Vaneauaat H C Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Wnr monthi administration leaders have drummed into the ears of the people, they have not started making sacrifices to win the war. From the way the people are cussing, and waving their arms In the general direc tion of Washington, D. C, the administration itself. Is going to start making them or else at the polls. As the senior senator from Oregon commented, noth ing matters but military gains, the social ones are out. . A "breathing spell" for state Income tax payers for one month Is advocated. After all the late and frequent pungling the taxpayers are breathless almost, and In need of both spondulicks and breath. The first dandelion of spring has been dug up instead of picked by the Older Girls. Andrew Jackson Simpson, 72, of the hills, "grocery-ed" Mon. and walked miles to do It. He said he would like to meet up with an enemy spy, or a Northern Spy apple, though he had nothing against the Baldwins for bedtime eat ing. CENSORSHIP "Private Blank of the Blank shire Buffs Was ordered away to Blank. To snipe at the pick of the Fuehrer's toughs On the River Blank's left bank. At Blank o'clock on the 1st of Blank, With courage rare and rash. He took up his stand on the enemy's flank Near the village of Hyphen Dash." British poem. A girl secretary employed In plane parts factory informed a house committee she received $39,356 in salary and bonuses last year, and a $13,000 bonus this month from her employer for "Just work." She was vague about Just what she did, except she "took some worries off his mind." She said the boss was "generous," and "the most won derful man In the world." He sure was a good guy with a dollar. And, it was all govern ment money. To the $21 a month soldier at home and abroad, the average citizen sav ing here and pinching there for share of war coin, the little businessman plagued by regu lations and restrictions," and children who contribute pennies for the "democratic way of life," this Is sensational news. They never knew they were buying bonds for blondes. FREEDOM OF THE NECK "Why must any active out door man wear a necktie, as the Army men must, except In maneuvers or actual warfare In hot countries? Why shouldn't he be permitted to unbutton the two top buttons of his shirt and do some real breathing? Why must he surround his neck with a thick band of cotton warp with filling of mohair? We think young men would be even more eager than thry are to do their part If the Army offered freedom of the neck. We offer this to the War Department as Suggestion No. 1,387,893 for winning the war." (New York Times). The Netherlands Indies rank first in the production of tap ioca, which is obtained from the root of the cassava plant. Closing time for Clwwlfled Aril 0 a. m loo law to tiaaaiiy 1J so p. to. Why Not Occupy Italy? THIS has been a war of surprises except in two di- rections. One concerns Italy. The other Japan. Before Italy entered the war, England declared II Duce's army wouldn't fight, and its navy couldn't shoot, the Fascists, if they came in, would be a push-over. THE triumph of a small group of British U-boata off the coast of Albania yesterday was typical. The Britishers had so little respect for the Ital ians, the U-boats didn't bother to submerge, but stay ed on the surface and sank nearly a dozen Italian ships by gun fire. CO it has been from the outset Before Germany came to the rescue even Greece made monkeys out of Mussolini's legions, chasing them all over the map like so many panic-stricken prairie dogs. In fact, the complete impotency of Italy has been so pronounced the Mail Tribune's military ex pert can t understand why Britain hasn't devoted a week-end to a serious and concentrated attack on Italy, concluding same with an all-out occupation. TITOULDN'T an allied attack on Germany via Aus- tria with Italy as a base be far more effective than any attempt via France or Scandinavia7 Italy in a military sense is a total loss, but it must be of considerable value to Hitler, as a base of operations in the Mediterranean, and as a buffer for his south eastern flank. Why not send a corporals guard and a tugboat against Rome and Naples one of these fine days and take over what is left of the Roman Empire? There is