Review) "Salem Is again arguing over installing parking meters. We don't give a bang whether they do or whether they don't, just so they do something about the parking problem downtown.

He gruffly told tnem, uei away from me," when they asked him questions. All the newsmen ever did for Mr. Greenberg was to make him the figure he is in baseball. They all but buried him alive with publicity. They ven labelled his natural awn wardness as a fielder as "sturdy grace." When he gets out of the army around September 1. be cause his years are 28, he'll not Via telllnn the newsmen, "get away from me." Some of the scribes may do that very thing. . .

What s the Matter With Britain? To the Editor: I regard your comments on the war as very good, and many times a few days after reading the Mail-Tribune have heard experts over the radio, like Bill Henry, say prac tically the same thing. Why don't you go on the air, too? However, I did not compose this to hand you compli ments, but to register a complaint. You often Inveigh against "wishful thinking," but it seems to me you are often guilty of it, too. For example, you wrote recently that Hitler made the mistake of his life when he attacked Russia, and strongly implied this error meant Germany's defeat. Hope you ere right, but last night a group of us were discussing the matter, some of them ex-service men, and my contention was that the collosal blunder of the war had been made by Britain, when this Invasion of Russia caught her flatfooted. How can you explain It? For two months Germany has had her hands more than full on the easteern front and Britain has DONE NOTHING, absolutely nothing, but send a few airplanes over Germany and France. Not a single blow In the Mediterranean or Africa, or in Norway. How do you explain this In view of the fact that Britain has control of the seas, and at least 4,000,000 men under arms? M. D. GREEN. Medford, August 18. CORRY, but we can't explain why, during this critical period Britain has done nothing at sea or on the land. And we agree it does look like missing a golden, and perhaps unrepeatable, opportunity. From time to time there have been rumors or British offensives in Norway, the Russian Arctic and north Africa, but to date none has materialized. That doesn't mean none will. General Wavell has1 been in India for some time; there may be a British drive contemplated to the north, while Russia drives to the south, although whether or not Russia has any reserve strength for other than defensive action we don't know. THIS, however, we do regard as CERTAIN. Britain is moving heaven and earth to strike effectively SOMEWHERE, while Germany is so . thoroughly occupied with the red hordes of the Kremlin. Just why the blow has been so long delayed we can't say, our assumption is that Britain did concen trate chiefly upon invasion defense, and was not, and is not yet, prepared for any big-scale offensive action, except in the air, which incidentally is probably doing more to weaken Germany than is generally suspected, 1XE don't deny a certain " thinking, although it we have deplored in the allied camp, and endeavored to avoid. It is a difficult thing to avoid entirely, particularly when the allied skies brighten as they do from time to lime. "N the other hand, we "still believe, history will show Hitler DID make the long-awaited fatal blunder when he double-crossed his old pal, Stalin, and decided to wipe out the Muscovite realm. The Russian situation, we grant, doesn't look any too encouraging at the moment. But this much is certain. Unless the Nazis ENTIRELY, not merely take territory, but destroy the Red Army as an effective force, before winter comes, The one thing every military expert, at home and abroad, agrees will beat Hitler will have been done, namely: Germany, by the Spring, life, not on one front but enemy better equipped (thanks to the United States) in every way than Germany herself. IN other words, what was Wnr No 9. i ovon mnvo ..... ... - - i v..v. . - ally of the allied defense is Father Time. The totali tarian powers must gain a quick victory, or they are sunk, no decisive victory is possible at all. And taking on Soviet Russia, with its inex haustible resources in manpower and raw materials when Hitler did, as we see it, rendered a QUICK victory IMPOSSIBLE! If this be more "wishful thinking," well at least the fact should be known in a comparitively short time, say around THANKSGIVING !

One is the unrest in France, which before Darlan ever is able to hand over may develop into a paralyzing sabotage uprising or genuine rebellion. The other is the steady decline in British ship losses in the Atlantic, which, almost unrecorded, has been going on for some time. The first pretty clearly demonstrates the strenuous efforts of the friends. or even passive neutrals, of the French or any of the conquered peoples have failed. The second indicates that what Britain did in world war No. 1 she has now accomplished in world war No. 2, the problem of the submarine menace has been solved. IF the first situation continues to develop, the time is not far distant when Hitler will have his hand" full at home, too full to fight effectively five hun dred miles away. If the second isn't a temporary condition the.-. Germany CAN'T win, as far as Britain is concerned and the battle of the Atlantic has been won.

