Editorial Correspondence SAN FKANCIfiCO, QaKL, the melody linger on. Judging by what one hears in the newspaper offices the Oregon delegation made a big hit down here, particularly Governor Martin. The general took occasion to pay his respects to Harry Bridges, and his radical labor outfit, via the radio, and everyone is cheering the courageous and forthright chief executive of the Beaver state. "Wish we had a governor like that down here" is the remark one hears on all sides, as far as the Fourth Estate is concerned. And a pretty fair cross-section of publie opinion should be represented by the newspaper boys and girls. . The era of good feeling, regarding Oregon even extends to Mayor Joe Carson of Portland. The mayor came in for a goodly amount of panning when he refused to attend the Fiesta unless the bug control at the California border was abandoned. Oregon took it even more seriously than California, for there was some fear that this blast might hit Oregon's pocketbook, when the tourist travel starts in. As everyone knows California contributes more to Oregon during the tourist season than all the other states of the Union The ebullient Joe relented the jamboree showed he could take it, and his good sportsman ship removed any ill feeling that may have existed. Now the newspaper scribes are crediting Joe with "fine work" he didn't get rid of the bug control but he reformed it. We can testify to that for on the trip down, last Sunday, the uniformed factotum who passed us through the quarantine had all the urbanity and. grace, of a floor walker, greeting the store's best customer. He even took our word for it, that there was nothing in the luggage compartment but a little dust and an empty suitcase. Arthur Caylor, the capable news commentator, today paid this compliment to Portland's mayor: Apparently the high, tremulous wall put up by Mr. Joseph Caraon, the outraged mayor of Portland, ha turned California' border microbe-hunter Into a set of peraonallty boy. Anyhow, one of our vacationing agent tend word that they now meet you at the ctate Una with a amUe, a wisecrack and a. printed brochure entitled, "The Reason Why," which tell you the reason they must, although o sorry, go through your baggage In search of bug which are subversive to orange, grape and other fruit of orchard and Tine. Gone are the gruff ways of yesteryear, when the boy had only the single-minded Idee, that a fruit fly might be smuggling himself across the border, disguised ss a bit of embroidery on modems' nightgown. They still go through the bsggsg. It appears, but put more personality Into their work than a radio announcer selling soap flake for breakfast food. The rlsltor 1 sent on with grin So, from the standpoint of was a great success. After prowling around the strike stricken areas several hours, we have decided there is more to the hotel walk-out thau meets the eye. On the surface nothing separates the hotel managers and the unions, but the question of the so-called confidential clerks the managers don't want members of their executive staffs unionized, the union chiefs insist upon it. This appears rather a trivial point to fight over week after week, at the cost of hundreds of thouaanda of dollars, to the principal combatants, and the impairment of business of all kinds throughout the city. For several weeks we have wondered how either side can financially stand it. We can't provide evidence to Bupport the statement, but we have no doubt whatever, that this little walk-out has finally developed into another test of strength, between capital and labor . in the long suffering metropolis, that the hotel unions are receiving moral and financial support from organized labor and the hotel proprietors are ' receiving the same support, from the business interests generally represented by the Chamber of Commerce. In fact that old newsboy we mentioned who delivered anti-labor speeches with his papers, in Union Square, is said to be in the employ of tho Business Men's association. We can't say as to that, but such a set-up wouldn't surprise us. In fact the situation closely resembles the situation in the maritime strike reached here around the time of the Big Game last fall. We said then conditions would probably get worse beforo they got better. They did. We would make tho same prediction regarding the hotel strike now. . . This rising tide of labor is rather like that chain letter craze which swopt tho country a few years ago. We hope it proves as short lived but doubt that it will. However the final outcome will be the same, eventually the American people will come to their senses, and put a stop to the racket. ; That report about a newsboys' union for example, was cor rect. We talked with one of our old newsboy friends, "Toothless Joo", this morning. He now sports a union button on his ragged coat lapel and is all pepped up about it. We asked him how he could afford to pay union dues when he only makes from ten to fifteen dollars a weekt "Ain't paid no dues" said Joe, "not a cent.

Ain't that right 1 Oh I ain't foolish like some of 'cm, see they ain't wiso to things like me, I ain't fer any guaranteed amount, but we ought to get a cent and a balf for a three-cent paper, and this bonus business ought to be put straight, so the more a man sells the more he makes. As it is it's all mixed up and the wholesalers play their favorites." "Well it will cost you dues sooner or later" we remarked. "Maybe so" said joe, "but if it costs too much, a fella can quit, can't he, no law against that." Joe may find there is, and he may gci nis neau cnickpii open if he disregards it 1 But one can seo from this how the competition between A F. li. and CI I. O. is speeding up the labor movement. . .

