Ye Smudge Pot Br Arthur Ferry The proposed ten billion dol lar boost in federal taxes to drain off "inflationary excess spending money" in the hands of the public. Is now offset by a proposed ten per cent fed eral sales tax. The public, it is hinted, is awkward in its spend ing. There Is a surplus of bu- reaucrats to do a neat, artistic end expert job of getting rid of It for them. John Q. Public, sometimes known as Joe Pungle, upends his war boom cash for $9 whiskey, T-bone steaks, fur coats for the Missus. He only gets rid of it by the fist-full, and lasts quick. The Hon. Sam Bu reaucrat spends it in box-car lots for votes, repainting Utopi an rainbows, and a quart of milk per diem for the Hottentots. The governmental spendthrifts are limited by neither time nor space, nor the alleged gasoline shortage. They stray far to per form humanitarian squandering Mr. Public, alias Pungle, is re stricted to his own home town. Now a federal sales is something else. It is viewed with horror by politicians both clever and clumsy. It is sane, sensible, and nobody can get out of paying it ' Valley pioneers meet tomor row at J'ville for their annual reunion.

LEAD PENCIL EXPERT 'Take the respective years in which Roosevelt, Churchill Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler was born. In each case add the year they came into power, then in each cac add the number of years in power and to that add each of their ages. The results re as follows: Roosevelt, 3886; Churchill, 3886; Stnlln, 388S; Mussolini, 3886 and Hitler, 3888. Quite a coincidence. But there's still a bigger coincidence. In each case divide the flaura bv two and In each case the result is 1943. "And that year," says the editor "we'll whip H out of the axis." (Olney (IU.) Advo cate.)

Army Intelligence recently declared the German army and air force are stronger today than four years ago, wnen f oiand was invaded. Naturally from such a source, the statement caused a tremendous sensation ana cnucism. The General has been Nazi, through a dope fiend, to a damned and unmiti gated liar. THE surprising thing is to these accusations, able to determine, made any explanations, or pre sented any supporting evidence. Which, as we see it, is unfortunate. For one does not have to be in the confidence of U. S. Intelligence to have the statement was made; HOW it might well be liter ally true: and still not in any sense mean what 99 out oi lou people have taken , AS Paul Mallon pointed campaign to counteract confidence regarding the following the surrender of this statement from the head of U. S. Intelligence was a part or tnat campaign. Therefore to take the state ment, with a certain pinch of salt, is justifiable. On the other hand, there is no reason to doubt the statement is FACTUALLY wen De stronger on the land and in the air today than she was when Poland was invaded. This would not mean Germany is so strong today, but comparatively speaking, was so weak in actual military effectives when the war began. IN all likelihood Germany On4 n... 1 CiOCi 1 "u " iw Biute aoa, um uie an impurtani iact from the United Nations standpoint, and a fact which in the press report of General Strong's state ment at least was not mentioned, was the obvious fact that the strength of the allied nations has in creased in that period a hundred fold. Where the German strength has increased perhaps 2 or 3 percent, in the past four years the allied oirengtn, on land, sea and in the air, has increased from practically nothing, to probably the greatest military force the world has ever seen. JN other words while General Strong's statement may well be literally true, and in view, of the over- sanguine state of the public as corrective propaganda; truth, and its implications ior out oi iuu people who read the statement un doubtedly took it to mean, that Germany would be more difficult to defeat now than would have been the case Li 1939. , This obviously is completely false I In 1939 Germany had "the world bv the tail with a down-hill pull," not because ingly strong according to present military standards, but because the democratic world was so weak and so completely unprepared. IN the ensuing four years i wucucu uuii cacicu; revei seu. xne united Nations now enjoy the superiority Germanv once enjoyed, and while Germany and even of her air fleet may well be stronger than when she marched into Poland, she is today out classed in actual power practically everywhere. If this were not true certainly Hitler would never have abandoned the offensive, and gone everywhere vii uie ueiensive. ror ne must know as well as his military leaders that under modern war conditions, the former is the only road to victory; the latter can only end ultimately in defeat IT is too bad General Strong did not make this point vitai hi wc uugiuai outucuieiiu u. ne xiau uie iorce of his remarks as far as debunking propaganda is concerned might have been lessened ; but he would have escaped a great deal of unwarranted abuse, and would have given a complete picture of the war situa tion (at least as we see it) instead of an incomplete, ami uiereioie a misleading A Willkk Postscript Well as a postscript to the Willkie problem, a certain group of Missouri Republicans sent their titular leader a communication recently asking him if not renominated would he support the Republican i:cket? It is to the credit of Mr. Willkie that he did not try to hedge in any way, but came back promptly and straight from the shoulder as follows: "I shall support my party ONLY If my party supports my countryl" But from a POLITICAL standpoint, what will be the result? Those who signed that communica tion, and many other Republicans will resent the clear implication that the urant might during this war fail to support their country, and their opposition to Willkie, ex-Democrat, will be stronger and more bitter than ever. bo again why lead with your chin Wendell? Why go out of your way to antagonize a definite Republican group the support of which you must have to get the nomination? Would not the same idea have been expressed without any political in jury and without any self-stultification if the an swer had been slightly changed as follows: "I shall certainly support the Republican party as long as It continues to loyally support my country, whether I am its standard bearer or not." and raised a storm of protest called everythine from cro- ' the General has not replied or. as far as we have been a pretty good idea of WHY it to mean. out a few days-ago, the ihe strong feeling of over- war that swept the country.

