Editorial Correspondence
Portland, Oregon, January 27. 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

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

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.

who may be as much on their
feet but walking or working
or exercising. 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

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.

From Washington, D. C.
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.

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.
