In 193S, when he was running for president (GOP), Alf M. Lon don of Kansas kept telling the masses, the Wagner act was " gun in the hands. of irrespons ible labor leaders." The cur rent tantrums of John L. Lewis the last 10 days prove he was right, but it's too late now, and, besides the votes have all been counted. . A number of Oregon football squads are battling In the Rose Bowl before they get there, and winning games before they play them. ' Robert Madden, nine, a cub mate of the Art Hess boy Blllle, called the past week, and drew a map of Nevada. He did fine for a nine-year old. S. (Farm-Fresh) Morris, the T-Rk. tiller, who recently bested pneumonia, is still in town all the time. A man wearing no hat was caught scolding a lady for wear ing no socks Wed. She told him to mind his own business and turn up his overcoat collar. Youngln's have started look ing for S. Claus, and the first signs of tha Yule season were strung across the street the past week. A delegation from the coast was here Wed. and wanted Jack son county to help them carve a new state out of Oregon and California. With war, strikes and general confusion rampant. It Is generally regarded as no time to start whittling on such tomfoolery. They called them selves 'The Oppressed Coun ties," but none of the delegates or their autos looked It. F. Fry, the tonsorlallst, ran up to E. Ulrich'i of the Prospect Thurs. and ate his way through a feast, with only 11 kinds of jelly on the table. F. Luy, the antelope cowhand, repelled the Icy blasts Tues. In his calfskin vest with the hair running the wrong way. France went over to Hitler's Germany boots and britches Thurs. and Uncle Sam announc ed as long as Oer Fuehrer was giving them orders, he could give them their beans. It's a tough way to treat an old friend, but their leaders asked for It Peoria Bill Gates' store was 21 years old Sat. He had a birthday himself recently, and its been about 40 years since he cast his first vote. Jack Frost, whose spring visits are detested called several times last week and put the kibosh on lawns. The respite Is welcomed by lawn mowers and their mo tive power. Tha B. Tornado will Journey to The Dalles this week to tangle with the Columbia river team. They have been tolling assldi ously for the event, and coming or going they will get a good look at Bonneville dam. Cloeuig unw ice Claaaified Ads b "too Late k Classify 1340 p An Unworthy Proposal The strike situation throughout the country is get ting steadily worse. Meanwhile there is a great deal of talking in Washington but precious little action. What's the idea? Does the administration intend to let matters drift until the condition becomes so critical only military action can save it? It certainly looks that way. Here for example is one of President Roosevelt's right hand men in the Senate, Connally of Texas, proposing the upper house repeal the Guffey Act if CIO doesn't call off the coal strike. llE trust President Roosevelt didn't sanction this sort of back-handed, retaliatory makeshift If the Guffey Act, sanctioned and vigorously sup ported by the administration, was desirable labor legislation at the time it was passed it is desirable legislation TODAY. If it wasn't desirable legislation then the adminis tration should never have advocated and passed it. To repeal desirable legislation, merely as a punish ment to one division of organized labor, or worse as a threat, would, as we see it, be unworthy any government of responsible and self-respecting men. a a THIS strike problem, at this critical time in national and world affairs, is an extremely serious one, and demands immediate, thorough going and effect ive action. It is no time to make faces, slap wrists, or threaten to do this spiteful thing or that, if the other side doesn't do thus and so. It is time to take the bull by the horns, so to speak, and throw him.' This country is engaged in a life and death strug gle with the totalitarian foes of democracy and the American way of life. , Victory or defeat may well rest upon the single fact of MAXIMUM U. S. industrial production, dur ing the next six or eight months. Unless this epidemic of strikes is checked, and checked at once that maximum production will be impossible.' i IN this department's judgment the emergency de- mands the passage of legislation outlawing all strikes in defense industry, war. The Roosevelt administration should not waste valuable time in half-baked expedients or exhibitions of futile frustration, resentment, and pique. It should act vigorously, definitely and AT ONCE. Whose Country Is This? Last week in Missouri, some soldiers from a train ing camp desired to give a show for a state editorial meeting a show that would tell the story of the joys and sorrows of an American A labor union stepped in war department so that the show was cancelled. It would compete with professional actors I IT is getting time to find out who is running this country whether for instance the accredited pub lic servants or an extraneous organization with fascist leaders outside of government, the labor unions' big bosses of this land, are running this land of the free, if it is free, and this home of the brave if we've got any guts left I THE country has been particularly generous in its treatment of labor in the last 10 years. The coun try has given to labor every privilege and immunity which it has asked. The country is extending the mid dle class to encompass labor. HAVE LABOR LEADERS GOT NO SENSE? Don't they realize that the people of this country, the common run of folks, give and the common r.eople take away and blessed be the name of the plain American people? The middle class are trying to abolish the prole tariat, to make it easy for labor to join up, to be one of them. But when labor stands aloof and tries to n:n the country well There's got to be a Fhow down and we have to find out who really is boss around here. William Allen White in Emporia (Kansas) Gazette. Communications AS TO STATE OLD AGE PENSIONS To the editor: To penslon minded voters. Our enemy has cause to rejoice, because from a defense standpoint there Is a lack of unity, evident in Ameri ca. Again there is a lark when any problem of Importance to the cit liens of Oregon is pre sented for consideration. An outstanding example, wherein lack of unity, because of poli tical or organisational differ ences, slow up constructive acti vity, can be found In the pen sion question for sued men and women. There are enough pension- j minded voters In Oregon, If woraing in narmony, to gel a reasonable stole pension for the aged. If the Gallup poll figures are anywhere near correct, 91 per cent are favorable to federal old age pensions. At the present time the pre dominating thought is to organ Ire for defense of our nation. This Is commendable. We will then be prepared and ready for whatever may come. Along WiUi our preparation for the duration of the soldier training in camp. and put pressure on the to combat death and destruction of all we hold dear, resulting from invasion, we should Include the defense of our aged citizens against rapidly rising living costs. This Is possible by the enactment of a reasonable old age pension, a state pension to be available, until such a time as congress enacts a federal old age pension, and It is placed in operation. California and Wash ington both have state pensions. Oregon should do likewise, and thus help to make a satisfied citizenry of our first line of de fense. L. F. LOZIER, Ashland, Oregon. Ed. Note. There Is a maxi mum old age pension of $40 a month paid In Oregon now, on the basis of need the govern ment supplying half, the state 60 per cent, the county 40 per cent of the remaining halt.

