The SatEvePost Problem
THE predicament of the SatEvePost, calls attention
to a strange phenomenon in the magazine field.
We don't know the exact date, but at least a dec
ade ago, this popular weekly abandoned a long and
lucrative course of nonpartisan endeavor in the light
literary field, to become a quasi-political organ.
The editor-in-chief was replaced by an editorial
staff, and instead of publishing editorials on very
general and academic subjects, nicely calculated to
arouse no resentments, or cancellations; the sanctum
sanctorum, entering vigorously into politics, proceed
ed to take the hide off Franklin Delano Roosevelt
and the New Deal.
AT the time practically every experienced publicist
reeled back in bug-eyed amazement, and pre
dicted the quick decline of the Post's popularity and
subscription list. It just COULDN'T be done! No fic
tion weekly could remain the most popular and wide
ly read periodical in the country, and at the same
time, dabble in partisan politics.
But the expected never happened.
Undoubtedly the Post lost some subscribers, but
not enough to discourage advertisers or reduce ad
vertising, which is only another way of saying the
percentage loss was small, very small, indeed.
THEN world war No. 2 came along.
Tha carina nnnnaitinn tn trio Rnnepvplt. nrlirnnii-
tration and all its works that had characterized the
Post during the national campaigns, was carried over
into the explosive field of world politics, 1
Over night the Post became strongty isolationist,
only exceeded in its determination to keep the
United States out of the European conflict by such
newspapers as the New York News and the Chicago
Tribune.
A GAIN the journalistic and magazine Cassandras
predicted dire things for Ben Franklin's great-great-great
grandchild.
But again the prophets were confounded.
No doubt there were many subscriptions can
celled. Also no doubt some new subscriptions were
gained.
But once more, the net result was not enough to
drive away the advertisers, (and don't forget this
boys and girls, national advertisers don't pungle up
thousands of dollars a page, unless they know what
the bona fide subscription list really is ! )
DERHAPS emboldened by this amazing upset of a
venerable and highly respected magazine tradi
tion, the editors of the Post, proceeded to rush on
ward where angels fear to
problem 1
Not editorially this
partment, allowing various and sundry members of
the chosen people to give the pros and cons of this
world wide racial conflict.
As a result a certain
New York City, owner of 50
lishing company s common
files suit in the U. S. District court to compel the Post
to "abandon stirring up racial feeling," and adopting
editorial policies injurious to the magazines tinanciai
welfare, which complainant fears will ultimately re
sult in complete dissipation of the company's assets
and good will.
JUST as the Posts successful entanglement in parti-
san politics, was something entirely new in the
magazine field; so we believe is this court action by
an outraged and very minor stockholder.
1 he next move is up to the bathvef ost.
It will be interesting to see whether the Great
American Weekly will take this hurdle in its stride,
as it has those proceeding, or at long last come a
cropper, and thus demonstrate that those self-appointed
oracles who maintained at the outset that in
the popular fiction field, politics and profits CAN'T
be mixed, were right in the first place.

PSYCHOLOGIST RECOMMENDS NARCOTIC
Professor of Psychology in
University writes. In a recent
book for popular instruction
". . . . it has
been foun,d
that a chem
ical substance,
namely sodium
a m y t a 1, is
found useful in
medical prac
tice when it is
desired to
bring a too-shut-in
patient
to a state of
greater respon
siveness." What I would like to know
is, just what is sodium amytol?
Is it drug, or habit forming,
how does it work on the body,
how taken. In what doses?
I am twenty-six pears old and
have been a chronic Introvert
all my life, given to sullen
moods, have a tendency to pout
and become offended at the
least provocation, unable to mix
with people, and generally un
sociable. I find my temperament
to be a positive handicap, both
ni business and in aocial life,
and while I have made a little
progress in overcoming it by an
effort of willpower, I still have
not achieved the degree of ex
pressiveness I would like to
have. And since I have recog
nized my deficiency, and have
conscientiously tried to over
come it without noticeable re
sults, I am inclined to believe
that the condition Is due to a
basically physical or bodily con
dition, and would respond to
the proper antidote. I find that
alcohol has the desired effect,
but only temporarily, and of
course with bad after-effects.
So I would like to know
whether It Is safe to take
sodium amytal and what re
sult may be expected. So far as
I know I have no organic or
physical defects or diseases.

