Yesterday morning, a radio broadcast went back to 1016, and told of how William the Conqueror invaded Eng land, and the issue was settled at the Battle of Hastings. It was a historical fact Interspersed into the deluge of reports from European battlefields, with nothing much to do with what is going on these tragic days, though linked with Nazi threats to do what William the Con queror did. Vour corr. shortly afterwards met a City Park gen eral, who said: "She's looking blacker. England's been in vaded, and there having a hell of a fight at Hastings. Just got it over the air." The incident shows how people roll their own news. "Ralph Tiede was so sick two days last week that he could hardly hold a pool cue in his hand." (Miller, Mo.,' News). Man of valor! Wendell .Wllkle of Indiana, who has made a frightful suc cess as a business man, has formally cast his headgear into the ring, as a Republican pres idential nominee. In political circles, he is highly favored as Just the white-haired boy to squelch the third term non sense, and remove from high places, the likes of Harold Ickes, and Madam Perkins. Most of all the gentleman Is a first-class orator, able to fling a mean wisecrack with the best New Deal mouthpiece. TWAS EVER THUS (Corvallis Gazette-Times) "For many miles this beau tiful highway follows the banks of the Alsea . river, with many hairpin turns and horseshoe curves, many with no guard rails or other form of safety device. Usually on the worst curves it Is the nar rowest." This is the dark day, mili tary experts have been predict ing for the Allies, for the hordes of Hitler have entered Paris, and, the once proud army of France Is battling to save itself from annihilation. It Is the sad and bitter fruits of what has been aptly described as "the dumb inactivity of democ racies." while Hitler, with die bolical efficiency prepared for war. Writes Gen. Hugh (Crack down) Johnson, in his column today: "Although the disastrous future was then that clear, and that avoidable, we (America) and the Allies did little." He Is speaking of warning signs visible in 1935. For the future, it Is recommended the nation cast out politics and politicians, and bend the national back to the grim business of mobiliza tion for defense. It is no time to be gay and carefree. France was that way. It might be the diplomats who piddled at Mu nich the Norway leaders who betrayed their land, the klng 'bo insisted upon taking the back seat, asking her, among of Belgium, who cut such a'other thinira. if she were familiar with Medford and Southern pathetic figure, at a crucial Oregon.

Jq Legion Looks Ahead "OREGON Legionnaires are getting ready to con- duct their annual Beaver Boys' State on the Hill Military Academy campus at Portland. While the camp this year will not be held until the week of August 3rd, the task of selecting boys for this "course in good citizenship" is now underway. And, as usual, Medford and southern Oregon will be represented by a group of alert youngsters who want to know more about the machinery of this American democracy. . A few openings remain, however, in the quota set aside for southern Oregon and Medford Post 15 is hopeful that more individual and group sponsors will step forward before closing date for enrollment, June 30th. DY all means, every encouragement should be given 0 to the American Legion's commendable plan for conducting this yearly "practical laboratory in self government." The plan of the Boys' State is not new its worth has been well demonstrated throughout the nation during the past six years. In Oregon the Beaver Boys' State has been especially noteworthy. Likewise, Legionnaires are not employing any fifth column hysteria in promoting the 1940 camp; they offer it as no immediate panacea for our problem of coping with subversive elements which bore like ter mites at the foundation of this government. On the other hand, this gram is certain to make good, sound American government in the trying years ahead. It is no trite phrase to say that the hope of democracy DOES rest in the hands of today's youth. IT seems to us that the Legion's Boys' State plan teaching the fundamentals and some of the intri cacies of good government to those who will have the responsibilities of governing in years to come is one of the most sensible methods of combating the two great menaces of successful democracy IONOK ANCE and INDIFFERENCE. Within this camp the youngsters are given the op portunity of forming and ernments patterned after state, under the guidance of trained leaders. Indi vidual initiative, freedom of thought and expression are stressed. They learn the advantages of self-government by actually governing themselves. IN this fast-changing world it is difficult to evaluate all of the new theories we may be asked to accept. Some of them will be necessary and sound, others will be dangerous to the very life of this nation. Here is where the Legion's Boys' State comes in 1 It seeks to provide the RIGHT type of leaders for America in years to come leaders who will meet in evitable readjustments with sane, clear thinking and will not yield, change or compromise the basic prin ciples of this democracy. THEY will steer the ship of state while a new world is shaping itself. The sea will be a perilous one and, like the captain who must vary his course with changing wind and weather, these new leaders must change from traditional views and methods without missing sight of this goal a free, democratic America. Educate for democracy that is the Legion's plan and it is a good one. Whole-hearted support should be given to this sound, workable plan of making this nation more secure in years to come. H. G. ! Editorial Correspondence I' : li Portland, Oregon, June 13. The Riverside golf club is on the banks of the Columbia northeast of Portland, where once there was a nice soft and smelly marsh. With a car one can make it from 4th and Stark in Portland in about twenty min utes, but haviug no car, it took us over an hour to get there. First a Sandy Bus to 33d street where there was over a half hour wait, then down to the river district by another bus, followed by a walk of 2 or 3 miles, (or so it seemed) pretty good "work-out." before one reached the club house! After walking around 36 holes in tight, slippery street shoes, ye editor was readv for the nearest chiropodist's clinic. In the course of events, met up with another "senior golfer" and dated him for the return trip as far as the bus line. The trip was made in an old Auburn car, whose speedometer showed exactlv 94.563 miles to date, and' had never been out of the hands of the present owner! He finally took us all the way to Broadway where we caught a Sandy bus after considerable semaphoring. Apparently the Saudy buses have their eyes on higher things than stopping for pedestrians within the con fines of the city itself. Which only goo to show one should never travel without the old family chariot. En route our senior friend picked up his wife, at bis Alameda home, explaining that she wanted to do some shopping for the evening meal, and therefore he emild kill two birds with one stone, get a bus for us and a grocery store for "the wife." F.n route we tried to make pleasant converse with "the wife" silence, which was disconcerting announced : " Don 't mind Mrs. S the mumps five years ago hasn't heard a thing since!" lust before our hitchhike ended Mr. S. further elucidated bv saving he used to do most of the shopping himself, but since 1 1 lis mumps his wife would let ! her hearing bad gone, her smelling had become extremely acute. She can smell a good cantaloupe six or ten feet off, fie said proudly. Like most congenital golf duffers, jour correspondent has a areater admiration for a good golfer than for good athletes io lny other branch of sport.

