Much to this department this excursion is Mr. Wyeth last Liberty, which, as approves. we read the article, it typical quick-selling space-filler by a man with a good reputation anda wide knowledge of the war background, supplemented by a definitely romantic disposition. In other words it was take it very seriously. The Oregonian does, as the following conclusion demonstrates: What Is amiss with ltt Perhaps nothing of moment. It accords well with what the world had guessed, from semi revelations, and tha putting of two and two together for the general solution has been that Rudolph Hess was not a messenger from Hitler, but that he fled to escape with his life. The tale savors of Anthony Hope, expressed In present day mediums, but it ia far from being unreasonable. The only question It does not answer logically Is the question of why, If the Wythe Williams account is acceptable, the British, who have Rudolph Hess in custody, keep silent about tha facts of his flight. , "HAT is true, but there is Vnr if this T.ihorrv tal WitWa flnspsr friend, the circles he could trust, not ... . . conspired with uoenng to, u need De, Dump mm on, and liquidate von Ribbentrop as well. And why? nf Hprs hatred of Russia and his de termination to prevent a . i . a m Communism wmcn ne ieared was going imo enecu MOW does that make sense? ' Some may answer nothing in Nazi Germany makes sense. Which, to a certain extent, is true. But this hypothesis, we maintain, makes far less than a majority of them. for in the first place, Hess would be the last to beloved Fuehrer. Hess was not only an extremely fanatical party member, no personal ambitions whatever of his own. SECOND, if Hess did reach such a decision, it is Mnrriltr iinli'Velw Via umiilrl have rnnfiHerl in Goering, whom he knew well, and also knew to be extremely ambitious and ruthless, the last man in the world to team up with in derous adventure, unless of being double-crossed. But third and most important, why break with the Fuehrer on such an issue as Russia, when every close friend of Hitler's knew the deep and undying hatred of the ex-paper-hanger for Soviet Russia, and that sooner or later Russia off the Nazi slate. "THE Russo-Nazi non-aggression pact of 1939 may have fooled some, but it certainly couldn't have fooled trusted Nazis like Hess, nor did it fool Bill Shirer and other well-informed Berlin corres pondents, who were on the beneath the surface. A year ago, in fact, sooner or later Hitler would attack Russia, the only question being whether it the all out attack on Britain. Two dictators like Hitler and Stalin just couldn't get long as good neighbors on the same planet. Also does it seem probable that an impulsive and entirely unscrupulous paranoiac like Hitler suddenly informed his most trusted comrade and former prison mate had betrayed him, had not only turned against him, but had conspired to do him IN, would merely order Himmler to put the man into protective custody? This is hardly the approved Nazi technique. And if this WERE the sleuth and executioner like such a vital commission, fall for the old suicide gag, allow Hitler's Enemy No. 1 to go iip in a fast, well gassed pursuit plane, with only the traitor's own word that he would promptly crash to his death and make no effort to escape? AYBE SO ! Anything in as cockeyed a mad-house liri as Nazi Germany MIGHT happen. But the ques tion with such an article as this, is what are the proba bilities? What, considering all the known facts. probably DID happen? And the answer of this department to Mr. Wil liams' very readable, lurid, but unauthenticated, hypothesis, is the probabilities are all against him. FINALLY, there is the important point the Ore gonian raises. If this is the true story, if there WAS not only a break in the Nazi inner ring but Hess fled for hia life in a plane, after his failure to assassi nate the Reichsfuehrer, why in all that's plausible didn't that master of war propaganda, Winston Churchill, make the most of it? For we can think of nothing more discouraging to the totalitarian powers, nor more heartening to the allies than the definite knowledge of serious trouble in the Nazi ''high command, so serious that at any moment shooting within the ranks may start Such knowledge would boost the morale of everv allied commander and every soldier in the allied ranks; it would weaken the morale of every nation backing the totalitarian cause. It would, in short, mark the best and quickest route to world peace. that rrime Minister LnurchUI did not make the most of such an explanation is perhaps the best indi cation of all that it was not the correct one. to Kill Hitler? s surprise, its excuse for Williams' article in the a whole, the Oregonian impressed us as being a so full of holes we didn t much more than that is correct then Hess. onlv man in inner Nazi only broke with him, but a m .

