It seems likely the post-war prisons will also have no prisoners. e American soldiers marched Into a couple of captured Ger man towns the first of the week, playing mouth organs, weak ened first by a heavy artillery bombardment the unhappy burgs could put up little resist ance.

They know if they give an earwig an Inch, they will take yard. e e , Considerable bigotry Is at large in upstate areas, reports say. As yet no Grand Kleagles have showed up to sell the af flicted, four-bit nightgowns for $18, as In the 1920's. e e e DIFFERENT NEXT YEAR (Salem Statesman) ' "Al Simpson's Medford Black Tornado, a terrific ball club which had been unbeaten la 13 tries, including four romplngs with Marble Cook's Klamath Falls Pelicans, had to go into an overtimer to beat the Pelicans in the "counting" district tourney even after plastering 'em the four times during the season.

The trio do as they please, with the Frenchman the worst of the lot What the country needs Is masked diplomat to bump their topknots. e e e Optimists now predict the boys will be out of the European trenches, and the legislators out of Salem by Easter.

(Juniper Notes.) No place for It. The liberated countries of Europe under the "Big 3" agree ment, will have "free elections in choslng their own form of government, Washington re ports. It will be a new expert' ence for the people of these countries, so it is not expected they will be too busy doing ev erything but voting on election day. San IMeffo. Cal.. Feb. 27: Here is mora advice to any pros pective travellers. If you wish to see the ponies run at Tijuana start at sunrise. Otherwise you may never get there or if you do, come back broke. Not that one might not come back that way anyway, if disposed to play the races, but your transporta tion costs might run things into a major financial disaster. The war Is responsible. The war and ODT and OPA, and as far as that goes the war rules and regulations are entirely right. For Tijuana is a sink-hole ot iniquity anyway, ana witn norse- racing? banned in the U. S. A., and the serious gas shortage, no American gas should be spent on such vicious pursuits especially when the profits go to the gamming trust or a loreign lano. That d dn t prevent 13,000 or zu.uuu Americans irom attena- in the races down there on Sunday however (they are only run on that holy day which is set aside by all good Mexicans for earlv mass, horse-races, cock-fights ana last Dut not least Dun fights.) Also another jockey was killed. So the day must have been a GREATER success than usual. We would like to maintain a sense of duty and the higher patriotism kept us away. But that would not be ENTIRELY ac curate, for we felt the readers of the M. T. would be entitled to be liven a Den-sketch of the wickedness of our bretheren south of the Rio Grande. In the interest omy oi etnicai ana moiogicai research. However after finding one had to stand in line at least two hours to catch a Greyhound bus running to Tijuana, or pay $14 for a taxi to the border and back, your correspondent arglc to both decided to spend the afternoon in Balboa Park. We did make the trip the next day (Monday). And 'thought of course getting down there and back would be simple and cheap. Well it. was the latter oo cents tor tne rouna trip, ana ou cents from the border to the town and back. But even so we had to stand in line for over an hour to get a bus, at which time we discovered the Greyhound company is only allowed to run two busses back and forth every 30 minutes by order of the gov ernment. 1 Tijuana has not -changed much In the many years since our last visit, it is still undoubtedly one of the most depraved hell holes on the North American continent. The old wooden bridge is just as much in need of repair with holes in it large enough for a pig to fall through if not a taxlcab, and dirt, dust and debris all over it as well as strewn along the river bed beneath. As one Is bumped off the bridge on the other side, signs on the shacks read in English like this: . . "Attorney So and So," "Dr. So and So," "marriages performed night or day," "divorces arranged, charges moderate," eee.ee There is not, as in the old days, wide open gambling or if there is we ran into none. Caesar's is now a hotel instead of a side-street restaurant you can still get excellent wild duck but no quail or pheasant at this season. After lunching there we were informed by a fellow traveler, the place to eat nowadays Is not Caesar's but near Milner's called the "Mary Anna (The proprietress may know how to choose foods but certainly not names!) Another Innovation since World War I to get the $100 al lowance for purchases duty free you must spend at least one night In Tijuana. If you don't the free allowance is only $7.50. (We tried to get the U. S. customs officer to explain the purpose of that ruling but like most custom officers along the Mexican border, he was a crabbed gent of few words and fewer manners. We are still trying to figure it out on some basis other than con tributing to the delinquency of grown-ups! No waiting in tine to get back. But the way they pack these. Tijuana busses is scandalous not only every seat but the aisle jammed solid from front to back. We were lucky however to get a seat, the only drawback being a large Mexican housewife with a young baby as our neighbors the former overflowed on one aide the latter yowled on the other. j. Getting back to the good old U. S. Grant after two or three hours In Tijuana was like getting back to the steam-heated vacuum cleaned sun porch, after trying to mend a leak in the sewer in the dark and non-ventilated basement. In fact we feel almost like apologizing to that pink cheeked girl, plnch-hitting aa hotel clerk. If we had to hotel clerk 14 miles from the Mexican border no doubt we would hold the luggage ot any guest not paid up In full in escrow) In fact this is a very good hotel in every way, we even like the pale pink and grass-green papier mache decorations in the corridors reminds us ot the "Chick House" in Rocktord, 111., in the early 80'sl We thought we had seen some large planes before but none to compare with these flying boats lumbering through the clear, sun-kissed skies hereabouts. As the average mainliner might be said to resemble a dragon-fly in the sky. these flvln boats re semble well nourished pelicans. And they drop on the surface oi me water sometning UKe pelicans with quite a thud and a splash. We took a stroll down to the new WPA Civic Center on the waterfront while a regular air show was going on, and one ot the flying-liners landed near us It looks large in the sky out at rest u manes tne average fishing tug look like a child's toy it looms up over every other craft In the district. Bbl ! being completed by Con gress this week. This bill should have been passed last fall. In fact, it was passed by the House, but ran into some controversial problems In the Senate and died with the end of the Congress. Reintroduced immediately with the opening of the 79th Congress, the Senate cleared Its difficul ties and passed the measure, and it is mseting no trouble in the House. It has been seven years since a general river and harbor bill has been enacted. Most of the projects In this bill are or post-war development. Included in the bill are the following amounts for Oregon projects: Chetco River $ 190,000 Coquille River .... Maintenance Umpqua Harbor & River ' 89,000 Yaqulna Bay St Harbor 162,000 Depoe Bay 214,000 Salmon River . 