Mamla OifEC PltlJhR SOOlIIIOI Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Parry Indian summer has passed, and it is now Squaw winter. All tha glorifying adjectives were used to describe Indian summer. In describing Squaw winter, one speaks as if referring to a Nazi atrocity, and works down, a The secretary of commerce fears, he told a 'senate commit tee, corporation profits will be come so great, "business will incur public disfavor." The pub lic is already mad at the mil lionaires. As a class, they are easier to get along with, than an Itinerant with a dime. o The supreme court has dis missed the appeal of Montgom ery Ward on the legality of the army's seizure of some of its atores.

Mrs. Eugene Russell of 1340 B street made the discovery in her garden plot Monday." a a a It was downright big-hearted of tha sister city of K. Falls to suggest the Black Tornado stroll easterly and play the champions t Chicago. It was a most charm ing display of civic neighbnrli ness and sweetness. And, to top off the sudden outburst of good will, their Quarterback club ap proved the idea. Tho organisa tion has not yet disapproved the water-soaked soggincss of tneir Held for the reii.-nt Medford game, something of a phenom ena, with dust flying in all other areas of Klamath county, even including the boll park. A few years back a few grid wins went to the head of K. Falls, and a trip to Hawaii for the Pelicans was publicized. But along came a football squad from Vancou ver, Wash., and quashed the no tion on a well frozen field. a a a The drlbbllngs of snow have not been sufficient to make tho pavements slick enough for an epidemic of auto accidents. It Is also too little to warrant putting out bread crumbs for hunijry sparrows, and provide Juveniles with snowballs to throw at their Grandpaw, and stray pedes trians. a a a "EFFICACIOUS LYRICISM TO MARK JUSSI BJOERLING CONCERT MONDAY" (lldllnc Oregon Daily Emerald) A cam pus Journalist lets fly with everything. a a a LITTLE GOLD BUTTON , (Emporia, Kan., Gazette) "So when you see the little gold button with the eagle or the duck or the pigeon or whatever It is in a coat Inpel snap to some sort of civilian attention and respect for w'.at it stands for. The wearers won't ask much more." a a Commissar Molotov of Rus sia, on the anniversary of the Bolshevikl revolution is peeved no end by the failure of Amer ica to share the secret of the atomic bomb. Ho boasts the Sov iet "will have atom anil much other energy." The Commissar, in his speech, shows how a statesman can blow up, with lung energy. Instead of the atomic variety. The Jenny Lind theatre, open ed in 1851, stood on the site of the present Hall of Justice In San Francisco. Wednesday. Not. 7. MAS Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ot Congress From Oregon THE ATOMIC BOMB ha had official Washington in a state of near panic the last few weeks Numerous conferences, both on and off the record, have been held by government officials and members of congress with scien tists who helped develop tne atomic bomb. One senator told me that, after spending two hours in a private session with one of the scientists, if only ten per cent of what the scientist told him was true, the possi bilities of the bomb as a weapon of destruction were almost too horrible to contemplate. The question of whether or not we should keep secret the information we have developed is pretty much flattened out by the realization that most of the secret is already in the posses sion of several other important powers, and it seems to be the concensus of those on the inside that any country could develop the bomb in less than IS mon'ns. We must assume, therefore, that other countries will have atomic bombs as part of their military equipment before so vtyy long, Just as they all have ample supplies of poison gas. Although gas was available as a weapon to all of the armies engaged in World War II, lt was not used. They were afraid to use it partly because of re taliation, and partly because de fense against gas is reasonably adequate. There Is a vast difference, however, between the effective ness of the atomic bomb and poi son gas. It Is possible to place and explode atomic bombs in any country, so as to instantan eously wipe out not only a high percentage of Its population, but its entire effective ability to make war or defend itself. There could be no defense against an attack of that kind. Whether or not our scientists can develop a means for neu tralizing the bomb as a military weapon remains to be seen.

