Why aren't the people of this country, given the benefit of the best military and naval advice obtain able? As Mr. Cudahy, well said, if we have a medical troblem to solve, we consult a doctor; a legal prob em, we consult a lawyer; a building problem, we consult an architect or a contractor. But confronted with a military or naval problem, we go to the politicians because there is no expert authority for "we the people" to consult General Marshall and Admiral Stark, give the benefit of their expert knowledge to the President, or to the various military and naval committees of the congress, but all such information is "off the record", and there is a great hue and cry if even a vagrant rumor leaks out, to the people. THIS certainly isn't the democratic way. It doesn't appeal to this department, as the desirable or intelligent way. TAKE the matter of a Nazi invasion of the western hemisphere if Hitler should be undefeated in Europe, for example. What does General Marshall think about it? Also Admiral Stark. What are the majority views of the U. S. naval board and the U. S. army general staff? The people of this country don't know I When it comes to the best information available regarding naval and military problems, they have to go to their congressmen or senators, or, save the mark, their newspaoer editors, all of whom fail to agree on these subjects as they fail to agree on most others. XE realize, of course, that many matters of naval " and military importance can't be broadcast pro miscuously, or discussed, generally in open debate. Such a program would clearly be impractical and against the public interest. BUT, we fail to see why, in matters of general policy, such as the exact dangers confronting this country tujjay, from a military and naval stand point, the people shouldn't be given the benefit of the best and most expert knowledge available instead of having to guess, or try to decide between a maze of conflicting opinions, hopelessly mixed up and con fused, by partisanship, self interest and politics 1 Why depend upon experts in every other depart ment of national activity, and then throw them over board when it comes to the extremely vital matter of national self defense. ' As this department views the matter, it just DOESN'T make sense!

Kelly's Comment From Washington CPA Legislation Due For Delay Apple Industry Gets War Break Office Supplies Hard To Get By Joha W. rally . Washington, D. C, Sept. 27 As the situation now develops there is a strong probability that no Columbia power authority legislation will be considered in the senate before next March; this despite the pressure being applied to have hearings started and the program disposed of as shortly after October 1 as possi ble. It all goes back to Homer T. Bone, Washington senator, and his three-man bill which he tossed into the hopper one hot day last August. The senator slipped on a rug in his Tacoma home, long ago, and was laid up for about a half year. From this accident he is once more in a local hospital with surgeons working upon his injured hip. Notwithstanding his condition and his inability to receive visi tors, several of the top flight members of the power policy group, working under Secretary of the Interior Ickes, have been using the longdistance endeav oring to reach the patient and argue with him on the adminis trative features of his bill (Com panion measure sponsored in the house by Rep. Martin Smith). Now a stop has been put to thst and the senator will not be an noyed by the persistance of Abe Fortas and other Ickes' lawyers. I e . . ATTENDING physicians pre dict that Senator Hone will be about five months g a 1 1 1 n g ( - M I II I Brady. M. D. IS IN THE HOSPITAL Moreover, I think you baby and pamper yojr husband, Ma'am. Whatever the responsi bilities or cares or worries of his occupation may be. It will be a good thing for the man to pinch hit for mother, for a lit tle while, whether mother Is at the hospital or enjoying a lit tle outing for herself In the country, at the beach, In town or at sea. As for tha suffering of the husband from the mere duty of remaining at his wife's side throughout the miracle, I am sure you are wrong about that. Ma'am. From every point of view it is far better that the husband should remain with his wife like a man and not per mit anyone to assign him the role of stooge or sap as In the movies. But, after all, I've never act ually had a baby and I'm afraid I never shall now. Perhaps I should defer to those who have had 'em. There must be some women who prefer to have their babies at home, even If home is not exactly a palace. QIESTIONS j, ANSWERS Eierclse If you could devote only five min utes a day to exercise (assuming you were tied to a desk every day) what form of exercise would you do? (AT.) Answer I'd do two dozen somer saults It takes thirty seconds to do a dozen, as I have timed myself and a couple of minutes night and morning for some of the movements of the Last Brady Symphony, say the movements described and Illustrated In -The 7 Keys to Vlte". Tor copy of this booklet send twenty-flvo cents and 1-ct-stamped envelope tearing your address. Any one has time to roll half a dozen somersaults on the floor first thing In the morning and another half dozen Just before hit ting the hay at night. Not much In the way of exercise, but somersaults counteract to a considerable degree the 111 effects of long sitting or standing.

Drug Clerk Pathologist The drug clerk said my trouble Is obviously caused by acid In my sys tem, and he told me that If I used aluminum ware for cooking the acid In my system la probably caused by tbo betal which gets Into the rood. Mn B. M. A.) Answer That is absurd. "Acid tn ttie system" Is not a likely cause of any aliment, and there Is no ground for the notion that use of. aluminum ware for cooking Is In any way harm ful. I'm a pretty healthy geezer and I've been eating food cooked In alum inum ware for most of my lifetime. (Copyright 1841, John P. Dllle Co.) Ed.

