"Although the letter from Oliver Currle, found on this page today, asks for 'clarifica tion of the editorial appearing in today's (Saturday's) Bulletin' it appears that it is not so much 'clarification' that is wanted as a knowledge of what caused the editorial to be written. The editorial. It seems to u.i, was quite clear. It asserted the simple proposition that even if The Shevlin Hlxon company we-e not fulfilling Its patriotic duty to produce all the lumber possible a charge that the com pany denies criticism of the company could not properly be voiced by a group that insisted last summer on taking a week's vacation regardless of a govern ment request that it forego the vacation In order that lumber production be not Interrupted." (Bend Bulletin). "DUD" SHELL EXPLODES El Centro, Cel. u. C. M McAllister. 27, had the misfor tune to be wounded In World War II by a shell from World War I. He was examining what was supposed to be a "dud" shell, a souvenir of 1B18, when It dropped to the floor and explod ed. His wounds were all injuries w in iei What It is hard to determine which is the more startling: Women replacing men as stevedores on the San Francisco waterfront or Five WAACS taking U. S. war front in Africa. THE women stevedores it is claimed are in some ways better than the men. "They don't take time off to smoke" (this is a quote, we never heard of male stevedores taking time off for that purpose either) and they don't come to work late Monday morning "with a nang-over." To return the compliment, a spokesman for the curveacious stevedores declares the gals like steve doring fine: "Wi can eat all we want and still keep our flggaral" That certainly comes close to having ones cake and eating it also! THESE five WAACS, meanwhile, have discarded their becoming blue uniforms, ($200 worth donated by the benevolent Uncle Sam!) put on khaki, which isn't so becoming, and are doing real manual labor (precisely what is a military secret) so the men they relieve can take part in the actual fighting. What next! We thought women wrestlers were exceeding the speed limit of this feminist revolution, but after all there is a certain touch of exhibitionism and the green room, to that department of gymnastic vaude ville. Moreover wrestling is at best a roving and occasional assignment But nothing roving or occasional about stevedor ing, it's a day-to-day job these war days, and the btevedoress has to have, what it takes. As to service behind the lines of this man's war, the air bomber has made the service of supply just about as hazardous as the front line trench. ..... ALL this is not intended a-iwt'tamy All praise and all hail to the military gals in their khaki and the muscular ones also in their overalls! But the idea is somewhat startling to some of the older boys who can recall how terribly the family was shocked when Sister Sue came down to breakfast in a divided skirt, spurs and waving a cowboy hat! . ... . . A YE verily Time marches on, and war speeds up that march to a double quick! In one direction the situation is clarified, however. Less doubt about the post-war era. While the details are still obscure no question the world after the war will be far more a woman's world than the one that is so rapidly disappearing into the mists of the past! ( Is Franco Anti-Axis? To the editor ' I have been interested In your comments about keeping an eye on Spain. -1 am not a Spaniard but I have visited Spain, talk Spanish and sometimes have taught it I also get a Spanish newspaper from time to time. So I think I know a little about that country. And I think your fears regarding that country are baseless and for two reasons: Franco is an out-and-out opportunist like your friend Darlan and seeing tha writing on the wall, has switched from being pro-Axis to being pro-British. This may not be apparent In tha press reports, but it happens to be true. And No. 2: If Franco did try to join the Axis in this war, or even allow HlUer to march through his country, there would be a revo lution and this time the revolution would win and Franco wouldn't. And Franco does not want to lose for this time ha would not only lose his job but his headl Professor JTL (Name on file) Very interesting. And it may well be true. We have always re garded Franco as an opportunist (dictators have to be!) and his attitude since the allies marched into Africa has therefore greatly surprised us.' True, Franco has repeatedly pledged his neutral ity, and maintained vociferously ne would resist any foreign power, that tried to disturb it On the other hand, however, he has continually expressed his sympathy with the Axis powers, and his hostility toward the allies, particularly toward Russia. VET as things have broken more and more disas- terously for Hitler, we have doubted more and more that Franco would EVER become involved in what must be apparent to him, and every other informed military leader, is a hopeless cause. On the other hand listen to some of the things Franco has said over the air, since Rommel's defeat: "May your arms triumph (this to Hitler!) In your glorious undertaking of treeing Europe from the Bolshevik terror." "When the war ends the old Europe will be dead, with Its capitalism. Imperialism and plutocracy" (direct quotation from Der Relchfeuhrerl) And (following Premier Churchill's scathing attack on Mussolini) Franco addressed II Duce as the "great leader who had given justice to the Italian people." We submit it is rather difficult to justify the above remarks, and they have been public pro nouncements of an official nature, with the claim that Franco has recently transferred his affections and loyalties from the Axis to the United Nations camp. Or can this be some new and baffling form of the dictatorial "double-cross". ..... IT'S all extremely confusing. We admit we have no such direct information or factual background as our learned correspondent and we grant Franco would be a terrible fool to join Hitler in this war, or any other. Yet in view of ALL THE FACTS, it still won't surprise us a great deal if we wake up some fine morning and find the Nazis marching through Spain on Gibraltar!

