The political Vichy regime of Trance, headed by Old Marshal Petain, alwaya a hater of demo cracy, has moved to closer col laboration, with the Nails, and placet Pierre Laval, as black a pirate as ever scuttled a nation In power as chief of state. Many recall the bitter and venomous descriptions of France, applied by Germany In the First war. The insults rolled Americans. In the light of events, the Huns of the Kaiser's day were right, as far as Vichy France is con cerned. Free France presents a braver picture. "Wanted Girl or woman for general houseworry for small family In the country. Phone 606." (Exchange Want ad.) The printer knows. Mole hills have started ap pearing on lawns and look like mts. to the Older Girls.

YIPEE-EE (Siskiyou News) "Morris Prather, well known rancher and cattle Inspector fn these parts, wears a hat that really stops 'em. A ten-gallon affair, it sweeps skyward in front, then droeps shoulder length in back, giving the af fect of a '49 sunbonnet." Press dispatches report the wedding at Pasadena, of a couple, both 70, after a 49-year courtship. It cannot be said the groom did not put up a struggle. A federal order fixes the minimum temperatures for oil heated habitations in Oregon and Washington at 63 degrees Violators will be charged with getting warm and aiding Hitler, "The days of 20-dollar pieces and prosperity, recalled with re gret by the old-timers, are liable to return after Umatilla county's crop is harvested.

I want the experience the purg ing, marshaling, driving experi enceof being made to feel mad. Fighting mad: (Printers' Tnk ) A Pyrrhic Victory 1 The overwhelming victory of Senator C. Wayland (Curly) Brooks in the Illinois Primary is hailed as a crushing defeat for President Roosevelt. In a sense it is. For Warren Wright, Brooks' oppo nent, made the Roosevelt pro-war program, his main issue, and was smothered in a landslide of over 5 to 1. But even more the result is a defeat for the Repub lican party. For it clearly demonstrates, that as far as the great state of Abraham Lincoln is concerned, an over whelming majority of the Republicans in that state, uphold the discredited policy of U. S. isolationism, and the injection of political partisanship into the present war. Carve this piece of bologna, as you will, that is the only answer that makes sense ! . FOR while since Pearl Harbor "Curly" Brooks has been doing what all other. Isolationists, including the Chicago Tribune have been doing, hitting it up for sanguinary slaughter and carnage, particularly as far as the Japs are concerned, he is still as isola tionist and anti-British at heart as he ever was, and certainly there can be few literates in the great Illi nois electorate, who went to the polls yesterday, not entirely aware of the fact In fact "Curly" has always been the Tribune's pet and white-haired boy from the outset, taking an eloquent and aggressive stand against the Roosevelt administration, and voting against every prepared ness and war measure presented lend-lease, enlarg ing the army, the draft, securing bases in the Atlantic, dispatching troops to Iceland and Ireland and what have you. CERTAINLY had there been any disposition within the ranks of the Republican party in Illinois to deplore such isolationism, or condemn the effort to make political capital out of the strong passion of the American people for peace, Brooks would have been kicked out of public life, instead of being made the G.O.P. nominee with a vote standing, at the present writing, at nearly 500,000 to his opponent's 90,000 1 VES, it is a great victory for "Curly" and the Chi- cago Tribune. But unless the great state of Illinois is not only the "sucker" but the "SLACKER" state, it spells certain doom for Illinois Republicanism in November. Sprague Versus Snell . Fortunately there will be no such issue in the Re publican Primary in this state next month. The main contest will be between our present Governor, Charles Sprague, and his Secretary of State, Earl Snell. We entirely agree with Governor Sprague's first formal statement at Salem last night, as he fired the opening gun of his campaign. Said he: "Secretary of State Earl Snell, my opponent, is a very thorough gentleman. We have no personal animosities. Times are such, however, I have honestly felt it my duty to remain In the office if the voters so willed, because of the war emergency organizations I have undertaken to set up and because of my many contacts with the army, the navy and federal officials." The Governor is right. Earl Snell IS a thorough gentleman, and a very popular man. There is certainly no issue between them as far as a vigorous prosecution of the war or devotion to the welfare of Oregon are concerned. IF there ever has been any validity, however, to the well known dictum of Abraham Lincoln: "I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country; but I am reminded in this connection of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once, that it was not best to swap horses when crossing a stream. ' We say, if that familiar saying ever HAD any validity and of course it has had, then certainly it has very special application in the state of Oregon at this time. Modest and somewhat retiring we are quite sure Governor Sprague does not regard himself as "the best in the country" (or state) but, In an emergency such as exists at present, we be lieve the wisdom of NOT swapping horses, will ap peal to all Republicans, at the coming Primary, and all the people of the state, regardless of party in November, as far as that is concerned. "War of Survival?" If, as reported from Washington, President Roose velt has selected "War of Survival" as his choice for first prize in his war slogan contest, then we trust he will keep the decision to himself, and forget about it In fact this jejune stunt from the outset, has ap pealed to this department as undignified and in decidedly poor taste. The present world-wide conflict is in all proba bility the greatest tragedy of ALL HUMAN HISTORY,--certainly nothing to regard in the light of just another sporting event, or a Palm Beach beauty contest Let history name this grim epic of human suffering as history WILL, not the lads and lassies at the President's press conference, bright as they are. MOREOVER "War of" Survival" in this depart ' niont's view is far from a happy choice. SURVIVAL! we can survive, and still lose the war, survive as a nation, with Germany in control of all Europe, and Japan, master in the Pacific. But what sort of an existence would that kind of survival be? No, we don't know what the proper title IS, but we do know what it ISN'T. And a war of mere survival, is LN that list Personal Health Service Br William signed teller, perlalnlni t amoral health ana ejt'eoe, not to alee.se dtagnuM- or treatment, will b. answered by Dr. Brady If . stamped .elf. addressed envelope u enclosed, tellers .hoiild M hnef and errltten Id In. oelni to the Urre number of letters rereiee ante a tea m he answered her.

