It is remarked in the Oregonian that legally, the people of Oregon do not have the power to recall a United States senator. Re gardless of this obstacle, we do not believe a recall move of the kind would get anywhere nor is it justified. Senator Holman's speech in the senate explaining his stand on the lend-lease bill shows clearly that his motives were honest and sincere, and that is enough for the average citizen, regardless of his disagreement with the senator's opinion. "While the election to take either side of the issue was freely mine," said the senator in reference to his vote, "I chose What probably is the un popular side because I believe it is the right side for the welfare of the American people." In his speech, Senator Holman objected to the lend lease bill chiefly because of his belief that in it "is the surrender of constitutional powers by the congress to the president." He said further that the bill is designed "to make the president dictator of the resources, labor and destinies of the American people." Mr. Holman made an emphatic stand for national defense, urging that the United States "not now go afield, inviting it (the home land) to be attacked." He expressed his sympathy for Britain, but said "I cannot have a divided allegiance. I cannot at the same time serve the American interests and the interests of any foreign nation on the face of the earth, regardless of my personal sentiments." Many citizens will take issue with what Senator Hol man says, and right may be on their side in this vital question. But what is important is evidence that the senator's decision was based on diligent and conscientious consideration, and-he made his vote on that basis. No man can be expected to do more. I Crater Lake Winter Travel HAVE you been to Crater lake this winter? Have you ever been there in the winter time? A trip to the amazinar blue lake in its setting of snorw at this season is well worth, the while of anyone, whether he be skier or just plain sightseer. Travel to the lake has been somewhat less this winter than a year ago. At the first of the month, 1940-41 winter visitors numbered about 1800 fewer than on the corresDondinsr date of the previous year. It is not trood news that winter travel to the lake has decreased, when the beauty and snow sports attractions of an area opened to winter travelers only a few years ago should bring more people into the park each winter season. i Park service people attribute the travel statistics principally to the unfavorable weather on weekends throughout the past season, and we are inclined to agree .with that explanation. Even when there has been good weather through the week, unfavorable developments have occurred to discourage weekend trips into the moun tains. ; Further support of this theory is to be seen in the fact thatv weekday travel has been greater this year, while .weekend visitation has' fallen off. ? What' we are ; getting around to is a suggestion to people'of the Midland Empire country that now is a good time to -visit Crater lake. The weather has changed to the better,, and a trip to the park will be found invigor ating, inspiring', and interesting. Furthermore, if there is a good volume of travel now, it may offset the losses of the bad weather weekends, and that will be helpful in convincing: national "park authorities of public apprecia tion of winter opening of; Crater Lake park. In response to an inquiry, we give herewith the names of Oregon senators who voted Wednesday against the bill which would have given Klamath county a senator of its own. They are : Best and Ellis of Umatilla ; Booth of Linn; Fisher of Washington; Franciscovich of Clatsop; Kenin and Mahoney of Multnomah; Childs of Linn; Mc Kenna of Multnomah; Stadelman of Wasco; Strayer of Baker; Wheeler of Xinn and Zurcher of Union. Most of these senators represent districts of a much smaller popu lation than the 17th district, which they refused to divide.

March 13 (UP)The Petain government announced today United States "interven tion" may bring about a com promise with Great Britain, averting the use of French war ships to convoy foodships through the British blockade. An official spokesman said the Vichy government is highly sat isfied with American reaction to Vice-Premier Admiral Francois Darlan's warning Monday that unless Britain lifts the food blockade within "a few weeKs" he is prepared to use the guns of the French fleet for convoys. To "Avert starvation The possibility is seen the United States will intervene di rectly with London and obtain at least a temporary relaxation of the blockade whereby 600,000 tons of American wheat can be shipped to unoccupied France to avert starvation. The French government was said ready to give concrete guar antees none of the American wheat or other foodstuffs will reach the Germans or Italians. Admiral Darlan, it was said, intends to take no action toward bringing the immobilized French fleet into use to protect food con voys until Washington's answer to his request for the 600,000 tons of wheat is received; The request, Darlan has an nounced, was transmitted to U. S. Ambassador Admiral William D. Leahy Sunday night The spokesman said the Petain government of Vichy ii under no obligations of any kind to furnish foodstuffs by requisition to Ger many, hence any supplies reach ing unoccupied France will re main here and "cannot possibly affect Germany's ability to con tinue the war." At the same time, the spokes man said, Germany has no obli gation either moral or under in ternational law to feed the peo ple of unoccupied France. Itroadcasters To Talk Music Itow NEW YORK, March 13 (UP) Neville Miller, president of the National Association of Broad casters, announced today that the organization's board of di rectors will meet here Monday to "consider the whole question" of a new contract which again would make available for gen eral radio use the music con trolled by the American Society of composers, Authors and Pub lishers. ASCAP controlled music has not been heard on network and most Independent stations since January 1, when a previous con tract with the composers' society expired. The broadcasters had rejected an ASCAP proposal for a renewed contract. Broadcast Music, Inc., was established as a rival to ASCAP and all but about 200 radio stations de pended on BMI Bnd uneopy righted music. GET WONDERFUL RELIEF Fet Bum and Iteb ei Simple Prl-L-E-S!!

