Landon of Kansas, GOP 1936 presidential candi date, in a speech at Kansas City, recently observed: "We know that by certain members of the administration Hitler is forgot ten as the enemy, and to them the wicked capitalistic system still remains the main enemy."

They are always predicted to go like house afire, but tha house is never afire. The Tillamook Guerrillas are ready for any and all invaders.

Exactly three months ago minus one day, we were In this same Portland hotel, when the news came over the radio of the bombing of Honolulu. That was Sunday too, we trust this one won't be as devastating! e But there Is no point in kidding ourselves, this loss of Java will be a REAL loss. Had It not been allied strategy to hold it General Wavell and his staff would not have been seni there. In (act, as previously pointed out In this department, according to all reports (unofficial) In Washington, the Japs were due for sur prise when they hopped from Singapore to Batavia, and General W. was the man to give it to them. He didn't give it to them. Instead, he departed for India when It became plain that Java, like all the other Dutch stations in the Far Pacific, could not be successfully defended. Again the sad refrain is "too LITTLE, too LATE!" Again the answer is air power. Alone it can't win battles, but without it each battle is lost. Small wonder President Roosevelt has again called an emergency war council. An emergency for the united nations in the Far East certainly exists. On the other hand we can't Join in some of the woeful wail ing that is being bandied about. For example, this morning at breakfast, gaudily dressed but somewhat wall-eyed salesman from L. A. speaking: .. "Say what you like about Hitler and these little yellow so-and-so's over yonder, but they have outsmarted us from the push off and are up for year anyway, I got that straight from the feed box, no less than Senator Johnson himself. Might as well get ready for it. If the Japs don't take over Alaska and Germany grab Brazil before the year's out your uncle will be mighty lucky, mighty lucky!" However, that sort of defeatism Jabber isn't half as dangerous as this, an outspoken end forceful woman, with Jet black eyes, white hair and seven pieces of luggage speaking: "I have three grandsons in the navy, two in aviation. I wouldn't WILLINGLY give the lives of ONE of them to beat Hitler in Russia or the Jupanese in the Indian ocean. Not one of theml I would willingly, gladly give them all to keep Germany or Japan out of this country of mine, I would fight in the front lines myself. The soonet we let Europe run its affairs and Japan run her'a the better for us all. I agreed with Mr. Roosevelt the first time when he said we had no business mixing in the wars of Asia or Europe!" . . That doctrine, we repeat, Is dangerous because there is enough emotional appeal In it to Influence many short-sighted and self centered citizens, those who fail to appreciate the obvious fact that If and when Hitler controls Europe and his ally, Asia, they will not, and can not stop there, their next step will be South America and then the United States! It Is even mora true today than it was two years ago, that the best way, in fact, the only SATISFACTORY way, to maintain the freedom and Independence of this country, is to defeat our enemies before they are strong enough to attempt an invasion of our shores, rather than AFTER. There is nothing of the crusading spirit in this, It's the plainest sort of self preservation and self Interest A carload of doughboys were dropped off the train at Boise, Ida., yesterday, husky lads from the Mlddlewest, but somewhat bleary-eyed and forlorn as they lined up before snappy first lieutenant from the Boise army post, as he checked off their names, and then remarked: "This Is a nice camp here and a fine town. The climate la great. The people will treat you in grand style, too. But they don't want any rough stuff, you act right, they will act more than that, and so you are dismissed now until 6:15 to see the town if you wish; break ranks!" It