Women Can Help If anyone doubted the seriousness of the harvest situation here in Oregon and along the coast, the recent appeal for the release of interned Japanese would remove it. The Japanese have never been popular in the far west, and certainly are less popular today than ever. But bankruptcy is not popular either! And when the truck gardeners and berry growers, are faced with disaster, UNLESS Japanese labor is available, they favor the latter. AT last report, however, the far western defense " command, will turn a deaf ear to this appeal. With the Japanese more strongly entrenched in the Aleutians, this is certainly no time to "take a chance." Harvest, or no harvest, purely material losses can be, and no doubt will be, made up by the govern ment But what a yellow 5th column might do to this section of the country, NEVER COULD BE! CO the western command is quite right Meanwhile there still remains a chance of prevent ing a major disaster entirely if we the people, ALL OF US, get busy at once and do our stuff. Here are some suggestions from the federal em ployment office director in 1. Dovetail seasonal work closely so that what little migratory labor is left can reach new harvests withou delay. 2. Use as many school children as possible. Some districts have scarcely scratched this source. 3. Appeal to women, including women who never worked before tell 'em there's a war on and a few callouses are patriotic. 4. Get the city folks on the farm on holidays and vacations. Whereupon the Mail Tribune repeats its recent anneal to the school children of Medford and South ern Oregon, to register at the employment office in the Hotel Holland building at once. And knowing how eaeer the women of Southern Oregon are to do everything they can in the motion. A vacation on some local lent idea, girls, and in these parlous times a few callouses on the. hands, of any able bodied woman WOULD be a very nice thing to see! A Serious Grave as the situation greater danger to the allied cause undoubtedly lies in the shipping status. Discounting the German and they should be discounted, the fact remains that allied convoy losses to Russia by the northern route have been enormous. And Russia must depend supplies from England and the United States to survive this 1942 attack. I ONDON admits an allied conference has been called to consider the situation, and devise ways and means to, in some way, neutralize the Nazi U-boat and air-bomber menace. We feel sure something of value WILL come out of this conference. England check-mated the in 1917. We see no reason this war. The air-bomber problem even Berlin admits the united nations have estab lished air control in Egypt If there, why not else where, certainly airplane production in the united nations today, materially exceeds that of the Axis. THERE are two serious obstacles from the allied of QTi1ri-i?f hnur.av.ai (1) German air and U within easy striking distance angel and Murmansk and, (2) The "white nights" Arctic circle, with their 24 giving the convoys no protection of darkness, and everywhere else in the world for the sea-defenders against air and submarine attack darkness is a GREAT protection. In this situation, as in so time, however, there is no ened. There is every cause, for the allies to get togeth er as never before, and utilizing every resource at their command strike back at the enemy with the maxi mum of ingenuity and might! Another "Second Front" We have no desire to ride an old horse to death i but, Only a few days ago a Chinese general on a special mission in Washington, appealed with tears in his voice, for another U. S. air attack on Japan. Here is the vital second is getting late! Don't concentrate on the strongest fes, concentrate on the weakest! And now Hugh S. Grant, former U.

