Atlanta, ewar, B. C. Ye Smudge Pot Br Arthux Petty . The metropolitan press is edi torially concerned over the lack of virile and robust war songs, of which there are none. How about? Don't Believe Too Much Applesauce From Anybody Else But Me." ' Alexander P. de Severalty's book, "Victory Through Air Power," is finding high favor among the people. It deals with the "logistics of war," (whatever that is.) Nevertheless, it seems worth trying, with more suc cess, than Victory Through Bull power, as demonstrated, Tha where and the when of the contemplated Second Front i a military secret There is also the matter of the appoint ment of a High Command. Among the candidates not men tioned. Is the British General in charge at Singapore. - The Nazis are reported "dying like flies on the North Caucasus front," while on the Kitchen Front, where the Older Girls are canning and pickling, the flies are dying like Nazis. It appears M. Gandhi, the holy man of India, is making a holy show of himself, and has more of the spirit of Hallowe'en than anything else In his soul. At his present rate, he will soon excel Benito Mussolini of Italy for downright ornriness. "Pendleton Is going to have some good looking new teach ers." (Pendleton East Ore gonlan.)

In his film come dies the famed comedian was a mean hand with a custard pie. and heaved the same with dead ly accuracy, always catching the foe square In the mush. With out saying so, the commentator suggests the able comedian slap Himself In his own lace with one of his favorite weapons, and leave the conduct of the war to far abler minds.

Closing lint for Claastfled Ada a. m Too tow to Oaseuy UM A Good Choice for 0. 5. C The selection of Dr. A. L. Strand, president of Montana State college, to be the new president of Oregon State College, appears to be a very happy one. Dr. Strand is young, progressive, and thoroughly experienced as an administrator in the western land grant college field. There are many problems to solve at O.S.C., some of them extremely difficult, but not one of them, for the successful solution of which, Dr. Strand will not come well-prepared. This practical experi ence, we predict, his youth, health and energy will prove to be a great help to the new college executive and a great .benefit to the college. , COR Dr. Strand his selection represent a deserved promotion in the U. S. educational field, and an opportunity f5r greater constructive service in an institution which ranks second to none, among the technical-scientific institutions Of the country. For Oregon State college it marks the end of an era of unfortunate uncertainty and unavoidable con fusion, caused by the regrettable illness of President Ballard and the extreme difficulty of securing a man, properly qualified to take such an important place. Congratulations are in. order to the new President and to Oregon State college, the Mail Tribune pre dicts a future of greater usefulness and greater achievement for both ! Why Pick on Milk? We are asked to explain why Uncle Sam sets out to destroy the Oregon Dairy cooperative, and pays no attention to the farm, and what our correspondent terms, our Oregon "labor COOPERATIVES.'' "If It Is Illegal for dairy farmers to cooperate In an effort to round up the milk supply and improve their economic condition, why isn't It Illegal for the fruit or wheat farmers ' our workers to try to Ho Hum it's too much for the skipper of this de partment! Let our "inquiring subscriber" consult the nearest legal authority or write to the U. S. Supreme Court. JUST where a cooperative organization, endeavor ing as they all DO, to cover a particular field as COMPLETELY as possible, becomes a "conspiracy to monopolize", and just cent and desirable organization designed solely to improve the economic welfare of its members, is a "no man's land" the exact boundaries of which this department has never been able to determine. And we know of no authority that HAS. THE entire monopoly and restraint-of-trade prob lem in fot 5o mnnVi lilfo Mark- Twnin'a wpnthpr. there is a lot of talk about done about it. DRACTICALLY ever since the battle of San Juan Hill, there have been occasional federal actions against this monopoly or some other. And in a vast majority of cases the "cooperative" has lost its case and some punitive or dissolution decree handed down. But if there has been a eral situation, we don't know what it has been. What to Do in India? What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable body will perhaps be known before the week is over. The test will be made force will be the Indian demand for complete inde pendence NOW. The immovable body will such action can not, and after the war, is over. Which will it be? That only the future can decide. DUT we know which it SHOULD be. It should be whichever and whatever, will best protect India against the Jap invader. If Indian defense will best be strengthened by im mediate independence, let that be granted, and granted today. If Indian defense will best be strengthened by NOT granting independence until after the war is over, let that course be pursued. There should be only one factor in this decision, which course will contribute most to the winning of the war. Just that, as Mr. Poe once remarked, "NOTHING morel" What Does it Mean? Well there have been many strange things in this war. One of them was the "Bridges pronouncement" by Attorney General Biddle regarding Soviet Russia conspiring through the Communist party to over throw the United States government. lhat has never been it. ever is explained, satisfactorily at least. a a A ND now comes Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, our , gracious and devoted Eleanor, after many jmonths of unanticipated claiming: "I do not wish to be controlled In this country by an American group that. In turn, Is controlled by Russia and Russia's interests." And at the time Russia is fighting with its back to the wall for its very life, fighting in the cause for which this country has pledged the last full measure of devotion. Both statements mav be entirely true and proper, FACTUALLY, but the TIMING is what we can't fathom.

