The trouble with some men in public life is that they think a lot of political bunk leads to an easy berth. A RETURN OF "GOONISM"? In the latest issue of The Oregon Voter, published by the able an denergetic C. C, Chapman is the allegation that "the facts will burn" when, as, and if all the truth ever is published about the strike trouble which has closed the huge Montgomery Ward estab lishment in Portland, throwing out of work 1,350 permanent employes, the second largest payroll in Portland. Chapman alleges: 1. Strike and closure brought about by dis tinct minority which has been able to inflict its will by terroristic tactics. 2. Non-striking employes denied unemploy ment compensation through manipulated pres sures. 3. Non-striking employes even prevented getting other work in many instances through pressures on employers who might hire them. 4. Non-action of Portland police and city authorities in obvious and repeated cases of vandalism such as backing motor cars in path of trains seeking to move merchandise to plant. 5. Misleading accounts in Portland news papers as to actual meaning of rulings made by National Labor Relations Board. Having attended a meeting of the non strikers, Mr. Chapman reports "faith in our American form of government was so strong we heard not one comment implying the slightest degree of skepticism that even the NLRB would fail to see justice done. There were no sneering remajks against the presi dent or his administration but faith that our government would do justice if the facts could be got before it" but "to get these 'facts involves considerable ex pense and the purses of the non-striking em ployees, of whom there are about 1,000, grow thinner day by day." Some of the intimations in Mr. Chap man's article are not at all pleasant and re flect no honor upon the city government of Portland or some of the influences which are generally credited with making it tick. Chapman's article has the sound of a plain challenge to the Portland papers to dig in and spread the facts. Or maybe, if the situation in Portland is hopeless, the state authorities can be per suaded to do a little investigating. - Where a majority of the employes of any plant or craft have OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL decided to unionize, there can be no question but the union must be recognized '(although even under such conditions, if we keep to American principles, the minority til lhas rights.) The efforts of a minority in a plant or craft to compel a majority to or ganize AGAINST THEIR WILL brings unionism dangerously close to the level of a racket. . All the people of Oregon will be interested to see if Mr. Chapman's prodding of the Portland mess brings any results. Many a belle finds out that married life is just one wringer after another. WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK "A PATRIOTIC MATTER" (Medford Mail-Tribune) Below are expressed by Angelo Scott of the lola (Kansas) Register the sentiments of every pub Usher In the land. A complaint is made that readers will agree is well-founded as they ponder Brother Scott's treat ment of the case. Asked by a government publicist to print in the Register a lengthy handout Mr. Scott did what was requested and then used the in cident as a base of some sound moralizing. Read It and see if you don't think so, too. "O. K., Mr. McMullan. There's your publicity. I save now helped you out in this 'patriotic matter. I have given vital Information to the readers of the Register whom you have been unable to reach 'in spite of all the efforts' of your office. "Perhaps this entitles me to ask you a question. Did it ever occur to you, Mr. McMullan, that if 'all your efforts' to appraise the readers of the Register of the changes in income tax regulations had in cluded an appropriation for reader advertising in the Register at our usual commercial rates of SO cents a column inch, it would not even have been necessary for you to ask for my 'patriotic' co operation? "I don't wish to bore readers of the Rerister with the private business troubles of a newspaper puDusner, rjut it aoes Burn me up tnat tne united States government can find money to buy every thing under heaven it needs except what a news paper has to sell, This alone must be donated as a matter of patriotism! "Yesterday I had a letter from the recreation center at Ft. Robinson begging a free subscription to the Register for the enjoyment of soldiers who might wish to read it. Every other thing the gov ernment provides for the soldiers in these recrea tion centers will be paid for in cash the chairs Ihey sit in, the lights they read by, the salary of the hostess who tells them hello. But not the news paper! that must be donated as a matte rof patriot- Ism. "Everything the treasury office in Wichita re quires is paid for in cash including the stationery Dn which Mr. McMullan's letter was written, the - salary of the stenographer who copied it. the en velope in which it was placed, and the automatic machine with which it was sealed. Everything ex cept tne newspaper space wnicn is needed to carry the department's new regulations to the people. This is a 'patriotic duty!' . "it win be the same from now unt 1 the end of the war. The butcher and baker and candlestick maker will make their contributions to the national defense on a basis of cost plus 10 per cent. The newspapers will be asked to make their contribu- uons on a Basis of free publicity and 'our deep ap preciation for a eopy of the paper in which it ap pears, So rests' the case of the nation's newspapers. Ably presented, it nevertheless is foredoomed to failure. The government will continue tossing money to the four winds, but at the same time making sure that none of it is blown in the direc tion of newspaper offices. Meanwhile it will con tinue to ask editors to give away the only thine they have to sell because it is a "patriotic matter." It has ever been thus, and probably always will. WASHINGTON LETTER Church Scene For Wedding Held Sunday WHY NOT PAGE MR. ATHERTON? The recent suspension, trial-by-civil-service, and re-instatement-with-h o n o r s-and-emolluments of the veteran Police Sergeant Roy Wilcox seems to have revolved around his status as an out-of-hours cabinet maker. The local CSC has decided that Sergeant Wilcox is a simon pure amateur and there fore still entitled to play in our local Police Conference. So be it till the next time. All we know of this case is what we have read of the testimony as boiled down to newspaper space and what we have been able to gather conversationally from persons in position to have some knowledge of facts. The deep down dirt seems to be that we have a city council which does not like civil service supervision of its police methods and we have a civil service commission which is not overly fond of the council, and it is per fectly obvious that Chief Bergman would be happier if Sergeant Wilcox were not about, and vice versa. All round we have a very unhappy and unhealthy situation but we sub mit these few reasonings as common sense: If Wilcox were guilty in letter or in spirit of violating the department rule against out side business, Chief Bergman's suspension should have had the civil service commis sion's support whether the civil service commission likes Bergman or not because if they are condoning Wilcox to get at Berg man they are starting a line which will .wreck civil service. If on the other hand the civil service commission has any reason to believe that Chief Bergman is persecuting Sergeant Wil cox or if they have any knowledge that Bergman is no longer fit to hold his office, they have a primary duty which is to see that proper charges are preferred and that Bergman Is weeded out. What the people of this town would like to know Is whether our cops are professional U copg.

