Alex Moore of the Washing ton school Is celebrating the arrival of a brother at the home nf his folks Aiming at Hitler Determination by the United States War Produc tion Board to revaluate and cancel "virtually all" contracts to build war plants that cannot be in pro duction by the middle of 1943 reflects the "do it now" attitude of Donald M. Nelson. So abrupt a change in original plans apparently indicates two things: First, that planes, tanks, guns, ships are being turned out in such vast quantities as to assure fulfill ment of the President's program for 60,000 planes, 45,000 tanks and 8,000,000 tons of merchant shipping all in the calendar year 1942 and for still greater production next year. Second, a belief that German morale is bo badly shaken by eleven months of bloody warfare against Soviet Russia that internal collapse could come if an all-out endeavor subjected Hitler to severe mili tary reverses in 1942. That is, it is all important that a supreme effort be put forth by the United Nations this year. . s e MO other interpretation is possible of the just an- ' nounced arrival in Northern Ireland of "thou sands upon thousands" of American troops, fully equipped with tanks and heavy guns. This was the largest convoy yet sent overseas, so vast that it re quired several days to disembark the troops. Nothing could be plainer than that the objective of these troops is not the defense of the British Isles but par ticipation in a major offensive against Hitler. It is a coincidence, and an impressive one, that the very day that this change of plan by the WPB betame known, American correspondents, who had been prisoners in Germany and Italy, arrived in Lisbon with stories jf deep unrest Nothing could be more to the full, as early as possible, on the psychology of these peoples. Not ripe for revolution, they are never theless dismayed by the terrific loss of life and by the privations those at home have to endure. They know they cannot help knowing that Hitler direly needs the resources of Russia, and that the German industrial machine is slowing down. CANCELING by the United States of contracts for war plants that cannot be in full production by July of next year does not tion m the nation s war endeavor or war spending. It makes possible utilizing for munitions to hurl at the No. 1 ener..y the steel and other materials that would otherwise go into the construction of these plants, and to use them at the time when they can do him the most harm. The allies cannot afford to indulge in the optimistic view that Germany will collapse without Hitler's being subjected to military defeat He steadfastly preaches that German armies never are defeated. But the lesson of 1918 is plain: The internal collapse came at a time When German armies in the field were retreating. The German people were aware of that fact. The end in Europe may come again when the armies of, Hitler suffer Bevere military reverses and popular support fails with the extinction of further hope. R.S. ' Weight of Resources Surveying the war as it rages by land and by sea, it is increasingly apparent that the pace is killing and that conditions apply now as they did at the be ginning of the wai that the allies are in far better shape to keep the pace than the axis. In Russia the rate of destruction is almost incom prehensible, yet the Russians, with the aid of material contributions from America and Britain, are hurling the invaders back at the most fiercely contested point. This strongly suggests that the nazis are weakening under the strain. Their lack of resources at the begin ning of the conflict is again demonstrated significant ly in the aggressors' inability to press forward irresist ibly as they once did. DLIGHT of the nazis is given additional credence 7 by the report of American observers, just home from Germany and Italy, that the European axis is unable to organize captured resources due to the opposition of the conquered. The same condition prevails at sea. Germany is losing at least one submarine out of three launched. Her surface fleet is badly battered and imprisoned. Japanese losses in the Coral Sea, Macassar Strait and tlsewhere have been staggering. Japan's steel ca pacity is only 8,000,000 tons annually, less than one tenth that of America, and the Japanese have no chance whatever of matching America in the naval race. As was competently estimated at the beginning of the world straggle, resources will tell. They are be ginning now to tell and a triumphant outcome of the war for the allies is more apparent day by day. R.S. Petroleum Rubber Privately-operated government plants for the pro duction of synthetic rubber out of certain constituents of petroleum may mark the beginning of a new era in the southwestern United States oil fields through renewed emphasis upon the paramount importance to the oil regions of chemistry not only in the mineral field but also in agriculture. Locations of the two plants that will use the Phil lips process have not been disclosed. They will be somewhere in the mid-continent near sources of heavy hydro-carbon supply. The bases to be used are reported to be styrene and butadiene. Styrene, long a product of plant life, can be captured in the combi nation of hydrogen and carbon. So, too, butadiene is a child of that partnership.

