XITH characteristic disregard for every interest " " but its own, The Southern Pacific yesterday deprived South ern Oregon of all through passenger train service to and from California, even though this action had been protested by all the communities affected, and a "desist order" requested from the Interstate Com merce commission. UAD the Southern Pacific the slightest concern for the goodwill of this part of the state, or its de sires from the standpoint of decent rail transporta tion, it would at least have postponed the date of such action, until the Interstate Commerce Commis sion had handed down its decision. For, as we understand the situation, what is fi nally done depends upon the action of that judicial body, and THAT alone. Even the self-satisfied and case-hardened digni taries in charge of final S. P. policy, can't defy orders from this national tribunal. e a e e e "THROUGH some error, in transmission however, the I.C.C. did not receive the formal" application for a desist order, or according to our information had not, when the time set for the new schedule to go into effect arrived. So we repeat, CHARACTERISTICALLY, the Southern Pacific, jumped the gun, on the discredited theory that possession IS three parts of the law. Not that it hadn't a perfectly LEGAL right to do so. It had. But we do maintain there is not another large public service corporation, in the country, that faced with a similar situation, would not have voluntarily, and along the line of an enlightened public policy, have waived enforcement, until the matter had been adjudicated by the final authority. But not the S. P. e e e e a AS has been stated before in this department, IF the " little, picayune vestigial relic of adequate train service to and from this valley and California, now enjoyed, MUST be scrapped on the ground of MILI TARY NECESSITY, and the Interstate Commerce commission so decides, the incident is closed as far as this newspaper, or, we are sure, the people of Southern Oregon are concerned. But this is NOT a question for either interested party to decide, the people of Southern Oregon, who want better train service, or the Southern Pa cific who don't want to give any. It is a question for the Interstate Commerce com mission, with all the facts before them, and in view of all the circumstances, to decide. The people of Southern Oregon are certainly entirely willing to wait upon that verdict. The South ern Pacific SHOULD be, b.it isn't. I ET it be repeated : There isn't a man, woman or " child in Southern Oregon not only willing but eager to make any sacrifice ACTUALLY demanded by the war, On the other hand, there are practically NONE, who can believe without more evidence than the S. P. has provided, that abandonment of ALL through train service to and from California, not only today, but when the valley's population and transportation needs are doubled or tripled, comes properly under this classification. If, however, the final authority says that is true, OK, the argument ends, the protest is withdrawn. But let the truth be established FIRST, not by the S. P., or by this community, but by the proper, judicial tribunal I Peace Army Has Gone IHAT a change one year has brought in the pub- lie attitude toward American soldiers, sailors, marines, and coast guardsmen! Not long ago selec tees for army service under the Selective Service Act were looked upon in many quarters, and often among themselves, as slightly comical, slightly pathetic vic tims of a sort of ironic joke. Only last summer the remark was heard that most of the khaki-clad men on leave who swarmed the streets of our cities looked not so much like sol dirs as like bewildered civilians in uniforms. Consid ering the character of modern warfare, however, a mechanic's stoop may be far more indicative of sol dierly efficiency than a goose-stepper's strut After Pearl Harbor and the epic Battle of Wake, after many months of the hazardous Battle of the At lantic, nnd while daily reports of the heroic stand of MacArthur's men in the Philippines continue, we have all come to look upon the men of the fighting forces in somewhat the same way that their mothers looked upon them always. Admiration and anxiety are strong among the mingled emotions. Unnecessary anxiety can do no good, and can do much harm. Don't fret too much if mail to or from your relative in the service is somewhat delayed.

THAT SKULL The official Tincture of Iodine which was in general use in the United States and Canada a few years ago con- tained 7V4 per cent of iodine. Since 1932 a weaker prep aration, called Mild Tincture of Iodine in the U. S. and Weak Solution of Iodine in Canada, has been generally sold when the Dr. Brady public asks for tincture of iodine or Just Iodine. This Mild Tincture or Weak Solution of Iodine is the most satisfactory preparation for first aid disinfection of minor wounds or for any other purpose for which iodine may be used In the home. In some states the law re quires that a POISON label be applied to tincture of iodine, the familiar skull and cross bones. Whether this is required for Weak Solution of Iodine in Canada, I do not know. Other States require no such POISON label on tincture of iodine sold to the public. Although the older textbooks assert that tincture of iodine Is poisonous if taken in consider able quantity, by mistake or with felonious intent, reports of serious or fatal poisoning by iodine are extraordinarily rare in medical and medico-legal records. Numerous far more dangerous poisons are indiscriminately sold to the public without a poison label or even a hint on the label about the possible danger for instance prepara tions containing strychnine, ace tanilide, etc. Numerous in stances of fatal poisoning of children by .strychnine In "candy" tablets distributed as samples have been reported In medical literature. Still, no one has agitated seriously for legal restrictions or precautions against such tragedies. The United States Pharmaco poeia Is about to be revised the regular decennial revision. It is to be hoped that the revision committee and their medical, pharmacological and chemical associates and idvisers will see News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued From Page One) turer came In with a plasUc ma terial he had developed as a substitute. Its nature is not pub lic property yet. IpiIE remaining place where we could full down la in la bor. Our potential labor supply now is around 59,000,000 men. Of these 2,000,000 are already In the army and 3,000,000 to 5.000,000 more are going In. Four millions today are unem ployed. (You can read that sen tence again). Working today, we have around 49.000,000 men. Only 5,000,000 are already in defense industries. Defense authorities say the Roosevelt program will require 15,000,000 more work ers for Its fulfillment. Only 10, 000,000 of these ran be trans ferred from non-defense Indus tries (the great bulk of these workers are In lndispensible ser vices, on farms, running trains, etc.). This leaves the program about 9,000,000 short, before the coming draft. The draft will take around 4.000,000 Immedi ately for the army. With en listments for other branches, the drain from industry may be higher. So we wind up with a pros pective shortage of at least 9, 000,000 new workers. Possibly 3.000,000 of the unemployed are sufficiently equipped mentally and physically to be worked In somewhere (this is putting it most optimistically). The net de flrlrnry then comes to 8.000,000 or more than 25 percent of the 20.000.000 to be required for the defense Industry program, e e e I ARCEST class pools from which these can be drawn are the 30.000.000 household w orkers; the 9,000.000 i n schools, of working age; the 3.600.000 overage or deficient; 1.200.000 classified by the gov ernment only as "others.

