. Washington, D. C, reports
there Is "too much loose talk"
these days. There also appears
to be too many talkers loose.
Coot county has a mule prob
lem. In 1939, It was decided to
build a community house for the
Coos Bay Indians, and a span of
mules were dispatched there to
assist in the clearing of the
building site "a site already
logged-off and which could have
been reduced to comparltive
evenness of surface In a Jiffy
with a bulldozer," the Coos Bay
Times editorially notes. Now,
the original need, if any, for the
government mules has long since
passed, and they have grown
fat from long loafing in the
pleasant pastures "and nobody
wants them." The Great White
Father, insists however, the
aborigines should have them,
and pay for them "in such in
stallments as might be fixed."
There the matter rests, both
ides unyielding. There seems
nothing to do but swap the
mules off for a rowboat, almost
a household conveyance in much
watered Coos, or wait until the
next deer season, and trust both
will be accidentally shot for one.
The threatened special session
of the legislature, If called, will
be early in January. This
would be a fine way to start off
a New Year.
The president challenges the
argument of John L. Lewis, the
rambunctious C.I.O. boss, and
hit the validity of that gent's
position in the coal strike. What
the country needs is another
Graver Cleveland or Calvin
Coolidge, former presidents, who
on two historic occasions, wasted
no time in suppressing bullhead
edness in union leaders. Both
survived, politically.
Bracing weather of the past
couple of days has braced a
goodly portion of the population
up against a stove, or kindred
heating apparatus.
DECEITFUL THINGS!
(Red Bluff (Calif.) News)
"The most amazing feature
of preliminaries to starting a
war is the fact that nobody
appears to be mad at anybody.
A m b a ssadors extraordinary
and prodigious call on a po
tential enemy with a smile, a
smirk, a profound bow, soft
spoken words and a hand
shake that looks like a seal of
everlasting friendship. They
go out to dinner together and
ere tickled pink to outdo each
other in courtesy."
The late Los Angeles earth
quake was due to a "fault."
Everybody has them.
The secession movement, orig
inally started by Curry county
and from which she profited by
wide publicity, has spread to
Siskiyou county, Calif. It this
keeps up these parts will soon
be known as the Balkans of the
Pacific coast. Benton county
has not threatened to Join the
Insurgents, unless O.S C. Is
named for Rose Bowl game, but
may. Nevertheless, the alert
and wide-awake Grants Tass
Cavemen, who hate publicity
like a chorus 'girl, pop up un
erringly on the edge of the seces
sion, in their moth-eaten coyote
hides, and long underwear, due
to the frost on the pumpkin,
waving their cotton-batten war
clubs, and threaten all the sun
dry with a glass of lukewarm
cougar blood. They are the
most indefatigable publicity
hounds on either side of the
Rockies.
There is a shortage of golf
balls in Germany, the depart
ment of commerce says
The Best Chance of Peace
The best chance for peace in this Kurusu confer
ence, is the fact that neither nation really wants war.
And as an important corollary to that, neither
nation is satisfactorily prepared for war.
'THE conference has been compared frequently with
Munich. But there is little similarity.
At Munich Britain and France did not want war.
And, as far as that goes Hitler didn't, if he could get
what he wanted without it.
But Hitler was PREPARED for war, and had his
terms been denied he undoubtedly would have de
clared it. In this sense therefore he did want it, for
he was ready for it, and definitely preferred war to
a diplomatic defeat.
When two parties meet in an effort to avoid war,
with one side well prepared and the other not, there
is never much question as to the result, the stronger
side gets the better of it.
tfa Sfr y t
THAT was the case at Munich, it was a creat victory
1 for Hitler. But there is
tit u i
tunic in itniiingiuii.
For while Japan is probably more eager for peace
with the United States, than the other way around ;
for this country to have a war on two fronts would
be no Sunday school picnic and the present adminis
tration is undoubtedly willing to make material con
cessions to avoid it.
CO while this department can't see, and never has
'J been able to see, how a clash with Japan in the
Pacific can be permanently avoided, we can see how
at the present time it might be postponed.
And the basic reason would be, that neither nation,
at this particular stage of the game, WISHES it.
It May Be No Joke
Judge Coleman is altogether too casual about this
Southern Oregon secession movement.
With Curry county, Oregon now joined by Siskivou
and Del Norte counties, California, and a combined
war chest of $100! to dismiss the rebellion as a
"mere advertising stunt in which Jackson county
refuses to join," is entirely too Neroesque !
Or was it Nero who fiddled while Rome burned?
Whoever it was how has our County Judge the
temerity, in view of recent tragic world events, to
dismiss any popular uprising, however small, as just
an advertising stunt
What was Hitler's original beer hall putsch but an
advertising stunt, for a half-baked cataleptic corporal,
who couldn't even put on a roll of wall-paper straight.
It was a joke, just another publicity stunt. But
because the conservative people of Germany treated
it as such, look where they are now, and where is
Adolf! ' v ,
'
MO, judge, in this day and age don't be so mid
Victorian as to dismiss anything of such a
REVOLTING nature as just a publicity stunt.
Not only the Nazi revolution but the present war
in Europe, started as merely publicity stunts, at
least that is what the enemies of this Austrian upstart
and show-off called them.
But now look at the mess.
We don't say the malcontents of Curry, Siskiyou
and Del Norte are going to advance on Jackson coun
ty AT ONCE, but don't forget, judge, great oaks
from little acorns grow and the Chicago fire was
started by a lantern's wick.
So why take a chance? Why try to laugh it off and
just irritate and further arouse the malcontents?
You should at least in the interest of public security
and Oregon solidarity oil up that cannon across the
ptreet from the court house, and inform the "Sheriff's
posse" to be in readiness!
Freedom of the Seas?