HOW TO LIVE A Since some professor made the front page by reporting his con clusion that vitamin C tends to prevent hard ening of the arte ries, we have had no confirmation of the professor' conclusion and we can only stagger along believing that a fair daily in take of vitamin C as much as vou Bet in an Dr. Brady , orange, the Juice of half a lemon, a peach or a dish of almost any raw green leafy salad or relish, or a half glassful of commercial canned tomato juice or canned tomato, or half of a fresh tomato. But this, is not a song about vitamins. I want to haro on something else today. I was re minded of it over on the bowl ing green. A dentist who was drawn to play against me an nounced that he did not mind, for he had intended to sneak '. , me that day anyway. i sincerely believe that the average adult can add a good five years to his or her life, active, enjoyable life, not just existence.

I have had with dentists and from clippings and other items per taining to the subject, I gather mat my opinion of the useless ness of brushing the teeth in the effort to save them is much better known than is my opinion of the essentiality of good den tistry for preservation of health and vite and promotion of longevity. For this odd state of affairs I blame the dental pro fession the profession as a whole is too easily misinformed by proprietary Interests' that would be happier if I were silenced. May I quote what I say about this in the booklet "The Seven Keys To Vite" (for copy sent twenty-five cents and stamped envelope bearing your address) Every tooth lost by disease, accident- or design substracts a year or two from the in - dlvidual's life expectation un- News Behind The News by Paul Mallon (Continued tram Page One) line and might cause the Nazis to withdraw not only from Melit opol, but aU the way back be yond the mouth of the Dnieper river. This would leave the Ger mans practically crowded out of their Black sea shore positions. The prospects that the Rus sians could smash the line at Kiev has been widely analyzed. But there Is a third opportunity northward around Smolensk which has not drawn much at tention. There they could force the Germans . back against the im penetrable Pripet marshes and divide the German army north and south of that vast swamp, thus hindering their communi cations and weakening their ability to resist. Any one of these three Rus sian successes would break the propaganda front which Goeb- bels has erected at home and should cause panic among the German people. . 'THE German retreat strategy S- In Ttfllv mnA 19nla haa artftn- sored some notion that Hitler Is holding back the best portions of his large army for counter attacks as soon as Allied lines are advanced too far to be easily maintained. Some authorities suspect him of claylne the Rommel game of North Africa. There the Axis retreated until the British were beyond their best supply radius before launching his major force This Is possible but not prob able. The plain explanation of German weakness Is that our constant threat of direct inva slon from England has pinned down a heaw Quantity of Ger man strength for the defense of that area. Furthermore, our line of stip- olles can be lust as easily main talned In northern Italy as in the boot. Also It Is hardly like ly that the Russians will get bevond their dCDth.