Meanwhile the Ickes group (favoring one-man control and that man Ickes) wishes to perform the rush act. Their only opportunity is to open hearings in the house rivers and harbors committee, where the interior department bill Is lodged (Given to Knute Hill to sponsor). Should the CPA legislation pass the house it would go to the senate and land in the com merce committee, where nothing will happen until Senator Bone is back on his feet and ready for action. Oregon's Senator Mc Nary will see that the legislation rests pending the recovery of his Washington colleague. Administrator Paul J. Raver, of Bonneville-Grand Coulee, ar rived in the national capital to expedite CPA legislation (one man bill) and to propose that authorization be given him to acquire, by condemnation or otherwise, such private utilities as he desires in the grandiose scheme for the federal govern ment to control all power in the great northwest from the the California Oregon Power company to the half dozen large utilities in Washington and their affiliates. The administrator would like to shortcut the wait ing period for CPA action and have this authority in a special bill. Tha northwest, from the! straits of Juan de Fuca and Spo kane, down to the Shasta dam in the Siskiyou mountains, will 1 soon see a genuine fight for con-1 trol of hydro-electric energy i which. In a way, will be historic, as it will touch the lives of' every resident of the northwest empire Idaho, Washington, ' Oregon and the northern tip of , California. THE apple Industry of the northwest is to receive one 1 break from the war. The British ministry of food is to purchase I I 1.300.000 bushels of British Co-1 j lumbia fruit and out of an esti-; I mated crop of 4 250.000 bushels. 1 leaving 2.750.000 bushels for do- mestic use and export, or scarce . , ly euough to meet requirements. I Invasion of the United States markets by British Columbia apples last year caused consider able distress among American growers and the loss of the for eign market formerly supplied by the apple exporters of the northwest states added to their difficulty. British Columbia pur chases by the British ministry of food are principally the types grown In the commercial orch ards of Washington and Oregon the Delicious, the Jonathan, Winesap, Newtown and Mcin tosh. e THEY don't know it yet, but business and professional offices will be feeling the war in the space of months when carbon paper, metal clips and lead pen cils will be hard to get. The pinch is touching some of the small businesses in the north west making carbon paper and, although they have government orders, it is almost impossible to acquire "the makings." Typewriter ribbons are soon to go up in price, in part be cause of the handicaps In obtain ing from England the material for the ribbons. War department was on the verge of purchasing all the stocks in sight but was dissuaded by the argument that monopoly of all the ribbo-.is would interfere with other na tional defense agencies. Lead pencil manufacturers axe in trouble finding graphite, rubber for erasers and the little strip of metal which holds the eraser to the pencil. Substitutes are being examined. There are several prosperous little carbon paper plants in the northwest and these have sent their managers to the capital for a priority, but without result. These are only a few of the items, large and small, of every day use the supply of which will be curtailed and, in some cases, wholly eliminated by priorities on metals and other materials required for national defense. Hugh Johnson Eyes Men and Issues of Day (Continued Prom Page One) of books and a group of of fices, sometimes sumptuous, but even this is unnecessary if it is getting results. Its "invested capital" is negligible. If it had to be restricted to six percent on that, its whole value is gone Think about chewing-gum com panies. Lots of their factories are marvels of efficiency, but their value lies in the intang ibles of public preference and confidence. A good deal of this is true about newspapers and magazines. e e "THERE is another vital point. Most old and long establish ed industrial companies, the "economic empires" and "poten tial monopolies" have very large "invested capital" rela tively unburdened with debt. Most new and up-and-coming little fellows have much larger proportions of debt. Six percent isn't so bad for the big guy. It is poison and bankruptcy to the little one. He can't get out of debt at six percent. The real murderous bearing of this Morgenthau suggestion is not on the companies at all. They are mostly corporations artificial persons. The real bear ing is on the man in the street who has bought a few shares of common stock in this or that company not for speculation but for investment. He did that on the universal rule of market prices, not on the trick and Inapplicable rule of "return on invested capital," but on the long established principle of earnings per share. e e e "VNCE Mr. Morgenthau's sv.g- gestion becomes law large but Indeterminable proportion of the holdings of Investors in common stocks would become chaff in the wind. Perhaps unconsciously, but nevertheless effectively, almost every recent policy, headlong priorities, proposed piece-meal price legislation and now this six percent nonsense has tended i toward an alarming increase of monopoly and destruction of' small enterprise In the United I States.

Caa Uau Iruuao waat ada, Wake Up!Mr. Rosenbaum There Is but one railroad serv ice between California and Ore gon and Washington states, and it is operated as monopolies were handled in the 1890 s. That line into the northwest Is the Southern Pacific. Where the Southern Pacific has com petition it attempts to match its rivals. Between California and the northern states it has no competition, it take advantage of that fact, and the public and the three states suffer. There are no fast trains. There are no through trains from Los Angeles to Seattle. There are no modern trains. There arc no modern accom modations. The service is SO years behind the times the lack of considera tion of public interest is 40 years Communications Boys Urged To Join CCC To the editor The Civilian Conservation corps camps which have done such an effective job the past eight years In Oregon and else where in conservation work, fire protection, and so forth, are gradually being disbanded be cause of the inability to get suf ficient enroll ees to keep the camps in operation. The latest regulations now provide that young men may join this organization at any time for a six months' period. Enrollment is being handled by the commanding officers at the camps, by the national park service, and by the state em ployment offices. Boys may des ignate the camps to which they wish to go. The camp at Annie Springs in Crater Lake national park, Oregon, and the camp in Lava Beds national monument, Cali fornia, have both been banner camps for many months, and both offer exceptional oppor tunities for the young man who desires to benefit himself by learning how to work and im proving himself generally. These two camps are making a special effort to enroll boys in order to build up the or ganization to the point where these camps may be continued in operation. Their value to the national park service and to the communities surrounding them is so well known that it is hoped that every available young man who might be in terested in Joining one of these camps will apply at once.

Anyway, one can see that he's been a mother's darling and made to believe he is the one and only "sweet thing." I bet you my life he'd be good to a wife. As Art Perry says: "He would wash the dishes with her, Hang out the wash with her. And mop the floor with her." O boyl You know any mother ought to be proud of a son like Danny. I bet when she gets old he will find her a nice place to board at the Old Ladles' home. What do you say lady "slugs and fugitives?" Let's give Dan ny a nice masquerade party?
