S. district attorney for Oregon. There was divided feeling among them beforehand as to what democrat should get the plum, and since the nomination there has been no rush to "make it unanimous." Mr. Hess, who led the party to defeat in 1938, has left-wing support, but even mention of his name puts red in the eyes of the conservative "Jefferson" democrats. Apparently, the democratic powers couldn't find or couldn't agree on some one who would be more acceptable to both branches of the donkey party. The democrats wrote their own ticket to dis aster in the primary of 1938. At that time, democratic Governor Charles H. Martin was up for re-nomination. Oregon had had years of labor strife, and the governor had taken a firm hand in a nasty situation. The left-wingers dug up Mr. Hess to run against General Martin, and he defeated Martin by a small margin. e e GOP Went To Town THE republicans benefitted tremendously by this bitter democratic struggle. They elect ed a governor that year, and the republican trend in Oregon continued to grow to the place where the governor, the secretary of state, the state treasurer, the entire congressional dele gation, and a majority of both houses of the legislatures are republicans. All indications are that the nomination of Mr. Hess now for U. S. district attorney has served to rekindle the fires of strife among our democratic friends. He is strong with the CIO, but there are grave doubts as to whether he has much love from the AFL and certainly the general run of conservative democrats dis like htm with great vigor. From the standpoint of strict party welfare, republicans should be all for the Hess nomin ation. e. GOP Sticks Together THERE is a curious contrast in the affairs of the republican party in the state, when compared with the 1938 democratic disaster. In 1942 the republicans, as the democrats had done in 1938, defeated for nomination the man who had represented their party in the governor's chair for four years. They chose Earl Snell instead of Charles Sprague to run for governor that fall. But it was done with no such intra-party strife as that which dealt the democrats a ter rific blow. Sprague went out; his supporters got behind Snell, and Snell won by the biggest majority ever given an Oregon gubernatorial aspirant. It all sums up to the conclusion that there are three parties in Oregon one republican party, and two democratic parties. News Behind The News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 This is it the postwar showdown of the new power of unions. Behind the initial strides bestirring in Detroit and spreading through the country is a general uprising for a 20 to 30 per cent wage increase. All the big unions of the country are in on it, the lumbermen of the northwest, steel, rubber, the AFL's International Machinists, larg est of the AFL unions, and even the moderate well-run Railroad Brotherhoods. The CIO auto workers and radicals are simply front-running for a cleverly planned and well financed cam paign of all unionization to up the take. AFL's mild' William Green, for instance, told the Dublnsky garment workers he thought all labor should have just about this proposed wage advance. Strange as it may sound in an inflation- scared administration, high officiul backing lias heightened the national dilemma but not back ing by Mr. Truman. My inside information shows conclusively the president, while favor able in general to a high-wage, high-price policy, knew little of the developing ins and outs of this situation. e e Wage Increase Seen HE certainly did nothing inside, or out, to encourage it. His director of economic stabilization, William H. Davis, however, held an unfortunate off-the-rccord press conference about two weeks back, which was practically an invitation to the unions to demand even a greater increase. While he did not permit direct quotation, the press unanimously reported he thought wages could be increased 50 per cent "without increasing the price of manu factured goods." Nearly everyone spoofed this incredible assertion as petty political poppy cock, except the union lenders, who seized it as a handy handle. That much is known. If Mr. Trumnn wants all the facts about sub-rosa troublemaking, he should call each member of the war labor board on the carpet and ask it he has talked lately to union leaders, advising them that now is the time to go after wage increases. e e Board Helpless THE board nus become a helpless but not hopeless nonentity. Its powers are doubtful. New Labor Secretary Schwcllenbach has been sending no cases to it, and his disregard of it has become almost an established official position. The board in turn decided to con sider nothing, except upon request of both employers and employes, which limited its power in a situation such as is arising, to practically zero. Before these developments, the unions, par ticularly the radicals, had been campaigning exclusively on the unemployment line. All their propaganda focused upon getting legisla tion from congress. It is true, the campaign was not proceeding satisfactorily and failed to generate much public enthusiasm, although Mr. Truman was behind it. The sudden Switch back to the line of wage increases, strikes and shorter hours (the miners John L. Lewis is especially hitting this latter theme for his wage increases) caught the adminstration with its shoes off. Schwellenbach, for days after the start, was unable to move. e e Truman Publicity HIS initial publicity on "assuming his post had been better than