(U.R) The senate has confirmed the nomination of Mrs. Grace Gavin Lewis, register of land office, The Dalles, Ore. Indomitable Spirit The genial, 'able general of the U. S. Air Corps, "Han" Arnold believes that continued bombing of Japan will pay even greater dividends than bombing of Germany. It should be emphasized that the general based his thesis upon Japan s lack or lacilities to repair bombed installations and not a crumbling of Japanese spirit in the race shown a much greater willingness to surrender than have the Sons of Heaven. TOKYO radio recently called upon the Japanese 1 people to "project their indomitable spirits at the enemy, who will suffer internal fears that will cause defeat before they get into the fight". Tokyo broad casters added that the Occidental mind, of course. will not understand this great Oriental power." , Indomitable spirit is the senseless suicidal spirit of the Japanese will cer tainly lengthen this sanguinary struggle. But practical Americans, while proud of their own "indomitable spirit" in a crisis such as this, will prefer to "project" bombs from B-29s and shells from Halsey's task force. Bayonets and bullets finally decide most battles. H.G. , ,. Post-War Housing Boom While lumber is used for everything from swift Mosquito bombers and deadly PT boats to great cantonments such as Gamp White during wartime, not to mention cellulose for explosives, rosin for shrapnel and plastics for countless war uses, the end of the war will not see much slackening of production tempo in Oregon's woods and mills. Spearheading post-war activity for lumber produc ers will be home building, and, the heartening predic tion of the National Housing administration that a 20-year boom will follow the war should please those who live to southern Oregon.

Much of Jackson county's prosperity, in indus try and tourist trade, stems from the forests. This will be especially true in the post-war era. H.G. Letter From Wcishingtbri . By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member oi Congress From Oregon Washington, D. C, Dec. 9, 1044 As this is written, the situation with respect to the re organization of the state depart ment has not been cleared. We have a new secretary of .state, but he does not have an under secretary nor does he have assist ants. Appointments to flu these places were made by the presi dentone under-sccretary and three assistant secretaries. Such appointments must be ratified by the senate. When the four names were presented, the senate sent all of them back to committee for further study and hearings. Without doubt all four names will again be submitted to the senate during the coming week. The general Impression re garding the senate's refusal to approve immediately the four assistants for Stettlnlus is that each of the four had a few sena tors opposed to him. The total number of these to some one or two or three of the nominees was, of course, sufficient to pre vent favorable action upon the four as a group. Apparently MacLeish had the most opposi tion although each of the other three came in tor a share. The vote was 37 to 27. It Is unfortunate that this dif ficulty has arisen at this time. Our country is in a serious situa tion In its foreign affairs. - We need the greatest possible unity and efficiency in our state de partment, but we do not have it. Meanwhile routine legislation Is being ground out in both houses. The house will likely finish everything that is sched- tiled by the end of next week (December 16th), but adjourn - or dereat Germans nave important in warfare, and necessary in this industry the biggest building booni . ...'. . . . .;, . .. ment Is not expected until the following week since the senate must act on house legislation arid soma conference renorts have not been submitted and re main to be acted upon. Both houses passed the bill to maintain the rate of social secur ity taxes at one percent. It is known that the president is dis pleased with this action and may veto the bill. If he chooses to do so, the president can keep congress in session until the 20th by delaying his full ten days be fore signing or vetoing the bill. This bill passed the house by a S to 1 record vote. , Yesterday the senate passed It by a vote of 47 to 19. There is clearly enough support for the bill to pass it over the president's veto. Last week I mentioned the above bill. Since it is quite evi dent that the "bill will become law, I want to repeat that the freezing of the tax rate does not In any way affect the social security benefit payments. It will not impair the fund anrt tt will not endanger the future of tne social security program. I make these statements as com- tng from people I believe to be quaiuiea impartial experts on the subject. The ONLY effect of the law will be to save you irom naving an additional one per cent deducted from your paycheck if your employment is under social security. Employ ers likewise will not have to pay tha additional ona percent. The bill by Congressman Bar rett of Wyoming to abolish the Jackson Hole National Monu ment, which was created by 1 executive; order early in 1843, was debated yesterday and will be up for final consideration Monday. Although the bill Is local to Wyoming in this In stance, we people of Oregon have a very definite Interest In It. If the executive Is permitted to go on making large areas into parks (a monument is about the same as a National Park), we shall likely see such a move In our state.' I am actively support ing the Barrett bill. o a o . Both houses recently passed the post-war highways bill, and It Is now In conference. The con ference finished its work yester day, but the report will not be available until Monday. I am Informed, however, that the total sum ($1,500,000,000) was agreed upon and that the pro gram will begin in the fiscal year after the war ends. Another point of agreement was that not more than one-third of right-of- way will be borne by the federal government. It is not anticipated that either the house or senate will disagree with the confer ence report. In other words, the final bill as whipped into shape by the conferees will quite like ly be accepted and will become law. :-. . Livestock Portland.