8,000 Bayocean Peninsula 120,000 Willamette River 3,600,000 In addition to the above pro jects adopted in the bill, pre liminary examinations and sur veys are authorized for the fol lowing: "Bays, inlets, and rivers along the coast of Oregon with a view to providing an adequate number" of deep draft harbors. Nelscott, Oregon, with a view to protection of the beach. Harbor at Empire. Oregon. Alsea Bay. Oregon, with a view to the con struction, of a harbor of refuge. Coos Bay, Oregon.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Tried to get Mr. and Mrs. Hurd over at La Jolla on the nhnna knowing their many friends in Medford would like word from them but failed perhaps they are over in Palm Springs drying outl R. W. R. . An accident rate survey dis closed that the safest person In the United States is a girl be tween the ages of 8 and 14 years, living somewhere In Connecti cut, which Is the safest state in the union. Washington, March 1 Ar gentina's absence from the American family circle at Mex ico City came 1 m m e diately following the snub of Mr. Roosevelt Im plied by Gen De Gaul le's declination to meet him in Algiers. These events after Livadla have best Irred an effusion of com- Paul Mallon They even have a communist newspaper In Paris. But there is no Roosevelt or Churchill party or newspapers there or elsewhere in Europe. If we are going to join in every European argument tor all time to come, as the Livadia agreement provides, we have stumbled at once upon a grave defect in our diplomatic system which will be the ruination of our efforts. We need advocates, local champions in France and every one of these countries, if our cause is not to be lost. The Brit ish are skilled, and at least partly represented in most Euro pean nations outside of Russia. Already De Gaulle has prac tically told us by his actions he no longer considers us the world leaders, and he has not treated us like a major nation. If other nations follow that line, in truth we will not be a world leader or a major Influence. If these are harsh words, the time for them Is now, not later when our causa has failed from these defects. . e SO also with Argentina. The Hull rMlelanp tn 4Vint n. tlon, which has been fascist in its sympathies and actions until lately, was designed, I believe, in the confident expectation that when Germany and Japan were defeated, the bad boy of the Americas would have to be good. - She would then be com pelled to come around. She would have no other place to go, These tactics, before Mexico City, were supposed to bring tier into that gathering, and in deed she came around consider ably in threatening war on Ger many a few days before the meeting. - At the roof of Argentine diplomacy is the fact that the British buy her goods; they have bought the entire beef crop for years, and thus they have an economic hold on the nation. wnich we do not have. But we are not defenseless, we have great strength else where in Latin America. In the end Argentina must come into this realm in her own political sen-interest. This is the' most critical perl' od of American diplomacy. What we accomplish in the next year or two will determine the course of the world, perhaps for generations. We can still win the war and lose the peace. Posey-tossing and money-giv ing cannot buy the world in its current revolutionary state, Those are the counsels of weak ness. Criticism, unless construc tive, cannot help. What we need is win and skill. , Letter From Washington . , By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ei Congress From Oregon CONGRESSIONAL REFORM Lately countless words have been written and numerous speeches and radio commentator broadcasts made on the jubject of remodeling or streamlining or strengthening Congress. I have seen all ot those terms used Then, last week a national maga zine topped the whole thing off by announcing a $10,000 annual award for "the most popular boy In school for the nest member ot the House and the best member of the Senate. Obviously, Congress can be Improved. I know of nothing in government local, state or na tlonal that Is not subject to Improvement. I feel that Con gressional leadership on both sides ot the aisle Is well aware of the need tor certain reforms III Congressional organization and procedure. For some time there has been serious study on this subject which will doubt less result tn action dvrlng this term -of Congress, But. In mv opinion, the clamor and shouting on the subject Is out of propor tion and not consistent with the facts. The trouble with our fed eral government Is not due to any mechanical failure Ip the machinery of our Congress. The trouble Is much deeper and more fundamental than that. The Congress reform move ment obviously stems from vague but universal dissatisfac tion with the functioning of the federal government establish ment. Being the only one of the three branches of our federal a, item which operates entirely In the open, with all ot Its pro ceedings printed and its cham bers and committee rooms open to the public, it Is natural that Congress should be the victim of the manifestation ot public dis satisfaction with government. It is a natural whlpplng-hoy. What has really hanpened is that since 1933,' except for a com paratively brief period last sea sion, the Congress has been com pletely dominated bv the execu tive department It has not only been a rubber stamp to the will of the executive, but through tne years since 1933, It has hand ed over to the President so many of its powers that the present state of the legislative branch Is one of near impotence. We are llvli.g, to a la.-ge extent, under a federal government by direc tives Issued by the executive. My dally mall reveals clearly that this situation Is not general ly understood. Congress Is blam ed tor things done by the execu tive things over which Con gress has no longer any control Simple changes In details of procedure, reorganization of the committee structure, or even In creasing Congressional salaries will moke no noticeable change In the basic situation. The peo ple may easily correct the fun damental difficulties by electing an Independent Congress which will take back Its proper powers and restore government by law In place of government by execu tive order, . RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL, a The Rivers and Harbors news ment, both official and private. Our delations with the stronger small nations are being de plored, the tactics of our state department criticized and the situation commonly described as "a mess." There havt been comments dealing with Mr. Roosevelt's personal spoofing of De Gaulle In the past, and their rather ap parent dislike for each other or, in the case of Argentina, criticism has come from men like Mr. Sumner Welles, who decry the Hull policy of stand ing our ground against fascism there as elsewhere, and who want to kiss the Latins and toss them posies in the form of our money and economic favors, a e e WELL, we tried the kissing game on De Gaulle, or rath er Mr. Churchill did. Curchill picked him off a refugee raft and backed him to the extent (I am informed although the figure has never .been published) ot $50,000,000. Churchill also backed his grossly mismanaged and wholly uninformed Initial attack upon the Atlantic Afri can coast. When we liberated Paris with American and British blood, De Gaulle's first speech was an as tonishing disclosure of his thoughts, paying great tribute to the French and acting almost as if he and his followers had freed France with some help from the United States and the British (mentioned in only one paragraph, as I recall.) With thousands of our dead lying in the soil of the lowlands and France, on the eve of the Livadla conference, De Gaulle went off to Moscow and made what seemed to amount to a separate deal with Stalin, later publicly sulking because he was not Invited to Livadia.

