Meet Paul Hauser Jr. Saletn statesman Columnist Who Ooes Swimming 'Swimming is a habit which comes naturally to fish, frogs and some fowl. Most dogs and horses, some cows and most of the lesser apes also swim, whether they like It or not, on contact with water. Men also swim. "On the whole, fish are better swimmers than men, though we once knew fellow named Gil llngsby who claimed he outdis tanced a salmon over a mile course, including three fish lad ders and a water hazard. We had no reason to disbelieve his statement at the time. "Men must learn to swim, which Is where fish hae the upper fin. This is a handicap which some men are able to orercome. It is often said ol such persons that 'He swims like a fish.' It is sometimes said of some men that 'He drinks Ilk a fish,' but there Is no apparent parallel here. Although it had been recorded in the works of Grimpius. the Roman lchthyoulogist, that sc easionally a carping carp has been heard to remark In slur ring tones of another fish that 'He swims like a man.' no fish has erer been heard to say that 'He drinks like a man.' "Men. on the whole, drink much easier than fish, which is where men have It on the fish. "Considering the problem from all angles, Including the obtuse, however, it must be recorded that fish, on the whole or in filets, have a much easier time In their relations with water than men. ..iMrdis'cuLTs'c'erne", less regard for the truth than the British, but we were there are not subsequent piacesij quite sure both sides were lying their heads off. fish are never confronted with Of course they mav be.

Stalin Gets THE wonder isn t that Stalin finally got Trotsky, but , haf Via failed tn opt him Inner hpfnre. I .i.u. i x a w " ww J- ------ ' O - - It has been a decade since Trotsky broke with 1 the "man of steel" and became a refugee from the OGPU. During that time he has wandered pretty much over the face of the earth, finally finding sanc tuary in Mexico. There has been no doubt about Trotsky's efforts to so undermine Stalin's hold on the red rank and file, both at home and abroad, that he could someday re turn to Moscow, and carry on that long-delayed world revolution along the line of Lenin's original dream. EVERYWHERE Trotsky went he gathered ardent followers, for he was a man of keen intelligence, strong will, and uncompromising devotion to the com munistic ideal. And throughout the world, outside of Russia, the communists were pretty much divided be tween pro and anti-Trotskyites, which must have been gall and wormwood to the Oriental despot in the Kremlin. ' So it IS strange that Trotsky escaped as long as he did, considering Stalin's deep hatred, the world wide extension of his secret service, and the numerous ways in which a more or less friendless wanderer might be done in. The fact that it took a decade for Stalin to "get his man," speaks well for the resourcefulness and shrewdness of the hero of the Russian counter revolu tion, and his ability wherever he went to gather around him loyal and self-sacrificing followers and friends. It is doubtful, however, if Trotsky's tragic death will have any REAL effect upon the revolutionary situation either in Russia or the world. A decade in such matters is a long, long time ! Good Work,-Rufus! rAY by day in every way, Senator Holman is growing in statesmanlike stature. The other day Mark Sullivan, the veteran column ist, devoted several paragraphs to Oregon's junior senator, declaring that his stand on the selective draft measure represented that distinguished body at its best. This was quite an honor, and Rufus deserved it INSTINCTIVELY the junior Senator opposed any sort of war draft in peace time. His horror of war, his aversion to regimentation, his passion for personal freedom all joined in putting him at the forefront of the initial opposition. But the more he studied the situation the more he learned regarding the dangers facing this country and the best methods of resisting them, the more con vinced he became that some sort of selective draft should be adopted. He didn't like it. He was flooded with wires and letters against it. But he disregarded all pressure groups and his own predilections, in favor of what he believed to be best for his country in the present serious crisis. AS Mark Sullivan noted, such a spirit of true patriot tern art A rrvi ilnt cAlflacunaciz fftm-flcnntrtrl tlA UI1U VVHIIV .V OK. 11 IV iVll t CO 1 V I . iT" V 1 1 lt A 111. Upper House of congress at its best The Oregon senator's loyal and courageous action was in the finest tradition of the "greatest deliber ative body in the world," and for all time will repre sent an outstanding credit mark in his public record. So Cheer Up! AT last there is something for an optimist to bite on, except his own wishful thinking. H. R. Knickerbocker, original pessimist regarding allied chances in this war, declares the British air force, man-to-man, is vastly superior to the German air force. He adds that the casualty reports from the British war office are as accurate as the difficulties of factual reporting allow. ELL, that's a great relief. " This department has, from the first, been ex tremely skeptical regarding official air reports from both sides. We haven't doubted the Germans had getting them first. C 1 l- ou w neil lie says somCUimg IS UUC. UUS (ICpai'l- mcnt is strongly disposed to believe it. A ND if Wll3t l1? IS U .tllC IIitle' as far as Lncland is concerned.

