The way things are going, it will be Just twice as hard to catch one of them at home. , A plan Is now afoot to pro vide "selective Immigration" be fore the after the war rush from Europe starts. It' about time. The basic urge In every Europeans bosom Is to get here and make money no mat ter how, but make It as any one who was abroad in 1917-18 well knows. The arrivals should possess some qualifications other than the ability to whistle "God Eave America" and look sad. REASON ENOUGH (Colfax (Calif.) Record "A draft board reports get ting this note: 'Please take my husband Into service. He wants to fight all the time, and I'm not able to.' " ... Few farmers took advantage of the clouds yes. and prayed for rain, with a good chance of getting it The lack of "fighting music" In this war is deplored by the upstate press. So far, the music has been such, the listener wants to fight the musicians instead of the Axis. The British are as diffident about opening a Second Front in Europe as an old fashioned high school girl. London con cedes today the Germans are re moving divisions from France to Russia, "but the Nazi strength is not reduced." Subtraction is one less In any man's language, and what the Nazis ship to the Eastern front la that much less in France. It's been about a month since headlines blared: "Britain Sees Invasion Threat" ... IT ALWAYS WORKS ' (Salem Statesman) The cimcumslance that al lotments to service men's wives and dependents will be paid the day before the No vember election is a startling example of coincidence but not exactly r.ovel. Seems as though a peacetime version of the same thing has happened once or twice in the last eight years." ... An Idaho candidate for con gress has suffered a calamity. He cut his hand on a farmer's barbed wire fence and will be unable to shake hands for two days. It will also weaken his hold on the presidential coat tails. A rumor, spiked here many times a year ago. has shown up In the Corvallis area, unspiked. ... Argentine, one of the "good neighbors," is maintaining its "neutrality" by accepting an apology and cash from Germany for U-boat sinkings of ships It's a case of Uncle Sam being a guardian angel when loaning money and a crook when seek ing cooperation. . ' PASS THE VINCGARI "Moberly, Mo. ? A 32-mlle round trip for sugar? And how much home canning did they do last year? The problems wrre too much for Myra Riherd, 71. and her 82-year-old brother. Wrote Sister Myra to the ra tlor.ing board: 'We have no car, no 'hoss and buggy.' My brother says, 'Dammit, I quit whisky, I quit smoking and I can quit sugar! 'P.S. I couldn t ans wer all the silly questions about how much I canned last year. All I know it It's all 'et up.' So probably It's Just as well not to register.'" (Press Dispatch). Nazi Mendacity The unreliability of the German war reports is attain demonstrated by the Ten days ago the German the capture of this strategic point. The Russians denied it The Germans repudiated the denial and again stated that in spite of it, the German army WAS in possession of this place and had been for several days. DUT now Berlin admits, not only that Voronezh has NOT been captured, but the Russians are on the offensive in that sector and the fighting has reached terrific proportions. This is nothing new. But clear, that while the allies and sometimes even deny what is true for strategic reasons, they do not indulge deliberately in fiction, as does the Axis. Moreover as long as the onezh, the German forces advancing south of it, are in danger of being outflanked. The situation in Russia remains serious, but as long as Voronezh holds out, it isn't hopeless. Why Fool With Vichy? Vichv protests the sending of U. S. military experts to confer with General De Why not? The United States government still recognizes the Vichy government as the France. De Gaulle is a deserter government Why shouldn t Messrs. t,avai, Damn ana reiam enter a vigorous protest, and call attention to the 'inadmissibility" of the United States, trying to main tain normal and friendly relations with the French government, and ALSO with rebels fighting to ovei throw that government. It just doesn t make sense. And we feel the time has come for this government to recognize the fact. POR why keep up such a transparent farce? r The French government at Vichy has been work ing hand and glove with Germany ever since Laval was reinstated. In fact only a few weeks ago Laval publicly stated he hoped Germany would win. Then what are we, the people of the United States, in a war to the death with Germany, waiting for? What possible good can come to this country, or to the allied cause, by continuing this pretense of friendliness and amity toward the Vichy government when none exists? And only a few weeks ago the Roosevelt adminis tration sent another shipment of food and supplies to the Vichy government via its French colonies! This to the government whose active head admits he wants Germany to win. and needless to sav. is doine- everything in his power to see that Germany DOES. TOO late and too little" is too tragic an epitaph t rt f Vl ex fraa rf f Vi A -latMAltmTl'n as-iucta n av(ah1 it to the efforts of General De Gaulle and the Free French. The time has come as we see it, to break relations with Vichy and have the honesty and the courage to face the FACTS of this relationship as they exist. "To bToTNoTTo Be?" Commando raids on the trench coast are one thing. An all-out invasion effort, quite another. The commando raid is a "hit-and-run" sortie, with the element of surprise a vital factor. There could be no surprise in an invasion effort, particularly after all these months of alarums and rumors, and the necessary magnitude of such a project IT is one thing for a "corporal's guard" to creep over some dark night, decapitate a few sentries and blow up a munition dump or a U-boat dock and then depart; and quite another to land a mechanized army which, must not only crush first line resistance, but establish permanent bridge heads, maintain commu nications, not temporarily but permanently, and then ADVANCE I Yes, one doesn't need to be a high-ranking member of the geceral staff, to appreciate the terrific risks and dangers of doing what certainly needs to be done, and at once: Take the pressure off from the Red army, by an all-out attack on Germany from the west And there is another angle. While the desirability of such action is unques tioned, if it SHOULD fail, the situation would then be far more serious than if it had never been attempted. In fact in such an event, only a miracle could save Britain from destruction. a a a a CO we don't envy the allied command which un doubtedly is considering the matter of an invasion attempt SERIOUSLY, as the one hope of keeping Hitler away from the liquid gold of the Caucasus. It is certainly a case of being between the devil and the deep-blue sea, damned if you do and fail; damned if you don't, and the Russians do. The decision may well determine the result of the 1942 campaign and might even decide the result of the Second World War.