THE PSYCHOLOGY Dipsomania if morbid uncon trollable craving for alcoholic liquor. Some alcoholics crave, the narcotic influ ence or stlmu lation" as it is falsely termed dally or sever al times a day. Others, called periodic drink' era, have lucid Intervals last- i n g weeks or months during which they nei ther desire nor take alcohol, then without apparent cause Dr. Brady they suddenly crave it again and go on a bender. Well known is the character istic mental or moral attitude of the dipsomaniac toward drink ing. He can "take it or let it alone." and with that attitude he is likely to resent the sugges tion that he needs treatment or aid by relatives, physician or anybody who may be concerned about hla welfare. When I have referred to this peculiar attitude here numerous correspondents have chided me for my apparent lack of sympa thy and Informed me that I might do more good if I showed a little sympathy for the unhap py victims of alcoholism. I have a great deal of sympa thy for the vtetlms of alcohol ism the family, friends and in nocent bystanders who suffer in consequence of the drinker's In dulgence. Nevertheless there la some thing about the abnormal psy chology of the dipsomaniac that I can't understand. Although the steady or periodic drinker re sents the suggestion, by relative. physician or friend, that he needs treatment or help to break the habit, strangely enough the same Individual will react or re spond kindly to the same sugges tion when it is offered by an other drinker who has conquered the habit. ' This seems to be the secret of the remarkable success achieved by Alcoholics Anonymous in helping alcoholics to conquer the habit. I have been astonished and delighted by the many letters received from men and women who testify to the efficacy of the help given them by Alcohol ics Anonymous groups in vari ous parts of the country. These groups are made up of men and women who have themselves (Continued from Page One) farm help being the secretary of agriculture.

DEPARTMENT stores of Port- land, Seattle, Tacoma and Spo kane should be on the alert for snoopers from the Office of Price Administration.

One of these stores employs 27 men and women, full time, keep ing track of the orders of OPA. adjusting prices and issuing mimeographed instructions to all departments. Despite this array of special help the Investigator discovered sufficient to start pro ceedings. The second store used a lesser number of employes to keep posted on the shifting ceil ings. see COMPLAINT comes rolling back to the national capital that the rains of several weeks past In the northwest have made liv ing In most of th war emer gency housing projects far from comfortable.

