place, but the time has come,
senators and congressmen, holding their jobs if they possibly can,
for it is a grand life, no question about your weekly pay check;
plenty of time to relax and grow fat, with the secretary doing the
dirty work; and a decided stimulus to the ego, at a time when in
private life such stimulus is usually slowly but surely declining
to the vanishing point.
So just remember THAT, the next time Congressman Sorghum
asks for your vote. If you were in his shoes, you would probably
do a great many rather undignified things also, to keep from
getting thrown out from such a PLEASANT berth into the cold,
dreary world, at his time of life.
And as luck would have it this last day (Saturday at that!)
proved to be one of the most exciting of them all, in fact your
correspondent was as thrilled and enthralled as if he had been able
to see Oregon, with Medfords' own Bob Smith leading, shut out
the California Bears, and having met the pick of the coast, stand
there in the clear October sunshine without a defcatl
Well perhaps that's putting it a bit strong, but ALMOST.
Yes it was a thrilling day, as far as action and genuine con
tention are concerned, several times one felt that a good old
fashioned list fight was just around the corner, and far nearer
than prosperity has been for a very long time. And oddly enough
one of America's greatest heroes (or at least an ex-hero) and a
very peacefully inclined gentleman was the cause of it all, none
other than our beloved Lone Eagle, Colonel Lindbergh. His radio
speech of the night before, which we failed to get, was the
spark that set off the fireworks.
Sometime ago we remarked there was no pro-Hitler sentiment
in the congress. Well that's correct, at least none that appears
even as a shadow on the surface. But we neglected to state there
was and IS rather definitely a STRONG ANTI-ALLY SENTIMENT
particularly a strong under-current of hostility toward the
British.
And this was brought into sharp relief this afternoon, by
Senators Lundeen, Downey. Reynolds, and to a lesser degree by
Senator Bennett Clark, all but one Reynolds violently op
posed to repeal of the Arms Embargo.
Yes, they don't like Johnny Bull, not a little bit. And while
every now and then they disclaim it, it is all too evident, it
stands out time after time in their arguments. And their argu
ments are weakened seriously by it, hate and prejudice weaken
ANY argument.
This also goes for the leader of the other side, Pittman of
Nevada. There was no excuse for him to imply that Lindbergh
in saying what he did say, was disloyal to his country, and in
effect giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Of course the senior
senator of Nevada characteristically tried to cover up the viru
lence and hostility of his attack, by repeatedly referring to Lind
bergh's high character and his splendid exploits in the air, etc.,
etc., but this "willing to wound but afraid to strike" technique
fooled no one.
As spokesman for the government, Pittman was guilty of
hitting below the belt, and in our opinion, eventually both he
and the administration will suffer for it!
Not that we agree with what Lindbergh said. Trying to
distinguish between offensive and defensive arms, simply can't
be done. And we fail to sec why a PORTION OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE, like Canada, hasn't the right to join in the defense of
the mother country, if it so wishes, whether it is a part of the
western hemisphere or isn't.
But we also feel, that no fair-minded person, knowing anything
about Lindbergh, his background or his character, would for a
moment question his genuine devotion to this country, and its vital
interests, In the present crisis or any other. We don't know how
Pittman's remarks may read when they reach the coast, but as
they were delivered hero in Washington, with the unquestioned
backing of the government, they amounted in substance, to
nothing less than an indictment of disloyalty. We don't blame the
isolationist senators for getting aroused by it, and judging by all
reports it has also aroused tremendous public sympathy for the
solo flier HERE.
The bus trip back from Fredericksburg to Washington in the
crystal clear October evening, incidentally, was something one
can't soon forget. The highway is through almost unbroken
second-growth forest, and the trees are now like a succession of
corsage bouquets, bronzes and golds, coppers and crimsons,
which the slanting rays of the setting sun brought into sensational
relief.
But our trip over those Civil War battlefields cleared up one
question mark concerning Virginia. It isn't ALL uncleared forest
and red clay cuts, wo passed many large dairy farms on the
Chancellorsvillc turnpike; if they are half as prosperous as they
LOOK there can be no farm problem in that particular district
at least. And in the distance we could see the Blue Ridge moun
tainsthey are almost as blue as Crater Lake, where they say
the soil is even more fertile and believe it or not the Virginia
apple orchardists are perpetually in the black. (If this last is
questioned, we admit we can only call in the moron guide to
support it.)
In spite of all the noise and fury today, and the obvious fact
that the administration forces would like to stop the debate if
they could which they can't, there is no reason to modify our
prediction of the isolationists' decisive defeat as far as the repeal
of the arms embargo is concerned. r, v. r.

