Director of the budget is re sponsible for zl. K. ouvd, me latest proposal to create a Col- nmhli nmtr.r at thnritv. It was written at the direction of Pres ident Roosevelt and is said to contain the executive's personal ideas on this controversial mat ter. A note from the budgeteer observes that the bill is In ac cordance with the financial policy of the president. Inas much as the Dm cans tor iuu, nnn nnn in hiiv all or rjart of any' private utility In Oregon, Washington or taano tine Col umbia watershed) this provision receives the president's okeh. Senator Homer T. Bone of Washington Is not accepting this presidential inspired house bill, for It specifies that the secre tary of the Interior shall ap point an administrator and a consulting board of five mem bers. Senator Bone ia as deter mined as ever that "Honest" Harold Ickes shall not appoint the administrator nor have any thing to do with the power pol icies of the Pacific northwest He Is quite determined on that, notwithstanding the budgeteer's bill attempts to mollify Bone kv nrnviriin. that three of the five members shall be residents ... . ..uu. . of tne region, inus p.rujr ji lng to Senator Bone's Insistence on "home rule. . SENATOR Charles L. Mc kt.pu nf Orpunn. ReDublican leader of the senate, was sent a typed copy of the measure by Secretary Ickes with request for a careful study. Abe Fortas, current legal adviser of Ick-js on power, has been lobbying for . huHffft measure among house members, those In the called power bloc. Mr. rortas and others have been working on Rep. Walter M. Pierce 01 Oregon to make nim see me light and have labored with Washington representatives. Promise nas Deen nmuc uj Fortas et al to analyze the three bills one by Bone (companion bill by Martin Smith), one by Knute Hill (Ickes' first meas ure), and the bill from the h.ulo.1 In narallel columns. Present effort of the adminis tration, from the president, Txkoi Fnrtas. down tlie line. Is to sell the budget plan. Agree ment has been made inai no k..rn mill ha called until early next year; possibly in Jan uary. ... tm HHIUnn to tuaboats and barges required for the Ameri can army base at Basra, on ine Pmlnn eulf. referred to yes terday, there is an opportunity for contractors to duiio. anotner fleet from Douglas fir for a base that Is going in for the Burma road. Plan is to have barges. lighter tanks and other muni tions In the Irrawaddy river and then the material goes on the Burma road making deliveries in China. Tha Rurma base Is hush-hush at present, but many garage me- hanta from the pacinc norm- west are now being assembled "over there", keeping trucks In repair, something the natives have not been able to master. Many of the supplies for China, entering over the famous road, are to be dispatched from nnHhwHt nnrts. and that is the logical place for the barges to be built. . THE situation looks bad for CCC and heavy reduction In the number of camps win ue mad in the cominff year. A Rocky mountain bloc has been formed in congress to resist the merelne of CCC and NYA and to save as many CCC camps as possible. The bloc Includes representatives from Washing ton, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. These lawmakers do not want any camp destroyed. If a camp must be abandoned they insist that the place be locked up and retained imaci for the depression to come later when young men must be given an opportunity to work. Partic ularlv. the bloc wishes to save camps which have been engaged in reclamation worn (Clearing reservoir sites), forest ramps on public and private land to aid in fir. nrpvntlnn. and ramns 'on grazing areas. . . MOTORISTS, when they re ceive new 1942 license plates will be requested to turn In their 1941 set. This is the latpst request which office of produc tion management will make to the states. The idea Is to collect the old plates and save the metal Instead of tossing them away or nailing them on the garage wall. Plates are heavy and a substantial saving. It U claimed, can be accomplished In this manner. Most states ar ranged for 1942 plates before the priorities were Issued and will have no trouble, but for 1943, according to Insiders, the question of plates will be a problem; states, or some of them, may have to continue us ing the 1942 set. Another matter of Importance to motorists is that high test gasoline will be tightened up for private passenger cars, ac cording to present plans. De mands for the high test gas for army trucks, tanks and cars and for aviation will reduce the supply available for non-defense motor vehicles. HEALTH ASSN. TO PROVIDE GIFTS FOR SUFFERERS Report On Seal Sale Made At Executive Board Meet ing; Other Activities Told. Definite plans were made Wednesday evening to provide Christmas gifts to all patients from Jackson county In the Oregon Tuberculosis sanitarium, when the executive board of the Jackson County Public Health association met at the Central Point home of Mrs. Charles Taylor. Supplying Christmas gifts to Jackson county's pa tients Is an annual project of the association, which sponsors the annual Christmas seal sale. Shopping for the Christmas box will be done this year by Mrs. Mike Gibbons and Mrs. Walter Graff of the Junior group. The number of patients this year has decreased to 14. There were more than 20 from this county receiving treatment In the state sanitarium at Christ mas time last year. Report of progress of the 1941 seal sale was given the board by Miss Helen BUllls, county chairman. Mrs. Alex Sparrow, associa tion treasurer, in making her monthly report, listed expendi tures for milk to tuberculous cases and the purchase of a bed, badly needed by a rehabilita tion case, which means a patient home from the sanitarium, who is trying to learn some new trade, which will not endanger his health. The board later voted to aid another rehlnilitatlon case, who has returned from the sani tarium. Mrs. Lewis Ulrlch, chairman of the association's supplementary accounts, reported the annual meeting of the Polio committee, which manages expenditure of money taken In through the annual Roosevelt ball. This fund !s continuing to care for needs of polio cases, being rehabili tated and four new cases of polio (infantile paralysis) In Jackson county this fall were reported. Mrs. J. C. S. Weills, associa tion president,- who presided, reported that the new tubercu losis film. Included in the edu cational program of the annual seal sale. Is being shown this week to many Jackson county groups. Following the business meet ing, refreshments were served by the hostess. Mrs. Taylor, and a social hour enjoyed.