My Judgment Is no solution can be found until De Gaulle Is out ot French leadership. We should have friends In France advocating our cause at the top. The Russians have.

Dee Mall Tribune Want AiU By Lisle Shoemaker United Press Correspondent On the Edge of Motoyoma Airfield No. 2, Iwo, Feb. 27 (U.R) The Japanese mortars and artillery guns are looking right down our throats. They are up on a cliff beyond the field, with perfect observa tion and firing positions. And they are making life a hell on this field. There is no cover for the ma rines just shell holes and the steady blast of mortar and flat trajectory shells which scream onto this edge. . Under Jap Height. Technically, the air field Is ours, we have troops on the far side to the north, but it lies directly under the Japanese high ground. - The 3rd division marines raced through a hail of mortar and artillery to reach the north side severaj days ago. But they have been unable to get any farther since because of the Japanese guns on the cliff. The field was one from which the Japanese staged their me dium bomber raids - on B-29 bases in the Marianas. Now it was a desolate no-man's land, almost beyond imagination. It looks like a Hollywood battle field. We cllmbecj up the' slope to the southern edge this morning, but a young captain, Lawrence W. Cracroft, Salt Lake City, Utah, asked us not to go any farther. Too Hot "It's too hot, now. You could have made it an hour ago when we put up an artillery barrage, but you can see how it is now," he said. Mortar and big artillery shells crashed into the field and the warning wasn't necessary. x Marines were carrying back their dead buddies, tip-toeing through minefields and winding through the shambles of wreck ed equipment both ours and "the enemy's. The 3rd marines are veteran and top-notch fighters, but all agree they never saw anything like this fierce and bloody strug gle. Spencer Takes Over Manager Duties Of Irrigation District J. M.
