American naval forces have
landed on Iceland, as a protect
ive measure against any Nazi
aggression plans against the
Western hemisphere. They pick
ed out fine local weather for it.
The war bulletins from both
Berlin and Moscow are at ex
treme variance, as the better
lawyers say, and the truth is not
in reports of the combatants.
The dead and wounded never
run less than six figures. It's a
minor engagement, if only 250,
000 of the foe bite the dust ln a
forenoon of slaughter. There is
promise, it will be terrific as
long as the ciphers hold out. In
the contradictory maze of mes
sages, there is -a note of hope for
the Red army. Berlin reports
"along the Dnepr the enemy is
folding back." This is better
than "folding up," as happened
in France,. by pre-arrangement
with politicians and generals
with ODen paws behind their
back.

From over the state comes re
ports of intrepid autoists who
catapulted approximately 2.900
miles in three days in observance

Spartan endurance. If this
wasted energy could be hooked
up with an axe and cross-cut
saw on the next double holiday
(Labor Day), they would get
their winter's wood cut, and
have enough left over to start
fuel company.
...
The state game commission
prohibits the use of rifles ln
shooting Chinese Pheasants the
coming fall. Only shotguns are
legal weapons. Thus a hunter
resting on a log and mistaken
for a bird roosting on a pumpkin
stands chance to escape with
nothing more serious than a .bb
shot ln the loose flesh of his
neck.

The women of Italy are re-
ported irked by Mussolini's order

Herr Hitler at Brenner Pass.

Welcome, "Medford s Own"
WELCOME to the boys of "Company A," and
"Headquarters Co." too, they are in the army
now and are to have two or three days at home!
Special arrangements have been made with the
Weather Man to have no such heat as prostrated
some of the lads at Redding; and the cool nights
will be illuminated by a full, we trust not TOO
full, moon.
There will be a dance, the proceeds of which will
augment the company's mess fund; there will be at
least one day parade and one night floor show; there
will be other wholesome diversions and in every in
stance Medford's "beauty and chivalry should be
there!"
at e
1IITH its usual enterprise, enthusiasm and effic-
iency in such matters, the Medford Legion has
everything arranged for a welcome to "Medfords
Own" that will be a pleasure while it lasts, and a
pleasant memory thereafter.
IEMOCRACY is on trial today as never before,
as we see it the crisis is the most serious in at
least 80 years, perhaps of all time.
No one wants war. Every sane and decent human
being hates it. But there is a totalitarian mad-dog
loose which only war, only superior force, can
subdue.
These local boys have agreed to do their bit in that
all-important job. It's no easy one, far from a
pleasant one. But it must be done and they, and
young Americans like them, must do it.
So more power to them, and a hearty welcome.
The Bear Has Claws
A GAIN, by reading between the lines,' it appears
Herr Hitler has a bear by the tail and can't let go.
Of course the offensive is still "on schedule,"
that has been the German claim now for over two
weeks.
But what IS the schedule, and what was it?
No one but the German High Command knows.
A ND it is significant that the High Command,
" which has been the most trustworthy source of
military information, in any nation, since the start
of World War No. 2, makes, and for several days
has made, no claims whatever of breaking the
Stalin line, no claims of any sensational victories,
in fact, for nearly ten days.
More than that.
Fields strewn apparently with Russian dead sud
denly spring to life and unwary German troops are
mowed down in their tracks. Panzer squad after
panzer squad roar by cleverly camouflaged case
ments, and then suddenly the camouflage drops off
and the aforesaid panzers are caught in the rear by
a murderous Soviet fire.
These aren't RUSSIAN claims. They are
GERMAN admissions; examples of "Russian treach
ery" dished up to the German people AT THE
PRESENT TIME!
CO while the final outcome of the battle of Russia is
in doubt, and Nazi mechanized forces might yet
prevail, all doubt has been removed that the latest
surprise of this surprising war is the resourcefulness,
stamina and fighting quality of the Red Army.
What looked like a push-over is proving to be the
hardest nut to crack Der Reichsfuehrer and his
mechanized legions have tackled yet
Even more important one doesn't have to credit
any of the wild claims of Stalin's press agents to
establish this fact.
All one has to do is to read between the lines of
Germany's own reports and interpret the G.H.C.
bulletins in the light of the established record.
Tt is the German, not the Russian, story.

