The Polish question Is beyond the average American, but it looks like the London Poles should go home and be Polish Poles. Under new state law, soon effective, rowboats 16 feet or longer, will be taxed $5, and $1 per foot in excess of 20 feet. The esteemed Salem Capital-Journal surmises, "there will be a lot of boats IS feet, 11 Inches In length." The same rowboat, yanked down the highway on a trailer, zigzags more than a freighter getting away from a U-boat, and, even scares the log ging truck drivers. i e Fair smokers are now using a $2 an ounce concoction to re move nicotine from their trigger fingers, also used extensively in pointing at the other woman's hat. Dishwater will do the job, faster and better, a male expert reports. A quintet of 1943 fathers met yes. and compared babies. They all are remarkable. None of them ever cry. BUT ORDERS IS ORDERS (SF. ChronlcU) - "General Eisenhower's con cession that the soldiers may fraternize with the children begs the whole question. For how Is Pfc. Jack Dodds from Iowa to fraternize with little Gretchen and stand icily aloof Am nratnhnn'm anI lder sister? He can't and he won't; It isn't human nature." At Red Bluff, Cel., 80.000 pounds of beef Just slaughtered was destroyed by fire. No doubt the community, like most others, was in the throes of a meat shortage, and no relief In sight. a Prayers for rain by a Georgia farm community got prompt re sults. Ere the day was done, it poured. Hereabouts, all prayers for rain are answered. January appeals bore fruit In May. WHAT DO YOU THINK? (Woodlewn, Cal., Democrat) "Editor In answer to the editorial, 1 accept the caustic reprimand for wearing Pop's shirts In these days of scarcity, but with some reservations. "Give the girls credit for being patriotic. They wear Pop's discards to save for stamps and bonds. Dorothy." Republicans In Congress, charge high government officials used tiie war as "a cloak for waste and graft." One of the best tricks was renting a tractor, wltn no engine in it, at $779 per month. U may all turn out to be another tempest in a Teapot Dome. e WHEN CHIVALRY SHIVERED Two young men of The Dalles wishing to prove that Edmund Burke was mistaken when he wrote his famous words, "The age of chivalry is gone," retired to the beach back of the Umatilla Houso and began to show how much chivalry there was in get ting pummeled around about a woman. We have not had oppor tunity to Interview either of the gay Lothurios; but as neither one of them has put in an appearance today, we should Judge they must have their heads consider ably 'swelled' over the affair',' The Dalles Chronicle, SO Yri. Ago col.) The flag of Ecuador bears a figure of the great condor of the Andes. San Francisco, June 13. Back again ! And what a difference only a few days make. For the climate hereabouts has completely changed, a week ago it was winter, now S.'F. is in the midst of summer, witn oeneve it or noi, near, prostrations reported, and the locusts singing in the dust-laden trees a few miles away. We skipped the "uncovered wagon" coming down and if possible will always do it hereafter. Not only is time saved and discomfort escaped, but one can make up his or her, own schedule, and easily catch the midnight for San Ifrancisco. Picked up a soldier and his wife a mile south of Medford, hitch-hiking to San Diego. They had left Seattle only the day before which indicates a disposi tion to heb the boys in uniform. The only remarkable thing about them was their silence, the two of them never had a word, to say all the wav to Dunsmuir except in answer to our questions. They were tired, no doubt, but they did not sleeD. The wife (merely a girl in her 'teens) was cheerful but silent. The soldier-boy was the latter but not the former. 1 Both, however, were grateful for the lift. Instead of stopping in Dunsmuir the boy picked up his suit case, the eirl took his arm, and they started to walk south, the latter certain they would be riding soon. It was then after 10 p.m. (Why should a SOLDIER have to hitch-hike?) Nothing to eat or drink in Dunsmuir. The place deserted, in fact, save for a couple of sailors and one policeman, parked near the corner of the burned-out Weed hotel. The reason? Two hundred and fifty German prisoners, enroute, had to have solid and liquid (non-alcoholic) nourish ment, and cleaned the place out. According to the policeman, who was terribly sore about it, even the S. P. had to send their section train crews down to Redding to be watered and fed. . . Why doesn't the army feed its own prisoners and serve them at the SECOND table, not the FIRST? So all the bond issues carried, some by large maiorities ! Well we would much prefer all of them PASSING to ALL of them FAILING, for the sewer and sewage disposal extensions are critically needed, and their deteat would have created a serious situation witn no immediate relief in sight. But as stated, we did not and do not think in the midst of a war, is the time for Medford, or any other city, just getting out of debt to plunge back into it, to the tune of nearly a million dollars. Far better to have waited, except for the MUST improvements, until the war had ended and the skies, linanciai ana otherwise, had cleared. ' However "Vox Populi, Vox Dei !" And the people who voted for these improvements, all desirable but only two of an emergency char acter, will have to pay for them. (At least those of them who are