Hamlet (NC) Nswi Utsacnger) MEDFO The Only Way aESSRS. Alsop and Kintner, in our "column-left," have been writing soma extremely interesting dope of late, on the political situation in Pennsylvania. Particular emphasis has been placed upon the abysmal stupidity of the Republican machine in that commonwealth. The Pennsylvania Democrat were in a bad way, fighting among themselves, and suspected not only of irregularities but outright corruption, everything in fact, nicely arranged for the Repub licans to coast into office, by merely keeping their respective mouths shut and letting nature take its course. But the Blind and dumb Big Business leadership of the Pennsylvania Q. 0. P. lacked the rudimentary sense to tske advantage of such a set-up. Instead of coasting into power on an anti-administration tidal wave, they proceeded to open up all their big guns against the fundamental principles of the New Deal, relief, reform and social security, With the result that thanks to their own blindness and reactionary stupidity, it's about a 10 to 8 bet that the Demo crats will be returned to power by a comfortable majority. TpHIS comment is particularly interesting to us, for it is a theme, that has been frequently sounded in. this Column, during the past few months, the amazing inability of Republi can leadership, to see that since 3932 a new era has dawned, and whether they like it or DON'T like it, they are living in a new world. In following such leadership as former President Hoover represents for example, they are not only trying to do the im possible, sweep back the tides of the ocean, with a broom, but they are riding to certain political disaster. , It has always been a mystery to this department, and still is, why so few Republican leaders, could see this. It seemed so obvious, so elemental. As we have previously stated, Congressman Bruce Barton of New Tork, well known advertising man, was one of the few who DID see it, and it is surprising that his enlightened stand has not received the strong party, that it deserves. Our leadership aa a whole particularly in the Kast, is still in the hands of the modern Mark the rank and file, that given a follow leaders like Barton, are FORTUNATELY in Oregon, with genuine progressives like nrirrnc nnJ Untmnn I..Jin . U T5 -. . U 1 ; I. . .1 ia no chance of the Pennsylvania bungle and muddle being repeated here. They stand with Republicans like Barton, who refuse to blindly oppose the fundamental purposes of the Now Deal, but promise to attain generally speaking the same de sirable objectives, in a MORE ECONOMICAL, more business like, and therefore more desirable and satisfactory way 1 That is precisely where this stood. It is, aa we see it, aa far aa Republican success is con cerned, the "ONLY -WAY!" The Jewish Problem A WELL known Medford citizen was discussing and cuss ing Hitler the other day and waxing particularly elo quent over Der Fuehrer's cruel and shameful treatment of the German Jews. "It only shows" he declared, "the man isn't normal, he's a paranoiac and a aaddist. Not only for the sake of the world but his own country he should be kept in a padded cell under lock and key. Now he is after the Jews in Austria, and next will be hounding them out of Czechoslovakia, it'a terrible, ghastly, incredible, " then as a sudden after-thought : "But I hope they don't come over HERRI" ' I 'HAT slip of the tongue, we thought, was very revealing, and characteristic of the ancient and baffling Jewish problem. It ia a frightful thing for Hitler to dislike the Jews and try to get rid of them, and yet acrape a trifle beneath the surface of aome of his critics, and less affection, for the Jews either. Why? . .... W know the problem goes far back through the agea, but even so, we have never been able matter have the slightest sympathy for it. The most common explanation is, the prejudice is not so much racial aa aoonomic. The Jew is a smarter trader thsn any other race, and therefore oontinually gels the better of his competitor. So unless kept down, in SOMKway, Jews gain COMPLETE financial and economic, and even political control. Henry Ford has this idea, and one doesn't have to go very far back in history to find the prejudice existing in a pretty acute form, where no such economic factor played a part, or any important part, whatever. A 'he feeling seema so universal. Take the Iste Arthur Balfour's effort to find a sanctuary for the Jews in Palestine for example. The somewhat infragrant Arabs -seriously complsin, and are willing to fight and die, for the priv ilege of living alone. Two of the Grand Mufti's demands from Great Britain are: (1) Immediate cessation of all Jewish immi gration j (2) abandonment of tlje idea of a national Jewish home; (3) absolute prohibition of any further sale of land to the Jews. And yet if they are not to return to their ancient home where are they to got We fear the general reaction in any section of the Anglo-Saxon world at least would be, gcneislly that of our anti-llitler friend, " NOT HERE!" IT is certainly a grave problem, distressing and tragic, and in a world that calls itself civilized and enlightened some humane and satisfactory solution should be possible, and yet what is it J An internstinnal commission has been formed to find a way out, but at laat report had reached pretty much of an impasse. And, as we view it, there is no real excuse for such a situa tion; no more justification for racial hatred and persecution man ior religious, vt e neve outgrown we latter, i.sn t it ahout .-..,..,. time we discarded the former t endorsement of the Republican own explanation is the party Hannas and Boss Plattes, while chance would enthusiastically generally inarticulate. paper stands snd has always they show no tolorsnce, much to understand it, or for that undoubtedly many share it.

