I m Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry The fair sex are now "rolling their own" cigarettes, and, a right messy Job they are making of It, with a half-sack full of debris left In their laps, after hkIi nnomtlnn. Thev can roll their stockings so they will stay! up, but not their cigarettes so they will stay together. Here is a chance for the only cow-girl In the county, who can "roll 'em" with one hand, to start a Smoke While You Learn school, e e The latest Herr Hitler rumor from Stockholm says the outlaw is no longer able to hear, nor "use tones of irony and con tempt," or his ' "famous false heartiness." With all the other ills to which he has allegedly been heir in the past six months, he should be well bunged up, and in need of a deputy to chew table legs for him, when angry. e e OP ALL THINGS1 (American Mag.) "Once, while still In Russia, I saw a pair of slacks Illu strated in an American maga zine and made a pair like them for my vacation. When I made my entrance at the re sort in them the manager re quested they be removed." A Great Achievement General Douglas MacArthur may be a grand-stand-er, a show-off and a snob some of the boys who have returned from the South Pacific claim he is. But there is this to be said for him custom-made chapeau and all he gets RESULTS I And he has been getting results ever since he made his midnight get-away from Bataan. And now, as he promised, he is not only back, but he is only as far from Manila the heart of the Philip pines, as Roseburg is from Medford and with 4 bridgeheads already established! Great work gen eral hats off to you and your men ! , . A CCORDING to the press dispatches this landing, f" like nearly all others in the South Pacific, took the Japanese "completely by surprise." Just how tnat could be is difficult for this department to under stand. But where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. And as far as we are aware these sur prise claims have never been officially denied. With such extensive bombing preparations, how ever, it does seem strange the Japs could be "sur prised" by any landings in the areas bombed unless oerhaps the bombed areas cover so much territory, the Japs can only guess at the precise objective and their guessing processes are as defective as their strategy. HOWEVER, that may be, this successful landing at Lingayen gulf is a great achievement It again demonstrates that the United States now has not only the largest and finest navy the world has ever seen, and one of the strongest armies, but has attained a masterv of amphibious warfare which only two or three years ago, no military expert in Christ- landom believed possible. This achievement is probably the outstanding triumph of this country in World War No. II, a su preme tribute to American industrial and inventive skill, imagination, fortitude and resourcefulness. There were those Yankee landings on the Norman dy coast, which even Joseph Stalin declared, we quote: "All the history of war does not know any such under taking so broad in its conception, so grandiose in its scale, so masterly in its execution. And now six months later the U. S. landings in the Philippines! The American people surely have rea son to be proud of what the least war-like nation in the world has been able to accomplish in less than 40 .months against two of the most war-like nations ever known! Blue January The largest local throng to assemble since a steam shovel dug the telephone company basement gathered Tuesday p. m. to watch Tod Porter weild a mop in his tonsorial parlor. The amateurishness of the mopper did not hold the morbidly cur ious long. Mist Alaska Robin arrived the first of the week on her annual visit to the Cthse Lawn and East Main oaks. "We, of the north. have no prejudices against spar rows, as sparrows," she said. "Some say they chase away the song birds. From some of the singing, I have heard around here, I don't blame the spar rows." She wiU fly south for a short stay, then hurry back to Juneau to be the first robin of spring. H. Flewher, the late demon baker, after an extended stay in India, is now In Italy, station- ea only a few miles away from G. (Cannonball) Jackson. The presence of the pair of local whizzes In the genera vicinity of Mt. Vesuvius, will cause the . natives to hope all three forces don't get active at the same time. A portion of the California press sees In the proposed na tional service act, a step towards "civilian dictatorship" in Amer ica. As the voters, in the past 12 years have shown a tendency to try any thing once, If properly soft-soaped, It could be. e e e BIGNEDi 'OBSERVER' (S. F. Chronicle) "I was present at the Pres idential Follies the evening that the "eagle eyed" police men made the "pinch." They sure must have wonderful eye sight or a vivid imagination for although I had what I con sldered an advantageous seat I saw very little that I can not see any day in a street car when members of the fair sex sit with their legs crossed." (From a letter). e London commentators are still heckling Gen. Elsenhower, for the German break-thru on the northern front in KlirnnA a n H lauding Marshal Montgomery for halting Von Rundstedt's drive This is not very "sporting" of the British scribblers. Many can recall when Marshall Rommel the nazi pride, and Gen. Mont gomery were chasing each other u. and down the North African desert, like a couple of basket- Dan teams.

