IS.
Reporting at Cassino 1
' Two weeks or so ago the military authori
ties in Italy, tired of the Cassino stalemate,
ordered Allied troops out of its ruined alleys
by nightfall, and next day gave the shattered
fcity a complete Doolittle" treatment, using
the B-17 and B-23 clippers all over and behind
too. ' r j
The newspaper reports were uniformly en
eouraeinz. after weeks of indecisive announce
ments of brief advances and retreats. From the
tenor of the news stories, which seemed to come
from the highest military J authorities on the
Italian peninsula, the immediate occupation of
a m m - . 9
xne town ox issino ana an advance up mona
stery Hill behind it which promises to stand
with Missionary Ridge and Cemetery Ridge in
American military annals seemed only a mat
ter of time. There was talk of the "heaviest'
raid of the war on a single area (later revised),
and of an "irresistable" weight of explosives
dropped by airplanes ; and from the muzzles 01
heavy cannon. v-;
' I Yet the German was unaccountably there
the next afternoon when the infantry went
back in. Although pushed into a corner of the
town, and suffering from important casualties
and the loss of prisoners, he still managed to
-fight, and by last week had even won back a
few buildings, and restored his tanks at least
temporarily in the peculiarly unmilitary lobby
of j the Continental Hotel. This time the an
nouncements were remarkably sober: one went
so far as to say that the bombing of Cassino
had hardly altered the American position, and
that the fall of the city was still undecided.
The incident proved pretty clearly that
bombs alone are not enough to smash a modern
enemy, strongly entrenched in a city construct
ed of stone. This lesson was taught a year ago
at Stalingrad. v i 1
lit showed, unfortunately, one (more thing:
that news reports of purely ; tactical operations
of the armies in the. field can be gravely mis
taken even when originating among military
authorities who ought to know. Part of the
blame should fall on- these military authorities
themselves, since it is certainly their job to
know if anyone does ;what military results
actually do occur from a given operation. The
rest, and perhaps not the lesser part, should fall
on the newsmen themselves, who permit them
selves to be swept off their world-travelled
feet at the first announcement of long-awaited
success, and who later, when the early prom
ises of success are not fulfilled, then lean the
thr wv In npwimium " : .
This is a small matter, indeed, and the pub
lic can never expect letter perfect reporting,
just as it can never expect absolutely impecca
ble generalship. Yet considering the number of
experienced reporters on the scene, and the
wealth of their facilities, the public should re
ceive better service. If things are distorted in
Italy, what will they be during the invasion?
The real question that arises over the new
Russo-Japanese agreement cancelling Japanese
oil concessions on the northern half of Sakhalin
island is whether there is any understanding
that Russia will stay out of the 'Pacific war.
Russia's occupation with Hitler on the west '
makes understandable its neutrality in the war
with Japan. But the allies have been hopeful
that when Hitler was polished off Stalin would
join to crush Japan. Use of Siberian bases
would be invaluable, accessible as they are from
Alaska. Stalin has probably made no commit
ment with the western powers, and it is doubt
ful if this oil deal is bought at . the price of
Russian neutrality indefinitely. Stalin , will re
serve the privilege of changing his direction as
often and as rapidly as suits his policy.