AFTER DRY SPELL SEATTLE, March 12 (UP) Unusually warm weather throughout the Pacific north west today was accompanied by an outbreak of forest brush fires, most of them minor. The U. S. forest service issued a forest fire warning, and weather officials predicted con tinued sunshine and above-normal temperatures. Humidity alao was lower than usual, the forest service warning said. For the second successive day, Seattle' temperatures reached the 70 degrec mark. Reports of forest fires cen tered in western Washington and Oregon. Seventy-five fires were reported north of Seattle within 48 hours. The largest blaze cov ered 500 acres In the LInwood area. Several homes were threat ened but firefighters ringed the blazes with water. Fern Fire A 700-acre fern fire near Sad dle Mountain state park In north western Oregon approached a reproduction area but the seed lings were not believed In Im mediate danger. A district fire warden's crew near Forest Grove, Ore., fought a small fire caused by a cigarette on the roadside of the old Wilson river road. It was the only new outbreak reported in Oregon. Washington State Forester T. S. Goodyear said in Olympla 400 men were fighting brush and for est fires in southwest Washing ton, all caused by farmers trying to burn ferns off their land. A 100-acre fire sprang up on the Coweeman river and an 80- acre blaze on Toutle river, both In Cowlitz county. Clark and Swamanla counties reported five fires of about 20 acres average. Goodyear warned that farmers would be arrested for setting fern fires without taking ade quate precautions, although ordinarily the official permits for burning must not be secured be fore April IS.

CREOMULSION for Couehi.Chtit Coldi, Bronchitis WASHINGTON. March 13 w Mr. Roosovelt has covered over one of the most hectic strug gles of his administration by re cent slrto remarks belittling the Importance of defense atrlkos so fur. Actually ha has had more troublo tha lust few weeks with that problem than with Hitler or the lend-lease bill, and Is now on the verge of a solution. Once before, about two weeks ago, a solution fell flat, so It may yet be unwise to accept too con fidently the terms of the r rangement. But as recently as 24 hours ago a final draft of an executive order contained these following terms: Institution of a federal media tion board to be composed of four representatives of labor, four of industry, and three of the public. The public representatives to bo Bernard Bnruch, who would itct as chairman of the board, former Governor Lloyd Stark of Missouri, and a third person of similar outstanding calibre yet to be chosen. The four labor seats to be di vided equally by AFL and CIO. Tho board would not be given compulsory powers and would act only In tho most difficult de fense labor cases submitted vol untarily. It would not, therefore, Interfere with the conciliation service of the labor department or tho labor board. It moy now be related the Idea was worked up by the Hlllman organization, the national Indus trial conference board, and Un dersecretary of War Patterson some weeks ago. Tho adminis tration chose Dan Tracy, assist ant secretary1 of labor, to go to Florida and sell It to tho AFL at the winter executive council meeting. In that meeting William Hutcheson of the carpenters un ion expressed some apprehen sions that compulsion might lurk somewhere In tho background of the idea, and that the conciliation service, which has been efficient, would be supplanted. Upon Tracy's assurance that both ob jections would be met In a final draft, tho council approved the Idea. But then tho labor coordina tor, Mr, Hillman, ran into further obstacles when he presented It February 28 to his labor policy advisory committee, a group of sixteen labor leaders who meet with him each week. The CIO groups were hesitant and some further doubts were expressed by AFL delegates. Hit by objec tions from both sides, the plan fell flat. CIO PLAN Mr. Hlllman went over to see CIO's president, Phil Murray, af ter which conference it was even flatter. Murray was advocating the CIO industrial cbuncll plan which went much further than mere mediation. Ho wanted council representing manage ment and labor appointed for each industry with powers to run that Industry as it pleased. One specific duty it would have was to promote industrial labor bar gaining arrangements. The auto mobile industry council, for In stance, dominated by CIO, could tell Ford presumably he would have to take a CIO contract. Ob viously the plan was designed to promote CIO organization rather than labor peace. HINTS Mr. Murray was thereupon called over to the White House for lunch. After a long argument he emerged with the hinted sug gestion that the president would adopt his plan. Next day Mr. Roosevelt hinted the CIO would adopt the administration's medi ation plan. But shortly thereafter it be gan to appear Mr. Roosevelt's hint was nearer right. The whole hearted approval of the AFL was confirmed by direct negotia tion. Mr. Murray was left with tho alternative of changing his mind or taking the responsibility of letting strikes weaken the American defense effort, A prisoner in Concord, N. C, jail wanted to get out because he said he was "getting too much to eat." Looking for Bargains? Turn to the Classified page SIDE GLANCES wwt ' These urc my friends.
