Aluminum Soon. Vancouver, Wash., July 10. W The Aluminum Company of America hopes to be turning out aluminum at its Vancouver plant in September. V. C. Doer chuk of the reduction division said yesterday. Editorial Correspondence Washington, D. C, July 8. Wendell Willkie ia still follow ing us around! Came down here last night in response to a telegram from Senator McNary, and the first thing the senator from Oregon remarked was hii engagement with Wendell Willkie at the Willard Hotel where various and sundry matters of a political nature were to be discussed. We arrived last night, Wendell today. Now if he follows us to Boston we will be getting nervous 1 we plan to leave for the Massachusetts hub tomorrow. Washington is a few degrees warmer, otherwise much as it was two or three weeks ago. Then there was great expect sncy regarding the approaching R?rW!T!! convention at Phil. delphia, now there is only slightly less expectation regarding the Democratic jamboree at Chicago. The front pages are plastered with the alleged secret con ference between President Roosevelt and Jim Farley at Hyde Park, following which the usually genial Jim assumed a mys terious Sphinx-like role, and had nothing to say. Me had talked frankly with the President, said he; the Presi dent had talked frankly with him, the former's plans regard ing the nomination had been divulged, but there waa nothing to say regarding it. It may have been a mysterious and secret conference, as far aa the general public is concerned, but not to the press boys hereabouts. very one we have seen says the same thing: The President will not CHOOSE to run, but after the shock of this announcement has been absorbed he will be DRAFTED! Like Senator McNary agreeing to be a good soldier for the good of the grand old party, F. D. R. will make the same SACRIFICE for his own party, and proceed to gird for the hardest political battle of his life, the contest with Wendell Willkie. (Note to Q. V.: If you are hard up for cash ynu can draw on us for that 75 cents, but until the deed is actually done we re fuse to give up). Regarding the improvement of the Medford airport, there is nothing much new to report. We can say this: General Arnold has had the matter called to his attention again, and quite ex plicitly, but will not commit himself one way or the other. The only thing to do is for Medford to keep on plugging, and try to get priority. As before stated in thia department, political pressure in matters of national defense has no influence on the war department, and as far as that goes, SHOULDN'T have. If anything, the pessimism regarding the war is more intense here now than before, not so apparent in the show-window, which is the congress, as behind the scenes, where the real work ia going on. The problem is to do in seven weeks what Germany was barely able to do in seven YEARS! We don't mean there is any spirit of panic or funk, but talk with anyone on the inside, and it is frankly admitted this country today faces the most serious crisis, from a military and naval standpoint in all its history, not only is there the obvioui danger in Europe, but fully as great a one in .the Pacific. It is a race between preparedness and disaster. What an irony, therefore, to go into the senate gallery and listen to this "show-off " Reynolds of North Carolina work him self into a lather about the menace of a few thousand aliens in our midst 1 If Senator Wheeler of Montana really tloes run against F. D. R. he will run with a limp. while playing golf yesterday and strained something in his foot. Surprised such a champion of the proletariat as the Montana solon would engage in anything so frivolous (and expensive) as GOLF I We shall not be surprised if Senator La Follette breaks down and sobs one of these days. Every time we see him. he looks just a little sadder than he no idea what sorrow is gnawing sure it ISN'T golf I As for Senator Taft. who always looks as hannv as a school boy with bad case of mumps, he shows outwardly no ill ef fects from the beating he took at Philadelphia. The urane-vine claims that, unlike Dewey, Ohio's school boy prodigy is sore at Willkie and won't lift a hand to help him against the Presi dent, but, as often pointed out before, you can't always believe tne grapevine. Perky" and "salty" are dent. No doubt "Cactus Jack" times, but we have yet to see those cockatoo eyebrows grow a ciirar in his mitt. Speaking of Senator Reynolds, the onlv person n lixton tn his silly harangue with any well-known Salem factotum, Joe stood at the door of the cloak on tne Carolina solon s congested Oh yes, there should be another exception. Rufus Hnlman was also interested and at one point interrupted the North Caro lina Senator to commend his remarks and call attention to the lact that the Junior .Vnator from Oreeon ia arnuai.il over th alien problem, and has a resolution in the hopper somewhere asking that the alien problem and Madam Perkins be invest!- gatea to tne tune of 1U,(MK).

(They ruu non-stop planes here from LaGuardia field every hour, on the hour, during daylight). We never cease to get a bang out of seeing a passenger plane come in, loaded with human freight, there is something in describably romantic and dramatic about it. It s very odd, that strange quality some people have, and some just HAVEN'T. Some woman, probably seeking a little limelight, threw her arms about W. W.'s ne'ek as he stepped off and appeared to kiss him, tho we couldn't swear as to that. (If she did the morning papers will have it). Hut what struck us was, how natural and spontaneous the action seemed to be, and how easily the Republican candidate carried it off in his stride without the flicker of an eyelash. Imagine anv tableaux like that with altoover or a Taft! Yes, W.W. HAS it! What a quaint village Washington seems after New York, yet it has increased in population over 40 per cent since 1930 the national capital being only 40.0(H) short of the million mark.

