I Commentators report "history is repeating Itself" in the Rus sian campaign. There are times when it looks like history was also overdoing itself. Vlrglnlo Gayda, the press agent for II Duce Mussolini, bared the keys of his typewriter in the wake of the President' "Shoot First" speech last week, and declares the Italian navy, "must attack In self-defense. If they cannot escape." If the past is any gauge, the accent will be on "escape."

However, he states: "If you have money there, you can get all vnu want tn est ' That's the way things work out here. ' Peace by Christmas? A CCORDING to our special operative in Washing ton, D. C, there is a strong and persistent rumor there the war will end by Christmas. The end will be brought about by the German High Command liquidating ex-Corporal Adolf Hitler, assuming the reins of government and making peace with the allies. IF this rumor is very strong and far-reaching we think President Roosevelt would be wise to track it down and scotch it. For while almost anything might happen in this crazy world, and the forceable exit of Herr Hitler any time now would not greatly surprise us; even so, world peace in 1941 just couldn't be brought about And nothing would be harder on allied, and particularly American, morale than to have such a false hope aroused at this critical time, with the in evitable let-down in war effort, and then later to have it dissipated, as it almost certainly would be. XE repeat, almost anything might happen, with the war situation in such a state of flux and confusion. But even if Adolf's mortal coil were severed and the German army did take over, what chance would there be of any peace agreement? None whatever as we see it, at least short of unconditional surrender on the part of the German High Command, which would mean the empire's dismemberment. MO, barring a miracle, and we MEAN miracle, ' there is no chance of world peace by Christmas, unless the German war machine should not only he defeated but completely CRUSHED. And that just isn't in the cards, as we view them, and probably won't be for another year or two at least So the less pipe dreams of this sort are encour aged, the better for the allied cause, and especially for the American effort ' IMAGINE, for example, what the prospect of peace in 90 days, as a result of a German upheaval, would do to U. S. army morale, which is low enough as it is, or to the interventionist bloc, who have main tained from the outset that without ALL-OUT U. S. participation, Hitler would More than that Practically every argument of the radical isola tionists would be sustained Our special operative grapevine mmor originated. If it is as general and persistent as he claims, however, our own guess is its origin is not many miles from the Nazi consulate ! What Price Peace? IN all likelihood the basis for the above grapevine 1 report is the growing conviction that Hitler can't win, and knows it There is little doubt of I, there is considerable doubt of the second. And until the second is fighting for all he is worth, Nazi bermany, will continue to fight with him. QN the other hand, there is little doubt the growth of this conviction outside of Germany has been responsible for Japan's right-about-face in the Pacific and for Mussolini's practical retirement as militant leader of the fascist Black many sees the handwriting on the wall, the other members of the Axis will no doubt have vanished as actual or potential combatants, not caring to fur ther risk their skins for a dead horse. RUT with this question, as with most others, lvow " ever, there is another side. And before the allies actually celebrate the demise of Nazi Germany that i otner side should be considered. "THE strongest human (or animal) instinct is that of self-preservation. Even a rat when cornered, will fight Before the totalitarian Axis can be completely counted out, not only must Nazi Germany be crushed within and without; but the Fascist parties in both Italy and Japan must be liquidated in the same con clusive fashion. And this will be no easy job, no brief one. For there is not only a second World War being waged, there is world-wide revolution in full blast. And in general terms the two conflicting forces are those of democracy and dictatorship, engaged, di rectly or indirectly, all over the planet in a war to the death. CO, even accepting as entirely true the assumption Hitler can't win, there is still a prospect of a long period of conflict, which will demand all the democ racies can produce in the way of force, fortitude and resource, before there can be anything lasting achieved in the way of permanent world peace. Indeed, the mopping-up process may be as extended in time as the conflict In short, while the present war situation is de cidedly encouraging the present is no time to con sider, or even speculate about, the prospect for any immediate peace.