Bevsrtt Mil, Colli. - A GOOD DASH A doctor enjoyed such a large practice that he was occasional. ly compelled to take a week or two off for vacation and rest - and he could afford to do so. In his absence anoth er doctor was summoned to attend one. of his pati e n t s. The pat i e n t had well ad vanced tuber culosis of the . lung, with cav ity, and no precautions as to disposal of sputum or preven tion of droplet or spray infection of members of the family had been given the patient. The doc tor was treating him for "bron chial trouble" only. But the doctor was conspicu ously successful. People flocked to him not only because he was a pleasant person to meet but also because he was so success ful, had such a large practice, nence must be a good doctor. The doctor divulged one of the secrets of his fine trade. He always kept on hand a large assortment of variously colored strychnine tablets or pills of various strengths, and gave nearly every patient who came to his office a little box of pills as a sort of premium along with whatever other medicine he thought the patient needed. He had found that the additional box of pills, which cost him per haps a cent or two, brought 25 cents extra, without protest about the bill. After ten ' or twelve years of practice the doctor retired, worth over $100,000 and he had not in herited $99,500 either. Shortly before he retired he had a case of placenta previa. Never mind Just what it means, but the patient had been suffer ing with hemorrhages for sev eral days. He called another doctor in consultation. When the other doctor arrived he found the patient obviously in a state of shock from hemorrhage and the family doctor feverishly turning the pages of a standard textbook of obstetrics to find what he ought to do. The con sultant diffidently suggested that immediate treatment seem ed necessary, volunteered to give the anesthetic. The doctor handled the delivery. Presently the anesthetist heard the doctor News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued From Pag. On.) out of 38 ships In one convoy.) In the Mediterranean, he has brought to bear only a few Italian submarines under Ger man officers, and a limited number of planes to attack Malta and British convoys to Egypt. Also the nazl submarine oper ations off our coast have been shown by events to be only a minor phase of Hitler's oper ations, despite our heavy losses, amounting to about 360 known and many more unknown ships. By these attacks in American waters. Hitler is only trying to get Britain and the United States to transfer more of their armed naval craft from the Russian convoy route to Mur mansk and thus make his at tacks there easier. ... UIS Russian tactics indicate nothlng as brilliant as the German army showed earlier in France and Poland. At Kursk, he struck at a shrewdly-chosen weak point between the central and the southern Russian .ra in, cutting the railroads con necting them, and thus prevent ing them from getting rein forcements back and forth This cut enabled him then to turn south against Marshal Ttmosh enko's army with the Immediate objective of destroying it and the ultimate objective of reach ing the Volga, whrre he could sever the indispenslble Russian oil supply route from the Cau casus or seize the fields himself. But It Is apparent from the way he Is working, his military limited to these points alone. His preparations behind the lines already show he is get ting ready to hit at Moscow again in the north, if these southern operations do not work out well. It is not correct to say that the war In Europe must be determined by the results of these operations within the next thirty days. Hitler Is taking his time. He can fight in the south until December 1. Thus, he has more thsn four months remaining In which to Brady M. D. Or STRYCHNINE explain to the patient's hus band: There, you see, that came first, but it should have come last" he ha" delivered the placenta and left the child to fend for itself. Just then the patient expired, and that- was the end of the incident. But he certainly was a suc cessful doctor, as success is popularly gauged. How many infants or young children in his families suc cumbed to strychnine poisoning is a matter for conjecture. Any thing containing any strychnine at all ought to be clearly and unmistakably labelled POISON with skull and cross-bones com plete.

Roosevelt is as annoyed as anyone at the inability of our coastal convoy and patrol system to cope fully with the nar.l sub menace off our shores. A congressman who had at tacked the "gold bar brigade" of the armed forces in a speech went in with fear and trembling next day before the president, but found him using language even more emphatic. Also the president congratulated a sen ator who has assumed a critical attitude toward the production phase of the war effort. Apparently Mr. Roosevelt Is not sensitive to any criticism de signed to arouse a greater war effort.