no reason to doubt II Duce would lead the flight to Venice and without even taking off his panoply of medals, dive head-firet into the nearest canal ! Japan s Achilles Heel THE other exception is the quality of the Japanese 1 air fleet. Before the war, the Washington military experts were agreed Japan had no modern first-class fighting planes. They also claimed aerial gunnery was poor, and numbers lacking. They were entirely wrong on the last two counts, and on everything else concerning Japan, except the plane-quality item. THREE months of war have clearly demonstrated that while Japan has far more of an air-fleet than ever imagined, and the bravery and skill of her pilots compare favorably with that of other nations, plane to plane she is fighting under a terrific handicap. Except where Germany her, Japan's planes in day to day combat have been outclassed in speed, fire-power and maneuverability. We don t know the exact ratio, but our guess would be Japans air loss percentage, is three or four times greater than the percentage THIS is a cheering fact VUG. For as has been frequently observed in this de partment, this war is essentially an air war, the winner in the air, will be the winner in the war. Japan's total air fleet is far larger than the al-. lies ever suspected, but losses to date, have also been far larger than Japan ever suspected. I here is also little doubt that Japan s replace ments will be on relatively a small scale, and of con tinued inferior quality. TO date Japan has had a tremendous advantage due to the close proximity of her air bases. But as her lines are extended further and further, and the United Nations secure air bases nearer and near er, this original advantage will become steadily less. IN other words, unless there is some serious fly in this ointment of reasoning, the one preliminary count against Japan, which WAS correct, promises to prove a decisive one, as far as the ultimate result is concerned. It may take some time, but eventually nothing can prevent, the defeat of a nation, forced as Japan appears to be, to bum its aerial candle at both ends, increased losses on one hand, inferior replacements on the other. Mac Arthur Defines Censorship GENERAL MacArthur is not only a great leader and a great strategist, but seerns to be a man of great common sense. Usually professional army men, particularly West Pointers, are disposed to lack the human touch, to be extremists in such matters as traditions of disci pline and red tape. But not General MacArthur. Yesterday he called the newspaper men to his headquarters, and gave a brief talk on his ideas of censorship. It s the best definition of what news censorship should and should not be, we have seen from any official source since the war started. We trust the censorship office at Washington, will not overlook it. We quote : "My main purpose. Is not to suppress news but to get news for you. 'The main reason for efforts by the United States and Australia to Inform the public what Is going on is that if the public does not know the truth its imagina tion operates, thereby reducing confidence. "Silence will begin to react against you. It therefore Is a crime It Is Important that the public should be told so It can summon confidence and determination of pur pose In support of the war effort.

MEAT IN HEALTH It seems to be at least tacitly agreed among physician or medical authorities that mod erate use of tobacco by grown-u p s is usually not in- urious to health. There is no scientific evidence that moderate smoking is de 1 e t e rioua to the mature adult, but plenty of evi dence that to bacco Impairs the nealth and general development of the child or youth. Likewise, without prejudice, there is no scientific evidence that meat eating In any way in jures health. Certainly there is no basis for the fancy that meat eating causes "acidosis" or ac cumulation of or deposit of "uric acid" in the blood or in the tissues. Notwithstanding the singular fact that some physic ian reports an alleged case of "gout" now and then, even within the past year or two, still it is no longer seriously claimed that "uric acid" or a salt of "uric acid" has anything to do with causing disease. To be sure, chalky deposits (mono sodium urate) are commonly found