I can only say that he Is a recognized au thority on her nia. He says: "I recenUy treated the presid e n t of the In surance com pany. This company h a.s Dr. Brady been sending their employees to me for years, for injection treatment. When the president found he had a hernia he knew just what to do. He said he would not consider operation until a fair trial of injection treatment had failed, for his company had paid out too much for recurrent hernia operations. "Many cured patients have been accepted by the army and navy and some surgeons in the services now advise injection treatment in many cases. "One young man whom I had instructed to wear a truss for a while after Injection cure ap peared before the draft board. The doctor who examined him asked why he wore the truss was it In the hope of escaping induction into the service? It happens that this young man's father is also one of my cured hernia patients. "In another case a doctor who examined a young man I had given the injection treatment maintained he had never had a hernia, therefore could not have taken injection treatment for hernia, and demanded that the young man bring a state ment from the physician who had given the Injection treat ment. I gave the young man a statement. Still the doctor was unconvinced and demanded an itemized statement showing the dates of the injections. "Recently I gave a two-year-old boy five injections for in guinal hernia, and he was cured. I also cured his grandfather, uncle and father- and now they tell me they are going to bring maternal grandmother for her nia treatment! "Numerous large Industrial corporations, such as (aircraft plants and the like) now accept men for employment as soon as the men (with hernia) receive News Behind The News By Paul Mailon (Continued Prom Page One) is therefore, effective only above 4,000 feet where the plane moves slowly across its vision. Everybody has another A-A gun, the 37 mm., for use be tween 2,000 and 4,000 feet. That is why the Doollttlers went no higher than 1,500. At that altitude their planes, car rying special new devices which are the product of American inventive genius, traveled so fast nothing could move fast enough to catch them except a machine gun, But at their invasion altitude of 100 feet or less they crossed the horizon of any given ma chine gun so fast the gunner could hardly have known they were coming before they were gone. This explains why no plane was lost, why the Japs cashier ed the generals in charge of their defense and started figur ing up some new ideas of pro tection, why they could think of nothing to do afterward ex cept howl that only hospitals and schools were bombed. Can you imagine one of these Doolittlers carrying a bomb all the way to Japan to waste it on a non-military objective at mid-day from 1.500 teet? Why, he could shave off the emper or's mustache under those con ditions. Now none of these three phsses Is entirely new to the warring minds of men. but no one ever before put thrm to gether In the way Gen. Doolit tle did. Herein lies all the ele ments of the story of how and why we will win the war. We have ways had the best flyers and the best planes. It has taken us a while to adapt them to surprise conditions which were presented to us. We are Just beginning to show our stuff. The secret weapon of the United Slates is the same as always.

'The County Medical society took it up with the manager of (one of the largest insur ance companies), urging that injection treatment is worthless, quackery, etc., and operation is the only proper treatment for hernia. The insurance company replied that when the company needed advice they'd call on the medical society but as long as the company's experience with the - injection treatment is so satisfactory the company would continue to favor it, or words to that effect. "It is strange how obstinately the old guard keeps up the fight for operation." ... QIXSTIONS AND AXgWIB Pyorrhea . Tour pimphlct on Pyorrhea 1s fine only with I ml(ht bin b4 It to guide mo yean ago.

Beverly Bills, Calif. would probably next turn back on China to knock her out of the war with a pincer drive down the Yangtze and up through Yunnan, has now been fully confirmed in dispatches (May 20) from Chungking. The prospect that China would be in a bad way is now' being sug gested by tha Chinese authori ties. Invasion of Australia now seems more remote than ever. Attack on India seems out of the Jap program entirely. (Both these remote possibilities then were being widely predicted, you will remember). Of two real prospects . sug gested In that May 8 column, one is still alive. A Jap attack on Russia may be started joint ly with the operations In China at any time. But the Jap move to seize islands east of Australia (New Hebrides, New Caledonia, New Zealand) to cut our line of sup plies, has certainly been delay ed by the battle of the Coral sea. However, no one knows for how long. ell TPHE Russia fighting is ln- volved on both sides in a complicated system of counter attacks which are difficult to measure from day to day. The Germans started at Kerch; the Russians moved at Kharkov to relieve Kerch; the German counter-attack south of Khar kov to relieve Kharkov. No one will be able to guess well how the fighting Is going until it de velops further. The Grange Upper Rogue Grange Upper Rogue Grange met May 21 with Master Herb Carlton in the chair.

