SIM All 01 Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry A high member of the War Crimes commission doubts if members of the Nazi Elite SS Guards and Gestapo are guilty under international law. They committed all killings, wholesale and retail, in Der Reich. There is still a chance some of them may get a justice court fine for parking a murder car in front of a fire hydrant. Trial of the war criminals by lawyers is apt to turn out like a world peace cooked up by politicians. e . a An outfielder of the Oakland, Cal., club has been suspended for use of profanity within earshot of the fans. He must think he is Gen. Patton or Adm. Halsey, who are addicted to the use of profanity within earshot of the enemy. a a Democratic leaders fear Pres ident Truman's lack of oratorical whoop-la and acrobatics will be a handicap in the 1948 presiden tial campaign. They forget three out of the last four standard bearers of the Republican party W3re such poor talkers their .most stalwart constituents felt like crawling under the radio, In tha middle of the most vital broadcast of the campaign, a a a STILL WANT SUGAR ? (Press Dispatch) "Washington, June S U.R) Tha War Production Board to day granted a 10 per cent in crease in zinc quotas for the manufacturing of Jar tops for home canning." e a a Some of the new autoes tup posed to be available late next fall, will have the engine in the rear. This sounds like a practi cal Idea. Even the most dare devilish driver can't back up fast enough into a phone pole, to put it where it belongs. a e a "As to the cigarette tax, we expect to hold our nose and vote for it." (Roscburg News Re view.) A patriot unfurls his val iant stand. a a a The Russians report belatedly, they have four cadavers, picked up In the ruins of Berlin, one of which "with fair certainty" might be what was once Hcrr Hitler. Skeptics still think a cer tain "good neighbor" la being a "good neighbor" to the wrong party. a a a The proposal to make the old courthouse at Jacksonville a pi oneer relic museum recalls when it was dedicated, a Bible and a $S gold piece were buried In the cornerstone. It would be Inter esting to know if both objects are still there. Besides 12 years have passed since it was legal to look at a $9 gold piece without pulling down all the blinds. e a e TREND OF THE TIMES (S.F. Chronicle) "The first cold breath of un employment hits some of the war-boom towns, and perhaps the time is here to lay awny the silver platter that a fellow wouldn't take the Job if it was offered on." a a a Insect life Is dormant on ac count of the weather conditions. Turkeys are almost big enough to eat grasshoppers of which there are none. There Is also a lack of worms to make Older Girls squeal, while working In their gardens flower and vic tory, a a a "Rio De Janeiro, June S (INS) Brazil Wednesday declar ed war against Japan." (Press Dispatch.) What's tha rush! The European cornborer li charged with losses to tha 1644 corn crop of $22,700 000 In the northeastern part of the United Slates and portions of the corn belt as lax west m Central low.

If 'we're eoing to overwhelm the Japanese, this is no time for us to lay down on the job of buying war bonds. H.G. News Behind The News By Paul, Mallon New York, June 7. It was a hard-war program which Mr. Truman put before congress. Unlike Mr. Roosevelt, he told the people what was needed In men and energy to defeat the Jap- a n e s e. Like Mr. Roosevelt his pri m a r y point was that we must drive the Japs to un Paul Halloo condlt tonal surrender. Cri ticism Immediately arose, dis closing opposition on this point such as existed against Mr. Roosevelt. It is not ill-natured opposition, but represented a genuine view that lives can be saved by concessions, I saw one critique which put the matter this way: Mr. Roose velt was a frustrated person trying to imitate in this war General "Unconditional Surren der" Grant in the civil war, who earned his nickname at Fort Donaldson but gave generous terms to Lee at Appomattox I think I can demonstrate If you will read on, that any pro cedure except the Roosevelt Truman policy of unconditional surrender is not only impractic able, but impossible the nope of many people to save lives by offering conditional surrender Is founded on an unsound under standing of military history, par ticularly the same civil war. fUE Japanese war Is being a ruling mili tary clique with the full support of the people. No terms to the clique are possible because these would mean the end of the per sons who operate it. Any terms offered to the people could not be effective until they overthrow the clique, and, therefore, the only feasible time to consider terms is after Hint. But when they have done this, they are prepared for unconditional or any surrender. Try to write some terms to encourage them to revolution and you will see how Impossible Is the task. One critique I saw suggested we offer the pcoplo Chickens - Rabbits LIVE OR DRESSED HIGHEST PRICES PAID Quality Market 222 West Main - - Phone 4765 cannot feel very proud of lnuauun jo u uc pay envelopes is money the Treasury and thereby spree as soon as consumer ua .c , , the restoration of their emperor. What emperor, to what Japonese class and for how long? Unless Jap military might is first crush ed can we possibly contrive any thing to prevent another bigger Pearl Harbor 20 years hence a successful one next time? see I DO not believe wars can be ended except by uncondition al surrender. The terms which Grant gave Lea at Appomattox had nothing to do with the end of the war. Further resistance proved impossible before Lee asked for the terms. You have to beat an enemy In any war in order to get any terms, then, after they are beat en, you can call It whatever you like it is still unconditional surrender. In the war of 1812 we negotiated a peace before we won the battle of New Orleans, and this fiasco resulted in terms so unpopular they could not be enforced by the victors against us. ; . Nothing can be gained by kid ding ourselves. Lives are saved in wars by swift, decisive action. The quicker you beat the enemy the smaller is your casualty list. Therefore, what you need is overpowering might and shrewd generalship, not peace programs. You can never save lives by sell ing your war aims short. a a a INNUENDOES suggestwe might do well to leave Japan with something to offset pro spective Russian Inroads in Asia, or capture of that continent, as Europe has been considerably captured. That is not our way. This nation acts on the basis of first deciding what Is right, and then pursuing It with irresistible might to final conclusion. We have done better as a nation fol lowing our own way than any of the double-dealers in all Euro pean or world history. There Is greater power In the American heritage than anyone can mus ter. That power and heritage will survive in this world long after the double-dealers have contrived their extinction by their own artifices.

Shall wa not begin to create such an atmo sphere for them, in this fair city? The happy barking of dogs at play, or as they greet their friends, is not condemned. How ever, the unnecessary yelping of dogs, whose owners seem un concerned with dog training or of the peace and goodwill of their neighbors, surely can be avoided. Since certain dog owners can and do train their pets, so that they are not a nuisance, whether tied or not, why cannot all dog owners fulfill the same responsi bility? Are the pets of wise, consider ate owners smarter than the others? Not only Is this disturbance Imposed upon long - suffering neighbors during the three months of gardening. Many dogs are allowed to chase after and yelp at every passerby on foot or in a car. Returning veterans would think that a machinegun was set up in the neighborhood. Is this the just and lasting peace, they fought for7 This appeal also applies to blaring radios. Most homes have a radio which they can listen to whenever they wish. They do not need their neighbor's. Everyone should be happy to consider any means that would help make this a peaceful city. All can help by being consider ate of their neighbors who may be weary or ill, but are too courteous to complain. We ac cept the necessary noises, but dogs, like the radios are a source of pleasure only when they are controlled. Many thanks to the kind doe trainer who offered her service.. Let her publish rules on the care and training of dogs. We would greatly benefit by nracticine such rules. (Name on file.) Flight o' Time Medford and Jackson Co.