This applies particularly to the back teeth loss of which some misguided individuals be lieve is unimportant, since, they londiy imagine.

Washington Letter Analysis and Comment fcr ' HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth Oregon District Washington, D. C. Oct ft (Special Correspondence) Ore gon, Washington, California and Idaho members of congress are uniting In protest to the War Production board and the Man power Commission over the re cent direction from Donald Nelson's office declaring that no new contracts for war ma terials are to be awarded on the Pacific Coast because of the manpower shortage there. Fig ures we have indicate the man power shortage is In spots and not universal. - This order goes even deeper than just new contracts. I have lately talked with representa tives of several small manufac turing concerns in Oregon who are back here for renewal of contracts. These men have been informed that the order applies to ALL contracts. As a result, several concerns that have been in business for many years will be liquidated. The plight of small business all over the United States is sad. The only difference between the troubles of Oregon small business concerns and such busi nesses in other sections is that we have Nelson's manpower di rective as a sort ot coup de grace. Our little business is go ing to be put to death quickly rather than go through the lin gering death period being suf fered by those in the other states. e LAST Saturday members of the house from Oregon and Washington met in Homer Angell's office to develop a plan and basis for protest against the Nelson directive and to ask exception at least for the establishment of an alumlna- from-clay plant in the northwest. A committee of three was named to confer with the War Production Board and plead our case. Yesterday I was requested to serve with a committee of California Congressmen which is also going to discuss the Pa cific Coast manpower directive and perhaps make a formal pro test to Nelson. Pacific Coast members of congress are pretty much wrought up over the sit uation as the above outline of activities indicates. Fact is, some of us suspect that the di rective is actually not necessary and that it Is an indirect method of putting the brakes on west ern industrial production. The Pacific Coast is showing defi nite signs of becoming industry minded, thereby threatening the former manufacturing domi nance enjoyed by the East and Midwest. NOTHING much doing on the floor this week. House: Cox re signed from special FCC Inves tigating committee under fire. Senate: Wheeler has been ar guing for his bill to prohibit the drafting of fathers which In due to fall. Nothing much in prospect for- next week. Meanwhile, the house rules committee is sitting on ths Ful mer bill (counterpart of the Jen kins bill drafted by the food study committee), which would consolidate the conflicting and confusing administration of food and place it under one head in the Department of Agriculture. The bill was reported out fa vorably by the committee on agriculture. If we can get that bill out of the rules committee onto the flocr of the house, It will pass. The senate would doubtless pass it also but the president would probably veto It . . . though I hope not, for considerable study of the whole situation by the food committee indicates that legislation as one great step toward improving the entive food situation. .

Olive Barber's Observations Fall bird migration la well un der way. Indeed some species have already disappeared. inougn there stui remain strag glers of many, the main body of which has left. Several species remain with us permanently and of these, the song sparrow rates highest in my esteem and affection. Streak ed little throat palpitating, brown tie in place In the center cf the small round breast, the song sparrow sends forth his jus tification for existence. I do not know what type of music we would call his song in our own musical terms, but it would have to be something which could make vocal the glory of the sun, the gentleness oi laming aew, soft movement of wind across grasses and the color of summer blooms. For all of these are in the song coming from the throat of the song spar row. . v A few minutes ago I opened the kitchen door just as lilting notes of fairy proportions came from the peak of the woodshed. It was the pianissimo prelude he always gives before launching into the main theme of his song. His finales are always given fortissimo, giving a dramatic finish to his performance like any true artist. But first that prelude; a gen tle blur of sound, as soft as a baby's breath. By some divine alchemy which it is not given me to understand he ran change his diet of weed seeds and weev ils into such a song as must set the angels envying. Birds are said to behave in an entirely instinctive manner and scientists further claim that they have a very limited intelligence.
