Editorial Correspondence
San Francisco, Dec. 8 Raining bard today but still warm, and
the bay calm. Don't hear much of camouflage in this war. But
some of the ships coming in and out of the Golden Gate are so
well camouflaged they can hardly be detected in this atmosphere,
they move along in stately fashion like marine ghosts.
' We were a bit premature on the holiday window displays
vhich we reported conspicuous by their absence. Still nothing
like the Dre-war days but they are beginning to sprout all over
the downtown section like mushrooms on the 6th fairway. .
Medford Is a small place. COMPARATIVELY, and 400
miles from San Francisco, yet In all our stops her we can't recall
one when some Medfordites were not encountered. Last night saw
Don Clark and his charming daughter Nancy a WAVE from
Alameda, at the St. Francis, also Clyde Flchtner, son of Carl

Clyde is in the navy chemical warfare department with head
quarters over on Treasure Island, where Commander Stanley also
of Medford is stationed. All we're looking hale and hearty, Clydo
ir very enthusiastic about bis life in the navy.
NewsDaDer men here are all agog over the news leaks via
Reuters in Lisbon and Pravda in Moscow, in both instances the
OWI and U. S. press censorship were made to look ridiculous,
reports ot the Cairo and Tehran conferences held strictly for
luter release in this country, were proaacast an over uie worm
from England and Russia. .
No wonder Elmer Davis was (and still is) sore, one or nis
friends here thinks Elmer will now carry out his threat to quit.
"Ed" Hovt of the Oregonlan. second In command to Davis, has
resigned they say and is back, or soon will be on his old job
guiding the destinies of Oregon's greatest morning daily.
Whoever is responsible for the flamboyant build up of these
two United Nation conferences, particularly on the radio, should
be the ones to step out with proper apologies.
If there is nothing more In the official report tomorrow irom
Tehran than there was from Cairo, then here is one of the most
colossal publicity flops in all history.
For days. and nights. it was stated a Dreatn-taKing, Diooa-
curdling, history-shattering announcement would soon be made
only comparable, in its effect on the Axis, to the effect of Pearl
Harbor-on the allied world two years ago. -
The entire country started to speculate and wonder and get
prepared for a terrific wallop in the political news realm of this
global conflict. Some thought Turkey was to come in, others that
Stalin woud declare war on Japan, still others that some German
exile government would be formed and sue for peace.
Well, of course, ANY of these things MIGHT happen tomorrow.
But judging Tehran by Cairo, none of them will. Cairo's report
on the war against Japan was merely a rehash of what everyone
at all familiar with the allied aims knew has been the allied
program for two years past at least. In fact the terms laid down
were almost identical with the demands of the state department
regarding Japan two months before that sneak-attack on Pearl
harbor. Secretary Hull then told Japan to get out of China and
abandon all dreams of an expanding empire gained by force,
that ultimatum undoubtedly convinced Japan the time had come
to FIGHTI .
And now It Is played up as something sensational and utterly
unexpected. It is hard to, believe the exprienced newspaper men
in u. w. i. were in any way responsible tor this long-winded
and cock-eyed build-up, whoever was should be aeleased from
'intelligence ' and transferred to the reeducation and regeneration
department!
The Sunday Chronicle gives three lines to the fact Grant High
defeated Klamath for the state football title, the score being 6-0.
This will be a heavy blow for our Tule Lake neighbors" who
were as football mad this year as Medford was when Prink Cal
lison turned out champion teams as regularly as -the trees shed
leaves in the Fall. Apparently Grant was able to get the 6 points
they got In the first contest In Klamath but the Klamath boys
could not get their 7. Wonder how the False Friends champ "GR"
came out? J - . R. W. R.