Address Dr. William Brady. 184 El Camlno, Bererly Hills, Calif. THE DOG WAS SURLY Mrs. S. G. H. writes: Five years ago I stooped to pet a Boston terrier. He jumped and bit my upper lip close to the nostril. It was a nasty wound penetrating to the gum. The woman who owned the dog put some (a feeble "anti septic nos trum) on it and assured me the dog had always been quite Dr. Brady healthy. Tha day following, the dog showed signs of illness and on the third day he became violent and the health doctor took him away and destroyed him. The diagnosis was rabies. As I was a stranger to the owner of the dog I was not noti fied of this- Consequently I had no further treatment. But when I discovered some three weeks later the circum stances of the dog's demise I hurried to the Board of Health and a doctor these told me noth ing could be done so far as Pasteur treatment was concern ed. Now will you please tell me why I did not contract rabies? Or was I better off for not hav ing Pasteur treatment? Assuming I believe In (a) the occurrence of rabies in man and (b) the use of Pasteur .treat ment, I would offer these sug gestions described. It was highly Improper, for the owner of the dog to attempt to give any sort of first aid treatment to the wound If the service of a physician was avail able within an hour or two. It doesn't matter whether the dog has always been gentle, healthy or a great pet. A dor's disposition probably has nothing to do with the dog's susceptibil ity to or immunity against any disease neither has a person's. The proper course In any such case is as follows: 1. Have the dog confined under the observation of a veterinary physician for two weeks. 2. Wait for the veterinary phys'cian to report whether the dog shows any sign of rabies. Only when the vet- I News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued from Page One) Internal use In Russia. Their troops' morale is obviously bol stered by prospects of an early second front. a a NOW I do not say a disaster will not occur. I merely point out Uie news from Russia must be understood in the light of this diplomatic situation. No one here knows what toll the reds are exacting from the advancing nazis. If they are making Hitler pay the Sevasto pol price for his gains, the loss in territory and even Caucasus oil need not cause collapse cf the Russian war effort. Unless red army morale has been so weakened that It will be unable to continue resist ance if Stalingrad goes and the Caucasus falls, the situation does not make a separate peace an immediate necessity. In the absence of an unbiased reporting from that front, all that ran be done here Is to withhold military Judgment a a a WHILE everyone In this coun try has eagerly wanted a second front every day for weeks and months past, the date for startng one. is not to be se lected by commentator?, or even, unhappily by Russia, but by the military directors of Britain and the United States, who alone can Judge when they have ac cumulated enough strength to attempt it. Also, when the news event ually comes out as to what has happened to our convoys en route to Murmansk, the public will know how much we have contributed in lives, ships and material to the liussian cause. No one Is Justified yet in assuming this country has not done all it could. Britain can answer for herself. e a a JUEAREST congrcs'lonal dis- ' trict to Washington is that of Representative Howard Smith, runnii.g along the opposite banks of the Totomac in Democratic Virginia. Large numbers of fed eral employes live there in homos closer to the Wh'te IT.h.-" than many in the city itself. Brady M. D. I nary physician reports that the dog has developed signs of rabies should the victim receive Pasteur treatment. 3. If the dog is killed or dies before a veterinary phy sician can make such a test, have the head taken at once to the pathological laboratory de signated by your local health department, for examination. If the laboratory test is "posi tive" then, all health auth orities or most of them advise, the Pasteur treatment should be given at once. On the other hand, assuming I do NOT believe rabies happens in man, and that I would NOT take Pasteur treatment myself In any concelvazle circumstance, the Incident described seems Just another little affair that doesn't mean anything.

