Quality All-Important
The need for renewed emphasis on the physi- .
cal well-being of American manhood is becom
ing increasingly evident as additional informa
tion obtained through the national selective
service act comes to light.
In quantity, figures show we've nothing to
worry iuquu rive years ago uicic wac
400.000 men in the 20-44 military age group,
and within 23 years this total is expected to
be at least 29,000,000.
Bat as to quality: "It was hard for us to.
realize the exact state of I the youth of ' the
natinn aa rovaaA k statist ire frrvm. the draft."
The quotations are those of Maj. Gen. George
Lull, deputy surgeon general of the army, as
contained in a memorandum of the population
reference bureau. The general adds that after,
selective service was well underway "we grad
ually lowered our standards: we had to if we
were to get an army. ,.
Col. Leonard G. Rowntree, chief of the selec
tive service medical division, said the "amaz
ing conditions released by - - statistics - - -1
is a challenge to the medical profession fJkrti- '
cularly and to all interested in national health
and national morale, nd to the future of the
nation and its youth. j : "
Wars or no wars, the neglect of the physical
condition of the nation's youth should no longer
be tolerated. Community health and welfare
programs must be given more attention; in
creasing emphasis must be laid on such pro
grams, in the publie schools. The age of ma
chines and atom bombs hasn't done away with
the . need for strong and virile manpower.
Rather, it has accentuated that need and its
recognition should not be delayed.
He Violated His Own Code
They got Tojo all right Then he got himself
(although he wasn't dead as this is written).
And it is to be wondered just what part in
his attempted self-destrujction was played by
the American war correspondent! who inter
viewed him but a few hours before he shot
.himself.
Hot that the correspondents did any more
than ask him some very embarrassing questions.
But could it have been that these very ques
tions gave the one-time war lord the definite
impression that the jig was up? He was asked
who. was to blame for the war; what defense
he had ready for a trial as a war criminal; why
Japanese lost, and a lot of other queries that
might have cry stalized . in his , mind the fata
that could be in store.' ; j i
Yesterday he laughed, complimented Ameri
can soldiers. Within a few hours . he sent a
bullet through his chest and lay mumbling
while American plasma was pumped into his
veins. . i , : : , ' .
Dead or not, he did one favor. He violated
the traditional. Japanese hara kirl code by using
a bullet instead of a knife, and thereby didn't
do proper homage to the emperor. It may be
that such act lost him a notch in the books of
Nipponese history. Too bad. .. t

An Encouraging Step I . -.-.
The recommendation ofj a branch of the
senate's small -business committee, in regard
to the Salem alumina plant; is - a heartening '
step in the campaign to assure at least an ex
perimental operation rather than abandonment
of all the money and effort already invested
in the project. ,-' 'if'; - V r :
The sub-committee proposed that the RFC
"continue in effect contracts tor operation of "
the government-owned semi-commercial alum
ina plants until private enterprise determines
which plants, if any, it will tftke oyer And if
private enterprise does not t assume such re-,
sponsibility, ! it was recommended j that plants
"be turned over to the bureau: of mines for.
operation, expansion or maintenance, accord--Ing
to the best interests of j national defense. -
Now here is one official Import which makes
sense. ' '. jj A ''l! . . I;'.
The Salem plant is 99 fper cent complete,,
according to the Columbia Metals president, J.
O. Gallagher, and even more encouraging is
the "disclosure that necessary allocations of am
monia and sulphuric acid have been assured. ;
Proponents of the operations' continuance
have j repeatedly and rightfully stressed that
never again should this nation be so dependent
upon foreign sources for baiixite used in alumi
num production. Any new development that
might aid in domestic self-sufficiency is not
to be discounted lightly, ' f
The RFC already has directed Columbia Met
als to carry on, and for the present it appears
the plant will definitely stay in the national
picture. The decision is mora than commend
able, and with the potential by-product of fer
tilizer looming as a major actor in Willamette
valley agriculture, it will be unanimously wel
comed. "

Tojo is many things, .but he ,1s also vain. As

Tojo coordinated if he did not actually plan
the start of the war. He had jsuch resounding

This is only human, of course,
but it smells like the same snivelling we hear from
Germans who blame everything on the nazl party.
It is not necessary to .feel sorry! for Tojo to

This book, which Adams re
fers to as possibly his "swan
song" as a historian, is In gen
eral a hymn' to Big Business and
more particularly it's theyapo
thesis of General Motors; , !
The Ford Company, does not
fare anywhere near so well,
maybe because Ford, without
mentioning historians, called
history the "bunk.? And neither
do the ' New Deal, Roosevelt,
- Wallace, the "notorious" Wag
ner act, taxes, bureaucrats, la
bor, reformers, liberals, radicals
nor- the press which he com
plains does not furnish the news.
The world has always been
business, he says, but it. re
mained foe: America to develop
Big. Business which supplies
Jobs, satisfies consumers mani
fold wants, . enriches widows,
orphans and, other stockholders
and builds weapons. In incredible
quantities. "Perhaps our Big
Business is, after all, the Mount
Ararat on which the ark of free
civilization is to rest after the
world flood."
1 Using GM as-his 'principal ex
ample, he sketches its history,
finances and policies, and .gives,
brief biographies of leaders like -
Sloan and Kettering.
j Though what he says is plain
enough his manner of writing
is a kind of stumblebum process,
one step forward and two steps
back. His pages are filled with
references to "what ! Fve Just
said" or promises of things "to
be- taken up later "
I He writes as an after-dinner
speaker talks, in a hi-ya-fellaj
style: history is a long train. that
goes "toot toot;" reformers write
"tripe;" the text is sprinkled
with "ain't," blankety-blank,w

In case you dont know the ap
proximate area of this country,
he tells you seven times that It's
3.000,000 square miles. He refers
17 times to other books he has
written, and names five of them.
He says 10 times f that he has
been abroad. He says six times
that he comes of ancient Ameri
can lineage.
That's the trouble with his
too much lineage. Adams,

: But when the gamble failed, another Kwantung
army man, General Yoshi jiro Umetsu, was chosen to

him to make contacts. When he

sick says, champs in the various
classes can go back to the main
land where "as legitimate
champs they? can draw good
crowds and good enough dough."

Youth Problem
1 .1
jCiHiDiiasizea in
Steps must be taken now to head
off increasing juvenile delinquency
and avert what threatens to be
come a major postwar problem,
Robert W. Hansen, Milwaukee,
Wis-, editor of the Eagles' national
magazine, asserted In an address
Tuesday night at the "Eagles' club
house. Worthy President I. T. Wal
lace presided at the meeting. '
Hansen, former, national presi
dent of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, warned that war and its
aftermath are always accompanied
by a letdown in moral standards
which "m e n a c e : the future of
youth.' Already, be pointed out,
Juvenile delinquency has increas
ed SI per cent in the last year, ac
cording to Juvenile court records.
Unless this trend is halted, the re
sult' will be- disastrous for the
countrys future, Hansen declared.
The speaker said that solution
of the Juvenile delinquency prob
lem is one of the major concerns
of the Eagles organization and that
local Aerie-committees on youth
guidance have been established all
over the nation to co-operate with
the juvenile problems. .
Turning to another major Eagle
activity, aid for returning service
men, Hansen said the local com
munity must' supplement national
and state rehabilitation programs
with . neighborly aid K and under
standing if servicemen are to be
properly restored to community

McClure outlined many of the

He pointed out that Salem Is

tne older houses in Salem's resi

the buffer formed by state-owned
property around the city which