HOSPITAL FOLLO I noticed an article In your , column recently (writes a read er) advising young husbands to remain with their wives at the birth of the first child. Have that situ ation here and would like to stay with my wifa at the K' .ty.' time, but I am I X r : informed that I I hospital rules I 7V will not per Bfl mit it. Please sei me ngni. (H. F.) What I said or say about that is (quoting from p. 10 of the booklet "Preparing for Mater nity") "Not Just yet, perhaps, but in the near future it is going to be the conventional practice to have the prospective father in there where he belongs beside his wife during the delivery of the baby. That is one good result we may expect from the exhibi tion of the film The Birth of s Baby.' Even the showing of that instructive film aroused some criticism, but . . . the attitude of the general public is healthier now than it was ten or twenty years ago. The role assigned to the pros pective father in the ordinary movie is still that of boob, stooge or sap. He does his sissy stuff in the corridors, waiting room or somewhere and gives the nurses and others a chance to patronize and ridicule him. That is pretty quaint theater. It is high time for young husbands to snap out of it. The young husband who Is not an actual sap ought to keep the situation well in hand from the very beginning. He should accompany his wife to the doc tors as often as he can, for her examination and preparatory care. He should carefully heed the Instruction the physician gives and see to it that his wife follows the physicians' instruc tions, not the suggestions of well meaning but unqualified friends or neighbors. The young prospective father should be as familiar as his wife can be with the every day ques tions of diet, exercise, work, play, recreation, general hy giene. If the hospital Imposes the unreasonable restriction upon the husband attending at the time of the birth of his child, It might be safer all around to keep the prospective mother out of that hospital keep her at News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued rrom Pg On) merits even less understandable. The technique of undeclared wars, officials never saying what they mean, softening their enemies by friendship, keeps the man In the army as well as in the street, befogged with question marks. This is a democratic army. Some of it quietly, politely, ask why. a . 'T'HE root of the temporary dif- flculty is not in the army, but with the people back home There is not enough homt pride, shame or interest in their sons training for defense of their country. A soldier who goes over the hill (deserts) is a Bene dict Arnold in his own small way, as much of an Arnold as his position permits. No family could hold its head up in any neighborhood, whose son was a tiaitor to his country in tinru-s past, and times coming. In Brit- ain and Germany, if a boy is courtmartialed even for a minor broach of discipline, the family feels the disgrace keenly. Moth ers have been known to go into mourning in Germany when their sons are hauled up on the mat. A greater deficiency at home is lark of knowledge and in terest in what they boy is doing. Is he with a first class outfit How did it fare in drill, man euvers, competion! This army would be a lot further along today if everyone at home wrote to ask: "Is it true that your outfit batted .000 in man ruvers and you wrre made to look like a lot of monkeys?" Or: "We hear that the umpty umpth reniment of which you are a memlKT. Is top regiment in the whole xth army. Nice go ing." MfTHtn he Is with a good c itfit rr l ot nij be the Imam assurance ci the boy's life, Brad M. O. WS THE MOVIE IDEA home to have her baby There may be more than Just old-fash ioned prudery behind that rule; the hospital people may prefer not to have the questionable aseptic technic observed by any one who might know what's what in that line. Certainly there are some pretty dreadful crimes committed against medic al, surgical and obstetric asepsis In institutions that put on all the fancy airs of such hospitals in the movies. If I had my way it would be not only permissible but ex pected that every prospective father should remain with his wife during delivery, especially at the birth of their first child. I say that experience would make a better man of him. QUESTION ANSWERED . Two !'

