Member Audit Buma CircuUtioa EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY IT looks mare and more as if the Japanese will have opportunity to test the theory they 'LW"' nn,imi,ticai;v when the Americana r . first landed on me France. . , . At that time, we picked up n Jap news commentator on short wave who explained that the Germans welcomed the landing, inasmuch as it would give them just that many more divisions of Amer icans and British to destroy. If the Japs feel they need Americans close at hand in order to destroy them, they 5I1UUJU UC Q. -' f pier, rather than resorting 10 sucn iace-iosing antics as throwing out the cabinets that liave presided over Jap affairs while the Americans were advancing toward their homeland. Under the theory suggested by the Jap com mentator, every American landing is a step toward Japanese victory.. Why . all the worry in Japan? Come to think of it, the Japs may have thrown out our commentator along with his theory. We haven't been able to pick him up recently. Another Problem " SPEAKING of the serious problems of the Nippon government, . thevi have another in widespread hari-kari among fighting men. Com mitting suicide has gotten to be so common that it is apparently-creating a manpower short age in the Jap navy. Some 260,000 sailors have done it since Pearl Harbor. The Jap government now suggests that while . it's still honorable to take the quick route, Nippon needs its men to fight its enemies and they ought at least to postpone the deed. The Coos Bay Times, discussing this dilemma of the Japanese, asks how the Nippon govern ment is going to enforce its no-hari-kari act. Punisljment by death won't be the solution, says the Times, because that is what the of fender wants. If he's an offender, it's what he has already got News Behind the News ' By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, April 10 If you like this column in general, you could well skip it today. If you do not, you may enjoy my -predicament. - Some readers have been throwing snow balls at me in abnormal volume, and some editors have come along with complaints, like this one: .- "I wish Paul Mallon would give us the sort of column he formerly did. He used to be a great reporter. Now he devotes himself ex clusively to writing editorials. Is that his real forte? People: have noticed the difference." t That makes it sound rather bad. I think there' have been some differences, but too few people have noticed them. So this one column is on the house. It should interest readers to glance back at the record, particularly as an example of this type of journalism, which has been rather widely misjudged and misinterpreted. Last January 9 when the unsettled condi tion of the peace policy was a front page and editorial page topic, you should have read in this spot: - .'. ' "The administration plan: is to stage a Big Three conference - (Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin) for a final settlement of principles in a postwar club of nations, and then have the working diplomats draw'up. a, -charter for it, which will be ready in April (they hope and expect.)" ..... Not Remembered THEN came Livadia, and now the San Fran cisco conference is coming April 25. Bui just because it was not written in the vein ol journalism which shouts "Wuxtra, Wuxtra, 1 just have a piece of sensational information right out of the feed box," not even my com plainant remembers it. Next day, January 10: "The club naturally would guarantee hei (Russian) gains forever with arms and perpetu ate a postwar Europe which directly or in directly is dividing spheres of influence be tween Russians and British, with Russia in possession of the lion's share" ... "The coming Mexico City meeting is sup posed to bring Argentina around and establish a front of diplomatic solidarity on our longi tudes." (And this was written at a time when not only the liberals but most writers were berating the harsh position of the state department on Argentine, which I then reported was merely a device for bringing them into the fold.) The Russian notice of abrogation of the non aggression pact with Japan announced last Thursday was written here February 15: "Best news of the Crimea conference was not made public. Russia is to become a full ally of the United States by joining us against Japan," and probably before the April 25 con ference. .... Arrangement Published THE crucial voting arrangement agreed upon at Livadia and announced several weeks thereafter was precisely published here Febru ary 21: . ". ." . Russia won her point . . . The Big Five can take up any important case of future threatened war by majority vote, but steps to prevent war can be taken only by unanimous vote," (a decision which shook all commenta tion and commentators when officially divulged thereafter.) Necessity for the choice of General Mac Arthur to head the final crushing of Japan was strenuously advocated Feb. 27 when the press was full of contrary reports that the navy or one of MacArthur's assistants would be chosen. At that time the reports reflected a move ment to sidetrack him. His choice was fore cast in a column about a week later and an nounced in giant headlines last Thursday. My complainants might say this advocacy of MacArthur was editorial. Well then, it was right. The appointment was made. ' It was a prophetic forerunner of news to come. -The choice of Fred Vinson in Jesse Jones' place was published here some weeks in ad vance (February 15): "At a meeting of the top men around Mr. Roosevelt it was decided all would get behind Fred Vinson," etc. The day the appointment was made a finan cial journal was reporting the job would go to Mariner Eccles, but the same February 15 column accurately said Eccles had turned down the offer before the choice of Vinson. February 27: 'The Volcano, Bonnin and Ryukyu islands adjacent southward of Japan must be seized even beyond the Iwo venture to afford land bases for our planes to cover an attack on the Japanese mainland." February 14 (when immediate victory was being commonly prophesied:) "Popular predictions that the end in Europe is a matter of days or a couple of weeks, are not justified by the inner military facts . . ." A few days after Mr. Roosevelt submitted his workers draft (manpower program): "Mr. Roosevelt is just shoving a politically unpopular issue raised by the armed services upon a congress he knows will reject it they suspect" They did reject it. The elevation of Mr. Vinson to assistant president was carried March 2 along with the filling of Harry Hopkins' shoes by Ed Flynn, although these matters have not yet been otherwise published. There are other citations available but these are enough to give the people proof of the line of difference upon which I have been hewing. Whatever class of journalism it is, call it what you like, it has proved itself sound. - It is not scoop journalism. . It is not edi torial, because it is informative. It is not commentative, because it is analytical. - Whenever I think anything is right and new in the realm of news or opinion, I write it. The method has proved to be dependable.

Paul E. Davis, USMC, ' was forwarded to Mrs. O. L. Boorman, 5144 Miller, mother of the youth who has been a prisoner of the Japanese since the fall of Bataan. Mrs. Boorman is certain that the message came from Paul. He advised he was "still OK" and mentioned seeing several west coast men including Jerry Moore of Salem, son of Mrs. Kathleen Moore of that city. Paul said "tell Aunt Julia hello" and repeated he had re ceived one package from home, one letter and a Red Cross pack age. He also inquired as to some acreage in which he was interested prior to going into the service. Sgt. Davis was 28 on March 30. He was with the 4th marines at Shanghai but evacuated to Manila in 1941.