won't be long now, no doubt, when similar groups of dough boys from other parts of the country will be dropped off at "Camp White," we trust with equal complimentary and sensible remarks by camp officers. Have only been in Oregon few minutes but have already run Into two prominent one-time Medfordites, Moose Muirhead and Bill Bolger! (Pardon Moose, we mean ONE! One time). The gay bombardier from Massachusetts got off the Portland Rose at Pendleton early this morning, fully expecting to be met by a band of Indians In war paint, but according to his pal who came on to Portland, there wasn't even a policeman or a shave tall In sight,. Two navy fliers also got off to catch the train for Spokane, they Just received their wings at Corpus Christi and were given leave to see their "folks." Let this be said about Uncle Sam's forces, land, air and sea, ON THIS TRIP, If their morale Is characteristic of the forces in general, then on that basis (morale), no army in the world could equal the United States, these lads simply have never learned even to spell the word defeat! They are as rarin' to go as a flock of steamed up fighting cocks. Nice to get back to Oregon, but somewhat nonplussed to find the porter (who got on at Omaha), had put off your correspondent's suit case with the red headed lad at Shoshone, en route to a week or two at Sun Valley. His alibi was the Chicago porter had not told him about It, and the red headed boy claimed It. (Hope he lias the decency to get the contents laundered before he sends it back!) It seems like summer here after Rockford, the sun Is trying hard to show Its face, without however, any conspicuous success as yet R W.R. Communications Disgraceful Whitewash To the editor: The administration has said that "we the people" will be told what when and why things happen as tliey do so long as the Information will not be of aid to the enemy. We, the peo ple do not ask for or expect more. Hugh Johnson fire-eating commentator, says, "Under our laws an officer officially accused of a serious dereliction of duty is entitled, at his request, to a court martial or a court of In quiry. About the only difference Is that a court of inquiry has no power to assess a sentence Information as to whether Gen ernl Short and Admiral Kimniel, or either of them requested a court is being withheld. It is announced they will be court martialed when 'the public In terest' permit. "Die other more plausible reason for no court martial now Is that the blame didn't rest in Honolulu that Kimmel and Snort are the goats of this fiasco Some things here suggest some kind of a bargain with the reused commanders by which they voluntarily retired to save their hides and the faces of some superiors." Permit me to add that "when the public Interest permits" Is one of those "hide behind the truth" or "dodge the issue" drools that come from the mouths of politicians and those ' higher ups" afraid to come out In the open. Then too what will the mothers of the American boys who fell at Pearl Harbor think when they see these two I officers, proven derelict In their duty by the findings of the court I retired on a handome pension ! each when pensions paid these irame mothers will be niggardly I by comparison? What will the I millions of poverty-stricken, tin I derfed. underelothed and poorly I housed "old folks" of America think when they see a derellc (tion of duty rewarded by such i conifortab'e pensions when they jrannot get concres to bring their Townsend bill out of com mittee for even a hearun' Asain quoting Hush Johnson ('There is a nice question of military law as to wheher the permission of thfe two men to : retire with the1 retired pay of their grades and without a i court martial doesn't act as a constructive pardon and that they could not be legally tried 'y court n art:.1. now or ivrr " 1 When we take all these thinJ Personal Health Service Br William Signed letters aertaJnlng t personal Inaltk aaa hvgtca. dm te eiaaast ausnotl.. or treatment, UI k aatworoe ko Dr. Brady rf a suaipoa aelt addrreee envelope M prlon.