The War News
By KUtKE L. SIMPSON
- Copyright 1M4 by the Associated Press
There are 'stirring and significant happenings
In the Pacific and Burma theaters, but it still is
on Europe that world attention is concentrated.
Expectation of impending, war developments of
major import heighten every hour as Russian and
allied forces set themselves for: the final two-way
victory drive against Germany mapped at Teheran.
The plight of the only nazi willing war partner,
Japan, as powerful American naval forces drove
deep through . her punctured south Pacific atoll
defense ring is obvious. It forced Tokyo Into an
abject diplomatic surrender to Russia, yielding oil
and other mineral concessions on. Sakhalin - island
rather than risk friction with Moscow.
. But it is on the other side of the world that April
' weather seems destined io see the attack on the axis
rage to a new high. Nowhere from the French Med
iterranean coast to the Balkan peninsula in the
south, from the Black sea to the Baltic In the east '
and from Norway to the Franco-Spanish border
in the west can nazi defenses of the European con
' tinent rest easy, i --;;r CT;'''';" ,"::-r y.y-
Brighter April skies mean new blistering air at
tacks for Germany and already shaken Balkan sat
ellites. There are intimations from high allied
sources that Anglo-American air power from Ital
ian bases is linked definitely now with the Rus
sian thrust toward the Balkans. The vital Budapest
communications hub in Hungary, key to the whole
nazi defense front in southeastern Europe, is in
easy reach for Foggia-based American and Brit
ish air heavies. That fact lends grim significance
io Moscow's warning to Hungary as well as Bul
garia and Rumania to get out of the war while yet
I! ?re is time. ;' -7 :.:r :..'V
The nazi retreat under sustained and - relentless
1 i army pressure In the south symbolizes . des
; - rata Gerrun need of husbanding manpower and
r.ort zr&r.z the eastern defense front In expecta

Fires in Valley Towns " , '. .
Molalla and Dayton are neat towns in. the
valley. Both have been hard jhit recently ; with
fires in their business sections. The experience
points to the necessity for higher standards of
building construction in these towns as well as
for well-equipped fire departments. It is im
possible to maintain paid departments in the
smaller cities, so the need for fire-safe con
struction is greater rather than less in such
communities. ' - M;'i ' -' -S " '
Rebuilding will i go forward hi both cities,
and it is to be hoped that factors of fire security
will be studied in both these, fine little cities.
Earl K. Nixon will be hard to replace as di
rector of the state department of geology and
mineral industries. He was a ime icornbination
of a man with both theoretical knowledge and
practical experience. He was untiring in his ef
forts to develop Oregon's mineral wealth, but
conscientious in not lending encouragement to
fly-by-night promotions or dubious prospects.
Add manpower shortage solutions: The stage
play shown recently in Portland, Blithe Spir
it", had only two men in the cast. But The
Voice of the Turtle", anotherj current hit, has
only three characters.

