The fast freight arrives a half hour early these days, 7:30 Instead of 8 o'clock. Didn't make much difference as it was dark as the Stygian Grotto in the Rose City, and raining buckets. In short a typical Portland day, with not even Jim Ormandy on hand to greet us! ..... All the street lights going full blast, and the taxi lamp was on the bum (also only one light, Rosey, in the Pullman berth last night) so we couldn't make much out of the Oregonian headlines, except mora of the same, Russians still marching along, ditto the Japs in Malay, but big losses for the latter in the air and on the sea. Perhaps It was the weather, but somehow, the future didn't look bright almost never does before breakfast In Portland! However we quickly discovered you can get almost any war news you wish here, as no doubt everywhere else. The first source encountered a "Big Shot" in the business world who has contracts with the navy. Having Just returned, from Washington, D. C, he of course had the low-down. Here It Is: "Germany is already beaten and the war will be over in six months the precise date, JULY 1ST. This Is, he claims, the universal opinion among the government business experts and all contracts are taken on that basis. However as nothing Is certain In this most uncertain of worlds, the censorship clamps down on any such official announcements. However, that is the absolute low down and all the big boys are acting on that basis. Watch the stock market go up if you have any doubts!" etc., etc. ..... Have seldom seen anyone more sure of his judgment. There Is one slight fly in the ointment however. This same man also reported in this column at the time predicted with equal assurance a month before the last presidential election that It was all over Willkle was in by 107 electoral votes! ..... Also In our ramblings ran across well known newspaper man Just back from Washington, as well. He veers as far the other side. Said he in substance; 'There were 17 warships put out of commission by the Japs at Pearl Harbor, and the Asiatic fleet won't be up to normal strength for six months at least. Repairs are being rushed, but progress is disheartening. The Germans aren't beaten but merely treading water In Russia while they clean up the British in Libya. Nothing short of a miracle can save either Singapore or the Philip pines. The allies are sure to win but it will take at least two years, more likely FOUR!" So put up your money and take your cholcel "Round and round the little ball goes, where it drops nobody knows!" ..... KGW Is now broadcasting news all through the day, at the Oregonian corner, with pretty fair crowds listening to the latest from the war fronts. This might seem like poor business for the Oregonian, giving out spot news free, when it has newspapers to sell. But It isn't. Ep Hoyt la smart This Is really good business, for the news is greatly condensed, thus only arouses the news appetite, doesn't satisfy it, the Oregonian sales increase. Those 4th Estate lads, who like to line up at the wailing wall and predict the end of newspapers fail to realize this, the radio CAN'T give the complete story, when an Individual is really interested In a newa story he wants the complete story all the facts, to date only the newspaper has been able to collect them satisfactorily. Ergo the newspaper Isn't dead yet by a long shot. ..... ... Had a very busy day, should have been paid for overtime but wasn't. Went to late movie to relax and was amply repaid for the effort Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine in "Suspicion". Perhaps the readers of this column have decided we have too many favorites on the screen, but we really haven't. Only we are disposed to comment when we see the few we have, and say nothing about the others. And Cary Grant Is one of our favorite male leads, one reason being he is so decidedly that, i.e. so MALE, and another ha doesn't TRY to act, for he CANT!) ..... As for Joan Fontaine, here Is one of the least appreciated actresses In the English-speaking world today, for she CAN act. Moreover she is one of the most attractive young women, on the stages or anywhere else, finally the two were perfectly cast for their respective parts. , Cary, a dashing British sportsman, with charm but no con science or not much, and Joan a sensitive, romantic, high minded but far from stodgy British miss, with a photogenic wallop, that would make Garbo at her best look like the proverbial thirty cents. We wouldn't give the play over three stars but It does provide a most refreshing and worthwhile evening's entertain ment The best newt to date Is the authenticated report that U. S. air relief of some sort has at last arrived at Malay and the Philippines. In all likelihood one of the great achievements of this war, perhaps THE greatest, will be the stand made by General MacArthur, without the slightest air defense, against overwhelm ing odds on land, on the sea and IN the air. We have never joined In the popular pastime of belittling the foe whether Yellow or WHITE, this talk about one Yank being able to handle ten Japs, or ten Helnles, doesn't appeal to us. But we DO believe as matter of objective historical fact, that the Yanks under the leadership of General MacArthur have demonstrated, their great superiority over the foe In the Philippines, were the conditions reversed we don't doubt for a minute, the Japanese outnumbered and without air protection or offense of any sort would have raised the white flag in a couple of weeksl .....

