The valley corn is coming along fine, and tall enough for Dock Green, the Iowa native son, to boldly admit it bears a resemblance to corn, in general details. F. Luy, the Antelope cowhand has to move, Aug. 10, from his farm. He has not yet chosen another place to dress up, and come to town on business from, three times per diem. Grasshoppers are rampant In the rural areas, but as yet have not eaten up any of the turkeys reported to be eating them After a turkey has eaten grass hoppers by the million, for days, he begins to develop a taste for them. Chuck Clay III was mention ed by a California paper Thurs. as a likely pedestrian, when he gets so he can put his feet in front of each other with regu larity, and not retreat while try ing to advance. The deer season opens In the sister state to the south next Sat. and several nimrods plan to relax from the war effort and take a chance on being shot fot one. The curb-stone military expert of this department would like to know : What has become of the German force that cleared the Kerch peninsula of Red army troops before the big push between Kerch and Kharkov started? Have they retired? If not then they are only about a mile of salt water from the Caucasus mainland, south of the Don, where a Nazi landing in force would outflank the Russian troops defending the south bank of the Don, and catch them in the rear. THE most likely explanation is the terrain across the strait from Kerch is not well adapted to a landing in force and is too well fortified to justify an attempt On the other hand if the German command did not plan SOME such move along the eastern shores of the Black Sea, (if not at Kerch), why was so much time spent and so many lives sacrificed in reducing Sevastopol? This is probably all primary stuff from the stand point of any professional military man, but to the M. T. amateur it is hard to answer. The right answer might be very reassuring to the allied cause, or might not! Stalin Still Holds An Ace The one bright spot in the Russian picture con tinues to be Voronezh. This strategic point on the Don which Hitler claimed to have taken nearly a month ago is still in Russian hands. In its latest communique the German High Com mand, admits the struggle is getting more and more intense in that area, the Nazi defenders being praised for tremendous tenacity. A fair interpretation of "tremendous tenacity" from the German standpoint would be a Red army advance there but not a break-through. e AS long as Stalin threatens a break-through in this sector, and his forces are not driven back across the river, tremendous Nazi forces are in real dancer of being outflanked. And if outflanked the losses would be terrific. MIGHT be disastrous. In other words, as long as voronezn noios out Stalin Has an ace in the hole which is of tremendous importance, and while the situation is still serious from the Russian standpoint, it is very tar irom being hopeless. So Let the Whistle Blow! As a brief relief from war news, the latest report on coast football presents a cheering and refreshing contrast General DeWitt, chief of the Western Defense Command has given his approval to the coast football schedule, as far as California is concerned. What goes for the sun-kissed state, must co for Oregon and Washington. This means the Ditrskin lads will be at it as usual, even though most of the stars will be in Uncle Sam's armed forces, and mostly new faces will be within the leather helmets. rENERAL DeWitt according to Governor Olson, only makes a few natural restrictions. Military regulations will have to be complied with, of course, including speedy dousing of lights on night games if same should be necessary, and the prompt cancella tion of games, should there be any sudden and vital change in the military situation. Naturally, the war comes before football and should. But no restriction of crowds is mentioned, and in all likelihood this change of attitude by the coast "high commandoes" means the greatest outdoor sport ever invented will not be a serious war casualty as so many football fans have feared. . And that is all to the good, mates. Both for the better training of future soldiers and sailors and for the public morale I Personal Health Service By Wlliam Brady. M. D.

