What Europe needs most la ft couple erf lunacy hearings, one Jn Rome and the othor In Berlin. e e Word comes from Georgia that Percy Bray, a former lawyer here, has been doomed by the people to the legislature, way down south. e e e "Mr. Chamberlain referred to what the government had dona for hous ing, and remarked that he thought they could say the housing problem was solved except for two strong holds the destruction of the alums and the extinction of overcrowding."

PIQSKIN WRITING Three are the days when the civic pride of sports writers leads them to chronicle home team victories on the gridiron, in enrnptured language, that la s cross between a society page report of a wedding, and an article by a CofO, secretary on the t climate. They run about like this: The mighty gridiron machine, carrying on high the title hopes of the handsome youths, coached by Percy Wonder, a former Gibraltar in the State line, who should be coach ing the University, after a titanic effort defeated the valiant, hard fighting Coyotes, 106 to 2, yester day afternoon. The Coyotee have no reason to be downcast over the re sult, nor the local athletes com mitting suicide over two points scored against them. The former looked. Impregnable, unconquerable, and with an invincible lust for vic tory. They should run: An alleged football team from Coyote played here yesterday, and the local prldra won, 106 to 3. The Coyotes should have stayed hlme, and the home squad should be ashamed of itself, for registering such a score.

TV-Alt enroll ment records for fall term at the University of Oregon were broken Monday when figure released by Dr. Barl M. Pallett, registrar, showed 8170 students had drawn registra tion material. Pellett snid the number last year at this time was Wfla. and that the total registration for the term was SI 30. New students who had drawn reg istration material Monday totaled 1341. thua assuring a final registra tion of approximately 1300 new stu dents. Last year the fall term mark was 1304. At least 300 more students sre ex pected to be on the rolls before reg istration closes since graduate stu dents snd those working for the uni versity have all this week to sign up without penalty. The final cumulative enrollment for all of last year 3460, may be brok en by the fall term registration, uni versity officials said. New students enrolling winter and spring terms may bring the final total up to the SfWO mark, sn all-time record. Wreck Hurls ratal CANYON CITY.

No Excuse for War WELL, while there is peace there is hope. And the world in still at peace, both officially and unofficially. Even along the Sudeten border, the armed forces on both sides, are exhibiting a commendable restraint. Which is all to the good. In fact, in the opinion of this column, unless Hitler is really mad, both mentally and morally IRRESPONSIBLE, in spite of the extremely critical situation today, there will be no general war in Europe, on Saturday. 'For if Hitler is sane, and meant what he said yesterday, why should there bet In that speech Der Feuhrer expressly stated, he was only interested in the GERMANS in Czechoslovakia, and if he were given the Sudeten, his territorial ambitions in that direction would be satisfied. His overwhelming fear seemed to be that President not keep his pledge to do this. But now England, following his speech, and the expression of this fear, sends a special envoy by air to Hitler, to give the most solemn pledge, that England will see that this promise by Czechoslovakia IS carried IN OTHER words Hitler PRACTICALLY what he out war; why in the name of UPON war, a war which so precisely as she was isolated in and his country's destruction t Such a course simply doesn't cide. So, as stated, unless Hitler there will be no outbreak of If there is, it will be prima facie evidence, that again the German people must be crucified, because they placed supreme control in the hands of a paranoiac. Better Read It I TITLER'S speech reads much present writer at least, it One reason of course, was man, and that unintelligible, on one's nerves. ' Thev werpn t words comme thoughts; but merely SOUNDS; and not quite human sounds, more like the incessant thumping of primitive war drumB in some African jungle, on and on and on, in all seriousness the cumulative effect was rather terrifying. Moreover, the running interpretation was inadequate, and the final summing-up little better. So it is to be hoped those REALLY aaid, will rely on the the radio. They gave two very Just Another 0 N THE other hand that radio broadcast, unintelligible as it. was to most Americans, toohnique, and the seorct of his hold over the German people, (in spite of the general impression to the contrary, essentially a sentimental and submissive people). Liko the late Huoy Long, he is a mnster of mob psychology. Also like Huey, he knows how to disguise half-truths as whole truths, and without literally lieing, construct an entirely false and misleading picture. Finnlly he knows the value of iteration and reiteration, of persistently driving one single theme home, until the mere cumulative effect breaks the resistance of 99 out of 100 of his auditors, and they accept his declaration as final. THE perfidy, unscrupulousnesR and unreliability A dent Benes of Czechoslovakia was this central theme yes terday. Obviously Der Fuehrer was carefully preparing the way, for armed invasion of the Sudeten, on the ground that Bcne's promise to cede it, could not be relied upon. He was also engaged in stirring up hatred against the Czechs, through attacking their President, and thus arousing the German war spirit, and justifying forceful action. Yes, his purpose was plain. On one hand he must arouse his people to fighting pitch, on the basis of national pride, hate and self preservation; on the other hand, he must again throw the "fear of God" into the hearts of his enemies, par ticularly the democracies, by claiming a military might and powers of resistance, which practically all impartial observers aj;ree, clo not exist. BUT we can't agree with those who thought this was cleverly done. To us it was both crude and bungling. The time has passed when the "allies" can be bluffed by big talk. And the effort to make Benes and his young but vigorous democ racy, into "ol mnii debbil" another perfidious Albion was to any informed person, as full of holes, as a Swiss cheese. But of course that is the trouble with Germany, or any other country, under a dictatorship. The people are NOT in formed, and have no way of being informed. Everything they read and everything they hear, paints the same picture. So if the Dictator so wills, off they march, to fight and die for a lie and a cruel delusion I Man About Manhattan By ORUROI nCHKl NEW YORK Perhaps you noticed s young woman In s minors jacaei down on the docks wuen those two natal destroyers wers at anchor In the Hudson recently 1 mean ths UBS.