YOUTH AMD For the past 10 yean or more readers of this column have been assuring us that their (ray or graying hair has had more or less of its original color restored since they began tak ing regular ration of io dine. For the past four or five yeara we have been men tioning her from time to time the obser vation of nutri tion laboratory investigators that rata, for ex ample, become prematurely (ray on diet adequate in all other respects but deficient or lacking in vitamin G CB2, riboflavin), and when thii vitamin is re stored to the diet the natural color Is presently restored to the animals' hair. This past year some skilled publicity artist contrived to get an announcement published In a popular magazine that it was now pretty well established that one of the entities or factors in the vitamin B complex, para-amino-benzolc acid (called "pa ba" for short) is the anti-gray hair factor. This item, copied by many other publications, cre ated a brisk demand for "paba." As. a matter of fact there is as much if not more scientific or experimental evidence that at least one other vitamin B com plex factor, pantothenic acid, prevents graying of the hair as there is for the former. So, if you ask me, I say I would take not any one factor but the entire natural vitamin B complex, to keep my hair from turning gray if any vitamin or other agent can do so in any circumstance. What do I really think about it? Oh, I don't know, and that's the truth, but I'm a credulous cus and I take my dally supple ment of vitamin B complex, along with breakfast, more faith fully than ever, now that I'm worried about my hair turning gray. All I can aay about it is that if it does no good at least it can do no harm, and on the whole I believe nearly every body would be the better in general health for the regular practice of supplementing the ordinary diet with a good daily ration of vitamin B complex. When It comes to preservation of the characteristics of youth another entity or factor of the B complex is more essential than the two already mentioned, in my opinion. That is vitamin Into consideration and the added elapse of time to "when the public interest'' permit the whole scheme resolves Itself into what I for one would aay s a disgraceful whitewash. It is taxes paid by the millions of the young folks of yesteryear who are the "old folks" of today that has made possible these handsome "retirement pay" pen sions. Why not give the old folks a break. They do not resent pensions for the "honor ably" retired members of the army or navy. But we must admit there is a long stretch between $50 $7S or $100 a month and $6,000 a year. D. D. DAVIS Brickbat for Barbers To the editor: Now that union barbers have hiked prices beyond the reach of most of us, perhaps we will develop a saner attitude toward appearances. A word of encour agement for those who cannot afford a shop haircut and shave might not be amiss. (I'm ready to dodge all verbal missiles.) We used to think that a well groomed man was the only man who had a chance in business or society. Just what consti tutes being well groomed is a matter of public opinion. We should now change our opinion. The barber shop as an Institu tion has outlived Its usefulness. No man need be ashamed to have his wife, sweetheart or neighbor cut his hair. In these days of high-living costs, no excuse can be found for buying a shave or shampoo. To express this psychological f:ict may cause rocks to be heaved in my direction the man who Is too. too immaculate Is worthy of suspicion and dis trust. Real, valuable men gen erally have something else on their minds besides their own Sood looks. Russell Mitchell Back Local Authorities To the editor: It is observed thst certain civic problems connected with the cantonment are attracting some public attention. I desire to urge that each and every one of them be left for study and settlement with the local authority which should properly have Jurisdiction over it. I further recommend and urge that the public uphold and Brady. M. O. RIBOFLAVIN B2 (otherwise known as vitamin G or riboflavin). When the food is poor in vitamin G for a con siderable length of time there is general weakness, nervous depression, deterioration of tone, diminished vitality and prema ture onset of the conditions of old age. One of those conditions Is wrinkles in the skin. Some per sons have more wrinkles at 30 or 40 than others have at 60. Wrinkles spell nutritional defi ciency, particularly, I believe, deficiency of vitamin G. There is an old popular belief that people who consume large amounts of milk have fine com plexions. Well, fresh milk is probably the best natural food source of vitamin G.

