B C. 4l4$ocuTin Ye Smudge Pot Br Arthur Perry It If more than hinted by various molders of public opin ion, that now is a good time to tend American Communita homegrown and alien back to Russia. In the first place, Rus sia has its hands full with the nazl invaders; secondly, the ex iled Reds would probably start battling for democracy, just to be obstinate. "MAN SCALJED IN HAIR RAISING CRASH" (Modoc Times) Neat trick. Queer behavior of the vege table kingdom is reported from Eugene, with a potato vine pro ducing spuds underground, and tomatoes on the top vines. There is no sign of mayonnaise dressing dripping from the leaves. PROBLEM OF PROPRIETY (NY. Sun) "A true lady, when kissed by her escort on the way home in a taxi-cab, will not show resentment even if she does not feel it. But the lady who in similar circumstances is not kissed will conceal her resentment, no matter how much it hurts. These maxims are, I believe, self-evident, but never found In books on etiquette." Citizens who Journeyed to Klamath Co. to make the eagle scream, report the aborigines were driving like behind-time Californlans. 1 The recent edict of Premier Mussolini of Italy forbidding the womenfolks of his land wearing slacks in public was not ob served at any of the gathering places in this county. It is re ported two of the gentler sex on a holiday wore skirts. Salem Is now in the throes of a civic controversy over park ing meters, and their installa tion. Tha Salem Statesman, editorially entertains "the belief that it's unconstitutional; we're certain that it would be a nui sance." There is also a poignant ache in tha pocketbook as fol lows: "Are you old enough to re member a time when people carried their money, even their small change, in purses? That was the time when it was possible to go about your busi ness or Indulge in your habl ual pleasures, without con stantly reaching into a pocket for small change. Nowadays everything you do costs some thing and a coin purse is use less; you'd wear out the fast ener in no time at all." "Honest Christian girl will take bets to track for a few pri vate parties. No bookies. Box Y-38 Times." (Ad In Los An geles Times) "The Lord giveth, and the Lord takcth away." The government has allotted $300,000 to guard the timber of the Northwest from firebugs the coming season.

One side says one thine. the other the exact reverse, so the innocent bystander, trying to get some light on the problem is inclined to give up in disgust , Now and then an item dribbles through the con flicting claims, however, which is significant and enlightening. From Berlin, for example, comes a semi-official report the Russian soldiers are holding up far better than the French a year ago. Coming from such a source, that admission must express the truth and therefore is extremely im portant It also conforms to a pattern which the present conflict has followed from the outset namely: that what is expected to happen never does. COR the record will show that when this war broke out, the French army was unanimously awarded first prize as the best all-around army in Europe. Russia was rated as fair, but after the flop in Finland, dropped down almost as low as Italy, undisputed occupant of last place. The sad truth has recently become apparent, however, that this "best" French army of a year ago wasn't beaten, but QUIT. Or to express it in another way, the army touted as the best in Europe, proved to be the worst; it lacked the first requisite for any good army, the will-to-fight. And the army that before its entrance was con ceded to be close to the bottom, now shows a better fighting spirit than the French, and at the present writing, is throwing several car-loads of monkey wrenches into the Nazi Blitzkrieg machine, which nereioiore nas naa such a ALL of which is encouraging. b uuraii b jiicoii necessarily ine soviet noraes will defeat Germany.