Letters should be hrtef and written In Ink. Owing to the large number of letters received only a few can he answered here. No reply ran be made to queries not conforming to Instructions. Address Dr. William Brady, I3 El Camlno. Beverly Hills, Calif. A ROOMFUL Or If you were over forty years, (writes F. V.) how would you go about getting a complete physical checkup on which you could rely? How many doctors would you go to? Would you ask for just an examination or would you ask specifically for examination of heart, lungs, etc? So many times one Is examined and within a few weeks perhaps one discovers one has a dis ease. M. D.'s are busy men and usually they have only two or three hours for office consulta- ! tion, and if they are good they nave a roomful of people wait ing, so what chance has a new patient of getting an honest-to-goodness health examination? (F. V.) In the first place, F. V.; if I were a new patient and found the doctor's waiting-room crowd ed, I'd probably stick around for a while and try to find out how many of the waiting ones were book agents, detail men, canvassers for the hope chest, messengers waiting for some tablets for Aunt Fanny's nerves and deserving people who have to be there when the doctor says If they expect to get special consideration in the matter of fees. With not a few exceptions a roomful of people waiting in a doctor's office always suggests that the doctor knows his busi ness psychology. Often he is callous about it. too, giving two or more patients who are ac quainted , with each other the same appointment hour for next time indifferent to the annoyance this will give to the patient who has to wait far beyond the time assigned. If I were over forty come to think of it, I am I would select a competent physician, communicate with him by letter or by telephone, tell him I wanted a complete periodical physical examination or a health examination, nnd ask him for an appointment. I'd leave it to the doctor to find his way about when it came to the making of the examination. The doctor would either make or ask the proper qualified specialist or technician to make whatever special tests or examinations he might deem necessary for me. If I were particularly worried or concerned about this or that organ or function I'd mention the fact to the doctor In the course of the interview and again leave It to the doctor to decide whether any further In News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued From Pag.

Is well worth both, whether the examination re veals any disease or impairment or perfect health. It is worth anybody's time and money to KNOW about that.

OSTOV, as your map will tell you, U the gateway to the Caucasus. The Caucasus con tains the oil Hitler needs so terribly. If he gets the Caucasus oil, he will be in a position to go on. If he falls to get it, It will HURT. . - Being thrown back from the Caucasus gateway Is a setback that he can't conceal or laugh off. ris obvious from the dis patches that the British are . taking their present reverses in Libya rather calmly. So far, they have prevented axis reinforcements from get ting across the Mediterranean. If they can keep that up, the fate of the Germans and Italians in Libya will be sealed. No army can go on fighting without supplies and reinforce ments. IIE Japs and the French are a mnvins alnurlv -and verv cautiously. They are WATCH ING HITLER. If he is stopped in Russia and Africa, they will be much - more interested in GETTING LOOSE from him than in becoming more deeply entangled.

It is beginning to look now as if it might be possible to bot tle Hitler up in Europe. - DON'T expect It to happen Went awv His has- la still not empty of tricks. Churchill warns that If they are stopped in Russia, the Germans will be likely to turn on Britain In full fury. But keep in mind that bot tling Hitler up In Europe Is the big objective. ON the home front. Senator George (of Georgia) says he is convinced the cost of the de fense program will have to be spread over two or more gen erations by borrowing which may boost the national debt to 150 BILLION DOLLARS. He says he is inform 3d that federal expenditures for the calendar year beginning Jan uary 1, 1942, will probably ag gregate 36 billions while tax re ceipts are not expected to ex ceed 16 billions. That will mean a 20 billion dollar deficit in one year. , THE defense effort, of course, HAS to be gone through with. There's no way out of that. But let's keep In mind that the debt we are piling up will be contracted with INFLATED dollars whereas the payment of it will have to be made with DEFLATED dollars. If you came out of the 1929 depression heavily in debt, you will know what that means. O EPEATIN'O, for purposes of emphasis: We can't pull our punches on the defense effort. That .has to i be carried through, no matter what the cost. But we should (and probably MUST, if we are to avoid na tional bankruptcy) cut off EVERY POSSIBLE DOLLAR of non-defense spending.