I WISH Young man whose inquiry concerning use of sedative hypnotic (suggested In popular book by a pro fessor of psy ch o 1 ogy) we printed here the other day compl a i n e d that he has been a "chron ic" introvert. . . . unable to mix with peo ple . . . gener ally unioel able" all his life (28 years) and has not "achieved the de frce of expressiveness" he would like to have, whatever that means. Except the detail of age, the young man's description of hit temperament would serve for the Introvert who conducts this column, and therefore I am anxious to see whether any thing Is to be done about It. After all, folks, it is no crime to be an Introvert. Vou know, that worried me for many years. I couldn't shake off the unpleas ant feeling or Idea that some how my Introversion made me a kind of outcast or outsider, not one of the party, a crank or something. It gave me an inferi ority complex. There, damn it, I've slopped over into the vapid psychological lingo. But we'll go no further. Just what is an introvert any way? Well, without relapsing into psychological blah let us take Webster's definition a person strongly Inclined to in troversion. And introversion, Webster explains, is "interest directed inward; a propensity for finding one's satisfaction In the inner life of thought and fancy." I wish I knew how the young man and thousands of other young people of similar temper ament could become as much an extrovert as he and they believe they would like to be. Personally, having observed and studied Introverts and ex troverts under various circum stances I am content to remain an introvert, although I know many extroverts who are appar ently happy and cheerful about their predicament, and withal fine company and loyal friends. Suppose we were all extro verts. What a wretched affair a News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Page One) savings" is not in the hands of all the people. The white col lar classes and people living on fixed incomes are not getting any of it. There are supposed to be 40,- 000,000 workers in the country and only around 8,000,000 or so are in the dues-paying union labor wage scale group, whose income Is naturally greater from the war effort. This is not an exact distinction between those who are making more now from the war effort, and those whose income has not been increased. ... "OBVIOUSLY the greatest In- crease In Income is going to those directly working in war production lines, while an unde fined large group of citizens out side have not had the same raises, and some of them have become unemployed temporarily by cessations in the consumers goods lines of Industry, due to priorities. But the compulsory savings group holds no exceptions can be made in overall anti-inflation policies. They would select a minimum as the only exemption say $1,200. From whatever amount of money is made by anyone above that figure, they would deduct at the source a certain amount S0N0T0NE WORLD-WIDE ' HEARING SERVICE ,' 2k'- !1B Qim Mala Consultant. Room 10.

Bowls, bowling on the green, hat been great boon for me. It it advisable for every intro vert, every one with an inferior ity complex, to cultivate some game which he or she can play regularly and enjoy playing. Preferably a game involving competition with other players or teams of players and open air or at least active exercise. Friendly rivalry or tests of skill in games never fails to mitigate the inferiority feeling and to give one instead an equality feel ing or a comforting sense of be ing one of the gang or party, not an outsider looking in.

Some of them want to work the amount ud on a craduated ! scale like income taxes, so a larger percentage would be de- i ducted in the larger wage brackets. In all this direct and indirect refrigeration, wages would be chilled only by their proximity to the freezing apparatus and not by direct action. By freezing prices, the Hend-erson-Eccles group, as I get is, expects to remove Justification of further wage increases, and therefore calculate that the wage aspect would be eliminated. They would supplement this ex pectation, however, with volun tary agreements among the trade unions. Even some of the most skepti cal financial leaders in congress are being drawn by these argu ments, around toward endorsing a voluntary salary-withholding system now, and saying they ex pect it may have to be compul sory next year. ... CMOTIONALISM, which is a natural outgrowth oj war, seems to have seized our econo mic literature and is running off with it into flights of fanciful conjecture about the post-war world.

