Mtmi 0 a E c1oO(j s?l E t P u b n s k e fiar 4-a-sTc)i a t i o n Ye Smudge Pot Br Arthut Perry Today this tpace 1 filled with an fffiislnn from the typewriter or Harold Haynes. columnist of the Astoria Astorian-Budget as follows: . e e "This evening, friends, we're appearing here in our new role of builder and architect. Yeah, we've lust put the finishing touches to an outdoor fireplace up home. We haven't said any thing here before about our Ken sington project for' the very good reason that . there was something better than a 50-30 chance that when we got all through. with the job, It would be perfect In every respect ex cept that the thing wouldn't work. . , ' Now very much to our sur prise, and we don't mean maybe, I we're resting easy on the work-j Ing angle. We seem to have fal len a bit short of perfection here and there with our rock work, but anyway the fireplace does work, which is the main Idea after all. To Chris Carlson, "Doc Stern. Floyd Foster, "Mac" Mlndes and a number of other outdoor fireplace authorities and to Sverre Halsan, mortar mixing expert, we would right here arid now express our deep thanks for services rendered. Even If we did seem to have to discard all their advice and do the lob by main strength and wkwardnes, we would still be ready to attribute our entire success In this building venture to them. We couldn t quit In the middle of the work with them watching ui. And you know there's a very strange thing about this brand new fire box. It has all the ear marks of age. It looks like something that old Dcnald Mc- Tavlsh and his Hudson Bay company boys might have used here in the old trading post days. In fact, It looks moro aged than that even like a throwback to the stone age or something. e e e Incidentally, we don't believe we've mentioned here that our stirring controversy with Com' mlsstoner Anton Sorennon of the city fathers' aggregation about MacTavlsh has been con eluded and old "Mac" Is once more res-lug peacefully in the old city hall lawn up Sixteenth street way. It was a great fight while it lasted, friends, and that we didn't come off a winner with the Commissioner occasions us no regret whatever. You very seldom win a verbal bout with a member of the city commis sion, you know. If you get a draw, you're doing well enough Anyway, we scored a point for our side when the city fathers officially ordered our story of MacTavlsh to be filed In the city's archives along with, the commissioner's msnterplece of rebuttal. We can't seem to remember now what all the shooting was about and. of course, we can'l bother to look it up. But any way, we meant well by old "Mac". No dnulit, he played the game fast and loose like hut there wasn t much of conserve- tlm In the old Oregon country when he was here. e wouldn t have much of an Idea whether he really did the best he could by himself, under conditions as they were, or not, but anyway after this brief Interval of con trovcrsy we're willing he should sleep in peace again. It's a very unpleasant and un profitable business, this setting up of standards of human hcliav lor for people. Personally, we're against It unless they start push ing us around. This world would be a very drab place with every body having outdoor stone fire places and very little else. If there weren't people around do ing foolish things. Jt'i nothing Back of The Headlines By Louis The Japanese are taking American occupation, now well under way, with outward good grace. The full effects of the defeat, however, must be looked for not In the reaction of the Japanese people or in the rank and file of the military. What counts is the course to be pursued in the Immediate future by the nations leaders or rulers, political, mili tary and economic. Long before the collapse, It was recognized In American circles even supeniciuny ac quainted with the Japanese structure that the surrender would come from the top, not from revolt among the civilian population or the rank and file of the armed forces. When sub mission came, It came from the emperor. The Japanese people have been disciplined by tradition and practice over the centuries. They are accustomed to group ooeaience in me lamuv, iu re - iikjous tenets ana taooos, to tne .ll Ik- iUI.,, ,J Iwilinn authority. They have not been accustomed to individual think ing or action. They have no concept of democracy; submis sion to totalitarian rule is as natural as estlng or breathing. Any Idea of educating the Japanese masses to democracy from the outside is therefore fantastic. Whatever real change Is made will come from inside the country, and will start at the top. In that light, the current pro- nouncemcnts of Japan's leaders are worthy of serious considera tion. The outpourings are vol- uminous enough, and a lot of the things said have to be dis- counted as due to bewilderment j and confusion over the cata-! trophe. There Is also a tend-1 ency to present nutlonal pride, break the blow gently to the people, and probably to soft-. soap the Allies into making the i occupation as easy and as brief s possible. , Nevertheless, If there Is any sincerity at all In their words, News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Aug. 29 Pres. sure from mothers who want their sons back home and scrv. ice m e n is playing havoc with the dis charge and draft pro grams. More Irate