HOW All 01
Ye Smudge Pot
Br Arthur Parry
Portland is in a high civic
dudgeon, over the annual return
of the mosquito. Citizens are up
in arms, and, due to the hot spell
not much else. The metropoli
tan residents should look oo the
bright side. They can stay on
: their own front porch, and slap
mosquitoes, without motoring to
a mountain lake, to accumulate
red welts and a sunburn, too
boot.
a
In some of the late "conquer
' ed little lands," a pronounced
pro-Nazi sentiment is reported.
It might be a trip through the
horror camps, would help "edu
cate" peoples, other than Ger
mans.
e a
The British have now an
nounced again, a different ver
sion of the supposed death of
Adolf Hitler, and contradicting
the Russian supposition the gent
is still alive, at least no positive
proof of his demise. ' All the
various versions agree on two
points: Adolf died in' Berlin,
nlnntf urlfh hi. alt1 'tl.nri Tn
' the latest account, the pair died
by poison, bullets and fire,' ac
cording to one Herman Karnau,
32, a captured Kraut, and former
chauffeur of Der Fuehrer. The
press dispatch poses question,
viz.:
"Why Karnau'i story was
' not released a few days after
his capture was not explained.
... Nor was it explained why
the story should suddenly be
given out now that Russian
Marshal Zhukov has cast
doubt on German assertions
. that Hitler is dead."
For the gentle reader, the plot
xmcxens, and how.

JUVENILE PROBLEM
(Woodland (Cal.) Democrat
"First step in breeding out
from the race those blase little
monsters who, by the time
they are 13, have seen and
done everything and are bored
to death with blundering
adult efforts to provide more
and yet more entertainment
for their Idle hours Is to find
something for them to do in
that unfamiliar spot,' known
" among old-timers as 'the
home." "(Flo McGchee Writ
ings.) a a a
Tomorrow Oregonlans will
struggle to the polls, on the
longest day of the year, to vote
on a couple of issues, the legis
lature in the longest session on
record, (69 days), fearlessly and
fearfully passed on to the people
for a decision. All signs Indi
cate more voters will struggle
to the fishing holes than the
polls.
a a a
The World Security confab at
Frisco, is now scheduled to ad
journ this week. The supply of
international problems, and a
shipload of Russian vodka lasted
longer than expected.
a a a
"Notice Is hereby given to the
public that the Dwlnnel Dam'
site and surrounding territory Is
posted for trespass, and In view
of the fact that no attention is
paid to the posted notices. . ."
(Siskiyou News.) As effective
as a federal bureau telling the
public not to travel on the
Fourth of July.

The heat has developed the
cucumbers, by leaps and bounds.
However, they are not yet big
enough to be as cool as a cu
cumber. Soma are as hot as a
two-year baby, with nothing on
but a G-strlng.
Editorial Correspondence

Chungking, June 21 (UPJ
T. V. .Soong premier and foreign
minister, returne-'. to Chungking
from the San Francisco confer
ence today.
Clsalns time for Sundae Too Ijltr

