A couple of years ago difficulty was experienced in getting Ireland to drive out the Jap and Nazi amcassaaors. ... Extra gasoline is again to be allocated to Victory gardeners. This will bring out the mothy rumor some foxy patriot, has planted three rows of roasting ears, hard by his favorite fishing hole. "When he awakened yester day, Sgt. Mlrt told police, his wallet containing money and his father's auto had disappeared." (Pittsburgh Press) He prob ably got hold of his wife's hand- bag by mistake. e No more alphabetically agen cies are planned by the New Deal. It was a great alphabet while It lasted. The first molehill showed up yesterday on a residential lawn In no time at all, a sufficient number of curious people as sembled, to make a mountain out of it, with a swing shift, for good measure. A special election has been set for June 22 by the legislature. ' It was a cute trick for the long est legislative session in state history, to pick out one of the two longest days of the year, for the mandate. . e American bombers over Ber lin, destroyed the General Head quarters of the Nazis, the brain center of the war, and, where the next one was in process of hatching. Instead, of being one of the last objectives of the al lies, It should have been the; first. Heretofore, it had been hit . by nothing, but propaganda leaf lets of the British. e The first day's play In the state tournament saw the Black Tornado triumphant in their first game. The 'small but pow erful,' the 'darkhorse,' and 'giant killers,' all fell by the wayside After this week, the community fretting will be confined to the annual arrival of Jack Frost, and his ruination of the pear crop. . e e 8HENNANIGAN8 AT SALEM (Salem Statesman) 'Trading votes in the legis lature In these clo3int, days is as visible in some of the re cent balloting as though It was announced on the floor. There Is no other way to ex plain some of the votes which members have cast. They may be able to explain things things away to the satisfac tion of their constituents, few of whom track down just ' how a member votes anyway. But how they can live with their own consciences after some of the deals they have made Is known only to them selves. Even God would have a hard time figuring that out." i 4 Kfl. irv I Ma miwlare. eeiek. i-S-fjt tiAcwAytaclryuprumplMBnd F trna itch orcftiiibt, hUek- .'...

Only one New Deal sen ator Just one support- ed him (May- bank of South Carolina) o n the crucial test vote, un less you count pu Hanoi leader Bark ley, whose job requires him to lead In whatever direction pointed. e OUCH ardent Rooseveltlan supporters as Guffey and Pepper ran to the mild voluntary manpower substitute, which everyone agrees Is not much of a manpower plan. Around the senate. It has been said Guffey, Pepper, et al, pi ef erred the C. I. O. to the president when the showdown came, although this observation contains some poll tlcal oversimplification. Even the House eased down in the vote Wednesday to an ex tent making quite apparent the futility of the president's stand for a compulsory draft of work' ers. It is quite clear now that in any event Mr. Roosevelt must take approximately the weak Senate plan or nothing. . To attribute his defeat to the C. I. O. however, is ridiculous. I believe the primary cause was this: e e e 1'HE army admittedly made a mistake when It expected the end of the war last year and began retrenching on production. In dismay it went to the oppo site extreme and since then has been working on the officially announced basis that the wnr will never be over, and is con stantly expanding its demands (recently steel, aluminum, zinc, etc.). But the average congressman is convinced the war in Europe should be over between April 18 and June 20. Manpower Mc Nutt dutifully testified for the boss (the president has done all he could do to win this fltht for the army and himself), that there would be no. retrenchment an V-E day, but everyone expecfe It must come this day after, in a great many lines at least. Furthermore, the president, army, McNutt and others failed to make a case of a national crisis on labor warranting such a drastic departure from Demo cratic processes. There are sup posed to be some 87,000,000 peo ple working now. No official ever claimed the shortage was more than 170,000 to 200,000 workers. v And there were many answers offered to those figures. The shortages were In sub-standard Industries, In certain, localities, in special industries. DROBABLY a greater deter- rent to war production was the union and money conditions Unions fixed auotas in many war plants, limiting production. Workers who could make big money, all they could spend, working four or five days a week, just would not work longer. The Mead committee got this evidence out of Its Detroit In vestigation, if any evidence of such an obvious general condi tion was needed. Yet we are supplying the worjd. 1 minic a lair, oojecuva ver dict on the months of debate and conflicting evidence would hold that the manpower short age was limited and that the condition did not come any where near Justifying a draft. Not even the prestige and un paralleled power of the presi dent could overcome these facts and they could not be entirely obliterated by the official great administration publicity cam paign. Indeed, the only effective argument for the bill was that the president wanted it because he thought It would be popular with the soldiers, but that did not go In the senate, and is now fall ing in the house. CAMP WHITE MEN PLAN ST. PATRICK'S DANCE Camp White Men of the prisoner-of-war training section at Camp White have planned a St. Patrick's Day dance which will be given tomorrow evening at the officers' club on Pacific avenue between "C" and "F" streets.