partment for patriotically upholding the "freedom of
the seas."

EFFECT Of INTENSE HE
A manufacturer of metal Im
plements asks for information
concerning harmful effects of
expos ure of
the eyes to the
ultra vi o 1 e t
rays of weld
ing machines
and would like
to know at
what distance
from the arc
the rays may
be injurious to
the eyes,
It is not only
the ultra-violet
rays but the
infrared or heat
rays that are
!"early oru injurious to
ltne eve. A temperature of over
7000 degrees F. Is attained by
the electric arc. The intense heat
as well as the intense light emit
ted by molten metal and molten
glass causes the cataract which
furnace workers, puddlers, glass
blowers and sheet glass workers
so often develop.
Even cold ultraviolet light,
however, is injurious to the eyes
when exposure is excessive. For
instance the "klieg eyes" of cin
ema workers or actors, eye in
flammation (conjunctivitis) with
a sensation of heat, hypersensi
tiveness to light (photophobia)
lacrimation (excessive tear se
cretion) and redness of the cov
ering of eyeball. This is caused
by the ultraviolet rays from the
carbon arc of the lamps used in
obtaining interior pictures.
At what distance from the arc
the ultraviolet rays may injure
the eyes one guests is as good as
another. If exposure is frequent
or prolonged damage may be
done at a distance of fifteen or
twenty feet.
Sir William Crook es devised
one kind of glass that cuts off
over 90 per cent of the heat
rays, another that is opaque to
the shorter ultra-violet rays
which are the most injurious,
doth kinds cannot be used or
made in one lens.
Electric welders should wear
all-metal helmets with windows
of Crookes glass or other glass
of similar sort, or several layers
of red and blue glass, or a flat
piece of Crookes glass coated
with an extremely thin layer of
22 karat gold which is protected
by a flat piece of hard white
crown glass. The gold layer
screens or reflects half of the
red and practically all of the
infra-red or heat rays. The ultra
violet rays are thrown back or
screened out by the Crookes
glass which allows visible light
to pass freely but absorbs or
throws back the ultra-violet.
The visible light may be regulat
ed by varying the thickness of
the gold according to the re
quirements of the work.

MILITARY men will watch
this enterprise with acute
interest, because it seems prob
able the Germans will uncover
spme of the methods they have
been rehearsing for the at
tempted crossing of the English
channel if and when,
ris generally assumed that the
Germans are preparing to in
vade the Caucasus, where the
bulk of Russia's oil Is located.
If you will glance at your map
you will see In moment why
forcing a crossing at Kerch is
desirable. It provides a short
cut to the Caucasus.
Otherwise it will be necessary
for the nazis to fight their way
clear around the Sea of Azov
and lengthening of their com
munication lines is becoming a
problem already.
e
TTHERE is always the possi-
bility that Turkey may be
brought over to the German
side, either by diplomatic guile
or by force. That, as your map
will show you, would provide
the opportunity for a German
pincers movement against the
Caucasus.)
e e
ANOTHER strategic point In
the Russian fighting is at
Tikhvcn, which you will find on
your map about 100 miles east
ward from Leningrad.
After finding Tikhven. go on
and locate Archangel. You will
note that Tikhven lies at the be
ginning of a long road with
Archangel at Its end.
It is a DIFFICULT road, but
Murmansk and Archangel are
the shortest route for getting
American supplies into Russia
and it may be taken for granted
that Germany will do everything
she can to close it.
That is one reason for the
long and stubborn defense of
Leningrad.
e e
lEEP your eye on this situa
tion In the north. It pro
vides the principal reason for
German pressure on Finland to
keep on fighting.