Is the mo tive which in spires the an nual increase in requests for rdvice on girth control during the vacation season. One matron who obtained a copy of the two-bit book let "Rules for Reducing" and followed the regimen given therein, reported that in the first week she reduced seven pounds, and she was feeling fine; she was astonished at the absence of the extreme hunger which had always before de feated her attempts to reduce. I hated to throw cold water on the lady's rejoicing and enthusiasm, but I had to ad vise her that tnere must be something out of the ordinary in her regimen or in her condi tion, for the normal reduction is and should be not over a pound a week, or even an aver age of two or three pounds a month. Too rald reduction is not necessarily dangerous in any case, provided it is not due to the use of harmful drugs or drastic cathartics or powerful ductless gland extracts. But a woman, or a man either, who values P. A. should remember that a rapid reduction is likely to leave wrinkles and sags which are difficult to remove. Gradual, moderate reduction, on the other hand, at no faster rate than the superfluous flesh was acquired in the first place, involves no radical readjust ment in the metabolism and gives time for the muscles, con nective tissues and the skin itself to take up slack, so to speak, and keep fit and trim. Sometimes I wish this reduc ing ure were not quite so seasonal. It seems so futile when someone writes in for a reducing diet, as he or she is planning a vacation next month and she must reduce IS pounds. If you have IS pounds handi cap to Ret rid of, you should begin your reduction regimen at least six months, or better a year before the time you ex pect to weigh in, On the other hand, for the THE CAPITAL PARADE By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KXNTNEP. fUltutd by th North American Nwipapr Alliance. Inc. Washington. July 10. The war and navy departments have recently completed a compre hensive survey of the military problem of the defense of the western hemisphere. Depend ing upon two unknown factors, the fascist timetable and the trend of public opinion here, high army and navy officers are fairly optimistic on this country's ability to prevent cither an internal or external nazi penetration In South America. But thw txpwt ar optimutlc only U th United 8tt adopt a linn policy and maintains It, what Ttr tha dvlopmnts at homa or abroad. Other dMcrlptlona may b uaed to explain the policy, but in fact it la a form of impenaliim. In the past the South American Republic hare objected strenuously to Yankee domination, but now they aera not only willing, but aniloua that the United States imuim a rather absolute control of the hemi sphere. The army and nary mn, who for soms weeks have been girlng their undlTlded attention to defense of this continent, lay down three prin ciples as essential to success. First, this country must assume an unalterable determination to de fend all of the hemisphere. Before the new armament program the army talked pessimistically of a defense of South America only as Ur south as the Braalllan buWe. while the nary talked of defending all the South American republics, now the military establishment sre being keyed up to a total defense, and the strategist art hopeful that our nary can hold off any attack, even If the British lose their fleet, at least until the time when the air force is built up to full strength Second, the United States must be prepared to take decisive action no matter what the internal political consequence tnav be. Both the Republicans and Utmocntts are on the record In favor of defending this hemisphere. But there ; 4 likeli Brady. M. D. X POUNDS TOO MUCH encouragement of many who adopt the physiological regimen laid down in "Rules for Re ducing," it is well to remem ber that there is ltkely to be a reduction in measurement be fore the scales show any ap preciable reduction In body weight. Combustion of fat, which is bulky, produces as one by-product water, which Is not so bulky but is heavy, and this water is retained in the tissues until the metabolism be comes readjusted, and then in the course of a week or two. if you continue following the regimen, the water is excreted and the scales show loss of body weight. In any reduction plan or in deed any plan to prevent ac cumulation of slacker flesh, a reasonable amount of daily ex ercise is absolutely essential. Not that exercise should be considered a factor in reducing, but merely to maintain good physical tone, to take up slack, to prevent flabbiness and sag ging. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Pleasure. Wheat germ eoata me thirty cents a pound, or I'd eat It Juat for the pleasure. Can't you persuade some millers to supply wheat germ so that a person can buy It at a reasonable price In the market? T.

I Juat felt my duty to report that we think of "Of Doc Brady" as a tried and trusted friend. A. P. O. Answer That makea me happy.

Third, while army and nary offi cials are now satisfied with the expanded re-armament program, they repeat what everybody recognises, that the program must be speeded. To develop the regular army of 1,000,000 men and the trained reserve of 3 500.000 that the war department favors, compulsory military training appears to be a necessity. And with some slight changes the war depart ment favors the Burke-Wads worth conscription bill now being debated in congress. ven those who reeognlre that Nasi penetration In South America Is a pressing problem olten under esttmste it. During a recent visit to Washlnfton, Alexander C. Kirk, the well-Informed American charge In Berlin, said that Oermany waa having great success In convening to the Nasi cause the South Amer ican diplomats stationed in Berlin.

It la being supplemented by an even more eriectlv. effort, the sales talk from hundreds of Oermsn agent, that the relch ta eager to buy huge amount, of South American surplus goods. The president and the state department hav. .volved an elaborate avatem for this country to buy up the South American sur pluaee to prevent Just such economic Inroads by Oermany and Italy. ' At the forthcoming Havana con ference of the South American re publics, state department ofnclsls are confident that the plan will be accepted, providing that th. South American at a tea are convinced of the readiDa and ability of the United sr.tee to defend them. When a real Naal move In South America will com. la anybody's guess.
