IN The war hai dimmed out Broadway'! famed
briht light, but not its gay spirit. Unbeliev
able thousands sun jam u
streets nightly in the half
light. Pleasure-seekers fill its
hundreds of night clubs, bars.
a CY'l ? cocktail lounges and eating
it l J places, swank and otherwise.
? The season's leading plays
ftv niiaB Private
Tt cars are absent from the
streets, but fleets of taxicabs
mingle with the pedestrians at
the Intersections amid great
EPLEY honking and shouting. (Get on
the sidewalk. Fanner Jones!" a cabbie yelled
at us when we had an irresolute moment Just
off the curb.)
The whole thing gives the visitor a kaleldos-'
coplc impression of carnival gayety with hun
dreds of thousands participating every night.
The crowds, perhaps, are greatest when the
hows end around 11 o'clock, but midnight
means nothing here and it all goes on far into
the morning.
The number of eating spots and drinking
places, upstairs, on the level, and downstairs,
must run into startling statistics. And from
what we have seen, they are all doing a rip
roaring business.
There Is nothing else like it. We would like
to see it when the lights are on.

Seeing the Shows
A E have had time for four shows "Rosa
W llnda," a jolly operetta with music by
Jobann Strauss (a sign on the door reads. Late
comers will please waltz in gently); "Junior
Mist," a wholesome comedy your 12-year-old
daughter could safely see; "The Skin of Our
Teeth," Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer prize-winner,
and the rowdy "Star and Garter" with Gypsy
Hose Lee. That's not many, but it pretty well
coven the general classifications. We won't
discuss the plays, because we do not rate -with
dramatic critics, but we list them to indi
cate what visitor can see in four shows.
The current success is "Oklahoma," the The
atre Guild's new musical play; in fact, it is
so successful we can't see It. They're selling
tickets already for Labor Day.
An entertainment highlight of our visit was
Billie Rose's show at the elaborate "Diamond
Horseshoe" under the Paramount hotel. . .
None of this, folks, was sinful not even
Gypsy Rose Lee. You don't find surface sin
in this part of New York. The entertainment
here steers carefully away from the sordid,
a a a
New York Table Service
THEY'VE stuck eating places into all kinds of
I , locations here upstairs cubby holes, base
ments, sidewalks, roofs, and what have you.
What eating we've done from roofs has been
interesting because of the large volume of fine
soot (black snow to you) we've eaten without
ill effect. A chunk of butter gets black in
five minutes. But its cooler up there, and
the view, of course, is always good.
Speaking of views and eating, we decided
today we couldn't leave without a trip to the
observatory on top of Radio City in Rockefeller
center 70 stories. There's a tea room up there
where you can get coffee and sandwiches.
Also, there is a visitor's registration system,
with the registration segregated as to states. We
found the following names in the Oregon book:
Ruth and Earl Brooks, Klamath Falls; Mr.
and Mrs. C. L. Jimerson, Algoma; Ensign W.
K. Wilson, Malin; Marge and Bob Zimmerman,
Klamath Falls; Edgar H. Dent, Klamath Falls;
Lieutenant Wilbur C. WaaiH Merrill.
All of our fellow Klamathites had appended
appropriate remarks. Taking the cake was the
Brooks' notation, "Not as good as Molatore's."
(That's publicity for you, Harry.)
a a a a
Can in Mothballs
THE OPA has really put the private cars up
on blocks in this region. The papers carry
constant threats against any pleasure driving,
and frequent reports of arrests and punishment
of offenders. A gallon and a half a week
the A card allotment wouldn't go far anyway
in this city of long distances and constant
starting and stopping.
This puts the burden of transporting New
York's millions on the trains, trolleys and taxi
cabs. We never knew there could be that
many taxicabs. We've seen streets filled with
cars every one of them a cab. Needless to
say, there is a tremendous amount of pleasure
use of gasoline by the taxicab route.
Virtually all the cabs are of the sky-view
type, with a window on the top affording a
view of New York's skyscrapers as you ride.
The windows, however, are usually dirty, and
the View rather murky as a result. Sometimes
the windows are opened, and one of our fun
niest sights in New York was a group of tipsy
sailors with their heads stuck out of the top of
their cab.
The taxi fare is 20 cents for the first one
fourth mile, and 6 cents for each one-fourth
mile thereafter. The number of passengers
makes no difference in the fare. Cabs can be
caught almost anywhere at any time, and a
lot of people ride on what appears to be an in
exhaustible gasoline supply, regardless of OPA.
News Behind the News
Br PAUL MALLOH N
WASHINGTON, July 18 From a dearth, we
seem about to hop Into an overabund
ance of meat on butchers' hooks.
The first arrivals of large
quantities of beef cattle at
Chicago and St Louis this
weak heralds a period of
heavy farm marketing of beef
similar to that which has de
veloped in hogs and for the
same reason. When a steer,
lamb, or hog becomes fat,
there la only one place for
him, the market.
