Old Marshal Petaln of France was up to his current sancti monious cussedness back in J918, and would have betrayed tha Allies then, had not Gen eral Foch had hla way, and squelched the alleged Hero of Verdun, according to an analy sis of foreign affairs by Per tlnax, one of the better com mentators. It was Pctaln's no tion to put the British troops in the hole in the Peronne sec tor, while he concentrated nls own reserves, and bullheadedly refused to listen to reason. In structions tha old fellow Issued his generals aroused suspicions, and they nipped his trickery. Gen. Weygand, recently deposed as North African commander, kept diary covering these events, from which he will write his memoirs. They should be in teresting readings, when pub lished, for those angered by a recent news photograph of Nail nabobs refusing to shake hands with "Old" Petaln. ... EXCUSE. PLEASE1 (Sheridan, Ore., Sun) "In reporting a social item last week an error in casting the line got by the proof reader and read 'Mr. and Mrs. Nicol Mclntyre," when it should have read only Mr. Mclntyre.' Mr. Mclntyre is not married and resents being placed In the columns of the Benedicts. We are sorry tha error occurred and offer our apology to all concerned." Sen. McNary brands tha New Deal price control bill, as pass ed by the House as "toothless and timorous." The esteemed Capital-Journal lauds the senior statesman for hitting the nail on tha head. The paper adds the same phrase describes the administration labor policy, which Is also whacking the nail where it will do the most good. ... The first batch of AU-Amer-lean football probabilities have been picked. It Includes one F. Albert of Stanford. The honor must have been accorded be cause the gent, against Califor nia last Saturday, from all ac counts and a few pictures, spent as much time seated as up right. ... A citizen showed up yes. after six weeks In the hills, and was mistaken for a stray third base man from a House of David team. ... Tha Pacific crisis "is still be ing weighed." Tokyo and Wash ington dispatches say. At times It looks like a fins Italian hand, was on the scales. ...

This, the na tion is warned, should not be viewed with too much opti mism. Germany is only getting the hell licked out of her prides, so why be cheerful. The people should patiently wait for an other batch of pessimistic prop aganda, and swallow it whole and bravely.

Reaches Munitions Output Goal By D.Witt Mackensia Wide World War Analyst There seems to be a cautious but growing feeling that the European war may be finished In another twelve months, the latest to venture this thought being New York's mayor La Guardia, who told tha senate naval affairs committee yester day that he expected the war day that he expected the war to try attained production goals and saw that supplies were de livered where needed. Such a prediction is too happy an idea to pass by in these days of worry. Also it is both pleasing and encouraging for this column to have the support of such a personage as tha head-man of tha world'a tallest city. We ven tured the view long ago, and have repeated it, that the trend of events indicated the possibil ity of peace some time next year though we emphasized that this obviously wasn't any cer tainty. Roosevelt Also Cited As Hopeful As a matter of fact I suspect that ona even higher than his honor gave us lead on this subject last Saturday night. I refer to President Roosevelt's "little silent prayer" during his belated Thanksgiving dinner at the Georgia Warm Springs foun dation. Referring to tha folk of the countries at war ha said: "I think wa can offer up a little silent prayer that these people will be able to hold next year a thanksgiving more like an American Thanksgiving. That Is something to dream about, perhaps." Now I don't know exactly what was in the chief execu tive's mind, but some thought he was holding out at least a glim mer of hope for an early peace. True, In almost the same breath he said "it is always possible that our boys In the military and naval academies (he had been talking about football) may be fighting for the defense of these American institutions of ours." However, it's good to be lieve that he was thinking of peace and that his qualification was merely the action of a wise man to emphasize that no cate gorical prediction could be made regarding the length of the war. Resources Play Main War Role This Isn't a war of tanks and bombers alone. The terrific pow er of the Nazi fighting machine as it has crushed and ground countries beneath its over whelming weight has rather blinded us to other factors, and no wonder. Battle fields must play their awful part In the solu tion, but this war fundamentally is one of resources. We have a Germany In the heart of a continent which is bottled up almost wholly cut off frr m the outside world. Con tinental . Europe isn't self-contained, aa this column more than once has stressed, and In Itself Is unable to support a total war such as Herr Hitler Is waging. The strength with which he started is steadily lessening, for lack of replacement. The re sources of those continental countries about him ara rapidly disappearing, or have almost al together vanished. Meantime Britain and her allies, and the United Stales with its all-out aid, ara growing in striking power by leaps and bounds. If two and two make four, then the fuehrer must break out of his encirclement to fresh re sources. The crimson flash of great guns and the roar of ex ploding bombs may distract our attention from that fact, but they cannot altogether alter it.

