Did Hess Try

unsolved mystery of Rudolph Hess.
. 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

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.

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

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

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

foods be cooked In order to prevent
loss or destruction of vitamins? (Mrs.

mins, and mineral; ealte likewise dis
solved out of the food by the hot

fruit In each meal. Greens are the
best sources of vitamin, and min

ital. 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. Some of the so-called

the United States maritime com
mission for another 300 freight
carriers, plus the 70S in the
existing plan. If this recommen

Roosevelt there is an excellent
prospect of more new shipyards
on the Columbia and Willam

of these additional freighters
may be made of wood, a sub

CLAUDE R. 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.

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.