Save Life by Amending Ihe Law
To the Editor:
Some amendments to our driv
ing laws are overdue. Tho an
nual toll in death and suffering
is appalling. Hut we have
watched the chain of tragedy so
long without doing anything
(anything effective) about it.
that we are growing callous,
almost indifferent. As a pre
ventive. the punishment of of
fenders is not effective Death
Just thumbs another car and
rides merrily on.
This writer would suggest two
changes In the driving law As
that law now stands, those who
are 70 and over must every two
years, lake a driving test, also
a health test, and a pretty stifl
examination on the driving law.
But a young man, say of 20,
takes his test and examination,
receives his first operator's li
cense, and then Is turned loose
on the streets for the next 50
years, freed from any further
tests of his knowledge or prac
tice. Practically a life certifi
cate to drive. It seems to be
taken for granted that he will
always keep posted on the law,
and will remain Just as careful
as he seemed to be the day he
received that license.
Why this distinction between
those over 70 and those under
70? During the last two years
Jackson county has had many
14. Hate to leave this fascinating
etc., etc., etc. Don't blame these
traffic tragedies. How many of
them were caused by the old
age of the drivers? If there
was even one such case it did
not come to my attention. Old
age naturally becomes cautious
and conservative in all lines.
His driving is no exception
Reckless driving is almost in
variably done by the young or
middle-aged.
We are raising no objection
to the demands made upon us
old people, but insist that if
traffic accidents are to be re
duced, youth and middle-age
must also pass the same rigid
tests, if not every two years, at
least every five years.
Of course, we are fully aware
of the difficulty of getting the
driving law so amended, for
doubtless 1)0 per cent, or more,
of the drivers are under 70 and
are not likely to demand such
tests for themselves. And we
suppose that legislature Is not
yet born who, without a strong
popular demand, would Impose
exacting tests upon themselves
and their constituents. Just for
the love of the dear public and
to reduce the tragedies of the
road.
My allotted space is already
used, so must postpone my sec
ond proposed amendment to
some later date.

LAYMAN VERSUS HEALTH AUTHORITY
A northern reader sends a
clipping of an item concerning
undulant fever in South Dakota,
and says: "As a layman I am
inclined to be
lieve that un
dulant fever is
contract cd
thru handling
livestock car
casses that
have the
Bang's disease
organism."
The newspa
per clip ping
mentions that
cases of undu
lant fever have
been reported in two counties,,
and quotes a state health de
partment superintendent as as
serting that:
"The fever is contracted by
humans through unpasteurized
milk from Bangs disease infect
ed cattle. It is often confused
with typhoid fever. The use of
pasteurized milk will eliminate
any danger of contracting the
disease."
The chances are ten to one,
I should say, that the newspaper
reporter misunderstood just
what the health officer said.
Surely no competent or respon
sible health authority today
would entertain the naive notion
that using par-boiled (pasturized
heated to 145 degrees F. for
20 to 30 minutes) milk elim
inates any danger" of contract
ing undulant fever. Such heat
ing of the milk would destroy
any germs of the disease which
might be present in the milk,
but such knowledge of the dis
ease as we have at present does
not warrant the assumption that
infection occurs as a rule, if at
all, through drinking unpasteur
ized or unboiled milk from goat
or cow that has Bangs disease.
The weight of evidence rather
favors the view the correspond
ent expresses, namely, that un
dulant fever is conveyed mainly
through contact with cattle,
swine, goats or through handling
their carcasses and hides.
It is fairly well established
that the disease known as Bangs
disease (contagious abortion) in
animals is identical with readily
transmutable into tho disease
known as undulant fever in
man.
-Contagious abortion (Bangs
disease) is widespread in cattle,
swine, and goats. The Brucella
organism, the specific germ of
the disease, may be given off in
the milk from the infected ani
mal. Par-boiling (pasteurizing)
or boiling for one minute de
stroys any such germs in milk.