Well, there Is George Bernard Shaw who recently celebrated his eighty-ninth birth day. Other famous vegetarians were Tolstoy, Voltaire, Isaac Newton, Goethe and Tennyson. All of these men lived to be eighty years of age or over. William Penn was also a vege tarian but died when seventy four. This sounds like a terrific boost for the vegetarian Idea. However, I could probably name six times as many brilliant meat eaters who lived to a ripe old age. Sidelights The National Assn. of Hosiery Manufacturers figures the 1940 output of nylon stockings will be about 348,000,000 pairs, or about five pairs for every wo man In the United States. . . . One television set will retail for around $100. Will be on the market soon. Image will be five Inches by seven Inches. . . . For playing Baby Snooks on the air Fannie Brlco Is being paid $5,000 a week. I think Fannie is a great comedienne but I Just can't get Interested In that Baby Snooks characterization. Not that I haven't tried. Says She Eleanor Farrant says: "Flirt ing is a genuine spirlt-llfter, a wit sharpener and altogether worth while. It is generous and tolerant, and has a heart, be cause a man feels more hand some and clever, and a woman more gracious and attractive after a first class flirtation." Grade Crossings As to my suggestion that the railroads build underpasses at all grodo crossings thus ellminot Ing the dnnger of collisions be tween trains and motorists. Am Informed thot according to the latest report there are 226 638 grade crossings In the United States and to eliminate them all would cost about twenty-five billion dollars. That's a lot o' money. Still It shows what could be done with twenty-five billion dollars. Keep this In mind and when you read about our war exnendltures. Or the number pl billions of dollars we are asked to give for European relief. Or of the billions of dollors we loaned to other countries and will never got back. I Briefly . Note It Is stated Ivy Toporl. belter known as Tokyo Rose, is a graduate of the University of California, at Berkeley. That's not right. She attended the Uni versity ot California at Los Angeles. . . . P. F. Bally says: "Possibly the possesslveness of women has ruined more love affairs than any of their other fallings where men are concerned." viously, the best answer to the whole problem would be the de velopment of some device which would detect and explode atom bombs while they are under con struction, or at least while they are in storage. If, in this manner, the creation of atomic bombs would become so dangerous that no country would dare attempt to make them, the world might be rid of the menace. Although this is purely wishful thinking at the moment, nevertheless it seems to be the only avenue to ward saving civilization from the destructiveness of this new force. a o NOT ONLY HAVE we been panicked here by the full realiza tion of. what can be done with the atomic bomb in the hands of a ruthless enemy, but the con' sideratlon of other problem" Is colored by the atomic bomb facts. For example, why should we be concerned about universal military training if war is the future will be nothing but de struction and will not involve battles between opposing armies? On thing appears certain, and that Is we must work toward a binding international agreement on the development and use of atomic energy. As we know, from past experience, agree ments between nations are not generally worth very much over a period of time, but in the pres ent situation, an agreement rep resents ine only constructive possibility. a a a ALTHOUGH there has been a great deal of criticism of UN RRA, most of which is fully Jus tified, we shall go ahead and continue our contributions to this international relief fund. Having committed ourselves to the formation and support of this organization in the begin ning, we cannot withdraw from it now, but it is Important that a specific termination date be set and kept.