Dr. .. haa Juat com pleted treating me lor rupture by the injection method. The word did not come direct from you but through a friend of mine whom you aent to Dr for some other treat ment. Dr "i work waa entire ly aattafactory. I worked all the time at my Job In a railroad yard, and although I had to wear my truaa continuously while taking treatment, I am now going without It except at my work where I have to do some heavy lift ing. The doctor tells me Z can re move It entirely In 60 daya. The treatment was practically pain less and saved me an operation which waa advised by another physician. Again I thank you. A long time ago thla column plumped for radical aurgery, thus: "Aa for alleged cures by Injection, special trusses, and similar novel ties, the less said the better. These things are untrustworthy; some of them are positively harmful . . . operation for hemla la about as rlaky and a lot more comfortable than having a wisdom tooth ex tracted and that Is saying a mouth full" If I were not utterly hard-boiled I might blush faintly to record that on August 25. 1925, I described In a newspaper health column which up to then all but endorsed the A.M.A. Itself, a home troatment for hernia In Infants, which, aa phy sicians know, generally heals or be comes cured spontaneously or nat urally If kept properly reduced and supported. Before that I had de scribed In my column exercises which X believed ". . . will unquestionably prevont the occurrence of hernia In many In stances of congenital tendency there to, but will not cure a frank hernia." Enough, I wot. enough to show that I waa fairly orthodox. The ambulant or Injection treat ment of hernia bobbed up In this column first In the summer of 1930 under the diffident title "Is Rad ical Operation the Only Cure for Hernia?" and August 9, 1931. I ad vised those with renla to hold It until I could get something more definite to tell about the ambulant treatment, but meantwhlle If some of a sailor's. Naval officers have spoken to her about wearing a uni form that la too regulation, so now she has altered the sparks on her rating badge to make It non-regula tlon. 'She has a very wonderful scrap book, accumulated over a period of years, which contains thousands of Items and stories about the navy And she has also received letters from the secretary of navy down to second class seamen. 'For awhile she was wearing the rating of a signalman second clsss. but someone advised her they thought she didn't know quite enough to rate second clsss. so she busted herself down to signalman, third. She weara two 'hash' marks (service stripes), each Indicating four years service. Next May 13 she will have had 12 years service and she will add a third stripe. 'She never goes out with men always with her mother, and spends her spare time aa a dancing instructor. ' "The Texaa la her favorite ship. While we were In New York she aboard three of the four daya. She always salutea the flag when she comes aboard and also the of ficer of the deck. On each visit she was equipped with a Texas library card which someone had procured for her. And that's about all. When we left New York she waa down at the battery signaling semaphore. She cer tainly seema fascinated by the navy and especially the signal corps. Oh. yes. she has appeared on the 'Hobby' hour snd aeversl articles about her have been published In magaslnes. Hope thla will be of some uae to you." (Ana.: Dear Jim.

