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

WHO'S DOGMATIC NOWf
By completely Ignoring ele

your conten-

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.

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 :

the Arctic and then along the

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.

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.

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.

I want to answer the com

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

that.

At present American supplies

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