I spelled angl-l-tla correctly with tour syl lables In my copy, but the kindly proofreader or printer changed the spelling to what seemed to htm or her to be light. Salt In Hi.. Weather You said salt should be taken mora freely In hot weather. How about eatlnii highly salted things such as pretzel, salted peanuts. salt In. crackers. . . .7 (L.W.) Answer All right. If you can handle th. extra food. Almplest practice Is to take a five-grain tab let of salt, or about fire grains (a good pinch) of salt with .very glass of water. Thla tends to prevent heat cramps and heat exhaustion. It la more refreshing than water alone, when you are sweatlni freely. Best of Lettuce la there some reason why one should not discard th. wilted outer leave, of lettuce when preparing It for the table? (Mrs. C R D.) Answer Yea. The outer leaves contain most of the calcium and moat of the vUamint. Vitamin B In Diabetes Please explain the value of vita min B complex In diabetes and Its relation to the dosage of Insulin. (LJ.)

Motet Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D, tea El Camlno. Beverl Hills, Calif. if the home folks only knew it. Look at Germany and Italy. The Italians, with plenty of men and equipment, slouched along In Greece losing great numbers in killed and wounded, although they were fighting an inferior force of Greeks, poorly equip ped. The contest lasted months. The Germans came along with an army hill of spirit and clean ed the British, as well as the Greeks out of Greece, with fewer killed and wounded than the Italians or the British and Greeks. Inquire about all the Euro pean campaigns if you doubt my word. In Africa, France, the lowlands. Norway, everywhere the men who are not good fight ers are not only defeated but decimated, no matter what their equipment or their numbers. The lesson of war is that a don't-give-a-damn soldier is a dead soldier. In intelligent, ef ficient modern fighting based on skill in handling Intricate ma chines and quick thinking by in dividual soldiers, the sloppy fiiihting man will head the cas ualty list, along with his entire nation. ... THIS country has decided it wants an army. The obvious evidence of all recent military events shows that it is not enough to have a fair or even J" Sod army. You might better have none at all. If you are going to have one, it must be a darnedsight better than the army of anyone else. Today if you put a crack Ger man engineering battalion, say. against a V. S. engineer battal ion, side by side on the bank of a river and told both to throw a bridge across, the best U. S. battalion would look feeble. The Germans have had four! years of training against our 'yr and a half or two years, IB"1 h reverse will be true In I 1 I ' . k 1 ,-ir,iuu; uie nnivricin trrj neiinue convictions ana1 LdirJlb:,,r.,1.di:r th"iclin' ,0 ,h tubbornlr. The I reason that now Inspires his doubtful morale. The Germans are automatons. Our boys do their thinking independently. In the world war when a German "mi ii u.iii-srrs in iiiun. me $oiciiers were Dewimtrra were bewildered not know what to do. But in American units, in similar situation, not only the cook and the buck private showed himself capable of taking command In an emergency, but he would probably secretly believe he could do the Job better than the officer had been doing it It Just takes longer to get an army In a democracy. But once you have obtained it in the slow democratic way, no hired or forced army can match it ... THESE are truths so plain as harrllv In warrant their re counting. They will sink in. A lot of things about the interna tional situation will remain fog gy indefinitely. Exactly when and how, or even if, we are go ing to have to fight must neces sarily remain doubtful. The country la apparently opposed to fighting abroad, and that sounds like good common sense. But the country also wisely knows the condition of the world today and wants an army, the kind of an army that will make it proud and secure. That is Just good common sense, too. Kelly's Comment From Washington Alaska Chromite Hard to Get Out CCC Trying Hard To Recruit Boys Concrete Ship Talked Again By John W. K.lly. (Note: During the absence of Mr. Kelly on vacation his daily column will be written by Mr. Paul Dunham, member of our Washington, D. C, staff). By Paul Danham Washington, D. C, Aug. 19. While the government is fid dling around on the chromite situation in Oregon and is im porting tons from half way around the world, an Oregon engineer has gone to Alaska and is now opening up a deposit 1,000 feet in length and 14 feet deep at the peak, where the ore is richest The principal diffi culty, he reports, was in making a road, for in that country, a rough and mountainous region, only a "cat" can be used in road building. The army and navy nave about all the cats In the terri tory and the rest are under the control of Secretary Ickes, who has charge of Alaska. A wire wag sent a member of the Ore gon delegation in congress and another to Office of Production Management, saying, "No cat, no chromite." OPM Is anxious to build up its