One bit of proposed tinkering wlU enable speakeasies to make hay while the moon shines, it is claimed. e e Considerable local Interest Is manifested in "Forever Amber," novel dealing with capers of the British, in the time of King Charles. It is a naughty book, banned In Boston, and more popular than the "who dun It" mysteries. It is long-winded yarn, in which all the men are called "varlets," and all the women "wenches." ' Republican leaden meeting last week showed opposition to Gov. Dewey of New York as candidate for the presidency in 1848. It is charged the candi date showed "weakness" as the campaign ended. So did the rank and file who opposed the fourth term aspirant in every possible way, except to vote against him. ;, .. . . "The very unanimity of the chorus condemning the Wallace appointment excites our suspic ion. Rarely is such mass judg ment correct." (Salem States man) Minorities are generally tight, but always lose. . A patriarch was caught roll ing a cigarette yesterday. He said when he first started smok ing them, 60-odd years ago, they were called "coffin-nails," and his boss lectured him dally on wasting man-power hours man ufacturing them. e e e i "MUD IN YOUR EYE" (The Dalles Chronicle) "A new dark horse has sud denly been sprung in the sen atorial fight. Last night some of Col. Sinnott's friends gath ered at the Umatilla house, and after going into caucus, pledged him three votes. The Col. took his honors with be coming modesty, while the other fellows took theirs straight." (50 yrs. ago col.) e e e Vldkun Quisling, the Norway betrayer of his homeland, and Herr Hitler, the Austrian paper hanger, who put him up to trait orous tricks, recently met, Lon don reports. It was described ns "a cordial talk." It must have been. Adolf advised Vldkun Germany must abandon Norway and no longer protect him from the righteous justice of his coun trymen, and the Allies. As a traitor he makes Benedict Ar nold appear trifling, a The' suggestion that Eric A. Johnston, president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce be ap pointed secretary of commerce, instead of Henry Wallace, is too good to be true, or Mr. Johnston to be appointed. He would be a pleasant relief to the nation from the socialistic notions of Henry. Furthermore, he has never been defiant of common sense in government, or any place else. ' e e e "Wanted Skunk stole. Phone e06" (Wanted SF. Chronicle) Steal it yourselfl e e e STATE OF THE UNION "Last week the, Merlin school building had an exciting meet ing, when the teachers and par ents of some certain pupils, and two of the members of the board, were called together, to discuss and learn why, as the question had been asked, it was necessary to call on the deputy sheriff to handle matters of dis cipline here, Instead of the par ents and faculty handling it. And it was stated other matters of great Importance were dis cussed." (Grants Pass Bulletin) When Will Berlin Fall? When will the Russians reach Berlin' Everyone is asking that question, the answers rang ing all the way from ten days to ten months. Of course if the rate of the advance from Warsaw should be maintained the Russians will reach Berlin this week. . , But this seems entirely unlikely and principally for two reasons: One, increased German resistance ana, Two : slowing down of the Red Army advance, . e e TO DATE any all-out German effort to halt the Russian Blitz has apparently not been attempt ed; certainly before Berlin is abandoned it will be Even an army as overwhelming, well led and well equipped, as the Soviet army, can't advance indefi nitely. If there were no German armies to oppose them, the Russians would have to halt sometime be fore reaching Berlin for the bringing up 'of supplies, reformation of units, a general breathing spell, and taking of bearings. ....

If this is true, Berlin might be in Russian hands before Lincoln's birthday. m a at . CTNALLY comes the matter of German morale rjarticularlv army morale. Nazi Germany has been strong on dishing it out, but her army is strictly speaking a professional army, and there is consider able doubt that when all hope of victory has gone, Germany army professionals can or will i akcj it. Their leaders will for they can do nothing else it is fight or be hung for them. But how about the men in the ranks? Will they stick it to the last ditch, choose certain death in preference to retreat? Perhaps. There is little doubt of the (ierman sol diers physical courage. But how about hia MORAL courage? Aye, there's the rub from Hitler's stand point. ' And it takes both to stand up against what the Germans are going to get, not only on the eastern. but the western fronts, in weeks. Those who KNOW what this condition actually is and is going to be and only those can do more than guess as to when the term finis will be written to World War No. 2 in Europe. Then and Now Yes, Thomas Jefferson you and I." He did not have Hitler to worry about but he did have Napoleon. And before 1810 Bounaparte was having the sort of Roman Holiday in Europe that Der Reichsfeuhrer enjoyed until Germany's defeat at Stalingrad. To Mr. Bidwell of Massachusetts, congressman from that state, President "Buonaparte will conquer the world if they do not learn his secret of composing armies of young men only whose enthusiasm and health enable them to surmount all obstacles." "THAT was very like the view of Hitler and his f ana- tinnl To t! f vittt-isv nta tirVi i rtV tirna rrAnAvn 1 lit held in official circles of 1939 to 1942. And then too, all Europe danger of the "enfant U - S mess if the administration to keep the country out of And as long as the United States did keen out of it, Jefferson regarded his own country weak and pov erty stricken as it then was, as truly the promised land. Here is an extract from son at that time to his close friend, a Dr. Jones: "Our difficulties are Indeed great If we consider our selves alone. But when viewed In comparison with those of Europe, they are the Joys of Paradisel In the eternal revo lution of ages the destines have placed our portion of ex istence amid such scenes of tumult and outrage, as no other period within our knowledge has presented. Every govern ment but one on the continent of Europe demolished, a con queror roaming over the earth with havoc and destruction, a pirate (perfidious Albion this time!) spreading misery ana ruin over the face of the ocenn. "Indeed, my friend, ours is a bed of roses. And the sys tem of government which shall keep us afloat amidst the wreck of the world, will be Immortalized in history. "We have, to be sure, our petty squabbles and heart-burnings, and we have something of the blue devils at times, as to those raw-heads and bloody-bones that are eating up other nations. But happily for us the Mammoth can not swim, nor the Leviathan move on dry land: and if we will keep out of their way they can not get at us. If indeed we choose to place ourselves within the scope of their tether a gripe of the paw or a flounce of the tall may be our fortune. Our business certainly Is to be still."

VICKS VA'TRO'NOL t Aetna Telephotof DISPUTED BILLS UP FOR HEARING GENERATE HEAT Salem, Ore., Jan. 80 (U.R)- Three public hearings on disput ed bills before the legislature held the spotlight today, with little controversial material due to come on the floor of either house or senate. A second hearing on the high ly controversial "freeway" or limited highway access bill will be held late today. One hearing on it was held last week, but some Interested persons who did not attend it wanted another hearing.

The "pro" case was pre sented by members of the state highway commission.. Utility Bill Up Also late today a hearing will be held on the bill by Sen. Merle R. Chessman and Rep. Ralph Moore that would limit the right of a public utility district to op erate outside of its own terri tory except with the consent of a majority of the voters of the area in question. A hearing will be held tonight on the explosive "civil rights" bill, which would make lt illegal to refuse public accommodations to a person because of race. Meanwhile the senate was considering a renewed appeal from Gov. Earl Snell for recon sideration of its action killing his proposal for hiring tax ex perts to study the state's finan cial structure. In a letter yesterday, the gov ernor said he did not believe that the tax picture was a "hodgepodge" but he felt "con siderable concern" over the in creasing needs by the counties, cities and school districts for state funds. He said he felt that such an investigation would repay its cost in savings to the state and in contributions to its develop ment. Man's Dream About Plane Comes True Fort Worth, Tex. U.R) H. F.
