They will have to talk meaner than that if a Second Front ever gets started In Europe. From the way many commen tators write anent tha Washing ton, D. C, situation, the pro posed adjournment of politics for the war effort has turned out to be the adjournment of the war effort for politics, up to and including the November elec tion.

They came on a warlike mission, on a submarine, and knew the penalty, if caught.

COLD WATER ON ROMANCE To the Editor: In the matter of Comin' Through the Rye.' I rise to Inquire of the editor whether or not he has ever known a farmer of any nation ality, least of all a canny Scot, who would permit an amorous swain to ramble through a field of rye after a fair maid (who also would not be allowed there) for the purpose of kiss ing her? It is my firm belief that the field of rye Is definitely out. (F. W. Stone ) (Ore gonlan.) Vm Mali Tribune vial adj. Kaisers Air Ships Etc., Etc. To the editor: I appreciate the fact you do not pose as a military expert, and what you say about the war therefore should not be taken too seriously, to I hope you won't mind if I differ with some of your recent Judgments. First regarding this man Kaiser's flying ships, with the increased effectiveness of anti-aircraft guns wouldn't these huge contraptions be easy marks for the Axis? And half a dozen of these air liners brought down, might put a serious dent in U. S. supplies to Europe. Better a fleet of small fast ships and transports. Instead of 200-ton air transports taking less fighter protection they would take more. I think you will find this man Kaiser is like his namesake, better on pub liclty than deliverying the goods. Nor do I agree with you on Stalin, if ever there was a sly crook there is one: ok to let him fight for us, but we would be saps to depend upon this oriental yegg in a pinch. However I agree with you on Knox and navy publicity. I have a friend in Nome, Alaska and he writes me the navy hasn't told the facts at any time since Pearl Harbor and everyone up there knows It they repeat enemy casualties two and three times, and hold back their own. You can print this if you want to but -, ,v nam. W.T.W.. Gold Hill (name on file) Our correspondent is correct in only one particu lar, the military opinions expressed in this depart ment ARE from a layman's standpoint, and should therefore not be taken TUU seriously particularly by those who seek something authoritative. However nn nnoarinna of hrnarl riolicv. as oDDosed to technical matters, lay opinions are of value regarding any mili tary or naval problem, and oureditorial views regard ing the war, have been largely conuneu, iu uic . , v . , A! 1 .1 erai, non-iecnmcai neiu. AS to the air-liners proposed by Shipbuilder Kaiser, W T W fioemn in have, overlooked an irrmortarit point TheaB mV lfners would hostile anti-aircraft range, for they are not attacking craft but transporting craft. They could fly to Britain, for evnmnle. in the stratosphere, and not come within gun range of the enemy been reached, ana mere aircraft fire. 17E have never suggested Secretary Knox or the " U. S. navy department officials have been delib erately misrepresenting enemy casualties or with holding their own. Nor do we believe this has been done. We do believe facts have been withheld, unreason ably and rather stupidly, and feel strongly the depart ment has the wrong slant on American war psychol ogy and has had from the start. The American people don't need to be coddled. Information that might be of value to the enemy must be withheld. But all other information should not only be given to the PUBLIC, but given out when it is news, not when it is ancient history. And it should not be collected and used merely as an anti dote for bad news. The intelligence and publicity department of the navy, not the fighting arm needs an overhauling. Byrd of Prophecy? Senator Byrd of Virginia, has given the adminis tration more good advice, and had less of it followed than any member of the Upper House. We shall in fact not be greatly surprised if the junior Senator from the great state of Virginia, be comes the hero of the post-war period; hailed as the man who first pointed out the rocks ahead, and whose single-handed efforts averted a major catastrophe, though they could not, prevent a minor one. Here, for example, is an extract from Senator Byrd's speech of July 17th regarding the dangers of inflation which we believe might well be clipped out and put in the World War No. 2 scrapbook for future reference : "It Is very evident that our fight against Inflation has reached a very critical stage. "In his testimony yesterday before a House committee, Mr. Henderson admitted that the price control program Instituted to prevent Inflation is in danger of breaking down. Already price Increases have begun and this will very soon be reflected in the retail prices of many commo dities essential to our existence. "Once the virlous spiral of inflation Is well started, it Is extremely difficult if not Impossible, to control. Courage ous and effective action to control inflation cannot Vie longer delayed without bringing disaster to the country. Short of defeat in war, there is nothing more harmful to the institutions of government of a free country than an uncontrolled inflation. "The reasons for this Imminent collapse of the control of Inflation are very obvious. Neither the administration nor the Congress has been willing to meet squarely the problem of inflation and to adopt the necessary restrictive measures to prevent it. "The price control bill did not provide for stabilization of wages and, as wages are the first and greatest cost in the production of goods, it is perfectly plain that no price control can be effective which eliminates the largest single item of cost. "If we are to avoid the great evils of Inflation, we must realize before the inflationary movement which has now started gains greater momentum that one of the main dependencies In the effective prevention of inflation is an all-out control, Including every single element of cost, both of labor, agricultural products, and all other elements entering Into the cost of the finished article offered for sale. Quirk, decisive, and courageous action is imperative if the situation is to be saved." He Is 100 Right Wavne Morse. Dean of the Oregon Law School and "public" member of the War Labor Board has often been lambasted by conservatives in this state, as a "radical". In only one sense is he (or has he ever been) a radical. That is in the sense of hewing to the line of a labor square-deal letting the chips fall where they may. Here is Dean Morse's view of strikes, particularly the jurisdictional strike in war time, a view which we venture say, meets with the hearty approval of 09 of the American people: "As we go further and further Into this war it becomes clearer and clearer that we cannot permit anv stoppages of work. I don't care whether they are over Jurisdictional disputes or what they are over: thev simpiv hae to stop "And If our pleas to Mr. Green and Mr.' Murray (presi dents William Green of the AFL and Philip Murra'v of the CIO) are not sufficient to get them to settle their disputes, I haven t any doubt but that the public will not onlv look to this board to settle them but U1 back us up iu whatever settlement! e decree." not have to come within until friendly England had wouia 01 course De no anti Personal Health Service By Wlllam Brady, M.