It's 100 French, excellent food, not expensive, and most of the waiters have been on the job, since before the "fire". Hut a grim faced female was pacing up and down before tho door, with a red banner on her chest, informing all and sundry that Pierre's "is unfair to organised labor." The place was crowded as usual, largely with men from the financial district, but the usual calm efficiency, of the service was lacking. The working force from the pink checked captain down was jittery. Nothing like this had ever happened to Pierre's before, the boss had not even been served with any complaint. The burden of the reaction with many a Gaellic shrug was this: "WHAT'S YOt'CIOIS' TO DO ABOUT ITT" That ap pears to be the query ian Francisco will have to answer now, and the ret of the country sooner or Inter!

SLOW CARBON MONOXIDE ASPHYXIATION Thousands of persons, even news paper men, now know that the great majority of morons are good cltlsenr, that aphasia means Inability to speak and not inability to remember, and that dope which numbs the feel tngs does not necessarily cor rect or cure the d t s c o m fort or trouble one wishes to, forget. A good , many persons who have bad a common school education now know that slight pollution of the sir with carbon monoxide gas, for Instance from the exhaust of an automobile engine running in a closed garage or a gas wster heater with a sooted or defective burner in a poorly ventilated house or a small portable gas heater burning for a short time in a bathroom or a gas heater with out chimney burning In a bedroom where a person sleeps, may mean sud den death from carbon monoxide gas asphyxia. It Is slowly percolating through to the consciousness of the wiseacre mind that the presence of a danger ous proportion of carbon monoxide gas in the sir gives no warning put overcomes the victim and renders him powerless to move or to attempt to escape before he loses conscious ness and ceases breathing. As miners exposed to "after-damp," the carbon monoxide gaa left In the air after explosion of dynamite or other ex plosive, say, the victim "freezes," seems to become suddenly fixed in attitude snd deaf to cries of his mates or In some Instances resentful and pugnacious If they try to rush or drag him out of danger. Newspaper Item records suddeu collapse and death of a man In his home. Coroner's Investigation Indi cated that carbon monoxide had been a contributing cause, though the man hsd been subject to heart disease.

In a report of a clinical study of a series of cases of slow carbon mon oxide asphyxia (anoxemia) Dr. Har vey Beck pertinently remarks: "Some authoritative textbooks on medicine either do not recognise the existence of chronic carbon monoxide asphyxia as a clinical entity or lead one Into doubt and pass the matter over with a mere reference to the subject." For that matter, medical literature in America la sadly degeneratedNlne tenths of It (books and current peri odicals) i rehash and mostly defunct stuff at that. American medical lit erature Is built to sell the sucker trade. Publication of medical books and medical JourneU Is largely racket. Really new developments or ideas are rejected by the publishers because they are new or "unaccept ed." Thla policy keeps medical lit erature always five or ten years be hind the progress of medicine. That's the way the old-ttmers like It, That's why chronic carbon monoxide anox emia or anoxia or slow asphyxiation Is seldom recognised. Doctors muff It because they have never learned to recognise or even suspect It. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Adenoids. I am 46.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS SATURDAY, loyalist Spanish waxplane bomb a Oerman bat tleablp lying In a rebel Spanish port, killing 34 Oerraan sailors and wound ing S3 more. On Monday, In retaliation. Oerman warships bombard and virtually de stroy the loyalist Spanish port of Almerla. NORMALLY, these would be ACTS OF WAR, But tha Spanish situation lent normal. Tot month, dictator-ruled Oermany and dictator-ruled Italy hare been backing tha Spanish reb els. For an approalmately equal length of tune, die to tor -ruled Russia haa been backing tha Spanish gov ernment, and for a while socialist' Inclined Franc was giving all the help she could without getting caught red-handed at It. The outside backing of both aide in tha bloody and vicious Spanish clvu war haa been, unofficial, and all of the partlea to It have pro fessed PUBLICLY th hope that the war may be confined WITHIN Spain. (There hare been frequent and ve hement denial from aU governments concerned that ANY backing was be ing given, but of course, nobody be lieve an official government state ment, becaus governments don't hesi tate to LIB DELIBERATELY when ever lying happens to suit their purpose. They excuse It on th grrunds of "national necessity.") ON ITS face, you see, the Interna tional situation that revolve around Spain Just doesn't make sense. For that reason, It 1 hard to guess what these bombings and bombard ments, which in any ordinary state of affairs would be undoubted acts of war, may mean In the way of re sult. ("By results," of course. Is meant whether Xurope I to be plunged at once Into war or whether thla crisis can be passed over a oth er have been.) It all depend on what th parties to this strange situation REALLY WANT especially th aggressive par tie. V OERMANY and Italy ever WANT . to plunge Europe into war snd think that now la aa good a time as any for their purposes, th results may be very serious Indeed. But If they are not yet ready, ther will be further stalling. . There can't be much doubt, how ever, that Spain 1 a ponder keg that might at any moment blow Europe Into another general war.