HEALTH DEPENDS When I was a sophomore med ical student my father, who had no medical knowledge but was an omnivorous reader, used to debate with me on the pri mary or essen tial cause of disease. He had, a theory of ' his own about it, which of course was absurd to my mind then. He maint a 1 n e d Dr. Brady that "all dis ease begins in the stomach" When I undertook to point out the inadequacy of the theory by citing typhoid fever which be gins in the Intestine, father would pause only briefly in his discussion of pathology to ask how the typhoid bacilli got into the intestine if not from failure of the gastric juice to destroy them and go on from there while I remained baffled and silent. At times I wondered whether medical science was wrong about it after all, so often did father draw me on until I was practically supporting his contention I, a sophomore mea fcal student, remember. If father were here today I wouldn't consider his theory that "all disease begins in the stomach" so absurd as I did then. In the light of our newer knowledge of nutrition the theo ry requires only a little editing to make it presentable now change the "all" to much and the "stomach" to mouth much disease begins in the mouth and you have in a few words the gist of many volumes of modern scientific literature. Shakespeare was as warm as father when he put the famous toast in the mouth of Macbeth "Now, good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both!' Health does depend on good di gestion, and good digestion de pends on something more than appetite. It depends on mastica tion, and mastication of course requires functionally efficient teeth, either your own or your dentist's, and on the sort of food you masticate. Nearly four fifths of the calo ries, the energy. In the daily diet normally comes from carbohy drate material (starches and sugars, in vegetables, cereals, fruits, nuts) and nearly half of the starch in such foods should be digested by the action of the ptyalin (digestive enzyme or fer ment In the saliva) while the food is being masticated and for a good half hour after it has News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued Prom Pag One) the river, and their inability to get back and forth across it. There are few bridges In that region, and the German attack swept down both banks of the river. In one big bend a very large Russian force was en trapped. It was clear, also, that if his attack onward from Voronezh could reach the little railroad town of Povorlno. It would pre sent a much more serious threat to Timoshenko, for there his supply route running around through Stalingrad could be cut. Furthermore, if the Nazi thrust down the Don reached Stalingrad before It spent itself, the vital Volga oil and supply route would be gone and noth ing would be left except the Astrakhan route. Even so, all would not necessarily be lost. While the southern army would then be completely cut off. Russian fighting ability in such circumstances is widely re spected. A counter-attack by the south ern and central armies straight across Hitler's salient to Join them again and leave his ad. vance forces surrounded, would still be a possibility. . . . TTK) win In Russia, Hitler must crush the Russian armies completely and cause them to sue for an armistice. As was proved, to the surprise of the world, last year, advances in this salients and captures of strategic towns do not necessar ily bring decisive results. The fighting is not over, even when the objectives are reached. No one knows or will even attempt to guess when the pow er of the German attack will diminish, whether at Lisichansk or Kantrmirovka (two points at which it was headed down the rsilroads at this writing), or whether it will be able to go in to Sn!ir;crad. It must stop soma day and 71 Brady. M. O. ON ORAL DIGESTION been swallowed. So it should be clear that when mastication is crippled by loss of teeth or by untreated decay or disease of teeth or gums, mouth or oral digestion is deficient and a good deal of undigested starch is passed along to the stomach and finds its way to the duodenum. where an excessive burden is imposed on the pancreatic Juice to digest it. Stomach and duode nal or intestinal digestive func tions "are bound to be impaired by the handicap and general nutrition inevitably declines.

