Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
SOME weeki ago we remarked In this column
about the terrific pressure exerted against
anti-Inflationary controls In this country, with
Krair.thrnuch wcakenlnff
J. the entire control structure as
T; others follow In a vicious
circle.
; This lenaency nas nui
stooped. Federal rrice aq-
mlnistrator Prentiss Brown, in
talk at Milwaukee yester
day, pointed to one phase of, it
when he warned that tne
granting of such wage In
creases a s inose asKea a y
John L. Lewis for the miners
would mean loss of the fight against inflation.
Mr. Brown said. In effect, that the granting
el one Increase leads to another, because even
conservative-minded leaders, put on the spot,
will feel that it is necessary to follow suit with
demands for more wages for their people. Thus,
costs of production Increase, the cost of living
(nd taxes) goes up, and labor again feels
justified In asking anew for another increase.
What happens on the farm? Workers in in
dustry get higher wages, and farmers, to com
pete ior labor, have to offer higher wages. To
do that, the farmers exert pressure against the
ceilings on their products. If they break
through the ceiling, the increased prices for
their products represent an increase in the cost
of living, which calls for another increase in .
wages, and so on, around and around and up
ward and upward.
We all have to keep this overall picture in
mind, or somewhere along the line each of us
finds himself yielding to the temptation to sup
port some source of pressure which, by itself,
seems perfectly justified. We must realize that
in the long run, even our most selfish individ
' ual interests are served if we prevent inflation
from shaking our country's economic structure.
Another Secession?
REMEMBER the agitation for the new state
of Jefferson, to be formed out of an area of
southwestern Oregon and northwestern Cali
fornia? It was worth some interesting news
items just before Pearl Harbor, but it died
when the country went to war, because it was
squeezed out of the news.
Well, there's a new movement on foot for
secession from California. This time, the agi
tation is In the territory generally east of the
summit of the Sierras, according to Assembly
man Don C. Crawford of Washoe county, Cali
fornia, who has prepared a legislative resolution -calling
for a plebiscite in this district to see if
the people want to join up with Nevada.
According to Mr. Crawford's resolution, the
summit of the Sierras was fixed as the bound
ary line between California and Nevada by
congressional action in 1861, but later the Cali
fornia legislature established the present bound
ary. Crawford claims this boundary has been
in dispute for 80 years.
It is true there are parts of the area in
question which might logically be transferred
to Nevada. And there are parts which might
prefer to be joined to Oregon, particularly the
" district immediate adjacent to Klamath county
on the south.
But don't look for anything of the kind to
happen soon. People are too preoccupied with
the important job of winning the war to be
come interested in the juggling of state lines.
Our newspaper office, as most readers prob
ably know, is directly across the street from
the new district OPA office. Quite handy for
peeking purposes has been the lack of cover
ings on the big windows of the OPA office,
whereas we peekers have been able to hide
safely behind an old but workable set of Vene
tian blinds on our own glass. This morning,
the OPA blossomed out with a brand new set
of Venetian blinds. Is that neighborly?
Justice of the Peace William Titus of Bly,
charged by the grand jury with first degree
murder in connection with the shotgun death
of his wife, Erma, is steadily Improving at a
local hospital despite serious wounds which he
received in the same shooting affair. He is
expected to recover, and therefore to stand trial.
Justice Titus has three shotgun wounds in his
Side. Because of the serious charge against
him, the sheriffs office maintains a 24-hour
guard at his hospital room, an expensive but
necessary procedure.

News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 17 Some readers
have asked why the New York state
republican delegation could be counted so
surely for Ohio's Governor
" V'!l1 Brickcr at this early date as
' THl t0 give him elearl-v 0651
' 11 chance to be the 1944 nominee
(as disclosed in yesterday's
column). Nothing in politics
could be surer a year in ad
vance. It seems that Governor
Dewey does not like Wendell
Willkie drastically. Theirs is
not a temporary break and
cannot be, patched. Dewey
candidate. The sincerity of his
declination is not only suggested by his words,
but proved by his actions. This situation is
accepted as genuine by all New York state
politicians in the know.
But there is one thing which would put
Dewey into the race. If Willkie tries, or has
a good chance to get, any delegates in New
York state, Dewey will declare himself or per
mit himself to be drafted, which has come to
mean the same thing. It is therefore a foregone
conclusion that New York's massive bloc of
96 votes will go to Brlcker (where they are
already wending their way) or Dewey will act
to keep them out of Willkle's hands.
MALLON
himself is not a
SIDE GLANCES
Dewey Still In
DEWEY must not be counted entirely out of
the '44 picture. Those around him believe
his eye will not glance in the direction of the
White House until '48, but if the next national
convention should happen to reach a deadlock
between Bricker and Willkie, as seems unlikely
now,, the convention would no doubt turn de
terminedly to Dewey.
, Some readers were likewise surprised by the
' suggestion that Mr. Boosevelt might have
hard time being renominated for a fourth term
today. A fair, authentic, inside survey of states
would disclose the difficulties to all conclu-sively.