THE BIS SHOTS SHOULD MAKE UP THEIR MINDS ABOUT MALNUTRITION Three of the most skilful pub licity hounds in or of the medi cal profession got together re- cently and gave out, thru the v e n u es they know so well, a blast of bombastic de nunciation o f the "vitamin craze." The only half-way u b s t a n tial basis for the c h a racteristic outburst was the equivocal statement that records of three large hospitals for several years showed that nutritional defici ency is only rarely diagnosed in hospitals. , On the other hand the big shots and the acknowledged medical authorities have been dining in our ears through the past decade that nutritional de ficiency is one of the commonest causes of ill health in this coun try, and they have ascribed the nutritional deficiency chiefly to insufficient intake of vitamins. That this widespread nutri tional deficiency Is not diagnosed or apparently even suspected as a diet or contributing cause of the disabilities that bring pati ents to the public hospitals may seem highly significant to these shrewd publicity hounds but not to any one who is capable of thinking for himself. In the first place, the percentage of diagnostic error is at least as great in public hospitals as it is In private practice, and no doubt the hospital staff mem bers (who generally owe their appointment on the staff to other circumstances than actual pro fessional ability) have not yet learned to recognize nutritional deficiency diseases in the earlier or milder stages. In the next place, probably ninety-nine out of a hundred persons with func tional ailments due to mild or moderate nutritional deficiency never go to a hospital unless for emergency not related to their nutritional condition. Oddly enough one of these publicity hounds who Issued the half-baked manifesto is closely associated with other big shots who are industriously promoting the scheme to doctor white bread, that is, to dope it up with dashes of this and that syne thetic vitamin, for the avowed purpose of increasing the vita min Intake of the general bread eating public! This "enrich ment" or "restoration" of bread News Behind The News By Paul Mallon . (Continued Pram Page One) War would close Vladivostok almost automatically, and threaten the Burma route ser iously. So also with Japan. While she howls "encirclement" and pretends to be an axis partner, her real interest Is to get the raw materials from us and Britain to sustain her economic life. She is only trying diplo matically to break the block ade, by threats and negotiation. Hitler is too far away to do Japan any good, economically or otherwise. War would only double the economic trouble Japan Is now in. The blockade would be tightened. Without oil and mu nitions she cannot conduct a successful fight against a major power like the U. S. Her fleet would have to hide in home waters, She cannot even Invade the Dutch East Indies past those British and U. S. bases in Singapore and the Philip pines. While peace may be impos sible, war would be suicide for her and foolish for us. e AI R Russian aid Is taking a tedious new route. It goes FALSE TEETH SHOULD FIT!

D. is, in my opinion, a sorry com promise with the fundamental modern American nutritional de ficiency factor the use of white bread in place of whole wheat. But the beauty of it is that the politicians who are in control of American medicine can get theirs out of the enormous in dustry involved if the scheme to make "enrichment" of bread compulsory is effective. Either nutritional deficiency or malnutrition is widespread in this country or practically every body is well nourished even on the'everyday refined died of the great mass of people. It is time the big shots In or of the medical profession made up their minds about it. QUESTIONS ii ANSWERS Hernia Cured Early in 1940 I wrote you about my hernia.

