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.

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.

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

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. :-. .

Washington, Dec. 12 There
has been remarkably little in-

Chairman Dies
Paul MaUon
and his aides
were one day
recently copying some commit
tee records concerning the radi
cals and communist! larsely. in
their two rooms in the house of-
fie buildii g, which they occu
pied for years past. Without no
tice, a house employe appeared
with "orders from Sam Ray-
burn," the speaker, announcing
he wanted these rooms imme
diately. . . V
A crew came In, bundled and
tied all . the' records, removed
them to a . storehouse in the
basement where Dies cannot get
to them. Dies did not complain
and there was nothing in the
papers.
"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

be held for $2000 or anything
like that. To get Byrd to loosen
up more money, it issued prac
tically an apology.

AD VANCE notices of the pres
ident's new program to be
submitted in January do not
justify either the widespread
suspicion that C.I.O. and its radi
cal associates will move in im
mediately to take over the gov
ernment and run it that way,
Perhaps they are being clever
and -holding back until the alert
fears in the country die down,
and Intend to work gradually
and quietly through the coming
four years toward their ends,
but then again, they may realize
they did not win the election,
but Mr. Roosevelt did. At any
rate Mr. Roosevelt seems to be
going so far op the assumption
that he won it. .

Washington, Dec 13. (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
