There Is now a shortage of
both hay-hands and defense Job
workers. As yet nobody has
told colonel to bring his can
tonment down to the city park,
for a decision on going to work.
The Klamath Falls News
Herald has a slogan: "Share the
rubber, and take a boy fishing."
This is a good idea. Besides the
boy will catch soma fish, and
show his bringing up, by di
viding.
It looks like the heat wave
has subsided, until the stores
start advertising the annual Au
gust blanket sales.

struggle in the Reynolds

chase Croy from the premises
was unloaded."

The metropolitan edit o r 1 a 1
writer, who recently bemoaned
the prevalence of milk and wa

the crop as the worst In history.
Is In error. The Republican

the honor. It was "Who But

Russia is now reported "at
the crossroads". This is where
most of the auto accidents hap
pen, and, in pre-war days, there
were always two service stations
across the mad from each other.

...
Comes word from overseas
of the execution by an Italian
force of 800 Croats and Slovene
peasant. This is regarded as
an "exaggeration" by "informed
circles". There were probably
one Croat and one Slovene, and
800 Italians, In accordance with

An anti-necktie campaign has
been launched In this state, to

The Axis Short-Wave
No one should miss the short-wave broadcasts from
Berlin, Tokio, and Rome these days and nights
it the family radio can catch them.
For they serve a very useful purpose provide
comic relief, and give some idea how the other half
lives, in these perilous times.
Moreover there is a rather surprising feature re
garding them. While ridiculous claims of victory are
made and childish efforts to prejudice American
public opinion against their own war government are
attempted,' the net result of the Axis hand-outs, is to
increase one's confidence in an ultimate allied vic
tory. .....
IT is difficult to explain. But there is an undercur
1 rent of fear and inferiority, running through all
the enemy broadcasts, only strengthened by the occa
sional bursts of bravado and bombast'
One gets the definite impression of no reserve
strength, no real confidence, no quiet consciousness
of power, or faith in the security of the future.
The Japanese broadcasts, from the standpoint of
effective propaganda, are the worst, ranging from the
childish to the tiresomely erudite, with that funereal
and uninspiring southern tune "Old Black Joe", as
the theme song and considering what has happened
to the Japanese fleet to date, a decidedly appropriate
one. The Germans are the best, with the Italians,
coming somewhere in between.
But all of them fail, as far as impairing war morale
in this country is concerned, or weakening the stead
ily growing conviction, that while world war No. 2
may be a long one, there is no doubt, whatever, of the
ultimate result.
It is hard, we repeat, to put the editorial finger
upon the exact reason for this. But we are quite sure
all Americans who have listened to these shortwave
reports from Axis sources for any length of time, will
agree, there is a subtle thread of gloom and hopeless
ness running through them all, even though factually
they may paint a glowing picture of allied disasters
and Axis triumphs.
lhere is an undeniable note of feverish whistling
in the dark to keep one's faltering courage up.
"THE German reports are the best because they are
not so obviously false, are well adjusted to appeal
to traditional American prejudices, particularly the
anti-British complex, and often have a sense of the
ironical even approaching at times, a sense of humor.
But when the Nazis try to drive a point home, they
are as much at sea as their less" astute compatriots.
.....
I AST night, for example, "Lord Hee-haw with his
best corn-belt accent, developed with great care
the thesis that since Soviet Russia has been unable to
defeat Germany how can the United States expect
to make any progress, for the U. S. A. has nothing
Russia hasn't
Well in the first place, of course, Russia's inability
to defeat Germany has not been definitely establish
ed. But assuming the Red army hasn't and can't do
this, compare the industrial capacity of this country
with the Russian Soviet!
There is no comparison ! Russia has done wonders
in this direction in ten or fifteen years, but is still a
couple of generations behind the United States.
In fact the United States outclasses the world.
What will happen therefore when the vastly superior
manpower of the United Nations is equipped with
the planes, tanks, guns and ships that this country
can, and is producing;
The Axis won t be fighting any medieval Kussia,
it will be fighting Russia, England and the United
States!
Women s Vote This Fall
A poll of 60,000 members of the League of Women
Voters regarding the personal qualities that should
be considered in the choice of candidates for the
new House Df Representatives .to be choson in Nov
ember reveals that three out of four placed political
integrity as the first requisite.
Other qualities in their order were determination
to subordinate party interest to national interest
independent judgment, political sagacity and a broad
background in civic affairs. As a sampling of the
. jlitical conceptions of the feminine mind in the
mass the results reflect great credit
In undertaking the poll, the League indicated its
alertness to the great importance of the 1942 Con
gressional elections.
THE League's activity in attempting to arouse the
political interest of women may be prompted also
by belief that the women's vote will count more this
year than ordinarily. There is justified reason for
this belief. Probably by November 4,000,000 men
will be under arms General Marshall, Army Chief
of Staff, places the figure at 4,500,000 by the end
of the year an 1 that will mean the disenfranchise
ment of an unaccountable number.
In many stateB the absentee voting laws will be
practically useless, particularly where men have been
shifted from one camp to another. And there are
three states that have no machinery at all for absen
tee voting.
It in not only men in the military service who will
be affected. There has been a great migration of
workers from s ates that have comparatively little
(.efense work to those that have much. The migra
tion is continuing and all those who have not been
long enough in their present employment to establish
a legal residence will lose their right to vote. Women
are involved in the migration, but not to the extent
men are.
These are the conditions that may make the wo
men's vote this year the decisive factor in the elec
tions in many btates R. S.