taxpayers!) So-o Well that's democracy in action, isn't it? So why squawk? The train south was more crowded than usual with over an hour's wait to get breakfast The meal finally served, however, was good and the steward very courteous. He was sorry about the delay but said he was short of help, only three colored boys and they meje kids new to the game, but the dining car was an old and small one. Waiting there is line, it was interesting to watch the service men, army and navy file by with baby hottles getting same properly warmed in the diner. Thev have made marvelous fighters, now perhaps they will make just as marvelous husbands 1 Movies here have returned to the all-night schedule after the war blackout There might be a story in attending a movie at 5 a.m., and perhaps one of these days we may tackle' it (Be 'sure that is "MAY", Julius.) One of President Tinman's pals Is here making arrangements for the President's arrival for the final ceremonies. He reports the President hopes to be here no later than a week hence which would make it June 20. Hope he knows what he is talking about but doubt it As predicted two weeks ago, there is no chance of defeating the one-nation veto on any matter of importance, the real reason being Stalin would never sign a charter which deprived Russia of that power, but this is not officially admitted. As a result of Harry Hopkins visit to Moscow, however, it is claimed Russia has made concessions regarding the Polish problem, and also freedom of discussion in the Assem bly. It will be interesting to see precisely what they are. . It is certainly hard to satisfy some people. When it was cold here we longed for summer,' and now it is hot we long for one of those brisk cool breezes rushing down Powell street direct from the Golden Gate! R.W.R. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon ".f'-mOS, I i I'id'l Paul Mallon U.S. Chamber Holds Pessimistic View Washington, June IS ff9 The U. S. Chamber of Commerce said today it would "like to feel" that the San Francisco confer ence would pave the way for permanent peace but "all history refutes that happy hope." Consequently the chamber urged Immediate adoption of peacetime compulsory military training. Washington, June 15 It can be said the navy is working up a new program for post-war de fense power and the au thorities from the top down (and I mean the White House as well as the navy department) al ready have de cided there is not to be much e c o n omy In their naval planning. Details may well come Into the category of secrets and le gitimately are subject to volun tary censorship. Yet it is no secret this nation will wind up this war with a navy much stron ger than the combined fleets afloat in all other nations. I published sometime back an estimate that our navy would be S to 1 over Britain by the end. Since then the British have gone into warship building, I understand. But the estimate still holds good, at least as a broad numerical picture of our relative perspective power on the high seas. Ours will be even more than a two-ocean navy, and with its great acceleration in flying pow er, already is measured by some experts, as a three-ocean force. m m m TWO good naval bases In the Philippines also are being provided by naval authorities. Maryland's Senator Tydings, who has returned from a Pacific trip, says the Filipinos are anxi ous for us to have these and any others we want, in view of their disastrous experience from the Japanese invasion. A good many senators also want to see us get the Jap island bases in the Pacific, and they have their eye especially on Truk (which we have not yet captured). The hearings of the special house committee on the youtli draft proposals of the army also might be classified by some as a classic commentary on how far we have been able to go in the struggle toward peace but this is an entirely different proposi tion. In the first place, Mr. Truman has said nothing about it. Ques tions at' press conferences as to whether he favored the army program to take every boy away from his home for a year in the army, have brought no comment. (Mr. Roosevelt favored the plan). In the second place, congress Is paying but little attention, to ,the Woodrum hearings. They are generally considered as an airing of pent-up steam on a high- running subject. No action is expected anytime soon. I I think there is a reasonable general official viewpoint here! on that subject, which does not expect war, sincerely wants a living arrangement which will establish peace, but also wants American defense. j . fHE Woodrum hearings thus f n f lie. a dniFAlnna Anlti 4,.m sides to the youth draft question, the army's and the side of those who are against any military training. A third unheard side advocates the best possible mili tary training under democratic methods, without a draft and without removing the boys from their homes. ' It would build up the national guard Into a real guard of the nation, give it tanks, planes and money, move military education Into the schools, both high schools and colleges; give each section of the country an Annap olis and a West Point of its own, and otherwise promote the democratic methods of raising and maintaining whatever de fense force Is necessary. I suspect Mr. Truman may like the latter method, especially as he himself is a national guard man and n reserve officer. Flight o Time Medford and Jackson Co.