in the tissues of elderly persons, but rarely have such persons ever suffered with any illness that could possibly be called gout. The model health diet - In cludes meat, of course. Why not? By no sound, physiological reasoning can we exclude meat from a health diet. On the other hand, if the diet Includes milk, eggs and cheese, as the health diet must, tt is a matter of in dividual taste or preference whether to include or to ex clude meat. Meat supplies noth ing that milk, cheese and eggs will not supply to fill the re quirements of human nutrition The protein or nitrogenous ma terial In meat is a "complete" protein, that is, it contains all of the amino acids essential for human nutrition. But so does the protein in milk, cheese and eggs. ... So I repeat, the in clusion or exclusion of meat in the health diet Is a matter of individual taste only. It is well for the layman, and the physician too, for that mat ter, to remember that the theory News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Page One) noticeable propaganda of conse quence along that line In the democracies has been a pro nouncement of Sir William Bev- fridge urging that Britain scrap party government, the profits vstem and autonomous traae unions a pronouncement which gained the dignity of publication in the conservative and appar ent'.y confused London Times. It has been redistributed in this country and has scared many business men because sir Wil liam held two cabinet posts in the last war and was director of the London school of eco nomics. What has not been made clear is that Sir William, despite his great energy and ability, has indulged himself In some eco nomic eccentricities in tne past At least one of his former stu dents has the idea he believed business cycles were caused by fluctuations in agricultural pro duction which in turn were influenced by sunspots. which nay have some validity but is certainly primitive. In truth, government in Brit sin and the U. S. now controls distribution of income, limits profits, directs distribution of labor In some degree without Sovietiiing anyone In the Rus sian manner. Take profits. Eng ;anrl limits these by heavy ex cess profits taxes as do we. Also in England no one can make more than 127.000 a year. We control Individual Income In numerous tax ways, and we say what you can do with your income to some extent you ran t buy tires, autos. rubber tin. sugar, etc. Voluntary or direct restraints on labor are now the 'subject of discussion In congress. e e yHE big difference Sir Wi'l- liam advocates Is that the people, the unions, business be made agents of the state, rather than free units. That Is Just the difference between democracy and dlctatorsrlp. It Is not a question of government con trol. It is a question of method. Brady M. D. DIET Or COURSE of a century ago, that "uric acid" in dark or red meat caused "gout" waa based on crude estimates, not on precise measurement of the amourt of uric acid in the blood; and that such measurements do not bear out the theory at all.

(A. O.) Answer Reason why growing plants are healthful In living room, bedroom or sickroom Is that the leaves and the porous pots evarporate some moisture, which Is always needed In artificially heated air. The amount of oxygen given off. or the amount of carbon dioxide given off In the night, if any, la insignificant. Carbon dioxide Is not polaonous to breathe. There Is always a certain amount of tt In tha sir. Perhaps you confuse It with carbon monoxide, which Is dangerous to breathe, but Is never given off by plants, animals or humea beings. In daylight grow ing plants absorb and utilize carbon dioxide from the air. Regarding cut flowers, there Is no objection to hav ing them In living room, bedroom or etckroom day and night, If you wish Headache In fairness I am glad to report that X received great relief from headache after following Instructions In the pamphlet "Relief for Allergy." Phy alclana had told me my headaches were probably allergic, but had not suggested sny remedy. (Mrs. H. B. O ) Answer Thank you. Ma'am. On re quest I will send any reader who provides stamped envelope bearing his or her address copies of the pamphlets "Relief for Allerey" snd "Why Have Headache? (Copyright 1043. John P. Dllle Co.)