Calif. PHYSIOLOGY Although it is not known whether cilcium (lime) In water is assimilated and utilized by the body, we do know that the amount of cal cium or lime rmC ? in even the fj,t mV U hardest drink ing water is inisgnificant in the amount of water one can drink, and that the only thing that matters in regard to the use of hard water for drinking purposes is the taste if the water is satis factory in taste its hardness is of no consequence. People who hesitate to drink hard water, or put themselves to any inconvenience or expense to procure soft water or distilled water for drinking purposes, for fear of getting high blood pres sure, hardening of the arteries, stone in kidney or any other imaginary effect of "too much lime," are ill informed or ill ad vised. So far as deposits of calcare ous, chalky or limey material in the arteries or other body tissues are concerned, we know these are only a late effect of degener ation in such tissues and cannot be regarded as either direct or indirect cause of the degenera tion. Again, so far as hardening of the arteries is concerned, there is considerable evidence that at least a contributing cause in some instances is prolonged or habitual shortage of calcium (lime) in the diet. It is certain that an optimal or better-than-average daily Intake of calcium tends to prolong youth and post pone the degeneration of senil ity. Far from getting too much calcium or lime, whether in food,, water or medicine, chil dren in their 'teens, young adults and mature adults gener ally get insufficient calcium, in the consensus . of opinion of nutrition authorities and well informed physicians today. According to present know ledge a child in the 'teens must assimilate daily about 15 grains of calcium, a mature adult 10 to 12 grains, for optimal nutrition. As scarcely half of the calcium ingested in food or medicine is assimilated under the most fa vorable conditions, this means that at least twice the amount mentioned must be taken in Portland. Ore., Aug. ?2 Of all the voting groups in Oregon greatest weight Is possessed by iabor organized labor. How the labor vote will go, whether for Mr. Roosevelt or ths Willkie McNary ticket, is a controvers ial subject. One fact appears clear; labor In Oregon Ir not a unit, is not likely to vote solid ly for one ticket or the other. Therefore the problem resolves itself Into where the majority of labor will nestle on the day of balloting next November. On this point no agreement can be found among politically minded union men. American Federation of La j bor has made it a practice not ; to Indorse presidential tickets I CIO has no such inhibition and has followed the recomirienda tion of laiwr s Nonpartisan lea Cue. a recommendation which, in 1936. was also followed by AFL membrs. Today tluse two major labor organizations are at dagger point, a rift which ex tends from John L. Levis and William Green down to the last man in their respective organi rations. Almost J500.000 was furnish ed the democratic national com mlttee in iV6 by Lewis the largest contribution evt given to any canriatgn fund by an it- I ' dividual or organiraticn.

