(P A usually reliable source said to day unconfirmed reports had been received that 30 highly placed Italians had been disci plined or rebuked by Premier Mussolini recently for attempt ing a movement for a separate Italian peace with Britain. Cm Mall Tribune aat ads. Tokyo Is Bombed! Well, well, that air raid on Tokyo IS something! Not only Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya (the big air craft center) and Kobe. ( Tokyo claims no serious damage of course. Unless the construction of Japanese factories and houses has changed overnight, however, the damage must have been tremendous. Outside of one hotel in Tokyo, Japan is supposed to have had practically no fire proof construction at all, and it fire fighting equip ment, until very recently at least, dated back to the Chicago fire. CO here is certainly a military achievement of the first magnitude hitting Japan where she lives, striking Nippon in her weakest, instead of her strong est, point It is something this department has urged ever since last December 7th, without, however, any ap preciable effect upon the U. S. general staff! (!) TITELL there is no evidence these planes did come " from Russia. On the other hand there is no evidence they DIDN'T. In fact one item in Secretary of War Stimson'B statement of Friday that our army was all set for an all-out offensive, might mean Russia had secretly turned over some air bases in the Vladivostok area to the United States. "Friendly nations," remarked the Secretary of War, "are holding posts in distant places vital to us." What other friendly nation could be meant? China? Australia? The Netherlands? Free French? Possibly. But what nation but Soviet Russia has air fields of any importance in running order in far distant places? IT is all a guess, we admit. But until the base for this bombing attack is known, we refuse to rule out Vladivostok entirely. We grant it isn't probable but it is possible. And this Siberian coast has it all over any other feasible air base area for it is only a few hundred miles from Japan and the nearest available point to Dutch harbor and the United States. LIOWEVER that may be, sufficient unto the day are the good tidings thereof? For from Some allied airbase Japan has been bombed, for the first time since Pearl Harbor, the first time in history and what was done Friday, certainly can be done Saturday, Sunday, or any other day in the week. How do you like getting cine, General Togo? Japan's "Lord Haw-Haw" In a characteristic "fishing" expedition, Tokyo claims to have sunk a large U. S. airplane carrier off the coast of Japan. In the same dispatch it is also claimed this air at tack on Japan was made by teen based at Panay. The latter is particularly war office. The airfields anese hands, so no further least need be feared. THESE Japs are amusing birds. Their propaganda .of fi-rf a o i-a ar tra nanararif Tewer tVio cVmrf W9VA Friday night the prototype of Germany's "Lord Haw Hr.w" even pulled the old bewhiskered wheeze that in this initial blast "only schools and hospitals were hit!" The God-fearing and populace NATURALLY were much horrified by this evidence of calculated brutality and indifference to the finer things of life ! "Foxy Grandpa" Yes, this is the age of military experts, they are thicker than flies on a leaking beer barrel in August. In yesterday's Oregonian two of them held forth on the same page Kirke L. Simpson of the Associat ed Press, and an un-byelined but copyrighted corre spondent of the Chicago Daily News, Incorp., Secre tary Knox's paper. Simpson pontificated that Pierre Laval is destined to play second-fiddle to Admiral Darlan in the new Vichy set-up, the latter holding the veto power over the former. The Chicago News correspondent, on the other hand, writing from "Somewhere in Europe" makes exactly the opposite claim, Admiral Darlan, far from being the power behind the throne, has been "let down with a sop." We quote: Meanwhile. Admiral Jean Darlan, whom Laval replaces, has been let down with a sop. A Vichy decree maintains the demoted vice-premier and foreign minister in the roster of active French army officers without age limit. This status, applied before only in the cases of Marshal Petain and General Maxime Weygand, offers a crumb of moral satisfaction to a man who now passes into the background of modern French history. Well boys and girls, pay your money and take your choice. But this is characteristic of our best war experts the conflict of their views can only be exceeded by THEIR assurance. Our own view is the Chicago News correspondent has all the better of the argument. For those who know foxy Laval best, know that once given power he plays second fiddle to NO ONE! He may, for expediency's sake, pretend to. And as he is quite aware of his personal popularity hcth on this side of the water and the other, what more natural than that with the long-desired reins of control finally in his hands, he should make it appear a little of your own medi U. S. bombers which had consoling for the Tokyo of Panay are now in Jap raids from this source at humanity - loving Japanese that he is subordinate both to Darlan, and to the ven erable idol of the French people, General Petain. In short it all looks like a characteristic Laval ruse to us, obvious window dressing, solely for Laval's own selfish purposes, and the better to hoodwink the allies.

