A rural resident reports he allnned out last Sunday night, when his dog barked, and found a Caucasian in his woodpile. An upstate scribe, who is an adept at fearing, fears when the Dies committee gets through "America will not be a refuge for the persecuted of Europe." Now and again, the "persecuted" enact the role of persecutors, and earnestly endeavor to make America suffer more than they did at horn.

I Medford That Third Term Bogey Again IJ TILLIAM GIBBS McADOO, upon leaving Washington, de- clares the consensus of Roosevelt will be the nominee We trust William G. smiled conditions in the national capitol have changed radically since October 1st, the consensus of opinion in Washington is the President will NOT run for a T"H1S was the low-down In A least. President Roosevelt, doesn't WANT a third term, but the last thing he intends to do is publicly announce the fact, for by so doing his control over the situation would immediately be lost. So outwardly he Is not committing himself. But everyone "In the know" agrees or six weeks ago did agree that the President doesn't wish to run again unless conditions compel him to. And one of the prime conditions that would compel him to, would be the danger that Vice President Garner or some other ultra conservative candidate would get the nomination if he F. D. R.) didnt'. In fact again according to the grapevine, every time the supporters of the Vice President, became vocal regarding their candidate, some member of the official White House family hops up to broadcast the fact that the President will be compelled to run for a third term again whether he wishes to or not. His party will demand It. This is a sort of antidote for any poison the Garner forces might plant. i OF course this Is all grape vine dope, it may be true, or it may not be. But Mr. McAdoo's statement Immediately fol lowing another announcement that the Vice President will go after the Democratic nomination whether the President docs or doesn't, certainly tends to support it. Morover our experience has been, that where grape vine reports are as generally accepted in Washington newspaper circles, as this one was, its essential truth, sooner or later is established. ALL of which adds up to this. President Roosevelt really doesn't want to run again, and if a candidate acceptable to him can be nominated he won't. But rather than see a candidate like Garner, who he cor rectly or incorrectly believes would undo most of what he has accomplished in the direction of social and economic reforms, secure the place the President would make the "sacrifice." As time goes on, it will be interesting to see how this press grape vine diagnosis of the situation works out. Stalin 's W HETHER Hitler and Stalin are really brothers-in-arms (under the skin) or not, their tactics are certainly the same. "Power politics" is the generally accepted term for it. Which In plain English means rattling the sabre but not drawing it; getting what you want by threatening war, but never waging it. STALIN'S technique in getting what he wanted along the shores of the Baltic has been identical with Hitler's, in getting what he wanted in the Rhlneland, Austria and Czecho slovakia. Not a shot has been fired but Stalin was careful to convince his victims, that If they didn't give in, plenty of shots would be. So they surrendered. True Stalin hasn't actually taken possession of these Baltic republics. But as far ns Esthonla, Latvia, and Lithuania are concerned, he might as well have done so, with his own guns, troops and naval ships occupying the strategic points, he can take possession whenever he wishes. k ND as Poland proved to be the first stumbling block In Hitler's "nibbling conquest," so Finland is the first Baltic country, to resist the triumphal march of the Soviet Republic. Whether the Scandinavian countries have promised to aid Finland, as England and France promised to aid Poland, is uncertain. But if Foreign Minister Erkko is really as calm and undisturbed as his public pronouncements indicate, then either such assistance has been pledged, or Finland has good reason to believe, that Stalin, unlike Hitler, won't overstep himself. Thnt Is, taking a leaf from Der Fuehrer's sad experience, Stalin, they are certain, will not go so far in his bluff that he can't, without losing too much face, withdraw from it. Finland is therefore reasonably confident that the legions of the "hammer and sickle," now that Stalin's bluff has been called, will not march. F this Is the correct Interpretation, and there is reason to so 1 believe, then It merely demonstrates once more that Stalin, while no better than Hitler on moral grounds, and on a par with him In ruthless tactics, Is vastly superior when It comes to strategy. England and France, particularly the former, pretend to be greatly mystified by Soviet Russia's position in the present European picture But we doubt if there is anything more mysterious than the!' Belgium's hasty dash to The fact that Stalin is doing what every European country is TRYING to do, namely advance its own national self-interest, quite regardless of the self-interest of any other power. Only to date, Stalin appears to be doing rather the better Job of itl II WITH BEARS Corvallis, Nov. 14.