Nearly everyone seems to think we need more particularly now controls over prices, wages and profits (Mrs. Roosevelt thinks so.) But the point is we want to effect these controls In the democratic manner and not in the Soviet manner. To state and clarify what ap pears to me to be the purpose which Is being obscured In the rwarm of feverish words: The people want elections, party government, congress, but they want these adapted to war uses for utmost eff.'clency. Give the executive great controls, but only for the duration of war and war (not political) purposes. Let congress prescribe that these powers should be returned after ward. They want labor unions to remain free, but they also want the utmost production from these unions. They insist on the same from business. They want to debate and argue among hemselves to find the best methods of winning the war as conscientious free men should, without having feverish germ carriers spread their enmity into the war effort by shouting 'Nazi," "lies' on one side or "Sovietlrer" on the other. Nino Mere Loggers Slated to Answer Overload Charges Nine more logging truck dri vers charged with operating with overloads on the Crater Lake Highway were scheduled to answer complaints in Justice court this week. Everett M. Moore, Prospect, and Robert W. Jones, Medford, entered pleas of guilty yesterday on similar charges. Moore was assessed $11 and Jones $8.30, both Including costs. Joseph J. Jefferson, Medford. charged with drunk and disor derly conduct, was sentenced to 30 days in the county Jail, and fined costs. Walter H. Hyatt, Klamath Falls, charged with failure to stop at an arterial highway was assessed $1 and costs. Other sentences Imposed were- Cullen G. Jackson, no lights. $1 and costs: Cletus G. Saunders, no tail light, $1 and costs; liar old G. Brasure, four In the front seat of an auto, 51.50 and costs: Maurice E. Thompson, no PVC permit, $10 and costs. Brasure and Thompson are cantonment workers Bad News for Allies Seen in Boris, Papen Journeys to Hitler Br DeWitt MscKenite (Wide World War Analyst) The Journey of Bulgaria's King Boris to Germany for a conference with his master, Herr Hitler, and the trip of Nazi Ambassador Count Von Papen from Turkey for a sim ilar purpose, strike me as boding no good for the allies in general and for the Turks in (articular. These birds Boris and Papen i may be taken ss harbingers of the fuehrer's spring offensive. And it's a safe bet that their summons to the seat of might means that the nazl chief is getting ready to apply the heat to Turkey. His Idea is to force that country to permit passage of German forces through its territory into the middle east, where lies the oil and other supplies which be must have. Berts To Play Stooge For Hitler The part selected for Boris to play is stooge for Hitler. His majesty's business is to make warlike gestures to convince the Turks that he is about to attack them, If they don't play the axis game. The fact that Bulgaria and Turkey are chronic enemies lends substance to this suggestion. Count Von Papen, one of the craftiest schemers of them all, will hold the Bulgarian threat as a club over Turkey's head. At the same time he will offer rich prizes to the Turks for knuckling under. The position probably Isn't particularly attractive to the dictatorial Boris, especially since his father. Czar Ferdin and, was compelled by popu lar, disfavor to abdicate his Kelly's Comment From Washington, D. C Lumber Industry Hit By Unions FSA Get Support From Northwest Pierce With Foes Of Dies Committee By John W. Kelly Washington. D. C, March 24 Donald Nelson's prayerful ap peal for greatly increased pro duction has not impressed the lumber industry of the north west yet. Nelson said that with present facilities, working on 24-hour shifts current produc tion could be approximately doubled. Without calling names, he was looking at . the labor policy which has been a domi nant political force during re cent years The 40-hour week, with its time-and-a-half for over time and double time for holl days is the key to the study. Despite the promises of Phil Murray of CIO and Bill Green of AFL that there would be no strikes and that labor (their respective organizations) would bend every effort to Increase production, these pledges have not been kepi The lumber in dustry is a sample. Probably 90 percent of the orders the sawmills are working on are for war purposes; cantonments or shipping abroad for American army bases. Men in tne .mills know this: loggers in the forests know the logs are destined for war purposes. To show how little confidence can be placed in the pledges of Murray and Green, mills are having trouble because of clashes between un ions. CIO mill workers refuse to handle "hot 'logs, and the logs are "hot" simply because they were cut down and taken out of the forests by AFL loggers Some of the more vehement CIO say they would rather work three days a week on logs that pre not "hot" than six days on logs which have been handled by the other union. Among other troubles, this situation in the lumber industry has been laid In the lap of Donald Nelson of war production board. No one In authority, aopar ently, is prepared to