HALF A GAMMA IS BETTER THAN NONE
In our little set-to the other
day about vitamin units and
what they mean, remember, we
left the children playing with
half a gamma

Perhaps the

" I harm done.
this time.
Dr. Brady A micro
gram, gamma or one-millionth
of a gram of vitamin A isn't
much but It is equivalent to
nearly 2 International Units of
vitamin A. ' Nutrition authori
ties generally agree that every
body needs at least 4000 Inter
national Units of vitamin A
daily Just to maintain normal
health, whether the vitamin A Is
obtained from food or medicine.
After all, who cares about
these technical questions? That's
what I d assume offhand, too,
but we're wrong, as an Increas
ing flood of inquires about vit
amin units, gammas, micro
grams and things Indicates. The
formulas and figures readers
copy from the labels on their fa
vorite vitamin preparations, for
me to compare, analyze and rec
ommend for them, would give a
mortified public accountant a
headache but I never let fig
ures get me down, I can tell you.
I add em up or multiply em, as
the case may be, and if the re
sult I get doesn t meet all re
quirements, fell with it, I must
hurry over to a council of doc
tors on the bowling green. .
One international unit of vita
min B, (thiamin) Is equivalent to
3 micrograms, gammas or
millionths of a gram or thous
andths of a milligram, and nu
trition authorities agree that ev
erybody needs not less than 333
International Units or U. S. P.
XI units or 1000 micrograms or
owe milligram daily, from food
or medicine, merely to prevent
manifestations of deficiency
disease. Three or four times
that much that is 3000 to 4000
micrograms or 3 to 4 milligrams
of B, preferably in Its natural
combination with the other fac
tors of the B complex, is the op
timal daily ration, the amount
required to keep you In better
than average nutritional condi
tion, in prime functional health,
and to maintain the reserve
power which enables you to tide
over ordinary strains and emer
gencies. The daily minimum ration of
vitamin B, formerly known as
vitamin G but now chemically
isolated and identified as ribo
flavin, Is about 2000 micrograms
(or 2 milligrams), and the op
timal ration would be at least
three times as much. One Sher-man-Borquin
unit of riboflavin
Is approximately 3 to 9 mico-
grams.
One International unit of vit
amin C (also Isolated and Iden
tified, as cevitamic acid or as
corbic acid) is the amount con
tainer 0.1 gram (about 1V4
drops) of fresh lemon Juice. 0.05
miligram. The minimum daily
ration of vitamin C required to
! prevent actual manifestation of
sign or symptom of scurvy Is
probably 200 units for a baby.
soo to 600 units for an adult.

