Addicts report some of it tasted like -the manufacturers never got over the late 1920 trick of making it in a bath tub. e e e There Is some complaint in the Oregon press anent Boss Ed Flynn.a democratic war-horse of New York, taking up space In a non-official capacity on the (rip, to the .Big 3 confab. He seems to have as much business there as a Grants Pass caveman garbed in a coyote akin and long underwear, insisting Prem ier Stalin become a member, by swigging a shot of panther blood. e e e It is now admitted the Wag ner Act failed to prevent labor i trouble as planned. The nation could not have suffered more of such, if there had been two Wagner Acts. e e e "HERE LIES THE BODY . ." (Klamath Falls Herald-News) "The fans were in a dan gerous mood after this epi sode, but the hooded heel made the trek to the dressing room without incident al though several epitaphs that ', were certainly not for small . children fell on his ears." . Herr Hitler and eo-monsten vow they will never desert Ger many in the hour of defeat, come what may. It looks like the Germanic ship would have to desert the rats. e e e Roosters have started hailing the dawn of a new-born day with too much gusto, residential dis trict sleepers report. A lusty lunged chanticleer assassinated in the cool of the morn, de feathered and properly whack-ed-up, is in fine shape to fry for supper. e The legislature, as usual, will be unable to cease, desist, abate, or quit in their allotted time, and face three more weeks sans per diem pay in Salem. A bill should be passed requiring the lawgivers to assemble three weeks ahead of time so they can come home when supposed to. As they have already Introduced 014 bills, another one won't make any difference. e e e SOUNDS FAIR ENOUGH (Coronet) "When meat rationing first began, a farmer reported to his board that he had several hundred pounds of beef In storage. To a letter demand ing why he hnd so much on hand he replied: 'It was necessary to kill the whole steer at one timet' " e e e The weather turned chilly. This will stop foolhardy fauna and flora from heralding a pre mature Spring, and hard-headed dandelions from growing straight up through cement side walks. e e e Sen. Taft of Ohio declares the proposed program of Henry Wallace, ex-vice president and annihilator of little pigs, would lead to "national bankruptcy". The Ohio statesman is very mean and opposed to the "com mon man." He cannot get it through his head, as urged In 1934, everybody should go broke and be prosperous, e e e The OPA report reports the supply of canned string beans is "practically exhausted". So is the general public. The canned string bean throughout the current struggle has per formed yeoman service, more so than soy-bean "stretchers" and carrots. The canned string bean is the only war time food item that never experienced a short age. They grew like weeds, were about as edible, and more wisely cussed. Editorial Correspondence Los Angeles, Feb. IS: Well, what erasers are for. (First heard that at the Majestic Theatre some 40 years ago!) And the L.

And thunder and lightning with it the latter came In around 4:30 a. m. and we thought the Japs had sprung another surprise before our muddled senses cleared. Wowee what a SNAP, like the crack of a giant. whip, balls-of-fire and then crash, bang! In fact our belief is this comer of the hotel was hit but all the hotel factotums deny it. (In L.

' The principle subject for argument today was the President and his alleged plan to visit the Pope. The usual differences of opinion were evident. (If anyone agreed with anyone else in Pershing Square who would ever go there!) And we can say with out fear of successful contradiction (Hey there Porter!) that the majority In Pershing Square is anti:Catholic. Not that the Pope did not have his defenders one was a doughboy with service stripes but we said the MAJORITY, and that is what we mean. Which also means the majority there are Communists. One of the majority the iant red whiskers slightly streaked declared he didn't believe the report President Roosevelt was to visit the Pope for he happened "His Holiness" escaped by plane there, waiting for the Germans Poles did toward the end of World War No. I, so ha can return to Rome, and resume his rule of etc., etc. Before we leave Pershing Square we might add that another one. of the burning questions there today was whether Horthy of Hungary was an Admiral or a General. The chief disputants both claimed to be native Austrians - and perhaps they were at any very well. The one we thought won the white band on his felt hat who technique of interrogation tc-wit: "How COULD the dictator of Hungary has no NAVY?" The only answer of his opponent, who was bareheaded and to compensate for this deficiency vest and "cords" said: "My answer to that Is Horthy Is a SKUNK!"

So many these days in the musical line drag out. Second, Rita Hayworth is one of the few really beautiful young ladies in the movies. By beauty we do not mean a pretty face, alone, or graceful which are included intelligence, Rita has improved amazingly in genuine grasp of the nuances of this part she is a show girl and many of the shots are behind the scenes, but the plot has some sense to it and she makes the most ot it The picture is in color good while a young man by the name ot Marc Piatt Is A-l and may be crowding Fred Astaire for his terpischorean honors one of these days. They put thick-lcnzed glasses on Marc to type him as the non-glamorous male, but had we been In Rita's shoes or pumps we would have vastly preferred Marc to Lee Bow man, wno as a squadron leader of the R.A.F. took the romantic lead and In our humble opinion was, well NOT so hot. But It is a very good show, with (as above stated) a worth while plot, attractive tunes, and a touch ot genuine tragedy which for a technicolor musical is a new departure and all to the good. We have learned this as far as L. A. is concerned. If you wish to attend a movie don't go to the night show; it you wish to eat don't eat at the usual hours, for in both cases you will have to stand In line and wait which the undersigned refuses to do. Los Angeles is not only crowded it is packed. Added to. the nor mal congestion there must be at a conservative estimate at least 100,000 army and navy men most of them returned veterans enjoying themselves here or trying to. The better a play or movie is, the better the restaurant the more difficult it is to get a seat.

