It seems the probe, If any, might involve the deputy president, and great military expert H. Hopkins, and his political con niving. There has never been any explanation, as to why, every mention of the name of Thomas Jefferson wss booed at the Chicago convention of the democrats.

Oregonian, - BO Yr. Ago ' Unconditional Surrender? Well, well, WELL - Now no less an authority than Dorothy Thompson comes to the rescue of the San Francisco broadcaster, who maintained the United Nations at Tehran dropped their demand for Germany's unconditional surrender. . . 1 Miss Thompson admits she did not discern this hidden meaning at "first sight" but more careful study has revealed it and the result is what she calls a political "block-buster." - . e e e e THE reasoning behind this conclusion is too long . and involved to go over in detail at this time, but it involves among other things a redefinition of what democracy is. Democracy, according to Miss Thompson, no longer means rule of the PEOPLE. It means the gov ernment "of any nation which is not Nazi or Fascist" This definition allows Russia to be classified as a democratic nation of course, for while the Russian people have nothing to say about their government, that government IS not Fascist or Nazi. A very convenient redefinition-of terms. Miss Thompson continues: . "So I Interpret this declaration as a diploma tio Instru ment framed to Impress and encourage those military forces in Germany and the satellite countries who dealre to end the war under conditions which wlU win the support of the overwhelming masses of their peoples and assure the future survival of their nations in a system of collective security It is understandable that most commentators including . myself, failed to grasp the significance of this document at ' - first reading. We were waiting for a statement addressed to us In a language we would understand. It is addressed else . where in a language the AXIS powers will understand." So that is it! '.. . ' But we believe many people still are in the dark as to precisely what the Axis powers now DO under stand I . . . .' . e e DOES Miss Thompson mean the German generals and the soldiers of the Wehrmacht now "UNDER STAND," that if a program is presented which their people will "overwhelmingly Bupport" and which will assure the survival of Germany "in a system of col lective secrity,"then that plan will be accepted by the . Stalin - Roosevelt - Churchill triumvirate? And peace pn. that basis may be concluded? IF that interpretation IS correct then it IS news, and 1 Tehran was a meeting of history-making import ance. For such an interpretation would completely abandon the Anglo-American policy of refusing any sort of negotiated peace whatever. In other words if this nothing more nor less than Wilson strategy of 1917; an between the German people and the. Nazi dictator ship, with the army supporting the former in - what Mr. Ed Jorgensen, the can clared to be "a great advance in enlightened and con structive statesmanship." DUT we are still from Missouri in this direction. For " if that is what the United Natrons MEANT by their proclamation from Tehran why did not they SAY so? Certainly the peoples of selves derived no such impression from the pro nouncement Then WHY should the peoples of the Axis? Who presumably can't understand the Eng lish language any BETTElv, ' i MO, it will take more than Mr. Jorgensen and Dor- othy Thompson to convince this department that the "unconditional surrender!' of Germany was aban doned at Tehran. - - Of course it MAY have been. Practically , anything COULD have happened be hind those closed doors, and that came out from. them But without more supporting evidence than has been presented to date, such a conclusion, as we see it, is to say the least, extremely far-fetched. No Sich Of course when one really comes down to cases, there is no such thing as For surrender in any tions would be chaos. Some conditions MUST accom pany surrender, or the " restoration of anything approaching law and order following a war would be impossible. . What is really meant surrender not without conditions, but with conditions imposed solely by the conqueror. m m GENERAL GRANT insisted upon General Lee's 'unnnnrlitinnol enrronrlor " Put fhi frirmor im. posed a long list of "conditions" and they were con sidered, by the north at least, as generous ones.

So when and or if Germany "unconditionally" sur renders.. By "unconditional" Messrs. Roosevelt' and' Chur chill have never never meant there would be no con ditions whatever imposed; but merely that Germany would have nothing to say about them, the United Nations and particularly England and America, would determine them, and Germany would be forced to accept them.

M.D. Readers should address Inquiries toi Dr. William Brady., 2SS El C amino. Beverly Hills. Calif. ... BREATHING In this column I have often recommended the practice of belly breathing to steady the nerves. If I may use the term as a layman does, and to b e 1 p restless, tense persons to re lax and -drop off asleep when they go to bed at night. Belly breathing i s natural breath ing, more effi cient than the Or Brady chesty type of breathing which most poorly ed ucated people believe one should cultivate. Chest or thoracic breathing and sedentary life' combine to produce a moderate anoxia. Bel ly or natural breathing and ac tive daily work, play or exer cise combine to produce in creased absorption of oxygen, in creased oxygenation to blood. tissues and cells. It is hardly possible for anypne to ' avoid honest work, physical play or active daily exercise of some kind and remain healthy, nor mal, well balanced. Belly breath ing is exercise, to be sure, exer tion equivalent to drawing up a chair and pushing It back from table three times a day, but you must get much more exercise than that if you wish to prevent or correct rs vgen deficit, an oxia. I believe there is a direct and understandable relation be tween anoxia and anhedonla. Anhedonla is incapacity to en joy life. At any rate it is some thing to think about when you have nothing better to do than ait around and gloom over your troubles. Breathing of air slightly doI- luted with carbon monoxide (from Automobile engines, leaky gas fixtures, faulty burners, etc.) is a common source of mild as phyxia, anoxia, and accounts for many "neurasthenic" manifesta tions or comolaints. The carbon monoxide displaces or crowds out some of the oxygen from the blood and hence the tissues and cells do not receive as much oxygen as they require for nor mal functioning. Another common cause of mild anoxia, In my opinion an opinion based on tests of the blood, not on theory Is exces- News Behind The News By Paul MaUoD (Continued from Page one) handle Wlllkie, or was conniv ing with him, and apparently urging Dr. Lee to run against Senator Connolly (this all being mr. spams' interpretation of vague language). Langer thought ne could expose a eecret connec tion between the White Houae and Wlllkie.

Vermont's Austin Is pro Willkle, and New Hampshire's Bridges Is antl-but-careful on the same subject, yet both have been privately suggesting they are not particularly Interested in going on. To make these reticences even more unanimous from a demo cratic standpoint, the lnnei politicoa have heard that the Hopkins letter was furnished to Spai'ks by democrats Interested In getting Harry Hopkins out of the White House and the orig inal letter Is even now In the hands of that unnamed admin istration official. It the investigation develops this supposition, it will expose a fight against Hopkins within the president's own official fumlly. aaa . , . f"VN the other hand, the charge w has been made by an Interna tlonalist columnist that the book is really isolationist propaganda- writted by isolationist Senator Gerald Nye Instead of its pro fessed author, C.

In fact, the harm- tul effects commonly attributed to "nicotine" are in reality best explained as manifestations of carbon monoxide anoxia. Finally,- calcium shortage, re sulting from over-refinement of modern food and insufficient consumption of milk, cheese and greens (richest food sources of calcium) and insufficient expos ure to sunshine or skyshine (which enables the body to man ufacture its own vitamin D) or insufficient daily intake of vita min D (which is essential for as similation and utilization of cal cium), is directly responsible for numerous "nervous" complaints. An important function of cal cium is to control neuro-muscu-lar Irritability.

Well schooled in the traditions of modern music, having been born and educated in Russia, the singer's exceptionally beautiful and sonorous voice charmed and delighted his hearers. The pro gram followed the generally ac cepted form of a group of classic songs and operatic arias, fol lowed by selections representa tive of the romantic school. A brief intermission was followed by two groups of modern num bers. Belarsky was particularly at home in the great art songs of Russia which he sang with mov ing warmth and deep emotion while the Schubert songs wert also pronounced favorites.
