Look out for sneak attacks on the postofflce by the army of Japs who were not named postmaster of Tokyo, e e e Gen. Patton, who takes turns being a hero or a hobo, is on the carpet again, for comparing the Nazi to the major political par ties of his homeland. He should enlist In a Public Speaking class, and learn to talk at great length without saying anything. By cap turing Herr Hitler, single-handed and alive, old B&G will be forgiven and feted. The mighty hunters have start ed hieing to the hills to slay the bounding deer. All signs Indi cate there will be more hunters than deer, and the alleged short age of ammunition will be con spicuous by Its absence. e A commentator avers any wholesale and complete abolish ment of federal .bureaus would cause confusion. Even so, there Is already so much confusion It would not be noticed. Besides, Washington, D. C, has enjoyed monopolistic control of confu sion, and competition, would do barm. e GETTING NOWHERE ITEM (Grants Pass Courier) "We remarked to Bill Hulon, former sports editor of the Medford Mall Tribune and now sports editor for the Ore gonlan, that the Southern Ore gon Conference was the tough est conference in the state, but he claimed the Portland con ference Is tougher. It should be, but we still hold to the Southern Oregon teams." (Jerry Acklcn.) e e The "Son of Heaven," a runt of a man, came down off his high perch yes. and made a sclf humillnting call upon Gen. Mac Arthur. Standing before his mas ter, the member of Orlentnl roy alty looked him square in the belt buckle. e e e The president Is having trou ble with Congress. They have "let him down" by refusing to approve jobless gravy, while an epidemic of strikes rage. States men no longer roll over and Imitate rubber-stamps when pres idential fingers are snapped. They have been getting wires and letters from Joe Public, e e e Ration points go off hamburg er Monday, and the household pages of tile press are full of recipes for making hamgurger at home. Something should be snid about the butcher leaving soy beans, the great food stretcher, out of his product. e SHE WAS A SIGHTI (Columbus Citizen "The bride approached the altar decorated with palms, tall baskets, of white lilies and seven-branch candelabra, on the arm of her father." e e Returning GI's from the Eur opean theater report in many of the cities of France, Germany, Austria, and Italy, the lamp posts on the back streets are al most as old and dishevelled as those on the Main Stem at home, e e FLAW IN THE LAW "Chief among faults found with the drivers' license law Is that anyone can get a license by paying 40 cents. The charge is made that the near blind, the halt, the lame and the 111 can secure a license by paying 40 cents for It. It is also pointed out that there Isn't anything in the law that requires an applicant to know the clutch from the muf fler, the throttle from the door handle." (Wichita Eagle.) Editorial Correspondence Mt. KIsco, N. Y., Sept. 23 Another rainy dayl But not a warm rain this time, a cold one, and light frost last night. Motored over to the Hudson river between showers, Ossining, Tarrytown and Dobb's Ferry, trying to find a place to mail a letter that would leave today, Sunday. But no luck. They are all on the same schedule as Mt. Kisco, no mail sent out, not even from the railroad stations on Sunday. Sunday in the environs of New York, it appears, is day of rest, recreation and religion the three R's. Two of the largest and handsomest stone churches we have ever seen are in this little town of Mt. Kisco, Catholic and Episcopal both well at tended, and parishioners motoring in from miles around. Also, in spite of the rain which was light and intermittent, some baseball, tennis, golf and horseback riding. But no downtown business and no mail service. If you wish to please a local resident remark casually that Westchester reminds you of England. That has been the aim, con scious or subconscious of a majority of the New Yorkers who have settled here. And it does. The country is much like rural Eng land, green, rolling, softly-wooded, well-manicured, well-mannered. And to those who doubt it we might remark there will be the regular fox-hunt starting from "Four Corners" this next Thurs day at 7 o'clock. Speaking of fox hunts we saw what we thought was a dead fox along the road toward Pleasantville, that Is where the "Readers' Digest" comes from, but turning back discovered it was a woodchuck. (Woodchucks grow big in Westchester as potatoes do in Kansas). We have been on the look-out for some of J. Cupp's walking horses down here but haven't found any as yet, that does not necessarily mean they are not here, for we have made no ex haustive search. The horses we have seen are of the jumping variety, built on the lines of a grasshopper, with prominent and muscular hind legs. Yes, the "Readers' Digest" is Just over the hill and Is an other demonstration of the fact that this Is still the land of op portunity. It also demonstrates the fact Emerson was right when he made that crack about a better mouse-trap. Only a few years ago the "Readers' Digest" was a mimeograph sheet with a circula tion of a few hundred in a radius of a few miles. Today it has the greatest circulation of any periodical in the world, is printed in a dozen languages and has a circulation of over 14,000,0001 We hope to look over the plant before we leave. e e e e P M IhaN V nnmcnana- ...lfl.ni. 4 11.1 J-..!... - - - - " .'l'"!"-1 mutuui buvci Liaiug uuu Willi IViHT- shall Field's millions behind it, is now frankly communist.