The expression was used by my high school speech Instruc tor. He ac- c r e d 1 ted the name and the technique to famous opera stars who, I am sure, ante date you. If Or. Brady my speech teacher himself does not. (Signed K. A. L.) To the best of my knowledge I have not claimed that I orig inated either the term or the technique or method of belly breathing. I have merely ham mered away, at the absurdity and squeamishness of the use of the term abdomen, which means the great body cavity. when It Is obvious that the speaker or writer mean belly the front wall of the abdomen. A public school music super visor, describing his experience in teaching pupils how to breathe, made an Interesting ob servation here the other day. Apparently children acquire the artificial chest breathing habit before the fourth grade, he said. Therefore he didn't think music teachers or physical education instructors could be responsible. especially as he knows many members of his profession who do teach correct breathing. May be the primary room teachers. with the best of intentions, start the children off wrong. He didn't know. If not, then he guessed "natural" breathing does not come natural to a child but must be taught Observe the breathing of any one, child or adult, Ins.ructed or uninstmctod, and you 11 see that he or she breathes naturally, correctly, with the belly, not with the chest, when asleep. If fourth grade school chil dren do not breathe naturally when attention Is called to breathing. It is most likely be cause they have acquired wrong ideas about, breathing though not necessarily from room teach ers or music teachers or physi cal education teachers. . But who am I to define what natural breathing Is? Who, In deed, asks a lady.