(asks a correspon dent) I have your pamphlet on Belly Breath ing, but have trouble con trolling my breath In sing ing (I am a student of voice). I won der if you can tell m e ex actly what happens. If, as you say, you i merely let the I diaphragm go back naturally, there Isn't 1 much CONTROL and breath rushes right out of the lungs when you sing. How much de pends on how tightly the vocal cords are stretched? Perhaps the control Is in these small mus cles around the vocal cords? i oon t expect you to be a vocal expert. Doctor, but you must understand the physiology of breathing and you probably know that SINGING IS DONE BY BREATHING UNNATUR ALLY. There seems to be end less confusion about this in the minds of vocal experts, and lit tle light on It in books on voice. If I take a good even deep breath In the way you describe and then sing I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO CONCENTRATE SO THE BREATH WILL NOT RUSH OUT TOO QUICKLY FOR GOOD PHRASING. Recently I bought a book by a man named . , . who teaches Just th opposite to your BELLY BREATHING he puts all emphasis on exhaling and pays no attention at all to in haling. Funny world. (A. K.) Although I (Ol Doc Brady) am not a voice expert and never even sing in the bathtub for that matter I have no use at all for bathtubs I imagine con trol of exhalation is of vital Im portance to a singer. Whether that is so or not, there can be no question that a fundamental knowledge of the physiology of breathing is In dispensable in the training of a singer, and such knowledge should be based on anatomy. It stands to reason that one who has learned to breathe nat urally (as the untutored savage or the animal breathes), or one who has unlearned bad breath ing habits by faithful practice -t Belly Breathing exercise, is more apt a pupil than is a nov ice with the customary faulty breathing habit who wishes to learn to sing. BELLY BREATHING exer cise (instructions on request if News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued From Pag. On.) of the country, making install ment loans, will also be affected. Purpose of the licensing Is to give the government control of small credit In order to cut down consumption of consumers goods. The defense regime is already working that way In making allocations of raw ma terials, and. of course no one objects to that, is the authority of fresh law Is behind It. But this may be Just the beginning of the history of "regulation W." a PHONIEST of all defense-era legislation Is the one passed by the house, still laughingly called a "price control bill." It fooled no one. least of all the political pressure groups which sponsored It (the cotton bloc and the Inflationists.) They readily confessed it would not accom plish Its only purpose and stop Inflation. Such a legal hodge-podge would never have passed the house, however. If two peculiar background circumstances had not arisen. One was the political personality of Leon Henderson, price control man for Mr. Roose velt, who expects to head the new setup In one way or anoth er. The real fight against a good bill, was made on him, and largely In the cloakrooms. 2 'a"-J OREGON, WEDNESDAY, Brady, M. D. L THE EXHALATION you inclose stamped envelope bearings your address) is excel lent training In RELAXATION. Now I don't know how import ant this may be in voice train ing, but I am impressed by the remark, in Dr. Edmund Jacob son's "Progressive Relaxation" (University of Chicago Press) that "Not seldom a heightened pitch of voice (familiar to sing ers) proceeds from hypertension of laryngeal (voice box) and pharyngeal (throat) muscles." The Little Flower telling them off! Inhalation, inspiration, taking in air, is a muscular act, chiefly contraction of the diaphragm. Expiration, exhalation, letting out air Is relaxation of that act or muscle contraction, plus elas tic rebound like that of an In flated rubber bag. The regular practice of BELLY BREATHING night and morning or oftener is good for everyone and especially for stu dents of voice.

Note: Persona wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Bradv. M. D. 2M T, Camlno. Beverly Hills, Calif. No one has proved exactly how radical Mr. Henderson is at present, but a large majority in congress is suspicious about giv ing him control of the nation's business. Long In circulation have been the whispers that he was at least once a fellow trav eler. Old also are the stories that his division is filled with assist ants whose arm-in-arm fellow ship with left wing ideals is mora evident. Whatever degree of truth lies in these congres sional murmurings, Mr. Roose velt's price control effort was lost in the house primarily be cause he did not offer someone with an economic reputation like Baruch to lead it. This situation inspired the' second circumstance: In order to get any bill through on the sub ject, the administration had to accept foolish or divergent oppo sition amendments, openly say ing the senate would correct these later. ... THERE Is no reason to expect much from the senate, unless those citizens who want to avoid the national destruction of infla tion (Mr. Roosevelt said it would ruin the defense program) bring more pressure than was evident in the house. Inflationist Sena tor Elmer Thomas, for instance, la talking about an amendment which would bring 30 to 40 cent cotton. The Republicans are still split. Although prices and the cost of living to the average man are rising every day. there is to be no hurry. The leaders say the bill Is not to come to the floor until after January I. And the senators distrust Henderson's economic tendencies as much as does the house. cultfafuk are ' ALWAYS OUT W FROST I ItoowtieU taaiis reafKea katvJ.