Rubbjr Source
Electric Lab
Sought For Dam
, By John W. Kelly
Washington, D. C. July 7
Control of the submarine men
ace in the gulf of Mexico has a
direct bearing on the new north
west industry, the aluminum
plants. The Nazi underwater
raiders are sinking so many
freighters carrying bauxite that
eventually, unless the Germans
are halted, it will result in a
reduction of aluminum Ingots In
Washington and Oregon and a
consequent slow-down of bomb
ers at Boeing. President Roose
velt says 4000 airplanes are be
ing produced a month (that was
the May output) and Heir Hitler
is anxious to Impede and des
troy the airplane program of
the United States In particular.
Oil tankers and bauxite mer
chant ships are the special prey
of the submarines in the gulf.
Less attention has been given
to the loss of cargo carriers
than to tankers by the public
owing to the shortage of oil and
gasoline, but the effect is more
important upon the national
economy.
Bauxite comes from Dutch
Guiana, In the northern part of
South America. Steamers travel
many miles up a river and are
loaded from an open mine. Des
tination of the bauxite is Mo
bile, where it is made into
aluminum and then shipped to
the ingot plants on Columbia
river, where the powdery ma
terial is reduced to ingots with
power from Bonneville and
Grand Coulee. Enroute from
Dutch Guiana to Mobile the
bauxite ships run the risk of
being torpedoed by the Nazi and
the latter have exacted a heavy
toll. Thousands of tons of the
valuable clay essential to the
manufacture of bombers have
been sent to the bottom of the
golf. There is a detachment of
troops at Dutch Guiana, but
they are no protection against
the submarines.
It has been proposed that
freighters with bauxite, say a
half dozen ships, be given a con
voy escort by the navy as a safe
guard. For some reason the
navy has failed to respond, per
haps because naval vessels are
not available. Meanwhile the
Nazi continue selecting as tar
gets tha boat with baxita. The
Hitler policy is to stop Amer
ican production and if enough
cargoes of bauxite are sent to
the bottom it will curtail pro
duction. Herr Hitler's concern
over aluminum was disclosed
when FBI apprehended eight
agents sent to the United States
to blow up the leading alum
inum plants in the east and at
TVA.
All of the alumina converted
Into ingots in the Pacific
northwest whether by private
companies or government-financed,
has its source in Dutch
Guiana, where It Is mined as
bauxite. There is a bauxite de
posit in Arkansas but none of
that is used by the industry In
Oregon and Washington. Con
tainuance of the industry de
pends in large measure upon
clearing the gulf of enemy
submarines.
...
YAKIMA Indians, according
to old-timers, have the secret of
manufacturing rubber out of
sagebrush. The Informant sug
gests that the rubber division
employ members of the Yakima
tribe to produce the stuff. Ac
cording to the story as received
by congressman, the Yakimas
boil the substance and thus cap
ture the rubber content. Ten
pounds of rubber can be ob
tained from 20 pounds of sage
brush (a terrifically high con
tent) at a cost of 10 cents a
gallon. The western wanderer
who told the story says the
Yakimas years ago made him
tires out of the sagebrush rub
ber and they were so good that
they served him for eight years.
There is still an abundance of
sage brush for the Indians to,
work on.
...
IF Leon Henderson's plans go
through he will have 2700 law
yers on his OPA staff. Last
year It was estimated that all
government departments had a
total of 500 lawyers (very few
from the northwest; most from
Harvard). Henderson planned
four lawyers in the field 'the 48
states) to one In the national
capital. This is one of many
reasons why OPA appropriation
was slashed. War production
board, on the other hand, pro
poses 18,672 in the national cap
ital and 5000 appointees in the
field. To keep the press
in line and prevent military in
formation leaking out, the board
of censors has proposed 17.HS0,
of these 1650 being in army or
navy. There is promised to be a
house-cleaning of young officers
sitting In as censors and sending
them to combat service.
...
ALTHOUGH an electrical lab
oratory was originally advo
cated for the northwest to pass
the bill no region was mention
ed. Now the $500,000 is asked
for by Boulder Dam, which has
entered the lists to capture tha
undertaking from the power
blessed Pacific northwest. Still
to be settled as to location is an
aluminum plant to make rods
and wire, a dlffent type from
the rolling mill which were
moved from Fairview to Spo
kane on supposedly army order
on the ground that Fairview
would be exposed to Japanese
bombing, which is also in the
target area, with no army objection.