Washington, Oct. 19. The
Greek drama was founded on
the assumption that sins of pride
soon brought their own reward.
That the same truth applies to
American politics is now being
disagreeably proved to the new
dealers, by the plight of the na
tional labor relations board.
The sin of pride, in this par
ticular instance, was the new
dealers' assumption that it was
no longer necessary to conciliate
business opinion. The Wagner
labor relations act was passed in
the hottest period of new deal
business conflict, and when the
battle was going all the new
deal's way. In staffing the board,
the president and his aides al
most entirely omitted consulta
tion with the business element.
And, in choosing the subordinate
I personnel, the new dealers went
I further, giving preponderance to
j the wishes of the labor faction
for whom they felt most sympa
thetic the leaders of the then
emergent C. I. O.

goats should not be blamed for
sporadic or occasional cases of
undulant fever, unless the germs
are found in the milk, or recent
abortions have occurred in the
herd from which the milk
comes, or positive reaction to
inoculation of guinea pigs with
centrifu'-jalizcd specimens of the
milk are obtained.
Although contagious abortion
(Bangs disease Brucellosis) is a
veneral infection in cattle, there
is evidence that the infection
may be conveyed directly thru
cut or abrasion of the skin of
a person handling infected cat
tle, carcasses or hides. Mos
quitoes may carry the infection
from animal to man. Other
secretions than the milk of the
infected animal may contain the
organism.
Health authorities who give
the impression that pasteurizing
milk "eliminates any danger of
contracting undulant fever" are
dangerous guardians to entrust
with the public health.

Just whero the board will end. no
one can foretell. Lelserson, who had
made an excellent reputation as me
diator of railway labor problems, was

grimly told the president that It
would block the reappointment to

cynically discussing the wisdom of
conducting a sort of modified red

named as the director of NLRB per
sonnel. Other NLRB groups seek to :aake
light of these changes, but the total
Impression remains forceful. All the
evidence points to the conclusion
that Lelserson has been 6haklng up
the board, with a strong presidential
authorization to support him.
Lelserson has also imported a new
legal theory, on the basis of which
he has already thrice dissented from
the opinions of his colleagues, Chair
man J. Warren Madd'n and Edwin
Smith. And thsre Is dlscernable a
broad shift In NX MB direction
Whether the shift Is attributable
to Leiserson alone, or to a sharp
presidential lecture to the other
board members. It matters little. In
any case. It Is this shift of direction
which has got under. the C. I. O. skin
and caused the C. I. O. to call the
board an "enemy of labor."
Meanwhile, enough of the board's
old self remains to make it unlikely
that the A. P. of L. will forget and
forgive. Chairman Madden Is a stand
ofllsh, highly independent man. who
la not exactly beloved, but the A. P
of L.'a real hatred Is reserved for
Edwin Smith, who Is accused of
being as pro-C. I. O. as Donald Wake
field Smith, and for a group of In
fluential secondary offtctUs. Among
these. Nathan Witt, secretary of the
board. Is preeminent. A dark, soft
spoken lawyer, he Is far enough
to the left to have been an active
opponent of Judge Ferdinand Pe
cora and SEC Commissioner Jerome
Frank, when they sought to have the
Lawyers guild condemn Communist
as well as Fascist dictatorship.
Besides Its troubles with the C. I. O.
and A. P. of L.. 'he board 1b also
being investigated by a long array
of eager congressional committees,
and Is under constant attack from
business men and the press. Alto
gether, the NLHB's lot Is not a happy
one. and much of its unhappiness
might have been avoided by more
caution at the outset.

rjEBATE over the neutrality
problems (who are we neu
tral against, anyway?), is now in
the stage where any person of
prominence who opposes repeal
of the embargo is accused of
being pro-Hitler. Senators who
insist on retaining the embargo
on lethal weapons are being dis
missed with a paragraph when
they deliver their arguments and
some of the hottest remarks by
them are buried in the Congres
sional Record.
Father Coughlin has been cut
off the air; Colonel Lindbergh
is attacked; General Smedley
Butler (everything he said was
quoted a few years ago), is ig
nored when he warns against
selling munitions, etc. But the
air waves are open to the advo
cates of repeal, Elliott Roosevelt,
Al Smith, ct al.
I INEXPLAINED Is why the prcsl
dent, state department and sen
ators who praised the embargo act
up to a few moiUha ago are now
denouncing It. Pittman's speeches .n
1035 and 1937 were as ardent for
embargo tlu-n as his arguments now
are for repealing It. Anti-nazl films
have suddenly appeared In local
theaters. Bands are playing some
thing which may be called either
"America" or "Ood Save the King."
And here Is something peculiar:
Senate galleries are filled during the
debate. They are the usual type of
visitors from all over the country.
They applaud the speeches of antt
repeals. in violation of all the "for
repeal" polls published In the papers.
Perhaps the so-called Isolationists
moke the greater emotional appeals.
Only the future can tell whether
the repealers or the antl-repealers
are advocating the best way to keep
this country out of war. However,
the repealers will win. Make a note
of that. The administration has the
votes to win when the roll Is called.

Anticipating sensations, and rarely

that recent German air and sub

well as the somewhat fiercer
German activity on the western

power and thus soften the Brit