Conraiwucations An Antl-semltlc Slant. To the Editor: In your Issue of May 77, you ask editorially -Why the Oerman Flag?' and I reply thst It Is because of the drastlo Jewish purge which haa been directed by Hitler under the Swastika emblem. The hand of the Interna- tionauy-mlnded Hebrew no longer dominate Oermanlo foreign policy or nome rule. Hitler la the most determ mined and aggressive force which Is pitted against the spread of Com munism. Hence the bitter attitude toward Hitler on the part of Jewish, controlled avenues of propaganda and Jewish-directed communistic groups in labor organisation. It la to the eternal honor of the pope that he ha heroically clung to a slender thread of life In order to warn and arouse an apathetlo ChrU tlan world against the peril of com munism. These lnternetlonallst are for the most part follower of the doctrine of Karl Mark, who waa the son of a Hebrew lawyer In Oermany. ii me Roman Catholic church would purge Itself of the Hebraic Influence exerted through th power and policy of Hebrew cardinals and priest within the church, then as Hitler ha stated, he could make common cause with the Roman church, a Indeed all other Christian churches and nations, against the very Imminent dangers of com munism. It la significant thst It wu George (Cardinal) Mundeleln who recently aasslled Hitler; also that it was at a convention of Jewish women that tna half-Hebrew Laauardla. mayor of New York. wa (mboldened to make his 'vitriolic attack upon Ger many's national leader. Regarding the Swastika, it is th oldest form of the cross and th cross haa for JO eventful centurle been the sacred emblem of Chris tianity. Therefore. It Is Inevitable that communism, which I opposed to all religion and especially tht Christian faith, should Insult ths erosa and particularly tnat form of the cross which hsa become the na tlonal emblem of Oermany. Those soclsi repercussions are logically th heritage of Germany. For daring to totiit Oo Delidoui Lost River BUTTER oppoaa communism and repudiate the Hebrew for hi part In It. Oermany recognize that the com munist and the Hebrew are more than allies, and now America 1 be ginning to learn, hut year the red flag llew from the supreme court building, "In Jest," It wa aald; thl year an attempt baa been made to "pack" the court, not In Jest but in fact. ARIEL BURTON POMEROY. Central Point, June 3. (Continued front Page On need are raw material, gold. Inter national balance, credit, etc., and they know very well they will not find these In Spain. Pincers. The only asset possessed by Italy or Oermany which la causing any fear around British or French GHQ's la their air force. How much these would amount to right now 1 not entirely clear. In Spain, thla asset ha not been enhanced, as is well known. Military experts outside the air ervlce still say no ground was gained In Spain by airplanes, that they were merely proved to be the eye and propagandist of the armed forces. That is, they terrorize the populace and can be used against troops In many Instances. But many still re member that conscription could not. or at least was not, tried in London until the Zeppelins started bombing the city. Air men tell the other aide of the story which everybody knows. However, on the sea or land, Prance and England seem to have little rea son to b apprehensive. The French fortifications are rated by most mili tary authorities as being well-nigh Impregnable. The British fleet, hold ing an advantage over Germany to day which is greator than at tho outset of the World war, could cer tainly be expected to keep Hitler's pocket battleships in the North Sea pocket which nature has furnished. The Italian fleet would dominate the Mediterranean in any outbreak to day. But England controls Gibral tar and the suee. Mussolini's boats could paddle around In the pond, but England could keep them there and maintain It longer life-line around the Horn to the far east. This should be enough to convince nearly anyone that, when Hitler and Mussolini are thinking up things to do these day, starting a war la not one of them. 'Checking I'p.