WASHINGTON, April 2 Of ten I the charge
is made that communists have dne such and such
whereas the culprits are realty only ; bewildered
radicals, lunatic fringers or even
socialists who hate the com
munists, worse thaii true dem
ocrats. f ; j ' ' '
But of thf American Labor ,
party results! in New York, the
charge is putisticaQy accurate.
You can gp through the re- :
turns precinct by precinct and
prove the wail of defeated ele-
Ar- 1 ments that j their party wag
Cslil'r'-- captured by jcommunists. Cer- '
raai atanoa tain city areas are known to .
have long been communist-controlled, and those
undeniably furnished the complete victory of the ,
Hillman faction. : S
Also the Hillman communistl faction has i long :
been credited with 85,000 to 100,000 votes, and
these they got "I S '
The communists won because, they: have better
discipline. Less than half the registered voters of
ALP went to their party polls in New' York -City.
The commies were a minority of a ininority, but
they got out their vote and seized control! i
: This being the incontestable j result, the most
authoritative sources have concluded that ' Mr.
Roosevelt and particularly Mayor LaGuardia, will
be the main sufferers and that ALP:will now ra
pidly lose its importance and become inconsequen
. tiaL'' . . . . . 4 !
Labor already has moved out in bulk and re
turned to the democratic and republican parties. .
AFL and John Lewis are now definitely anti
communist, and CIO must now follow this trend.
David Dubinsky (Garment Workers was Hill
man's opponent in the primary and . already has
left Hillman holding the communist sack. .
To . control . any movement, communists must
keep, their leadership secret or confused. Once
they identify themselves with controls in this coun
try, they become an ineffective minority.
But meanwhile the republicans . will capitalize
on these events for the coming fourth i term cam
paign and charge that the communists promoted
1t as they initially fostered petitions lo the White
House, etc They can cause considerable embarrass
ment at least, because of Hillman's White House
connections and his assertions of fourth term lead- :
ership. i- ' i-f ' - I;
The result, however, practically wilted the Little
Flower. Unlike the bulk of labor, Mayor LaGuardia
compromised. He did not withdraw as they did, but
pronounced himself neutral. He might as well nave,
proclaimed himself neutral between God and the
devil or between right and wrong. ? ." -
On the face of these facts, it is not too much to
conclude that the most formidable' third ; party
labor movement yet presented In this country
one which wielded a balance of power in the elec
tion of state and national officials in the nation's
-largest state is now dead.
" True meaning of the somewhat surprising Okla
homa special election result was lost in democratic
jubilation and republican silence. It simply fsug-
gested the democrats can win if they offer the
best man. i
Their candidate for the congressional seat (which
they have held for years by generally top-heavy
majorities) was a former, state commander of .the
American Legion, and the more popular man. The
republican candidate had been sent to the same well
once before, and ran close to victory then solely
because the democrat who then held tie seat had
become personally unpopular, even subsequent
ly giving up his congressional career rather than
trying to run again. ,' ! , " ; , I
j Some have attributed the outcome to the dem-
ocrats pouring in Senator Berkley and promises
of some war plants (the district had received few)
while others conversely claim the closer-thannor-
' mal republican race was due to the republicans ;
pouring in some money. j ' 6: '
! Far more important was the fact that the demo-1
erats had the assistance of a state machine, and
counties machines, which nearly , always can wield
dominant power In special elections f where the
general run of people do not go to the trouble of
. voting. (Again witness ALP. in New York.) . j ;
The O'Connell brothers (Albany machine),; who
publicly threatened to climb, up Jim Farley's back, '
soon climbed down -again. The stories that they
.were inspire! by Mr. Roosevelt's inside political
manager, David K. Niles, may have gone a little
too far; Apparently,' there had been some inside
talk from Niles about getting Farley out, but no
demand for action." . jr ;t ,:
Most accurate explanation is that gome Albany
boys had bee a imbibing some cough medicine,: now
rare, , the day they gave out that story and were
slightly tipsy. '; ' ;" "
The administration cannot afford to anger Far
ley's friends around the country in a fourth term
"year." "r " " " l.-

(Continued from face
free country is deeply imbedded
in the minds as well as the hearts
of citizens of all classes.
Other basic rights which the
citizen knows he has are the
right of trial by jury and secur
ity in one's person, property and
papers save on warrant of search
or seizure. He may ; not know
they are embraced in the bill of
rights; but he knows what they
are and doesn't hesitate to claim
those rights if molested.
One of the disturbing things of
the new scheme of government
is the overthrow of rights that
once were deemed elemental,
like the right of a farmer to grow
and use or sell crops as he want
ed to, interference with- prices,
either against "chiselers" as un
der NRA, or "profiteers' as un
der OPA. The individual is left
a bit uncertain as to just what
his basic "rights are, and much
too acquiescent over the loss of
those rights.
The bill of rights, as students
of civics know, is the term ap
plied to the first ten amend
ments to the national constitu
tion, adopted within a few years
a f t e r the original constitution
was framed and adoped. The bill
however ir merely the enumer
ation of rights long enjoyed or
asserted by the colonists and are
the product of centuries of strug
gle against powers claimed or
exercised ; by - arbitrary govern
ment. The important thing is not
that the people are so ignorant of
the bill of rights but that they
know and claim and fight for the
elemental rights which are the
. legacy ' of many generations of
fighters in behalf of human free
dom, on fields of battle and of
political contest

