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

where their fruit comes from."

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."

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

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

is that quinine seems to cause

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.

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

to Vancouver on account of

of the firm, who is a frequent

He reports that two other busi

land of better taxes.
Talk here in the national cap!
tal is that there may be three
fabricating plants to treat the

at Lonfcview Wash.; another at
the aluminum plant at Tacoma
and one at Troutdale Ore. The

management of the aluminum
industry at Tacoma is said to

JN Tokyo today (Friday) Domel,

"Well informed circles are of
the opinion that what Japan is
aiming at, under the complex
international situation, is DIS

construction of the East Asia
co-prosperity sphere with the
ultimate object of ushering in

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

keeping still about what the
government wants kept mum.)

deal with the United States,
Britain and Russia.
A further guess:
Some such deal Is UNDER
CONSIDERATION In Tokyo
and Washington.

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."

You never start copying vour
competitor until his methods

BUSINESS. And when you do
begin copying your competitor
Instead of rolling your own It s
a pretty sure sign you're begin

Any business man can tell
you that.

I EADERS have to be self-
confident When they start
losing their self-confidence they
begin to lose their grip.

rONT think Hitler and Mus
solini didn't give serious
consideration to the signs that
Japan may be getting ready to
take a run-out powder.
That was their No. 1 headache.
