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."

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, .

Russian Blitz has apparently not been attempt

Even an army as overwhelming, well led and well
equipped, as the Soviet army, can't advance indefi

them, the Russians would have to halt sometime be

reformation of units, a general breathing spell, and
taking of bearings. ....

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

"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

period within our knowledge has presented. Every govern

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.

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. Most evidence present
ed at the first hearing was
against the bill, opponents 'con
tending it would be disadvantag
eous to small roadside property
owners. 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