On the commit tees labor would be provided majority, the management minority. Then various com mittees would do various things on up to an overall central plan ning commission for each indus try, a top soviet, which would tell each plant how much it could produce, what it could be sold for and a lot of other things. Dreher tries to caU It "demo cratic collectivism," but it is trade-union fascism, system of soviet management, which he assumes to be democratic be cause he would let "the public" own the plants, as if the public would want any ownership in plants so controlled. It would serve labor right, if Mr. Dreher would make them own the plants, and let manage ment work for them (with a union, of course). ... IF the coming federal food ra- tionlng does not remove un ripe peaches from the diet of economists, these economic hor ror stories will never cease. Kelly's Comment From Washington, D. C Free Road Maps Due For Eclipse 70 Common Items Under WPB Ban Protest Bring Forest Fund : . By John W. st.llr Washington, D. C, April 15. Two oil companies with outlets through thousands of service stations in the northwest plan discontinuance of the highway maps they have been distribut ing. This step is taken to con serve paper and with the know ledge that touring will rapidly diminish in that area, especially with gasoline rationing. The road maps advertise, of course, the particular gasoline. Later, it is predicted, all gasoline will be pooled and this is further reason for not advertising the gas. About the opening of deer hunting season sportsmen may look for a warning from the na tional capital not to waste am munition and shells. The crack down may come earlier. The American way of life Is rapidly changing since Pearl Harbor. Donald Nelson's war production board ia doing its best to impress this fact on the people, that this nation is In a war and that sacrifices must be made. Within 60 days or less there will be 70 items now of everyday use under the ban and their manufacture will not be permitted until peace comes again. These items range from metal ash trays to weighing machines and they include all manner of electric devices from waffle irons to toaster. Without exception each of the 70 articles ts composed in part, if not entirely, of metal. Ex planation is that metals are more essential for war work than for civilian purposes, and war comes first just as the army was arguing (without effect) two years ago in mapping out a ten tative war program. By June the radio manufacturers will be up to their necks in war work; there will be no more Venetian blinds of metal but those of Port Orford cedar will be permitted; mixers, whippers and Juicers which lessen the work of the housewife will no longer t- made, and this also goes for the vacuum cleaner, vegetable bin, clothes trees, plant and flower supports, washing machines and pressing irons. At first blush, it would appear that the housewife will be compelled to make the greater sacrifices, for the con traptions forbidden are largely for domestic use. To a large extent the building of dwellings will be frozen, the exceptions being the claptrap domiciles thrown together to BHaasasBesefcH i r t . am Good to your budget, too. is this smoother, mellower whiskey!

I Scores of factories which have been producing the 70 items can not adapt themselves to any other endeavor and must fall by the wayside. Mr. Nelson says these are the casualties of war and he only hopes that there will not be too many. Such small plants as can be converted to war work will, eventually, re ceive orders. Uncle Sam is moving rapidly as he can to gear up for the greatest productive effort in the world's history; he has accomplished more in four months than Britain did in the first year. The automobile fac tories are producing tanks or airplane enginet; autot and tires for the general public are things of the past; comes now a long list of conveniences which can not be made after April, others in May. Around the corner is another ukase which will deal with the use of steel. Mr. Nel son admits that the orders of WPB will have a profound ef fect upon the whole economy. ... REALIZING what a forest fire means, people on the west coast poured in so many letters and telegrams that the senate appro priations committee approved a sum of mone. The pleas came from Aberdeen, Spokane, Seat tle, Hoquiam, Newport, Wash., Portland, Salem, Eugene, Ore., and several California communi ties. Owners of timber, saw mills, plywood plants united in stressing the urgency for forest fire protection in wires to Sena tor Holman, member of the com mittee. These were backed up by Senators Bone and Wallgren of Washington, Senator McNary of Oregon, and Senator Thomas of Idaho, and a long list of of ficials from the forest service and from the timber division of the interior department. . e e SENATOR WALLRRFV hue a confirmed belief that the great future of the northwest is in the light metal industry. He says that magnesium will be re placing aluminum by the end of the year and that it will be made so cheaply that the material will be used as a substitute for alum inum in planes. To aid In de veloping the immense deposits oi magnesium clays In the north west Senator Wallgren has of fered a bill proposing $300,000 for establishing an electro de velopment laboratory. The mag nesium situation is not satisfac tory to a number of congress men and a probe is being urged, especially of a plant in the southwest. . . Present indications are that no northwest congress man will be able to return home in the coming campaign. Duty will keep them in Washington.