William Brady, Ms U Camlne, Bnorle nulla, Calif, PLENTY Or SALT There Is a common notion that It Is unwise to eat salty things In very hot weather. Salt, In tha common belief, I n creases thirst and the more water you drink the greater the discomfort you will suffer, for of course you will sweat that much more. That is all wrong. As wrong as the old theory that It Is dangerous or at least harmful In some vague way to drink cold water when you are very warm and very thirsty. This latter is a companion obsession for the bane of happy childhood that taboo on going in swimming when you are flushed and over heated or right after dinner, a precaution which may be all right for fuss budgets with hard ened arteries, but should never, never be imposed upon a normal child or youth. During the hottest weather, or when you are working In ex treme heat, you sweat perhaps pints every hour, and you must drink water, cold as may be pleasant, in nearly the same quantity. Get the fact clearly in mind, it is not sweating that makes you uncomfortable. It is the heat (and the humidity) that makes you uncomfortable, and the Increased sweating is neces sary to prevent excessive heat ing of the body. The physiologi cal purpose of sweating is to cool the body (by evaporation of the water from the surface) and not to excrete or "throw off" any waste matter or poison. Thanks to free sweating you are able to endure extreme heat fairly well. If you did not sweat freely you would suffer serious injury heat stroke, heat ex haustion, heat cramps. When you sweat freely you excrete not only water but a large amount of salt. The body requires from one-fourth to one half ounce of salt in one form or another every day. At times of extreme heat, when sweating increases greatly, probably more than that amount is eliminated in the sweat in the course of a day, especially in the case of a man doing hard work In extreme heat. Therefore it is necessary to replace the salt so lost by taking that much salt in the course of the day. Experience has taught that if five or ten grains of ordinary salt (perhaps in tablet or cap sule) is taken along with each large drink of water when you Kelly's Comment From Washington Truth in Fabric Effective Today 300 Additional Freighters Aim Wickard Agencies To Aid Defense By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, July 14. Came July 14, and the sheep men of Oregon can point with pride to the truth-in-fabrlca bill which goes Into effect on this date. The consumer can look at the ticket on a pair of hose and know how much virgin wool is contained in the sox. This law, urged by wool grow ers for years and strenuously fought by manufacturers and dealers, was signed Oct. 14. 1940, by the president but In order to give the manufacturers time to comply the operation of the act was postponed until July 14. 1841. The wool products labeling act (official name) has had an upsetting effect especially on the makers of woolen hose for men. As far as known, tha law is not Inducing the manufac turers to use more wool as the sheepmen hoped but is forcing them to tell the world that the sox advertised as "100 percent virgin wool, lined with cotton" are In truth, 34 percent wool, 64 percent cotton. A SO percent wool faced hose shrinks, under the new label, to 18 percent and a 25 percent wool faced article appears as containing six percent. As many stores have a carryover stock It will be pos sible to purchase hose claiming 100 percent virgin wool and. on tha same article, tag con fessing that it Is 64 percent cot ton and only 36 percent wool. Oregon sheepmen urged such a bill from tne uregon legisla ture, but it was recognized that to be effective a national law would be required. The sheep men turned to Um national cap Brad M. D. IN HOT WEATHER ara exposed to extreme heat, there Is much less danger of heat exhaustion or heat cramps. Hence it is now the standard practice of mills and other places where employees work in extreme heat to provide a dis penser for salt tablets alongside the drinking font and urge everybody to take his or her salt ration with each drink of water. Any one can prove for him self that a drink of water, or other beverage is much more refreshing if taken along with a large pinch (five or ten grains) of salt when one is overheated or very thirsty after exposure to hot weather. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Herpes What causes "cold sore," that come, around the mouth, starting wth a blister, and healing very slow ly. (Mrs. K. H.) Answer Herpes is the medical term. Cause not positively known, perhaps a apeclflo Infection. The fluid from the little blisters contains a virus, and experimentally herpea may be Inoculated much as vaccinia Is, In vaccination against smallpox. In fact vaoclnatton against smallpox has brought marked relief In several cases of severe recurring herpes of the face involving the cornea of the eye. Good remedy at onset of simple herpes is frequent gentle daubing with spirits of camphor. Some per sons subject to frequent herpes paint the spot promptly with col lodion. Of course the surface must be perfectly dry and free from grease, else the collodion will not ad here. Pyorrhea Rave you any advice for one who has pyorrhes? (M. O. B.) Answer send stamped envelope bearing your address, for pamplet "Pyorrhea. Cooking Please Inform me whether vita mins are lost In cooking fruits and vegetable.? If so, how should such foods be cooked In order to prevent loss or destruction of vitamins? (Mrs. R. K.) Answer Oulck high heat less de structive than prolonged moderate heating. More or less destruction In evitably occurs In cooking. Consider able loss occurs from the hot water dissolving vitamins.

Each time the truth-ln-fab-rics measure came to a hearing a batUe royal developed, and the manufacturers won, with the assistance of wholesale and retail dealers. On the side of the wool Industry were only the consumers, and the most urgent advocates were women. The wo men wanted to know whether they were buying virgin wool or shoddy and, if a mixture, what percentage of each. At long last the sheepmen and the consumers were trium phant, but only after crossing swords with most of the mills of the country, the big stores and the wholesalers. The south was opposed, for cotton had been masquerading as wool. If a man wishes to buy a suit of shoddy he can do so, but the tag on the suit will show in plain figures that the mater ial is shoddy and not virgin wool.