OPEN published resentment
of London at China's pre
mature concession that the stra
tegic West Burma port of Aky
ab had fallen only reflects again
the carelessness of both Chung
king and London in accepting
Jap radio claims.
Akyab had not fallen when
the Chinese announced It. and
it appears now the Chinese
were led Into the false assump
tion at least partly by the fact
the Japs claimed It. The matter
was vital because the loss of
Akyab would mean one of the
main sources of supplies from
India was cut off. Likewise, it
is close to Calcutta. Jap bomb
ing of that industrial area would
be easy.
But the Australians made a
similar mistake a few days ear
lier. They reported London had
announced the fall of Port
Moresby, omitting mention of
the fact that London said
o
cording to claims by the Tokyo
radio. Port Morestiy nan not $u p,., month home to my

listening too intently to the Jap
radio that is evrrvoooy except
Washington. The Tokyo tech-
nique is well known here, es-
pecially since last Friday.
The Japs broadcast at that
time decisive claims as a result
of their attacks on Corregidor
and Bataan. They said:
"U. S. anti-aircraft batteries
put up a severe resistance
against the Japanese, but Jap-
anese bombardments on March
24 reduced four-fifths of the

morphine or booze would en
able me to "achieve the degree
of expressiveness I would like
to have." I'd take it like a shot.
But I know better. So does
any other physician.
Sodium amytal is a powerful
sedative producing sleep. It is
sometimes used preliminary to
surgical or dental anesthesia. It
is one of the numerous barbital
or barbiturates which have suc
ceeded older narcotics or hyp
notic sedatives such as veronal
and chloral ("knock-out drops")
in the past thirty or forty years.
If I had to choose a sedative
hypnotic for myself I'd prefer
chloral to any fancy synthetic
drug in the barbital group.
The psychology professor's
suggestion of sodium-amytal
seems deplorably wrong. Even
If resort to such narcotic or hyp
notic could bring any one to a
"state of greater responsiveness"
or greater "expressiveness"
whatever these peculiar terms
may signify it is hardly the
province of a psychologist to
commend the drug to the pub

On three previous occasions
they have claimed "destruction
of Corregldor's batteries", but
apparently were never satisfied
because they have always come
back to destroy them again.
The same Tokyo broadcast
concluded:
"Successful land operations
on Bataan encountered only
small enemy forces."
Only one thing was wrong
with that. They left off the "un"
before the "successful". They
could have left a standing an
nouncement for the past few
months that the small forces
they always encountered on Ba
taan were always too big for
them.
Tokyo broadcasts are not