Pleaa remember.
San Francisco, June 19. This conference is or
should be a good lesson in humility. For here are
gathered representative men and women of 50
nations. all colors, all creeds, all cultures. working
on a common problem, and when it comes to brains.
abilities and skills, no single nationality stands out
above the others. It is too bad some of the Herrenyolk
of Nazi Germanv could not attend this gathering,
Thev would either abandon their pet theory of a
master race, or stand convicted of imbecility. In abil
ities and intelligence there is no CULUK line I
Yesterdav for the first time at a public session the
"rannorteur" in common parlance the recording
secretary was a Russian, and read his report in
English ! ' ,
Tr. was the meetine of Committee III-2 concerned
with the all-important matter of the settlement 01
international disputes by peaceful means, which is a
specialty of Commissioner Evatt of Australia and
Commander Stassen of the u.b.A.
There was no opposition to the report, however,
except on the part of the former that "may" should
he renlaced bv the mandatory "shall" in the matter
of the Council's recommendation to the Assembly.
It was finally left to the Coordination Committee to
make the final decision, which seemed to us a con
siderable concessioh for the combative and resource
ful Evatt to make. ; : '
But that is the spirit in these closing (we hope!)
days.
Reminds us somewhat of the final days of the old
egislature at Salem years ago, only there is no barrel
of cold beer in the basement, at least none we know
about ' '
But (rood will and a spirit of friendliness and con
ciliation are becoming more and more apparent. Even
the Russian delegates are warming up a bit, one of
them on the platform almost smiled this afternoon.
We have never been in Russia.-but members of our
family have, one of them was bom there in fact and
ived her vouth in Moscow. They have otten remained
on' the essential good nature and kindliness of the
Russian PEOPLE.
All we can say is either the character of the Russian
people has been materially changed by the war; or
the Russians here in San Francisco are not repre
sentative.
Our own explanation ia the one mentioned near
the opening of the conference : that the Russians
are a mysterious and baffling group, hard to pigeon
hole, as this or that, no sooner think you have them
classified than vou meet a Russian that completely
upsets the assumption. We are disposed to maintain,
however, that as far as soviet Kussia is concerned,
Kipling WAS right: East is East and West is West
and never the twain shall meet! The point to remem
ber being that the Muscovites are essentially not an
Occidental, but an Oriental race.
m m ,m m
Between sessions, they are coming thick and fast
as the end approaches. we attended to some per
sonal matters down on Market and near the junction
with Post Street and ran into a huge milling mob in
front of the S. F. Housing Commission office, mostly
women and babies, the latter including a most appeal
ing pair of twins, pale and with large, soulful eyes,
identical ones we should say, from a rather casual
inspection. '
We detected a familiar foreign accent among the
mothers, familiar because it reminded us of one of our
favorites here, Justice Herbert Evatt of Australia,
not cockney but reminiscent of it
Yes they proved to be Australian brides, around
400 of them, and all looking for a place to SLEEP!
Apparently they found a place, at least when we
returned a few hours later they were all gone.
We should say off-hand that this Housing Author
ity office is the busiest place in San Francisco and we
don't except the snack-bar in the Veterans building,
on a hot day!
Until today the forgotten man at this Conference
had been Congressman Charles A. Eaton of the U. S.
delegation, a large, elderly, impressive-looking gentle
man with a crown of unruly snow white hair some
what like the occipital cockatoo adornment of Mar
shall Dana of the Journal, but without Marshall's
raiment. In fact "Charles" was all decked-out in a
freshly-pressed blue serge, a white sports shirt and
a neck-tie about the color of fresh blood (from a
patient NOT suffering from anemia!)
a a a a a
There was a reason.
Congressman Eaton was celebrating his emergence
from seven weeks obscurity, by a speech commemor
ating in his own words, we quote :
. THE GREATEST EVENT IN THE PUBLIC
HISTORY OF MAN!"
This was slightly qualified by the subjunctive mood
as follows: (Again we quote)
"It is well within the truth to say that this Confer
ence may, and probably will, become the most fateful
event in history."
In fact there was not a sentiment, or a sentence,
in the Concressman's oration which one could criti
cize or fail to endorse; anymore than one could
properly adopt such an attitude toward the 10 Com
mandments. On the other hand there was nothing startling or
particularly original. In fact in the final peroration
the speaker quoted directly from General Smuts'
admirable "talk" of several weeks ago, when the gen
eral remarked, with profound wisdom and insight,
that we faced the tragic dilemma, he feared, of a
world that was dead and a world that was still unborn.
Only Charles neglected to give any credit !

