On Mali Trlbuue Want Ada. ill I'VE GOT TO HAVE IT!..." In the midst of thelf busy war time Job, railroad people are Often called upon to do things not generally considered "in the line of duty." For example, there was the case of the mother whom we shall call Mrs. Parker. ' Mrs. Parker was standing In the Third 0 Townsend Station In San Francisco that morning, waiting to board the stream- . lined Daylitht lot Los Angeles. Bhe had small baby in her arms and she was obviously worried about something. As train time approached, the grew frantic. Looking wildly ' about her, she saw a man in a tray uniform and rushed up to him. Tve got to have my suit easel" she cried. 1 can't go to Los Angeles without It" The man in gray the eta ttonmaster tried to soothe her. "Where did you leave your suit rase?" he asked. "Maybe we can help you find it "I didn't leave it anywhere. My husband was supposed to i bring it down to the station and the train's about to leave and he hasn't shown up." "Well, that la problem," said the atationmaster. "But maybe . It isn't too serious. Lota of peo ple travel to Los Angeles on the Dmytitht without luggage. It's a day train, you know." "But you don't understand," pleaded the mother. Then she paused. "You look like mar ried man," she said, and leaned over to whisper something In his ear. "Oh, I seel" The atationmas ter smiled. "You go ahead and get on the train, and I'll see if we can't help you out. Be sure to tell the conductor about it and give him your name and seat number. I'll do the rest" When the Daylight stopped at Salinas, a breathless man got aboard and handed a package to the conductor. "Here they are," he said, "and it wasn't easy. Next time they'll probably ask me to dig up pair of nylon stockings!" The conductor took the pack age to Mrs. Parker. "Here are the diapers," he said. "The ata tionmaster wired our man in Salinas and he got them here just in time." Mrs. Parker and the baby couldn't say a word. This story doesn't have any thing to do with our part In the war effort It just shows that railroads are more than trains and tracks. Railroads are peo ple. And no matter how busy railroad people are, they still have time to be thoughtful, and understanding, and helpful. Arnthtr tr. trery ,1 th relfree' eitn ens' wem.n at Amerkc pasfiihatfay S-IP The friendly Southern Pacific BY-PASSED JAPS ON PACIFIC ISLES SERIOUS PROBLEM Over Half Million Left to Breed, Colonize; Who Is Going to Root Them Out? By Lyle C. Wilson United Press Correspondent' Washington. Oct. 31 (U.PJ Well over 500,000 Japanese sol diers and camp followers have been by-passed In the Pacific campaign and left behind to sub sist, breed and colonize if they can. a fact which today is be ginning to pose the United Na tions some tough and disputable questions. The questions are wno is going to root them out and whether they are to be permitted by breeding for some years to over run the areas which they enter ed as conquerors and potential slave masters. Problem Studied More specifically, some thought is being given here to the probability that the Ameri can people would balk at any long, bloody and costly back tracking operations. Such would be involved if the United States army, navy and air forces were assigned the job of clearing out the Japanese from Pacific areas. most of which formerly were Dutch or British colonies, after the Japanese homeland is licked. Americans are not the only ones thinking about this prob lem of the by-passed ' Japanese. Sir Thomas Blarney, commander- in-chief of Australian military forces, told a Sydney press Con ference yesterday that the Pa cific war would not be over until the last of the Japanese were cleaned out of by-passed areas. He said these isolated en emy troops already were under taking to colonize some areas, beginning the cultivation of rice and collection of livestock. There has been some think ing here, accompanied by some persuasive expressions of view, that it would be up to the Dutch, the British and others with co lonial interests in the Pacific to assume that bloody post-war ob ligation. There may have been intimations from London and perhaps the Dutch government that American help in those op erations is expected. The nurrv ber of by-passed Japanese is not precisely known. Gen. Douglas MacArthur said on October . 20 that 600,000 of them would be cut off without hope of support from the homeland as the Philip pine operations developed. Oth er estimates put the figure high er. i Mar Let British Military experts here concede that the British have not the men or other means to go back through the islands after Japan itself Is defeated for a big-scale, quick clean-up of the by-passed garrisons. But they estimate that the British could do the job in time and there appears to be considerable sentiment here for letting them do it. Blarney's remarks were sig nificant. Likewise was the Oct 23 Invitation of the French war ministry, in Paris, for all re serve officers and non-commissioned soldiers to -volunteer for service in the war against Japan after the defeat of Germany. On the same date, spokesmen for The Netherlands In London said that Dutch troops, Including men who lived under German occu pation In their homeland for four years, were preparing to Join in the far eastern fight against the Japanese.

Carr of Colorado, speaking at Medford high school last night in behalf of the republican na tional ticket, said that the hope of the future is based on main taining the principles of Indivi dual freedom for which our American ancestors fought. "It must be strict application to these doctrines or bowing to totalitarianism in some form or other," he emphasized, ' The present administration, said ex-Governor Carr, has scrapped the constitution. "Theo, retlcally, , the government is made up of three branches, ex ecutive, legislative and judicial. The president has controlled the legislative branch as well as the Judicial by simply Issuing ex ecutlve orders to take the place of law. At one time he even did his best to gain control of the supreme court, but even his most faithful followers ,. refused to help him there." Carr quoted Senator. Joseph O'Mahoney, democratic senior senator of Wyoming, from his article, "America Is Being Made Over and We Won't Like It," which appeared in Forbes MagS' zlne and later condensed in the August, 1943, Reader's Digest. In paying tribute to Governor Thomas Dewey, with whom he is personally acquainted, Carr said that if there Is any doubt as to which presidential candi date la the more fitted for public office, "you've only to compare their records as governors of New York." Ex-Governor Carr flew down from Washington state Sunday accompanied by his pilot, Wll liam J. Spear, of Cheyenne Wyoming, and his daughter, Cyn thia, as co-pilot. He was intro duced last evening by Niel R. Al len, republican state chairman of Oregon. CHRISTMAS'S ADD JOY Superior, Wis.