c 1 o t h es and
the children's,
canning etc.,
yet
"During the
oj. Braay final months
of my last pregnancy I had ex
cruciating 'false labor pains.' To
alleviate this I tackled a job I
had wanted done a long time
I got a crowbar and ripped out
some kitchen cabinets and re
built them in a new location. I
also bought lumber and built
two desks and seats for the
children's room. When ' friends
commented ... I wish you'd
preach to some lazy, spoiled,
'delicate women that work will
cure what keeps so many of
them whining."
A good many women showing
that tendency keep up with the
Jonses, have learned "that lesson
for themselves In the past two
or three years. Compelled to do
more or less of their own house
work, they presently discover
that their familiar complaints
are disappearing and they are
beginning actually to enjoy life.
That crowbar was two much
for Mrs. L. K. D., 32 years old,
mother of five children, aged
three to nine, expecting her
sixth blessed event in the sprir.g,
all healthy. She turns somer
saults every day, has a school
girl complexion, can touch her
toes with her fingers without
bending her knees, and I im
agine can touch her nose with
her thumb without flexing her
fingers. She gets this off her
chest:
"When I read about the wo
man who removed cupboards
with the crowbar and rebuilt
them, to chase away false labor
pains, I just wondered what the
Lord made man for.
I do my own work washing,
Ironing, cooking, taking care of
CROWBAR STUFF
my family, etc. But before I
tear down cupboards with crow
bar I'd take my kids for a walk,
or play a game with them."
These six kids will not know
or realize until they are several
years older what a fine mother
they have. Crowbar or no crow
bar, these two American moth
ers are eminently qualified to
teach American girls or women
a lesson which too many of them
never learn or learn, only when
it is too late.
Incidentally, neither ot these
.young mothers gives an inkling
of how her huband provides the
dough I fancy pop doesn't take
much time off from his job to
go fishing. If either of them
reads this I'd like to hear from
him confidentally, about it

any sign of hernia. I lost Just one
day from work throughout the treat
ment. I thank you. (A. Q. J.)
Answer Most of the Industrial
Compensation boards now approve of
the Injection treatment. The U. S.
Army surgeon-general's department
doesn't care whether a man has be.n
cured by Injections or by operation.
Progressive physicians everywhere are
now curing as large a' percentage 3f

they can cure by the radical opera

Letter From Washington
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member ol Congress From Oregon
Washington, D. C, Dec. 7
(Special Correspondence) The
now famous General Patton in
p!dent caused quite a stir here.
It was discussed on the floor of
both houses ot congress and ev
erywhere I went neoDl were
talking about It. Other and more
Important news has now shoved
the Pa Hon story aside and, I
hop, the affair may soon be
forgotten.
By way of a final round-up of
gossip and comment about the
incident, here is the gist of the
talk here: Patton Is known as
an exhibitionist and something
of a bully; there were several
similar incidents more than
two; the army handled the en
tire affair badly, which resulted
in unusually bad public reaction.
Summary: Patton Incident unim
portant, an Isolated unusal case,
ia problem for army discipline
and is not a case for trial by
congress or commentators.
,
THERE Is less opUmlsm and
"early peace" talk around Wash
ington, now than tor the last
several months. Recent confer
ences have not had the effect of
bringing out war end' talk
Strangely enough there seems to
be less interest in these confer
ences than in previous ones. This
is doubtless due to the fact that
the novelty of such mectlnns
has worn off. Fact ia these meet
ings are the most important de
velopments of the. war to date.
It Is assumed the result of them
will be a flat, clear and positive
statement to our enemies as to
exactly what they may expect
for their future. Japan has al
ready been' told and in no un
certain terms. Before this letter
appears in print it is likely the
statement to the Germans will
have been released. It is believed
here that this statement will
have a direct and definite bear
ing upon the length ot the Eu
ropean phase of the war. The
German people have never been
told, by us, at least, what un
conditional surrender will mn
to ;nem and to their future
lives. Their own leaders have
apparently told the German peo
ple that defeat means slavery
and worse thus forcing Ihcm to
accept the lesser ot two evils
to keep on fighting hoping tor
some breaks and an ultimata re
laxation of terms.
Sine we do not, of course,
contemplate the enslavement ot
the German people or of any oth
er people, but merely want to
sea to it that the German lead-