July 7 Kenneth Dawson formerly of Portland, now of San Francisco, nearly lost his shirt to the United States maritime commis sion, last week. Mr. Dawson (once Republican state treasurer, raising funds for the GOP) is a steamship operator; managed the State line out of Portland to the orient before he went to San Francisco. Maritime commission was reaching out for the five freighters which Dawson operates between Los Angeles, San Francisco, Columbia river and Puget sound, ana planned disposing of the company and tossing Dawson and his office force "on the beach. Protest to Admiral Land of the commission drew the retort that it was "too bad" but the commission needed the boats. However, a little amendment was offered to pending legislation giving the commis sion control over all the American flagships and Admiral Land was willing to compromise. Instead of taking 100 per cent of the ships he would take but 60 per cent and leave Dawson with 40 per cent to serve the tidewater sawmills of the Pacific north west. Here is what was back of the commission's pro gram: Government has given good contracts to as sociates of Henry J. Kaiser to build bases lor the army and navy at Honolulu. Wake island. Guam. Dredges have been rented (one from the port of r-ortianaj ana tanen to the islands. Workmen have been gathered up from Grants Pass io Everett, Wash., and have been shipped in transports to the various destinations. More workers were needed, but most pressing need is to get cement, crushed rock, lumber, lime, nails and whatever it takes to these bases, for. with the exception of Honolulu there isn't even soil on the coral islands. The con tractors went to the maritime commission, said ships were needed to keep them in supplies, and as this is national defense the commission decided that Dawson's line would fit into the picture. The com mission planned to turn these five boats over to the President Line, operating out of San Francisco, and have that company manage them. The Dawson outfit could have been used, but the commission decided that as the President Line is subsidized by the government it is virtually a government-owned operation. And that is where three of the boata will go. These are busy days for Oregon's Charley Me Nary, Republican senate leader. As head of the "loyal opposition" It is his job to see that the senate works to a program. Democratic Leader "Dear Al ben" Barkley has been in a hospital for a month. Senator Jimmy Byrnes, who would ordinarily pinch hit, is to become an associate justice of the supreme court at the new term and he is busy brushing up on rules and procedure (possibly on Blackstone). Senator Pat Harrison, who was president pro tem pore of the senate and a close friend of Senator McNary, has passed on, after being in a hospital several months. Henry A. Wallace, vice-president, is absent. Normally, the Republican and the Democratic leaders make up the legislative program, but now with the Democratic top men sick, dead or too pre occupied with other matters, the task has fallen upon Charley Mack's shoulders, for even the as sistant Republican leader, Senator Austin, is absent The result is that McNary has to figure out some thing with Byrnes, ride to the hospital and discuss the situation with "Dear Alben," return to the capltol and talk over the general program with two or three senators who are recognised as 100 per cent new dealers. The miscalculators (mostly $1 a year men) are resigning. That they miscalculated was not their fault, but there is demand for a sacrificial goat for failure of anyone to foresee the demands made upon industry when the president announced the United States would be the arsenal of democracy. The ad ministration started out picking tip-top men in in dustry, men who knew the resources of everything from rubber to power. Until two months ago there appeared to be enough of everything, but with all out aid to Britain as well as .,nni,.i- a requirements, shortages appeared; powlr.laso line ffiUr,r5 HCPPer' J'"' tWehrSnttS .B J ?

Former Eugene Adjutant Has Big Job in Oklahoma An adjutant's work is never done. pn the broad shoulders of sandy haired, lanky Captain Charles L. Carlson rests one of the heaviest load of responsibilities at Will Rogers field. As air base adjutant, Captain Carlson's Job is to do every other job that is not specifically assigned to anybody else. He also func tions as number one aid to com manding officer Col. Ross G. Hoyt, and as a general clearing house for information both official and un official regarding the base. Back in the early days of Will Rogers field history last April, the war department sent Captain Carl son to Washington, where he at tended a special school for organi zation adjutants. When the cap tain came back to Oklahoma City late in May he brought with him voluminous notes on lectures, mim eographed texts and printed lec tures, all designed to impress up on him the complications and re sponslbilities of one of the biggest jobs an army officer can be given on any post. Here are a few of the things that an adjutant in Uncle Sam's Army is expected to be responsible for: 1 Receiving, recording and con ducting correspondence concern ing the military service of the United States, and of making ap propriate disposition of all com munications received. 2 Issuing instructions for the care, preservation and disposition of all records of the army wher ever located, and making general policies to coordinate administra tive practices. 3 General matters pertaining to the education, recreation, and wel fare of enlisted men. 4 Publishing and distributing regulations, training publications, tables of organization, orders bul letins and circulars and all mis cellaneous publications issued by the base commander. 5 Supervision of the base pos tal facilities.
