War End Within Twelve Months
Is Cautious Prediction, If U. S.
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.

you say, you i

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

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

If I take a good even deep

Recently I bought a book by
a man named . , . who teaches
Just th opposite to your

all emphasis on exhaling and
pays no attention at all to in

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

Belly Breathing exercise, is
more apt a pupil than is a nov

breathing habit who wishes to

Such a legal hodge-podge
would never have passed the

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.

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.

La Guardia applied to the com

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

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."