On.) have been below the standard they would liked to have seen. The final Infighting over the form of the law was punchiest because the result waa foreor dained by the farm and labor groups. FDR waa angry at first about the senate action giving Agriculture Secretary Wickard some veto power over price fixing, but a Republican. Rep. Gilford. Mass., was the only one to make a fight for that point In the secret conference commit tee. Mr. Roosevelt and the oth ers apparently figured the White House should be able to control Wickard and his veto, so let the Issue slide. Senator Taft did not press for his board control (to supplant Henderson) because he knew it was hopeless. It la apparent the blU, there fore, is only as good as Mr. Hen derson's Intentions. He Is the No. 1 economic director of busi ness, part-director of farm prices, powerless on wages. Perhaps this Is what makes the congressmen uneasy. He hat many of his old NRA friends around him In his new organlza ! tlon and they are not sure how far he will go In the direction of I business. Mr. Roosevelt, how ! ever, has unlimited confidence . in htm, will bark him fully. I. ... ; "THE Roberta report placed the i blame for Pearl Harbor on ' unprepared Admiral Kimmel and General Short but it is ap i parent no one above or below them really expected a Jap at , tack from the air at that time. Saddest note of all was the news that our counter-espionage of the Japs was so deficient, we i thought her aircraft carriers were still In Japan when the blow struck. That bodes ill for , the rest of the war. But the lieu ; tenant who received, airdetcc i tlon warning that planes were ! coming from the north, did not believe it, and the sinking of a Jap submarine in forbidden waters offshore waa not under stood as forecasting the attack which came. These were human failures so complete as to sug gest the fates were conspiring to teach us bitter lesson: 'Take nothing for granted in this war." ...

GUARDING AGAINST FROSTBITE Chilblains are frostbite of the skin, whether superficial (first degree, simply erythema, red dening, i t e h ing, smarting and aching of skin) or deep er (second de g r e e, forma tion of blisters or blebs). Besides the pre c autions already de scribed t hat is, wearing the least weight Dr. Brariy or thickness of foot cover consistent with com fort and avoiding rubber cover In favor of wool, cotton, silk, linen, paper and leather, all of which are poorer heat conduct ors and hence better insulators against chilling of the feet, and avoiding footwear that is too tight to permit free circulation. It is Important to avoid exces sive sweating of the feet, since moisture or dampness, from within or from without destroys the Insulating effect of foot covers and favors frostbite. If your feet sweat too much, send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for mono graph on "Sweating." Or Inclose 10 cents and ask for booklet "Care of the Feet." Heavy, thick soles are objec tionable in respect to the pre vention of chilblain or frostbite not so much because of their weight or thickness but because they are so rigid or stiff that they Interfere with the natural leverage action of the great toe and the natural flexion of the forefoot in walking. When such stiff soles hold the foot as it were in splints, the effect of natural function of the muscles of the foot upon the circulation is lost and frostbite is more likely to occur. Far better, in idry cold, are moccasins, pacs I (felt halfboots) or the softest, most flexible soles obtainable. Provide plenty of room to wrig Igle the toes freely and to give the toes room to spread out Instead of squeezing (hem to gether in a cramped position, as most fashionable shoes do. In many instances it has been observed that insufficient cal cium intake or assimtllatlon renders the individual unduly sensitive to chilblains. How to correct this is described in pamphlet ("The Calcium Short age" for Copy send stamped envelope bearing your address. Persons who stand long hours are more likely to have frost bite or chilblains than persons department did not know It was coming this time in connec tion with the Rio conference, and doubt that it will go very far here or there. It Is a great Ideal to have International money worth the same amount everywhere. But no one so far has been able to get around the law of supply and demand. Mr. Morgenthau' money would merely add one more transaction to complicate, international exchange. An American Importer would have to buy this money with dollars, a Brazilian Importer with mll reis. The dollar and the milreis would still depend for their value -ipon whether this country or Brazil owed much money abroad (for imports), that is upon the law of supply and de mand. In effect, therefore, Mr. Morgenthau's currency would only be a paper form of the International Latin - American bank Idea which has slumbered in the senate banking and cur rency committee many an un noticed month, and may lie there foiever.