With winr Kt,.tn-V n th
""01' country today than ever be
fore and feed at a premium, it is evident that
before September 1, the market must be flood
ed with all kinds of meat
This super-abundance Is almost as bad as too
little. It means that much of the cattle and
hogs which ordinarily would be kept for the
coming winter supply will be used now to the
disadvantage of all concerned.
Curing of the meat shortage in this way,
therefore, will only quiet for a time the
popularly recognized necessity of again reor
ganizing the administration's food program.
Since the caustic congress left town, Food
Administrator Marvin Jones has put out an
optimistic prophesy that he will expand all
food acreage nearly one-third next year. This
makes pleasant newspaper reading, especially
over an empty plate, but only for persons with
short memories.
This same administration expected a large in
crease in food production this year, insisting
upon its optimistic figure before congress, as
late as January. Now it concedes production
will be less than last year.
Any impressive hopes for expansion will
await a definite program curing the causes of
decreasing production farm labor fears, prices
and disorderly marketing fears, and farm ma
chinery fears.
Behind all the forth and back publicity,
the situation still obviously calls for a strong
non-political, mathematical single head at the
top here. One food director, empowered to
direct production, marketing and price fixing,
could, if able to handle figures and people,
call in the farmers, packers and OPA price
. experts and work out a definite, complete pro
gram so that everyone involved would know
precisely what is expected of him and what
he is to do.
Until this is done, no confident solution
seems possible. The administration undoubted
ly will get around to it eventually, but prob
ably not until forced by the pressure of events
yet to come.
a
FCC-Cox Fight
THE FCC-Cox dispute has developed into a
straight-out liberal-conservative fight, as
does practically everything here sooner or later.
In the political argument, the merit of facts
on either side, as usual, has become lost
Consistently, the news accounts carry, for
instance, an inference suggesting Chairman Cox,
of the house investigation committee, accepted
a $2500 fee from a local radio station in his
district for appearing before the FCC in its
behalf. This would be a violation of federal
law.
If true, Mr. Cox should have been indicted
and tried long ago, as the charge is nearly a
year old. The congressman's-explanation (which
is not very dear and is seldom published along
side the charge) is that he took the amount in
stock and turned it over to a charity, and that
the payment waa not for legal services for a
government department anyway.
What is more important than either the
charge or the explanation is that the justice
department (completely controlled by liberals)
never has made a move to indict Cox. The
defending New Deal liberals seem content to
reiterate it day after day, to muss up and
embarrass the house investigation of FCC.
The investigation seems to have a fairly good
case against that frequently hot-headed agency,
but the case is likely to be smothered by the
embarrassing presence of Cox at the head of
the investigating committee and by the cloak
of war secrecy with which Mr. Roosevelt has
protected tha commission files.
a
The Elusive Italian Fleet
THE size of the Italian fleet, as detected by
our spotters at the outset of the Sicilian
invasion, was S battleships and 9 or 10 cruisers.
This rather formidable fleet was unbalanced
and deficient in destroyers and aircraft carriers,
large numbers of which have been sunk.
Our authorities were astonished, however,
when most of it lay huddled at Spesia in the
Italian boot, . only a few miles away from
Sicily, during the initial stages of Our sea borne
invasion. They knew it would have to come
out sooner or later, or scuttle Itself, but ap
parently, the Italian admirals were too afraid
of our superior air power to move.
Nothing could be a better harbinger of suc
cess for our campaign.

Stuttering Can Be Cured
By Physical treatments
Dr. Masters' Health Column
By Dr. Thomas D. Masters
Stuttering is a fairly common
(about 1 per cent) defect in man,
but is rarely so serious a condi
tion that it cannot be cured. Sev
eral theories and treatments
have been devised for this af
fliction, all of which are con
sidered as successful. If one of
them fails to cure the stutterer.
another usually will.
Probably because language is
so complicated, it developed late
in the process of human evolu
tion. The functions of language
are closely tied with manual
skill, and the understanding of
symbols, and these appear to
have reached their present de
gree of perfection because of the
dominance of one side of the
brain over the other.
TYPES OF TREATMENT
Our understanding of stutter
ing began with the theory that
the function of the muscles of
chest throat tongue and lips was
disturbed. The presence of spasm
involving some of these muscles,
at least was obvious.
This theory led to several
types of treatment. Breathing ex
ercises were performed, drills
were given in articulation, and
further training was directed to
ward teaching the stutterer to
roaster the movements required
in making the sounds which he
found difficult. Difficult conson
ants were avoided entirely.
The approach to treatment
from the point of view of faulty
mechanics of speech is the most
usual method of all, and has
helped more stutterers than any
other single method. But it is de
batable whether the training or
the associated psychological help
is more responsible for the im
provement. Later, another school of
thought developed, and its ad
herents thought that stammer
ing was due not primarily to
faulty mechanics, but to their
control by the mind, which is in-