C, CAA Trainees Not For Army Government Must Bury Japanese Browder Plans Lecture Tour , Bt JohaW. Kelly. Washington, D. C. July 11 In Jimmy Doolittle's band of 70-odd heroes who blasted To kyo were three fliers from the University of Oregon who were graduates of the civil aeronau tics administration program for training civilian fliers. There may have been others with sim ilar training probably were for every college and university in the Pacific northwest has been turning out fliers. About 28,000 have gone into uniform and they' represent the major part of combat pilots. Now, how ever, the war department (not the navy) has changed its policy; declares it wants no part of the CAA outfit. This is something for the young men and women taking the courses in the north west schools to think over and figure where the policy leads. Less than four months ago tne war department issued a press release saying the fu'l facilities of CAA would be used and first priority given to stu dents meeting reqquirements of an aviator cadet. Less than 90 days ago the war department, in another release, outlined a plan to train 45.000 fliers for the army; 20,000 for combat service and 23,000 for auxiliary service. In May the department cut the schedule down to 13,330 for CAA and announced it would itself do all the training of combat pilots and after July 1 no CAA graduates would be eligible for combat service. . , ALTHOUGH CAA grads were good enough for bombing Japan and for fighting in the battle of Wake and the Coral sea (others are now in Alaska) the door to combat pilots is now closed against any CAA trainee from any school, university or college. Navy department, how ever, endorses CAA and says it receives better pilots and mote quickly than from those other wise selected. About 13 out of 100 entrants are rejected from other sources and less than a fraction of one percent from the CAA grads. Navy has "put in" for 20,000 fliers, with 18,350 for combat to be trained by CAA. Colleges, universities and commercial flying fields are utilized by CAA, but with the war department adopting a new policy July 1 a large part of available facilities have become dormant, a situation which has called for sharp comment on the floor of congress. Production of planes is running ahead of fliers. Instead of using the uni versities which have all neces sary equipment, war department prefers building its own schools, costing around $3,000,000 each. These army air schools require time to construct and use vital materials (lumber, concrete, steel, etc.), and while they are being built entrants the army intends training are loafing waiting for a chance to take up their studies. ... ARMY explanation is that the CAA students fuss around with low power planes, and army starts training with swift, heavy ships and teaches its men as much in six weeks as CAA does in 16 weeks. Army insures each student while learning to fly. Army wants its filers to be sol diers, not Just pilots, for it wants them trained in military formation and ceremonies. None of the 13.350 to be turned out by CAA for the army will ever be in combat, but will be used for the ferrying command, in structors, members of the glider corps or co-pilots in commercial air service (now under control of the war department). There is this chance of the war depart ment changing its mind again, and accepting CAA grads for combat service: The demand for pilots will be so pressing in 1943 that the department may not be so finicky. ... CONGRESS has annronrlated sufficient funds to bury about kju Japanese aliens who have TRY OUR HERBS Wben Others Fail For quick and permanent relief ol ailments even ol long standing. CHINA HERB CO. 233 E. Main St Medford moved from the coast Inland to new centers in the semi-arid lands of the far west. It is esti mated that 120 of these alien enemies will die each month, this being an average whether the aliens are in Idaho, Oregon, Washington or California. Cost of each funeral is placed at $75 and congress has voted $132,000. The appropriation, according to calculations, will be exhausted in October 1943, by which time the war will be over or congress will provide funds for continu ing the burials. ... THERE is a prospect that Earl Browder, No. 1 communist in the United States, will make a lecture tour of the northwest and throw in a few knocks against congress. Browder, re cently pardoned from prison where ha had been sent for vio lating the passport laws, has al ready started attacking congress and declaring that a new con gress, which will fully cooper ate with the president, should be elected in November. He is planning a nation-wide tour to deliver his message. Browder has testified that there are 4000 communists in Washington and Oregon and 6000 in California, these being party members and not counting the fellow-travelers. Communications 'Red Army Amastd The World" To the editor: 'The war could have been prevented," says Lt. Comdr. S. S. Seeley, (N.S.N. Ret.) if the truth about Russia had been generally known. Perhaps Hit ler is more the product of mis information about Russia than the treaty of Versailles. A reading pf Ambassador Davies "Mission to Moscow" makes Seely's observation not so extrr v agant. Davies has done the world a great service in publishing his "Mission," even belated as it is. The work is semi-official It con tains that which the administra tion wants the people to know in order., to better carry out the smashing processes against the "forces of evil." Davies had access to all his material sent in and Welles re lied upon his judgment "as to the proprieties." Much of this was confidential. When Hitler struck Russia Davies said that the RpH nrmv would amaze the world." This was contrary to the military ex perts," so the president had pointed out to his former amhas- sador.