DENTISTS SHOULD BE DOCTORS Tha few friends tha conduc tor of this column had in the dental profession, with rare ex ceptions, wash ed their hands of him when ha laun c h e d his ill-f a t e d one-man move ment to re strict to medi cat practltiofl era tha use of tha trademark "Doctor" and to Identify the dental practi tioner as "Den- tor." All wa have to add to that is wow. For years before that sad tactical error, old timers will recall, a voice in tha wilderness has been crying for a closer co operation or a rapprochment between the family physician and tha family dentist. It was only two years ago that den tistry attained the age of a hundred years as a detached branch of medicine we need not attempt to fix responsibil ity for tha divorce on either party now and perhaps the most noteworthy event of the centennial was the closing of the dental school of Harvard university (which was opened in 1868 and gave graduates the degree of D.M.D., Doctor of Dental Medicine most dentists have the degree D.D.S., Doctor of Dental Surgery) and Institu tion by Harvard of a system of education consistent with mod ern progress. Hereafter Harvard will require students who in tend to practice dentistry to complete the regular medical course and obtain the degree of M.D. firsts-then the Doctors may take the additional training and technical instruction re quired to qualify a physician to practice in this special field of medicine and surgery. Har vard trained dentists will be welcomed to the medical soc ieties and the medical profes sion. A news item tells of plans now being put into effect in celebration of the 109th anni versary of the founding of Uni versity of Louisville, which will combine classes for the first two years of the dental course with those for the first two years of the medical course that is, the first two years of study may be counted toward either a medical or a dental de gree. It sounds a bit timid. Why News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Page One) to come tha first time these or ders conflict. Tha pending auto difficulties will probably bring matters to a showdown. Tha blowup may not be long delayed thereafter. SOME one should Jack up Joe Stalin and tell him he Is not calling off the Mlcheners and Currans in the American labor movement fast enough. Appar ently they have not been in formed of tha change in the party Una around to favoring American martial production. Tha Peace Mobilization, The Daily Worker at al apparently got their calls from Moscow through all right, as they have completely changed face. From picketing Mr. Roosevelt as a warmonger, they have skipped around for all out aid to Mos cow, thereby proving again inci dentally where their real inter ests lie. But Mr. Lew Michener. the fomenter of the North Ameri can aviation outlaw strike, Is still complaining against the U. S. labor mediation board agree ment in the case, and apparently wants to strike some more, now that the troops are out of the plant. The board gave the work ers a wage Increase and a main tenance of members contract, something which the United Mine Workers sought for 20 years before they obtained It. This means all union members must remain in the union dur ing the life of the contract and all new workers must Join. Yet Mr. Michener howled In a tele gram to CIO President Philip Murray. Mr. Murrav replied In effect that If Michener would spend more time organising new members and less time making false statementa. It would be better for CIO. e JOE Curran s peace plcketers left the White House picket line 24 hours before Hitler in vaded Russia, but Joe is tying up Great Lakes shipping with OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 7, 1941. Brady M. O. only two years? Why not the full four years of medical school and the degree of M.D. for every graduate and whatever additional training the young doctor may need to fit Him for practice as a specialist, if he so elects? Louisville will per mit the graduate in medicine to obtain a dental degree with two additional years of study, or the graduate in dentistry to obtain a medical degree with two ad dltlonal years of study. Well, anyway, it is a fine gesture and maybe it will amount to the same thing In tha end. JIISTIONS AND ANSWERS HmI Stroke Husband baa betn overcome by the heat on two occasions.

Calif. demands that the seamen's con tract expires in June at the height of the shipping season, so ha can make future strikes hurt. Tha companies want it to expire when tha lakes are frozen over. At first Curran asked a wage Increase equal to the pay re ceived by licensed personnel. When the companies agreed, he hiked his demand higher. Mr. Curran says his strike Is not a strike, but that the men Just will not work for the wages they are getting. By this tech nique he hopes to avoid the ob vious charge that he is striking against defense. His union is considered the most communist of all, yet it appears that Stalin may be re quired to send over a couple of purgers or liquidators to inform him gently in the Russian man ner that Stalin does not like HiUer anymore. Otherwise, it appears American defense ship ping will continue to suffer. By Frank Jenkins RfJOSCOW today (Saturday) asserts that in spite of three days Of continuous assault the Germans have been unable to cross the Berezina river, adding that 750.000 Germans have been killed, wounded and captured and the best divisions of the German army smashed. The Germans say the Bere zina has been crossed in sev eral places and they're rolling on toward the Dnepcs and the Stalin line. You can still take your choice. TURN your eyes for a moment to Japan, who announced Friday that she Is "consider Ing" an extension of her terri torial waters to shut off Russian Vladivostok from American aid.

