B C OlfbloMiSfkMI Ye Smudge Pot with NOLAN SKirr of the Pen dleton East Oregonlan, and CLAUDE E. INGALLS, editor of tho CORVALLIS Gatette In return engagements as QUEST COLUMNISTS (Thar over-wrote tha lint time.) The president hai asked the nubile to be more careful about auto accidents. That's right, If you are going to have an auto accident be as careful about It as possible. For the pedestrian the ques tion Is not whether the auto mobile is here to stay, but whether or not he can stay here too. The Oregon Journal com plains about tha fact that there are no road signs south of Otii to direct travelers to Portland. What difference does It make? Oregon road signs are a relic of the day when 30 miles an hour was the speed limit and most ears had to go their darndest to make it Nobody can read an Oregon road sign now unless ha stops his car and ' causes a traffic Jam. These dinky "arrow" signs are not only too small to read in passing but they are nailed onto posts parallel with the road so that there is not one chance In a hundred that they can be read by anyone going 49 miles an hour. Besides, who wants to go to Portland anyway? (Mr. Ingalls) I suppose you have those farm security administration mobile camps around Medford. We have one at Athena each year and the most unusual things happen! Along In July one of the men campers (he was un married) put In a 12-hour shift In the pea fields and, tired as a dog, crept into his tent, un dressed and "died." Hours later he woke up and was amazed to find a woman's tousled head protruding from the cover next to his. He seat up. His stirring' awakened her and she sat up. too. She screamed , looked round wildly, then leaped out of bed like a streak of lightning and ducked out of the tent. According to reports the woman was more embarrassed at pick ing the wrong tent than the man was astonished because she was sleeping raw! Maybe you've heard this one, but I'll tell it anyway since It's true. Friend of mine returned from New York and said he bought a "California apple" in a hotel there. Suspicious, he asked the clerk In a low voice If that apple wasn't really from Oregon. "Sure It Is," was thei prompt reply. "You see, every body here has heurd of Cali fornia and they like to know where their fruit comes from." Here and there: BUI King was accepting applications for driv er's licenses at the city hall applications that Inquired about height, weight, sex, color of eyes, etc. One came In with "Presbyterian" written after sex. . . .

PLEDGED 'TO DO FULL PART' (Continued Pram Pig One) has been blocked and halted that "they are making a very dangerous assumption." He advanced the thought that tha moment to strike with re doubled force was when the enemy seemed to be making slower progress. That is the moment, he said, to throw more energy Into the job of defeating him to "end for all time the menace of world conquest and thereby end all talk or thought of any peace founded on a com promise with evil itself." Labor's Responsibility While . the presidential re marks on foreign affairs over shadowed all cine, the adaress did acknowledge the signifi cance of the holiday on which are celebrated the rights of free laboring men and women. "The preservation of these rights is now vitally Important," Mr. Roosevelt said, "not only to us who enjoy them but to the whole future of Christian civili zation." He placed upon labor a "tre mendous responsibility in the winning of this most brutal, most terrible of all wars." The chief executive asked why America was forging weap ons to send over the seas and through the air, why she was devoting her mighty industrial effort to war production, when she was not interested In ag gression, in looting or in an inch of foreign territory. Answering his own rhetorical question, he asserted: "Our vast effort, and the unity of purpose which inspires that effort, are due solely to our recognition of the fact that our fundamental rights, Including the rights of labor are threat ened by Hitler's violent attempt to rule the world." A free labor system, Mr. Roosevelt declared, is tha very foundation of a functioning de mocracy. One of the first arts of axis dictatorships, he said, has been to wipe out labor prin ciples and standards and strike down trade unionism. No group of Americans has seen more clearly, the president asserted, what Nazi domination of the world would mean to organized labor and no group has a greater stake In the de feat of the Nazis. In the United States, he said, the present position of labor has been attained through an evolu tionary process of a healthy de mocracy at work. Trade union ism, he said, has helped to give to every one who toils "the position of dignity which is his due." We have shown" Philip Murray, president of the con gress of Industrial organizations, said, "that labor has the brains and public spirit to take its place as a responsible partici pant In the national defense ef fort. As yet, labor's offer of col lective participation has not been accepted. We will not cease, however, In our determ ined effort to see that labor takes Its rightful place . . . It Is the determination of the CIO that this nation shall be a land worth defending with every effort." Labor Chiefs Talk President William Green call ed upon members of the Ameri can federation of labor to "re double their efforts during the coming months" on behalf of tionlI defen,e. "A crisis Is at hand," he said, 'new threats to our national safety are looming, and our country may eventually be forced Into war to defend our way of life. These dangers de mand a degree of service which none but American workers can give, and which they surely will give In defense of a Free Ameri ca." Murray cited extension "of the right of collective bargain ing by the CIO to companies whose antl-unlonlsm had be come historic" and declared that "this Labor Day marks a great forward wage movement." He said, however, that "In a ptriod of war production the real wages of American work er will be beset on all sides' by "rising costs of living, by wage taxation and by all kinds of schemes for forced saving." Creen, pledging his organize tion to support of democracy and rejection of any form of to talitarianism, told his follower that organization of workers had "advanced sharply and ' " creasingly high levels. "Never, he said, "was our or ganization stronger and more powerful than it is today." In another Labor Day state ment. Brig. Gen. Philip B. Flem ing, wage hour administrator.

