O There Is little doubt that the
president's much discussed re
mark on freedom of religion in
Russia was a mistake by Mr.
, Roosevelt. Even allowing for
misquotation and misinterpreta
tion, on the face of the recorded
transcript it was a mistake. It
was obviously intended, on the
eve of congressional debate on
"lease-lend" aid to Russia, to
deodorize the communist anti
religion stench In the nostrils of
an American people who, from
the beginning, have shown
themselves willing to sacrifice
anything for freedom of every
man to worship In accordance
with the dictates of his own con
science. It was a mistake because too
many people know that it is a
prize principle of communism
that religion is an opiate dope
that persuades people to bear
A with governmental tyrannies and
to solace themselves with a
trust in God, who, in the philo
sophy of Marx, Lenin and
Stalin, simply does not exist.
e
A whole new generation has
been reared In "holy Russia"
tn a rigid education in this philo
sophy. Her religious shrines
have been deformed. She is anti
religious in her religion. Re
gardless of any so-called Russian
constitutional declarations re
gardless of any "declaration" by
Stalin for religious liberty, he
couldn't reverse the principles
of his own Hfe-time, he couldn't
undo in a proclamation his work
on the minds of Russian youth
at least he couldn't do it effec
tively enough to carry conviction

Southern Oregon Granges have
been asked by Dr. Frederick D.
Strieker, state health officer, to
discontinue offering bounties on
certain rodents because of the
danger of spreading bubonic
plague.
He said that because of two
plague deaths In northern Cali
fornia this summer, and because
the parasites had been found on
rodents in southeastern Oregon,
it was advisable that none be
handled.
The last plague death In Ore
gon was in Lake county in 1934,

DODGERS COLLECT
ONLY FOUR BLOWS
Near Free-For-AII Starts In
Wordy Exchange Between
Dimaggio and Wyatt.
Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, Oct.
8. The New York Yankees won
the World series today, four
games to one, as they defeated
the luckless Dodgers, 3 to 1, In
a tense struggle marked by a
near free-for-all fight between
the rival players In the fifth in
ning. "Tiny" Bonham, 200-pound
Yankee mound star, subdued the
Dodgers with four hits to best
Whitlow Wyatt in a stirring
pitching duel before the largest
crowd of the three-games here
34,072. Wyatt allowed only six
safeties and struck out nine bat
ters, but lost the battle in the
second inning when he Issued a
walk to Charley Keller and was
solved for singles by Bill Dickey
and Joe Gordon.
Score In Third
The Dodgers gained their lone
run In the third, which Wyatt
opened with a double to left,
reached third on an infield hit
and scored on Pete Reiser's out
field fly. From there on until
the final out of the series in the
ninth inning they got only one
more blow off Bonham, a single
by Walker In the eighth.
Hot tempers flared In the
fifth, when Joe DIMaggio of the
Yankees, irked by the fact that
he had been struck out his first
two times at bat and angered at
several pitches that had made
him duck, strode toward Wyatt
on the pitching mound, saying
what he thought about It.
Wyatt started to meet htm,
and Instantly both players were
surrounded by their hair-trigger
teammates, begging for trouble.
The umpires tore into the center
of the mass to hold DiMaggio and
Wyatt apart, and after a moment
of uncertainty DiMaggio per
mitted another Yankee to lead
him back to the dugout There
obviously was bad blood be
tween the two teams at the con
clusion of the hot intra-clty
series.

Death Takes Brandeis,
Famed Liberal Jurist
Washington, Oct. 6. P Death has ended the career of
Louis Dembitz Brandeis, noted liberal Jurist and first Jew ever
named to the supreme court
The former associate Justice,"
long a sufferer from a heart ail
ment, died shortly after 7 o'clock
last night It was heart trouble
which prompted his retirement
from the supreme court on Feb
ruary 13, 1030, and a severe at
tack at his home here Wednes
day led to his death. He was
84.
The family announced that the
funeral, for which arrangements
were incomplete, would be
strictly private and requested
that no flowers be sent. Me
morial services would be held
later, the announcement said.
Brandeis, who summed up his
own philosophy of life as "high
thinking and simple living,'' had
no experience as a Judge when
President Wilson nominated him
for associate Justice in 1918. But
he was nationally known for his
activity In and out of court on
behalf of labor unions and
against "high finance." Particu
larly notable was his battle
against a project to unite eastern
rail, trolley and coastal steam
ship lines under the New York.
New Haven and Hartford rail
road. Because of his social views his
nomination to the court preci
pitated acgrlmonious debate and
protracted hearings. It was not
until four months after his
nomination was sent to the sen
ate on January 28, 1918, that It
was confirmed by a vote of 47
to 22, with 27 not voting.
Brandeis was born in Louisville.-
He studied in schools
there and In the Realschule of
Dresden, Saxony, then the Har
vard law school. He practiced
law in St. Louis In 1878 and
moved next year to Boston,
i He was married la 1891 to

KNOCKOUT MARCH
AGAINST MOSCOW
OFFENSIVE PLAN
Offer Of Peace To Britain
And Allies Will Follow
Russian Fall Is Theory.
By the Associated Praas 1
A vast new German offensive,
with Moscow perhaps aa its
principal goal and the siege of
Leningrad subordinated, ap
peared to be emerging today oa
the long eastern front
It was possible that Germany
was straining every muscle for
a swift victory in Russia so aa
to be able to present Britain and
her allies with a matter accom
plished and an offer of "peace"
before the end of the year.
Information reaching Cairo,
including that brought by aa
American Just arrived from
German controlled territory.
was that Hitler would offer
peace to both Britain and the
United States before 1942, lgnor.
tog Britain meanwhile except to,
carry out reprisals in kind for
air attacks en Germany.
Husgea Oa Russia
All this pivots immediately of
course, on the chance Hitler has
of knocking Russia out of tha
war and building hi "new
order" in Europe.
The forecast of the peace of
fer gained considerable credence
In both British and Amerrlcais
diplomatic quarters at Cairo.
Authoritative sources in Lon
don which have been calling tha
turn of the gigantic struggle,
now in its 18th week, said tha
offensive "on a very consider
able scale" bad been launched
all along tha front with tha
possible exception of the Lenin
grad area where German activ
ity seemed to have dwindled.
The offensive may be tha
"gigantic" operation of which
Adolf Hitler hinted in his sports
pa last speech last Friday. At
least that was the line taken by
German commentators.
Like Mew Campaign
Berlin, however, gave no Indi
cation of the goal of the new
drive, but Dlenst Aus Deutsch
land, a commentary close to offi
cial circles, said the operations
were so great as to be "similar
to the opening of a new cam
paign." A Russian move on tha out
side of the Leningrad siege lines
apparently was timed with a
thrust from the Inside, but tha
Germans said that It too, was
shattered with "heavy and
bloody losses" for tha Russians.
"Troops which were landed
west of Leningrad were wiped
out or taken prisoner," a com
munique said. "Several fully
laden ships were sunk and 23
tanks, including seven of super
heavy types were destroyed."
On Germany's air fronts, tha
high command announced a Rus
sian port on the sea of Azov was
bombed, along with an Import
ant traffic Junction west of Mos
cow and military objectives In
Leningrad, a 2,300-ton British
vessel was sunk 230 miles west
of Brest and British military
emplacements were bombed In
the Shetland Islands.
In north Africa German bomb
ers assailed Tobruk two nights
ago and struck again at the Sues
roadstead, the high command
said. So far aa Germany and Bri
tain themselves were directly
concerned, tha rival air foirea
were inactive or only recoanouV