'SWEEPERS DOING HEROIC TASK ON VITALSEA LANES United Press Correspondent Tells of Patrolling With U. S. Minesweeper. By Pari Patterson United Press Staff Correspondent Aboard a United States Mine sweeper, Eastern Sea Frontier (U.PJ Officers and men of Uncle Sam's minesweepers are today .performing a vital Job Job with little dash or glamor, out ever hazardous and mora often monotonous. Our craft, tha YMS, and her sister ships are tha workhorses of the offshore patrol. Theirs the prosaic task of keeping sea lanes free of enemy mines that Amer ican men and munitions may safely reach their destination to battle the Axis. We pulled away from the sec tion base as a blood-red sun peeked above the Atlantic. As we rose to the first billows, the crew began unreeling our 'sweep and "Red," the signalman, hauled the black sweep-balls into place one on the foremast and an other on each end of the yard arm. Lt Carl R. Cunningham of At lanta, Ga., our skipper, explained that the triple balls warn all nearby craft to stay clear of our stern. At night, green lights re place the three balls. Jok About Jackets As ha handed me a life Jacket he commented, 'The crew Joke that we don't really need these, for our ship is mostly wood and if a torpedo hit we'd be so full of splinters that wed float, any way." Soon our sweep was In place and we began to clear the area of possible mines. A large blob off our port bow became a freighter wallowing along in the Noreaster. Small convoy craft protected her fore, aft and on the seaward side. A a the merchantman a p- proached, our crew on the big gun forward wheeled their dar ling into position. "Are you dead on her?" Cunningham asked. Oh, we already have her on the bottom, sir," the gun point er replied. Ensign Julian A. Campbell of Vicksburg, Miss., the executive officer, explained the three types of mines contact, magnetic and acoustic. Two Types for Offense Contact mines are primarily for defense, while the other two types are offensive weapons. The first are moored several feet be low the surface and may have long antenna eddying in the cur rents. Any ship touching the an tenna or the mine itself will be blasted. Magnetic and acoustic mines are used only In shallow water and He on the bottom. The first explodes whenever ship enters the magnetic field set up by the mine's mechanism, while the acoustic mine lets go at the sound of the ship's engines or the beat of her propellers. For protection, the mine sweeper is built of wood and the hull banded with secret coils to neutralize the ship's presence within the magnetic field of any mine. X). K., but what about acous tic mines?" waa our next ques tion. "We're pretty safe from them. too," Ensign E. V. Carter of At lanta, the engineering officer, re plied. Ship WeU Armed A tour of the ship revealed her armament and the comfort able officers' and crew's quar ters. The YMS carries a big gun forward, two smaller can non on the wlngbridge, machine guns and depth-charge "K" guns amidships, and depth charge racks on the stern. Shortly before lunch. Lieuten ant Cunningham complimented us on the nice, calm day we had for the trip. A few minutes later In the wardroom, he apologized for the sandwiches on the table, saytng It was so rough tha cook could not keep any pots on the galley range! And such sandwiches thick. stlck-to-the-rigs. man-sized sand wlches served with huge, han dleless navy mugs of rich, black cortee.

TALK ON LIBERIA Mrs. Mildred Swain, who re cently returned on a Pan-Amer ican clipper from Africa, told Medford Rotarians about the in teresting country of Liberia, as a feature of the club's Tuesday luncheon meeting. Joseph Swain, her husband, was present at the meeting at the Hotel Medford. The Swains resided on a large rubber plantation in Liberia for the past two years, where Mr. Swain managed the Interests of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Mrs. Swain formerly resided here. In her Introductory remarks. Mrs. Swain told of the historical background of the tiny African country, founded as a refuge for American alaves after the Civil War. The "civilized" govern ment of the country follows the American pattern with a presi dent at its head, she said, while the native Africans are still gov erned by their tribal chiefs. Rubber is the principal product of Liberia, while an excellent grade of coffee, and gold, ivory and mahogany are' also ex ported. The Firestone rubber planta tion directed by Mr. Swain ex tended over an area of 82,000 acres, while the company's, two plantations in Liberia exceed 100,000 acres. Gathering of the rubber -crop is handled by 20,000 natives, working under the supervision of about 100 white overseers. About 200 different tribes, with their varying dialects, are rep resented In the native person nel. The average wage scale for natives Is equivalent to 12c to 19c per day, with native house laborers receiving 20c a day. The animals of Liberia are, for the most part, of pigmy size. They roam the lush Jungles of the beautiful African country and hunting is the popular sport of plantation workers. Average rainfall sometimes reaches the amazing total of 350 inches a year. In concluding her Interesting address. Mrs. Swain told of her experiences while returning to America by airplane, highlight of tha voyage being forced landing In South America. Mr. and Mrs. Swain brought some Interesting items in their Liberian collection to display at tne notary meeting. autosalesIen Detroit U.B It was some thing of a break for the navy recruiting service when Detroit sioppea Duiiding automobiles.