' reputable physician purposed to uae the Injection method by all means go ahead with It. only make certain the doctor la of unquestionable pro fessional standing and not a shady "specialist" or quack who canvasses for customers for "non-surgical" treatment. The ambulant or Injection treat ment of hernia Is aa truly surgical aa the radical operation, and the wise layman will give a wide berth to any charlatan who seeks to catch unwary customera that way. The Injection treatment Is now the method of choice In a considerable proportion of all cases of hernia. To cure hernia by thla method re quires at least as great skill on the part of the physician as the rad ical operation does. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Molt Coffee.

Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should tend letter direct to Dr. William Rrad.r, M. D.. 2(15 El Camlno. Beverly Hills, Calif. there was only one obvious major catch In the project. It would have held up his housing program, per haps for many months. So Straus firmly told Arnold that he was satis fied; that $1,250 a room was the cost limit placed by Congress on his hous ing, and that, in the most recent New York project, the cost had been only 1,000 a room. Arnold Is still con sidering a sortte against the steel and cement Industries, but not with Straus. The oddness of some of Arnold's schemes should not be allowed to obscure his real value. Since taking over the anti-trust division, he has made things hum. A Jnplsh fellow, he loves to astonish everyone, and. being a former mayor of Lammte, Wyoming, he has a plainsman's taste for largeness In his Jokes. The best Joke he can think of, so far as one can tell. Is honest, thorough enforce ment of the .ntl-trust laws for the first time In American history. As that happens to be his Job, the gain Is all the government's, even though some Industries may smile a little llp-sldedly What la more, though his biggest Joke la upsetting to some Industries, he gots along very well wtth Indus trialists. His dealings with the busi nessmen have been extremely sen sible. He has told them. In public and private, "we want to enforce the law. and we're going to try. We also want you to know what the law la, so we're going to work it out with you as much aa we can." Of course, his work as assistant at torney-general, while better support-; ed and more picturesque, is no more efficient than Bob Jackson's was, for i example. He suffers under the same j handicap that Jackson did an en tirely Insufficient staff and appro priation. But, with all the enter taining hullabaloo he is raising, he may manage to get enovrgh more mert and enough more money to make his big joke come true.