Addrss Dr. William Brady, tu CI Camlno, Beverly Hills, Calif. NEVER MIND The popular notion of "weak nerves" is as meaningless as "weak eyes" or "weak lungs" or "weak sto- maeh." Persons who have actual disease affect in g brain, spinal cord or nerves are generally not more "nerv out" than those who have disease of bone. Inter nal organ or skin. Physicians are still more or less confused about what they still call "neurasthenia" a term which, if it means anything, means nerve weakness. Fifty years ago "neurasthenia" was fashionable among the well-to- do patients of ethical quacks. With a little training Dy tne quack the "neurasthenic" pat ient could get into a nice pri vate sanitarium and enjoy weeks or months of coddling and pampering, away from all the vexations of nagging wife or exacting husband or other cares or responsibilities. The sanitarium business was a bon anza in the gay nineties, but as the doctors began to see what a mockery the concept of neu rasthenia was, the sanitarium business began to decline. To day a sanitarium is either a real hospital adequately equipped for the study and care of pat ients or else a blind for some kind of shady business. A fairly representative state ment of the present medical view of neurasthenia Is this, quoted from a textbook of clin ical neurology published In 1936: Neurasthenia. . . . char acterized by lack of energy, easy mental and physical fatigability, mild gastrointes tinal disturbances, poverty of power of concentration, pres sure on top of head and in the back, feeling a tight band about the head ... all a direct result, according to Freud . . . Well, we'll go no further with that, because Freud's theory is hardly sound or acceptable to modern medicine. But the same authority describes some of the familiar "symptoms of neuras thenia" thus: Kelly's Comment From Washington Oregon Ignored in Navy Handouts Pendleton Plea For Aid Reduced Oregon Unions Lose Navy Jobs By John W. Kally (Note: During the absence of Mr. Kelly cn vacation his daily column will be written by Mr Paul Dunham, member of our Washington. D. C. staff). Washington, D. C. Sept. 16. Where Oregon "gets off" Is demonstrated once more In the new announcement of projects lor the navy. The story can be reduced to a single line: Oregon, S462.MO: Washington. $7,793. 000; California, $12,798,000. All these are items indexed and made public by the navy, not one a duplication, but all In iddition to the millions here tofore expended by the navy on the Pacific coast since the na tional defense program took shape. What the army has spent and whnt it pians spending on the west coast is not to be con fused with this single naval outlay. The Oregon share of the navy potlalch consists of $450,000 lor buildings and accessories at Tongue Point at the mouth of Ihe Columbia river, and a house to cost $12,300 for the officer In charge of the naval radio itation. These are all that the navy has deemed necessary on the Columbia river. In the Pu pet sound area the navy Is going to town, strengthening Its de fense facilities, which include the start of a brand new naval i.ir station on Whidby Island, given $3 ;0 000 for site and buildings; a naval magazine en Indian island to cost $1 100.000: for the naval air base at Sand Point which cannot be expand ed. $M0 000: quarters for mar ried operators at the Bainbridge island naval radio station, $72, 000 And so forth. None of these projects ar under contract, according to the navy department, yet It is known that several of the extra large projects In California have been awarded and no publicitj Brady. M. D. YOUR NERVES "The symptoms are mainly subjective, and consist essen tially of abnormal fatigability and exaggerated irritability. The neurasthenic shows both physical and mental exhaust ibility. He gets up tired In the morning, feels better as the day progresses, and often regains full vigor before go ing to bed." Space remaining may be just enough to permit us to mention here conditions which unques tionably do cause "abnormal fatigability and exaggerated ir ritability" and make the victim "show both physical "and men tal exhaustibility." First is anoxia. Insufficent oxygen in tissues. This may oc cur from climbing or travelling to a high altitude or from fly ing high; or from prolonged or frequent exposure to air slight ly polluted with carbon monox ide; or from cardiovascular or circulatory deficiencies the subject Is dealt with in book let "How to Breathe," if you would learn more- about it.

Among others applying for a project to provide a school was Pendleton; the proposal was for $155,388 of which Pendleton was to put up $38,898.50 and ivcelve a grant of $116,689.50. The federal board In charge of these projects has approved the Pendli'ton proposal, with a string attached. It has read justed the terms and cuts the grant down to $62,234 and sug gests that Pendleton pay $93.- .JoJ.