Beverly Hills, Calif. when that day comes, better news from that front may start. Little satisfaction can be de rived from going on beyond these immediate Nazi objectives to consider what will happen if they all go and Hitler starts the last lap of his drive for the real economic prize of this campaign, j which Is the Caucasus oil. A supplemental attack from Taganrog on Rostov has been momentarily expected. This Is the shortest route to that goal. He will not hit oil until he gets to Krasnodar (it yields about S00.000 tons of oil a year) and Grozny. To reach these points he will have to cross wide prairies cut by sharp depressions and gullies, admirably suited for Russian defense. The Russians well knew of Hitler's objectives last year, In time to accumulate huge oil store to support their armies for an Indefinite period In the north. Thus, while the latest develop ments are grave, they have been subjected to over-exaggerated Interpretations. REGISTER AT OSC Oregon State College, Cor vallis. July 16.

D. C Icket Recognizes Bad Advice Churchill May . Find Opposition Cover Crop Seed Price Increased By John W. Kelly Washington, D. C. July 16 It has dawned upon Harold Le Clair Ikes, secretary of the In terior, that he has been receiv ing some bad advice on proposed legislation (particularly the Bone-Smith Columbia power authority bill) and he would like a new. deal in his own little group of so-called power law yers. The group of young law yers, led by Abe Fortas, who mainly wrote the CPA measure assured the secretary that the bill .would go through congress with' a whoop and in almost nothing flat the CPA would be acquiring private utilities in Washington. Oregon, Idaho and elsewhere in the region with revenue bonds. The secretary now realizes that he placed too much confidence' in his power group. Appointment and confirmation of Abe Fortas as under-secretary of the interior gives Ickes an excuse to look for and select a new keyman in his power policy set-up. Mr. Fortas has been the guiding genius in trying to trim the private companies and es tablish government control of all power in the Pacific northwest and adjoining states. Mr. Fortas has, in a manner of speech, been kicked upstairs and in his new Job is supposed to be too busy with other matters to major in power as he has been doing since he left the position of general counsel of the bituminous coal bureau, also under the wing of Secretary Ickes. The small group of lawyers advised Ickes that "the people" of the northwest were crying for the CPA bill; that only the private companies were object ing to it; that the hearings of the Joint congressional committee would be followed by enact ment of the bill sometime in July. A warning from a friend of the secretary on "the hill" that these young lawyers were balling things up was taken with a grain of salt. Now Secre tary Ickes has learned that his advisers did not know what they were talking about; that he and the bill are being denounced by editors, city councils, civic groups throughout Washington and Oregon; that "the people" are either opposed to the bill in whole or in part; that there isn't a Chinaman's chance of the Bone-Smith bill ever being spread upon the statute books: and, finally, that his friend "on the hill" knew all the answers and had forecast the mess the young lawyers were fixing for their boss. ... WHAT Secretary Ickes now desires is someone who can look at the power of tht northwest objectively keep his feet on the ground and work out a policy that will be reasonably satisfac tory to everyone concerned: the PUDs, the government owner ship group, the private utilities and the consumers who are most vita'ly concerned. And Secretary Ickes is not interested in finding a lawyer to take the place of Fortas; there are too many young lawyers already trying to tell him what to do on the power question Nor does he want anyone who has been con nected with a private utility. ... WINSTON Churchill, who has had everything his own way In the United States to date (he reported to commons that his greatest achievement was In get ting the United States into the war. for which he had planned and worked), may not suceed In placing American troops under a British commander. If Amer ican military experts are con sulted they will veto such a plan and will propose that wherever American troops are used it will be in some section or part of the world where they will, fight under their own officers and not be mingled with Britain or other United Nations forces British of ficers, it is contended, are drawn from the aristocracy (the old school tie) and do not mingle with the troops as is the custom of American officers; nor do the latter insist on sleeping in pyja mas, having their tea and plenty of sleep. Incidentally, four Ore gon boys and three from Wash ington are in the ordnance de partment servicing General Grant tanks in the desert war fare; all former garage mech anics. - . . TRIPLE A has finally announ ced prices for cover crop seeds grown in the northwest and what dealers will be paid for handling them. Growers will re ceive a substantial increase. This year 20 cents a pound will be paid growers for hairy vetch and crimson clover; last year it was 7.25 cents. . For common vetch, Austrian winter peas and ryegrass the price to growers is now 5 cents; last year 3 cents a pound. For Willamette valley vetch the new price to grower is 6.S cents; was 5 cents last year. The handling charge al lowed dealers Is 40 cents per 100 pounds, with 45 cents for hairy vetch and clover. Adjustment of prices will shortly be announced to give relief to canners, retailers, and wholesalers of Jelly, preserves and Jams. Prices will be upped ana the consumers will pay what is estimated as the actual increased costs to producers. Ceiling prices on frozen vege tables and fruit will also be lift ed, otherwise tons of these foods would be left to waste on the ground.
