Since the Senate committee Investigations, $1 per year men are regarded as in need of leg islation.

Important Meeting Tomorrow It Is the wise and sensible course for Pacific coast communities to take practical precautions against air raids or other possible enemy action. Trouble is not expected, yet members of the Jackson County Defense Council are determined to be pre pared if it does come. Loss of life and disruption of normal living may be materially lessened if we are alert to the danger and adequately prepared for any eventuality. Poth the alarmist and the cocksure optimist should be ignored. There IS a possibility of air raids and it should be recognized. The public should not become unduly alarmed and at the same time there should be no lack of sensible preparation. THERE will be a meeting Wednesday (tomorrow) afternoon, sponsored by the Jackson County P.-T.A. council, for which we urge a large attendance. Officials of the local defense council will be on hand to freely discuss all phases of their work. DARENTS of school children will want to know. about the system of evacuating school youngsters in case of emergency a plan in which THEY will play an important role. The program of air raid warning, means of administering first aid, medical direction, the best ways of coping with incendiary bombs, plans for comrnunicatiiis in critical time all wil' be discussed at this afternoon session. ALTOGETHER, there are 134 clubs, patriotic " groups and fraternal organizations in this city and practically all have joined with the P.-T.A. in taking a lively interest in civilian defense. All are showing a commendable willingness to lend a help ing hand in this common effort. The success of such a program as this quite ob viously depends upon general public understanding and participation. The P.-T.A. meeting at the Lin coln school gymnasium tomorrow afternoon will give to all who attend a much clearer picture of the EN TIRE defense plan and will better prepare the entire community for any eventuality which may arise. H. G. Bad News and U. S. Morale A good friend, and an old one, who fought in the Spanish war, thinks there regarding the present conflict, so much it is impair ing national morale. He particularly resents a recent speech by. Gov ernor Sprague, in which our state executive pointed out the "cruelties" which the people must expect to suffer as the fight goes on. Says he : "Why man alive, if this sort of thing Is kept up the rank and file will get so Jittery, we won't be worth a lick. If this psychology had prevailed when we fought In the Philippines before, how far would we have got? They didn't tell us we were outnumbered, cut-off and doomed to die. They told us the yellowbellies had a hill and we were to take it, and we did, and we didn't count up our losses until afterward. That's the way to fight. Not sit around and figure up you're licked before you start!" Well, there is probably something to this, and we think the term "cruelties" a rather unfortunate one for the governor to have chosen, it smacks too much of conquest. But we also think the point our Spanish-American friend misses is the complete absence of any similarity between the present war and that triumphal military and naval parade against the tottering Span ish empire, in 1898. Men fought bravely and died gallantly in the Spanish war, often against heavy odds BUT neither on land or sea was it ever an equal fight. Certainly never a fight in which the enemy, in preparation, numbers and equipment, had the better of it But that is the case in the Philippines and the Far East today, and we can see no point in trying to dodge the fact, and thereby not preparing the people for the probable sacrifices that confront them be cause of this fact MOT that the lads over there, fighting, in the Philip " pines, Wake Island, Guam or anywhere else, should be, or are, given any different fighting ord ers than they were 43 or 44 years ago. General Mac Arthur for example, we feel sure is following pre cisely the line his famous father did, when the Philip pines were conquered. If a hill is to be taken, the boys undoubtedly are told to take it, and they do take it, counting their losses later. DUT the morale of the army is one thing, the morale of the rank and file back home is quite another. And to maintain this morale back home we favor the British example, rather than the French: Win ston Churchill's "blood and tears," rather than Game lin's impregnability of the Maginot line. And only for one reason, and one alone, because we believe the American people like the British "can TAKE it," because we believe the truth however dis couraging, instead of breaks their will to win. will I only strengthen it; that narder they will fight A ND ABOVE ALL because if they are NOT told the truth, if they are not prepared morally and physically, for future shocks and disappointments which in all likelihood can't be avoided; then when the bad news does come, they will naturally be com pletely unprepared, suddenly realize their leaders have deceived them all along, and while we know such a national debacle as swept over France would 4 L . l. 1 ! iueer uix-ut, me nei results as iar as national morale is concerned, WOULD be costly and MIGHT be, tem porarily at least disastrous. is far too much pessimism the tougher the going, the Personal Health Service Br William f lined letters pertalalng to perianal health sad bTflrne, not ta dlKut dlegnoel.. or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brad If a stamped self. addressed envelope Is enclosed.

Tyros will please be advised of the controversy between Webster and OV Doc Brady about the meaning of the word somersault. Webster, in his ob stinate way, asserts that it means leap or jump in which a person turns his heels over his head, forward or backward, without touching the ground with any portion of the body. Brady firmly but gently insists that somersault means simply rolling or turning heels over head but with some portion of' the body always in contact with the ground or floor. Brady maintains that what Webster de scribes as a somersault is an air spring (as distinguished from handspring) and challe n g e s Webster to give a name to what Brady describes as a somersault. A well turned somersault takes few seconds and requires that you come up on your feet smiling or at least not particu larly flustered or perturbed I just rolled half a dozen on the floor before my desk in fifteen seconds. Another condition somersault ing tends to prevent or over come Is mental depression or the blues. A good many old geeters from thirty-five to seventy-five, I find, choose to think I am facetious about this. Well, I'm sorry for them, but perhaps there are many more younger readers, younger in body and mind, who ran comprehend that I am ser ious about it, when I say that I'd as soon go without breakfast as go without my morning rolls on getting out of bed. Somer soults ar one of the few medi clnes I'm willing to take myself. Now and then some corres pondent informs me he or she suffered virtually a broken neck trying to turn somersaults.