Visits Capital
Br Jena W. Kelly -
Washington; D. C, Nov. 19.
DR. IRA C. GABRIELSON, for
mer resident of Oregon, where
he was with the biological sur
vey, and now chief of the fish
and wildlife service (new title
for the biological survey) Is
what might be called an un
friendly witness to the aspira
tions of Klamath Falls to have a
bombing base located there. The
argument has become quite seri
ous with Frank Jenkins, news
paper publisher; C. E. Reynolds,
secretary of the chamber of
I commerce, and all other civic
; boosters about the wildlife ref
uge at Tule and lower Klamath
lakes; military boards and the
conservationists all participat
ing. Army air corps was very in
terested in Klamath Falls as a
base for bombers until the ques
tion of the birds came up Ca
nadian honkers and just plain
ducks. Whether or not Klamath
Falls is selected depends, it ap
pears, on the birds. Proposed
site of the bomber base is about
14 miles from the bird sanctu
aries which,' ordinarily, should
be ample distance, but the mod
ern bomber has speed of 300
miles an hour and would arrive
at the refuge in nothing flat, if
it went in that direction.
What effect would the bomb
ers have on the ducks? What ef
fect would the ducks have on
the fliers? These are the out
standing points being investigat
ed. Dr. Gabrielson (who has to
stand up for his bureau) says the
ducks would be excited by the
roaring of the bombers, and
when ducks are excited they
take to the air. The birds fly to
Tule lake and to lower Klamath,
back and forth. Dr. Gabrielson
makes this his strong point.
BUT there is the other point
what the ducks would do to
the army pilots. It has happened
in the past (with reports in the
press) that flying geese have
struck planes In midair, which
finished the goose and scared or
injured the pilot. As planes are
now constructed a goose might
not break a propellor, but there
is no telling what would happen
if out of tha nowhere a duck or
honker slapped through the
pilot's enclosure' and struck him
in the face or landed in his lap.
This would be a matter of sec
onds with a bomber speeding at
300 miles and a goose going
anywhere from 35 to 100 miles.
An army pilot has not time to
watch the birds and there would
be a collision before he could
swerve his bomber. Much can
happen In a second in the air,
KLAMATH FALLS Is devel
oping a fine municipal airport.
Private fliers go to the Falls for
duck hunting. It is suggested
that the experience and the
opinion of these private fliers
be obtained, or that a few bomb
ers be sent to the area to gather
first hand Information. Dr. Gab
rielson admits that the ducks
are not everlastingly at the two
refuges. They are there about
40 days twice a year the south
ern flight and the northern
flight and the flight strip of
the birds is less than two miles
wide, the well known fly-away,
as the sportsmen designate it.
Senator Charles L. McNary, a
champion of conservation and a
great lover of the birds (he has
a flock of wild ducks at his
Fircone farm near Salem) is try
ing to iron out the situation; has
had talks with General Arnold,
in charge of air force for the
army, and with Dr. Gabrielson.
The senator wants the bomber
base at Klamath Falls and he
does not want the ducks Inter
fered with. He Is now accumu
lating all the information ob
tainable. FARM security administration
has decided to establish a per
manent clinic at Nyssa for the
benefit of migratory workers. It
will also install a "light con
struction" camp instead of a
mobile camp.

The board simply cannot func

Hillman sllnoed out to Detroit
several days in advance to or
ganize the anti-Lewis forces.
First convention blood was

but Mr. Lewis was aiming his

henchmen are inclined to blame
all their troubles on Hillman.
FIRST result of the altered me

the quiet old U. S. conciliation
service is likely to get more and
more prominence as government

has withdrawn Its case from the
