Of i itment interest is Jackson's comment on Britain: "The fa-: that Lr.gland is moving towards socialism Is. or course, matter of disappointment to the defenders of capitalistic econ omv on tt.i side of the ocoan. But knowing the sturdy Individ u;m of the English, knowing their deep-rooted allegiance to h- i.f monies of freelom and to ordinary human decency. are rfident that Kiulantl. will stop short of the totalitarian t of mh .a I wm. whether of the red. black or brown" varieties."

Oct. 13. 1 tucked under my arm a fcopy of "No inflation Coming." a best seller which says you must have cash in the bank to take advant age of coming bargains in busi ness, and went Into the candy hnn : The sign1 said "15 cents a pound," aianu i uwimca uoa lur ina ui n I said: -Give me a pound of chocolates. The young lady re- P a aa .sponaea: -we cannot sell you a pound of ' choco lates." Puzzled amid the stacks of chocolates ly irur all around . the show case. I s k e d: "Who Psa sfsllaa stops you?" She I said: "We only sell the pound box which I will show you," and she did. It con tained about four chocolates and a dozen or more pieces of ten cent candy chewles, an inferior grade I had not seen since I bought them as a child, two for a penny I took another glance at the sign. "83 cents a pound." and tt sud denly dawned upon me that the OPA was being used an an excuse for a choice bit of hoodwinking. Here was a store loaded with chocolates, which would not sell them at iany price, but offering you a bog packed preponderantly wiin tne cneapesi grades oi cnew ies. It had deteriorated the qual ity of its advertised product by at least four times, so while the price list, it had actually quadrupled the price an actuality which would remained the same on the ceiling not showj In government statistics. I do not like chewiea, so I said: "No thank you," and left without candy. ? Washing Machine Oat Tucking my copy of "No Infla tion Coming" more, firmly In my armpit, and still reaolutely deter mined to believe everything I read, I went to see the washing machine man. My washing machine cost about $123 many years' ago, . but In the past year or so it has cost me more than $123 In repairs. The customary procedure has been that every few days the washwoman calls the' shop of Skinnem and Laughem and aays it ain't working again, whereupon Skinnem and Laughem sends out to get the machine charging me f? to make the trip, although it could be done in a taxicab with a fast meter for much less. In a week or so Skin nem and Laughem sends the ma chine back, demanding and getting payment before delivery or before letting you try the machine to as certain If It has been fixed. Gen erally the dust or dfrt is not even wiped from the machine, and when tried next day. it fails to work. and the washwoman calls Skinnem and Laughem again and says it ain't working again. That costs $7 more fort them to come and get it and the experience is repeated without variation. Wet's an Askunech? The bills of Skinnem and Laugh em are a work or art. They say: askrunoch $8." If I want to know what an askrunoch Is. I rmist ask in a hurry because the bill must be paid In advance, but when I -ak, the explanation Is I wouldn't understand anyway. The last bill was S17.39 for fixing something which could not be seen and a few weeks earlier it was $12.30. Rut I began to be inter ested in 'askrunochs deeply when bill (pay before delivery and without testing) was submitted for $49. Between illegible items on the bill was one Item plainly written: 2 rollers $7.50." Now I may not know what an invisible askrunoch is. but I know a roller on a wash ing machine when I see one, and I rouhd see this machine bore the saleofd chewed rollers. Gleefully figuring I had cornered my quarry at long last, as I say, I took my book, "No Inflation Coming" and went in to tell him the machine blew out four fuses the day after its last repair and to ask where were the rollers. Where Are the Kellers? To my surprise, Mr. Skinnem was not at all dismayed. He said he believed the washwoman had taken the new rollers from the machine 'because he saw them on the machine when It left the shop. I pointed out that my washwom an would ndt know how to re place a roller. bu this logic had no effect upon him. He eyed me suspiciously. He was Just about to imply that perhaps I had taken off the new rollers myself and sold them, when I happened to think that th washwoman could not have had the old rollers, and neither could I, because these could only be In his shop. If he had replaced them. This really stopped him. He was cornered. He promised to give' me new rollers. If I paid in advance and he would not deliver the machine unless paid. I said: "Mr. Skinnem you are running a racket worse than Ca pone. You collect In advance because you know you do not do the work for which you charge the customers, and If they complain and send the machine back to you, you merely charge them more money for not doing arjything. Perhaps you can get away with this week after week without end but the next time you charge me for something you have not done you will be confronted with warrant for obtaining mon ey under false pretenses. Good day -sir. ; Going out. J threw my copy of No Inflation Coming" as far down the gutter as I could. No inflation coming?; It is here.