Kelly's Comment From Washington Veteran Pension Before Senate Soldier Travel Pay I Sought , LaGuardia Faces Stymie on Fund By John W. CUT Washington, D. C, Dec. 3. Having passed the house of rep resentatives with little or no attention being attracted, the senate has for consideration two bills which will add another five billion dollars to the veterans of world war No. 1 and their dependants. In the past 22 years the government has paid out to I the veteran groups almost eight billion dollars in pensions and I bonuses. Veterans now residing in the Pacific northwest number approximately 100,000. Under one of these two measures every veteran would receive $40 a month on reaching the age of 65, automatically. This would . represent in pensions In the northwest $4,000,000 a year, Criticism of the proposed le gislation has been almost nil. I although one objector speaking for the American Veterans as sociation, organized 10 years ago, declared that the A.V.A. while strongly championing in creased pensions for veterans with service connected disabil ities and dependants of those who have died of war wounds or service connected causes, op poses pensions for veterans who passed through the war without injury. a a AMERICAN Legion leglsla- I tive lobbyist and Veterans of Foreign wars are urging enact ment of the two measures, with the assertion that care of vet erans and their dependants is part of national defense. Vocal opponents assert that the pro posal is "the Townsend plan in uniform." Veterans administration re ports casualties of the first war as: Killed in action 35,931, died of wounds 14,785, wounded 205, 690, deaths due to other causes 122.558; total 173.274. Living beneficiaries: Service connected veterans 349,265, dependants 97,489; non-service connected veterans 69,425, dependants 89, 970; total 536,724. Under H. R. 4, a widow of a veteran would have her pension increased from 112 to $56 a month. Under this proposal a girl not born until after the war could marry a 90-day veteran and become a widow before she was 20 years old and draw $56 a month for the rest of her life. Surviving veterans and their dependants probably number 18.000,000 by this time all of them eligible, eventually, for federal assistance under the two proposals. Later there will be pensions proposed for the men now In service (at present more than 2,000.000 in army, navy and marine corps), and this num ber is expected by Insiders at the national capital to reach at least ten million In uniform be fore the duration Is over and the time comes for settling up. One argument for the legislat ion is that the Increasing cost of living amounts to a reduction in the pensions now paid and there should be an adjustment to meet this situation. The house approved the bill without hesi tation, having a wholesome re spect for the veteran vote. Sen ate may take the same view Es timate has been made that pen sions will be paid to World War No. 1 veterans until 1990; depen dants until the year 2000. RESPONDING to demand from parents, a bill has been offered to have the government furnish travel pay for soldiers who will have a furlough during the holidays. It will probably be killed. A suprising number of parents in Washington and Ore ; gon have written in support of the measure and. Incidentally. several hundred boys from the , northwest are in outfits in the east. The holiday movement Is ex pected to place the heaviest strain on the carriers in the past i 20-odd years and army officers tand railroad officials are now working on plans to take the (boys home and back again.

Stim- son, secretary of war, if the re commendation of the military 'committee of the house is adop ted. This would be a turn down 'for Fiorella H. La Guardia, who has been placed in charge of ci vilian defense by the president. La Guardia applied to the com mittee for a substantial approp riation for this work and the committee agreed, only instead of giving $100,000,000 to La Guardia -(formerly a member of the house to which he was once elected as a socialist) the com mittee decided the secretary of war, a Republican, should han dle the money. Some of the ap propriation will be used to pay salaries to members of La Guar dia's organization.

Roy Webster's famous December-bearing pear trees are at the important busi ness of amusing easterners again, this time at Cincinnati's Hotel Gibson, where a local chain of Independent grocers is putting on a food show. Web ster, eastern manager for ' the Oregon Washington California Pear bureau, believes in a bit of humor (plus western scenery) so he ties fresh pears on artifi cial trees for pear bureau food show booths. After attracting the crowd with western beauty, he applies the pear slicer to a fine, ripe Bose pear and passes out juicy, fragrant, flavorful samples of winter pears to thou sands. "Some of these eastern groc ers don't know a pear from a sweet potato," reports Webster to E. R. Pooley, president-manager of the pear bureau, "so we had attractive signs painted, naming pear variety, and season when most plentiful, and hung these over boxes of Bosc, Anjou, Cornice and Forrelles."