Utterly Hills, Calif. POOR MAN WITH DIAB Here is what one diabetic thinks about It: Dear Dr. Brady: I am mar ried man 32 years old and have had dia betes since I was 14 years old. When! first found out I had it, regu lation of diet and Insulin came before everything else. Fortun ately I had at tained 8th grade education be fore that time. I believe there are few kinds or types of labor I haven't done or tried, and a few years ago after much begging and running around I got an order for a few bottles of insulin from the local relief office. It is too bad we don't get some one in political office with diabetes. We have Christmas seals for tuberculosis and the March of Dimes for victims of infantile paralysis, but no agency to help diabetes sufferers who cannot afford to buy insulin. There must be hundreds of diabetics right here in this com munity who are, like myself, unable to buy the insulin they need. It seems every job I get I'm In debt for insulin when I start, and then of course it is a prob lem to buy more and pay for what I have already used and still keep a home together. (One of thousands of insulin users.) This Is one of many letters of similar import I have received from diabetics who need insulin but cannot afford it. Without further discussion I submit it, first, to the public, and second, to the rank and file of the American Medical as sociation whose unrestrained self-constituted spokesman scath ingly denounced me, in the edi torial columns of what purports to be the official organ of the association, because I called to public attention the equivocal attitude of the American Medi cal association toward the pat enting of Insulin in the face of In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS TN Washington there are many demagogues, and few states men. One of the statesmen Is Sena tor Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia For years Senator Byrd has waged a losing fight against extravagance, against financial recklessness FOR common, or dinary business horse sense in government. As a statesman, he must of necessity be a student of his tory. As a student of history he knows that extravagance financial recklessness and LACK of common, ordinary horse sense have been the causes of the downfall of most of the great nations that have declined and fallen. a e a a speech delivered In the ' senate on April 10, Senator Byrd said: "I personally estimate that two billion dollars each year ran be saved In non-defense upending, and have given a de tailed schedule. Here it is: "Abolish the CCC. Abolish the National Youth Administration. "Abolish the WPA. "Abolish the Farm Security Administration." a e a ME adds: ' 1 "This will save approxi mately $1 S00.000 000 on the basis of appropriations for the current year. All of these agtn cic were created for the PEACE TIME emergency of the depres sion. "The other $300,000,000 can be saved in deferring land pur chases and all public works not directly connected with the war effort, in reducing the overhead .expenses of the department of I agriculture, in reducing the 'appropriation for tht exporta Brady M.

He says: "Maryland is an average state and two billion dollar reduc tion in non-defense spending would mean a saving of $40, 000,000 a year to the average state. The amount of income taxes paid by Maryland In 1941 was $72,000 000. and this means that this saving in non-essential spending would amount to 60 per cent of the total Income taxes paid last year by Mary land." tea HE then says: "I mt . 4 4U1.