WHO'S DOGMATIC NOWf By completely Ignoring ele mental phyiologlcal, anatomical and bacteriological facts thoroly estab 1 i s h e d, your conten- if) exposure and resistance are curiously dog matic, (a non medical read er informs me he has been carrying on re search work for many years and claims Dr. Brady membership in Sigma XI as well as A.A.A.S.). First let us consider the anatom ical and physiological aspects of exposing alone. By analogy let us consider the human body as a mechanism involving the heal ing system of a building. The pipes and radiators are the cir culating system . . . the thermo stat is the subthalamic region . (And so on for eight pages. . signed L.A.K ). Brother, that's lust the trou ble. You and the many more or less emlnint medical or health authorities who contend that ex posure lowers "resistance , pre disposes to or directly causes whatever Illness they please to call a cold while physician and patient are wondering what the trouble really Is, are always reluctant to divulge the "established facts" on which the quaint contention is based and so smug in offering such anal ogies in lieu of facts when seek ing to suppress those who want to know the truth. When one discussing this question cavils at my teach ings, he Is likely to toss in a characteristic remark about the "scientific" or "accepted" view or the "consensus of prevailing medical opinion", meaning that s what he thinks. My friend, if all your years of medical research gave you noth ing better than the analogy you offer to sustain your notion about the effects of exposure to cold, you should teel frustrated. In long study of the literature, especially published reports of animal or human experiments calculated to show the effects of so-called "exposure" to sudden changes of temperature, drafts, dampness, chilling, I have found nothing that weighs against the actual experience of people who have suffered such exposure most polar explorers, woods men, lumberjacks, fishermen tions regarding! to cold and wet in the tranches and others whose occupation or sport involves a great deal of exposure. To isy nothing of the experience of thousands of men who suffered extreme exposure in the first World War. You have one great advantage nine eut of ten older folk, medical and laymen, share your opinion of the effect of everyday "exposure". Thjt Put? the few who do not fear everyday "exposure" on the unpopular side of the argument, But remember this, brother. It is still an argument, a contro versy, if you like, and you can't end it by arbitrarily asserting that the view you take is "estab lished fact". That era of Ameri can medicine is over. People nowadays demand something more then dogmatic pronouncia-tions. QUESTIONS and ANHWIBS rapaya Kelly's Comment From Washington. D. C Northwest May Be . Army Jumpoff Mutt Oust Jap From Aleutian McNary in Favor Of Rubber Cf ar By John W. gettr l Washington, D. C, July 2S If this war continues long enough the Pacific northwest mky be the jumping off place for men and munitions for Rus sia and Siberia and far-off China and Indja. But before this can develop American troops must remove every trace of the Jap anese toehold in the Aleutian islands, and cargo carrying planes and transport planes for troops now being built must be expedited. Roughly, the strategists are studying the far porth, in. a new light. It is possible that supplies irom the northwest may be : shipped through Bering sea into the Arctic and then along the sn-called nnrthprrl Ka rnnt in zr: t ",rr ,,s:m' This is , route tun have met with opposition from Don Nelson of war production board. Mr. Nelson has a rubber division (so have several other agencies) and says that if the senate should establish sucn an official it would be an infringe ment upon the authority of President Roosevelt. Mr. Nelson was, however, speaking for himself. The committee is of the opinion that rubber made from alSQholi and. the alcohol derived from wheat, would be cheaper than that produced by petro leum. The senators are all members of the agricultural committee and feel satisfied that the petro leum advisors of Mr. Nelson are unsympathetic to the alcohol process. The committee had a chart prepared to show the background of these advisors and were not surprised when the entire outfit disclosed con nections with the oil industry. Mr. Nelson insists that while the alcohol process might be satis factory, he cannot grant priori ties for distilleries to handle the grain. A senator-created rubber dictator would look after priori ties himself and not ask permis sion from Mr. Nelson. papaya Julos Is ud for tenderizing meats, makes the toughest beef aa tander aa choicest high grade cut.

There is one war casualty, however, which the skipper of this column (donning his dark-glasses and Hollywood beret) enthusiastically welcomes, That is the double movie-feature. We have it on the highest authority, none other than Sam Goldwyn himself, that double billing has been taking too much time from war subjects, and Samuel predicts a sudden and painless death. We hope the redoubtable Samuel is as right on this forecast as he is on most. Double features have been one of the pet aversions of this department since the atrocitv was first nerne- trated, and for two chief reasons: (1) The double show is too lonir and too tirW and, (2) Almost invariably it means sittinor thrmich n punk performance for the privilege of seeing a medi ocre one, o.k. George, say a FAIRLY good one as contrasted with something really first class. In short sacrificing quality to quantity, which is the death of any art.