The timing proved better than the results. The army and navy are rather proud of the way they broke up the initial Jap sub at tack on Pacific coast shipping, although FDR's warning against excessive submarine-s Inking claims has prevented them from saying much. Officially they claimed only a few, but they thought they bagged many more, judging from such incon clusive evidence as nil spots. Swift cessations of the attack confirms their private estimates. Such prowling enemy forays so far from home bases ran have no real military effect e e IT ,1s never the rules of censor ship that are oppressive, only the personal application of them by individual censors, each varying in temperament I and preferences.

I e pAVORITE Washington story , is the one about a lady civilian defense official who j called in a group of labor lead ers to impress them with the necessity of making the country 1 more war conscious. Flanked by 'several other obviously approv ing ladies, she said steps should be taken to prepare the chil dren psychologically for bombs. She suggested this way: Get a group of children to gether, and arrange to have some hard missile, dropped In front of them from above. Have some grown-up official say, when It hits the ground: "Boom boom!" Then have the child ren repeat In a chorus: "Boom boom. The CIO and AFL leaders present did not immediately Jump at the plan, but pleaded perhaps a larger gathering should decide, so the matter seems to be In abeyance. But one male guest suggested to an other while walking out: "I think it would be better If we would all slip carefully up behind Mayor LaGuardia and Mrs. Roosevelt, and. In a chorus shout "Boom boom!

C Ship Contract To Northwest Yard Astoria, Portland Will Get Dock . Br Joha W. Sell Washington, D. C, Jan. 20 Admiral Land, chairman of the maritime commission, 1 promis ing great things for the north west. There is a nrosneet of at least 200 cargo carriers being I allocated to yards in that region, - Columbia river and Puget sound. Present indications are that more than $320,000,000 will be contracted by the commission in the shipyards, and this does not take into account other millions I to be assigned by the navy de partment. The ships for the maritime commission will be of two classes: the regular freighter type and the "C" type, which is the commission's own design. The "C" type cargo carriers have heretofore been built in the Ta-coma-Seattle district and the ad ditional "C" boats will be as signed there. The "C? type, by slight changes, can be made in to an airplane carrier and dozens of these are planned; eight have already been devised from "C" boats on the Atlantic coast. For the west coast the carriers will be part of the great armada des tined to cross the Pacific and crush the Japanese. Edgar Kaiser of the Oregon Shipbuilding Co. has been in the national capital in conference with the maritime commission, discussing how much of the ex panded shipping program that yard on the Columbia can han dle. The commission will pro vide additional ways and there is talk of the Columbia river yard being assigned approxi mately 90 of the proposed freighters, or about double the original order now being turned out. The average cost of this type freighter Is $1,600,000; the "C" type constructed on Puget sound costs much more, is a faster vessel and generally more refined. Navy department is planning on availing itself of full capacity of yards in the northwest, estab lishments which now have navy orders. In demand are more de stroyers, mine sweepers and coast patrol boats. The destroy ers will be assigned to the Ta-coma-Seattle district where many of these craft are now under construction or on order. The mine sweepers will go to both the Columbia district (Wil lamette Iron Works has been di rected to take mine sweepers, according to advices), and to yards on Puget sound which have been producing this class of craft. In addition to using the dry dock at Bremerton, the navy will expand the drydock of Port j ox fortiana ana later approve vi a floating drydock at Astoria to cost $5,000,000. All facilities for repairing vessels (some from Pearl Harbor) now existing and to be built In the northwest will be used, as the navy cannot de pend upon such facilities In Cali fornia ports alone. Among ten tative plans is a 1,000-foot fit ting out dock to be located be tween Swan island airport and Mock's Bottom, on Willamette river, where the freighters can be equipped after they are launched. e THERE is a prospect of the navy ordering additional mine layers, which cost $12,000,000 each (two are now being built in a northwest yard, the only craft of the kind building on the Pa cific coast), as well as the flotilla of mine sweepers on the pro gram. Mine layers and sweep ers are Intended to protect west cols, harbtoi on the Alaskan coast East coast will have its own mine fleet. The sweepers will give particular attention to the en trance to straits of Juan de Fuca, mouth of Columbia river and en trance to the Golden Gate, all of which are outlets for north west vessels, but wherever there Is a harbor with even casual shipping the sweepers will oper- ate. Plan of the maritime commis sion calls for the building of freighters through 1942 to 1945. Present orders In northwest yards will keep them occupied (or each Jap injury.

By FRANK JENKINS rpHE newg from the war in the a Parifir haa Its brisht SDOIS and its dark spots. Today (Fri day) Is one of the brighter days. AUSTRALIANS go Into ae " tion in Malaya, jolting and checking the attacking Japs. Only time can tell whether the check thus administered will be permanent or only temporary. From Singapore today comes this tribute to the tough Aus tralian fighters: "News that the Aussies had seen action sent a thrill of expectancy through this British stronghold even as Its residents prepared to defend It." More allied planes are being heard from at Singapore, lead ing to the hope that reinforce ments are arriving. T"u. navy reports that the S. Asiatic fleet has sunk three Jap transports and two large cargo ships, bringing to 24 the number of Japanese ships, both combatant and non combatant, sunk since the war began on December 7. e pOR two days Jap bombers, supported by fighters, have been attacking the Dutch naval base at Amboina, on the Island cf Cerara, midway between New Guinea and Celebes. Other is land attacks along the southern rim of the Dutch East Indies have been reported from time to time. A glance at your map will indicate that the Japs are trying to close all possible routes by which allied reinforcements can reach the principal scenes of onflict around the South China Sea. The Jrtps know that sooner or later the allies will gather their forces for a counter-offensive, and are preparing for it pROM Tokyo comes a tale that a Jap fleet has appeared off Sublc bay.