I believe this should Include traffic regulation, water conser vation, auto and trailer accom modations, school needs if apy, police and general safety meas ures, and all other new and un usual situations which the can tonment may present to us. I doubt the wisdom or ulti mate advantage of the general public attempting to influence decisions on such questions and I certainly do not think it is to the best Interest of our com munity to submit them to pop ular vote. Let us all encourage and back up our county court, our city council, our water commission, our school board, and any other officials or authorities who may have occasion to represent us in managing these affairs. They are more likely to be right than the rest of us. W. H. Paine. Maintenance Men Wanted For Navy Radio Equipment Lieutenants Wilbur T. Conk, ling and Arthur P. Matthews will be at the navy recruiting station in Portland on Thursday Friday and Saturday to inter view prospective navy radio maintenance men. says a special bulletin from the recruiting serv ice. They will examine applicants for their fitness to attend the navy's advanced training school in the operation and mainten ance of highly technical radio equipment such as aircraft 1 fl oaters and underwater listening devices. Needed tor the training are S.000 men who are high school graduates and who hold class A or B amateur operator's licenses or are currently engaged In radio repair work. Successful applicants will be enlisted in the navy reserve as radiomen, second class, with pay of $72 monthly plus allowances for lodging, subsistence and de pendents.

In the nation this prop erty total will be enormous; in the northwest the property of Germans, Italians and Japanese will amount to many millions. One thing there is an inside struggle for is the taking over of patents owned by Germans, with the expectation that when the war is over and Germany crushed these patents will have been used to such good advant age that there will be little like lihood of Germany ever recap turing them or recovering the business lost. One such patent is for the manufacture of syn thetic rubber, the same patent that Herr Hitler has been using to provide his motorized equip ment with rubber tires. Law yers of Washington and Oregon are now applying for appoint ment as representatives of the alien property custodian, all be ing Democrats of long stand ing and several having held high office in party councils in the past. HALF a dozen of the aircraft factories busy with bombers, fighting planes and trainers are arranging to move inland from the coast. This is being done under the gentle prodding of the administration which feels un easy at these vital Industries be ing exposed to a possible enemy raid. The plants to be erected in the hinterland (300 to 600 miles from the coast) are in tended to gradually relocate im portant parts of the coastal in dustries and, if the war runs long enough, there will be prac tically a duplication of existing plants. It is planned to be some thing like the stratagem of Joe Stalin, whose war industries were so arranged that they could be picked up and moved far from attack and continue production without interrup tion. The new sites for these fac tories. If the program is carried through, will require the ex penditure of millions of dollars for dwellings for workers, plus water and sewers, streets and transportation. The British, ac cording to Lord Beaverbrook, who explained It when he was in the national capital with Winston Churchill, shifted their aircraft factories as far from the coast as possible Into what was considered "sate" areas. Preferred zone Is between the Rocky mountains and the Alle ghenies, but neither war nor navy is insisting on going be yond the Rockies as yet. HEREAFTER when a PUD buys a private power system it will have to pay a one percent fee to the clerk of the federal court. The senate passed a bill repealing this old statute after Senator Bone explained that one PUD found itself facing a clerk's fee of $50,000 and an other a fee of $60,000. All the clerk had to do to earn the fee was to accept the check for the utility and then pay it out. For some reason this one percent fee has been on the statute books for years. The clerk is paid a flat salary for perform ing his duties, and this extra money gave him a higher Income than was received by the fed eral Judge. FIREWORKS BAN SET FOR WAR'S DURATION Washington, March 18. (AP) Add Fourth of July fireworks to the growing list of wartime restrictions. The bureau of mines today prohibited the sale and manufac ture of firecrackers and "tor pedoes'' and drastically limited the size of other fireworks for the duration. Under the new regulations, promulgated by Dr. R. R. Savers, director of the bureau, no person may sell fireworks of any kind, except caps for toy pistols, with out a federal license. Tireless Autos Ruining Highway State Informed Thoenlx. Ariz., March 10 (P P. E. Woodson, Quart site.

Woodson said the paved highway through the western Arizona desert town was be ing damaged by cars running on the wheel rims. Highway department offici als said they hadn't dettr mined what they could do to stop the practice, which was blamed on the rubber shortage LOSES APPEAL ON EPITHETJURLING Court Says Term 'Damn Racketeer' Likely To Cause Breach of Peace. Washington, March 10. W) The supreme court asserted to day that "argument is unneces sary to demonstrate that the ap pellations "damn racketeer" and "4amn fascist" 'are epitheta like ly to provoke the average per son to retaliation and thereby cause a breach of the peace." Justice Murphy made this as sertion in an unanimous opinion holding constitutional a New Hampshire statute prohibiting language in a public place likely to produce a breach of the peace. "We cannot conceive," Justice Murphy said, "that cursing public officer is the exercise of religion in any sense of the term." "It is well understood," he continued, "that the right of free speech is not absolute at all times and under all circum stances, there are certain well defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which has never been thought to raise any constitutional problem. Fighting Words 'These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, and libel ous, and the insulting or 'fight ing' words those which by their very utterance Inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace." The opinion applied to the conviction at Rochester of Wal ter Chaplinsky, a member of an organization called "Jehovah's Witnesses." State officials said the com plaint alleged that Chaplinsky, on a Rochester street, addressed these words to the city marshal: "You are a God-damned rack eteer" and "a damned fascist and the whole government of Rochester are fascists or agents of fascists."

E, Washington, March 10. lPl v Price Administrator Leon Hend erson established new ceilings Monday for western pine lumber, slightly Increasing the maximum prices which can be charged. The order was issued after lumbermen had protested the ceiling levels decreed on Febru ary 3. The new prices, covering species accounting for about 21 per cent of the nation's total lumber production, brings the quotations more closely into line with those prevailing in the period October 1-13, 1941, Hend erson said. Covered by the revision are prices on Ponderosa pine in select, shop, common, box lum ber and "moulding or better" grades; Idaho pine, and to some extent sugar pine. In select grades of Ponderosa pine, prices for specific widths were increased in a majority of cases, but there was virtually no change in random widths. Box lumber, a small mill pro duct, was increased $2 a thous and feet. In the "moulding or better" grade, prices were re duced $2 a thousand feet. In the shop grades, used in the manufacture of doors, win dows and other industrial pro ducts, the revised schedule pro vides some increases and some decreases, with the general aver age slightly up.
