Muni Omit PUIUSHlERJ $ 5)1 ATI ON Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Three attempts to assassinate Herr Hitler by top drawer Ger mans of high rank, all failed, it Is revealed at the Nuernoerg trial. Every time the plot fizzled. None of the eight lead ers cared to be a hero, and shoot Der Fuehrer with a Luger. The bomb was their favorite weapon Had there been 3,000 Hitlers it would have been different. The records of the war show they were most effective as mass murderers operating with the highly touted German efficiency on wholesale basis. As catch-as-catch killers they were bunglers. Big winds lashed western Ore Ron over the week-end. There has not been so much atmos pheric disturbance hereabouts since a democratic candidate for governor ' and six right-hand men, lashed out at Jackson county on the same afternoon. e "REDS TO SQUAT IN IRAN AND SO WHAT." (Hdllne Cor- vallls Gazette-Times.) A great truth pops up, in a diplomatic tangle. In the feeding of the humfty of Europe, Germany will be on the same footing as the victims of her aggression, Uncle Sam de crees. In the light of recent Teutonic helllshness and ruth lessness. It seems only fair that the former Idolators of Nazism no end be required to eat at the second table and then wash the dishes. HELPFUL HINT (Bend Bulletin) "According to the League of Oregon Cities, lone Is in nood of a siren. 'Have you an ex tra siren?' asks the league. No, but we saw one the other day. Didn't seem to be busy, either." e Labor leaders are busy rebuf fing the president for his pro posal to end labor strife. What the administration needs is some body who will talk back to them, not coo like Madam Perkins did. when the only woman cabinet member. Nobody rebuffs John L. Lewis of the mine unions. The last time the CIO czar tried It he was oratorlcully ripped apart. Sport editors arc now In their annual amazement over fresh men half backs scoring touch downs In crucial games of the past season, while a senior Inng uished on the bench. Something should be done about such rank injustice. No freshmen hack should be allowed lo score the winning touchdown. The most he is entitled to by his thrilling effort, is to have the honor of tying the score. e Many report they have caught colds. Others, not so boastful, admit the colds caught them MORE WHAT AILS U. S. A. "Truth is not In America to lay! We sec tills statement in the puzzled faces of returning men and women who have not seen this bcllyfat collecting on her girth. We see it in the racketeers who govern colloc tive bargaining (what a mockery of a term) both in the picket line and in the directors' meet ing. We see it in the false and niiiauoiiary uuiionery of gov eminent as well as in the slink nig torrn who collects $18 for a fifth. We see it in the shame faced farmer and livestock man who takes his pap of subsidy as well as in the government con tractor- who basks in Palm Beach or Hollywood." (Km- poria (Kan.) Gazette. Japanese Women s First Ballot The sudden opening of the ballot box to the women of Japan marks a tradition-breaking milestone in the movement looking to greater freedom for Japa nese women. About 60 years ago. a Japanese "Susan Anthony," Miss Kageyama, started a campaign for women's rights, was jailed for her daring. Throughout the Orient the idea of granting women a share in political life made practically no progress until 1935, the National Geographic Society points out. In that year the Philippines government granted equal voting rights to the women of the islands. Previously this privilege had been extended in parts of India only. Less democratic Japan did not grant suffrage even to men until 1925. T1HE social position of the Japanese woman has long been carefully circumscribed. In early times the Japanese held their women in higher regard, as shown by their ancient reverence for the bun Goddess, and the heroic proportions to which the Empress Jingo grew after the third Christian century. It was her peaceful conquest of Korea that exposed Japan to Chinese influence. Buddhism proved a reactionary force in the sixth century; and under Chinese and Korean influence, Japanese law definitely fixed women in an inferior position. Coniucianism was even more retarding in its influence. Chinese emphasis on the importance of the family as the social unit stressed male dominance, and denied woman's rieht to choose a husband for herself. This same family reverence prevented her divorcing her husband for infidelity or cruelty, although the wife could be divorced for such a common failing as talk ativeness. In spite of such partiality, women were more influential within the family circle than was generally conceded. IN the twelfth century, Yoritomo, Japan's first shogun nr enrnmander-in-chief. was so influenced by his own wife, Masako, that he appointed some of Japan's : abler women to positions m the government, tie made it mandatory that a widow receive at least four fifths of her husband's estate. He also made legal the widow's adoption of an heir, if childless. Following the opening of Japan to the western world, in the 19th century, Emperor Meiji stressed education as essential to the adaptation of Japan to an industrialized world. He urged upon J apan's early diplomats and aristocrats that they travel with then wives, daughters and sisters in order that the women might see how those in other lands were educated. e e IN the late 19th century Japanese women were first sent to western countries for study. Comparatively few enjoyed this privilege, but they formed an in fluential social segment with a knowledge of western customs. The new point of view was spread by mis sionaries and teachers from Christian countries wno painted a broader and brighter picture of woman s sphere. American movies further extended ideas of freedom for women. By the beginning of the present century women when thev reached the age ot 'lb had tne rignt to choose their own husbands. It was forbidden to force woman to marry against her will, or tor a nusDami to desert his wife. Women were permitted to possess property and, with the consent of husbands, to engage in business, roiygamy was auuusm-u. Tim fomniisr. movement was forwarded by the Blue Stocking Coterie, organized in 1911, and opera tive for three years. The New women s association. formed in 1920, also continued lor tnree years, n ,oc cr.r.f.nrlrvi hv the Women's Suffrage Federation, which waged a campaign in western style in the face of many difficulties. By 1925 a tenth of the Diet was converted to votes-tor-women. in.u. people read one copy of a news paper when it is a family news paper. . . . An oldtimer informs me when the major league catcher, "Broadway Alex" Smith was sold by the Giants to Chi cago he refused to report and in so doing gave voice to the immortal remark: "I would rather be a lamp-post on Broad way than the mayor of Chicago. PLEASE NOTE Many men who have for years been reading in racing charts and other places how many lengths a horse won by do not know how long the length of horse is. That these men may cease to be ignorant on so vital a matter we- call attention to fact that the average racehorse measures eight feet from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail. A racehorse usually covers the distance of his own length in one-fifth of a second. YOUNGER SET The Tennessee girls are still marrying young. Not only that, many are getting divorces at an early age. A Treazwell, Tenn., girl who married at the age of eleven recently was divorced at the age of thirteen. That may be the record for age of a divorcee. However, the records show that annually in the United States about 250 girls of fifteen become divorcees. CHAMPION Am informed a banker who commuted daily from Ft. Wayne, Ind., to Chicago, a distance of 150 miles, was once named Chi cago's champion commuter. This old boy commuted via the Twentieth Century Limited which stops at Ft. Wayne. That certainly is high class commut ing. I don't think this banker should have been eligible to compete with the poor devils who had to do their commuting In day coaches. after thinking It over, the un ions will drop their resistance, Those who have looked into the facts of the auto workers' case say the fact-finding com mission can be expected to rec ommend a wage increase be tween 15 and 20 per cent, which should be eminently satisfactory to the union. They have some facts of which I am not fully awara, indicating prices and living costs would justify that much of a boost. Such a decisioi. would practically fix a national policy and could conceivably solve the whole situation. If the auto workers go against this solution, the whole union case will go back to its current chaos. Furthermore, union resistance would practically force congress to pass some of tne pending Dins requiring the unions to meet their national responsibilities in a degree commensurate wltn their great national political power to sue and be sued at least, and perhaps made suoject to the antitrust and other laws, thus placing them on an equal footing for the future with busi ness. There are no other alter natives. Therefore, my guess is labor will come around and ac cept the solution.