In The SDays : News DRITISH bomber frlday night raided Germany for tha 24th tlma in 26 nights. Watch these British air raids into Germany. If they continue, they will be significant. Among other things (If con tinued) they will test out Ger man morale. Remember It was GERMAN morale that broke in tha last war. It might break again. Es pecially If HiUer should LOSE A BATTLE. DUSSIAN losses have unquas tionably been terrible. But don't expect Russia, appalled by her casualties, to five up at once. There is no historical precedent for such a conclusion. Whatever else they may have been, the Russians have proved often enough to be tough fighters. MAPOLEON found that out at 41 Eylau, where tha Russian guards died stubbornly In wind rows and nearly upset his ap plecart by their determined re sistance. He had found It out at Pul tusk, where the Russians, fight ing with desperate bravery, held him to a doubtful draw. Nap oleon announced In Paris that he had won a brilliant victory at Pultusk and, thanks to the slow communications of those days, got away with It Claims of overwhelming vic tory couldn't be relied on In Napoleon's day any more than now. THE hard-fighting Russians might have stopped Nap oleon in 1807 but for the fact that their leader, the Tsar Alex ander, was a sap. Incompetent leadership, rather than the lack of fighting stamina on tha part of her people, has been Russia's great handicap. Incompetently led and poor ly armed, the Russians fnncM for nearly three years in the world war. When their morale finally broke and the revolution started in 1917. they were fight ing the Germans practically witn weir bare hands. WHATEVETwamay think of " Stalin, whatever we may think of communism, let's not defame the Russian muzhik as a fighter. Time after time, he has proved himself ready to stand and die. CPEAKING of' slaughter, let's take a hasty look here at our own: Total violent deaths in the United States for Friday, with two days of the three-day Fourth of July holiday still to go. amounted to 233. with traf fic fatalities accounting for 151. California's Frldav deaths to taled 23, Washington's 12 and Oregon's eight. Kelly's Comment From Washington Ship Needed To Supply Bases Busy Days for Senator McNary Miscalculators Leaving Service By Jobs W. Kelly, Washington, D. C, July 7. Kenneth Dawson, formerly of Portland, now of San Francisco, nearly lost his shirt to the United States maritime commission last week. Mr. Dawson (once Repub lican state treasurer, raising funds for the GOP) is a steam ship operator, managed the States line out of Portland to the Orient before he went to San Francisco. Maritime commission was reaching out for the five freight ers which Dawson operates be tween Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Columbia river and Puget sound, and planned disposing of the company and tossing Daw son and his office force "on the beach." Protest to Admiral Land of the commission drew the re tort that It was "too bad" but the commission needed the boats. However, a little amendment was offered to pending legisla tion giving the commission con trol over all the American flag ships and Admiral Land was willing to compromise. Instead of taking 100 percent of the snips he would take but 80 per cent and leave Dawson with 40 percent to service the tidewater sawmills of the Pacific north west. Here Is what was back of the commission's program: Govern-j ment has given good contracts to associates of Henry J. Kaiser to build bases for the army and navy at Honolulu. Wake island. Midway island. Guam. Dredgers' have been rented lone from the I Port of Portland! and taken to I the islands. Workmen have been I gathered up from Grants Pass to Everett. Wash., and have been shipped in transports to the various destinations. Mere workers were needed, but most pressing need Is to get cement.! crushed rock, lumber, lime, nails and whatever it Ukes to these! bases, for with the exception of! Honolulu there Isn't even soil on the coral islands. Tha con-' Tractors want to tha maritime commission, said ships were needed to keep them In supplies, and as this is national defense the commission decided that Dawson's line would fit into the picture. The commission planned to turn these five boats over to the President Line, operating out of San Francisco, and have that company manage them. The Dawson outfit could have been used, but the commission de cided that as the President line is subsidized by tha government it Is virtually a government owned operation. And that Is where three of the boats will go. e e THESE ara busy days for Ore gon's Charley McNary, Republi can senate leader. As head of tha "loyal opposition" It is his Job