")NLY the night before former President Hoover, in a very temperate and carefully reasoned speech, maintained that for this country to formally enter the conflict now would weaken our aid to Britain and thus impair the alljed war effort Who is right? This paper doesn't know. Only our military and naval experts DO know. Why then poesn t President Koosevelt call in his experts now and once and for all decide this supreme ly vital question? IF Britain can be aided most effectively by now declaring war, then WAR SHOULD BE DE CLARED. If Britain can be aided most effectively by not declaring war, then war should NOT be declared. But above all, and before all, this country should no longer drift along, half in the war, and half out of it, which is neither a dignified position, nor an effective one. IT isn't a matter for the Secretary of the Navy to decide. It isn't a matter for an ex-President to decide. ' It IS a matter for the President of the United States, with the advice of secure, to decide. And as we see it, the time to decide it is NOW. "TRUE, the President, can't constitutionally declare war, though he can in an emergency wage it. But he can ask the CONUKbbS to declare it, and if he believes, with his Secretary of War, that now is the time to jump in, then we should jump, and there is no doubt a majority of the congress would so vote. DUT having cabinet members declaring war on one side, and members of the congress declaring against it on the other, while the President of the country, and commander-in-chief of the armed forces maintains an impenetrable and mysterious silence, puts this country in an indecisive and equivocal position, which it seems to us, no self-respecting world power should longer occupy at such a critical time as this. CO let's get off the fence, let's get definitely IN this war or definitely OUT of it. , NOW, says our Secretary of the Navy, with Germany and Russia at death grips, is the time for Uncle Sam to strike and smash the Nazi menace. Frankly, it looks that way to this department If the President agrees, then let's stop this non sense. If he doesn't then his over-zealous and belligerent cabinet member. But let's NOT continue this half-in-half -out hocus pocus longer. It's a type of pusillanimous play that, after nearly two years of war, is definitely played outl Yes, Keep Oregon Green! 1E who live in southern Oregon have good reason to support the "Keep Oregon Green" campaign, which is fast gaining headway throughout this state. We have here one of the last great stands of virgin timber in the nation an immediate source of pay rolls and an important factor in our economy in years to come. We have also a land of incomparable scenic beauty, endowed with wildlife and everything that appeals to tourist and pleasure seeker. Here again is an industry of economic importance dependent upon the forests. DY keeping Oregon green we safeguard this great resource, also the source of 12 cents of every dollar paid in taxes to the counties and the state. More than that we assure security to 60 per cent of all persons gainfully employed in Oregon manu- 'factoring; we guard the asset that provides the major portion of railroad tonnage originating in Oregon, as well as 64 per cent of the value of goods exported from this state. Taking these and other factors into consideration, the "Keep Oregon Green" program assumes REAL importance. And one good thing about this campaign ALL citizens can take part in it DECAUSE fire is the valuable raw material Forest Service is right in Attn recenny created py governor rprague. ine usual fuJ RTt( effective assistance Of this federal agenCV .u v pvlnntled ThU cooperation will simplify ' ueen exieiu eu. in s cooperation will simpm. tfio iiTahl. ficL- tr thfl "U AArt I 1iaiya f-t-Aon , uic ritnuic uion vi uic association. niKi i million acres or timber lands are burned each year through care lessness and ignorance.

PEDALS PREFERABLE TO HANDLES You apeak as though door I pensing placei lack guch facllt- knobi were the only Important agendei in the gpread ol germt.meanf that gpell GRAFT in How a boutilarge letters. bus handles, stair' rails, straps for s t a n d les on street cars, subway trains, etc.? Why not make every one who is afraid of germs wear gloves, and keep the glove man ufacturers happy? (N. H.) ... I do not re call having spoken of door knobs as though they were so important. Touching an ordin ary door knob scarcely gives me a faint shudder of anxiety. But I do hate to encounter a doorknob or a handle of any kind in a lavatory. There is no reason why it should be neces sary to touch anything touched by so many others in such cir cumstances. The door may be a swing door which works with out touching with hand. The faucets of the washbasin may be as readily controlled by a pedal as by a handle. If the common towel Is no longer permitted in lavatories, the common tap handle and door knob should be ruled out too. In many such lavatories it is evident that the cost of installing these sanitary improvements could be met in a little while by simply discon tinuing the senseless expendi ture for smelly disinfectants or for trick apparatus for dispens ing disinfectants. If reasonable cleanliness Is maintained and plain soap is available for washing, there is no useful pur pose served by the noisome dis infectant, germicide or antisep tic. If our friend N. H. Implies that Ol' Doc Brady Is a nut about germs that's all right with me, but my honest opinion Is that infection rarely occurs from handling bus handles, stair rails, straps, ordinary door knobs, papers, books, paper or metal money, stamps, etc. As indicated, I have qualms only about touching things which may conceivably be freshly contaminated with disease germs. I do not believe any thing needs to be done about doorknobs, stair rails, etc., but I do believe there should be a rigid ordinance compelling everyone who sells food or drink to be consumed on the premises to provide adequate means for washing the hands.