Cistetasi (Kaas-r; Ml. Bruno Walter, 70 years old next month, has been permanently In this country since 1939 and Is known and respected from coast to coast wherever opera and sym phony are heard. He? celebrated a half century of conducting in 1944 and took a busman's holiday to write this book. It's also holiday, not gay but worthwhile and beneficial, for the reader, who without this auto biography cannot know all he ought to know about the contem porary musical scene. Walter got his start ; under Gustav Mahler, and now misses no chance to play Mahlers, as well . fts Bruckner! s works. Long before he thought of America, he knew von Bulow, Joachim, Richard Strauss. Schu- mann-Helnk. Max Alvary, Pfitz ner. Muck. Emmy Destinn, Nik lsch, Schoenberg (though he calls atonality a "musical disease" which still grates on his; ears), Koussevitzky, Furtwaengler, Ga-brilowitsch.

Salzburg, as a climax to the anti-Semitism of which he and Mahler felt the evil consequences In the first decade of this century. they drove him out of Germany and then Austria, and Jailed one of hit daughters. The greatest contentment he has enjoyed, he says, was in Vienna in the first years of his marriage. The "culminating points" and "most prolific period" of his life came in his' thirties in Munich. Granted the initial sensitivey. only Europe could have supplied him with the education and ex perience to which we owe heart felt thanks for, among other pre sentations, the "St. Matthew Pas sion" and "Fidelio"; and for a time only America could benefit from them. If these supplemen tary opportunities could be shared more evenly between the two con tinents. It would make the world a better place. ' Aside from his fierce scorn for 300 Vets in tate Take GI Farm Training More than , 300 Oregon veter ans are receiving farm training in 13 high schools of the state with vocational agriculture de partments, It was disclosed yes terday by Wayne F. Smith. Salem training officer for the veterans administration. Although the VA sponsors this farm training under the GI bill. Smith said, the instruction actual ly is supervised by the state di vision of vocational education. As classroom work is correlated with actual farm work, veterans ap plying for this training should be employed on a farm or own or lease their own farm. Smith stated. , Veteran farm trainees may re ceive the regular $63 monthly subsistence check from the VA If they are single or have no dependents or $90 a month if they have dependents. Smith said. This Is In addition to wages or other Income, but the $173-1200 a month income limitation where subsistence can be paid by the VA applies to those in farm training as well aa Job and insti tutional training for veterans. Smith pointed out. Inquiring ex-servicemen will find the VA office at 187 S. High st. open from 8 a m. to 3 p.m Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday.

Out of holes in the walls, out of the narrow doors of hovels black and cold as caves, crawl phantom-like men and boys. Disheveled, they emerge from crevices in dark archways, from hidden stairways, from what looks like catacombs. And slip-slop, slip-slop, their Ill-shod feet go shuffling down the cobbled streets . . . Here goes a man, lean and swart. In tasmeled black head shawl, brown Arab cloak, and san dals of worn camel-hide. There goes one, bearded, pale, and bent, in a broad fur 'shtreimel,' plum velvet 'kaftan', and boots made for Russian snows. Over there goes a third, fat and crafty-eyed, in a rakish red fez, European suit and American shoes that are new and squeaky . . . Here comes a Car- meuie monx, an Drown and ur sine, wan a lime brown cap over his tonsure; there goes a Greek priest, all black and bovine, his oiled locks tight In a top-knot. A little Anglican missionary, h i s back -but toned collar large enough to swallow his head, stumbles hurriedly down the; steps of some hospice. A Yemenite Jew, shrunk en, yellow . . . slides along as though fleeing from a ghont. A filthy Arab beggar . . . And so they go, slip-slop, slip-slop . . There are lights of hatred in those eyes, lights of hatred or dread or suspicion. It would seem that they feel as enemies to each other, these hundreds of creatures swarming in this ancient town. . "They have killed In this anci ent town, killed until every alley was flooded with blood. Not wall in this maze of walls but has rung with the groans of the dying Skulls beyond counting have been cracked on these flags; throats unnumbered have been slit in these dark doorways . . . Men have slaughtered and ravished in Jeru salem . because they had reli glon." Contenders in thf present strug gle are organized4; they are not merely individuals getting into brawls over ridicule of a ritual. The present trouble Is exaggera ted by the political and economic antagonisms between Jews and Arabs. But fundamentally the trouble stems, now as the people Browne describes, over differen ces In religion. One prays to Yah veh; the ther to Allah. Religion, which seeks to bind humanity in the worship of one God becomes the divider. And those who wor ship God through Christ, despite their professions, are often simi larly intolerant. The believers in the great reli gions seem unable to convert themselves to the principles of their own creeds. Army Kngitiper CJiicf To I'ay Vietit to Oregon PORTLAND, Ore., Cot. 12-(7P)- Lt. Gen.
