The "fern nine influence" is apt to bring out pipe styles ' that look like their hats, with a lipstick In the stem. If they are careless like the men, who put lighted pipes In their pockets, they will be traipsing down the street, with a peck-size handbag on tire. Still no word about Herr Hit ler, his whereabouts or health. Some hold nothing aili this monster, that can't be cured by United Nations promises not to jail or hang him, for his cussed ness. "Hard luck still pursues Har ry Thomas, who has a painfully smashed thumb.' Last September he was shot at for a buck."

Last year, the same thing hit him 84 days before Santa Claus. WHO WOULDNTT (The Dalles Chronicle) 'Why does Butts look sad? The reason Is plain. He had a prize turkey almost as large as any condor. It was the delight of his eye, In fact of both of them, and he had often In gazing at his favorite bird let his thoughts wander to the bright Thanksgiving day when' ha should absorb portion of ' him Ha will never set him . more, for the turkey was, but ' . Is not. Someone took him." (00 Yrs. Ago Col.) . .. . "' Sweden and Germany plan "to enter into an exchange -of opinions" on how Swedish inter ests In the Baltlo can be com sidered. Inasmuch, as Russia will have the main say in the Baltic, when the shooting ends, this Is a waste of opinions. The "ex change of opinions" is quite a drop for the Swedes. Through two world wars, professing a ' great love of peace, and neutral ity, they waxed prosperous, sell ing munitions and other needs of war to Germany.. . Loose wildcats in Kentucky are keeping children of the ' mountain districts out of school. The varmints even scare their Pappy's. What they need is a few swigs of Oregon moonshine the kind reputed to cause a rabbit to spit, (ugly word, re member), in a wildcat's eye. I a a In Paris, there 'are no Ameri can cigarettes for soldiers or civilians, although the "black market" has them at $4 per pack.

S Matt fnouue flaol Mfc ' Should Hirohito Be Hung? Emperor worship fanatics. I demand ti Slip must I the death the D&lace from Blent. Two and Isf must be leveled. Unconditional surrender without total destruction of the Jap's false incarnation of a God who rules the universe is insufficient. Jap children are taught to die for the emperor. Hang the emperor, I say, and kill the hokus-pokus divinity of the 124th square domed crack-pot burr-head descendant of the sun goddessl The above is from a statement by James R. Young, author of "Behind the Rising Sun" and "The Road to Tokyo" as a part of the "Wake Up America" series, conducted by the American Economic founda tion of New York City. " It is a tvnical example of modern war psychology. At the close of World War No. I, even Premier Lloyd George joined in the demand that the late Kaiser be hung and all older boys and girls will recall the popu lar Civil War ditty "We will hang Jeff Davis to a sour-apple treel" .

For as certain as war demands, the coming of them. Emneror Wilhelm was peace until his death in Holland. Jefferson DaviS after a few vears in rjrisdn was let out on bail with none other than his bitter Greely, as one of his bondsmen! ., CMPEROR Hirohito moreover probably had no - more to do with the starting of this war and its subsequent conduct, than the King of Siam. For the Emperor is merely a living symbol as far as the gov ernment of Japan is concerned. To hang him would make him a national martyr, far more potent an in fluence over the people of Japan dead, than alive. NO, let the fire-eaters and witch-burners like James R. Young have their rhetorical fling while the fighting is on. It does no good, except as an emotional safety valve, but on the other hand perhaps does little if any harm. , Finally when the fighting has ended, and peace reitms aeain. as has always happened before, so this time, wiser counsels and saner judgments will prevail. .Thanksgiving KB. Broadcast So manv inauiries have come, to this office, par ticularly from those "in outlying districts who have been unable to get tickets, as to whether Or not there would be a broadcast of the big Thanksgiving Day game with Gresham that the Mail Tribune has ar ranged for such a broadcast starting shortly before the 2 p. m. kick-off Thursday afternoon. For the real football fan hearing a play-by-play broadcast is no satisfactory substitute f.or being there in the grand stand or on the side lines but it is a lot better than nothing; and everything points to the fact the game wil be a "sell-out" longv before the whistle blows. This broadcast has been arranged therefore, in the nature of a public service by this newspaper. K.M.E.D. is generously cooperating by contributing half the time while the Mail Tribune purchases the remaining half. ' - A Great Opportunity President Roosevelt has, make, his 4th term better three, as far as his domestic administration's con cerned. For one can hardly believe he intends to be a can didate for a 5TH term. And if this is true then tion for him to play politics mind. WE believe all close and tVia rrliriVal ovonta bit V y Vi 1 Vi.lA4 fTVVU V VaW t-vW uwwmmvj ' 1 agree that Mr. Roosevelt's great failing has been his constant placing of politics above principle his in sistence upon always doing pedient even though it might be neither desirable nor wise. i .