Puget sound it Is foolish to ship them to a rolling mill in the east and then ship the fabricated aluminum back to the Boeing airplane plant at Seattle or the Lockheed or other plane fac tories in California. So there will be a rolling mill or fabri cating factory to take care of the ingots from the three govern ment plants and the Reynolds Metals Co. assuming that Al coa will continue shipping its ingots to its own rolling mills in the east. The Reyno'ds com pany, which has talked of in stalling a fabricating plant, will place it wherever Jesse Jones of RFC wants it to go. Oregon Is not being considered as a place for the fabricating plant. The insiders favor either Longview or Vancouver, with a leaning toward the old Hudson Bay company post. The real payroll of the aluminum busi- 1 n"s is ln the fabrication Somewhere In the picture Is the use of alunite near Enum claw, Wash., and in Utah. These two deposits are sufficient to last 10 years at heavy produc- tion annually. Government men sav. hnwpvrr. that the alunite process is tricky and not as simple or as well known as the reduction of bauxite from Dutch Guinea, source of raw material of Alcoa and Reynolds company.

Day A By Frank Jenkins dat; (about noon Monday) 1 ti.. this is the fruit of the world-shaking battle of the typewriters: The Germans claim:. Surrounding of two Russian armies, totaling about 400,000 men. and their imminent ae struction. Capture or destruction of 2.233 Russian tanks, including 48 52-tonners Capture or destruction of 1,297 Russian armored cars. Forty thousand Russian pris oners and 600 big guns taken Destruction of 4,107 Soviet planes. (The Germans candidly admit they lost 150 planes themselves.) 'THE red army (calling the Ger- man claims "boastful hum bug") gives its own figures as follows 2.500 German tanks de stroyed, with losses of only 900 Russian tanks. 1.500 German planes de stroyed, with a loss of only 850 Russian planes. 30.000 German prisoners tan- en, with a loss ol only ta.uuu Russian prisoners. THERE they are. Take your rhniro. On the face of statistics so far available, one Is forced to the conclusion that both sides are winning. UP to the hour this is written, however, the Japs haven't Jumped opto the Russians. Be fore going off the deep end, they seem to want more man statistics to go by. AMID the clatter of the type writers (in this preliminary phase of the fighting) keep these highly probable Hitler objec tives In mind: 1. Defeat and destruction of Russian military power, so that there will be no threat in his rear when he gets ready to tackle England for blood. 2. Taking over of European Russia's resources for use ln the long and world-wide war he foresees if he can't make peace after (or if) he smashes Russia A THOUGHT, however, at this " point: Review In your mind the Droeress of the war so far, You will be impressed by the fact that in his previous cam- riaiens Hitler has done his fighting FIRST and his talking afterward In Poland, ln France and in the Balkans, German claims In the early days of the fighting were restrained almost to the point of modesty. Optimistic stories came generally from the other side. The Germans seemed invar! ably willing to let final results speak for themselves. Now. suddenly, they are BOASTING AT THE START. WHY? " This writer doesn't know and doubts if anybody out side the German high command knows. This sudden change of tech nique strikes one as a trifle odd. THE point is that this sudden Russian onslaught, which Is wholly contrary to the assur ances that have been given to them, must strike the German people also as a trifle odd. That may explain the loud beating of the propaganda drums. Cashier For P. . Suicides In Auto Seattle, July 1 .CP) Cor oner Otto Mittelstadt said today ! Philip S.

W The discovery of six bodies one of them badly burned led searchers to believe today that all of the 35 members of a gay nlmle Dartv which set out Sun day on the 44-foot cabin cruiser Don might have perisnea uici fire swept the boat. The tragedy, worst in the memory of residents of this rocky coast, apparently occurred in the fog-enshrouded waters of Lower Casco bay while the par ty of Rumford, Me., residents was returning from Monhegan island, 40 miles from here in the open Atlantic. rn,t Guard Lieutenant Thomas Sampson, in charge of the search, said he believed the cruiser had exploded, probably while homeward bound. The first five bodies found were those of women. They were Identified as those of Miss Eliza beth Howard, Miss Ruth Hem ingway, Rumford housekeeper. Miss Bessie Strople, Rumford bank clerk. Miss Anne Stasulis, also a bank employe and Miss Arlene Skolfield, Rumfora oi fice worker. A sixth body, fourid on Orr's Island, was identified as that of Earl Decker, of Rumford. Anchorage, Alaska. July 1. CD A small scale gold rush, reminiscent of Alaska's most tur bulent historic chapter, is under way among a troop contingent stationed northeast of here. Thirty-three soldiers who had set up a tent city on the Little Susltna river last week-end found silver, mercury and cinna bar indications on claims where gold showings previously had been discovered. It started a miniature stampede. The sold iers installed a 30-foot sluice box, started rehabilitating an old barn for living quarters and be gan sinking a shaft toward bed rock in search of a free gold vein. The soldiers planned to spend their entire Fourth of July week-end in their quest. Maj. M. R. Marsten of the air corps is the group's leader. 3 Cairo, Egypt, July 1.