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
1A1
Paul UauoD
Washington, June 21 Nary an
objective observer of the su
preme court can be found who
does not see be
hind the flock
of pre-recess
decisions a de
termination to
make this
country over
i n t o a union
a u tocracy
tablished by le
gal interpreta
tions.
The minor-
it" of the court
charges as
much in its dissenting opinion,
and the majority does not deny
it, contending such was the in
tent of congress, while the mi
nority in turn denies congress
ever had such a purpose.
The majority is led by Justice
Hugo Black, who generally
counts on Douglas, Murphy and
Rutledge to support him. Black
is an ideologist more than
lawyer, and in his senate career
he was always angry at the ex
isting world, whatever its state.
He is a true leftist at heart, and
devoted apparently to autocratic
or despotic control by it.
The protesting minority Is led
by Chief Justice Stone, a liberal
of the Brandeis and Holmes
school, who favors democratic
equality before the law and no
special privilege. Generally he
can count on Justices Roberts
and Frankfurter, but the remain
ing two, Jackson and Reed, side
more often with the Black fac
tion than with Stone. Thus
Black generally gets five or six
votes against the minority of
three or four.
a' a
Y outlawing the Florida labor
law the court has authorized
felons, convicts, gangsters or
men not of good character in
fact any one in charge of a labor
union to operate freely beyond
the antitrust law, fixing prices to
the public, levying tributes on
the public or business and in con
spiring in restraint of trade.
In the New York electrical
workers' case the court ordered
the unions not to do such things
in co-operation with employers.
That would make their activities
illegal, it said. Only unions have
the right to violate a law, it held.
thereby establishing one law for
the unions and an opposite law
for every other citizen outside.
Taken together the two de
cisions uphold the right of out
laws and convicts to operate
without restriction against the
public and the consumer inter
est if they meet only one con
dition, union membership.
Going further, the majority
held unions have the legal right
to put any business out of busi
ness, and can deny any business
the right to operate. In the Phil
adelphia trucking case the court
upheld the action of. the team
sters in refusing to let the A. and
P. hire a firm of truckers (with
which the union had trouble)
and that firm was actually put
out of business.
e a a
TTHE excuse of the Black fap-
tion for building up this new
right legally for one class of citi
zens to plunder both the public
and business is that congress said
in the Wagner act the court
should uphold the NLRB and the
unions whenever there was any
evidence to sustain their posi
tion.
But In the Bridges case con
gress gave precisely the same su
perpowers to the attorney gen
eral. The law said the cabinet
officer should be the final Judge
of deportations for communism
and the courts should uphold
him whenever there is any evi
dence to sustain him.
The Black faction altered Its
reasoning entirely to save Harry
Bridges, the west coast labor
leader, from deportation.
It overruled the attorney gen
eral, went into his evidence, ig
nored the congressional directive
and held everyone in the govern
ment was wrong.
a a
GOING still further, the Black
faction held that while labor
unions, even if led by convicted
criminals, are free from observ
ance of the . law (antitrust), a
nonprofit co-operative serving
news to the people under the
constitutional guarantee of free
dom of the press is not free from
that same law.
The Black crowd put the As
sociated Press under the thumb
of a criminnl New York court.
which must approve any by-.
laws it makes in the future. And
the A. P. cannot make a by-law
preventing the new deal Chicago
Sun from obtaining its news, al
though the unions in the news-
paper can put both the Sun and
A. P. out of business for any ar
bitrary reason occurring to who
ever runs the unions at those
plants, if they have unions.
IN my opinion, only the cautious
use of this power by wise la
bor leaders can prevent the rev
olutionary consequences of the
legal authority which the Black
faction is building up, and if the
radical unions succeed in. cap
turing control of political offices
through such movements as
C.I.O.-P.A.C. they can make gov
ernment decisions through their
administrators and then get the
radical court to make these de
cisions law, overthrowing both
the constitution and congress.
The legal authority to do this
has now been created. Whether
it is done seems to be up to the
union leadership alone.

More Gasoline For
Owners Of Boats
Washington. June 21 (U.P.)
Price Chief Chester Bowles to
day granted a 50 per cent in
crease in gasoline rations for
boat owners.
The new ceiling, similar to
the Increase allotted A-book car
owners, amounted to a rise from
24 to 36 gallons quarterly for
inboards and from 10 to 15 gal
lons for outboards.
ALASKA MEATLESS
Ketchikan, Alaska, June 21
(U.R) The meat shortage has
finally caught up with Alaska.
An Alaskan government spokes
man has announced that here
after a meatless day will be ob
served weekly in order to give
fishing boats priorities on meat
orders.
Set. Ray Casebeer, who was
liberated from the German pris
oner-of-war camp at Moosburg
about six weeks ago, arrived in
the valley Tuesday for a 60-day
furlough with relatives. Sgt.
Casebeer, taken prisoner during
the battle of Ardenne, was with
the Fourth Infantry division
which was with the First Army
at that time and later was at
tached to the Third Army. He
was a prisoner about three
months.
Relatives report that the
young man, former football star
and athlete of Medford senior
high school, has regained the
weight he lost on the German
prison diet and is in good health.
Sgt.' Casebeer went to the front
about Nov. 1, 1944, saw action
during the battle of Hertgen
forest and was in rest camp in
Luxemburg when the German
breakthrough came.
Sgt. Casebeer is the son of
Mrs. Elsie Casebeer, Central
Point, and a brother of Mrs. Don
Ross, Ross Lane. He will report
to a rest camp in California
upon expiration of the furlough,
Sen. Morse Urges
Labor Management
Attack Strike Law
Washington June 21 (U.R)
Sen. Wayne C. Morse, R., Ore,
urged at a War Labor Board
hearing today that labor and
management 'join forces to
abolish the Smith-Connally anti-
strike law at the earliest possible
date.
Morse said he had so advised
the Los Angeles Metal Trades
Council (AFL), which has taken
a vote to strike if the WLB de
nies its demand for 11.6 per cent
wage increase for ship repair
workers. The higher wage for
repair work now prevails in San
Francisco, Portland and Seattle
areas.
"The Smith-Connally Act is so
unsound and inimical to the best
interests of labor and industry
that I think the representatives
of labor and management should
join forces to abolish it at the
earliest possible date," Morse
said
