Mr; Roosevelt says the intri cate forms have' represented-a sincere attempt to see that goods vys are distributed on a fair basis ,4xj;Sand living costs are held at a Epley stable level.-' He further prom ises that administrative procedures will be sim plified, 'at the same time guarding against loop holes for chiselers and manipulators. Thus,- a public howl that was justified, and was carried into the halls of congress, seems to have brought at least potential results. Wh(le most people generally will agree with Mr. Roosevelt's conclusion that the purpose be- . hind the form and questionnaire business has been . sin.cere .andworthy, what has happened, appears to betray a mania for regulation on the part of some governmental agencies that de serves careful scrutiny. Where the regulation not just the forms and questionnaires is car- -ried to absurd lengths, public, disapproval is justified. Perhaps the American public can be trusted I News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, Jan. 7 The outgoing Mr, VV Leon Henderson and the remaining fuel oil rationers have not the slightest idea what they have done to the average rT-W!ws , Individual home owner. Their statements before the! senate oil-gas committee rang the same old notes about "not being tough enough," "people not cooperating," and "stronger rationing to come." They are all good, genial, con scientious men, but they are thinking in terms of national stmrtltf. nnta nuntnc nnrl crml- less statistics. They simply do P ,ul MUon not understand the human problems they have put on the average man. Personal case histories are scarce. No one furnishes them in the debate. But I. will tell mine and prove It with documentary evidence, if it will, bring these officials any. nearer a realization of the human problem-In which they have involved the nation. It is an average case, not nearly' as bad as many but it shows such a condition of confusion and misunderstanding as" almost to defy solu tion. I spent some hours filling out their long blanks and measuring the square footage of each room of my house last fall. OPA an nouncements said they intended to allot two thirds as much oil this year as last. farther than some bureaucrats seem to think. We sometimes wonder what would, happen Smart TOUnOSterS Not Smart I . i t , . : . - . . If, instead of promulgating a rationing regular tion, the government would simply announce that shortages are critical In certain commod ities, and the public is asked to reduce their consumptionvoluntarily. . The result might be surprising. Some chisel ers and cheaters would benefit, but the finger of conscience might, weigh more heavily upon the average American- than it does in the case of specific government regulation. Whichever way-it is handled, however, the vast majority of Amerlcansjvill be found ready to make whatever -sacrifices are necessary to win the, war, to make it more pleasant and safer for our men in ; the services, and to stabilize the "country's wartime economy.

THEIR publicity men gave, out fancy stories about how Mr. Henderson's smart young men had worked out a complex formula based on weather for the last 10 years so everyone 'would get his "proper share. ' - " But when my coupons came back, the cut was 50 per cent. My last year's bills showed consumption of 4325 gallons in the mildest Washington winter of a decade, but my allo cation was 2200. gallons for what is proving to be the worst winter in the same period. Right there, I found Mr. Henderson's smart young men were not smart for me. Instead -of measuring cubic footage of rooms, as every -heating man "does when installing a furnace, they measured floor space only. . The people in our neighborhood with low ceilings, in some cases, got more oil than they needed, whereas the man with high ceilings did not get enough to run the winter at any ten rooms, with two story ceilings,-left some dwellers with a-pittahce. Madhouse Y oil dealer informed me there was no use going to the rationing board even today. It was a madhouse. As late as this, it had not been able to allocate coupons to all the people, so there was no need to seek reconsideration. Clerks had largely volunteered, were untrained and the average of mistakes was high. Luckily, I had a vacation in December, so I closed the house for a month and went away to use the heat of others. Coming back, I felt comforted by announcements from OPA that all Washington dealers had enough oil, although I could hardly reconcile this with the news in the same paper that the British embassy had no heat for several days. ' My dealer thereupon informed me the value of my coupons had been cut 10 per cent and anyway he wouid. have no oil for ''three or four days," although there were only 10 gallons in my tank. The only other oil dealer in town had plenty, but OPA had issued a regulation preventing him from serving any except his old customers. The government had prevented him from serving me.

Umatilla county has stories In the downstate papers telling that it is sending four legislators to Salem. That is really something to brag about.

It 'didn't, and re-apportionment failed.

THE .RUSSIAN PROPOSITION BONANZA, Ore., (To the tauor; &o i won t be misunder stood, I wish to state I am proud and happy that I am an Amer ican, and was born in the good old UbA. It is the best govern ment that ever existed. It may have its faults, but it Is within the citizens' power to vote to rectify any shortcomings. A capitalist democracy like America gives the "rugged In dividualist" a chance to go somewhere, to achieve some thing. We howl about Russia and her system. Of course we do not want her form of govern ment here; but it seems to suit the Russiuns. Let them have it. In this present world conflict, every man, woman and child in Russia is willing to fight and die .foe their country. They are the mast patriotic people In the world. They appreciate their government. They remember the despotic and starving condi tion under the tsars. Yes, and they appreciate Joseph Stalin. They know he wants to help them. He gets a small salary. $6000, about what mayors of many. American cities get, Stalin was no fool when he made that last treaty with Ger many. Russia was not ready for war. It gave her time to prepare for wnat she knew was coming. In "Mein Kampf," Hit ler said the Germans were go ing to have the Ukraine. It said the Russians would bo vassals of Germany, Stalin just laid low and got ready. - Xet me ask, would we not have had - an almost hopeless struggle if Russia had not ta ken the part she has in the war? Stalin said publicly he wanted every nation to be free. Let us extend a brotherly hand to the Soviets. Different races have differ ent ideas - and ethics. Anglo Saxons and northern Europeans want a capitalist democracy and will fight to maintain, it. Rus sia wants a communist democ racy, and will struggle to main tain it. They s a y Russia discarded God. They discarded govern ment religion. I heard two dif ferent ministers who had lived in Russia say all religion had to do in Russia was to mind its own business, to keep its nose out of state affairs and it could maintain the church. Under the old Russian church, a farmer could not plant his field unless a long-whiskered priest first sprinkled holy water on the land. There -were lots of other foolish things in their religion. Christ never taught such fool ishness. The church ot Christ is good, but It exacts nothing fool ish of its adherents. Well, with it' all we can say, "It will all come out in the wash." We will have to buy more bonds and still fight,, but the allied nations will finally whip hell out of the axis. .. We will have a better republic here, and Russia , will go along as she did before. England will do away with her dukes and lords. This will be a better and hap pier world. , , .Dr. W..F. Taber. LOS ANGELES, Jan. T (TV Lana Turner of the films, who recently announced sho expect ed a child this summer, today filed suit for annulment ot her marriage to Stephen Crane. The action, filed in superior court under the star s legal name of Julia Jean Crane, al leged that when she morrled Crone last July 17, ho had not obtained his final decree of di vorce from Carol Kurtz. Crnno and Miss Kurtz, (he suit added, were married in In aiannpolls, lnd in 1037, and separated early In 1041. Crano understood that his first wife had instituted divorce proceed ings then, but only recently he learned that sho did not obtain an Interlocutory degrco until year ago this month.