That Is because of tho belief that women have a deeper un derstandlng of women than men do. Aildei People who wish to make a dog let go of another dog in a fight often throw water on the animals. This is a good idea. But the water should be thrown In the eyes of the dog who has his opponent gripped with his teeth. In shaking the water out of his eyes the dog will let go. Wine The average American con sumes a gallon of wine a year The average Frenchman thirty gallons of wine a year. So states a statistician. He doesn't say how many gallons the average Italian drinks. I believe an Itnl lan consumes a lot more wine than a Frenchman. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Nov. 7 T h e Baruch letter to congressmen lifted the veil about a foot on the whole In ner picture. Without men tioning the laor manage m e n t confer ence, the Att lee visit, the New York and Detroit e 1 e c tlons or any other matter pec Ideally, this now un faui Malltio attached elder adviser of the nation penetrated these and all other current eco nomic arguments filling the pa pers with at least one fresh ray of light. His flashlight beamed on the problem of production as the root of all economic evil. Delay and curtailment of it by strikes and otherwise boosts Inflation, he said (as It does) because slack production makes critical the shortage of goods, which In turn causes higher prices, which must continue until production satis fies demand. The current brakes upon pro duction also should make us wary of giving away what goods we have to foreign nations, espe cially those like England, Czech oslovakia, France, and Russia (he mentioned thesn snrificnllv In his meagerly reported letter) be-' cause by giving away, we re duce what production we have available to fight inflation. a a HE got off his own beam on two other points, it seems to Alien me. He said tax reduction also threatens inflation, without rec ognizing that a reduction in the vast Truman spending budgets projected publicly for the next 20 months, is the first logical way to curtail the government fiscal threat. A spending reduction In an Inflationary period like this is certainly more important than the meager tax reduction which continues war levies at nearly 90 per cent of war levels. Also he lit once upon a rub bish argument when he worried about our larm and mineral re sources along with Interior Sec retary Ickes, who is nearly al ways bod company for a seeker of objective economic truth. With all these nations owing us money, we should be able to stock up on deficient minerals (if the administration would de vote itself to this) and most peo ple are bragging about the abil ity of Agriculture Secretary An derson to get the farm produc tion straightened out from its war mess next year. a a 1MR- BARUCH'S gleaming eye " could have gone further and the veil could have gone higher, Fundamentally, honestly and ba sically, what are the tap-root causes of the condition we are in? There is but one. The world is being pressured Into political economics, domes tically and internationally. Here especially we are striving to do the right thing politically but not the right thing economically in international affairs, some crusaders want us to give things away for political reasons. Mr. Attlee is coming over to urge us, according to his inspired press, to give away the atomic bomb. In my well advised opinion, Mr. Atlee is not much inter ested in the atomic bomb, but primarily in getting the money, delayed, from us anything up to or over $5,000,000,000, to set his financial house in order so his socialist party can buy in dustries for his own purely po litical purposes. He has never made out an economic case of government need for these industries (see past columns) for any other than his purpose to prove socialism. He has presented us with no prospectus of reconstruction for Britain showing how she could use our money to make more business for us or her to ex pand production. a a WHAT this poor, sick world " needs is to get away from politics and back upon the beam of realism in economics. By throwing away the atom bomb or money in bad loans for po litical purposes, we can destroy the world; (A) By giving more people the atomic means of destroying lt, and, (B) By whirling ourselves up through politics into an infla tion which will destroy us as a major power, make us bankrupt like them, with complete ruina tion of our force for good and for peace in the world. Every nation recognizes today we are the remaining major in fluence for good which does ex ist in the world. We must main tain ourselves in order to be able to use that influence.

Your Idea that young men trained under present plans, might actually be handicapped, later required to use the n.'v er weapons, I consider as spa cious an argument as if I said your printers would be slower Imam an if,w i fcaadaflsauusjaasraa 7e (foeat 'Hecv uuu-iFuni AUTOMOBILES in the medium and low-price bracket u-ill soon be on tbe market.

Oregon and Southwest Washington BR 5634 1737 S.W. Morrison, Portland S.Oregon to learn the use of some entirely new printing equipment than green help from the street. 2. Perhaps you do not realize that a.very large part of military training consists of many other things besides the handling of certain weapons. A young man, particularly one from the cities, has a world of things to learn about living a very strenuous life in environment entirely different from home. He must kn ow the best ways to care for his body, his equipment and his quarters, in fact thousands of details that he must know in order to act as part of the entire organization. 3. PerhaDS the most import ant thing of all Is the learning of discipline, a moral or spiritual Quality that is so largely lack ing in young people today thanks in large measure to the ideas of education coming from Columbia university. Consider the widespread youthful disre gard for civil law. 4. Finally I think many people have exactly the opposite viewpoint from the right one when they think of universal military training as something to he nvnided. if there is any pos sible way. On the 'contrary it is a wonderful pnvilage to De trained in time for any hard task. I recently stopped at the office of a local dairy and when chatting with the young Ifdy who sold me some milk, I was very much delighted to hear her say that she had two sons and wished to have them trained. If the United States some day are required to furnish their share of military might in enforcing tho will of the United Nations in restraining some aggressor, there will never again be time to prepare after a war is start ed. Untrained young men are as sheep going to the slaughter. Horace W. Thompson. Y Washington. Nov. 7 4I.B- Twenty-three hospitals held By the army will be released by Jan. 1, 1946, Maj. Gen. Norman T.