to see that the senate works to a program. Democratic Lead-! er "Dear Alben" Barkley has: been in a hospital for a month. Senator Jimmy Byrnes, who I would ordinarily pinch hit, is to become an associate Justice of the supreme court at the new term and he is busy brushing up on rules and procedure (pos sibly on Blackstone). Senator Pat Harrison, who was president , pro tempore of the senate and a close friend of Senator McNary, has passed on, after being in a hospital several months. Henry A. Wallace, vice-president, is absent. Normally, the Republican and the Democratic leaders make up the legislative program, but now with tha Democratic top men sick, dead or too preoccupied with other matters, the task has fallen upon Charley Mack's shoulders, for even the assistant Republican leader, Senator Aus tin, is absent. The result Is that McNary has to figure out some thing with Byrnes, ride to the hospital and discuss the situa tion with "Dear Alben," return to the capitol and talk over the general program with two or three senators who are recog nized as 100 percent new deal ers. THE miscaleulators (mostly $1 a year men) are resigning. That they miscalculated was not their fault, but there is demand for a sacrificial goat for failure of anyone to foresee the de mands made upon Industry when the president announced the United States would be the arse nal of democracy. The adminis tration started out picking tip top men in Industry, men who knew the resources of everything from rubber to power. Until two months ago there appeared to be enough of everything from rub ber to power. Until two months ago there appeared to be enough of everything, but with all-out aid to Britain as well as supply ing American requirements, shortages appeared: power, gaso line aluminum, steel, copper, tin, tungsten, chromite, rubber, zinc and dozens of other articles. The demand was beyond the wildest dreams: army and navy were staggered when they real ized what should be acquired. Stiffening of Russian Resistance With Slowing of Hitlerian Drive Noted at Opening of Third Week By DeWitt MacKensle Associated Press Analyst Marked stiffening of Russian resistance to the nazi invasion and a slowing down of the Hitlerian drive are the outstanding developments at the beginning of the third week of the Russo Gerrnan holocaust. Not only has there been al hardening of the Bolshevist de fense, but Moscow reports heavy soviet counter -attacks from north to south along the attenu ated battle-line, especially in the crucial center on the bloody Ber ezina river. This demonstration that the Reds still possess the power of Initiative Is a .bright spot for Britain and her allies. The fact that the Bolshevists are able to stage any sort of offensive, after the fortnight of terrific punish ment which they have under gone, Is proof that their strength for resistance hasn't been shat tered. It would be a mistake, how ever, to Jump to the conclusion that the nazl operations have bogged down. It would be equal ly unwise to try to form definite conclusions at this Juncture as to how much the Muscovite strength may have been under mined. There Is no doubt that the communists' fierce opposition has retarded Hitler's invasion in marked degree, and likely has upset the German schedule, which calls for extreme speed. It Is even possible that this delay may be the determining factor of the outcome of this titantic struggle. Still. It must not be overlook ed that the nazi drive would have slowed of Its own weiiht and exertions. The Germans have raced across a vast amount of territory. Not only are their communications extended, but since the human body can stand only so much, the nazi troops must oe given a breather. Fur thermore, the Invaders now be ing up against the Stalin line, they must slacken their offens ive In order to consolidate their posltion and bring up supplies W"e are on the verge of an other phase of one of the great est, perhaps the greatest, strug gles of all time. We must wait to see what happens along the Sa-' Came then widespread com- L plaint that tha defense plans had fallen behind, that "anyone with an ounce of sense should hsva known" (but no one did), and Secretary Ickes laid the blama for everything on the Aluminum Company of America for not telling OPM that the government would order 12,000 bombers year and many thousands of other planes. Gano Dunn re tired, Mr. Kellogg retired, and a hatchet man is now going through the divisions of OPM lopping off the head of everyone who made a bad guess. The new dealers were as ignorant of tha requirements as were tha indus trialists, but they have convinced someone that it Is all the fault of the men from big business.
