Tomorrow Is the anniversary
of St. Patrick, who early in the
400th century drove the snakes
out of Ireland. 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.

(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."

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington, March 16 Mr.
Roosevelt's rebuff by congress
on the draft -for -work bill is
growing com
plete and over
whelming.
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

kels today banked $100,000
awarded her with a divorce
from Sugar Heir John D.
Spreckels HI, now a navy bu
gler In the Philippines.
Mrs. Spreckels, ending a pro
longed legal fight, testified her
wealthy husband 'didn't give
her enough to live on. He spent
$100,000 on race horses but
all she got during that time was
a fur coat, she complained.
The $100,000 property settle
ment was approved by Judge
Thurmond Clarke, whose father
eight years ago gave Spreckels
a divorce from Roxana Spree
els. The first Mrs. Spreckels
makes her home in Medford

given into her custody when she
obtained a divorce from the
sugar heir, attends a Medford