PHONE 1 Comment on the Days News by FRANK JENKINS N THESE chronicles, during the 1 paat few daya, the belief haa been Indicated that Ban Pranclaco Is do. Ing a lot of serious thinking about the labor problem. Thla thinking is leading toward t conclusion. The conclusion la thla: "Continuous labor turmoU HASN'T PAID." THAT conclusion. In the humble Judgment of this observer, Is shared by a lot of big shots at the top and a lot of little people down at the bottom. For that reason. It is an Important conclusion. It MIGHT lead to an Intelligent solution of the labor problem. WHAT li an Intelligent solution of tha labor problem? Well, that's a tough question to answer specifically. Let's approach It gradually by asking another one: "What I8NT an Intelligent solution of the labor problem?" Put that way. It la a little easier. A lot of people down here, both big and little, are about ready to agree that what has been done to far Isn't an Intelligent solution. ABOUT all that has been done so far la to FIGHT, and It la be coming more clearly apparent every day that continual fighting between employera and employees Isn't doing San Francisco any good. It la result ing In fewer Jobs for those who get wages and less business for those who pay wages. Realization of thla tact la respons ible for the feeling of apprehension that can be sensed by any reasonably competent observer who spends a few days In this city. THERE are still extremists in both camps. Up at the top, for example, there are a few unreconstructed imperial Iste who believe that the way to end the department store strike is to call in the police or. If necessary, the militia drive the pickets away from the doora and chivvy them uncere moniously out of the city. But men of this sort are scarce, and when their opinions are ad vanced In . gathering of business leaders they fall flat and are follow ed by disapproving silence. A T THE other extreme there are tl firebrands who preach that the thing to do Is to harry business and keep on harrying it until It breaks down and then TAKE IT OVER. But among the bulk of those who work this Idea doesn't strike a responsive chord. What the average receiver of a pay check to whom this writer haa talked wants la more peace, ateadler employ ment and more confidence In the future of hie Job. He wants to feel fairly aura at night that he won't lie laid off the next day because his employer hasn't business enotigh to keep htm on. ERE Is about whst will happen SOMEDAY: Fair, decent and Intelligent leaders of business will get together with rair, decent and Intelligent leaders of labor snd settle their problems on a sound workable basis, each display ing tolerance for the viewpoint of the other. Thla writer, after talking to every body he osn find to talk to, has an optomlstlc notion that this time Isn't as far off as It might be. OAIN It la worth mentioning that Southern Oregon, where labor troubles have been practically non existent. Is EXTREMELY fortunste. To realise how fortunate we have been, one must come down to this great city, where labor troubles are beglnnnlg to result In acute fear of what la going to happen In the fu ture, and listen to the talk he heers in every group he get Into. PRESIDENT TOLD PEACE SOLELY IN (Continued Ctisui P One ) sure of the Sudeten Oermana in creased for maintaining their culture and for Incoming closely a.oclsted with Germany. Tspite the loyal attitude of the Sudeten German party and its lead- 6TH AND FIR era. ths points st Issue between them snd the Czechs became ever more pronounced. Prague Regime Hit. "Prom day to day It became more clearly evident that the government In Prague was not willing to grant most of the elementary rights of the Sudenten Germans. "On the contrary It attempted to bring about Czechirjitton of Suden tenland with ever more forceful methods. "It waa inevitable that this pro cedure led to ever greater and more serious tension. "The German government at first in nowise interfered with this de velopment snd maintained Its calm restraint even when In May of this year the Czechoslovak government proceeded to mobilize ita army on the pretext, manufactured of pure doth, that German troops had been concentrated. "The fact Germany at that time refrained from taking military counter-measures has merely served, how ever, to- strengthen the lntranslge ance of the government in Prague. "The progress of negotiations by the Sudenten German party with the government for a peaceful solution clearly showed this. "These negotiations brought def inite proof the Czechoslovak gov ernment had no Idea of tackling the Sudeten German problem really from Its very foundation and to bring It to a Just solution. "As a consequence, conditions In the Czechoslovak state, as is gener ally known, have become entirely insufferable during the last weeks. . Slide tens Miserable. "Political persecution and economic suppression have plunged the Sude ten Germans into unspeakable mis ery. "To characterize these conditions it Is sufficient to refer to the following: !'At this moment we count 214.000 Sudeten German fugitives who had to leave their house and hearth in their ancestral homeland and who brought themselves Into safety across the German border because they saw therein the only and last possibility for evading the revolting Czech re gime of force and bloodiest terror. . "Countless dead, thousands of In jured, tens of thousands of persons arrested and imprisoned, desolated villages are the accusing witnesses before the world opinion of an out break of hostilities carried out for a long time by the Prague government which you In your telegram rightly fear. "Entirely aside from the German economic life In the Sudeten German territory for 20 years systematically destroyed by the Czech government, which already shows all the signs of ruin, which you antlcpate as the result of an outbreak of war, these are the facts which compelled me In my Nurnberg Bpeech of September 13 to state before the whole world that the deprivation of right of tho three and one-half millions of Ger mans In Czechoslovakia must be stopped and that these people. If they of themselves cannot find Jus tice and help, must recelvo both from the German relch. ffote to British. "However, to. make a last attempt to reach the goal in a peaceful way, I made concrete proposals for the solution of the problem In a memo randum delivered on September 23 to the British premier, which, In the meantime has been made public. "Since the Czechoslovaks govern ment had previously declared Itself already to be In agreement with the British and French governments that the Sudeten Gej-ma- settlement area would be separated from the Czeeho slovaklan atate ann Joined to the German relch. the proposals of the German memorandum contemplate nothing else than to bring about a prompt and equitable fulfillment of ihat Czcchos.ovakian promise. Iirk No Patience. "It Is my conviction that you, Mr. 1 President, when you realize the whole ! development of the Sudeten German problem from Its Inception to the prpsent day, wlh recognize that the German government has truly not been lacking either in patience or a sincere desire for a peaceful under standing. It la not Germanv who is to blnms for the fact that there Is any Sudeten German problem at all. and that the present unjustifi able circumstances hsv. arisen from It. "The terrible fate of the people affected by the problem no longer admits of a further postponement of Its solution. The pcwtbllltie of arriving at a jwst settlement oy sgreement are therefore exhausted with the oropcwals of the German memorandum. It does not rest with the German government, but with the Czechoslovaklan government slone. to decide, whether it wants peactor war."