S3T reply of the navy department to a protest from labor organi zations in Oregon that the navy is refusing to have ships con verted in ports along the Co lumbia and Willamette rivers because of the high wage scale. Navy declares that there Is no reason to send vessels to be transformed into transports in the Columbia, Puget sound or ht San Francisco when the scale for this work is higher than the cost of conversion in eastern ports. The union at Los Angeles, rather than lose the work, has modified its scale, but Portland, Tacoma-Seattle and San Fran cisco are standing pat and not getting the Jobs. One ship was transformed in the Columbia, but when the navy saw the price it withdrew a second ship which had been awarded to a Portland concern and sent it to the Atlan tic coast where the unions were, according to the navy depart ment, more reasonable. see WHETHER or not there is tin in Oregon remains a disputed question. W. C. Mendenhall of the geological survey insists that there is no tin in the 14 samples obtained from Juniper ridge, west of Burns and east of Bend. Mr. Mendenhall says every known method of recov ering tin has been applied to the samples with nary a trace. This is the second time the government men have denied the existence of tin in Oregon. However, others are persistent in asserting that tin and plenty of it is available if the right method Is applied; they assert that the government has failed to use the correct system. Be cause of the importance of tin in national defense and its scarcity in the United States the subject will not be dropped un til there Is further exploration. BIG SALMON ME MAY BE LAST FOR Five Million Pounds Taken in Four Days; Fear Power Dams Will Halt Runs Astoria, Ore , Sept. 16. (P) Salmon piles mounted higher In canneries today as fishermen continued to haul In what some said might be the last major run in the Columbia river. The catch in four days totaled 5,000,000 pounds, almost half of the 11.399,134 pounds landed in the entire season of 1940. But enriched fishermen warned that the run was the last spawned before completion of Bonneville dam in 1938, which some claimed barred salmon in passing to and from upriver breeding grounds. Government engineers cited figures of the past four years a period that coincides with the life span of a salmon disclosing that thousands of Chinook were using fishways to reach the spawning grounds. They also presented sampling statistics as an Indication young salmon were getting downstream. But some fishermen and Ore gon fish commission members said there was no conclusive proof that fingerllngs en route to sea were escaping ' Bonne ville's power turbins. It will take the 1942 fall run to determine whether the $250,- 000,000 Columbia river salmon industry will survive construc tion of the dam, they said. RAF FEARED LOST London. Sept. 16.

Msln News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued From Page One) responsibility is to aid the farm ers, isn't selling government owned stocks of wheat cotton to keep the price down. He claims that farmers have been getting less than fair prices for so many years that they are entitled to a little more than congress has set as its goal. This goal is 85 per cent of parity for the major com modities. Wheat is now about 85 per cent of parity and cotton is slightly above 100 per cent par ity. e TTHERE is some criticism of Deputy Petroleum Co-ordi-nator R. K. Davies here which he might do well to answer if he doesn't want to get farther in the doghouse than he is now. On June 19, at a conference with representatives of the pe troleum industry, Mr. Davies said: "In appearing before you for the first time in my role ot dep uty co-ordinator, I think it may not be amiss that I express to you something of the state of mind with which I undertake the serious responsibilities of this office. "First of all, I should say to you that I am today a govern ment employe, serving full time, upon leave of absence from my company, granted in response to the request of the president. Thus, I have today but one allegiance an allegi ance to the national govern ment and to my superior in that service, the secretary of the in terior, the petroleum coordina tor for national defense. "This is but a way of saying to you that I am properly free to serve from the impartial po sition of government, and to de vote myself completely to the public interest in the present emergency." e e e TTHE fine impression made by this statement later was di minished when one of those at tending the meeting happened to see a registration statement filed with the securities and ex change commission by the Standard Oil of California, of which company Mr. Davies was vice-president. The statement said: "To make his services avail able to the federal government In the capacity of deputy petro leum coordinator for national defense, as requested by Presi dent Roosevelt, the company has granted Mr. Davies a leave of absence with pay ..." The pay. Incidentally, is over $57,000 a year, and apparently Mr. Davis is still getting it. MOW that the smoke has 4 cleared away after the Hen- derson-Knudsen showdown on auto production, it appears that Henderson came out slightly on top. President Roosevelt's reor ganization of defense put Hen derson completely in charge of administering non-defense pro- auction. Technically, Henderson's civ ilian allocations division is un der Knudsen, but actually ha is more independent than you would think. For example, he is announcing his own cuts in auto production. Knudsen, one of the greatest liv.ing experts in auto production, has little to say about it. GIANT SALMON FOILS TWO-HANDED ATTACK Portland, Sept. 16 VP) A two-fishermen attack fai'.ed to slow down a huge Chinook sal mon heading up the Columbia river yesterday. R. Porter Conger, Salem, first hooked the fish. It started off with his line, nad its tail was hooked by Henry Zuger, Waits burg. Wash. The two pulled mightily, but the chinook, esti mated to weigh more than $0 pounds, snapped Zuger's line and yanked Conger's equipment from his hands.