While the south outwardly seems looking for
some anti-Roosevelt place to go, destinations
have already been chosen in some instances,
while In others the opposition minds have met
sufficiently to clarify their state prospects. For
specific details Texas would probably go to
day to its governor as favorite son; Louisiana
and Mississippi would go uninstructed, possibly
(but not certainly) also Alabama. Georgia might
well go to Senator George. Virginia would
surely go to Senator Byrd and Maryland prob
ably to Tydings. Florida, South Carolina (the
Byrnes-Maybank-Baruch Influence?), North Car
olina and Kentucky look like Roosevelt possi
bilities, while Tennessee Is doubtful. (Mr.
Crump has not spoken yet, but he is restless.)
Elsewhere the democratic party opposition to
the fourth term is likely to center around Jim
Farley and favorite sons more or less friendly
to Farley. As democratic chairman of New
York, Farley has a bag of votes in the presi
dent's home state and could get (if he does not
already have) substantial support from Massa
chusetts, Connecticut, West Virginia, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, the Rocky mountain area, Pennsyl
vania (beyond Guffey territory), New Jersey
(beyond Hague), southern Illinois (beyond
Kelly) and many other states where his friends
are in local control. Senator Bennett Clark
should get Missouri, Wheeler Montana, McNutt
(if he is fired) Indiana.
Drive Power Missing
ALL this, adds up to serious lntra-party op
position to the nomination a nomination
which must appear to come eagerly seeking Mr.
Roosevelt If It Is to carry any prestige. Indeed,
the essential reason offered for the fourth term
nomination is that the party wants it. A vic
tory at the convention by 55 per cent of the
vote, or In the face of any substantial opposi
tion, would hardly be in keeping with the
premise on which it Is based especially as re
publicans are organized so thoroughly through
out the country and have a good chance to
win anyway.
Certainly the necessary driving power Is
still missing within the democratic party, for
the fourth term movement. No less prominent
a democratic figure, former Governor James
Cox of Ohio, has let It be said under the edi
torial masthead of one of his newspapers:
"This question (fourth term) can well wait at
least a year. The American people will cross
the bridge when they see the water. The bull's-
eye of our every endeavor must be to win this
ings drives in this county In March and April, .war and to win it in ways and methods clearly
They took on a tough job, but they are up to It. above the suspicion of politics."
Marine Describes 'Grenade
Baseball' on Guadalcanal
SPOKANE, March 17 M3) A
marine who went unscathed
through the hell of Guadalcanal
only to break an ankle In a
practice parachute jump after he
had left the Island, described for
reporters here games of "gren
ade baseball" played with the
Japanese during the "battle of
the caves." . '
Corporal Clarence A. Barthol
omew, with the first group of
marines to land in the Solomons,
said the Jnps fall back to the
Guadalcanal caves after the land
ing of the marines,
Grenades were tossed into the
caves and tossed back by the
Jap soldiers. So the marines
held the live grenades four sec
onds, allowing two seconds for
the toss Bild explosion, and still
some were tossed back.
Of the battle of "Bloody
Knoll" he said:
"If the Japs had got through
that night there wouldn't have
been any Henderson field or
Guadalcanal. A lot cf Japs came
up that knoll. They used fire
crackers and flares and a lot of
bullets. The next morning there
were 600 dead Japs on the hill."
What did the marines talk
about? Home, said the corporal,
and girls, and "the things we
used to do. What we wanted
most was a glass of cool beer."
The cod is the most prolific of
fish. About 3,000,000 eggs are
produced by a female 39 inches
long. I

PROPAGANDA CHARGES
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) We hear much pro
paganda these ' days and since
the lobby investigation commit
tee of the U. S. senate seized the
files of the organization known
as the "Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment" and, in
the year 1930 made a 5000 page
reportthey took the machine
apart so we can see first what
makes the wheels go around,
and those secret files revealed
that the organization was started
about the year 1926 and that
great credit was given to Mr.
Pierre duPont for aggressive
leadership and financial assist
ance that the group grew until
its board of directors numbered
428 of the wealthiest men of our
country, controlling over $40,'
000,000,000.
These senate investigators
found that the object of the or
ganization was to find an effec
tive way to get rid of their in'
come and incorporate taxes and
so they determined to make li
quor foot the bill, so they each
put one per cent of this amount
they would ordinarily put In in
come tax into a fund to bring
about repeal beside raising oth
er Immense sums they affiliated
with other organizations such as
the Women's Organization for
National Prohibition Reform;
the Crusaders and Voluntary
Committee of Lawyers, and then
they employed the ablest protest
sional propagandists and politi
cal experts to conduct the campaign.
They sent the money and their
experts to every part of the coiin,
try to defeat ail public officials
who were trying to enforce the
law, and to replace them with
men who would make it safe for
bootleggers.
They allied themselves with
the liquor interests, the under
world and the corrupt political
machines of both parties in every
city in the country.
They sent their money and
their lobbiests into the states to
bring about the repeal of state
enforcement acts and thus par
alyze their law enforcement
agencies.
To these activities they added
the most universal, persistent,
ruthless and efficient campaign
of propaganda this country has
ever experienced.
Professional propagandists pre
pared the materia), and it was
disseminated through the mail,
by hired speakers, by news
papers controlled through ad'
vertising and financing, by in
tlmldating politicians and other
ways.
The whole schema was utterly
selfish and should be exposed.
T..e prohibitionists are greatly
In the majority today, and while
the crusade against prohibition
caught them disorganized, they
are organizing again and are re
gaining lost ground rapidly.
I am one for prohibition and
want to hear from others.