Closing time ror Classified Ada a re. too late to Claaauy 1JJO a. ex I Kelly's Comment From Washington. D. C Plant Expansion Ban Hit Coast Highway Services Due For Beating Army Will Take Train Priority Br Joha W. Kelly Washington, D. C, May 23 Declaration of Donald Nelson that there will be no more plant expansions nor new plants in order to save for war purposes the material necessary for con struction of the plants, may cost the northwest some contemplat ed, war industries. The confu sion, delays and pulling and hauling have prevented some Industrie from now being un der way, such as chemical plants, stainless steel, phos phates, etc. Under the ukase of Mr. Nelson there is a possi bility that these projects will vanish into thin air. In the same category are the proposed aluminum ingot plants (in addition to those now at Tacoma, Longview, Vancouver, Troutdale, Spokane) to be lo cated at the foot of Grand Coulee dam and elsewhere. Existing plants in the north west, in TVA area and in Can ada cannot produce the amount of aluminum required for the thousands of airplanes sched uled for this year and next. A fair guess is that Mr. Nelson will relent sufficiently to au thorize the building of the con templated aluminum expansion east of the mountains in the Pacific states. There must be some exceptions or the well advertised bottlenecks will de velop in a number of lines of Industry. Loss of any of the various Industries which have been pro posed for the northwest would be a hardship, and particularly those which could be converted to peacetime purposes after the duration. The Nelson order kills any further hope of a steel industry which last year was In the making for Puget sound. (The proposed ' Portland plant, a small affair, is in the making now.) Notwithstanding Mr. Nel son, however, the ubiquitous Henry Kaiser has not abandoned his plans for a large steel oper ation which would affect all three Pacific states. Mr. Kaiser has had this on his mind for a year, and, what he goes after he generally gets. He is tops in the national capital because of the speed with which the vari ous shipyards he is connected with are turning out boats. ' I AT the ton of the list of the 48 states in number of automo biles per capita are California. Oregon and Washington. The so-called "saturation point" was I oassed years ago by these states. I This summer will see thousands of cars In the northwest off the road and businesses which are sustained by rubber-borne cus tomers are ln for hard luck. On the arterial highways the hamburger stands, restaurants, places which are strictly for entertainment, such as night clubs fringing the edges of many cities, the little stores, the auto camps and motels will soon be taking a beating. This loss of trade (no one can estimate the dollar cost) will be distributed over every section of the three states. On the highways busi ness will be paralyzed, and the creeping paralysis has set in: will spread until business is reduced to zero. With a few exceptions every beach resort will be dead as a dodo; the summer homes in the mountains and In lake dis tricts will be closed. Only ex ceptions will be those places which can be reached by bus or train, and it may as well be told office of defense transpor tation Intends a rationing sys tem for bus lines and trains. There will be a few pleasure cars with good tires this sum mer and. if they can get suffi cient gas. they may go to the old resorts and cottaRes: but the great mass of motorists will not wear out their tires unneces sarily. i TROOP movements to the coast and freight for the ship- yams win use thousands of railroad cars. What It means moving troops and equipment alone Is best indicated by the fact that 1.420 cars are calcu lated as necessary to move a division of 12.000 men. These cars are broken down Into 75 trains of 20 cars each. A heavy troop movement to the north west can be expected in a few months: not one division, but many divisions. This will tie up rolling stock, adding a fur ther shortage to sleepers and day coaches for the traveling public. Ther are not as many cars on the rails as there were in the first world war and loco motives are sadly required by every trans-continental carrier. To conserve the freight cars an order will be issued which will forbid the use of freight cars for shipment of goods which can be hauled by motor trucks, esr-ecially all short-haul business between cities. This is one break i tha motor transport will receive from ODT, and another will be i the elimination of barriers be tween states. ! With the Increasing demands , on railroads the carriers are also having difficulty in securing enough workers. The draft has caught some, others have been sent abroad where they are building and operating rail roads. Soon the carriers will be calling back retired trainmen and not being too particular about their physical condition. Railroads are preparing to hire women for such work as they can do, taking the place of men. In the last world war women were cleaning the passenger cars in all terminal yards of the northwest. They are again to be used for this work. Havana, Cuba, May 23 UP) A mysterious broadcaster, who identified himself as the com mander of a German submarine lying only a mile and one-half off the Havana waterfront, promised the Cuban people last night they were in for "a sur prise," Havana newspapers re ported today. "This Is the second time we have visited Havana and very soon we will give you a sur prise," the broadcaster was quot ed as saying in perfect Spanish after giving his identity and the location of his vessel. "It isn't fair," he added, "that while the German people are suffering the consequences of the British blockade with the support of the United States. American girls should be enjoy ing themselves on the beaches. "Our submarine will take care of that." CALIFORNIA DIM OUT Los Angeles, May 23.
