Editorial Correspondence
Washington, D. C, Nov. 28 It Is easier to get out of a war
department building than to get In. You merely have to return
the visitor badge to the desk, get a blue card in return, hand It
to the policeman at the door and depart. We never saw such
lightweight policemen as they have at these buildings. General
Jackson could knock any two of them over with his one-two
punch. Perhaps they are chosen for speed, not heft!
Heard true story In the hotel breakfast room this morning.
At least the narrator swore the experience was his. He comes
from Charlottsville and engaged a room at the Willard two weeks
In advance. There was some mistake and the reservation was not
made. The man made the rounds of the hotels, for two hours after
dark with no luck, and finally spent the night with the taxi driver,
which made hlra feel better about his taxi bill which was $3.70.
Have met various and sundry citizens of Oregon who have
been here anywhere from three weeks to three months trying to
get this or that accomplished. They are certainly a "regusted"
bunch, threaten to go home every day but usually something
comes up at the 11th hour to persuade them to stick it another
24 hours at least.
Red tape, red tape, red tape and Inefficiency-plus, sum up
the Invariable indictment. Good thing they are over draft age,
It wouldn't be too safe to put guns In their hands until they cool
off a bit.
Probably there are as many different opinions In the army
regarding the war as anywhere else. But the army officers we
have seen to date are pretty much concerned about the British
campaign in Libya it doesn't look too good to them, for unless
the British win and win quickly they see a loss of prestige In the
Moslem world that may well spell catastrophe in Africa and the
Near East.
- The native over there, it seems, have no loyalties but flock
en masse to th side that is or they believe will be, victorious.
And nothing but a complete knock-out of the axis powers In
Libya will, we are told, convince them the allies are to get
the best of It.
The weather continues salubrious. Cool In the mornings and
evenings, and comfortably warm during the middle of the day.
Everyone reports the most attractive fall in Washington for a
decade.
We hesitate to Indulge In any very definite judgments, after
having been In Washington only two days, but as far as the war
spirit here is concerned this much is certain, the division of
opinion Is even more noticeable, than in other parts of the coun
try. If taxi-cab drivers are any indication of popular sentiment,
and some newspaper men claim they are, then the rank and file
of the national capital are as violently opposed to Hitler and all
his works as any of the interventionists, but on the other hand,
are Just as violently opposed to engaging In the mess In Europe.
As has been previously stated In this column, the great need
of the hour Is a leadership that will give the people the cold hard
facts, and thus make it clear, that It is Impossible for this country
or any other to both have its cake and eat It. In other words,
we can't stay out of this war in Europe and also beat Hitler,
we are in the war now, the only question being whether we are
going to see It through or quit. To declare this prevailing apathy
here is disquieting Is to be guilty of extreme understatement.
A large delegation of Brazilians at this hotel enjoying an
annual S. A. tour of the states, the eastern portion thereof. They
re all, or almost all, young men, and look surprisingly like
American college undergraduates, as far as general dress and
make-up are concerned, slacks and sports coats, and tousled hair
being the popular sartorial motif. They have a couple of long
tables In the dining room, and wander In at all hours of the day,
somewhat as if they were, on shipboard. We have tried to get
some of them to express their opinions, regarding Washington
and what they have seen of the states, but the request to date has
apparently caused something akin to terror in their youthful
breasts. At least each one approached has gaspingly claimed com
plete ignorance of English, yet according to the room clerk near
ly all of them speak it, some of them fluently. No doubt they have
been told to keep their respective mouths shut, as far as expressing
their opinions publicly Is concerned. And the writer's Journalis
tic approach may be more apparent than he realizes.
.....
"Scrambled" Is the only word for Washington streets and the
general lay-out, the most confusing place in the world to one
without a guide or guide book. Fortunately taxi fares are cheap
though since th war they have gone up to a minimum of 30 In
stead of 20 cents, and we have yet to find one that can't find
an address however remote.
A much needed addition Is the new Washington airport.
still under construction, but sufficiently finished to be used by
all the transportation lines. In this balmy weather It Is difficult to
realize there are snow and Ice only few hundred miles north and
west.