The woolen shirts will be properly stamped; also the bathing suits and the blankets. see AWAITING presidential ap proval Is a recommendation of the United States maritime com mission for another 300 freight carriers, plus the 70S in the existing plan. If this recommen dation is acceptable to Mr. Roosevelt there is an excellent prospect of more new shipyards on the Columbia and Willam ette. It is possible that some of these additional freighters may be made of wood, a sub ject close to the heart of the Pacific northwest and which has been pressed upon the com mission and the navy by mem bers of the Oregon and Wash ington delegations. The existing program of 70S ships Includes 383 of the long range plan (approximately 100 have been delivered!, and the "ugly ducklings" and of these 112 are to be delivered to Brit ain, the remainder to carry the American flag.

WICKARD, sec retary of agriculture, is estab lishing a defense board in every county in Oregon and is in structing hi various agencies to become members. For the state the secretary has selected Ro bert Taylor of Oregon State col lege as chairman. On the state defense board, associated with Taylor, will be a field officer from state director of extension, triple A, bureau of agricultural economics, soil conservation ser vice, forest service, surplus mar keting administration. In each of the 36 counties the county chairman of triple A will serve as chairman and he will have as associates field men in the county who are, representing the different agencies. In some counties, of course, an agency. such as REA or forest service, has no field officer or repre sentative. Principal duty of these coun ty boards is to aid farmers in making adjustments of farm production and at the same Ume pursue soil conservation prac tices. The farm credit adminis tration is to look after any farm financing necessary, and sur plus marketing administration's mission is obvious. Several weeks will be required to com plete the organization as a going concern. Editorial Comment Medford Character Disappears For more than a few years Arthur Perry, author of the Medford Mail Tribune's column, Ye Smudge Pot, has been ably assisted in his literary stint by a feline character styled "the Elks' old tomcat." That is to say, this tomcat-ward of a great fraternal order was more than occassionally employed as a character In Mr. Perry's col umn, to such degree that almost he had risen, in the public fancy, to the status of assistant director. To the best of our recollection the columnist never has described the Elks' tomcat save by the adjective of age and the designation of sex. Yet as the slow, fleet seasons passed and the meanderings and mar audings and meouwings of the tomcat repeatedly were chron icled, and engagingly, one came to feel that one knew him well, the cynic eye of him, -the moth- eaten but valiant tail, the Jaunty, swaggering intrepidity. And this is mentioned for the reason that recently Mr. Perry reported, in the Smudge Pot, that for a matter of two weeks the Elks' old tomcat has been absent from his accustomed haunts in the clubroom, and though rumor has it that he has been seen in various far places none of these accounts has been substantiated. "Hope," sighs Mr, Perry, "has about faded ... he is ten years old." In the vernal period of a tomcat's life, when all the geese are swans, an ab sence of a fortnight might pass without other than lightest if suggestive remark but, as the columnist intimates, the Elks' old tomcat has begun the de scent, as the moon of the tom cats declines, and in any case it is late In the season for him to neglect the more substantial comforts of existence for the illusions of romance and the spurious glory of combat It may, indeed, be that some strange ash can now affords a resting place for his heroic but weary remains; or some weed patch to which the crows are stooping. For he ought to have been home long ago, at his time of life. When a cat is a omcat and also an Elk by adoption, and likewise a sort of newspaper man, as assistant to a columnist, and that columnist Arthur Perry, heaven alone, in any in stance, knows when the cat will come stalking out of the gloam ing. In addition to the natural excitements and impulses to which any proper tomcat is heir he has acquired three hazards not common to tomcats and we may fear, as does Mr. Perry, and the B.P.O.E., that which is gloomily styled the worst. Yet we once knew a cat, of the masculine gender, who by posi tive count squandered not nine but twenty-seven lives, and lived to breathe peacefully his last on a cushion at home, in an odor of catnip and sanctity. On this, as well as similar observa tion, we consider it at least even money that the Elks' old tom cat has yet to finish his saga. Kittyl kittyl kitty! The Ore gonian.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued from page One) vealed a strange turn in internal political affairs. It is true as advertised in the debate that the main job was done by the CIO, but the strange unpublicized part of it was that the CIO apparently enjoyed the private support of such opposing elements as the White House and some Republican leaders of the house. CIO President Philip Murray slipped in to see Mr. Roosevelt several days before the vote. Legislative agents for CIO im mediately thereafter went among .house members and cir culated the information that the president was opposed to any legislation against strikes. This carried powerful weight. but not enough to have accom plished the defeat of the legis lation. The margin that was needed was furnished by Repub licans who voted with Mr. Roosevelt and CIO. Republican cloakroom conver sation afterward Included some reasons not offered in debate. Some Republicans have grown tired of the party line against defense strikes. They murmur that even Incompetent Democra tic legislators have been able to keep themselves in office in labor districts just because the Republicans always voted in ac cordance with their consciences instead of in accord with labor politics. The alteration of emphasis along this line is apt to become permanent. e AT the president's last confer ence with congressmen on foreign policy, a legislator brought up published reports of internal dissension in Germany. An administration authority thereupon replied his reports out of Russia indicated there were probably worse. Farming classes are not cooperating in the war policy. Gold Hill Gold Hill, July 14.