excellent. Indeed, Mr. Truman, himself, got off to a good start with the unions. Neither is he popular or un popular among the general run of union lead ership, but both are favorably regarded. Schwellenbach had planned a general industrial-labor national conference to meet the strike-wage-price condition everyone knew would arise eventually from the peace. It was to have been held two weeks ago under prod ding from Republican Senator Vandenberg. The latest talk heard around the labor department is that hopes are held for such a convention in November, by which time the fires now vis ible may be in full blaze. e e e Free Rides THE only excuse I can find for the delay is that the labor leaders wanted to get some free rides to Europe this month. They passed word around they were going over to "line up the communists." Tart observers suspected a "with" had been omitted before the word "com munists," and all agreed there was a grave question of who would line up whom, and whether the line would be prone or erect. At any rate, Hillman, Meany, et al are all over there, and the labor-management conference is an unfulfilled hope they caused to be delayed. Yet the developing strike situation plainly shows this is not a condition to be settled by one plant, or even one industry. The unions are tactically presenting their campaign piece meal, plant by plant, and no doubt are planning settlements on that basis, but the points raised are national in inflationary import, as well as all other phases (employment, prices, produc tion, etc.) Obvious Line THE labor-management conference had high on its unofficial agenda the question whether there should be another federal labor board (CIO wants it.) Its basic hope was to find a common mechanism for dealing without strikes which flaunt the public Interest and do great injury to the nation. Whether Messrs. Truman and Schwellenbach will move along this obvious line, or choose another course such as calling the union leaders into conference with them, I have not yet heard. It is their whirlwind, their first, and certainly the biggest labor has generated since the sitdown strike.

Many have already forgotten this in vention, it doubtless nas saved millions of lives. The inventor was called a "long-haired nature study crank." He studied the color patterns of caterpillars and skunks, of fish and moths, of birds' eggs and of birds. Hav ing a mathematical brain he worked out formulas as to their protective coloration. Discour aged in his native land, he took his data to France. They saw the life-saving possibilities. That is why the name is French. Young folks can gain much by observing color patterns of birds. High-mountain September has a multi-colored bird that well il lustrates the principle of color camouflage. The evening gros beak is a splendid example of protective coloring in birds. It is strikingly colored, white, yel low, black and olive. It would seem to be one of the most con spicuous of high Sierran birds. Yet Mrs. Bailey declares that its bright yellow, for exemple, is almost Identical with the lemon colored lichens found through out our high Sierras. Any bird lover seeing the evening gros beak for the first time is sure to be thrilled. Add it to your list of bird acquaintances. Sincerelv. CM. .GOETHE.

The War Today By D.WITT MACKENZIE AiaocUtad Pratt War Anslynt Quietly but Inovltubly Mos cow is staking claims to trustee ship over Important Ituliun col onics which would extend Rus sia's already vast Influunco tho length ot tho Mediterranean 1 o n g domi nated by Eng land. This column u few days ago described t li o Mediterranean theater us "ono of the most Important zones strateg ically on tha face of tha MncKENZIE globe." I repeat It with empha sis, for soviet Forolgn Minister Molotov who is In London for the conference of the Big Flvo council of foroign ministers hus now not only made it clear that Russia Is anxious to obtain a foothold on that great sea but he has given us a lead as to the specific alms of the soviet union. Soviet InttMtti Mr. Molotov told tho press yesterday that Russia is Interest ed in Italian colonies, uud thut there's "a grain of truth In tho report that she wants sole trus teeship over the North African colony of Trlpolltnnia. Then, in more positive strain, he added; "I will not conceal soviet in terests in Eritrea" (the ituliun colony lying on tho Red sea and adjoining Ethiopia), Beyond that ho didn't go. There hnve been rumors thut Moscow seeks trusteeship over tho Dodecanese Islands, which Greece wants returned to her. These lie at tho mouth of the Aegean sea and so are sentinels over the western cntranco to the Dardanelles strait that lends to the Black sea. Moscow has re mained silent on this point, but has been pressing for readjust ment of Turkish control ot the Dardanelles so as to guarantee Russia free passage of this solo gateway between the Black sea and the Mediterranean. Cltir Picture If you will look at your mnps of the Mediterranean theater, the picture of what Is happening will bo clear. Tripolitanla is midway of the Mediterranean and is an important base. Erit rea, which lies at the southern mouth of the Red sea, would be calculated to insure right of way through that body of water and tho Suez canal which connects it with tho Mediterranean on the north. Add to this the fact that Tangier, on the southern shore of the narrow strait of Now She's Walking On Air Every day, people who raally suffer from tired, burning feet are leerolnr the quick, thrilling comfort that lira In a )ar of Ice Mint.