"THEN again, Chairman Theo- dore Francis Green, Demo crat, is rather uppishly investi gating Republican election vic tories in Ohio and Indiana, not any Democratic victories, of course. But this reflects the un usual personal inclinations of Senator Green, rather than political movement. He thinks that if the Republicans won any where, there must have been something crooked about it. These are exceptions. The broader moderating gen eral tone is illustrated by an inner incident Involving the White House and Senator Byrd. Mr. R. thought he had a little humorous irony in store for the Virginian, whose solid democra tic state had developed many un expected Dewey counties in the election, and who, somewhat Ironically, had been appointed chairman of the inauguration committee, which was to handle the expenses for Mr, Roosevelt's fourth assumption of onice; fur. Roosevelt smilingly, at a press conference after election, said he was economizing on the inaugu ration, would hold, it at the White House for the first time to save building usual stands at the capitol. He would not need the S25.000 which had Deen appropriated, would spend only 82,000. MR. R. HANDLED the matter in such a way as to ruffle and refute Byrd, the economizer who had so often accused the president of being a spendthrift, and the papers played it that way. But a few days later there came from the white house statement which sounded almost like an apology. It said Byrd's committee had not known tne president planned to save money on the inauguration when it ap propriated the $25,000. No one had asked- for such' a gratuitous statement of minor fact. What could it mean? Well, it seems the literal minded Byrd had taken the pres ident at his word on the $2000 limit. He had told his clerks to spend that much and no more. The president was only kidding, or made a bad estimate, or somc-'i ot 0,al eRtch ot PPrximate thlng. The white house found a, 47,000,000 pounds.- . simple inauguration could not 0,t Mail 'Tribune Want Ada. presented by the Army Ground of the Treasury Department.. : ? be held for $2000 or anything like that.

(U.R) Complete returns from the No vember election today showed conclusively that President Roosevelt won his fourth term election independently of the so-called solid south and pointed unerringly to the dozen states where the Republicans, have their best chance to make a 1948 break-through to the White House. Here are the popular , vote presidential figures: Roosevelt ......28,429,883 Dewey 21,891,748 Thomas ' 76,442 Teichert '48,018 Watson 68,130 The scattered votes included 135,439 - cast by anti-Roosevelt "Texas regulars" and 17,763 anti-Roosevelt votes cast for Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va.. In the official ' returns certified from Tennessee it - was noted that Cox county was missing.. The total 1944 popular vote was 47,471,245 cdmpared with 49,815,312 in 1940, the differ ence being 2,344,067. Mr. Roosevelt's plurality over Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, the Re publican candidate, was 3,510, 174 votes. His majority over his combined opposition, 3,181,359 votes. The percentage division of the popular vote was 53.72 for Mr. Roosevelt to 46.28 for Dewey. Their division of electoral votes was: Roosevelt 432, Dewey 99. In contrast to the relatively close percentage division of pop ular votes, Mr. Roosevelt won 81.35 per cent of the electoral vote, Dewey only 18.65 per cent. The returns spotlight the vir tual extinction . of traditional minor protest parties, the disap pearance of the communist party from the ballot and the rise of the new, left-wing parties in New York state to significant Daiance-of-power nosition.i Mr. Roosevelt won 36 states to Dewey's 12.