Presumably to icpresent their viewpoint, the secretary-treasurer of the International Asso ciation of Machinists (AFL) Em melt Davison, a former mayor of Alexandria, Virginia, and no novice at politics, entered the primary race against Smith. Here was a straight clear-cut Issue drawn on a national pol itical theme of the day a labor lcadei running against a con gressman who had denounced strikes and labor racketeers, and running under circumstances In which government employees were expected to contribute strong voting power. Davison did not carry a sin gle precinct. He did not carry the ones almost within slingshot range of the White House, where federal employees were a major ity. Smith won nomination with the crushing margin of 4 to 1. Apparently not even the em ployees of this administration want a man with such a restrict ed class group interest, as a union leader, to represent them in congress. San Francisco, Aug. 7 T Japanese occupation of the outer Aleutians is a "direct threat to this country," say Senator A. B. Chandler of Kentucky, "and whatever it takes, we must get those fellows off of those is lands." Chandler Is cha rman of a military effairs subcommittee which will leave for Alaska shortly to examine the situation there. His colleagues for the trip are Sen. Harold H. Burton of Ohio. Sen. M. E. Wallgren of Washington and George W. Ma lone, former Nevada state engineer who Is a special consul tant for thi sub-committee- This Is no Jurket or lark." Chandler told newsmen.

Magntuen Score Beat On Senators Apple Juice To Go Into Glaaa No More Camps North Of S. F. Br Joha W. Ksllr Washington, D. C, Aug. 7 While Senator Monrad C. Wall gren of Everett, Wash., and Sen ator Rufus C. Holman of Port land, Ore., are waiting for Sen ator "Happy" Chandler of Ken tucky to lead the senatorial in vestigating committee into Alas ka, snappy Warren G. Magnus en, representative from Seattle, pulled a fast one on the toga wearers. Flew out of Washing ton Saturday night, caught an army plane in Seattle and is now on a one-man investigation of why the Japanese are In the Aleutian Islands. The chances are that Magnuson will take his birdseye view of Kiska and re turn and tell his story before the senators even start. The senate committee was all set to go and Chandler, desig nated as chairman, was about to fly from Chicago to the northwest when word from Ken tucky politicos advised him to wait until after the Kentucky primaries. There is still some squawkling about the $20,000 swimming pool presented to Chandler by a war contractor, despite the "all clear" given the gift by a senatorial committee. Chandler had decided to be in Alaska on primary day, but his political advisers frowned on that. So, Wallgren and Holman had to wait until the electors voted In the Blue Grass state. It Is a great opportunity for a house member to steal the thunder of the senate. Having already served in this war on a ship in the Pacific, Magnuson stands well with the armed for ces and had no difficulty having a plane placed at his disposal. He will not make his inquiries at Kodiak but will go to Dutch Harbor (bombed July 3 and 4) and will fly for a look at Kiska and Attu, where thousands of Japanese have entrenched them selves and are fighting off every American PBL that shows itself. Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox telephoned a northwest senator that he need not be worried about the Japanese in Alaska ,as the navy is now in command and that the Nips would be run out. "When?" in quired the senator. "In a week?" The secretary said no "In a month?" asked the senator. The secretary said he wouldn't promise any specific time, but "eventually" the enemy will be ejected from the front door of the Pacific northwest. a THE apple Juice Industry which thrives in Washington and Oregon, has decided to "go to glass" Instead of the familiar tin containers. There Is one hold out, however. In the Yakima country who is Insisting on tins, and for glass a different method would be required besides, glass Is heavier than tin and this will increase the freight rate. The apple .Juice associ ation, alarmed at the increasing shortage of tin which will be even more scarce next year, has ordered the glass for this year's production. For reasons best known to themselves the powers that be will see that tin is avail able for citrus fruit juices, and grapefruit. a a a STATEMENT of a govern ment mining scientist that "the only known deposit of nickel ore In the United States Is on mountain In Douglas county, Oregon," is challenged by a read er from Everett, Wash.

Because of failure to find nickel ore in the United States this country has been importing 90 per cent of its need from Canada and 10 per cent from New Caledonia, an Island In the Pacific now held by American troops. a - a WAR department has decided it will build no. more canton ments on the west coast north of -San Francisco, which shat ters the hopes of several Paci fic northwest communities that have been petitioning for one of these camps. This decision has been arrived at because of the alleged shortage of lumber. A cantonment shelters In excess of 30,000 soldiers (a larger popu lation than any city has outside the few major metropolitan areas) and costs about $23,000, 000 to construct. Such a can tonment has a monthly payroll of $1,500,000. THERE may yet be a federal sales tax. The house failed to include It when it passed the new tax measure, but there Is a possibility of the senate adopt ing the sales tax. A poll was taken In the. committee on fi- mnM urhlrh rlisrlosed eleven against the sales tax and seven in favor of it. This was a poll on sentiment. Among the eleven are three senators who are 100 per cent new dealers and these will vote for the tax If they re ceive a tip from the White House. How the president feels will determine the question, and a group of senators are now awaitinc 'the word."
