MmU OREGjoNLrtspm PUIUJH J 'rrtsSuTIOrl Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Fifty-two Nazi nabobs, await ing trial as war criminals, have ailments of their flax-seed sized hearts, a press dispatch states. The rest of the lot have some thing the matter with other vital organs. One has recovered from razor cuts inflicted in a bungled effort to kill himself. Field Mar shal Keitel has a severe car buncle on his neck, and Reichs minister A. Rosenberg has a sprained ankle. Lt. Col. von Frevend Is suffering from mul tiple shrapnel wounds, incurred while straying too close to the front. It has been announced by the allies all will go to trial, the bum pump platoon included and stew In their own cussedness. e e e Food Is factor in Juvenile de linquency and causes some of It, .Roger Babson, economist, argues. Most any teen-aRer will go for a hamburger with all the trim mings. In the storm and stress of war the hamburger, sad to tell, is not what It used to be. It has been occupied and overrun by the soy-bean, the great food stretcher. Maybe the soy beans male. lh tiivpnilns Art nnnffhtv. and gets the deputy sheriff out of bed In the middle of the night. The old fashioned Juvenile was better behaved. He was highly allergic to the razor strap and the family woodshed. For his between meal gourmandlzlng, he received a piece of bread, well smeared with butter and sprink led with sugar brown or white. Brown sugar is now kaput; the white kind scarce, and butter is rationed. These times a growing boy needs vitamins, and gets them In a glass of chilled carrot Juice, one part ground parsnips. No wonder he throws rocks at the schoolhouse and goes astray otherwise. The young folks are not what they used to be neith er are the old folks. e e e HOW TO TREAT WARhJORS (Salem Statesman) "The best counsel is to give the veteran a cordial welcome and not be suspicions of his mind If he hangs up his clothes In an orderly manner (which he never did before), or says 'Sir' politely." e e e Farmers are now busy cutting their bearded barley, whiskers and all; also the hairy vetch. e "FEEBLEMINDED SCHOOL COMMISSION NAMED."

I dined with a puest at a coffee shop in Los Angeles. We were served lovely ears of corn without a siOn of butter. While we were eating our dry ears of corn two waiti esses who were not busy slowly buttered, with largs pals of butler, their sep arate orders of corn and at the counter came around and sat down and ate only buttered corn." (S. F. Chronicle). L'st Mall Tribune TVent Ada. Is Senator Morse It is too bad the Congressional Record is not more generally read. Too bad, who wish to know what is ington, and many people do. for newspaper re rort3. .rood as they are, so often fail to give the com plete and therefore true abbreviated accounts. TAKE the case of Senator Wayne Morse and the OPA regulations regarding Oregon lambs. Senator Morse, through secured material betterment in the situation ; but be cause of his zeal what cessive zeal ! an impression has been created in this part of the state that the is hostile to the UrA ana OAD such people followed the proceedings in the 1 1 Senate via the Congressional Record they would have entertained no such For, not only does Senator Morse heartily favor the OPA and its purposes, he firmly believes its discon tinuance would be a national calamity. Listen to this from the Congressional ample: Mr. Morse: "I, for one, Mr. President, know that a great many criticisms of the OPA have no foundation In fact . . . Let me repeat something I have attempted to make clear so many times in my speeches on this question: I think it would result in an economic catastrophe in America if the OPA were put out of business. I think It would be most unfortunate, if we weakened on the line of economic stabilization- I happen to be one who believes the OPA should be strengthened. I happen to be one who believes that price control must be maintained until there Is a balance between the purchasing power of Americans, and civilian goods available for purchase. If we do not do lt. if we do not maintain that control. . . then we shall be faced by a runaway Inflation and the Amer . lean dollar will cease to have any real value. I know of noth ing which would be more harmful." Difficult to imaerine a justification of OPA and than that I DUT necessary as this federal agency is, and valu able and essential as are its functions, Senator Morse believes it has erred been mistaken and bungling in so many of its meth ods and policies that not public welfare but for the its perpetuation a thorough survey should be made so the errors may be revealed and necessary correc tions made. Again we quote : "So, Mr. President, I say that I, for one, believe that the Senate of the United States should put Itself In such a position that It can answer with FACT, unfounded criticisms of OPA and lt also should put Itself In such a position through such a committee as my resolution calls for to correct the abuses which In fact do exist In OPA, I havo attempted to use the Oregon lamb case as a 'cause celcbre,' to illustrate the fact that abuses and maladministration and serious mistakes in Judgment are made down at OPA. They are made with such frequency that there Is a rising tide of typhoon proportions of criticism and dissatisfaction of OPA. I wish to do my part to stop those attacks on OPA. Mr. President, we can not do it unless we, as a Senate, are willing through a special commit tee to get in there and find out the facts and see to it that the necessary steps are taken to eliminate the abuses. "So I say, Mr- President, that the committee I am, calling for can be a great strengthening arm to OPA. I am at a loss to understand the opposition I find In the Senate to the creation of such a committee. I think the administration should welcome It." And so do we. And so we believe do all rierht thinking people regardless of politics. e e e e e JET there be light. Let the facts, all the facts, be known. Not for the purpose of discrediting this essential war agency but for the purpose of strength ening and improving it and thus gaining that support and satisfaction among the perpetuation, its usefulness Air Force 38 Years Old The American Air Forces will observe their 38th anniversary tomorrow bv destruction of Japanese industries and cities. ureat fleets of U. S. bombers and fighters which have, through well organized strategic and tactical operations, razed Germany, are now joining the Pa cific air power of the Allies to blast and burn the Samurai dream of world conquest. e e e e THIRTY-EIGHT years ago the AAF had its begin ning with one of Orvillc Wright's first planes. Its initiation to warfare came when Pershing wont in to Mexico after Pancho Villa. One plane took part in that campaign. When war was declared on Ger many in 1917 we had 35 pilots. 1,087 enlisted men, o5 planes, One armed. From 1941 to 19 13 the Air Force grew to 2,800.000 officers and men and 100,000 planes. America's industries have produced 280,000 planes the AAF has participated in 2.300,000 com bat flights and dropped two million tons of bombs. That doesn't include the fine record of the navv. e e e e VES, the American Air Forces have come a long way since those days, and the role of air power is ful filling, in no uncertain terms, the most optimistic pre dictions of once maligned Genera! Billy Mitchell. JT is a military truism that ui:o nni-ii it ist rtiuuiii'u forces. That is why we are with all of the air and fire power possible, keeping her off balance to force a decision as early as possible. The AAF's role in this final assault is a glorious one. It is up to the home front to solve quickly the uichermg in n- piams; tor worn layolts mean bombing layoffs. The longer the war is nrolomred the more expensive it will become, not only financially out m me lives oi Americans. Against OPA? particularly for the people really going on in Wash picture, in their necessarily his effective agitation, has some seem to regard as ex junior benator trom uregon opposed to lis continuance misapprehension. Record of July 27th, for ex- much stronger defense and its fundamental purposes in so many directions, has only for the sake of the sake of the OPA itself and people so essential to its and its complete success.
