Ajaoeiatad Praas Mimbar Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY NO one was seriously hurt in the Dewey special train wreck, so the wags sot right busy with their quips. One observed that the accident was a break for the republican presidential candidate, inasmuch as it help ed him to get the headlines way from other big news that It brewing. Another, noting that Mrs. Dewey got a bump on the head, pointed out that Eleanor Roosevelt has been running around all over the world, getting nothing more serious than a nose-rubbing from a native South Sea chieftain. Dewey, apparently, took in EPLEY stride the train wreck, and a near-accident in the automobile In which he came on to Port land. In keeping with his theme, he evidently does not regard himself as an indispensable man. Had he fared worse, he probably figures, the republican party, the nation and the world would have made out somehow. He was spared injury or worse, and, with that good luck be hind him, be can go on with his attempt to create a magnificent accident for the New Deal on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. a a Indispensable Man IT WAS not until 1940 that Mr. Roosevelt was called upon to defend himself against the "indispensable man" charge. A man who runs for the presidency, and wins, is expected to try it a second time without being accused of get ting inflated ideas about himself. But in 1940, when custom and tradition indi cated it was time to step aside, Mr. Roosevelt "reluctantly" agreed to sacrifice his personal affairs and run again. He did, and won. In 1944, he again talked yearningly of Hyde park, but, evidently in the belief that no one else could do the job, offered himself once more at great personal sacrifice. It is quite evident that Mr. Roosevelt, almost against his own wishes, finds in himself an indispensable factor in na tional and world affairs. On this subject, Mr.. Dewey said in Portland: "Let's have no more pretense about indis pensable men. If our republic, after 150 years -of. self-government, is dependent upon the end less continuance of one man in office, then the hope which animated the men who fought for the declaration of independence and the con stitution have indeed come to nothing." It Wasn't Faked V A LOT of Klamath people, on the occasion of iC tonight's Dewey train stop here, will re member the -afternoon four years ago when Wendell Willkie made a platform appearance at the S.P.' depot. By way of advertising Klamath's wildlife resources (anofit did that, all right), a huge ; display of several dozen deer carcasses was arranged at the station. Power poles were put up, and the carcasses hung on cross-bars. There were so many of them, the huge rack almost broke down. Willkie saw the deer, all right, and pictures appeared in Life and other magazines and news papers. Willkie mentioned the deer just this year to a Klamath man he met in the east. But to some persons living in- the game starved midwest, the display was incredible. We once got a letter from a Klamath man in the midwest, asking us to send him newspapers and other evidence to back up his story of the ,deer showing on the occasion of the Willkie visit. People back there, he said, wouldn't believe it, and claimed that a postcard picture he had of the display was a fake. a . a a Been There? AN acquaintance of ours swears that she re cently was walking by a taxi stand when a cab drove up and the dispatcher called out to. the driver: "Go to Kokomo Hattie's first." Neither phone book nor city directory helped solve the mystery. Does anybody know about Kokomo Hattie's? WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 The sure spring - boards which Gen. MacArthur's men are seizing ndw, from which to jump into the Phil ippines and the simultaneous Quebec conference which was wreathed with victory smiles has made the front pages look like we can make short work of Japan. The various routine military planning announcements here are generally based on expec tations of another year. A few paragraphs from Kun ming telling of our withdrawal from the huee central China front at Kweilin, due to in- MALLON effective handling of the Chinese troops, shows the difficulties involved in clearing a half hemisphere of Japs. Without making any pretense of special in formation from the Quebec meeting, it is evi dent that this final victory involves what the military experts are already calling a "strategic nightmare." In general it looks easy, in detail it will be hard. a a No Military News THE Quebec meeting itself developed no news from admirals and generals who occupied the 700 hotel rooms and the 130 newsmen wrote nothing important. But an earlier war depart ment statement on plans for demobilization laid out a program obviously designed to move vast quantities of our troops fom Europe and this country into east Asia. This report indicated rather clearly that we intend to do the job of defeating Japan ourselves, and not rely heavily on arming the Chinese. One negative step taken at Quebec indicated also we are not planning a single overwhelm ing operation as in Europe. Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill said they did not consider com bining the operations of Mountbatten in Burma, MacArthur toward the Philippines and Nimitz in the ccntftl Pacific under a single head. Mountbatten's campaign has not been satis factory to many military observers, and much talk 'of his differences in strategic thinking with 3en. Stilwell has been heard. Quebec, by avoid ing action, seemed to confirm his leadership. There are some who think Mountbatten should already have rallied a sufficient British force in India for a large scale invasion of southern China and Burma, saying this should primarily be a British undertaking because they have the base from which to launch and supply it. Such a prospective campaign might have been expected from a change of commanders, but nothing leaking from Quebec 'has given it credence. a a a a Gigantic Undertaking NOW MacArthur is bent on conquest of the Philippines, which is a gigantic undertak ing in itself, but the Japanese officials publicly are expecting on their radio a direct, earlier invasion of Japan itself. Speculations that Russia will declare war on our side immediately after Germany has fallen are gaining wide publicity. But the Russians have only a guard force facing Manchukuo, which might not wish to undertake a winter . campaign. Also the bulk of the red army will be nearly a third of the way around the globe in Germany at the end of the European war. Immediately available, even if Russia joined in, would only be bases, air and naval, from which we might operate. So the plain inner facts indicate we will have to do the job ourselves. Churchill, with char acteristic factual humor, insisted Britain would not be deprived of the honor of killing Japs, but he mentioned his fleet and air force before land troops. The air force will be of greatest benefit be cause the fleet is reputed to be on a l-to-5 ratio with us, a decided departure from the old 5-5 days in -which our popular thinking is still grooved. ' The known facts also seem to say clearly we do not intend to go chasing Japs all over east Asia-. MacArthur's announced next jump into the Philippines (announced by Mr. Roose velt) will be short, but the steps from there to the China bases, Formosa and the southern Japanese islands will require another separate operation and should not await the conclusion of the Philippine seizure. We can go any place within reach of our air force, because what is left of the Jap force is subject to destruction by our superior power, e e a a Headed For Japan? . MY guess, therefore, is that we are heading straight for Japan as well as the Philip pines and Burma; that the reinforcements re leased from Europe will take a couple of months to get around to Asia; that Russia can not be of much help before spring, but particu larly this the extinction of the bulk of the Jap army strewn through northern, central and southern China must take at least a year frorr conclusion of the European hostilities, even if Jap power is definitely broken earlier by occu pation Of Japan.

Cflliet ffnv In the, hnw f ia whose football teams were big dui never quiet in winning three times as often as they lost, is gone from the football bench. Francis A, Schmidt, 58, died last night. A coaching career 26 years long and 175 victories high, which began in Oklahoma, left its mark in Arkansas and Texas and Ohio and Idaho, was closed out with the death of Schmidt, who came to a hospital here from his home at Moscow, Ida., two weeks ago. His physician said the coach's health had been failing gradually for half a year. The University of Idaho, where Schmidt fielded his last team in 1942, failed to renew his contract last March. It had joined other northwest colleges in a wartime abandonment of football the previous autumn, but the coach remained over winter to help with the physi cal training of navy students. - He moved into college coach ing at Henry Kendall college, later Tulsa university in 1915. and his teams startled fans with their unorthodox, "razzle daz zle" football. He moved on to Arkansas in 1922 and 1929 went as football and basketball coach to Texas Christian., where Schmidt teams won two south west conference titles in each sport. Ohio State university took Schmidt into the Western con ference, where he garnered an other crown 'and added to his victory list. Over the 26 years his teams lost only 57 games and tied 12. Schmidt is survived by his widow, Evelyn Keesee Schmidt. "Don't be nervous I'll be out in a jiffy, sir! They're having a sale on bedspreads and we've still got 10 miniilcs to make your train !"
