Frost and sun are making the leaves of the oaks and the maples almost as much of a riot of color aa the cowboy shirts worn by the dres sier males. e A pair of enemy propagandists of tha female persuasion, viz.: 'Tokyo Rose" of Tokyo and Los Angeles, and "Axis Solly" of Roma and New York, both American-born, were not sufficiently melted In the famed American "melting ' pot." Both bit the hand that coddled and protected them, with rattlesnnke vemon. e Tha pigskin season Is now well underway, and the word "powerful" bids fair to take a worst drubbing than any of ath letic machines It purports to de scribe. No football team In this broad land is feeble enough to escape designation as "power ful." The fingertips have been worked off tha word "power ful" more so than "overall," "activate" and 'directive," In civic humdinger circles. e e TUCKERED JOURNALIST (Jerome Prairie News) 'There is a lot of news fly ing around the country right now but tha writer of this column has Just been too busy hanging around the Youth Fair to seem to corral many of these Interesting items." e e e A group of ex-GIs who battled from New Guinea to Oklnnwa.

People from the bunch grass region of eastern Ore gon will fight shy of any such innovation. They don't wont to go down to Portland with new suits and hove a roller skater spill soup in their lops."

The change caused tllUCh COnflljInn A. It..-. more confusion than anything Ise, a little bit more was unnoticed. Mt. Klsco, N. Y., Sept. 27 Fox hunting is no doubt "Jolly good sport," but not so "good" perhaps in a Ford V-8. Especially if you missed your breakfast, as we did in order to reach the vill age green at Bedford at 7 a. m. By 8:15 with a fox still to be unearthed we were glad to call it a day and return to Lawrence Farms for breakfast, with the V-8 missing on at least three cylinders, apparently as regusted as we werel Now with breakfast over we are rather sorry we did not stick It out at least until the hunt got started. Fear we didn't show the proper HUNTING spirit. On the other hand perhaps It never got started. There are plenty of foxes up there in the woods, they say, but now and then, even the hound pack 25 or 30 dogs, can't get a scent, and after wandering all over the landscape in two and threes, return to their kennels, or are brought there, very much disgruntled. These hounds, moreover, were mostly novices, it was their first hunt as it was the V-8's, so their chances wert not of the best. We did see the boys and girls Jump a fence, one of these old mossgrown loose stone fences so common and attractive, in these ports. Not much of a Jump three feet perhaps, but it was quite thrilling to see them all go over, including a "Junior Miss" on a pinto pony, all without a hitch and on down the road where the riders split up Into two groups, each with a "whip," and technically the hunt was on. But while there was considerable barking and rushing about of the hounds in the woods across the road, there was no baying, and until a -hound bays there Is no fox. At least that is tha in formation given by the wife of one of the hunters, who drove a cor Just In front of ours. There were four cars following the hunt, all in single file and running on low so as to keen behind the dogs and horses who walked, walked very sedately and dispirit edly It seemed to us. (But we missed our breakfast!) It was the first hunt of the season for this club, and for this reason perhaps was not as well attended as usual. One of the motor caravan even claimed it wasn't a fox-hunt at all but a cub. drive, they were not after a fox (or foxes), but merely wanted to scare up some of the cub-foxes and give them a work-out, also get a line on the prospects for the fall and winter. Haven't been able to check up on this as yet, but our informant was a veteran groom, who said he often had followed the hounds in the "old country," where he maintained there was real hunting with high gates and higher walls and double-ditches, anrl thrv rnri rinhr through swamps, not around them. In fact, ha was very snooty ! about hunting here in "the States," so he may not, therefore, 1 rinve oeen a reuaDie witness. We were also surprised to finrf tha men and women.

We con t get over the feeling that somehow It Isn't quite cricket, to use gas as freely aa we did before the war. (And A-ith these reports of shortages in the Middlewest perhaps It Isn't!) tf Then, too, If we were lucky enough to spy the fox, we know how we would feci about him.