IODINE AND THE RHEUMATIZ Some of the reports readers send in give considerable food for thought. Here is one by a man 63 years of age who is a professional photographer: Have had cysts coming upon me, IS years ago one on fore head big as a cherry which doctoi opener and scraped and sewed up. Later had others from time to time elbow, knee, hand and final ly one on my wrist, then ankles swelled up, shoulders were lame and sore so I could not put on a coat without help. It felt as though I had in flammation in all my joints. Could not push with my arms or hands, had to walk very slowly. Six years ago I had rheuma tism all over, hands half closed, some fingers crooked, right arm could not be straightened to more than 55 degrees. Then I read your article on Iodin Ration, last May. Started taking it . . . have not needed any aspirins since that date. My hands are now like new, no pains in my shoulders, and can straighten my right arm nearly all the way. The cysts on my elbows and ankles are nearly all gone, just disappear. It is like a miracle. (B. M. R.) All I know is that the iodine can do no harm In any ca3e. Whether it really brought about the remarkable improvement In Mr. R's condition is conjectural. I am glad to send the mono graph giving instructions for taking the Iodin Ration to any correspondent who asks for it and incloses a stamped envelope bearing his address. A clipping of this item Is not a request. Nearly everybody needs a wee bit of Iodine in one form or an other, especially people living In regions where the natural Iodine content of the soil and food grown from the soil is deficient. School children who mope and day dream, at a time in life when they should be cheerful, happy and eager for play and fun, need the Iodin Ration, whether they have any sign of goitre or not. Mature adults who feel stale, unrefreshed by ordinary rests or vacations, inclined to melan choly or "the blues," need an Iodin Ration. Young adults whose hair is becoming prematurely gray need an Iodin Ration plus an opti mal daily intaka of vitamin B complex, which they may get by eating three or four ounces of wheat germ daily, or by supple The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Ino. Washington, Nov. 14. A new interpretation of King Leopold Hague to confer with Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands gives a certain order to the crazy crescendo of European events. This meeting between the ardent young king and the shrewd, seasoned old queen os tensibly produced only a joint offer to mediate between the warring powers. Actually, if the new interpreta tion u to be accepted, the media tlon offer was an afterthought. Tha meeting between King Leopold and Queen Wllhelmlna had a larger pur- I pose, to discuss a common front against German aggression. By the strange Jargon of dictatorship dl- , plomacy, discussions of a common front against agprcsslon In them selves constitute aggressive or "en- ' circling" acta. And so the two aov- , erelgna made their iffer to medi ate aa a sort of formal disguise for their real preoccupation.

Plain wheat, cracked or ground at home, is the best nat ural food source of vitamin B complex. There is a factor in the vita min B-complex called "anti gray hair factor," because it seems to prevent the hair of laboratory animals from turning gray. I have no knowledge of the effect of this factor on the condition in man, but I recom mend it because it can do only good to every one up to the daily intake of vitamin B-complex.

Such la the new Interpretation, which the highest authorities here found half on fact, half on In formed surmise. If it is correct, the conference of the Dutch queen and the Belgian king had one of two preludes. The Germans simultaneously ask ed the Dutch If they would open their territory for the establishment of air and other bases for an at tack on England, and the Belgians If they would atay neutral In case the Dutch should resist such a re quest. Or King Leopold and Queen Wllhelmlna received credible ad vance Indications that these omin ous questions would soon be ad dressed to them. These last days have been a period of German threat In alt di rections. Sound sources state that, while gMturlnn menacingly toward th Netherlands and Belgium In the west, the Germans have also moved In the east, asking Hungary if she would give free passage to German troops for an attack on Rumania. As it la unlikely that the Germans j You may meet thi grand, mellow whiskey at the club next Saturday...

The I sklea may have cleared slightly, or darkened from horizon to horizon when this la printed, but. at the present writing, the wisest opinion here Is that an onslaught agalnat the low countrlea la much better than an even bet. According to the same aourcea, the meeting between King Leopold and Queen Wllmelmlna aucceeded In its purpose. Through thia fall, the Belgians have been continuously faced with a cruel choice. The Oer man desire to use the Netherlands aa a Jumplng-off place for Inten slve attacks on England has long been obvious. By simple geography, effective help for the Netherlands must come through Belgium. Opening her fron tiers to the Allied armies means that Belgium must become a bel ligerent. Thus, the Belgians' choice has been between going to war. or running the risk to her national Integrity Inherent In German occu pation or her neighbor. It Is believed that King Leopold made the rhoice during his talk with the Dutch queen. Supposing this theory right, the Dutch will offer what resistance they may and the Belgians will support them. If and when the time tragically comes. It must have been a tense and difficult talk. In the oddly stuffy. Victorian aettlng of Dutch official decor, between the youthful Idealist who used to hope for a thorough reconstruction of the world economy, and the rather dumpy, hard-headed old realist whose lifelong policy has been cautiously to deal with the facta as they were. If the worst fears come true of this Ill-assorted but somehow stirring pair, the war Is likely to spread far beyond the boundarlea of their two small coun tries. Both the Netherlands and Bel glum are great colonial powers, and, while Belgium's African possessions would only be tempting prizes for a victorious Germany, the Netherlands East Indies may become the object of an Immediate Japanese grab. The temptation to Japan Is Increasing, since oil In these Ill-defended Dutch colonies, and Japan's oil supply la endangered or diminishing In nu merous ways. Meanwhile, the President's de nunciation of the Japanese-American commercial treaty takes effect next January. Proclamation of a trade embargo against Japan will then be possible, and. with the war closing other sources of supply and other markets to the Japanese, an American trade embargo would be almost a death-blow to them. H the Japenese yield to the tempta tion to grab for the Netherlands East Indies, the temptation to this country to resort to the trade em bargo will be vastly greater. And so It Is that a world catastrophe lnfecte nation after nation, spread ing like a new plngus against which the miracles of science are Inanely powerless.