NERVOUS ENERGY
So far as I can learn there
Is no difference between ordi
nary physical or muscular en
ergy expended by muscular ac
tion and the energy John Doe
c al 1 s ' nerv
ous." (Quoted
from article in
this column
Oct. 29, 1941.)
John Doe
who purports
to be a re
search e n g 1-
neer, whatever
that may be,
now enlightens
me as follows:
"Assum t n g
that you un
derstand the general physiology
of the human nervous system,
let's dig down to detail. "My
pencil moves across the paper
making writing. This is me
chanical motion. Back of this
lies muscular motion." (No
point in arguing about it, but
frankly I, Ol" Doc Brady, think
mechanical and muscular mo
tion is the same thing.) "What
drives or actuates the muscle
or causes it to act? Answer
nervous energy. Where did this
nervous energy come from? It
was transmitted over the nerves
from nerve centers, nerve cells
or neurons mostly in the brain.
What takes place In the brain?
Spiritual energy!"
And so on for two pages.
Then John Doe challenges me
to define what I mean by physi
cal energy, and declares that
"Medical science by its pro
gram of the mechanization of
man is teaching fear, defeatism
and the degradation of man!"
Being Just a plodding, door-to-door
doctor, I wouldn't know,
but maybe John Doe has solved
the mystery of life.
John Doe says his comment
is occasioned by my article
entitled "Reply to Wiseacre
Brady Derides Quotation From
Authority On Nervous Exhaus
tion". I never wrote an article
or title like that it must be
more of the office boy's work.
Perhaps John Doe is Justified
in feeling that I need enlighten
ment if my column is so mis
chievously mutilated as a regu
lar habit.
Best definition I can give for
physical energy is power of
doing work (with credit to Elroy
M. Avery, Ph. D., LL. D., author
of "School Physics," a textbook
used in the gay nineties when
I was in high school in Cana
da igua under a great and inspir
ing teacher, Wm. M. Bennett.)
I have dipped into numerous
recent textbooks without find
ing a more concise or satisfac
tory definition.

ing aircraft plant in Seattle

From three sources In Port

EXPLAINED AT LAST
But all this is aside from the
point I seek to Impress upon
the casual reader' mind, name
ly, that since there is no such
thing as "nervous energy" apart
from ordinary energy it is ob
vious that there can be no such
state as "nervous exhaustion"
and any one is a ninny who
fools along with poor or indif
ferent health under the delusion
that it is due to any such state.

EXPERTS DIFFER
IN ESTIMATE OF
JAPS'A!R FORCE
Most Writers Agree First
Line Plane Strength About
5.0CO Need More Pilots
By Devon Francis
New York, Dec. 2. (Wide
World) Tension in the Pacific
has led to a revival of occasional
warnings by commentators ac
quainted with the far east that
it would be a mistake to under
estimate Japanese air power.
Coupled with such state
ments, however, are the more
familiar appraisals of Japanese
aviation, less complementary
ind more sanguine of the out
come if the island empire cam
to grips with another major
world power.
No Middle Course
Singularly enough, In all that
has been written of Japanese
air power In the last four years,
no one has taken a middle
course. The Japanese have
either superlative airplanes and
good pilots, or they have ob
solescent planes and psor pilots.
Much of the mystery thrown
about the Japanese in the air
stems from the secrecy with
which the army and navy have
pursued their developments.
The occidental seldom if ever
is permitted to glimpse, let
alone examine, Japanese-made
warplanes.
The western world knows
that Japan In four years of
fighting has neutralized Chinese
air power, but China, of course,
had little to begin with.
At the start of the "China
incident" Japanese bombers had
notoriously poor aim, but that
was four years ago and Japan's
critics concede that the air
force had shown a vast im
provement. Have Fin Pursuit
As for planes, Mark J. Gins
bourg, far eastern correspon
dent of the Washington (D. C.)
Post, and a British army offi
cer, H. S. Mazet, wrote in Feb
ruary, 1940, that the Japanese
had a twin-engine pursuit plane
mounting from six to eight guns
and capable of 330 miles an
hour.
It had been in service more
than a year. Only now Is the
United States starting the quan
tity manufacture of a similar
type of plane
Writing in the magazine, "U.
S. Air Services," Ginsbourg and
Mazet asserted Japanese bomb
ers and fighting planes were
superior to Soviet planes form
ing the bulk of the Russian air
force In the far east. They de
scribed Japan as a major avia
tion power.
Charles Healy Day, who for
several years manufactured
planes In China for the Chiang
Kai-Shek government, said on
his return to the United States
two years ago that the work
manship and performance of
Japanese planes compared fav
orably with those of American
planes.
Ridiculed By Som.
Balanced against such state
ments are others whtch fre
quently poke ridicule at Japan
ese aviation. lucien Zacharoff,
writing in the magazine "Avia
tion," in August, said: "Japan
would crumble like a house of
cards if engaged in a great air
war."
The "Army and Navy Jour
nal," edited in Washington, D.
C, in 1937, quoted some un
named American army officers
as saying the Japanese had a
marked inaptitude for aviation,
marked by poor shooting. Lynn i
C. Thomas in the magazine j
"Western Flying" for Septem-I
ber said the Japanese air force j
suffered from "suicide psy- j
chosis" which led Its pilots de-1
Uberately to dive their bomb
laden planes into their targets.
Most writers agree that the !
Japanese do not have a prepon-j
derance of planes. An average
estimate put their first-line:
strength at 8.000 machines. Ap
parently more critical is the I
availability of pilots. Military
schools until recently were turn-;
ing out less than 1,000 a year. '