mail from them has been re c e 1 v e d In congress, and therefore pre sumably also at the While House and war departm e n t s, laul elaimn than upon all other subjects com bined since V-J day. At that time, you will recall, the government came forward with the program retaining about two-thirds of the. armed strength for present peacetime, and planned a gradual demobi lization over the long period of 12 to 18 months. Well, the navy changed Its tune and figures two week later, announcing what was called "a speedy step-up" In demobilization and It was all of that, and more. If more than doubled .Its earlier demobiliza tion plan. The army announced Its re treat through Mr. Truman's draft message to congress. Whereas, on V-J day the army hnd pro claimed intention of keeping an occupation force of 2.700.000, it came down to 1,200,000 in the Truman recommendation. e e e DUT the army covered Its re treat with a flanking maneu ver. It Inspired Mr. Truman to propose the first t-.acetlme draft In all history of youths 18 to 25. To me this looks like a sort of universal military training program the youth draft In a disguise of demobilization re quirements. The training would presumably be mostly in police work in foreign lands, its scope limited to 500.000 men, and the age limit, of course, runs a Ut ile nigner than the youth draft pUn, but the basic Idea Is not dissimilar. It would be a peace time draft of youth for two years or army service. As I said, congress has been henrlng from mothers also the mothers of youth to be drafted and showed public signs of resistance to the Truman mes sage to the house and senate military affairs committee as soon as It arrived. Adding vol ume and substance to their re sistance was a growing suspicion of army figures, already once altered In two weeks. A strong movement Is developing behind the position taken by Chairman May of the house committee. who wants to wait three months before doing anything. That is less than crime sometimes that we don't know what we're talk ing about, isn't It?" F. Ximmli ' the top men of Japan appear to , realize that a new era of world j cooperation and revul sion against war is In the making, and that Japan's chief hopo cf I survival lies in falling into step. I Tne (nougnt that Japan must renqulsh any dream of military conquest and the old theory of i a djvjne race destined to bring the world under one Japanese "roof" was noticeable in the re marks of Premier Prince Naru- hiko Higashi-Kuni, in his first prcss interview. He said: "The future of the Japanese race does not lie within the Japanese nation. I believe that Japan will flourish only when the principle of mutual exist ence and mutual prosperity is pursued, together with the other nations. . . . Therefore, the superiority of Its race and the discrimination practiced by the Nazi party are things which are unsuitable for Japan; nor is Germany's slogan 'Deutschland 1 jjCDer Allies acceptable to i Ta ld8P' an. , . . Our Yamato race must march forward hand in hand with all other races Thus, I be lieve that the theory of racial superiority will never do for Japan's future." The same line of thought was expressed by the Tokyo news paper Asahi, which warned Japan to beware of the German example, not to seek revenge. but to carry out the surrender terms faithfully, abandon the idea that might Is right and co- operate to abolish militarism, If that lesson has really been learned, at such bitter cost, the Japanese may be taking first faltering steps toward a return t0 sanity. The premier called for free speecti, a free press, free elections, and repression of the "special thought" or political police. If even a beginning is made on such a program, there will be much ground for hope, u is a program certain of Allied encouragement, provided an honest effort is made to get it going. the course likely to be taken by congress. a e e THE argument now all runs down into the simple ques tion of how many men will want to remain as volunteers in the service. The proposition Mr. Truman submitted was based oh the assumption there will only be 300,000. He figured 500,000 men would be produced by con tinuing the draft "at Its present rate," so you would think onlv 400,000 men would have to be retained in the army to make the needed 1.200,000 for the occupa tional force. But he left this last part of it open, saying additional supporting forces would be need ed in this country, but he did not know how many, (If the army can figure how many it needs for occupation abroad, why can It not figure a home supporting force precisely?) These considerations leave the figures a little fuzzy. You can pull the fuzz from them all day long and you can only come to the conclusion that the army does not know: (a) How many will volunteer to remain In until It asks them, and b) Cannot calculate anything else until this is proved conclu sively. e e e THE change In the demobillza- tlon plan, however, may up set the Truman ecoonmlc calcu lations somcwhnt. A swifter de mobilization will release men for civilian employment faster and complicate that problem if it de velops severely, To date there are far more Jobs calling for workers In my community than any army re leases can fill, and the want ads in the newspapers I read con tain 10 to 1000 more applica tions for workers than for work.