take a firm position In these labor disputes That they slow down production appears to be secondary. It is regarded as a.most certain thai the 40-hour maximum will be repealed or suspended for the luration. In a number of gov ernment agencies this law has been shoved aside. The presi dent, himself, has indicated that something may be done about a celling on wages Sidney Hill man, who draws $1 a year from the government and $12,000 a vear from his CIO union, is talking of drafting everyore for labor who is not needed In the i.rmed forces, and this is causing peculation that Hillman's pro posal will Include that everyone must Join a union before they ran work. There is legislation, which has passed the house but kept tight !v locked In senate committee on -duration and labor by Senator Thomas of Utah, which would solve such matters as strikes throne in 1918 because he sided with Germany in the world war and got beaten. And Ferd inand (sometimes known as The Fox) was supposed to be one of the smartest. Old Kaiser WU helm once remarked: "I cannot stand Ferdinand, but he beats us all for brains." Doubt If Turkey Can Be Bullied However, while Boris Is by nature a lone wolf, he now is in the situation of getting strafed by HiUer if he doesn't fall in line, and of being award ed (he hopes) territory from poor Greece and Yugoslavia if he is a good lad. Moreover, the king is son-in-law of the- em peror of Italy, having married Princess Giovanna, and domes tic bliss might be worth the gamble of a throne. There is rtoubt whether Tur key can be bullied into grant ing Hitler's demands. As prev iously remarked in this column, I was told in Ankara not long before the war that Turkey would try to remain neutral In event of another conflict but that if she had to fight, it would be beside Britain. Circumstances may have altered his, but there has been no indication of a change of tyart. against the government, the mat ter of dues, work permits and accounting of money from dues, etc. Senator Thomas by one de vice or another has managed to keep the bill (author, Represent ative Smith, southern Demscrat) from getting out of the com mittee. This shows what a com mittee chairman can do with a bill: defv the entire senate if so I inclined. IN all the criticism and ham mering received by Farm Secur ity administration for days in congress the administration had the open support of house mem bers from the northwest. Thai FSA did some things that It should not (such as paying poll taxes in southern states) was idmitted, but that it has and is serving a useful purpose among the most distressed farmers was asserted. Compton White, rep resentative from Idaho, for ex ample, told how FSA had saved the apple industry in his state when the banks were loaded up with obligations: how the big raterpillar bulldozers costing $8,000 are sold Jointly to farm ers on cut-over land; how down-and-out refugees from the dust bowl have been given a new tart in life in the valleys of Oregon and Washington and the irrigated districts of Idaho. It was shown that the highest loans made In any state by FSA aver aged. $.908 for the state of Wash ington. e e e DIES committee is preparing for another eruption, this time dealing with the Spanish Falan gists. These are the supporters of Franco, who has a strong dis like for Stalin and the Spanish communists. Aside from the Spanish communist sympathiz ers in the northwest, where many young Americans were induced to Join the Abraham Lincoln brigade, the Spanish auestion Is not especially promi nent in that part of the country Notwithstanding the popularity of the Dies committee through the years, there was an effort by house members from Wash ington and Oregon to kill the committee. The principal oppo lents of the committee in Wash ington ,tate was Representative Coffee, who filled several pages of the Congressional Record vole mg his opposition; the newly 'ppointed federal Judge, Repre sentative Leavy, and Represent atives Jackson and Hill. Voting to destroy the Dies committee, from Oregon was Representative Pierce. Ail of these congressmen are Demo crats and New Dealers . . , There is prospect of home defence oald by the federal government. Members would be men past the "raft age and, preferably, vet "nd" tne command of army officers. ASK DAM COIN Washington. March 24 The hOUae r,r,.;...

(AP) The government has set maxi mum retail prices for new refrig erators, typewriters, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, ironers, radios, phonographs and cooking and heating stoves. The office of price administra tion imposed the ceilings to check profiteering on the items, most of which are no longer pro duced because the manufacturers have changed over to war goods. It was the first orders affecting retail prices on a number of commodities. More than 100 commodities already had been placed under manufacturers' price ceilings. The OPA put permanent ceiling on vacuum cleaners and refrigerators, equivalent to the manufacturers' recommended re tail price lists. The other new orders were for temporary ceil ings pegging prices at the level of last Thursday, March 19. The ceilings do not apply to used articles. McLeod McLeod, March 24 (Spl.)