IMPROVEMENT OF
GROWING TIMBER
TRIED JUT HERE
Forest Service Experiment
In Union Creek District
Watched by Entire Service
Timber stand Improvement
work was underway today on
480 acres of the Rogue River
national forest in the Union
Creek district, headquarters here
announced.
This is the first project of
its kind undertaken on this for
est and, because of the nature
of the stand of timber involved,
is an experiment for the entire
U. S. forest service, Karl L. Ja
nouch, forest supervisor, stated.
Thinning Is the principal
method used in stand improve
ment work, Just as small plants
in gardens are thinned to aid
their growth.
Giv Sun Access
"Small sugar and white pine
trees are found growing in
ihick clumps of reproduction of
other tree species and brush,"
Mr. Janouch related. "Sufficient
cutting of the other reproduc
tion will be done to provide
needed sunlight and soil nutri
ment for the pine, thus enabling
it to grow more rapidly and in
better form and In time lo crowd
out the remaining undergrowth.
"Some trimming of pine also
will be done. This consists of
pruning the lower limbs from
the trees because limbs cause
knots and the trimming, while
the trees are young, will pro
duce a greater number of valu
able logs."
To reduce the danger of de
structive fires in the area, old,
dead, standing trees, known to
lumbermen as "snags," will be
cut down. Fire spreads more
rapidly where there are snags
than where the trees are green,
Mr. Janouch pointed out. Simi
larly, he said, the brush and
trees that are cut will be
"lopped" limbs cut off and
scattered so that there will not
be an accumulation of fire
spreading material on the
ground.
Paid By Logger
Pine and fir timber of mer
chantable size was logged by
selective cutting on this area
In the past two years, the Im
provement work now under way
being financed through pay
ment required for this pur
pose of the purchaser at the
time of the timber sale Object
of the present Improvement
project . Is to secure a future
crop of sugar and white pine
which Is now growing In mix
ture with fir and other less
valuable species, a condition
peculiar to certain areas in
southern Oregon.
"Without Interference," Mr.
Janouch said, "the pine would
be largely suppressed by the
other species Sugar and white
pine trees in this district grow
to very large size, one tree often
producing 5.000 or more board
feet of lumber. These species
brought an average market price
in 1940 of $40 a thousand at
the mills. In comparison, a fir
tree averages only about 1,000
board feet and In 1940 fir
brought an average price of
about $25 a thousand."
The 12 men doing the stand
Improvement work were em
ployed on the forest as guards
during the summer. It is ex
pected that the work will take
a month to complete.

(Of all frumps, she's the worst)
You must come up and visit me
(Not if I see you first)

On Such a Night
On such a night as this
We rode beneath the moon
Wrapped in furs and blanket.
Sled runners hummed a tun
On such a night as this
We sped down silver hills
Like swallows in swift flight
Laughing at our spills
On such a night as this
With fire-glow on the wall
We sat In flickering shadow
And swore that love was all
On such a night as this
I sigh for you, but then
Recall that since, you've loved
A dozen other men.

Contentment
A fire of crackling logs.
My chair In a cosy nook,
On guard my faithful dogs.
Near by favorite book.
