C, June 1 Uncle Sam is taking his coat off and rolling up his sleeves. That expresses the essential change In the national capital sine our last visit three months ago. . . Then (in February) Uncle Sam was tied to the bed, with a buzz-saw advancing in one direction and a forest fire In the other. He was struggling to free himself, and he succeeded, but for a long period it was obvious that was all he COULD do. Any success in throwing the buzz-saw off the track or putting out the fire was Impossible, the situation therefore was one of tragic futility and frustration as far as any EFFECTIVE war effort was con cerned. Now all tlut Is changed. Uncle Sam isn't out of the flaming woods by any means, the buzz-saw is still here and may be for many months, but at least he is free he Isn't tied down by lack of preparedness and over whelming confusion. He may not be able In the next six months to do all that he would like to do, or even all that the "high command" expects. but at least his CRIPPLED, Impotent days are over. Some order at last Is emerging from chaos, the old man with the chin whiskers may not be knocking out base hits at every swing, but at least he isn't constantly fanning the air. Uncle Sam after six months frenzied effort, has at last reached the fit fighting stage. Just where and what he will hit first is not known, but it IS known (by those here in Washington at least), that at last he is stripped for action. All of which for this peace loving and unprepared democracy represents a tremendous achievement. In such a comparatively brief time. e e . We missed, what strikes us as one of the most extraordinary incidents of the war thus far, by our brief sojourn in Richmond. We refer to Attorney General Biddle'i pronouncement that Brother Bridges Is a communist; a communist Is one who is pledged to violent overthrow of this government, and therefore Brother must be deported! We still can't believe it has really happened. And we have yet to find anyone In Washington who can satisfactorily explain it. Why or how the newspapers have taken the sensation so calmly, It beyond us. In our Judgment history will rank this unexpected ruling by tho legal department of the Roosevelt administration along with the Trent affair during the war of the rebellion, more than that it Is conceivable the Biddle ruling might do far more harm to the allied cause than the Trent affair did to the Union cause, for it might, we said MIGHT, result in Stalin making another peace compact with Hitler. Probably not. But stranger things have happened since that first German march Into the Rhineland. This is certain. Stalin is extremely cynical where the two English-speaking powers are concerned, the U.S.A. and England. He has no illusions regarding the real sentiments of the Anglo American ruling classes toward the communistic Slav. According to the grape-vine repeatedly complained regarding the paltry aid being given him by the United States, and has lent an ear to the Berlin broadcast that Johnny Bull and Uncle Sam are both willing to fight to the last Russian Muzhik. With a situation like this existing, the Russians fighting and dying again for the allied cause against terrific Nazi onslaughts. Imagine the reaction In the Kremlin when the phone from the U.S.A. declared the legal department of the Roosevelt adminis tration had condemned Russia as a traitor to law and order; a termite boring from within to bring about America's downfall. and any U. S. alien a member of the Russian government's party must be deported to other lands, like a murderer or a leper! Our chief ally! We walked past the Soviet embassy this evening, as usual on the way down town. As we passed a Western Union messenger rode up on his bicycle and dismounted, while a flunkey with shaven head and hard, Impassive features opened the heavy iron grilled door and took the envelopes offered. The tableaux was a brief one and our imagination may have been working a trifle overtime, but It seemed to us, that there was a decided tension and hostility between the two underlings, the Western Union boy was glad to get away and the grim-visaged flunkey would have liked to have planted a boot In the rear to hasten his departure. Two gardeners who looked like Russians but may have been Washingtonians eyed the ceremony, and gave the Impression they would have liked to have known the contents of the messenger's offering. We have passed the embassy 20 or 30 times since we arrived end have yet to see anyone In the yard, at the door, or through a window, wearing anything that might be mistaken for a smile. There Is no doubt (In our mind at least) that Attorney General Blddle't ruling was "entirely proper from the legal standpoint, the standpoint of the law and the facts. The law demands the deportation of any alien affiliated the overthrow of the existing government, the Communist party Is such a party, and there is no reasonable doubt that at some time, if not now, Harry Bridges was a bona fide member of this party. But why take such drastic action at this particular time, with the supreme test coming almost any day, on the eastern front7 Tnere was certainly no compulsion at this time, or will there be before the end of the war. With everything from soup to nuts subordinated to victory, why shouldn't the department of Justice proceed along the same lines? And is it conceivable that such action could have been taken by the Attorney General without securing the consent of the President in advance? Many stiange things have happened In this third administra tion of the New Deal but we maintain nothing as strange. as completely Inexplicable and mystifying from every point of view as this! It li starting to steam up, boys and girls, and we are glad the sailing date Is near, summer east of the Mississippi is bad enough ANYWHERE Louth of the Canadian line; BUT it is our considered Judgment, thut nothing climatically is quite so bad, as summer in Washington, D. C. It gets hot other places, but none where there is such terrific humidity and for every hour of the day and night so LITTLE relief. Small wonder the mortality In the congress, surpasses anything in similar age bracke ts In the United States. R.W.R. Kelly's Comment From Washington, D.

