Medfords Housing Problem ITTILIZING the services ot experienced school census takers, the local cantonment coordinating board will undertake an immediate and comprehen sive survey of housing facilities in and near Medford. It is wise action. There will be need for additional housing facilities to accommodate the increased population the moment construction of "Camp Medford" is authorized. IJNDOUBTEDLY there are many usable residence units in and near Medford now: remodeline of other structures will provide added accommodations. Certainly, these units should be put to use BEFORE a sweeping construction program is undertaken. It is only sound business to space Derore anything new 1 hen. when present facilities have been exhausted. new building should be spread as evenly as possible throughout the city and land already served by Utilities. 1ISE use of the information secured in this hous- A. .

Property values in some districts will thus not be impaired through the establishment of unnecessary and overlapping residential THE house-to-house canvass, will get underway to- morrow. And, because it is highly important that this survey be conducted with all possible speed and thoroughness, the friendly cooperation of all citizens has been asked. Needless H.G.

The British lion teaming bear, thus early in the game, on such a vital matter as war aims, does require a rather radical mental readjustment, to a new world situation which is only a week old. That Britain and Soviet Hitler is entirely understandable, in fact when Rus sia was attacked by the Nazis, became inevitable. .But fighting is one thing, war aims quite another. Fighting has to do with national survival and the PRESENT; war aims with the problem of peace and a FUTURE world readjustment. s s THEREFORE until this will be very skeptically from Winston Churchill has persistently refused to state Britain's war aims, on the ground that such intel lectual and political speculation would only impair the war effort We can't believe he has that Brother Stalin has come in on the allied side. Far more likely this unexpected happening has only strengthened the British premier's conviction, that the public discussion of war aims be left, until the war has been won No Time for 'J'HERE is an old Scandinavian saying to this effect: jvw i i.i . pelvic eat rabbit pie." In other words, the allies they waste time .and energy, in discussing, precisely wnat must De done, Ar TbK IT is perfectly all right for institutions like the Carnegie and Smithsonian, or various and sundry college groups, to start on research and study in this direction, what the war aims are, just what the peace terms should be, for problem, and will call for the best wisdom and intelli gence the modern world can provide. liut it should all be done in the laboratory and class room, at this stage of or in public debate. pOR as Dr. Munk of Reed college pointed out in .no iiuciiroLUi Klin Jll UI7 vtctl DILUailUU ilCl C 111" day night, the great and immediate need, in this war against Nazi Germany, is opposition. Such unity CAN be attained, on the question of beating Hitler. NO such unity can be attained, on the question, of what must be done AFTER his defeat.

The "Red" Wedge A NOTHER point brought out in Dr. Munk's Friday " night address is brought into sharp relief, by the latent cable reports Irom Europe.

Wlfftara Brady, US et Camlno. Bererly Hills, Calif. READERS SOMETIMES G When a correspondent tells me I said something I am rea sonably sura I did not say, I no lunger at tempt to make categorical denial. It you have an article entitled "Con genial Flat Teet" It Is real ly too childish to try to per suade your correspondents you mean con genital. But when they twit me with inconsisten cies or absurdities in my own monograph! or booklets, that j a serious matter. For example Mrs. C. G. comes tripping up with the following extraordinary statement: "I followed the regimen given in your booklet 'Rules for Reduction" (Design for Dwindling) and found that my hunger was satisfied with considerably less food than I had always needed before and my weight was reduced from 165 to 140 pounds. 1 am five teet tour Inches tall." At this point in Mrs. G's letter I figuratively patted myself on the back. While plumo girls. as already Intimated, are usu ally good natured and lovable enough, if you can show 'em how to regain a youthful figure without severe self-denial or im pairment of good health and good looks, you've got 'era prac tically Indentured. . So Mrs. G's next remark changed everything. "But I developed arthritis in my feet," she observes, and wrote for your booklet "The Ills Called Rheumatism.' You list rice pollshlngs as one of the causes of arthritis. Rice polish ing! contain vitamin B. My doctor advises vitamin B to help arthritis. But vitamin B in creases appetite. So there I am, in a circle. What to do?" I can't find any mention of rice pollshlngs in the booklet. On p. 15 I mention polished rice, along with refined corn meal, syrups, sugars and white flour, as constituting the refined car bohydrates of which most peo ple lake, too much tor the good ot their health anyway. Pol ished rice is the ordinary white or pearl rice. The rice bran or surface coat removed by polish ing constitutes rice pollshlngs, and rice polishlngs are rich in vitamin B. Refined white rice is poor in vitamin B. So called red or brown rice, that is, na tural unpolished rice, or wild rice, Is therefore preferable if rice Is used to any considerable extent in the diet. airs. G's inference that rice polishings have anything to do with causing arthritis, or any other ailment for that matter, is an unfortunate error. And I assure Mrs. G. she is not caught in a vicious circle. No matter how much vitamin B she may take, It cannot give her an excessive eppetlte or craving for food. It may be true that In beriberi there is loss of appetite in advanced cases, and treat ment with vitamin B helps to restore the appetite. But there is no good whatever for the no tion that vitamin B or any other v.tamln vitamins will cause ab normal increase in a normal or ordinary appetite. On the con trary, as I endeavor to explain in Rules 'or Reducing, supple menting the reducing diet with a suitable daity ration of vita mins usually has the effect Mrs. G. mentions hunger satisfied with less food than one has re quired while subsisting on the conventional diet in which rs- ! fined carbohydrates, denalur- I ized and devitaminized, supply most ot the calories. qt'lSTIONa AND AN!rR, He Reasonable Take a look at these tare.