Britons Talk George Hicks, parliamentary secretary for the works and buildings ministry, asked Amer ican workers In a London broad cast to "feel that they are right in this war, fighting side by side at the benches and in the work shops with their British com rades." His remarks replied to n cable query from Mathew Woll, AFL vice president ask ing what American labor could do to "hasten and assure victory for democracies." Another message, from Her bert Morrison, British labor leader and minister of home se curity, asked American labor to 'concentrate In giving us every ounce of help within your pow er," saying that workers of this country "have It in their power to provide such a flow of muni tions of war to our navy, army and air force as to make our vic tory certain." SET NEW RECORD Portland, Ore , Sept. 1. UFi Portland's August bank clear ings set a new all-time high at $243,024,289 for the third con secutive month, the Federal Re serve bank reported today.

MOBILIZING THE In the blood of healthy person there are 5.000,000 red blood corpuscles and 7,000 white blood corpuscles per cubic mil limeter. Bear ing in mind my famous disdain for arithmetic you may take it that a drop of blood would equal about 60 cubic millime ters or leave it as you please, We doctors always like to have a reserve supply of for bidding terms In case patients get too familiar with medical science. So we speak of erythro cytes rather than red corpuscles, erythro being Greek for red, and cyte meaning cell. Likewise we speak of leucocytes rather than white blood corpuscles, leukos being Greek for white. The white blood corpuscles that specialize in policing the blood stream and the tissues and swal lowing and destroying germs and other harmful or dangerous things are called phagocytes, phago being Greek for eat or swallow maybe you've heard of the esophagus, you know, the gullet thru which things go down the hatch. When a person develops ap pendicitis, or acute inflamma tion or suppuration anywhere, there is generally a great mo bilization of white corpuscles, a rapid Increase in their num bers in the blood and a massive Increase in their numbers in and around the area inflamed or infected. The phagocytes are there to destroy the invading germs. A white cell count is routine practice in diagnosis and prognosis if the blood count shows a good leucocytosis (marked Increase In numbers of the phagocytes), eay to five or 10 times their normal num bers, the lucocytosis indicates sharp inflammation or suppura tion and it also indicates that the patient is making a good fight of it. Now in some illnesses there is little or no Increase in the numbers of white corpuscles, and that is an unfavorable sign. In influenza there may be not only no Increase but an actual diminution in the number of white corpuscles in the blood, leucopenla, doctors call it. Every one knows that influenza is a grave, treacherous illness. Every one knows or should know that quinine is probably the best bet we have against influenza, the V.J, grip and other common respiratory infections (cri).

A gen uine deal with them, bearing none of the silly aspects of an other Munich, might release perhaps 200.000 British troops and the bulk of the American fleet. e THE powers-that-be here have sounded out Frank E. Mc Kinney, the Indianapolis invest ment banker and McNutt friend, on whether he would accept chairmanship of the securities exchange commission. The sounding was done in Indian apolis by an undersecretary from Washington. McKinney was not strong for it, but may weaken.

This is prophylaxis ad vocated or prescribed by physi cians everywhere. In the past year or two in vestigation, checked by blood counts, has brought some new knowledge which may be the answer to a question physicians have long speculated upon, namely, How does quinine pre vent and cure the cri (flu, grip or, If you will be obstinate about it, "colds")? The new knowledge is that quinine seems to cause an increase in the number of white corpuscles in the blood, or in other words quinine mo bilizes the phagocytes. And I harp on it here because I be lieve it does good and practi cally never does any harm.

Calif. turing is one of the newly re animated companies, Willys Overland. Its noises have so far been only polite and private to OPM, but there is reason to be lieve it has demanded the first public hearing of the defense regime to present its case about being squeezed out by the larger companies. The OPM auto priorities (Chairman James S. Adams) told the companies how many cars they could produce in an effort to save raw materials. They based their allowances on pro duction of the last three years. The Willys people have not done a lot in the last three years, but they have a new light pas senger car which they claim uses one-third less of defense materials than any other auto (Steel copper, rubber, aluminum) and yet performs the same serv ice. By widawane management they are launching it as a de fense car, figuring naturally that if OPM wanted to cut down the use of raw materials, it would cut down the use of raw mater ials, not Just the number of automobiles produced. There may be trouble but OHM's answer will be that Willys was cut only 7 per cent, while the larger companies suf fered 27.6 per cent. Even if the basis of computation did not get down to the bedrock problem of raw materials. e . .

