Its Up to the L C. C.
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. En
close a stamped envelope and a sheet of writing pa
per when you write to him, to make it easy for him to

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

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

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

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,

foot into the door of business

well as motors, and Intends to

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.

NAZIS MASS FOR
London, Jan. 13. (AP) Re
ports that German troops were
being massed in Italy for an at
tack on the British Mediterran
ean island base of Malta and in
western Europe and Norway as
a precaution against a possible
invasion from Britain appeared
today in London newspapers.
The Daily Mail, in a dispatch
dated in Madrid, said advices
from Rome reported German re
inforcements pouring into Italy
to points from Brindisl to Syra
cuse. "The concentrations of Ger
man troops all face Malta," the
report said. It added that tha
expected assault would be car
ried out almost exclusively by
the German air force and was
looked for within "ten days or
three weeks."
The Daily Express meanwhile
said that Royal Air Force fliers
had observed "significant move
ments by German forces into
western Europe and Norway
since Adolf Hitler took over per
sonal command of the German
army."
"Most of the reinforcements
are being massed in the western
parts of pecupied France," the
newspaper said. "Hitler may
have sent his troops to these
two countries to be prepared for
a possible invasion from Brit
ain." Salem, Jan. 13 (TP) Dean
George McLeod of the Willam
ette university law school left
for California yesterday to Join
the army. He asked for a leave
of absence.