Wheat germ does not keep long- turns rancid on standing many weeks and tht merchants art reluctant to handle It. Hern and there a mill supplies directly to the customer a one or two- pound package of wheat germ meal by mall for per haps four bits. The trurulln-IIke action of vitamin B com p 1 e x on carbohydrate metabolism (oxidation and utilization of starches and sug ars) is as Important In health as It Is In cases of diabetes. It enables the sufferer with diabetes to get along comfortably with less Insulin than would he necessary to keep the blood sugar at a fairly low level and the urine sugar free If Insufficient vita min B complex were Included In the dally diet. Likewise vitamin B com plex (not pure vlU-B. the synthetic i thiamin, alone) keeps the carbohy drate metabolism of the Individual who has no diabetes on a higher level and so makes the Individual more efficient, more alive, more fit. more capable of enjoying life. Wheat bran contains more calcium, phosphorus and Iron thsn wheat germ does, but the vitamin B com plex Is mainly In the germ parts although wheat bran Is quite rich In vitamin B complex and Is, In my opinion, wholesome and fairly diges tible for most persons. Except cer tain Invalids who should be guided by their physicians' advice, any one may urn wheat bran in his dtet as much as he likes, with only advan tage to health. In my opinion. Vitamin B complex aids the ab sorption of Iron. Liver and yeast or concentrates made from these vita min B complex rich substances are now much used in the treatment of simple anemia as well as pernicious anemfa. Optimal or liberal daily Intake of vitamin B complex keeps the appe tite, digestion and Intestinal function normal. Mirny medical authorities now regard vitamin B complex aa valuable not only In the prevention but alno In the cure of septic (gastric or duodenal) nicer and colon de Man About Manhattan By OKORGE TUCKER NEW YORK.

A lew minutes later he changed hie mind. He yelled, "Hey. driver, let me off at the McAlpln. I have to see Ernest. Erneat Is my favorite barber, and I need a hair trim. I ll tell you what. You let m oft at the McAlpln and then you take my bag on over to tha Shelton and check It for me. Iave the check In my name at the desk." This was absolutely okay with the driver, and after Mr. A. wrote down his nsme and gave, him sufficient money to cover the fare and the bag Rage check, the cabby drove swsy. Meanwhile something prompted Mr. A. to make a not of the cab's licence number. Time passed. It became dark. Soon the night wore away, and about 0 o'clock next morning your ai!le ccr rcupondrnt entered the Shelton and went up to Mr. A.'a room to have a cup of coffee with him.

Persons who have been subject to constipa tion for a long period find that a daily ration of vitamin B complex in one form or another to supplement the regular diet enables them to break the laxative habit. Extreme deprivation of vitamin B complex over a prolonged period Is necessary to produce outspoken beri beri or pellagra. Unfortunately many physicians have not yet learned to recognize or suspect the vague symp toms or complaints In cases of mild deprivation of vitamin B complex. Not that the vitamin Intake Is the whole story,, for a "well balanced" diet the proper proportions of pro tein, fat and carbohydrate la as important as ever. But the dally Vitamin Intake largely determines whether the Individual's nutrition and general health shall be poor, passable or optimal.

But this cabby. Ho told a very good story, and proved It. He was French snd spoke English only brok enly. He had misunderstood Mr. A. and checked the bag Into another hotel.

There are 31.000 taxi cabs in New York. Without that I number the hunt might have been a difficult one. Detectives Raihl and Fox believe they could have located tht bag anyway.

At i all events, keep your chin up and put j In a hurry call for the police pre- : ferably Detectives Ralhl and Fox. If results are possible, they'll get them for you.

' ' 3' Orant Tsss ructfir Highaa.i Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS II ERE In Oregon we've trlked a lot about California's "$30 every Thursday" scheme and have shivered a little In our boots at Its possibilities for California Is southern Oregon's bent customer, and wt won't want to see our best customer go broke. fVN the Oregon ballot in November there will be a measure levying a "transactions" tax of two per cent to provide a. fund to pay $100 per month to citizens over 65 who have resided continuously In the state for seven years. It Is the Townaend plan (reduced to $100 a month) applied to Oregon, Wed better give Its possibilities some thought, along with California's "ham and eggs" project. W HAT Is a transactions tax? certainty, but presumably It Is a tax on EVERY TRANSACTION of every kind whatsoever. Such a tax would run Into a lot of money. TOR example: When a sheep man buys a ewe, there would be a tax of two per cent on the transaction. There would be a similar tax when, he bought feed for the ewe, when he had her sheared, when he sold the wool to the buyer, when the buyer sold the wool to the woolen mill, when the mill sold the cloth to the clothing manufacturer, when the clothing manufacturer sold to the Jobber, when the Jobber sold to the retailer, and when the retailer sold to the customer. Every time any article changes hands, there would be a tax of two per cent. BVIOUfibY such pyramiding of x' the tax would add a lot of cost to everything that Oregon has to sell. Since the transactions tax would be operative In Oregon only, it would mean that Oregon products could not be sold profitably in competition with the products of other states having no transactions tax. That, In Its turn, would mean that Oregon's Industries would have to close down, for Industry can not op erate unless It can find a profitable market for Its products. If Oregon's industries had to close down, thousands would be out of Jobs and unable to pay the tax. IF you underatand this bill fully. and know what it means, and still want It, you will vote for It, of course. But DON'T vote for It unless you are thoroughly familiar with Its ' probable results and are wholly wilt- j ing to accept them On the Radio Chains STATIONS Where to Find Them on the nial KEX, Portland.
