Editorial Correspondence
Washington, D. 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.

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

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

that his organization is trying to

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