Aa is frequently the ease your correspondent refusei to run with the pack, but has to admit that when he predicted Paris wouldn't be taken he wasn't exactly psychic! ' Later: Just in from Riverside where Ivan Harrington "as put- out in the 3rd round of the 4th flight, so that cleans up the Medford delegation! Well, this much may be said of the Harrington Brothers, Medford won first prize in masculine pulchritude anyway, they were the best looking pair on the course, if they couldn't play golf, THIS TIME. It'a nice to see all these young boys, many of them ex-cad dies, banging the ball about in will probably be on the sport pages one of these days, but today no one pays much attention to them.

William Brad-, Z6J CI C-mlno. Beverly Hills. Calif. WHAT DO YOU DRINK WITH YOUR FOOD AND EAT WITH YOUR DRINK? The pernicious hemolytic (blood destroying) streptococcus, the pneumococcus (pneumonia. sore throat, coryza, sinusi tis, quinsy) and the diph theria bacillus, not to mention the common colon bacillus, are prominent among the germs found on tableware. glasses and li a n d washed dishes in pub lie places where food and bev erages are dispensed. Tests made by the health au thorities in a town In Ontario, Canada, showed colon bacilli, streptococci and diphtheroid bacilli present on spoons, forks, tumblers and the like in use in 18 places where foods and drinks were dispensed. Nine out of 10 such utensils were found so infected even after they had been washed and made ready for use. The health authorities conducting the testa concluded that more than half of the res taurants or beverage dispensing places were not properly ster ilizing the utensile or satisfac torily cleaning them before sterilization. Accordingly the health au thorities recommended the use of a solution of chlorine, 100 parts per million parts Of water, for rinsing utensils after the ordinary soap and water wash ing. They also recommended in stallation of double sinks where these were lacking. Several months later they made the same bacteriological tests, and this time the utensils were found practically free from germs. This Investigation seems to show that the minimum require ment for every place where food and drinks are dispensed to the public are, first, washing of all utensils with soap and hot water, second, drying with out use of hand towels, third, rinsing In a weak chlorine solu tion, and fourth, double sinks. The Canadian Investigation showed convincingly that the practice, frequently seen in eat ing and drinking places during a rush of business, of dipping unwashed glasses or other uten sils in chlorine solution or other disinfectant without previous soap and water washing, is a dangerous one so far as the pub lic safety is concerned.

THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KIMTNER Released by the North American Newspaper JUllasco. Inc. Washington, June 14 Among many high-ranking war depart ment officials there is a strong belief that congress should en act some sort of compulsory military training. This country, except in war periods, has never used a draft system to fill up the army's ranks, and army men are naturally reluctant to ex press themselves publicly. But there can be no doubt of a gen eral feeling at the department that congress should act, and act before adjournment. Tho war department reasons are extremely matter-of-fact. For the past six weeks the army haa been trying to enlist 15.000 men. and only S 000 have been recruited. With tbe regular forosa about to be Increased by 100.000 to 400.000 men, some eon of compulsion may be necessary. Meanwhile, the war department baa elaborate plana, made In coopera tion with the governors of the forty eight states, to bolster up Its re cruiting through the aid of state and local committees. Then too. tt Is no great eecret that. In the event of an Increasingly prob able German victory, tbe war de partment envisions a regular army of 790.000 men, with 3.500.000 of trained reserves. It Is obviously Im possible to create such an armed force In a relatively short ttce with out conscription. As one official closely in touch with the European war put It: "we might aa well make up our mlnda that we need about three million excellently trained men. The sooner we start the train ing the better. This la obviously an emergency period. Six months msy make tha difference." War depsrtmont offlclsls have two plana for compulsory peacetime con scription. Both are based on the prin ciple that 90.000 men should be added each montb for a period' of six montba. and 79.000 a montb thereafter. With Its present officers. the army cannot efficiently train more than 90.000 new men a month. Both plana would require a one-year enlistment period, with the objective of building up a regular army of 790.000 and an ultimate goal of 3.- 900.000 reserves. Every male In the country who la now a I years of age would be sub ject to drart, under the first plan. From thta group of 31-year-olds, numbering about 1.100.000. approxi mately 900.000 would be selected for training with exemptions for those not physically fit. Under the second plan, the eligible list would Include all men between the ages of 31 and 30. A lottery aystem. aimllar to that used In the first world war. would be used to select 900.000 men as the first group to be trained. Exemptions would be tha same aa In the last war physical unfitness, family de pendency, key Industrial positions snd so on. War department offlelala advoca ting the first plsn. while agreeing that the selection of aU males who sre now 31 yesrs old Is arbitrary, con tend that only on that basis csn tha country develop a plsn for uni versal military training, tta obvious disadvantage would be the reluctance of congress to Umlt the training to thst sge group. Long ego the war department aet up nationwide machinery for a draft system In case thta country went to war. It centers in the offices of tbe adjutant general of each atate. and branches out In local committees In avery county In America. If the presi dent spproves the war department Is ready to adapt this machinery to speed up Its recruiting. Tbe governor of each state would be e&ked to urge publicly the neces sity of volunteering, and these proc lamations would set In motion coun ty committees who would canvas uieir territories for enlistments. While It Is obviously true thst European events of the last few weeks have produced a great change In sentiment In the country, the ad ministration la apparently not yet willing to sponsor compulsory mili tary training. As of this writing land policy Is on a day-to-day basis), a three-point program for further Im provement In our military establish ment Is being developed, under tha lesdershlp of the sble Senator James P. Byrnes, of South Carolina. Involv ing an expenditure of 79.000.000. the plan Includes: . I. Another expansion of the en listed reserre of both the army and navy. 3 Tripling the citizens military training campa to Uke care of 100.. 000 boya thla summer. . Increased voeauona! education tn CCC campa in city schools and under the national youth admlnla tration to train mechanics, electric lane and other skilled workmen who some day would be useful to the army. Whether the program wiu go be yond this seema dependent on whether or not congress stays tn ses sion If tbe session Is prolonged and if the Germane continue tbelr tie tory march, it would not be a bad bet thst something more would be done.

V - V v-r' By Frank Jenkins, ANOTHER bombshell bursts: Turkey signs new com mercial agreement with Ger many providing for exchange of certain products to the extent of 21,000,000 Turkish pounds. It is announced as the result of "months of negotiation between the Turkish government and Franz von Papen, German am bassador to Turkey." Presumably Russia had a fin ger in the pie. I WHAT does it mean? This writer doesn't know and doubts if anyone outside the inner diplomatic circles knows. But it proves again (as history has so amply proved before) that when war shakes Europe to ita foundations it s EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF. THE Jap-controlled "Chinese " central government" at Nan king demands withdrawal of all troops, warships and armed forces of European belligerents in China. The demand cites that the British, the French and the Italians all have armed forces In China, which may "result in armed conflict developing to setv, ious proportions." It is also a good excuse to kick everybody else out of China, which is the real reason for the demand. RflORAL: If you want to BE SOME BODY among the nations, make yourself so big and strong that all the other nations will fear you with a great fear. Never mind about being ad mired or respected that doesn't count in International relations. "THE stock market, when the allied cause first began to look definitely bad, went to pieces. Now. with the news much worse, it stages recoveries. The reason if any: Recovery from the first and worst hysteria and hope that the American preparedness program will result in better business and more profits. THIS writer hopes greatly that 1 In the days that are coming American business won't seek to make BIG profits. Abnormal profits, as we learned to our cost in the last war. merely start a vicious upward cycle that end in inflation.