And the latter with his tongue nanging out and thinking of his wife and babies at home. and the entrance to the home blocked out by some two-legged mer cenary the night before. TAINT R1GHTI There Is one thing to be sold, however, for the fox, he has what the bull hasn't, BRAINS. In fact last year, one of the old foxes used his brains to take up his final stand In a ploy house on one of these country estates, and it being surrounded on all sides by garden, it was ruled the chase could not enter. It seems there Is a law In Westchester county against chasing a fox through or Into private gnrdens. So that old Reynard made his escape. We hope he taught all his cubs the same trlckl Jng with tire from, battle-hooks and clubs studded with nails, they are organized for that, too. The sticks which carry the strike placards technically are not clubs but harmless staffs with their printed appeals. They are Just a legitimate and inno cent means of holding aloft print ed appeals. Freedom of speech, you know. And, of course, the union armies wear uniforms for Identi fication. Sometimes the uniform consists of a distinctive CIO over seas cap with insignia and piping. It may be a brassard. We know that private armies are forbidden but we have old movies taken in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, during Roose velt's CIO riots, which show or ganization, command and disci pline. a BUT 8URELY men who fought to preserve the nation against foreign enemies while the union bosses thrived, fatten ed and increased their political power and their treasuries at home, have as much right to or ganize for battle as the unions have and the right to go unmo lested to and from lawful em ployment. That is what they think. That is what you think. But it Just isn't so. The union bosses knew it all the time, more over, and planned for these strikes knowing that rioting, murder and arson, robbery, van dalism and terrorism were con ceded to be their exclusive right in Mr. Roosevelt's time. They, alone, of all elements In the United States, enjoy those rights and there is no indication that President Truman will challenge them.

Washington, Oct. 1 Let us as sume that the men with the little gold button In the left lapel, civ ilians who were fighters in uni form yesterday, all want Jobs. Many Jobs are available but the union movement, no longer a labor organization but a law less political power, forbids the war veterans to work at them and plants pickets to beat up these new civilians, one by one, overturn their automobiles and keep them ot a distance. Going further, the unions will terrorize the veterans' families. Persons unknown will throw bricks and filth through their windows, keep them sleepless in the night with mysterious threats by telephone and plant silent lund-mlnes tn driveways, consist ing of small nails in boards, to ruin their tires. The police and sheriffs will be helpless. The law will be useless. Government will abdicate as it did before. BUT THE VETERANS are good fighters, as the Germans and Japs learned in battle. Hav ing faced gun fire and explosive land mines, surely they are not afraid of a few hundred unmili tory civilians. Afraid? Of course they are not afraid. They are fighters.