A strange view for an American nnwonnnnr in inVn i A - , . . , . . ,.., ltC, a icvcism vi ine nrsi commandment in American Jurisprudence. But no more strange As if this were not enough, "P.M." goes all out for setting up democratic governments in both Germany and Japan. If In those two countries then, WHY NOT in Soviet Russia? If It is wicked and a threat to world peace to have any form of totalitarianism in Berlin and Tokyo why acclaim it a political millenium in Moscow? We doubt If there ever has been more erookoH nnrf rnlr.v thinking in this country thon has followed World War No. II, and iwia uiu jist tta mi us our newsnaner rnnini7 one. There Is, we grant, some justification for encouraging popular government in both Germany and Japan, for when the people rule, there is a stronger inclination for peace and general decent be haviour. But once placing the power in the hands of the people, then, In our view, the people of self-governing countries should have the right to choose whatever form of government they wish, we have no more right to tell them what form of government they must have than they have to tell us. e e e e Around 30 years ago there was a book a best-seller called "David Harum." David was a very shrewd homespun Yankee hoss-tradcr who said ho believed in the golden rule, but there was a certain qualification ho alwoys Insisted upon. He believed in doing unto others as one would be done by, but he believed in do ing it "FUSTI" Well, that perfectly describes the political philosophy of our old pal "Joe" Stalin. He believes in self-government and self determination, only he believes In doing It first, in arranging both, and completing the same before anyone else can take a hand in It. This sort of diplomatic "Jumping the gun" is what has given Soviet Russia such a marked advantage In Europe and also what has led to friction in the present London conference regarding the Balkans, Greece, Hungary and now the eastern Mediterranean. This department looks for conditions In this direction to get worse before they get better, particularly between England and Russia, because in the Near East their vital Interests fundamentally con flict. R.W.R. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Sept. 28 MaJ. Gen.

He must not be a left or right or even a professional democrat or republican. Thot service must lean over back wards to keep itself politically inviolable, and beyond even the faintest suspicion of political use. (The British know how to do it.) The only limit on its appropria tions should be our need of In formation. If we need informa tion get it . If the spenders want to let treasury money loose, here is one place where they could get something out of it Some interested parties wish to limit the scope of activity to foreign information. It should be limited only by need. If It is found counterespionage in this country requires action, no polit ical soft' pedaling considerations should be allowed to stand in the way of getting it e e e THIS may sound to you as If lam editorializing. You would be mistaken if you drew that assumption too fully. Mr. Truman, in his letter to Donovan, said his reassignment and break up of OSS "represent the begin ning of a co-ordinated system of foreign intelligence within the permanent framework of the governments," and he indicated other government bureaus would be brought in. Stronger and fast er action is needed, and will have to be taken. I can report there is a good chance this nation's di rectors, the future, may know fully what is going on In this world. If we do, we will never again so grossly misplace our diplo matic and defense line on the miscalculations that the . nazis would defeat the woefully weak Russian army in three months (our military believed this and our diplomacy was guided by it), or to make such blunders of de fense and diplomacy which sur rounded the whole Pearl Harbor affair. Cat v si sou n taui Alaiinn Closing time fot Sunday loo Late tn Claailty 4:00 Saturday afternoon Please remember. President Tru man to his idea of developing his line of ef fort further for peace. Mr. Tru man cut up OSS, sending part to the war department, but most to the state. The Donovan notion of hiring someone like Sumner Welles, the ex-diplomat, to keep Intimate and Independent watch on the inner international world. was left hanging in air some what fongy air. Gen. Donovan has never been glamorous boy. He is a rather crusty soldier-lawyer. Those who know what he did In the confi dential special agent part of the war say his work in the Balkans, particularly, was excellent and could have been done by no one else as well. Into his organiza tion, however, crept a number of persons who did not fit the best nature of the endeavor and gave it distaste with congress. I think this fairly runs up OSS. It did a great work, but was not popular. IN the wake of this peculiar condition, congressmen are arising to shout "there will be no American gestapo," and I as sume also they mean no OGPU or NKVD. Indeed there will not. But there is a grave danger that the first vital necessity for a se cure postwar world will be ig nored and shunted aside by muddle-headed political thinking about it If you thought Pearl Harbor vzs a surprise, and blitz war- Tare sudden as lightning, you are already old-fashioned and obso lete in your thinking. The next war will start like a flash the brilliant blinding flash of the atomic bomb. If our defenses were archaic last time, they will be pitiful next time unless our officials know everything going on in tills world. Advance knowledge Is more essential to our defense in a future world than a superior air force, an army or fleet. e e MOT the fascists or the com I'munlst nations. but the British a democratic nation, have the best intelligence.