Here it a who hat a spaniel that serves as her hearing ear. "I have only one good ear. but when I'm in a crowded noisy public place I teem to hear much bet Dr. Brady ter. In fact at times my husband Is astonished when I tell him about the con. versation I have overheard in a crowded streetcar or bus, where ha, with two good ears. can hear little or nothing of what passengers across the aisle or several seats away are quiet ly saying to each other. In a quiet room, however. I must strain to hear anything and many times I fall to hear sounds I should hear. I have a little black cocker spaniel and he hears for me. He is my com panion at all times. Whenever there is a knock at the door or a strange footstep on the stairs or a ring of the door bell he lets me know in a hurry. Yet friends sometimes ask why I bother keeping a dog anyway. They Just do not understand the friendship and care that little animal gives to one who appre ciates it. (Mrs. A.)" Deafness due to otosclerosis or other trouble in the middle ear cavity (such as the common so-called "catarrhal" deafness) is sometimes characterized by abil ity to hear better in a noisy place, as in riding on a train or in working in a place where there Is a constant clatter or noise of machinery. Explana tion for this odd phennomenon is that the more extensive vibra tions caused by loud noise loos en the Joints between the ossi cles, (those little bones in the ear that transmit vibrations from the ear-drum to the inner ear remember them? hammer, anvil and stirrup) which are ab normally stiff in the condition known as ostosclerosis. But we'll discuss otosclerosis anoth er day. This is a reminder that a dog may serve as a hearing sound with the Oregon logger paying the freight. Charge is made that this Is, in effect, what is being done with plywood. Another protest: With a ceil ing of $24 per 1,000 feet on rail road tics, a mill can cut the same log into timber and receive $30.S0 per 1,000 feet. As a con sequence no mill can afford to cut railroad ties. Assertion is made that three big sawmill companies in Wash ington invade the Oregon mar ket, offer prices above the mar ket and get the spruce logs un less Oregon operators meet the upped price, which they can rarely do as they are not as heavily financed as the big Washington three. To meet these plain!" Mr. Henderson replies that his organization is trying to prepare prices which will be equitable to all districts. e VANCOUVER is to have about 40 new ships to build in addition to present contracts; around SO more will be built in the Portland district. Each boat will cost $700,000, or $28,000. 000 of business for Vancouver and $33,000,000 for the Portland district. These will be cargo- ships; they will be smaller than boats now on the ways and fast er, much faster. It is said they will have a speed of 17 knots, whereas the boats now building are rated at 10. Contracts are currently being made for en gines for these smaller freight ers. Maritime commission, to ex pedite its bridge of ships, pro poses a large fleet of the smaller boats-whlch will not carry such a large cargo but will be faster and not require as much steel plate. On Puget sound and Colum bia river will be a program of wooden ships for coastwise serv-j ice. The navy, too, is going In heavily for small wooden ves sels, but no official announce-1 men! has yet been made.

These airships are to be built in the midwest, but the plywood Is coming from mills in Oregon and Washington. It has' required more than two years of plugging by senators and repre- j sentatlves from those states to induce the navy and maritime commission to "see" wooden vessels and airplanes for the war department. : ... OPEN charge has been made by Senator Holman of Oregon that power utilization in the Pa-1 cific northwest has been handi-: capped by the old national de-' fense advisory council, the of-' (ice of production management and the present war production I board, the allegation being that' these agencies have hampered war utilization of the vast fed-1 erally owned power plants on the Columbia (Bonneville and Grand Coulee) as well as upset ting the future economy of that region. The senator informed the senate appropriations com mittee that these agencies said they did not need Columbia river power, as all the light metal required (600,000 pounds of aluminum) for the war effort could be produced at TV A. The senator also called atten tion to the policy of moving new industries behind the Cascades to save them from supposed air attack, and he declared that the Shasta dam now being built and the San Francisco war industries the dam is to serve, are not as far inland as the deadline drawn by the war department. View taken now by WPB's power division is that there is no power left in the Grand Coulee-Bonneviile dams; that it is all contracted for. J. A. Krug. formerly with TVA and now power advisor for WPB, says that every kilowatt in the north west will be taken by next De cember. He says that steel mills, rolling mills, fabricating plants shipyards and airplane factories will absorb it all a statement SINCE it 1878 mi m M.'Vi!"'.; Axe which hat been challenged and taken up by northwest senators with David Nelson, WPB boss. ... WASHINGTON and Oregon have been allocated 300 tons of nails for storage bins on farms and flax processing plants. With relinquishment of the nails came warning that if they are to be used on a structure costing more than $3,000 it will be necessary to obtain a special permit. 1$.
