Needed, A House Cleaning
The navy department announces the loss of two
U. S. army freight ships, the Liberty and the Meigs,
sunk by the Japs, one on January 11 and the other
on February 19.
The item is not of great Importance, but one
wonders why there should be from two to three
months' delay?
Certainly neither "giving information to the
enemy," nor "first notifying next of kin" can have
been the cause.
AND for that matter it can hardly have been the
" suppression of bad news for in the case of the
Liberty no lives were lost; and in the Meigs only two.
So the only answer, discernible at least to a man
up a tree comes under the general heading of poor
news reporting and inexcusable carelessness in the
department of naval consorship.
In fact this extreme dilatoriness is only added evi
dence that a general house cleaning is badly needed
in the entire set-up of the handling of U. S. war news.
Palmer Hoyt, editor of the Oregonian, and presi
dent of the national journalistic fraternity, Sigma
Delta Chi, forceably expressed the sentiments of this
department at a founder's banquet of the fraternity
at Dallas, Texas, Saturday night when he said :
Freedom of tha press "Is the people's right to know."
When the nation is fighting the people must "know their
weaknesses, no matter how vast, as well as their strength.
'They must know their losses, no matter how bitter, as
well as their victories.
"When the English war dealt a body blow by the sink
ing of tha Prince of Wales and tha Repulse off Malaya they
did not withhold the news."
"Tha realistic British decided It was good business to tell
tha truthall the time particularly about naval losses. . , .
It has kept England In, business."
"Ed" Walker
This department was shocked to hear of the death
of Sergeant "Ed" Walker of the State police, in a
local hospital, Saturday morning.
We didn't even know "Ed" was sick. Compara
tively a young man, and always a husky one, we
supposed he would serve this community and the
state, in the direction of fish and game control, for
many, many years.
IT is strange how life runs on that way.
The present writer has known Ed Walker for a
great many years, always had the highest regard and
a very real affection for him ; and yet in the past dec
ade perhaps had not seen him more than half a dozen
times, and probably not talked things over with him
more than once or twice.
No particular reason for this, just happened that
way.
Never had been intimates, but had been good
friends, and it was always a satisfaction for us to
know the important matter of game and wild life in
southern Oregon was in Ed's capable hands.
And now he is gone 1
I TNFORTUNATELY it has become rather a com-
monplace in the obituary columns of the press
to remark that the place of the deceased "will be hard
to fill."
But in a very definite and realistic, sense that is
literally true of Sergeant Walker.
"Ed" would have arrested his own son had he
caught him breaking a game law; at the same time
Al Capone himself could have roamed about the hills
and streams of Jackson county, and had he observed
the rules and regulations, "Ed" would have given him
the same square deal and kindliness he gave every
one. I7EARLESS, diligent, efficient, firm, but ALWAYS
courteous Ed Walker was certainly the ideal
peace officer, never looking for trouble on one
hand ; never afraid to meet it equally on the other.
"Ed" Walker's loss will be greatly felt in all south
ern Oregon, and his place on the State Police force
will INDEED be hard to fill!
It's All
Air, air, AIR, I
How events do. day after day, hammer home the
tragic truth that this is an air-war, has always been
an air-war, and will continue to be an air-war, until
the end.
And now comes Trime Minister Churchill, with
his usual brutal candor, explaining once more, that
the British naval defeat recently suffered near Cey
lon, like a similar defeat off Singapore, was due
solely and exclusively to Japan's air superiority.
Had Britain had a land-based air fleet in ANY
WAY comparable to the air fleet of Japan, what a
different story would have been told.
We quote :
'Thunder-storms and low-hanging clouds which enveloped
the Jnpanese aircraft carriers and warships interfered with
British counter-attacks by air. Nevertheless British bombers,
torpedo planes and fightirs. pressed home the attack, until all
available planes had bren knocked out."
"All available planes knocked out!" there is the
tragic story.
It is the story of Poland, the story of Greece and
Crete, only slightly less clearly, the story of France,
yes, and of Dunkirk where the British air fleet finally
won the day!
And it will be the story of the war for the next
five or six months, and so on until victory comes.
e e e e
'"TOO little and too late," over and over and over
again. That sad refrain. But there is this
cheering factor. Whereas the Axis has enjoyed al
most a continuous superiority in the air, now, thanks
"Air"!
to U. S. production, this superiority is steadily declin
ing, and before the summer is over, will in all probar
bility be lost
And when it IS, just watch that old worm turn!

DIABETES IS STILL A
Diabetes is not a disease for
specialists alone, not a disease
solely for outpatient clinics with
their changing
medical p r
sonnel, not a
disease for
panel practice,
but is pre-eminently
a dis
ease for inter
ested family
physicans t o
treat from Its
onset to its
end through
out all the so
cial, as well as
physical, vicissitudes of patients'
lives.
If any reader thinks that Is
the view of the conductor of this
column the reader is right.
However, I quote the paragraph
from "Treatment of Diabetes"
by Dr. Elliott , P. Joslin and
associates.
Joslin estimates there are
800,000 diabetes in the United
States at present, believes there
will be a million by 1950. Be
sides the 601,000 individuals
whose diabetes has been diag
nosed there are probably half
that many whose diabetes has
not been diagnosed. Then com
petent authorities estimate that
nearly thirty million persons In
the United States are "carriers"
of the tendency or potentiality,
by reason of heredity (blood
relatives who had diabetes),
and some of these "carriers"
may develop the disease them
selves, some may not develop
the disease themselves but may
transmit to children the ten
dency, deficiency or potentiality
and some of the children may
develop the disease.
Overweight, especially when
the superfluous weight or fat is
put on after the age of 30, Is
a common cause of develop
ment of diabetes. This is par
ticularly serious in Individuals
whose blood relatives have had
diabetes.
The national per capita con
sumption of sugar, not natural
sugar as It grows, but refined
white sugar, probably contrib
utes as much to the develop
ment of diabetes as does the
national per capita consumption
of other refined or purified
carbohydrates, especially refined
white flour instead of whole
wheat flour such as everybody
In the country used exclusively
In the days before the intro
duction of the roller mill and
bolting (about 1840).
Not that refined white sugar
or refined white flour is in any
way harmful in itself, but just
that the refining processes re
move or destroy the minerals
and vitamins that naturally

