JSJS Sy e.rrler ye.r S7.S0 By mill r MOO Oulildi KlimiUl, Leke. Modoc, SliWou countlei -je.r $7.00 era with a report on the financial affairs of a relative of his. This relative was broke in 1936, when he landed tho porter concession in a swanky washroom in a big eastern hotel, where the customers were generous with tips for drawing warm water in a washbasin, brush ing off suits and shoes, holding out a towel, and other little services that anybody can do for himself. The washroom porter died the other day, worth $56,000. Member, Auoctited Preu Member Audll Bureau Circulation EPLEY cheap hotel in Today's Roundup , By MALCOLM EPLEY JUST back from a auickie trip to Portland, and wish to report that the hotel room situa tion in the Oregon metropolis is as tight as the house , problem at Klamath Falls. Our train, the hesitant Klamath,' arrived in Portland nearly two hours late, and the room we had reserved at good hotel had been rented to somebody else. We got the bad news by. telephone from the station. When that happens nowa days, you don't just go to another hotel and get a room. We tried that, and on advice of a local "expert" picked a the railroad district. Several other people had the same idea, and were grouped about the desk. Two bleary eyed elderly men were trying to take care of the business. While we looked on, one of them hunted unsuccessfully for the key in a numbered box which we could see as plain as day, and the other sent a patron upstairs to a room that was already occupied. That made the outlook pretty discouraging, there in the eerie light of the little lobby sur rounded by several odd-appearing characters. When two drunks staggered up arguing vehem ently as to whether it was May or August, we got out of there. We wandered up toward the better hotel district,, on foot because we couldn't find a taxi. In Portland at 2 a. m., the only people you se'e on the streets are drunks, lovers, and dog tired war workers homeward bound. A couple that obviously combined the first two classi fications stayed close on our heels for a couple of blocks, talking noisily about making each other happy, but offering nothing that would improve our personal prospects. Attar a telephone and personal canvass of the hotels, however, we landed something. We turned on the best we had In winning per sonality, aroused the sympathy of a girl night clerk at a good hotel, and she put us into a suite that she said had been saved for a larger party, because it just wasn't suitable for a single. We got the idea when a girl bellhop turned on the lights. There were three big beds in the room. That didn't bother us. We climbed in the middle one and got a swell rest in the midst of all those unused sleeping facilities. We had just a flicker of a thought of the people who would have given $10 for one of those empty beds before we fell into a sound snooze. ... Information YOU get a lot of interesting incidental intelli gence in the smoking compartment of a Pullman. We learned, for instance, that the standard gauge of a railroad is 4 feet 8V4 inches and that nobody knows for sure just who decided on that width between the rails. However, it is precisely the distance between the wheels of a Roman chariot. A negro entertainer, member of a show troupe traveling on our train, amazed his listen- The War Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Prast Foreign Affairs Analyst THERE is no solace for Japan in the silence I surrounding Pacific war discussions at Pols- dam. No Russian declaration of war is neces sary to emphasize what the allies intend to do with aggres sors. If the Japanese can take any heart from the blueprint for conquered Germany, they are welcome to it. For anyone who may be dis appointed over absence of word regarding Russia's entry into the war, a prior look which might have prevented the raising of immediate hopes would have revealed this situ ation: DeWilt Moci.nil There was no anti-Japanese propaganda cam paign in Russia, such as almost certainly would precede any break. If Russia should enter it would be more valuable just before our in vasion of Japan, which is still some time away. Russia's armies still are largely deployed in Europe. ' . . Japs Need "Break" JAPAN'S position is much the same as Ger many's was a year or so ago fighting, hoping, looking for a "break." Adding another log right now to the fire which they have built under themselves couldn't mean too much. It might even be argued, although we won't go into it now, that the Nipponese would actu ally prefer to surrender before, not after, Russia comes in to settle old scores. The Germans certainly showed a preference for placing themselves in the hands of the western allies. But aside from all this the Japanese, must have gotten from Potsdam some jolts more jarring than anything Russia might have done or is to do. After all, Russian entry into the war will affect principally the speed of its conclusion, not its result. The picture of Germany-to-come, and the Sino-British-American ultimatum, however, are matters directed against Japan's own heart. They're a people, accustomed though they are to feudal oppression yet proud of their industry, can see themselves being reduced, as they would put it, to the economic standard of their "inferior" neighbors which for them will be reduction indeed. They can see a Japan which is an empire only in the sense that some in effective little man may be permitted to call himself "emperor," his domain consisting of the Japanese home islands under strict foreign con trol an abasement which might make death preferable for him and many other Japanese. They can see the end of the industrialization which made them "superior" in the Orient. .... Relentless Peace ABOVE all, they can see the advance, of an enemy who is less "mad" than inexorable, a conqueror who does no raving, but who has grimly-set jaws about the business in hand. And they must know that the Sino-British-American ultimatum would not have been de livered from Potsdam during the conference with Stalin unless the situation had been thoroughly gone over with him; and that there remained between him and China no bone of contention which was not subject to amicable negotiation. So dies Japanese hope for a Russo-Chinese situation which could endanger allied unity, as well as her hope for anything except a relent less peace. SIDE GLANCES t COm. 1W IT WtA ttlfflCt. MC TV. ad.