Too Let to Classify UJO News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Paul Mallon January occupies somewhat the same place in the year Monday does in the week the dominant tinge is blue. It is Blue-Monday and its Blue-January too for with the holidays over, the holiday bills coming in, income taxes to compute and income taxes to pay well it isn't a very cheerful prospect particularly for the taxpayer. And who ISN'T a tax payer these days! . CO THERE is likely to be, a greater temptation to turn in those war bonds for cash this month, than any other month in the year. Well here's a tip don't do it unless you HAVE to! And by "HAVE TO we mean unless it is an ab solute financial necessity. Not only because keeping those bonds is the best thing for you selfishly and financially you lose a profit if you sell them before they are due but best for the country and the men at the iront too. I7E DON'T pretend to understand the intricacies of high finance national, international or otherwise. And it is more than ever a Chinese puzzle with this present war-tinancing going on. But we do understand the more this habit of buy ing war-bonds one day and cashing them in the next GROWS; the more uncertain and dangerous the fi nancial future of the country is bound to be, and the more diiticult for our government to figure what can be relied on financially, and what can't be. e e e e WE HAVE every sympathy with those who are in nrtcntivn tivuiHln ortrl oftno.11r W17.1?.T"i fVin money they have placed in bonds. Ok let them sell them. But we have no sympathy with those who are in no great distress financially, sign blithely on.the dot ted line when the solicitor comes around, then as soon as a decent interval elapses turn in the bonds pur chased, and the individuals cash balance in the bank is about as it was before, only said individual is riven credit for having made a contribution to the war effort he actually never made. DERHAPS this should not be termed "cheating" but it is certainly the depths of cheapness. It is like offering a soldier in distress, a gun and then be fore he can use it. taking it back attain. So if you are tempted so N soon after making all these fine New Year's resolutions to turn in those" war-bonds you just purchased resist it such moral fibre will not only pay you cash, but spintual cuw dends before another Blue January rolls around. Washlneton. Jan. 10. Trying to dispel some international fog yesterday, I reported that inas- mucn as nus sla delayed the Dumbarton Oaks agree ment, and is now sealing off Central Europe with her armies, she probably would be glad to join the clublike Dum barton world order in the coming promised negotiations which Is to complete the club charter by April (we hope). The club naturally would guarantee her gains forever with arms and perpetuate a postwar Europe, which directly or indirectly Is now dividing spheres of influence between the Russians and British, with the Russians in possession of the lion's share. Will this nation, the senate or even the administration, be so strong for the coming char ter to preserve forever what is something short of our an nounced ideals? What do we get out of it? Well, we get the mandated islands of Japan In the Pacific. No question of that. We also get our own hemisphere influence, or recognition of it, as we al ready had it in fact. The com ing Mexico City meeting is sup posed to bring Argentina around and establish a front of diplo matic solidarity on our longi tudes. Thus the coming world charter will direct our vision westward and south. We are defeating Japan with out the assistance of the Rus sians. The help we are getting from the British will raise some question of postwar British in fluence in the orient (Hong kong, etc.,) which must be set tled, and there is a communist army in China. Yet the results of the war and the proposed charter give us the top position westward and southward, which we clear ly do not have in Europe, Af rica and most of Asia (India). Our future, under the current conception of things here, would see, therefore, to lie in those directions, but not too far, perhaps not too deep into Asia. BIG TRUCK BILL IN FIRST GRIST BEFORE SENATE Salem, Ore., Jan. 10 XU.B The Oregon legislature was of ficially down to serious work today, following two days of or ganization, preliminaries and the introduction