Bull Session of US Fliers
Gets Doim to Fundamentals
. : ' By KENNETH L. DDCOIT "
WITH THE AEF IN SABDINIA, March 23 -(Delayed) -(ff)-There
was a sudden silence in the little room where the airmen
sat For a moment no one looked at the tail, lair nairea capin
who had spoken. Finanr someone clearea ws inroad : tl
"How is that again? he said. ; i , ,
"I said that as long as we live under our present code of ethics
always)
and virtues ' that thereH
be war, and I said that I am not
convinced but that war is a pret
ty good, thing." . ; l &p '-
. Again the pilots and bombard
iers sat still for a-moment It was
hard to believe their ears- Having
been shocked into stunned speech
lessness for that long,' they were
obviously deciding to bear the
guy out before unleashing thelr
wrath. ; Besides, he- was . one2 of
them,, bad been through the mill
with them. You could almost hear
the wheels of their minds turning
as the fire crackled In the stillness.
"Just how do you mean that?
one of them asked. 1 know places
where you'd be lynched for a
crack like that" : ..
"Probably go," the captain
shrugged. "But I'm tired of aU
this pointless stuff of how hellish
war is while a war is going on,
and how. we're going , to prevent
another war . and so on, when all
the time the war brings out all the
characteristics- we are taught from
childhood are virtues;: Without
war those virtues would die out,
so it must follow that either those
virtues are wrong or else war is a
pretty good thing after alL" : H ;
"What virtues does war have?"
someone asked. '" :
"Courage is one," the blond
captain replied. "At home in
school, I in , church, we're ' taught
from kids that courage is a vir
tue, a wonderful thing. Discount
ing all the substitutes for war you
find in sports and in a daily com
petitive struggle for existence, war
is a final mass test of courage, the
only one that gives great numbers
of men) a chance to prove their
physical courage at least
He stared in the fire for a min
ute then continued:
"Unselfishness, or rather self
lessness, is another; the willing
ness to lay down one's life for a
friend or lor a cause. Patriotism
is another; wHlingess in the final
analysis to lay. down one's life for
one's country. Leadership and
faith in! leadership. . .
fWar' tests those virtues out It
marks the difference between the
men who have them and the men
who don't Without war or' some
thing similar those virtues would
rot from disuse.
Once again silence hung over
the room. It was broken by an
obviously bitter youth - who had
spent considerable- time on ' the
front. , .. , (" "
"I think I could make you
change your mind about war be
ing a good thing," he said harsh
ly. "Not with words, I mean, hut
I think you'd change your mind.
There is nothing good about dead
kids lying beside the road, or guys
cut all to pieces." His voice trailed
"If you mean it would bring
the war home to me, replied the
captain, "I dont think that's ne
cessary. My brother was killed
In a P33 the other day. My other
brother Is over here, too, and he's
likely to get It I've lost most of
my best friends out of this group
mat way. L may get it too. No, X
don't think that would change my
mind." ; )i :,; A p; -
V "Besides," he continued,"! dont
say war is a good thing In Itself.
I don't know about that; I only
know that under our nresent stan
dard of virtues it seems to be, and
as long as men. continue to ad
mire those virtues thereH be war,
and I get sick and tired of aU this
talk about war being terrible and
how we're going to stop it with a
world police force and a new ec
onomic system or this or that
when they have nothing to" do
with it : They might delay another
war, but they won't stop it
"It's our ' standard ; of virtues.
If cow-age. and chivalry and pat
riotism j and leadership and faith
in a cause or a country are vir
tues, are worthy of dying for, then
war Is partially a good thing," for
it keeps them alive and active. Jf
they're not worth dying for. then
war is certainly a terrible thing.
But the only way well stop it is
to revise our standard of virtues."
. . "You're crazy, the bitter youth
said slowly. ''You're wrong. I can't
tell, you exactly where, but your
reasoning J Is haywire somehow.
War is wrong. That's all I know.
I don't know about .virtues." ,
"Well, I: know there "is no vir
ture in staying up all night listen
ing to you guys argue when you
won't settle anything, another
captain said, rising and stretching.
"I'm going to hit the sack.1 We've
got another damned early mission
in the morning.'

Considered logical: Members of

be," he said, 28 or 30 later. . i
Said Monpower ' Commissioner

more men than we originally "an

different men." He emphasized

must take the essential Jobs now