For this occupation of

And according to the tri-partite treaty, Japan

Germany, when and if the United States. or any
uninvolved world power, went in to aid Britain.
CO there is Japan's dilemma and what the harassed

secret councils of the Japanese war party this July

KO THROWBACK
Several times you have stated
that the so-called "throwback"
birth of a black child to parents
one or both of
whom, tho evi
dently white,
have a trace of
Negro blood
is a supersti
tion. I have
discussed this
question with
some medical
men here and
they seem to
agree . . How
ever, soma M.
D.i tn govern

throwback may occur In tha hu
man family In accordance with
the Mendellan law or theory of
recessive traits. Will you kindly
give me some established work
as an authority recognized by
the medical profession, which I
may cite for my medical friends
they refuse to recognlre you
as an authority. (H.J.F.)
Wouldn't it be more In order
for those who insist such a
"throwback" can or does some
times happen In the human fam
ily to cite authentic instances?
Not yarns or legends or stories
second .hand, but actual ins
tances. I do not know how one would
set about proving something
that has not or does not hap
pen. If it happens it would be
much easier to point out the
fact, say "there it Is", and leave
It for whoever might seek to
deny it. ,
Perhaps the government docs
were pulling our correspond
ent's leg.
Mendel's 'Haw", on which
modern scientific conceptions of
heredity are based. Is usually il
lustrated by the guinea pig ex
periment. If black and white
varieties of guinea pigs are
crossed the offspring are all
black. The black seems to cover
up or wipe out the white and is
therefore called "dominant", yet
in some of the black offspring
the tendency or potentiality to
revert to white is still present,
and Is called "recessive".
Mating of these black guinea
pigs may produce some black
and some white offspring gen
erally three-fourths of the young
are black, one-fourth are white.
Some of these blacks of the third
generation will breed true that
is, their young will be all black;
some will have three-fourths
black, one-fourth white young;
and mating of the whites may
produce all white offspring.

ments. That would put him up
against the first of September.
This would be an ideal time
to Invade England but he can
not be ready then. You will re
member the six weeks lull in air
attacks on Britain while Hitler
was getting ready for the Rus
sian campaign. He could not
keep his British attack going
while overhauling and reconcen
trating his first line air strength
for the Russian venture. It will
take him longer now to over
haul them again after combat
and put them on runways head
ed for London. It would take
him much longer, because the
British have been pasting these
runways and nearby embarka
tion points dally and nightly,
and will continue to do so.
THESE facts pin Hitler down
to October, the start of bad
weather, and something far
worse the rising peak of Amer
ican plane production. By fall,
we should have enough bombers
and pursuit ships in England to
let Britain gnin actual superior
ity in the immediate air over
anything Hitler can offer, in
view of his losses with the Reds,
tie cannot rapture and use
enough from the Russians to
make much difference.
What these tacts seem to say
Is that Hitler ha lost his chance
of crushing the British. He can
not win without invading and
he cannot Invade without ac
quiring local air superiority, the
prospects of which are going to
decline rapidly from now on.
THE naii's fall campaign is
therefore very likely to shift
to the peace front, as Eden ha'!

What terms Hess carried to
England are not known, but be
fore he flew over, the nazis tried
to get the Swiss government to
offer a world peace proposal
pledging that Britain and the
Empire remain untouched. The
next offer will start from that
point.
Hitler can afford to withdraw
from France, maintain buffer
states in Scandinavia and the
lowlands (taking Belgium's Afri
can colonies, no doubt), giving
Italy nothing, except possibly
worthless Ethiopia. He could
even afford to let France keep
her colonies, and international

CROM all that Churchill and

British intend to turn him down.
If they ever have a weak mo

Mr. Roosevelt will see that they
turn him down. The basic Roose

no peace with a man whose
word is worthless, or with a re
gime of untrustworthy military
ruthlessness. Mr. Roosevelt
would certainly fight such a
peace.