of bills which wiU start the wheels rolling this week. The senate received an early session slate of bills yesterday afternoon when, seven were in troduced. Among them were the so-called "Big Truck" bill, which would impose permanent limitations on the size and weight of trucks In the state. The bill, brought in by the roads and highways committee, seeks a 50-foot, 54,000 pound and 60 foot, 71,250 pound limit. Would Up Pensions A bill by Sen. Thomas Ma honey, Portland, calls for the lifting of the $40 old age assist ance ceiling. No top limit is pro vided In the bill. Townsend groups have asked for $60. Other action proposals made at the brief sessions yesterday, included in the senate A resolution proposing a tax studying committee, and a re solution which would create a committee to investigate the liq uor control commission of the state, in conformity with the re quest made by Gov. Earl SneU at a join session on the first day. Tax Change Sought Bills to amend income tax laws, providing permission of filing of separate returns by husband and wife in any pro portion they see fit; creating a state hospital in Portland for mentally diseased; construction of a governor's dwelling, not to exceed $100,000; prohibiting gift taxation upon persons who filed tax returns under the now In valid community property law, and to revoke the commury property status and to restore property titles as before. In the house Only two noteworthy meas ures were proposed. One to change filing time for candidates before state elections; the other to validate stickers now In use in lieu of metal automobile li cense plates. 1ERY definitely, I think the v administration will want this arrangement. Mr. Roosevelt Is a little on the Russian side any way. Announcements have sug gested this is about all we can expect to get WIU the senate and the peo ple go for it? They might. The available alternatives may not be pleasant. The arrangement might be presented upon a "take it or get-something-worse" basis. Quite a powerful nation could be maintained within the sights of our new vision, If it is effectively organized. But I think our acceptance all depends upon how fully and convincingly -our hopeful ideal of democracy is held out to the rest of the world, particularly in Europe, by this charter. Unless there are genuine prospects of Atlantic charter idealism, not mere words real freedom of peoples in place of the fake freedom preserved by armed might and directing pow ers, as well as feeding out eco nomic substance to them I do not think the charter can be made very popular In this country. And even put through the senate by sheer force of administration power, it could not endure. Only solutions which answer the yearnings for real freedom in the hearts of men can permanently hold their support. You can feed Europe, as some of our people wish to do, to im prove our prestige and power there. The Chinese have a phrase for such tactics. Church men carrying Christianity to the orient found it sold faster with a bowl of rice. But they also found that not infrequently as soon as the rice ran out, their converts lost zeal. They were called rice Christians. Nothing will take the place of genuineness and soundness in human or International rela- tlons, and the measure of these qualities In the coming agree ment will determine the results, ITALIAN FIGHTING CANCEL C-C MEET Washington, Jan. 10 (U.P.1 The U.

Good to choice Wall Street New York, Jan. , 10 U.F Stocks reversed themselves abruptly in late afternoon deal ings today and climbed to a new high for more than seven years after early softness. Industrial stocks led the up turn, rising to a further new peak since Oct. 25, 1939, as trad ing crossed the million-share mark for the 26th time in the last 31 consecutive sessions. Wall street quarters found no specific development in the day's news to account for the late run up, but there were indications that the period of adjustment after last week's bull movement had run its course. Virtually all of the selling that forced the list down just before Tuesday's close and that manifested itself in the first three hours today was look' ed on as profit-taking. .Today's closing prices on se lected stocks: American Tel. & Tel. . 164V4 Anaconda ..... . 33 Chrysler .. ; 96 Curtiss Wright .6 General Electric 40 General Motors ...... 65 Montgomery Ward 50 Penn.