Kelly's Comment From Washington Oregon Cheese In Big: Demand Coast Steel Plant Vetoed Zinc Production Cold Shouldered By John W. Rally Washington. D. C. June 28. Oregon cheese plants will be assisted in the installation of ad ditional cheese vats, for the lowly cheese, like aluminum and steel, has over night be come a major war munition and uie federal government Is ready to increase production by ex panding present facilities. Every cheese plant in the state Is re quested to operate on a 24-hour Dasis with the present vats (nothing said about overtime pay) and the government will finance more vats as the pres sure becomes greater. Cheese, millions of pounds, have been shipped to the British; other millions will be purchased for the same destination. Just to keep the record straight Last May there was assembled in the national cap ital dietitians from all over the country and the subject was nutrition. It was demonstrated that there are 52,000,000 peo ple in the United States who do not get enough to eat, or do not eat the Tight food. This is 40 percent of the population (Oregon's ratio on this basis, 400,000 undernourished). Gen eral Hershey, In charge of se lective draft, said 380,000 of the 1,000,000 called to the colors Here Is An Opportunity to Invest your surplus funds In a local Institution where your money will be used to build up the community. Yeu will participate In regular dividends paid In July and January. Invest by July tenth and earn from tha first Accounts are Insured. Jackson County Federal savings & loan association 126 East Main were rejected and of these 123, 000 were suffering from insuf ficient food. These experts on food stressed tha need of cheese, especially for those families who cannot buy meat Less than two weeks follow ing the expos ot tha Ill-nourished and the appeal for them to eat more cheese Claud Wlck ard, secretary of agriculture, urged the American people to eat less cheese in order that tha British could have it The secretary promptly heard from Oregon dairymen; the Wiscon sin delegation called In person; the dairy associations moved Jn to file objections. Came an nouncement from the food sur plus administration that neither butter nor cheese would go with food stamps; that these commodities are required in Britain. From England came an appeal from the minister of food asking American women to do without cream one day a week to Increase the amount for the British. Secretary WlckaTd, Ignoring the 152,000,000 undernourished Americans, has bought 25,000 000 pounds of Cheddar cheese in the past few weeks and 1,750,000 cases of evaporated milk. (Milk last week cost $3.15 per case f o b., an advance of 48 cents a case in 90 days). Only half of the cheese wanted by June 30 is obtainable and less than 66 percent of the milk. To step up production Secretary Wickard wants a 24-hour day in the factories and full time in the milk plants where the fluid is evaporated. At prices now being paid by the depart ment for cheese and evaporated milk the secretary says dairy men will make more money than if the milk were turned into butter. Then there ia the eovernment ready to finance more vats, just as it la building plants for powder, for airplane parts and other essentials. And the 40 percent oi we American people undernourish ed? They will continue that way. OPM Investigated and turned down a proposal to give Henry J. Kaiser $150,000,000 to estab lish an all-purpose steel industry on the Pacific coast and to pro duce 100,000.000 tons. It wasn l that the steel ia now needed on the west coast, with shipyards demanding steel, but the big mills of the east have always op- Dosed spreading out on the Pa cific coast and production has been only moderate and Insuf ficient to meet requirements. The Gano Dunn report to Presi dent Roosevelt disclosed a serl- i shortage everywhere and OPM said it would ask for in creased facilities in existing mills but no new ones. Into the scene moved Dr. R. R. Sayers of the bureau of mines, submitting a statement that the coals of Washington state were suitable for coke and that there is suffici ent deposits to last for many years. Ten days after this Sayers report OPM had a shower of re quests for money to build up the existing plants in the west in the amount of $100,000,000 to produce 1,556,000 tons. J. P. HEWITT, who has line properties on the South Santiam in Oregon, has for several months been seeking RFC fi nancing to build an electroiinc plant at the mine. He has sub mitted exhaustive reports on the extent and quality of the zinc ore (which is now scarce and is on the priority list), but has the government been interested in this Oreson zinc proposition? It has not. Last week John A. 1 Church, consultant on tine for ADU .... ,& cA..Btn M.u.n, inai ins mailer nsa ju5l come to his attention (Charley Mac was prodding OPM) and he dash ed cold water on the proposal, saying Hewitt intended taking ore from small properties scat tered around, or from Australia, and that it was tha practice not to recommend a loan for a plant except on a proved production. Mr. Hewitt never mentioned Australia, incidentally. Behind this letter of Mr. Church If a negotiation with other parties who wish to locate an electro zinc plant at Tacoma and do not wish competition. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Pegs One) and already OPM officials are talking of doubling the total amount ess THE experience of Al. J. Browning, one of the na tion's larger wall-paper manu facturers, shows at least one thing wrong with the existing defense setup. Mr. Browning was with OPM until mid-March as a deputy director of purch ases, assisting Don Nelson. Re turning to his business then he couJd see that the coming vast increase in expenditures would cut into production of his con sumer product, so he came to Washington seeking a defense contract to take up the expected slack. With his contacts, you would think that obtaining a contract would be a simple busi ness. However, he encountered difficulties and finally sent home to Chicago for his best salesman. They canvassed every army procurement office in the country and everyone of im portance below the rank of Har ry Hopkins in Washington. His argument was he had a good plant, skilled workers, and knew the defense program, was convinced he could make gas masks, containers, or something. After a week he gave up and went home. The army was Interested only in equipping its soldiers, not in balanced economics, helping In jured businesses, or even on ex panding its program. No one could be found with sufficient authority to take hold of the problem and work it out, either in the interests of Mr. Brown ing or the country.