F. D. R. and Wages When the war ends and in Europe at least it can't last very much longer the try will be inflation. Nothing will contribute a rapid increase in wages est single factor in the increase of prices, and the rapid increase, of prices adds up to inflation. e e e e a TTHAT is plain enough. But what isn't so plain is m just how strongly the White House will back Economic Stabilization Director Vinson and War Labor Board Chairman Davis in their announced de termination to keep the "Little Steel" formula frozen and continue at all costs to "hold the line." Organized labor now in convention assembled de mands the abandonment of the Little Steel formula. Immediate increase in wages is also demanded. be broken among 70,000,000 of all Hlrohlto'i family.

' . , : , a a a IN other words the pressure upon that "great friend of American labor" just returned to the White House for four more years, is going to be tremendous. As Chairman Vinson declares: "We can not afford to relax our efforts. So long as the war absorbs half our production we must hold prices at their present level in order to preserve the purchasing power of the workers' pay envelope." ' , . . a a ABSOLUTELY true. What does an. increase in " wages profit if the purchase price-level ia-there-by increased in even greater proportion? On the other hand of course, if wages are kept down, prices the cost of living must be kept down. It is a terrific task. The attitude President Roosevelt finally takes to ward it will pretty clearly demonstrate, whether he is to be primarily the statesman or the politician for the next four years.

BOSS HASTbEST REFERENCES Boston (U.PJ In desperation, a Boston restaurateur posted this sign in his window: "Wanted: two waitresses; owner will fur nish good references.". WALLLACE OFFERS JOBS AFTER WAR Chicago, Nov. 21 (U.PJ Vice President Henry A. Wallace told the convention of the Congress of Industrial Organizations today that "possibly a -modification of tax laws" would aid in obtain ing a post-war employment goal of 60,000,000 jobs in America. "Large old concerns must be prevented from increasing al ready over-large pools of dead capital," he said. ' "Vital young concerns must be given an incentive to employ more People. Little men with big ideas must be given a chance to employ labor. To meet this prob lem means that the post-war. daring overall concept must be put promptly to work. Without such concept vigorously carried out, some form of government socialism is a certainty." During his address, Wallace was interrupted several times by the crowd of 2,000. chantine "Wallace in '48." Wallace urged labor to stay in politics and warned that "If we lose on the Jobs front there is serious danger that we shall also lose on the permanent peace front." v Earlier Lt. Gen. Brehon Som ervell, commander of the army service forces, told the conven tion that 100,000 workers are needed in war plants producing essential fighting equipment, E Washington, Nov. 21-(U.R)-t-The house turned today to con sideration of a measure to re vive the federal crop Insurance program with no serious opposi tion expected from the members who succeeded in killing it last spring. ' House leaders believed the bill, sponsored by the late Chair man Hampton P. Fulmer of the house - agriculture committee, would be approved and sent to the senate 'ate today or tomor row. Both political parties have endorsed proposals to reinstate the program. Under the federal crop Insur ance act, wheat had been insured for flv,e years and cotton for two by 2,100,000 farmers before congress eliminated the program from 1944 agriculture depart ment funds. Opposition developed because of losses suffered by the gov ernment insurance corporation. Indemnities totaling approxi mately $80,000,000 were paid to 588,000 farmers compared with about $52,000,000 in premiums received.