They had to face the possi bility that the Russians might even wind up the summer with the loss ot Leningrad and Mos cow, and be thrown back upon a line running roughly from Astrakhan to Murmansk. Any notion that the Rods might sur render, however, did not enter any official mind. AH were des perately impatient for signs of the expected Russian counter stuck. MR. HULL'S idea for the post war world recognised and accepted many aims ot Vice President Wallace and his corps of promoters, but leveled thee down to an entirely different plane. Mr. Hull advocated "co operation among nations," not a new league of nations, or a single world democracy, or "union now." He advocated helping needy nations which show genuine willingness to cooperate fairly in a new world trade system, not a free-for-all new deal spending program to industrialise the world at our expense. While he wanted an Interna tional police force and disarma ment, he talked none of Mr. Wallace's wage scales for re mote peoples or the quart of milk a day for the beer-drinking workers of Europe and other dietary matters. "Here again Mr. Hull seemed to be standing at the right of the new deal, facing the extrem ists of the left -a fact whici suggests that Mr. Roosevelt may be preparing the way to emerge eventually with a program of his ow i lying half-way between the two. a a A MONO the toes upon which Mr. Hull seemed lightly to tread were those of Dr. Alvin H. Hansen, Harvard, special thinker for the Natural Re sources Planning Board. Dr. Hanson offered his views for the post-war world In an inter view published in the Chicago Journal of Commerce, June 27. He advocated "boldness." He wants "an administrative democracy," which sounds very much more like a centralized state than a people's govern ment with a federal debt bur j den of perhaps 1250,000,000,000 or more to start with; continua tion of the existing tax scale on the people, continued price and production controls on business, and something sensationally new to the public at least a surrender by congress to the president of specific powers over spending and taxation, whereby congress would merely fix the limits and let the execu. ttve department fix the taxes and work out the spending. In this last instance again, he would take power from the direct representatives of the people in congress, and put it into the hands ot one man. Communications Not All Ratal To the editor I want to answer the com munication "Cantonment Work er Complains" ot your last Thursday issue. It is a true fact that in any group of 1.000 people you will find a number ot "rats." This goes for any group you find them in churches, lodges, serv ice groups, clubs anywheer. Thst type is so small that dollar looks awful big to them: bigger than friendship, princi ple, honesty or any other virtu. There are some 15.000 people in Medford and each 1,000 has Its share. The rest of the people are as fine as you can find anywhere. This complaining cantonment worker evidently bumped into a bunch of these "rats'' all in a row, but you can't Judge the whole of Medford because of that. GEO. rVERSOJI Medford. July 23. of ice and bad weather and ex tends to about 75 degrees north latitude, but the Russians have been navigating most of the way for a dozen years or more, At present American supplies far Russia are going to Mur mansk put of Atlantic coast ports in convoys. It the Japan ese menace in the Aleutians is removed the route to Murmansk via the Arctic from the north west will be free from all diffi culties other than those of na ture. The motor road now being built through British Columbia by United States army engineers (the prairie route not wanted by Alaskans nor residents of the northwest who have studied highway possibilities), is to be a link in a road to Siberia. The highway wiU bring supplies from Detroit and wheat from Chicago. Now under survey is a railroad near the coast, which meets with the approval of Alaskans and Washington and Oregon, for over this route sup plies can move from those states. These routes are tenta tively planned to reach Bering strait near its narrowest point (which is about 50 miles wide), then supplies can be moved over the strait by air or water to the Siberian shore and thence, possibly, to Irkutsk. To reach China and India the cargo planes and transports can taxi from air fields near Spo kane, Everett, Portland, or wherever the war department selects a port of aerial embarka tion. It could be Pasco. Those supplies and men can take the route to Alaska, then sweep out over the Aleutians to Siberia and thence to China and India. These routes depend, with the exception of the motor highway, on air transport. As reported in this space several weeks ago a factory in Pennsylvania now has an order for 900 cargo planes and work Is In progress. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker predicted two weeks ago that 10.000 cargo and transport planes were in the offing, and Henry Kaiser proposes 5000 transport planes (70 tons each) a year be built, half of them in west coast shipyards. NONE pf these routes, how ever are tenable with the Jap anese entrenched in the Aleu tians, for they could be a nuis ance to steamers threading the Bering sea headed for the Arctic route (Japanese have already I been poking around Bristol bay) or the ferrying of material on the land route across Bering strait, or cargo planes departing from fields in the northwest for China or India. From such re ports as are obtainable the Jap anese are determined to hold the bases they have captured Kifka being a harbor of unusual size with an entrance that can be easily mined. a a ON the petition addressed to President Roosevelt urging him to cancel the deportation order against Harry Bridges, west coast CIO leader, which would ship him back to his native land Australia are the signature of many union men of the north west, but apparently not Art members.