Farm ers are bearing down harder than usual. No tax sales are re ported in their communities. Other citizens, they say, are la boring so long and hard they take little time out for politics, except to drop an Idle cuss word now and then at Washington. Four states in the south have now held primaries, Florida. Alabama, Oklahoma and North Carolina, and only two congress men failed. Pro-Roosevelt Luther Patrick from Alabama lost be cause he made some facetious speeches which were not Inter preted in the humorous way they were intended (say his friends) and Wilburn Cartwrlght lost in Oklahoma because he got In a personal row with the governor. Out in the middle west: All were renominated In Iowa. In Illinois, a democrat, Leo Koclalkowski, lost out because the Cook county machine had another job in mind for him and he foolishly thought he could win anyway. One Republican, George A. Paddock, lost because popular former representative Ralph Church wanted his old Job back. In Indiana only one lost, a demo crat, William T. Schulte, whose iob was desired by the mayor of the largest town In his district, and a superior political power. ... IV Pennsylvania, two democrats ' were beaten, one (Charles I. Faddis) because his district had been rearranged to take in some labor communities where his policies were not popular, and the other. Representative Ouy L Moser, had .barely skinned through in previc.s primaries. A coilple of republicans suffered from redisricting, but none from the war issue. Robert F. Rich did not stand for renomination. because his dis trict was split in twai.. and at tarried to two adjoining districts, and Benjamin Jarrett was defeat ed due to four new counties being attached to his district. All were renominated in Ore gon, but in Maine one fll vJaniet C Oliver). Some down- fa queries not conforming to Instructions. camino. ueveny Hint, cam. Red Cross. The authority on whom I base my temerity In calling attention to the error is Schafer himself he introduced the method in England in 1904, in America in 1908. No one in any way connected with the Red Cross can cite any authority for the alteration of the method which has somehow crept into the Red Cross textbooks and practice. On- request, accom panied with stamped envelope bearing your address, I'll send a pamphlet on Resuscitation which shows the correct method and the faulty Red Cross method. It is a free country. You may take your choice Schafer's method or the ' American Red Croes method. If I were the vic tim I'd hope you would use Schafer's method.

'asters attributed Mr. Oliver's de ifeat to his Isolationist stand. A local political situation likewise i defeated one republican in North i Dakota (Charles R. Robertson.) Of the above-mentioned, Fad dis was a strong pro-war man; Moser and Schulte were classed as Isolationists. i Certainly it is clear the demo cratic voters were not mad at the democratic congressmen, and the republican voters seemed generally satisfied with their re publican representatives. It may be different in November when the democrats come up against the republicans, but for the pres ent all is quiet on the political front.

They would, it was agreed, regard the Alaskan episode as grave. Came the shelling at Gearhart and Vancouver island. The committee then determined that If war and navy depart ments would not reveal what was going on in Alaska a special committee would be sent there, and the senate approved $50, 000 for expenses. Under army rules it is easier to break into Jail than for a civilian to enter Alaska, and now the army has been given full authority to take over and operate radio and tel egraph in the territory. Alaska is being bottled up completely by the army from all sides ex cept via the Aleutians, and there the Japanese are roosting. Led by Senator Wallgren of Washington and Senator Holman of Oregon, with a few members - of the Truman committee, the group la expected to fly north from one of the army bases on Puget sound or from air head quarters at Spokane, It the sec retary of war and secretary of navy would not permit Marshall and King to talk, the senators will obtain the information from the commandant and subordi nates in Alaska. The senators have power to subpoena and the officers will have to tell the truth under oath. How long it will require for the complete story Is anyone's guess. ... NEWS reel pictures of Mrs. Leon Henderson and Mrs. Henry A. Wallace registering for sugar made no hit with many house wives of the northwest. It was the considered opinion of the housewives, writes a member of of a rationing board, that neither of these wives of government key officials will do any canning. Much of the dissatisfaction In the northwest comes from house wives who live in remote sec tions and who purchase 100 pound sacks at a time because they are far from trading cen ters and cannot go to a nearby store once a week for their ra tioned allowance. There are sev eral thousand such families in Washington and Oregon and when rationing was imposed they had this surplus and were Informed they must use it be fore the few pounds weekly would be granted them. Coun try housewives who put up from 200 to 1000 quarts of fruit a year for their families are still boiling with indignation as they see quantities of fruit going to waste for want of sugar. . . e WAR department Is publish ing a booklet by the allowance ! and allotment branch giving j iZ!nN. wt8'" I a,,er November 1; none paid be- fore that date.

There are boys from the two northwest states in every part of the globe. INSTEAD of the 90.000 people on office of price administration payroll, Leon Henderson has re ceived funds for about 46,000. From having enough lawyers to place one in every county in the country, the number has been reduced to about 10 for Wash ington and the same number for Oregon on a reduction cut of one-third. The thousands of so called "snoopers" being sent gum-shoeing to see if price ad ministration orders are obeyed, in addition to transportation, will receive $6 a day for hotel and meals. vrtimjtnf-ntsrroov's S,.'f - . a I-1 a IID T Join Uncle Sam 'jNutntionPros I cram ... aerve votw rm,l -..
