Oregon, with more steers than people, has a meat shortage. It must make the natives wonder why they once cussed former President Hoover, so heatedly for Inflicting "meat less Tuesdays" on them, in 1918. The weather Is now talked about more than Herr Hitler, suspected of being swallowed by the earth, or Argentina. The weather is always wrong. It tries to make the valley a suburb of the Florida swamps, or the Great American Desert. Things are always right for it to float away, or dry up and blow away. The Japanese war Is approach ing what is known as "the clim ax." The more cheerful experts figure by the last of June the Nipps will be waving ktmonas from windows as valiantly as the self-admitted German "master race" waved sheets the last week of May. When the tg was up or the Teutons they became Russians or Poles. The "sons of Heaven" will either be China men or Koreans. e HE DOES, DOES HEt (Orsgonian) "General Grant, 4489 N.W. 44th court, reported to police Sunday that $86 had been stolen from his pocket." (A. Lincoln Letter) "When Grant gets hold of anything he holds on, like he bad Inherited it." The cigarette tax, on the spe cial election ballot June 22, is rated as an "easy way to get taxes," for there are enough people with prejudices against them to give the measure a good start. They should light up their pipes, or take a chew, and bit out for the polling places. San Francisco, June 4. Still no sign of when this conference will end. The final curtain with President Truman's annearance was planned for day after to morrow. onlv 48 hours hence. But now when one nf rhA officials when the show will be over J j iiit 1 1- they merely shake their neacis ana noia up uieir nanus and let you draw your own conclusions. But the efforts of the "outs" to get "in" have not ceased. By the "outs" we refer to the dependent peoples who want this conference to aid tnem in sficurinc their indenendence, and yet know if they know an YThllNli. tnat tne conierence win not con sider their problems, and should not consider them, There was another protest meeting at the Scottish Rite Auditorium last night, with another large and vociferous audience on hand. A new figure appeared, one Paramhansa Yocananda, founder of the "Golden World Citv" at Encinitas. California. Y. Yocananda is the onlv lartre and fat East Indian we have ever seen, a striking contrast to the man he claims to worship, Mahatma Gandhi. Also the only East Indian male in our experience who looks and dresses like a woman. t The chairman called upon P.Y. to pronounce the onenine nraver. an invitation he accepted with alac rity, cutting quite a figure before the microphone in his flame-colored robe, long flowing black locks, and strange vacant face. The prayer was not long, but when the chairman, a BPnnna minded and somewhat dejected appearing young man, rose to continue the program, the Yogi from Encinitas, proceeded to sit down behind a table on which a small box reposed and started to sing, playing the box with one hand explaining that it was a form of native organ. The song was monotonous, sing-songy, suggesting a Chinese funeral march crossed with the Klamath Indian burial service. This WAS lone. But it finally ended and again the chairman arose and advanced toward the rostrum Vmnafiiiiv Rnf YnnnnaTnia had other ideas and re marked that he would read a few of his original poems, producing from the folds of his ample cover ing a heavy roll of manuscript and proceeded to read, what may have been very beautiful verse in Yogi or Sanscrit, but in the back-row as far as your correspon dent's auditory reception was concerned, was com pletely unintelligible The chairman's face during this performance was a study in anxiety and frustration. We are certain he was fearful the founder of the "Golden World" was under the misapprehension that the meeting was his, and not a meeting to advance the iortunes or. tne "Free India" crusade and was wondering just how a la A 1. ? .r L.' chairman should proceed to miorm mm oi lusenui, without creating a scene, or having to call in the gendarmes. However, there Is an ending to everything, or almost everything the final page of the mss was finally put aside as Paramhansa started to return to his seat,' a signal for, the chairman who was already on his mark, waiting for the gun, to again arise, but ntrain he was halted in his tracks, as the "Mahatma" returned to announce he would have more to say later on in the program.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon been trying to even things up. It is a remarkable job when you stop to think about the diffi culties with which he was faced.

Premier Churchill In his cam paign for election at home, Is not doing so well, reports from Lon don indicate. The British feel, it la feared, this is a fine time to get the horse out of the middle of the stream. a STATE OF THE UNION (SF. Chronicle) "The result is little sense, and less of it all the time, but all the time more childish nonsense compounded of booming black markets, mys tery, rumor. Irascible lament, sophistry, cover-up and down right lying to the people." e . a The allies agree to whittle Germany back to Its 1037 size, and under the control of the Big 4, for an indefinite period. Russia will govern the east por tion. Including Prussia, which insures a rush of the self-confessed "master race" to areas under American, British, and French direction. No weapon more potent than a pop-gun will be permitted, but the Germans will be provided with plenty of military orders, they so love to obey with fanatical zeal. Juve nile krauts will not be Permitted to drill with broomhandles. The i Intention is to make them swal-! low the medicine they planned for the rest of the world. How- ever painful, the Hun will have to behave. This was the only new feature of the program with one exception. The exception was a demand, that not only the suffering masses of India, Burma, the East and West Indies and So. Africa, but those of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands be given their INDEPENDENCE. A certain Dr. Richard Moore (colored) was re sponsible for this clarion call for liberation from the cruel enslavement of our own Uncle Sam ; this got a bier hand, as do all demands for freedom of the oppressed at these East Indian gatherings. As far as that goes, this department does not oppose the complete independence of any dependent people, who want it and have expressed the desire over whelmingly in some official and convincing way. And this goes for India, if a plebiscite were held and the popular demand for independence, made clear and certain. But the question, as before stated, has no proper place on the rfgenda at this peace conference. This conference was called to devise ways and means to prevent future wars, -or. materially delay them and anyone who doesn't think this a man's size job, better come down here and attend a few of the sessions 1 . .

The political pal of the president actually sent skilled scouts out into vari ous sections of the country to ascertain how the new moves from the White House are re garded. He did not trust polls, even his own, but wished de tailed reports. From all sections the answer was about the same. In effect. they amounted to an enthusiastic go-ahead sign on the line Mr Truman is hewing with his cabi net changes, legislative sugges tions and foreign policy. Mr. Hannegan was told by his selected agents the nation had warmed up to methods of the executive, although the left wing crowd, embodying the stereo typed new dealers, was a little restless and inclined to indulge in a few carom shots. As a mat ter of observable fact the CIO. for a prime example, did not in dorse the Schwellcnbach ap pointment to labor, possibly be cause the new cabinet man is a northwest political associate of A.

The army newspaper said the bill is "another indication of a growing tendency among a cer tain type of thinker to make of the overseas veteran a peculiar social problem who must be spared the realities and hand processed back into civil life upon his return." It said a vociferous minority of social workers were con vinced that the veterans "will have to be spoonfed to make Flight o Time Medford and Jackson Co.