I ON WAY TO TOKYO Manila. Aug. 30 (U.R) Lt. Gen. Jonathan. M. Walnwright and a group of other high Allied officers released from enemy prison camps arrived today en route to Tokyo to witness Japan's formal surrender. Walnwright, who succeeded Gen. Douglas MacArthur as com mander of Bataan Bnd Corregl dor in the dark days of 1942, landed at Nichols field at 5:43 p. m. (4:43 a. m.. EWT) after a flight from Chungking.

Andrews, 36, and known about town as a family man, was booked at Hollywood police sta tlon at 4:53 a.m. after residents north of the strip complained he was throwing rocks and tearing IP mail boxes. r.:at was all right, they said, but when they protested, he started throwing rocks at them.l uik ours. Andrews spent the night In Jail on the assault charge on ac count of the rocks, police said. Otherwise, the charge might might have been less serious.

OF Washington, Aug. 30 (U.FD World war II veterans are draw ing unemployment compensa tion, under the GI bill of rights. at a rate almost three times that of non-veterans A Disabled American Veterans .. . . ... ures indicated some veterans are loafing in order to collect the S20 weekly benefit allowed them under the GI bill. This, he said, Is a reflection not on the veteran but on the bill, which he said offers the ex serviceman an incentive to re main unemployed. The Veterans administration, which pays the GI benefits, at tached no significance to the fig ures, which showed for a typical week in August that 1.52 per cent of the estimated 3,000,000 veterans drew readjustment al lowances while only .56 per cent of the 36.000,000 covered non veterans drew unemployment in surance. The loafing charge came from Millard W. Rice, national serv ice director of the Disabled American Veterans. He said the tendency was easily understand able. "Many veterans feel that the only way they can get the money due them under the GI bill as a readjustment allowance is to be unemployed," Rice said. "So there is no inclination to find work."

Bonham, of the Hamil ton county probate court, has no interest in conducting a lonely hearts club or playing Dan Cupid. Judge Bonham suffered a judicial headache when an In diana man asked him in a letter to find him a good wife. The Judge said, no, his court wasn't a matrimonial agency. Newspaper publicity given to the letter, however, brought a flood of queries from interested women who wanted the man's address, The judge dumped all correspondence into the waste basket. Our new dog, a golden Span iel, was born in the city and, un til she came to live with us., had never experienced the delights of rural living There are times when we feel our particular bit of rural living is less delightful than it was before she was in jected into it. Like when she plays tug-'o-war with the ' still young and tender stalks of grow ing corn or pursues a frantic fryer.' We plant our cucumbers in a depression and when wa tered, she takes them for ponds. She will sail into them for a swim and is not at all disappoint ed when she finds she can only wallow. The horses have only a benign tolerance for her hysterical yap ping at their heels but the Here ford calf goes into a panic and the infantile eyes in the white face are filled with fright There is little of the militant in even an adult Hereford; none in a Hereford calf. The shrill vitu peration of the Spaniel has sadly awakened ours to the fact that all Is not sweetness and light. Yet there will come a time, or so we hope when the calf and the dog will have many a friendly game of tag over the hillside pas ture. There Is, however, one mem ber of the farm animal family for which the dog has a whole some respect. This is the bantam hen, Juliette Juliette has her nest In the grass and the day the dog discovered her and made snuffy investigation I was hang ing out clothes and so saw the affair from start to finish. A bomb exploded into the face of the inquisitive Spaniel; a shrieking virago landed on the golden back of the little dog and stayed there. Round and round the yard rode the hen on her un-A-illing and loudly ki-ying steed. Such a frenzy of activity the farm has seldom seen; not in fact, since the boys were little and they and the pig. dog and calf got In a hornet's nest when picking berries. The dog finally ran through a lilac bush and the hen was brushed off. Ever since, at the sight nf Juliette the brown eyes of the dog roll in apprehension and there is a swift scuttling to safety under the house.