stockpile of chro mite, and the secretary had the cat delivered within 48 hours from a point 50 miles away Next, a tramway must be built up the side of the mountain to the mine and a pier must be constructed where the ore may be loaded for Puget sound. The first order is for 10,000 tons. Meanwhile the government is hesitating to construct a road to the chromite ores in southwest ern Oregon. ... DIRECTOR McEntee of the CCC is making desperate effort to recruit the ranks of his organ ization in order to maintain work planned in Oregon, partic ularly the camps engaged in clearing the Deschutes project. As the work performed by these boys will reduce the cost of con struction charged against set tlers on the project, it is espec ially important that the camps be filled. Between the army draft and the National Youth administration offering instruc tion in vocations essential to de fense orders, the CCC is having a hard time keeping its person nel even at the present reduced number. This is a factor which various communities do not understand, and there is an outcry whenever a rumor circulates that a camp is about to be closed. Most of the CCC enrollees are taken from their home town and sent to the west, which was satisfac tory when Jobs were few and far between, but now the boys wish to remain at home if they are not taken into the army. By next year CCC will be so handi capped that congress is expected further to reduce the appropri ation, until comparatively few camps will be kept open, and eventual abandonment of the ac tivity is In sight. Rumors persist of a shake-up n the cabinet and there are some uneasy seats. Again it is being whispered that Henry Mimson. secretary of war will j resign (by request). The presi- ; dent is said to have been disap - , . , . !.; .1 signation of Secretary of Labor Perkins has been revived and I this time there It declared to be some backing for It, althouph it , will not be credited by the pres. gaiirrjr umu omciai inncunce- jmm is made that sne na ment is made that she has re - t'red from the cabinet. The IStimjon situation should be cleared up within few weeks. ALTHOUGH the fact that the utility and long life of ships made of wood was established centuries ago, the maritime commission is again toying with the idea of building concrete boats for the handling of cargo on the Pacific coast Admittedly in the nature of a trial balloon. the commission Is consulting ex perts on the advisability of con structing 350-foot vessel of re inforced concrete with a carry ing capacity of about 6,000 tons. These first boats, If they are built, will be barges, and upon their demonstrated value will depend further venture along this line. The recently perfected vacuum process for handling concrete makes it possible to pour a slab thickness of 3'4 inches as compared with the 6V4 inches formerly regarded as a safe limit. It Is reported that the navy is already constructing a 30,000-ton concrete storage tank er capable of carrying 12,000 tons of oil, but there is no of ficial confirmation of this re port ... DESPITE occasional state ments by members of congress that some form of a general sales tax is being considered as a means of obtaining revenue for defense needs, it is not be- ilieved that action along this line i will be taken this year. It is pos sible that congress will be i forced to it if the burden of de- fense and aid to Britain con tinues for a number of years, but the day will be postponed as long as conditions permit. It is expected that strong pressure will be brought to bear for widening of the Income tax base, since that is favored by President Roosevelt, and an at tempt will be made to inctease individual income surtaxes on the theory that those in the higher brackets are better able lo pay, but for political reasons the taxing of the great mass of the people will be by direct methods rather than the direct means of a sales tax. REP. PIERCE CHARGES ALUMINUM DELAY DUE TO POOR PLANT SITES Washington, Aug. 19. (JP) The aluminum-manufacturing program has been held back by the government's decision to lo cate aluminum factories at a distance from Bonneville dam, Rep. Pierce (D., Ore.) has charged. "The criminal delay in pro ducing aluminum is even worse than the dollars wasted," he told the house. The government proposed to construct plants at Tacoma, Spokane and about 20 miles from Portland. Pierce said that aluminum would cost $6 more a ton than if the plants were sit uated near the power-generating plant No definite decision on the sites has been made, although it is 90 days since the construc tion program was announced. he added, declaring the delay equivalent to 100,000,000 pounds of aluminum.

Wooton said a preliminary check of several local draft boards showed that from 20 to 50 percent of their registrants would be deferred because of the new law. He added, how ever, that there have been com paratively few men of 28 years or over inducted, since most men of that age already have been deferred for other reasons, such as dependents, essential defense jobs, or for not being physically fit.