Grim Picture
For Taxpayers
Income Levies
Will Hit Hard
Pear League
Get Answer
Br John W. KsUt
Washington. D. C, July 8.
Rapidly the picture is unfolding
of what the citizens of Oregon
will soon be paying to meet
some of the lend-lease bills and
national defense. The personal
income tax will not be collected
until next March on this year's
income, but a long list of taxes
will be imposed and collected
as soon as the tax bill can be
enacted.
It Is safe to say that the Indi
vidual income taxes in Oregon
collected on 1941 income will
exceed $9,000,000 (collections in
1940 were some $3,574,943);
corporate taxes will be higher
than that sum.
The federal government will
collect $2,250,000 from Oregon
motorists plus $120,000 from
truck operators. This will be
all new money and will come
from the levy of $5 car; same
as the annual fee charged by
the state. A government tax on
all automobiles (there were 32,-
452.861 in the United States in
1940) is a painful novelty. There
are 71,733 motorboats registered
in Portland and these will be
subject to the $5 tax( or another
$38,665 of new money.
Oregon state liquor commis
sion will have to pay another
$1 a gallon for distilled spirits
which, of course, will be paid by
consumers. This will increase
the price of liquor 25 cents a
quart, or 20 cents for a fifth of
a gallon of Scotch, The commis
sion sent representative to the
national capital to protest that
an increased liquor tax would
bring back the bootlegger, but
after arriving here the repre
sentative discovered that it was
useless to try to talk the ways
and means committee out of the
notion. Tax on wines will be
double the present impost. This
will probably affect the business
of wine stores In Portland.
...
AT the end of the month the
consumer will be charged 5 per
cent tax on the amount of his
telephone bill. Oregon has suc
cessfully resisted a sales tax
each time it was proposed, but
Uncle Sam has his own sales
tax; he will charge 5 per cent
on gum and candy and to make
certain the kiddies pay their
share of the tax burden an ad
mission tax is laid on all tickets
down to 9 cents. Possibly the
movies will absorb the tax sold
the youngsters for Friday nights
and Saturdays. Cigar stores are
"tight" giving away matches,
ditto hotels and other establish
ments which use paper matches
for advertising purposes, for
these matches will be taxed 2
cents per 1000.
Despite protests from Oregon
that a musical instrument is not
a luxury, the ways and means
committee has decided these in
struments should be subject to a
10 per cent tax, the same as the
tax placed on Jewelry.
A real soaker, however. Is the
5 percent on railroad, airplane,
bus and steamer tickets. Any
picket ' costing more than 35
cents (a commuters' ticket) will
have the 5 percent added.
. e
A FLAT 10 percent tax will
be collected on radio parts (al
ready taxed 8.5 percent) and the
same amount on phonograph
records. Wishing to be big-hearted,
the committee exempts from
taxation all automobiles operat
ed by the federal government,
state owned machines and those
of counties and cities. These to
tal. In Oregon, several thousand.
Nor will the committee advocate
an Increase of the 1.5 cents a
gallon tax on gasoline, nor cur
rent taxes on tobacco, sugar, tea
or coffee, although the treasury
thought here was a source of
revenue to be tapped. However,
long distance phone calls will
cost more than ever and the tax
on telegrams (including birth
day greetings, sung or unsung)
has been upped.
Undecided yet is whether a
tax should be placed on the dog
races in- Portland. The pari
muluels take a cut from the bet
ting and turn the rest over to the
.slate of Oregon. A somewhat
similar arrangement Is In vogue
in other states. Banner! as Ininni.
tous in many states is the slot
machine and the committee ex
pects to decide shortly what to
do about them. Juke boxes are
still exempt but patrons of such
night clubs as exist In Oregon
will have to pay a tax on top of
their bill. Just what constitutes
a night club Is a problem but
the committee is wrestling with
a definition; perhaps any place
where there is eating and danc
ing, there beirg no drinks sold
retail in Oregon.

TODAY'S (Monday's) war
n.uta In m nutshell:
The Germans assert the Sta
lin line has been broken, claim
inar that nazi trooDS have
pierced the main Soviet defense
system at several points.
The Russians declare the Ger
man offensive has been blocked
on the WHOLE FRONT, with
the Red army seizing the olten
sive and hurling the Germans
back in five sectors.
WHY these directly conflicting
claims?
Two explanations are pos
sible. The battle Is spread out over
a vast area. So vast that both
sides can be picking out favor
able stories to tell.
WITHOUT lying. Just telling
the good and overlooking the
bad.
TTHE other explanation Is that
ln Germany and Russia the
folks back home don't get ALL
the news. They get only what
their masters think is good for
them.
They can be shot for listening
to the wrong radio reports.
THESE w-orld conquerors have
always fought with one eye
on the people at home.
Remember that at Pultusk
where Napoleon had been badly
mauled by the Russians, he
rushed a courier back to Paris
to announce that he had won
a brilliant victory.
Luckily for him, he did win
shortly afterward at Frledland.
A LONG this same general
" line, today s wires carry
this interesting dispatch from
Moscow:
"The Soviet supreme council
decreed two to five years im
prisonment today for dissemina
tion of false rumors likely to
alarm the populace.
That, of course, is primarily
directed at German fifth col
umnists operating behind, the
Russian lines, but it could easily
be made to cover news of a
Russian trouncing.
I7ROM the Russian side comes
" today the story tnat the Ger
mans are using fake tanks made
of wood and canvas.
It is vouched for by Junior
Lieutenant Subchenko, who was
using his binoculars and saw a
German tank column ' moving
up to the front. The column
stopped. A German officer got
out and leaned an elbow against
a tank. The wall GAVE under
the pressure.
Of the 20 tanks In the col
umn, Subchenko reports, only
one was genuine. The others
were wood and canvas phonies.
rls swell tale. Full of color.
And PROBABLY TRUE.
But don't Jump wishfully to
the conclusion that Hitler is get
ting short on tanks. Deception
is as old as war, and he was
probably using these phantom
monsters to fool the Russians.
Moscow reports that when
night came the phony tanks
were destroyed along with their
unfortunate crews, thus turning
the deception back on its per
petrators. Anyway, it must be conceded
that Junior Lieutenant Sub
chenko, whose sharp eyes de
tected the fraud, is a smart
yc ig man. It s a good thing
for Stalin he didn't get caught
in a blood purge.
IF you are Inclined to be con-
fused by these conflicting
stories as to who Is licking
whom, note that Japan at noon
Monday was still sitting on the
fence.
Japan has a grand spy sys
tem, and must know far more
about the real facts of this ti
tanic struggle between Hitler
and Stal.n than we ordinary
readers of the papers can hope
to know.
When Japan bites Stalin sud
denly anj viciously In the leg.