'MmLf OREGON. THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1940. Brady. M. D. Of CALCIUM daily, in one form or another. A quart of milk contains nearly 15 grains of calcium. Cheese, any and es-ery kind, is an excellent source of calcium. So are dried beans, string beans, soy beans, I beet greens, cabbage, lettuce, kale, okra, tomatoes, peanuts filberts, almonds, walnuts, oat meal, plain wheat, celery, car rots, turnips. For assimilation of calcium (whether in food or medicine) an adequate daily intake of vitamin D is essential. Of course the vita min D manufactured in the body when the naked skin is exposed to direct sunlight or to ultra violet rays from artificial sources promotes assimilation and utilization of calcium, and this holds true for adults as well as for infants or children. Calcium diminishes capillary permeability, and so lessens in flamatory exudation this ac counts for its beneficial effect in moist or weeping eczema, in chilblains, in hay fever and many cases of hyperesthetic rhinitis with constant watering at the nose. Calcium promotes normal clot ting of blood, optimal intake tends to prevent excessive bleed ing or oozing from trifling in juries. QIESIIONS AM) ANSWERS Tonll TlMilt Loft In Throat Our doctor Inlonns us that the diathermy method of removing ton sils, which you recommend, does not remove the entire tcnsll but leaves eome toiull tltsue In the throat, and hence has been discarded by the better doctors. Can you reconcile. IB. r.) Answer It la true, neither dia thermy nor the o:d Spanish method (guillotine and snare) nor dissection removes the entire tonsil, aa a rule. Some tonsil tlsaue la almost Invar iably left in the throat. It la falae that the diathermy method hae been discarded on the contrary It la the method of choice with more good physicians now than ever before. But not every doctor or near-doctor who purporta to exttrparte tonsils with diathermy has the training or the skill for the difficult method. Select your doctor at your own risk, when I know of a reliable doctor In your vicinity for diathermy extirpation of tonsils I am glad to name him by mall, if you accompany your request with stamped envelope benrlng yo- address. Diathermy extirpation la the only method I would even consider If I had Infected tonsils. (Protected by John P. Dl!le Co) Ed. Nute. Persons wishing to communicate with Or.

The secretary of labor Is a mem ber of the presld?nfa cabinet, and you know who eeleota th cabinet " From thle point onward the union man is supposed to know that, after all, Mr. Roosevelt Is the head and sourc of the trouble and tribula tion of AFL. Despite th personal feelings of Lewis, labor's Nonpartisan League wanle Mr. Roosevelt.

Ger man losses on the other hand are estimated at between IS and 30 per cent of every squadron sent over. This being so. the American experts are also convinced that so far. the B AT haa proved s match for the Oei'uiAU luftwaffe. The expert have their fingers tWhtly created. They still think the chances are even that English re alatance wiu collapse before the Ger man onslaught In a very short time. But they have at least revised their opinion of a week ago. that the collapse of English resistance waa probable tn a few daya or a couple of weeks. AS these men aummartse the sit uation to date, Germany has made two Important gains, but gams which were Inevitable from the start. Operating from bases along the French and elTlan coasts, German planea have virtually stopped the convoys of trawlers aid other email veeeels In which supplies brought Into the west coast porta were form erly trana-ehlpped to the port of London. In the same fashion, the more exposed channel porta have teen m8de untenable for all but a few English naval veseela. Since the protective force must thus be sta tioned at a greater distance from the dancer point, the German chances of affecting a surprise crossing of the channel have been aomewhat Increased.

Damage don in England has been extraordinarily negligible, so far aa American obsenera can learn. H strategic factories have been put out of commission, and while Croydon and on r two other London air port ha- been damaged, no R-AT. baa haa been rendered useless. Cer tainly ra'l transportation facilities hav been chipped and nicked, but It la th English plan, tn any case, to resort entirely to motor transport If need be.

Thua. to date, the R AT. haa ahown luelf able to perform tte task of protecting England. Furthermore, th saw v... -,Mitd in Its task with out concentrating ita entire strength in the southern part 01 me wu, which the American expert feared and the Germans hoped would BO neceary. And because the squadrons of tn H A F. have not yet been drawn away from Scotland and the north of Eng land, the German plan for an occu pation of the Shetlsnd. rare and Orkney Wands under cover of air attacks on aouth English center doe not yet seem to be practicable In short, there la no eign as yet of th quick crumbl.ng of English strength which had been widely anticipated In military and other Informed, quartere. THUS far. the whole German atren;th haa not been thrown against England at one time.