Why Is it thnt Leo men are so hard to jnderstand? 1 am a Leo, there fore your query interests me, Q. In which of his works did Kipling say: "A woman is only a Aomnn but a good cigar is a smoke?" A. Kipling's poem. '"''he Bclrothed," deals with a young woman who told her swee'heart to give up smoking cigars or re linquish all claims on her. As the poem has it: Moggie has written a letter To give me my choice between The wee, little whimpering love And the great god nick c' teen. After carefully considering the ultimatum the young man made his decision as follows: A million surplus Maggies Are willing to bear the yoke And a woman is only a woman Hut a good cigar is a smoke.

PASSING BY David Warfield. Stage star of the yesteryear. Just celebrated his seventy-ninth birthday. Had his first part In "The Ticket of Leave Man." His greatest hit was as Herr Anton von Rnrwig In "The Music Master." His last appearance before retiring was in "The Merchant of Venice." Mr. Warfield has lived in the same apartment on Central Park west for thirty-eight years. That must be a Manhattan record for continuous residence in one apartment. I believe George Jean Nathan, drama critic, has lived in the same New York apartment for thirty-five years. SIDELIGHTS Your daily column is a must with all six of us Donnelly," writes a California!!.

If the unions have a just case, they can get Justice from the program. A final decision by one represen tative of labor, one of manage ment and the third deciding man from the public, represents the oesi possible hearing labor could expect to get for its cause. Even then the decision is not binding. It merelv represent a public Judgment as to what is right and just, and carries only the weight and power of its manifest fairness. But the unions have built up a great pressure game now be hind the auto workers' case. That strike was the front run ning test case for the 30 per cent wage increase demand, backed by all labor, Including Mr. Green and his A. F. of L.. although they have not said much about this phase. White heat fervor has been worked up among the strikers and other union men eagerly watching the result of the con test. It is not often noticed In the public prints, but the hu man element, the human pas sion and excitement of leaderi and men in strikes, is unques tionably a greater factor in the decisions which union leaders make than the wage facts of the matter, or the working condi tions. Nerves become frayed all down the line. Denunciation and recrimination of the man agements, and vice, versa, nat urally characterize the negotia tions rather than any cool con sideration of the facts (see Walter Routher's telegram to the president). The whole situ ation runs to emotionalism and propaganda on both sides, e TTHE great impetus which has made the railway labor mediation base program so suc cussful (only one minor strike in 19 years) was because both labor and management wanted it and got together and wrote it themselves. Resistance by the unions now to application of these sound settlement principles for the large strike cases in which the public has national interest may tend to impede the effective workings of the plan.