The entire ar ticle was apparently quoted by our local member of the state game commission, and there is one paragraph there In, which docs not make sense to the aver age angler, fisherman or resi dent of this community, which I will quote and would like to have explained in this column. by this same party. It states "Said he believes it Is a mistake tor the game commission to bring fish up the river to spawn and then allow them to be caught before they have an opportunity . to reach tholr spawning grounds, Many old timers and myself, really believe this to be a good change, if It were equally bal- anced, but here are true facts, that make this change, a sort we all make mistakes that's been wonting oit ana on ever has come at night, however. ex-Texas bar-tender with the luxur with grey and navy plug-cut to KNOW that when Rome fell, to,Ireland and is now hiding out to defeat the "Roo-shians" as the the "Holy Roman Empire," etc., - rate they couldn't talk English argument was the one with a kept following the Socratean Hungary be an ADMIRAL when sported a grease stained leather- going yet.

Moreover, her acting ability, she shows a color less sarlsh than marl of a Joke on the members of the State Game Commission, that pass theso laws, from sug gestions of a handful of old die-hard sportsmen of this sec tlon. How can the fish get up stream to spawn, when boats on the lower river between Grants Pass and Robinson Bridge, or beyond that to Hells Gate, take over their limits on every trip, It has been told me by anglers, who have made these trips, that they have caught many steel heads, over-limit catches. Just before the season closed a party of three, made a trip and caught. (believe it or not) 48 steelhcads Another party ot three anglers made week-end trips, and at times during the week also, for the past several months, and most always caught far over limit catches. Here Is another case, which happened Just last week. Two fellows were fishing near Gold Hill (and remember the season is closed) so they caught five large steelhcads, and a game warden stopped and watched them for awhile, then drove on. These fellows pur- chased some bait from me. and were going out Sunday again, i saying that fishing was great, I but I told them the season in me nogue mver was ciuecu, ana they could not believe it till I showed them the game laws and were they surprised, not so much regarding the closed sea son, but that a game warden visited them, without making an arrest. If the great number of fish are caught from Grants Pass down stream and they are not allowed to get up stream, why pass such a law governing the Rogue River, when the trouble Is, that some one, or group, is the cause of this slaughter of fish in the lower rlverT Al Plche News Behind The News By Paul Malion Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. 20 Words and lyrics in praise of "Mr. Henry Wallace are blowing over the c o u n t r y from the Wash ington and New York t y p e w r iters a n d m i m e o graph ma chines, furious words and thunderous lyr ics. Here they sound like the old wind and rain machines of the 10, 20 .IT V-3 30-cent melodramas which made Eliza's crossing of stage ice so perilous and awful for those who can be easily convinced. The Wallace grinders moan and howl: "If you're for Roosevelt, you are for Wallace" (signed nation al business men's committee for Wallace) . . . "Wallace Is a Yankee business man," howls Morgenthau (oblivi ous of geography which has cer tified Yankees in New England, where Wallace has never been except on political trips) . . . "The reactionary senators are trying to defeat the common man," moans a Florida column ist whose opinion Is being re published throughout the state as a paid advertisement. WHY? Mr. Wallace is defeated. He was defeated within 48 hours after his nomination for secretary of commerce was sent to the senate, defeated for the only important aspect of his ap pointment, control of the lending agencies. Without RFC. the commerce secretaryship is the least lm- nortant cabinet office. He was defeated not by a few "reactionary" senators, but by complete outraged majorities of the congress recently elected by the people with Mr. Roosevelt tor the fourth term. They Just would not stand for putting a farmer in to handle the new deal's financial lending empire. It Is not true that If you are for Roosevelt you are for Wal lace. Mr. Roosevelt himself had to discard Wallace for the presl dential campaign; Is being com' pel led by congress now again to discard him for a financial con- trol job for which few think him suited. It is not true that he Is either Yankee or a business man. It Is not true that the opposition represents reactionarylsm while he represents the common man. Looking at it only from the Roosevelt liberal or any Demo cratic viewpoint the common man would best be served by an efficient management of the banks and lending companies through RFC In the Interests of the government. A man who knows nothing of such hard-boiled, highly techni cal 'management could cause the whole RFC empire to fall into a mess within a few months, disrupting the proposed job lending and ruining the country. Would that help the common man? In my solemn, sincere opin ion, Wallace could be useful In that Job only for those who want to ruin the country, You would not hire a physician to do your dentistry or a dentist to take out your appendix, not unless you wanted the patient to die. Why this campaign? The only possible explanation, it seems to me, is this: Radical leadership in this country has fallen far below par. Now it Is trying to stir up just an ill-grounded and foolish cam paign to build Wallace up as a front for its activities. From the way they are going about it, I Judge they expect to make the people believe V lace a tin god from his defeat. a martyr for the common man.' a respectable show-window man for future use. Mr. Wallace Is an honest, de cent person and thus suitable for that purpose. He Is not acute to the workings of those who have been using him for some time. Human and friendly, he has never been accused of being smart, or gifted with Insight for leadership. The movement Is not likely to succeed. True liberalism in the real interests of the people will not gain Its day until young new men who are both clever and honest, now unknown, arise to take hold of it and lead it.