Men who fight for common sense In government In these days need encouragement. Communications Prefers Mr. Snail for Governor To the editor: In regard to your editorial "Sprague versus Snell" In the Mail Tribune of April 13th. I have the following . comments to make: I You state that it la best not to swap hones when crossing a stream. Do you feel that this re mark Is logical? I have always I understood that a horse no mat ter how good he may have been gets to the point in time where he ia simply plodding along but not actually getting very far. This ia nothing against tha horse, but why not take on a fresh one? Paul Revere did. It ia definitely true, as Mr Sprague mentioned in his cam paign speech, that Earl Snell ia a thorough gentleman. As for contacts with the army, the navy and federal officials, Mr. Snell was appointed as a mem ber of the national board of five serving as a highway traffic ad visory committee to the war de partment. This committee was set up at the request of tha sec retary of war. So it is obvious that Mr. Snell will have the best of contacts in this respect. May I say Earl Snell is dynamic, cau tious but aggressive and sincere. So why not give another man that we know gets things done a chance to carry us over this critical period safely. a (Name on file) A Republican' who proves that all Republicans do not agree with the editor. Kelly's Comment From Washington. D. C. Action Due Soon To Halt Inflation Many Deferred In Draft Calls Pasco Depot To Be Supply Head By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C, April 19. It costs $1.20 today to buy some thing which one year ago cost $1 (figures from department of labor.) High officials do not like this steadily Increasing cost of living and will soon do some thing about it before prices get out of hand. This is what is called Inflation; the increased purchasing power of the people, a limited amount of commodities and the competition of those with money seeking to buy the scarce goods. In the higher brackets of government it is proposed to meet the situation by setting a price on everything from rents to baby carriages. This will be supplemented by rationing certain customer dur able goods. One of the means to curb pur chasing power is to restrict re tail credit. Some fine morning from Washington will be issued an order striking at the charge accounts of the department stores. The customer will be able to say "charge it," but with in limitations. How this will be worked out is yet undecided, but possibly a customer with a charge account will be limited to a certain percentage of the purchase, the remainder to be paid in cash. The present hob bles on installment buying will be tightened. Uncle Sam wants everyone to get out of debt as soon as possible and be in posi tion to pay more taxes, buy more bonds and stamps. Re strictions on retail credit will affect furniture stores, credit groceries, fur stores, many wom en's specialty shops and certain men's clothing stores by reduc ing their volume of business. Rent control, now in effect In a few cities, is to be made nation-wide but especially in places like the Pacific north west where there are war in dustries. Less attention will be given to communities which have lost population through re moval to work in shipyards, air plane factories and munitions plants. Government is deter mined that the people shall not be gouged by landlords. a e e OUT of every 100 men classi fied for the draft 64 have been deferred. Army officials are bothered about it for it is slow ing down the building up of an army which ia eventually to be CORN REMOVER Owes kuual rsllel ha aala sad teal Ovalr reewTee afd earaa. eeB tares betwaaa Ota toes. caUeaaee. wane, eaeuiaaua. dak aalle.

Local boards have been deferring those with de pendents but there are so many with dependents of combat age that only 36 have been Inducted, the single men in the draft. War department says that thofe with dependents must be put in uni form, and this puts the problem up to congress. The legislative branch has done nothing about dependents. A bill has been in troduced increasing the compen sation of soldiers, sailors and marines. Another measure pro vides that a soldier allot $13 a month to his family, the govern ment matching this for the wife, giving an additional $15 a month for one child, $10 for the second and $5 for each addition al child. This would give a family of four $60 a month. Still another bill proposes high er compensation. It Is roughly estimated that the cost of car ing for dependents will be one half billion dollars a year, a a a WHEN all males have regist ered on April 27 the selective service estimates there will be 41,870,000 listed between 18 and 65 years. Out of this number the breakdown shows 5,000,000 for the army, 1,000,000 for the navy, 2.000,000 for the air corps, 20.000,000 for industry, 9,000, 000 for agriculture, and. 4.000, 000 for civilian defense. There is not yet an announced use for the men of 45-65, estimated at 10,000.000; all they ere required to do is to register and indicate what their business or profes sion may be. In the first World war the top registration was 45 years, and they were never called upon to do anything. It will be noted that war In dustries will require 15 for each soldier; almost two men in agri culture. Taking the air corps, the navy and army (8,000,000) there will be 2.5 in industry for each service man. Later, with women in war industries, in cluding government plants, they will replace men of combat age. e e a WHEN food and munitions can be sent to Russia by north west steamers, to the port of Vladivostok, the supplies will be shipped from the sprawling depot now under construction at Pasco. The warehouses now being built will be 1,500 feet long and into them trains will run, where they will unload materials sent from various places and assembled for the Pa cific countries.