Kelly's ' Comment From Washington Politic Back of Special Meet Talk Taxes Loom aa Campaign Issue Industry Afraid of Oregon Laws : By John W, Kallr - (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). Washington, D. C, Sept. 1. Last spring this column was ad vised that there would be a special session of the Oregon legislation early In 1942 for the purpose of acting on 'a tax re port to be made by the interim committee. Scarcely had the article appeared than Governor Charles A. Sprague declared there would be no special ses sion. Now, however, despite this position of the governor there is a movement to bring about a special session and cer tain of the advocates expect to use the session, if held, politi cally. As word cames from Oregon, the railroad brotherhoods favor the special; Harry Kenin, repub lican, and Lew Wallace, demo crat, are in the movement and in the background is Robert Far rell, speaker of the house of rep resentatives. These and others are said to be working to have the governor change his mind. The tax situation will prob ably be the principal campaign issue in the election next year, and attention has been called to the taxes at a recent meeting of the interim committee held in Portland, with C. C. Chapman, editor of Oregon Voter, as the chairman. Another tax discus sion roundup will be held in a couple of weeks by a business group, with tax experts appear ing from all parts of the state. At the Chapman meeting Charles Galloway, of the state tax com mission, appeared and admitted that a notice ordering an en forcement of the assessment and taxation law was deliberately withheld by the tax commission when the legislature was in ses sion last winter to prevent pro longed debate. The order came after the Multnomah county as sessor had arranged to reduce the real property tax, but under the order the homeowners in Multnomah county will have their taxes increased There is a prolonged howl from the homeowners and they are said to be angry at the tax commis sion and, incidentally, at the administration of Governor Sprague which sponsored the order. To overhaul the tax structure of the state will require legisla tion and with the turmoil now over taxes, it is assumed that a special session next winter or spring can straighten out the kinks. In May are the Oregon primaries, and a session prior to the primaries may be used to advantage by office seekers Mr Kcnin desires to contest with Homer Angell, republican congressional Incumbent, for the nomination for representative: Mr. Wallace wishes the demo cratic nomination for governor Mr. Farrell it an aspirant for secretary of state. These three are from Multnomah county where the bulk of the votes are and where the small homeowner Is chafing at the increased load of taxation which will result from the tax commission's order One of the reasons that indus tries are locating in Washington state is that they are afraid of the Oregon tax structure. The state tax commission contends that taxes are less in Oregon, but the industries have not been convinced. By locating at Long view, Wash., instead of in Ore gon Reynolds Metals Co. will save about $60,000 a year in taxes Aluminum company of America (ALCOA) is at Van couver. Wash., and Is savin? taxes. An important concern is preparing to move from Portland to Vancouver on account of taxes, according to the president of the firm, who is a frequent visitor in the national capital He reports that two other busi ness enterprises are also plan ning to cross the Columbia to a land of better taxes. Talk here in the national cap! tal is that there may be three fabricating plants to treat the aluminum Ingots in the north west. One is said to be con sidered by Reynolds Metals Co.. at Lonfcview Wash.; another at the aluminum plant at Tacoma and one at Troutdale Ore. The I ftimmnv tpntativelv selected for management of the aluminum industry at Tacoma is said to wish to put in a rolling mill: i the Reynolds company will place a rolling mill wherever Jesse Jones, secretary of commerce and held of Reconstruction Fin ance corporation, suggests, ac cording to report 'and that will j probably be at Longview. which i Jones likes), while the govern- . fabricating p.ant near the gov , ernment-owned aluminum plant Kt Trn,iHal r r Pnlnnihia elver ' Government officials, how ever, may decide that one fabri cating plant to serve the Pacific j northwest may be sufficient.: Until such mill Is established.; and it will cost several million; dollars to Install and require, thousands of employes, the in-1 gots from the private and gov ernment plants will be shipped east to be fabricated and then hipped back to the Pacific coast io Boeing, at Seattle, and to the many aircraft factories in Cali fornia, transportation which in creases the cost by reason of the freight charges both ways and the time lost in travel. By Frank Jenkins JN Tokyo today (Friday) Domel, Japanese news agency, says: "Well informed circles are of the opinion that what Japan is aiming at, under the complex international situation, is DIS POSAL of the China affair and construction of the East Asia co-prosperity sphere with the ultimate object of ushering in an era of PERMANENT PEACE in the Pacific; and in consider ation of the very delicate rela tlons existing between Japan and the United States following the outbreak of the Russian- German war Prince Konoye (Jap premier) conveyed Japan's firm conviction on this broad view point to President Roosevelt." . e TH! Important commercial newspaper Chugai indicates today its belief the Japanese- American crisis could be settled amicably, and adds: "From time immemorial there has been no problem which could not be settled by mutual conversations between Japan and the United States." (It must be remembered here that in Japan, as in all dictator countries, the newspapers are merely mouthpieces for the gov ernment, saying what the gov ernment wants them to say and keeping still about what the government wants kept mum.) THIS writer's guess: Japan would like to cut loose from Hitler and make a deal with the United States, Britain and Russia. A further guess: Some such deal Is UNDER CONSIDERATION In Tokyo and Washington. e e jfEEP your eye on those tank ers that are steaming toward Vladivostok. Their actions will provide a hint as to how the deal is progressing. eve A DOLF and Benito conclude today a five-day meeting at Hitler's headquarters on the Russian front (kept carefully secret until now) with the an nouncement they aim at "re moving the causes of war and developing co-operation for all the peoples of Europe." r-reaicaiea, of course, on COMPLETE AXIS VICTORY.