LOCHNER BERLIN, Aug. 4 (JP) Berlin ers, through their six daily newspapers, now know what happened at Potsdam during the Big Three meeting. . Three newspapers used most of their space today to print the full text of the communique. The rest published extensive sum maries. No dally paper offered any Workers For West Coast Plants Asked Arthur B. Shelton, United States civil service commission recruiting representative, will be at the employment service of fice at 3rd and Main from Au gust 4 until August 11 to re cruit skilled tradesmen, helpers and laborers from this area for priority jobs at eight west coast naval establishments, including the Pearl Harbor navy yard. This recruiting program has been formulated by the war manpower commission, the navy department and the federal civil service commission. Workers must sign a six months' contract and will receive free transporta tion to one of the naval centers. TRAITOR EXECUTED PARIS, Aug. 4 (P) Paul Fer donett, the "traitor of Stuttgart" recently condemned to death by the high court of Justice on charges of making nazi propa ganda broadcasts to France over the Stuttgart radio, was execut ed today by a firing squad at Fore de Montrogue. commentary of its own, but the Taeglische Fundschau, official organ of the soviet .occupying forces, reprinted yesterday's Moscow Pravda editorial. Inquiring among many Ger mans, especially those versed in international affairs, I find the foremost reaction was one of re lief that Germany will not be dismembered. Every German was prepared to learn that Germany must pay heavily. Such losses as were spe cifically mentioned territory, shipping and aviation seemed to be accepted as inevitable. But there was obvious disappoint ment that the whole reparations question was left indefinite. The wards of territory to Pol and were regarded as the hard est thing to bear. Vandenberg Asks Industrial Peace WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 fP) Senator Vandenberg (R.Mich.) proposed a conference of top spokesmen for labor, manage ment and government to seek industrial peace. Vandenberg submitted his plan in a letter to Secretary of Labor Schwellenback, who en dorsed it In a prompt reply. The senator suggested that leaders of each branch of the nation's eennnmv rnnv th nv- ample set at San Francisco when ou nations iranKiy lacca their problems in a "triumph of the Council tattle." VanHpnhuro time a delegate to the San Francisco conference which drafted the re-cently-ratified United Nations charter. A GEM of THOUGHT- Quota Relaxed On Custom Slaughterers WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (P) Moving to ease the meat short age, the agriculture department was reported to have relaxed its quota system on so-called cus tom slaughterers. Rep. Lyndon B. Johnson (D Tex.) said that all quotas are being lifted at once from cus tom slaughterers who take their livestock to non-federally in spected packing plants which have been certified as sanitary by the secretary of agriculture. The quotas are determined by the number of animals killed by the same slaughterers in previ ous years. Meats from certified plants may move in interstate com merce or be sold to the army as in the case of federally-inspected plants. I TO GET E LOGGER TIRES WASHINGTON. Aug. 4 (P Senator Magnuson (D-Wash.) said he had been informed yes terday by a war production board spokesman that makers of logger tires have promised to run every available moid dur ing August and September to meet needs of the industry. He said liremakers oversub scribed" the board's minimum requirements and that 8581 tires should be available in the five northwest states in August, That, he said, is more than 1500 tires above the number asked for these states but still will leave a shortage of 5000 tires for a four-month period. Loggers will have to use high way tires to meet the deficiency, be said. Tire companies in the north west, in an effort to lock the doors against the misuse of available tires, will keep a care ful check on distribution and monthly meetings with manu facturers will continue.