D. 26S El Camloo, Beverly Hills, Calif. : by ship to Murmansk (Arctic warm water port, open all win ter), thence south by rail to Kandalaksha, a White sea port, then by Archangel, and finally down the railroad to Vologda, where it is distributed. The dis tribution so far has largely been in the direction of Omsk, where new Russian armies are form ing. The trip takes weeks. The nazis are very close to Kandalaksha. If either that point or Vologda falls, the route is lost. e e pHURCHILL thinks he is 7 winning the second battle of the Atlantic. Naval authorities here are Inclined to believe he I may be right, but perhaps a little ahead of himself. It is true Hitler's latest sub offensive has not taken a great toll and has lost many submarines, but the battle is not over. Germany probably has more rubs today than at tha start of the war. She started with 120 mediums and 180 building. By authoritative calculation, she has lost about 140, and has put 180 additional new ones into service. Thus while she had about 300 built and building at the beginning, she has about 340 today.

Both say they are in charge of distribut ing the tankers which Britain is returning. The Job would nominally fall to a tanker committee com posed of Davies, chairman, one representative of the maritime commission and three naval of ficers, but the M. C. does not like its minority position on that committee. Since the scrap broke, Mr. Roosevelt has named (without announcement) another com mittee to handle oil service for foreign nations State Secretary Hull, Ickes and Chairman Land of the maritime commission. This committee will allocate oil, and presumably also tank ers for transportation abroad. On this committee, Mr. Ickes is one and alone. Kelly's Comment From Washington Tax Exemption Given Britain Alaska Highway Hat Stimaon Okeh Furniture Price Lid Threatened : By Joha W. Kelly; Washington, D. C, Nov. 22 Exemption from taxation by state, county or city of any Brit ish possessions or property or transaction in the United States is the proposal in a treaty signed by Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Lord Halifax, British ambassador, on October 16. It is regarded as such a secret treaty that the senate committee on foreign relations was requested to consider and approve it be hind closed doors. High con tracting parties realized that a storm of protest would come from the American people, not to mention the taxing bodies, if the contents of the treaty be came known. So sweeping is the treaty that British controlled insurance companies; British-owned min ing properties; British mortgage companies (they have a thriv ing business in the northwest), and American securities held by British subjects would, it is con strued, be exempt from any sort of tax. In Washington and Ore gon are valuable tracts of land owned by British people. What Lord Halifax promised in return has not been divulged, but the United States is paying import duties to the British for material and supplies used in constructing army and navy bases and on gifts to the Chinese using the Burma road, in addi tion to paying British shipown ers for taking land-lease food and munitions to England; pay ing dockage and longshoremen wages In the British ports In South Africa, Cairo and else where; has been paying on bombers flown to Canada to be ferried to England. The secret treaty would exempt admission tax on the Innumerable circuses, cocktail parties and similar money-raising benefit! for Bri tain. ONLY way of reaching the military posts in Alaska are either by steamer or airplane. Rep. Warren G. Magnuson of Washington, chairman of the Alaskan international highway commission, is to eponsor an authorization for building highway to Alaska, across Can ada. It will be an extension of Pacific highway U. S. 99. Secre tary of War Henry L. Stimson favors $29,000,000 for the pro ject; Canada will provide the right-of-way, possibly purchased with lend-lease funds. President Roosevelt has not expressed himself on the Alas kan road, but wants $20,000,000 to extend an international high way to Panama (good neighbor HOTEL CORNELIUS 523 8. W. Park.

The committee, with the president's proposal, is taking no action, pending whether the president vetoes the $139,000, 000 read bill .for the United States. Secretary Henry Morgen thau recommends that the U. S. road bill be forgotten until after the duration. If Morgenthau's advice is followed it would mean the loss of millions of dol lars to the- Pacific northwest states. Northwest delegations are a unit for this road measure and representatives of civic bod ies from that area have been in the national capital for months working on it, e o THE lid is coming down on the price of furniture, according to Leon Henderson. During the past ten months the price of fabrics for upholstery furniture has skyrocketed 24 percent. The 300 makers of fabrics (28 pro duce more than 50 percent) have not given OPM a cost sheet but Henderson contends there is no justification for an Increase of such proportions. Furniture makers in the northwest have had to pay the constantly up plng of fabrics, such as mohair cloth made from the Angora goats of Washington, until Hen derson has had to step in. The furniture industry is further handicapped in obtaining steel springs. The small amount of steel furniture produced in the northwest is threatened with a complete shutdown of materials. SENATOR BONE of Washing ton, Senator McNary of Oregon, Representative Pierce of Oregon and Representative Dworsak of Idaho all have forwarded let ters from constituents to the comptroller general regarding Spanish-American war veterans who are now threatened with lawsuits by a Kansas attorney. The veterans are entitled to travel pay and subsistence and have put in their claims through the lawyer. In making the appropriation congress stipulated that $10 was all the fee that a lawyer could charge. This lawyer is asking for much more, a substantial percentage of the claim. Comp troller General Lindsay Warren has written to the legislators that he is not in position to make a decision, and suggests that a case or two be taken into court for a judicial determina tion. This throws the matter back in the laps of the veterans, residents of the three states. The requests had been for the comp troller general to deny the claim of the lawyer. Mr. Warren ap pears to think that if the lawyer simply filed the claim the $10 fee is enough, but if he actually aided in securing passage of the bill he may be entitled to more.