They foresaw this situa tion and planned well for It. They are organized and the veterans are not. The unions have their general heodquorters The veterans have none. Their staff work Is the result of expert ence in old organization wars and strikes. They hove their field commanders and their sergeants and corporals on the picket lines. Lieutenants posted at tele phones get orders from head quarters and transmit reports of action on their sectors. They hove roving cars with loud-speakers to appeal to the veterans with propaganda Just as. in the war. the soldiers worked on the confusion of the enemy by prom ising them comfort and safety in surrender and pointing out the error in their loyalty to their dictators. Union propaganda does not al ways threaten those who would crash the picket lines. Often it wheedles, pleading with them to forsake the cause of the corpora tions, to see the light and Join their fellow proletarians, saying nothing, however, about dictator ship under racketeers and com munists. BUT, If IT COMES to fight- Washington, Oct. 1 Mr. Tru man's action in calling down his ways and means committee for round of mi m. .unLiui wrist-slapping rather a u m d founded them. They came out benumbed and speechless, but surprised more than chasten ed. A minor din had been raised against them by the left leaning writers and shouters because they delayed action on the increase ot unem ployment compensation. Within the din, it was contended big party split had developed with the southern bloc fighting Mr. Truman, etc., etc. Actually, as both Mr. Truman and the committeemen knew, neither the issue nor their rejec tion of It was new. They had voted even stronger against the same thing when Mr. Roosevelt and C.J.O. tried to push it through last year. The four dem ocrats who stuck to their guns were merely defending their own past records. Tha worst that could be truthfully said of them was that they did not change their minds when Mr. Truman renewed Mr. Roosevelt's request. e e NO ONE here Is now charging C. I. O. had anything to do with the president's decision to make a public scene of the issue and demand that tha congress men do as ha wanted. Congressmen near the inside said they Judged Mr. Truman was hurt because this was his first unsuccessful encounter; he thought he had to make dis play of his position, and refuse to accede quietly; also, he thought he was on sound po litical ground. What is behind the whole matter as behind nearly every thing else In the domestic news, Including the strikes Is the new grand mass assault of C. I. O. to take over and direct the infla tionary economy of the nation and next year's congressional elections, although no doubt Mr. Truman does not look at it fully that way. Equally Important with his insistence upon the un employment compensation legis lation has been the development of a new and Insufficiently re ported direct attack upon state congressional delegations by or ganized C. I. O. bands. This new method of scare-lobbying started a few weeks ago. First came a New York state delegation repre senting C. I. O., then Maryland and last week Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania delegation was about 250 strong. THROUGH their influence they get into the caucus rooms, where members of congress are supposed to meet in party ses sions. Instead of calling on the legislators, they "invite" both senators and representatives to come to see them. They are well organized. Each C. I. O. man is given by his organization a mim eographed poll sheet. All mem bers of congress were asked to say how they would vote on the unemployment compensation bill first (the specific C. I. O.-Kilgore billi, then the full employment bill, minimum wage increase to 65 cents an hour, the fair employ ment practices bill and the Ball, Rurton. Hatch bill to which C. I. O. is opposed because it would require unions to assume more responsibility in a mild way. Ordinarily no threats are made against the congressmen. All concerned are too subtle for that. But everyone involved knows what the game is. During the Maryland meeting, one C. I. O. speaker- did say something about taking care of those con gressmen at the next election who did not vote the C. I. O. way and Senator Tydings walked out, creating a stir by proclaiming he was elected by the people of his state, end was answerable to them, not to this one class. e e AFTERWARD the C. I. O. state delegations call on senate and house leaders to Impress them, then get Into hired special busses and ride down to the White House for a talk with the same Truman secretary, Matthew Con nelly, who seems to be in charge of receiving them. I have heard estimates that the New York delegation trip must have cost $30,000 or $40,000 for rounding up leaders from all parts of the state and paying their way and lodgings from home-portal to portal, but some authorities think this a little high. What ever it was, the amount and method comprise formidable warning of the millions back in C. I. O. coffers for organizing "political action" even down in those southern districts where C. I. O. has no members. e e e NOW when you couple these bills with an insistent nation al strike demand for a 30 per cent wage increase, you will real ize that the whole future eco nomic structure of the nation is at stake in a political bat tle which is rising In Intensity with next year's congressional elections always the controlling psychological influence In the background, not only In congress but at the White House. Mr. Truman's new personal pressure has not made It any easier for congressmen to main tain their position they always took against Mr. Roosevelt in these matters, and It Is therefore uncertain how long they can re sist a dual challenge more pow erful than any a congress has faced.

Uranium is Used To Decide Earth's Age Chicago (U.R) Uranium, the raw material from which the atomic bomh ta . IUWW, long has been used by scientists in m-ierraraing tne age of the earth and of meteorites, accord ing to Dr. Paul G. McGrew. McGrew, acting chief curator of geoiogy at the Chicago Nat ural History Museum, said tests showed that rock material in meteorites Is about the same age as some of the rocks in the earth. This has led scientists to be lieve that the entire solar system Is the same age. Uranium anrl other Mlne. five materials decompose at a definite rate to form lead. On measuring the amount of radioactive substance and the amount of lead In a rock, it is possible to compute its age. Mc Grew said.