AND CROSSBONES the light and make the Weak Solution of Iodine now used in Canada official in the United States, In place of Mild Tincture of Iodine, and at the same time issue some official statement as to the innocuous character of Weak Solution of Iodine, which will bring an end to the wretch ed trick by which the druggists frighten people off from using iodine as everybody should use it and also destroy the caution value of the skull and cross bones label. Excellent authorities, after thorough experimental Investi gation, propose this formula for "Mild Solution of Iodine" Iodine 2 grams. Sodium Iodide 2.36 grams. Distilled Water 100.00 cc.

Beverly Hills, Calif. to get together on an agreeable victory arrangement frankly was discouraging to all. The CIO wanted to use the war occasion to put over "the Murray plan" (different from the Reuther plan which was publicized as the cause of dis sension). The Murray plan Is an old one worked up by Phil Mur ray, president of the CIO, and unostentatiously reaffirmed as the CIO goal at their last con vention. It would put labor and government into control of in dustry along with management, through "industry councils" on which each are equally repre sented. Thus labor leaders propose to pass from the management of labor Into the management of industry. Thus would manage ment become a minority voice to labor and government in its own field. (The Reuther plan merely calls for pooling plant capacity). The hollow shell of this set up was offered by the govern ment in the makeshift "compro mise" which was adopted. The Industry council is to be organ ized Just as In the Murray plan, but it Is not to have arbitrary controlling powers and will function' merely In an advisory capacity. This caused CIO lead ers to Issue the only sour note of objection yet heard in the victory march. The serious part of It Is what It augurs for the future. CIO is apparently pledged to break over its own side of the fence, managing labor, and gets its foot into the door of business management, in all Industries as well as motors, and Intends to use the war to try 1L Communications To the editor: With the coming of the can tonment it appears that we shall be in need of a prophy lactic station and additional rest room facilities.

BY SLAV FORCES London, Jan. 13 W) Waves of crack Russian troops, paced by tank and motorized Infantry vanguards, were reported storm ing Orel today as the Red army pressed against the sagging nazi lines on . three main Soviet fronts. Russian sources said Orel, 200 miles south of Moscow and one of the key outposts of the Soviet . c a p i t a l's defenses, already wag by-passed and flanked. (The BBC, heard in New York by NBC, said it under stood unofficially that Orel already had been retaken). The Soviet command was said to have called on new shock army, backed up by ski troopers and cavalry, to take Orel and thus secure base for the still broader offensive aimed at rolling back the German line toward Bryansk, about 80 miles northwest. Bryansk is at the southern end of the nazi north-south line from Rzhev directly west of Moscow. This new Red army attacking force is formed of units called "Guards Formations" w h i c h means they are veterans who have won the right to the honor of a "Guards" designation by their fighting records. Besides the front south of Moscow, authoritative sources called the Red army progress good also before Leningrad and in the Crimea.. Strong Soviet attacks were said to have been launched in .the north Just below Lake II men, apparently aimed at trap ping large German forces out side Leningrad. LIVESTOCK Portland Portland, Ore..

Washington, Jan. 13. (AP) A 12-man war labor board, head ed by William H. Davis and armed with authority to submit labor disputes to binding arbitra tion, superseded the defense me diation board today in the job of settling disagreements between workmen and management, any where in the nation's gigantic in dustrial machine. The new board, created yester day by executive order of Presi dent Roosevelt, will absorb all of the functions and most of the em ployes of the.board it replaces. The war labor board Is an out growth of the recent industry labor conference in Washington which agreed to end strikes and lockouts during the war and to settle all disputes by peaceful means.