From Washington. D. C
Big Union Take
On Defense Jobs
Camp White Scale
Highest in Land
Congress Irked
By Big Profits
Br John W. rally
Washington, D. C, April 7.
Senator Reed of Kansas esti
mates that $30,000,000 has been
collected by unions on canton
ments, air fields, ordnance
plants and similar war construc
tion conducted under the super
vision of army engineers and
the quartermaster department.
No one, says Reed, other than
union officials knows the exact
amount, and they are not tell
ing not even to their rank and
file membership.
Point stressed by the senator
is that these Jobs by the govern
ment are "closed shop," which
means that unless you Join a
union having Jurisdiction you
cannot work on the cantonment,
air field, ordnance plant, etc.
Senator Reed says that the right
to work without paying tribute
is one of the freedomr for which
the present World war Is being
waged. According to Reed, the
closed shop arrangement is made
between the contractors and the
unions; the contractors agree
that they will hire only union
men. This gives the unions con
trol of the project and gives
racketeering officers of certain
unions a chance to make a clean
up. (Names of union racketeers
and their "take" Inserted In the
Congressional Record by Reed).
There Is no service that the
union provides for the Initiation
and the heavy monthly dues.
Wages are fixed. Hours are
fixed. Initiation fee is for the
privilege of working for the gov
ernment; the dues are for the
right to continue working. Fig
ures of Senator Reed refer to
government projects, not to the
shipyards or airplane assembly
plants of the northwest where
to get a Job it is necessary to
Join a union, or If the union does
not desire to swell Its member
ship, buy a "work permit" card,
paying the union collector a fee'
for every shift worked. It is
estimated that the unions con
trolling Boeing plant and Puget
sound shipyards will collect in
excess of $1,000,000 in dues in
1942; In the Portland are (Van
couver, Wash.) the dues will ap
proximate $600,000 and prob
ably a great deal more, for In
the Portland area 50,000 or 60,
000 men will be engaged In the
building of ships.
a a o
THE practice denounced by
Senator Reed is in effect at the
naval gun relining establishment
at Pocatelio, at the cantonments
at Medford and Corvallis, at air
fields in Washington; the "closed
shop" with unions as the employ
ment office. Government em
ployment officials in several
states have been playing the
union game by calling upon the
union hall for so many plumbers,
laborers, etc. Senator Byrd of
Virginia and the governor of
that state have denounced the
federal agency for being a tail
to the union.
Wage scale set-up for Camp
White, Medford, is higher than
at any other cantonment under
construction. Carpenters draw
$1.30 an hour, electricians
$1,625. plumbers the same,
shovel operators $1.45, and com
mon labor 87 '-4c an hour. The
common labor is 25c an hour
higher than the nearest competi
tor, the cantonment at Colorado
Springs. For the triangular di
vision cantonment at Corvallis i
the wage scale is lower than at
Medford in every classification. I

JAPANESE DEAD
PILED ON BEACH
150 Anzacs Mow Down 1,
500 Nippons on 200-Yard
Shoreline Say Survivors.
Melbourne, April 7 OP) The
bloody story of the Japanese
conquest of Rabaul, New Brit
ain, in which 150 Australians
mowed down some 1,500 Jap
anese in a single 200-yard stretch
of beach, was told today with
the arrival at Australian bases
of some 600 survivors of the
Australian garrison.
Rabaul, former capital of New
Britain, fell on January 23 a'ler
the Japanese had pitted a land
ing force of 20,000 men,
formidable naval force and an
air fleet of at least 150 bomb
ers, dive bombers and fighters
against Rabaul's Australian gar
rison of 1.400 men and an air
force of five planes.
Japs Loss 2.000
Rabaul's casualties were 700
killed, wounded or missing while
Japanese losses were in excess
of 2,000.
It was at Ralauna beach that
a unit of 150 Australians blazed
away at a Japanese force which
was caught in barbed wire at the
water's edge.
Over a 200-yard beach front,
it was reported, Japanese dead
were stacked six feet high as an
estimated 1.500 fell before the
Australian fire and the Austra
lian cost was only 20 men slight
ly wounded.
The aerial attack on Rabaul,
800 miles northeast of the Aus
Valian mainland, began Janu
ary 20 with 60 bombers and 20
fighters.
Against them the defenders
were able to put Into the air
only five Wirraways single
engine, general purpose mono
planes. The Australian planes
accounted for two enemy craft
Before they were shot down,
leaving Rabaul entirely without
air protection. Anti-aircraft fire
brought down five other planes.
two days later, refugees from
the Island said, 110 Japanese
aircraft bombed Rabaul heavily
blasting Praed Point fortress
for a solid hour. They attempted
to land on the airport but de
molition charges were exploded
and two of the invading planes
were destroyed. Machinegun fire
brought down a third.
The actual invasion began at
2:30 o'clock in the morning by
a force of Japanese with black
ened arms and faces, and clad
in shorts and singlets.
Thousands Coma
That force was repulsed but
at dawn thousands of troops
came, covered by the guns of
warships and 100 dive-bombers
and fighters.
The Australian garrison caught
many landing barges with 50 to
100 men in each before the
terrific slaughter of Ralauna
beach.
By noon the Japanese were
swarming everywhere, survivors
of the defense said, and further
lesistance was seen to be useless.
