Whether from natural genius or deep objective purpose, or from the opportunities afforded, we find the greater numbers of these great leaders in the American ranks. From MacArthur in the Philip pines, around the world on every front, back to Ni- mitz in the far western Pacific, the allied forces are mainly led by American generals and admirals. General Marshall, as chief of the army board ; Ad miral King, as head of the navy, and General Hap Arnold, chief of the air, have been proven great or ganizers of our armed forces. Following them we find Eisenhower, McArthur, Stillwell, Clark, Hodges, Patton, Patch, Omar Brad ley, Simpson, Gerow, Wedermyer, and other able generals of the land forces; Nimitz, Halsey, Mitsch- er, Spruance and other Americans of the navy, and Spaatz, Doolittle and Chenault, and other great fly ers, scores of whom are winning honors on land and sea and in the air. Many were unknown, and many untrained, when we were compelled to enter the war. This is no attempt to discredit our other allied na tions. Perhaps we know our own best. Publicity is what the propogandists feed the public and natural ly we Americans like to hear all we can about our own part in the war. Of the fifteen armies on the western front, ten are ours, and are led by Ameri cans. In Italy the campaign is led by our man and, of course, the Pacific war is ours. In none of these campaigns have our generals failed, but have fought on to great successes. Great Britain has her unequalled Montgomery, and her Mountbatton is leading a great campaign in Southeast Asia. General Alexander is another great general and no doubt there are many others of whom we hear little. France now has a good army and general on the the Southern Rhine and Canada the same in Holland with Montgomery. Looking farther into the future, this long list of generals, along with many colonels and majors, will be back home and on the front of our possessions and will have much influence in the affairs of the nation. They may have a good deal to say as leaders of the soldiers who return to civilian life. These generals appear to be great men—other than in mil itary affairs—as we judge them from statements is sued and in their planning for the days following victory. They have followed our efforts in support of the war, and have watched the group actions, and those of congress at home. They are in the main young men and we must take them into account in the ef forts to win and maintain a lasting peace- -and in the conduct of our national affairs.

Howard Belton. Belton, who is a fine fel low and a successful farmer, was in “hot water" almost from the first day of the session until its close. Almost wholly inexperienc ed in parliamentary procedure. Belton was at the mercy of the “senator lawyers," who gave him a "bad time" on many of his rul ings when the "hot” bills were be ing debated. The chief clerk of the senate, who is supposed to know how to advise and direct the president, did a swell job of fur ther “gumming up the works" be cause she just didn’t “know her stuff". All of which added more grief and trouble on the shoulders of President Belton. A chief clerk can make or break an inexperien ced presiding officer. Over in the house, the smart and able Eugene | Marsh turned in a wonderful job as speaker, and his chief clerk dit- | to. One reason why the session ′ | broke all records for length is be cause not one night session was held during the entire 69 days None of the "old-timers around here can remember of any legisla- I ture that didn't have several night sessions, especially during the closing days. Be that as it may and all the hollering about a lone session, experienced lawmakers don t like the idea of "grinding” at their desk all day and night too They would rather work a few i days longer (for free) than to work both day and night Many a | trick bill has been put over in ■ the dying days of past sessions ! when the “powers that be" would | grind the boys morning, noon and ! night and the lawmakers would i become so tired and sleepy they | didn't know what it was all about | —except the “smart boys". There were quite a few “hot" bills in both hiuses this session, | but by far the “hottest" was the firemen's pension bill, which this | colun n predicted three weeks ago would be defeated in the senate, and it was less than an hour before the lawmakers closed up shop The politically smart Tom Maho ney tried every parliamentary trick in the book several times to I get the bill out on the floor for a final vote, but was blocked each time, and once by only one vote The governor’s “mansion" bill met the same fate on the same day af ter being railroaded through the house just the day before By far the strongest lobby seen around the state house in years were there force either for or against the firemen s pension bill. This is the ' s : of Hermiston ¡ > First National Bank of Hermiston F. B. SWAYZE, President lines opposite each eother, and gave each side a suit case filled with old clothes. Everyone had to put on all the clothes as their turn came. You should have seen the fun. everyone laughing at each other. You couldn’t hear yourself talk. The old as well as the young were in this game, and had real enjoyment. The side that finished dressing the first won a treat of candy. When the time to eat came, the tables were decorated for St. Pat rick’s day. and piled high with pie. ice cream and coffee. Again every one was in the spirit of joy, so all their pie eating couldn’t hurt them. : ′ While the dishes were being washed, more music, dancing and visiting was enjoyed until 12:00 o’clock. Now the public won't want to miss all this good fun, so we are inviting you to our next social meeting, April 10, at the U.S.O. library room and take over the large room at 10:00 p. m., so look for us and we will look for you. Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Nation will have another surprise in the way of program and games for us. | Òur business meeting will be held March 27 in the library room at the D.S.O. at 8:30 p. m.