Prolonged stand ing promotes stagnation of blood in the legs and feet while exercise or use of the legs and feet promotes better return of blood from the feet through the veins. To such persons, whether they are subject to varicose veins or not I offer three sug gestions. First, they should prac tice Belly Breathing. Second, they should take an Iodin Ra tion. On request, if you inclose stamped envelope bearing your address, I will send Instructions for both of these. Third, they should endeavor to lie supine, raise both legs to vertlcle and go through bicycle-riding move ments with legs and feet for a few moments every hour or two. If they have dull pain in the legs perhaps they need a good daily ration of vitamin B complex to supplement their diet.

Northwest Power - Hookup Planned PUD and REA Given Setback Tin Containers Out in 6 Months . Br Joh W. Kelly Washington, D. C. Jan. 28. Two government employe have left the national capital to ar range for a wartime program for hydroelectric power In th Pacific northwest. There 1 talk of shortage of power and the need of using to the maximum extent the facilities of all gener ating plants in that region. They are reported a expediting a vast inter-connection of every power station and pooling every kilo watt. To direct the use of power the set-up suggested I board of six, or possibly seven, directors. Of these, three would be execu tives from private utility com panies, two from municipal plants (Tacoma and Seattle) with a third probably from Eugene the three important municipally owwed power pro ject In the northwest and one director representing the gov ernment's investment at Bonne ville and Grand Coulee. All this is said to be tentative, but it Is in the talking stage. Practically, it is the plan (minus the board of directors) suggested to Administrator Paul J. Raver of the Bonneville pro ject by a committee of three pri vate utility managers several weeks ago and which, at first demurring, was agreed to by Raver. Later, however, in a pub lished interview before he flew to Washington, Raver declared the government' policy would not be changed because of the war that the government in tends acquiring all the private companies. The inter-connection and pooling arrangement was declared unnecessary by Assist ant Administrator Generau in talk at Yakima. The government men going to the northwest propose calling a meeting of all the private util ities and municipal plant man agers; laying the cards on the table, revealing the urgency of a pooling of all power, and ask ing for suggestions. In the desire to build up a load, consideration is being given to sawmills such as generate) their own power with the prospect of taking any surplus energy available and throwing it into the pool. Day light saving, starting February 9, I expected to economize on home lighting and later there Is a prospect of regulation re garding domestic use of electri city for illumination and cook ing. If the drag on facilities be comes too heavy there will be curtailment of street lighting either by blackout of every other light or reducing the num ber of hour street lamps may be used. ... IF the power stringency ex pected in the northwest is to be as severe as anticipated, promo ters of PUDs and farmer cooper ative REA lines will have noth ing to look forward to for the duration, as all kilowatts will be put to work on war indus tries. The REA program has practically folded up already owing to shortage of copper wire for, despite priorities, pur chasing wire for empty poles and wiring houses is becoming more difficult each day. And if the wire wa obtainable in suffi cient quantities to complete co operatives already started, there is a paucity of electrical appli ances such as washing machines, pumps, toasters, ranges and re frigerator. Production of these articles 1 being reduced to the vanishing point. Electric light bulbs too, now bearing a sales tax, will be harder to get for domestic consumers. Promoter of new PUDs, de spite the preference given pub lic utilities under the organic act of Bonneville, will discover that power will first go to war purposes and so much will be required for this that there will be little, it any, for these subsi dized project. And, besides, the tax burden upon everyone will be a wet blanket when someone undertakes to initiate a PUD. TIN containers will be "out" In six months, for the govern ment is preparing to apply se vere restrictions. In the north west the canners of fruits and vegetables, the milk condentor. ies and the salmon packer will be saved as long as possible, with reduced tin content on th Fuel Co. a. at mama 28 W.

By Frank Jenkins pRRORS of judgment by Gen-- eral Short and Admiral Kimmel were the effective causes for the success of the Japanese attack on Pearl har bor. So runs the report of the special five-man Investigating commission headed by Justice Roberts, of the supreme court. The report adds that these of ficers showed lack of apprec iation of the responsibilities vested in them especially since each had been warned by his superiors in Washington that re lations with Japan were critical and that an attack might be ex pected at any time. .. IT 1 humiliating and discon- certing. But this is the only WORTH WHILE comment: Let's see that it DOESNT HAPPEN AGAIN. BINDING a scapegoat la con soling to our wounded van ity, but finding scapegoats DOESN'T WIN WARS. MEMBERS of congress are re- " ported to be bitterly indig nant over the derelictions of Short and Kimmel. A bit of advice to them: "Restrain your breast-beatings, gentlemen. Scan your own record.
