Offices In Oiticli PubushIeu Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Fury Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia is mid at Sir Harold Alexander for stating Tito is attempting to take Trieste and parts of Austria, In "a manner reminiscent of Hit ler, Mussolini and Japan." Those are fighting words, even if Sir Alexander did smile when he said them. The end of school Is Just round the corner that the big boys around on the left hind wheel. Reno, May 18 U,R) A husky 6-foot Reno policeman was 'hu miliated on two counts yester day when 8-foot 4-inch, 118- pound girl clouted him over the head with a bucket and then proceeded to rip off his trousers. (Press Ditpatch.) The "Lord of Creation," sez youl a e Robert Ley, the drunkest if not the meanest of the Hitler gang, captured by the Allies, boasts "Naziism will survive." There, however, is some doubt Robert will, and not from hav ing his liquor cut off. a Geologists report the Pacific Ooean is wearing away parts of the Oregon coast at the rate of a city block a year.

MERE BAO OF PEANUTS (Independence Enterprise) "Guess we missed the Jack pot question last week when we said that the quota for the Tth war bond drive was 14 million dollars. It should have been 14 billion." a a The heftiest thinkers among the commentators now see "Civ ilization on its wsy back to the cave." In other words, Man knew enough to coma out of the cave, but not enough not to go back into It. a "Most of the ouside covering of fried chicken, both Southern and Northern style, is compar able to a low-grade of cement." (New York Herald-Tribune. And, as hard to chisel oft. a a a Fritz Kuhn, the Nazi bund leader has been ordered deport ed to Germany as an expert trouble-maker, after a spell in the pen. Overseas he will be turned over to the army but stlln comes under the head of punish ment for Germany, and she has it coming. a a HANG ON' SISTER1 (From a Novel) "She slipped one arm be hind his head and clung to him, trying to forget the time she would have to let go, probably not much more than a month from now. HOW THE WIND BLOWS "During a recent storm at Helix, W. H. Bond's windmill blew so far away that he has not seen or heard of it up to dale. The well was pulled up by the roots and we understand that Hand Caplinger found it on the reservation and cut it up into post holes and sold them to the ranchers there. This was the worst storm that we ever saw." Written by the East Oregon lens Helix correspondent. (SO Yrs. Ago Col.) Editorial Correspondence San Francisco, May 17. One feature of this conference would have delighted former President Wilson, open covenants openiy arrived at. There are secret sessions of course, have to be. But If the people of the country don't know pretty well what is going on in those sessions their newspapers are 'falling down on the Job terribly. For almost every day there is a report of progress in thi.au nnen rjress conferences, and in 90 of them, we are con vinced, ALL the cards are laid on the table. Whatever the final result of this gathering there should be no doubt of this: That result will be the product of essentially DEMOCRATIC processes. One of our favorites. Commander Stassen, had a conference In the Red Room at the Fairmont today. And, as usual, he handled himself, and the conference, in masterly style. In marked contrast to so many other of the "Big Shots" here, he is dignified without being pompous; gracious without being Ingratiating; self-assured without being assertive. And, also in marked contrast, he is a quick thinner ana a succinct counter-puncher, verbally we mean. In the opinion of the writer, at least, ne stands neaa ana shoulders, above any other member of the U. S. delegation. The Commander reported progress on the troublesome trustee ship Question. (The details have been carried in the press reports, of course, so they need not be repeated here.) Russia now is the only stumbling block. As usual our East Indian friend who looks like a stage Mephis- topholes in a burned cork show, but is a very gentlemanly and well-spoken member of the Fourth Estate, asked about trusteeship as it might affect those countries that are now members of the United Nations. (East India is represented officially by a hand picked delegation here.) And. as usual, he aot nowhere. (We have to say this1 for the East Indians, they are about as civilized, intelligent and attractive as any group here, but (we are referring to the nationalist group) they are almost as inept as the Russians when it comes to savoir faire. They Just don t know when to keep still, and when not to.- The delegates to this conference certainly earn their pay, though they get none. They literally do work night and day, with no overtime and not much rest on Sunday. Even so their hours of hard work can't compare with the mem bers of the Secretariat. The Secretariat occupy the entire fourth floor of the Veterans Building at the Civic Center, they do all the clerical work, keep the books so to speak. Strolled around there yesterday on a press tour, quite a sight. Talk about mimeographing! What would you think of a million sheets every 24 hours?! And in every United Nations tongue but Chinese. The Chinese have to make their reports by hand, believe it or notl And that la what they do, put the proceedings in pictures ideographs if you please. We used to call tha japs wonderful little people." This con ference has convinced us the Chinese are wonderful BIG people, big spiritually we mean. But tha printing Job can't be done by mimeographing alone. So they have a branch of the government printing office here and then the overflow Is sent out to local printing shops. We should say this is the most colossal rush printing Job ever undertaken, and no one Is falling down on it. No wonder the higher-ups are getting a bit concerned about expenses and have established an interim budget committee, to cover the period between the time the new League Is formed and it starts to function. The job that is being done here In clerical directions alone, runs Into money big money. a e e e a But to return to the Chinese for a moment. We have frequently referred to Dr. Soong's splendid keynote speech and his emphasis on the vital point of sacrificing some national sovereignty, if this or any International organization to enforce peace is to be successful. Well the Chronicle here publishes a dally bulletin of foreign newspaper comment on the conference, which is distributed to the press, a very fine service Indeed. The latest issue leads off with the following from the "Ta Kung Pao, Independent paper of Chungking: "While fully aware of the Importance of building the proposed international organization itself, we feel the crux . of tha question lies here: "Whether tha people who are to enforce and safeguard this organization will resolutely and with courage discard all traditional self-interest, narrow-mindedness, inertia and short-sightedness, and whether they will bravely take their responsibility as citizens of the world." Put that statement with Dr. Soong's and you have the ESSENCE of the entire world peace problem! R.W.R. IBALL AND CHAIN T Washington, May 21 U.R The tight web of wartime con trols over production has been loosened considerably since V-E day but a study of regulations remaining on the books indicat ed today that manufacturers are still in a straitjacket as far as making civilian goods is con cerned. More than a hundred of civil ian products have been released from restrictions in the past few weeks. But the action lifting the ban on. their production is sim ilar to freeing a prisoner while at the same time ordering him to go on wearing a ball and chain. The prohibition on making these articles is gone but most of the orders denying use of materials remain. Barkley Blames "All Germans for Nazism Pittsburgh, May 21 UPJ Senator Alben W. Barkley, re cently returned from a tour of German concentration camps, said that all German people should be punished for the dam age inflicted on the world by Nazism. "It was the people of Germany that elected Hitler to rule them" Barkley said, "and it is the peo ple of Germany who must now answer for him." The Kentucky senator said that he believed that all the German people, from the highest government official to the lowli est peasant . farmer, should be punished to some extent. it i to Classify 0:30 Saturday afternoon rieese rememDer. Postpone Induction of Shipyard Toilers Washington, May 21 (U.R) Selective Service today ordered state directors in California, Washington and Oregon to post pone indefinitely the induction' of the employes of specific west coast ship repair yards regard less of age or classification. The step was taken because of the "utmost necessity" of repairing ships in these yards as soon as possible, Selective Service said. Names of the shipyards affected were withheld for security reasons.