First Plywood
Plane On Trial '
Strange System
In Army Buying
Forest Service
May Come West
Br John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C, April 13
First of the new plywood train
ing planes has been delivered at
the Washington navy yard for
experimentation, operation and,
finally to be ripped apart. Army
and navy have been slow in
adopting wood in planes, al
though :n the first world war
the British purchased millions
of feet of spruce for fighting
planes and have, in the present
war, been taking cargoes of
spruce from British Columbia,
Washington and Oregon fore Us
supplemented by Douglas fir. In
addition to the British, Italy and
Ruiia are using wooden combat
planes.
Plywrod (thin slices of wood
peeled from a log and glued to
gether) is at its best In the north
west. The industry has forged to
the front in recent years and the
best technicians In the business
are on the payrolls of the scores
of factories in the forest areas.
They have made discoveries,
such as tha best method of treat
ing the plywood with glue; they
have invented glue that can
stand anything; the method of
pressing the sheets together. De
spite the "know how" of using
plywood, the procurement of
fices have not considered award
ing a contract ta build wooden
airplanes to any of these mills.
The souice of the raw material
Is ignored.
Procurement does such queer
things. Eighteen million tent
pegs were needed for the army.
Tent pegs are af wood, nothing
else. Did procurement make in
quiry where the stakes could be
purchased in the lumber mark
ets of the northwest? It did not.
The order was given to an "in
termediary" in a large eastern
city. "Intermediaries" are indi
viduals or firms which have
nothing, only a determination to
grab a contract and make a com
mission. The intermediary shop
ped around and finally placed
the order. Army wanted some
wooden chairs and tables. Large
manufacturing companies speci
alizing in chairs- and others in
tables could not submit bids, for
tach carried a single ,'ine. In
stead of breaking the order into
two items, army gave the eon
tract to an "intermediary' and
the latter bought the chairs from
one plant, tables from another
which the army could have
done.

Willkie was trying to organize
his forc-e in the committee to
displace Martin with Ralph
Cake. R-publican national com
mitteeman for Oregon, who is
serving his first term as a mem
ber of the committee and who
didn t make too good a lob of his
own state in the presiflential
campaign of 1940 This purging
by Willkie flopped ana Martin
will con-inue to serve as nation
al chairman until 1944. Mr. Will
kie is not too strong witn the
Republican leaders and, in fact,
stands better witn the White
House than with the party
ONE of the deep dark secrets
of the latlonal capital is that
underg.-rund efforis are being
made to send the forest M-rvice
to the far west. Most of the op-
e-i;inn ot tne forest servue are
ui the i'icific north west, Jmt as
the grazing division has its field
I of work in ths west and has been
Jtent to Colorado. If the scheme
is successful the forest service
1 will be sent to some city, not in
California. The snut wouiu
make no difference to tha rang
ers but would cause consterna
tion in headquarters where the
'liberals' wish to remain in the
capital. Timber owners have no
trouble with the field men, as
they know their busineu, but
there is growing dissatisfaction
with top officials who direct the
policy from the department of
agriculture.

Valley Forge Versus

To the editor:
I see your article on higher
pay for soldiers and arguments
against. Seems to me they all
miss your point, which ain't
giving the soldier all the cash
he needs to be the best fighter
in the world which he is but
doubling his pay from 321 a
month to $42, which is too
much.
Not as you say paying him
!for his service to his country
and risking his life that can't
be paid for in dollars and
cents, but for spending money,
over and above what he gets
free: food, clothes, lodging, shel
ter and the best of any army
in the world.
I think 321 a month, which
la boosted to $30 in 90 days, is
about enough, at any rate there
Isn't need of $42. I fit and bled
in the Mexican war (1916) and
if I had had $30 a month in
my pocket after paying all liv
ing expenses I would have felt
lousy rich, and I would now
too, for I Just get by without
Ice cream cones or liberty bonds
either.
So don't get down-hearted,
and keep up the good work
This war has to be won and
as somebody said money can't
do it, men must. And not ice

Write the President
To the editor: Letters to con
gress can do no good so long as
the administration is backing
labor or rather unions. As has
been proved In the past there Is
no real head but the president.
The representatives passed a
bill which would have settled
the unions, but the senate pigeon
holed it simply because they
have a majority vote of 3 to 1
so we can readily see that our
able Sena'xi McNary and Hol
man are fighting a losing battle
with a 3 to 1 opposition.
The president says we must
keep our "social gains", but
what good will they do us if
the Japanese take over? Maybe
they are social gains but they
are not free men gains when
you have to buy a Job.
What about the manufactur
ers? Can they make anything
they want to? Car dealers? Can
they sell cars? Gas dealers?
They were cut 20. All of us
will be rationed on almost every
thing. So why should labor be
so special? By what rights
should they be allowed to do as
they please?
As this leaves us one thing to
do so let's do it with a will.
Write to the president Let's
write so much and so often that
he will have to do something
besides take over plants. Let the
boss be boss and give the own
ers a chance. ELLA POWELL
