France Is drifting toward com munism for two reasons men of competcut and resolute lead ership in any other direction and (much more Important) LACK OK WILLINGNESS on the part of the French people to WORK THEIR WAY out of their present uimcuiucj. THIS writer has talked (at dlf feront times) within the past two or three weeks with three young Frenchmen, all lntolll cent, well-educated and ambl- tlous. ALL THREE say that as soon as they get out of the army they are going to leave France becauso they say they see no hope of a futuro for themselves at home. Two of them, because they are FRENCH at heart, are going to North Africa, because they think that In a French colony there may still be somo chance for advancement. The third Is coming to America. All agree that the French are no lnnunr wllllnff to WORK HARD to get out of a hole and France Is certainly In a nolo at tlio present time. . " THE' French-may not go the whole road of communism, for they are Individualists, and like to look at something and say: "This Is MINE." But as a whole (at this present moment) they have little hone for the fu ture, and communism Is the last xosort of the hopeless. Besides, a hard winter Is com' Ing on.l and a lot of Frenchmen are going to bo hungry and com. Hunger and cold, when coupled with honclcssncs. are great nro motors of radicalism and com munism is a sort of nucleus that nathcrs to itself the radical minded, the hungry, the cold and the hopaloss of all nations. . ... GERMANY, this writer would VJ say, Isn't communist at heart at all. Germans. If they have something to work for, are willing to WORK HARD. But right now most Germans have NO WORK, and even If they did have employment for their hands thoy have NO INCENTIVE for as yet they can sec no future for Germany. Even Germans won't work without an Incentive. And. as In France, a hard win ter Is coming on. with little food. Uttlo fuel and Inadequate shelter. Cold and hunger and exposure especially when coupled with hopelessness, are great promotors of communism. .

The reduction left the num ber off the Job in various Indus tries at 418,000. At the same time Secretary of Labor Schwellcnbach was hope ful of ending the critical strikes In tho soft coal fields which would enable some 182,000 workers to rcsumo digging in 740 closed mines. Wage Increase Grantad The strike of 42,000 CIO Tex tile Print and Dye workers in 284 shops in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania ended with a unlnn-mnnagcmcnt agree ment to a 10 cents an hour wage Increase for men and five cents for women. Tho wage question cannot be reopened until Nov. 1, 1046. Full production was expected to be reached by tonight or to morrow. The stoppage began In Patcrson, N. J., on Sept. 27 and spread to other areas. The un ion scaled downward Its wage Increase demand from 29 cents to 10 cents. In the soft coal dispute, which has cut Into steel production, the secretary of labor was ready to offer new compromise pro rjosal to bituminous ODerators and United Mine Worker offl- clals headed by President John L. Lewis; Schwellenbach said they , "should be nblo to agree." Not Far Apart "I don't think they are . very far apart," Schwellenbach said after the operator and union leaders ended a long con(erenco without reaching agreement on the main Issue, recognition of the United Mine Workers Fore men's union.

Since September S, tho army at Tulcloko has been acting sole ly as an agent of the department of Justice to maintain security of that portion of the center's population detained by the de partment of justice. ' R. R. Best, project director, stated that tho administration of the center will remain un changed and the relocation of people not detained by the de partment ot justice will bo unaf fected by the shift from army to department of justice control. , At tho end of the day the na tion still was puzzlod over the meaning of the swift change in political fortunes, Some be lieved it might be the beginning of a return to constitutional gov ernment, holding that the su preme court must take the reins. Others held that so long as the army retained an iron grip, nothing was changed essentially. Demonstrations were touched off in many places as news of the resignation of Peron spread swiftly, and thcro were somo clashes between celebrating crowds and police.

First Indication ot things to come may be found in what type of men will be named to the three posts vacated by Pcr on vice president, war minis ter and labor minister. Still an other indication may be in whether the radical decree Pcr on had prepared for October IS is carried out. Stock exchange sources said Peron, possibly in a last-minute bid for workers' support, would have ordered a flat 20 per cent increase in all salaries and would have decreed that 25 per cent of profits of all businesses be returned to em ployes,.,. .. , .... ., ;, October 10, 1945 Max.

They are billed fc local markets as Mewnham's birds have been for the last few years. Before the war many of them went to San Francisco markets. Hay 80 Acres The turkeys have 80 acres to sprint about, and they cover the ground with amazing speed. At night they come up to the feed ing pens and roost near by. Mrs. Newnham has operated the turkey ranch, alone for the past seven years. One man, Tom B. Kendall, is her helper. Her 17-year-old son Dale helps on the place now, too. Mrs. Newnham keeps 40 cows, 21 of them still on summer pasture and 18 are milked each day. The turkeys are milk-fed and have especially mixed feed. . Each year's flock of birds ?oes to market in the fall. In he spring Mrs. Newnham pur chases baby turks and starts all over again. Require Car When the birds are little they require extremely particular care, to avoid losses. They are kept indoors in heated buildings, and are fed special formulas in mixes from "starter," to "devel oper" and finally "finisher." They must not get wet and they must not be frightened. - If they pass this delicate stage suc cessfully, the following care is more or less just routine hard work. ' The excellent care received by the Newnham birds is reflected in healthy red wattles, bright eyes, and gleaming bronze and green feathers. Statutory Rape Charges Filed The aunt of a ' teen-age girl filed charges against Felipe Olanda and Pete Palto, both Mexicans, charging the two with statutory rape. Olanda, 24, and Palto, about 20. were brought before Justice of the Peace J. A. Mahoney late Tuesday, Dotn waived preumi' nary hearing and were commit ted to the county jail in lieu of $5000 bail set for each by the court. The alleged acts against the young girl arc said to have oc curred March 10 and August 25, 1945. Which Is It? As far as the city dads are concerned, they'd like this ar gument over Thanksgiving settled right now. In fact, they would like to observe Turkey Day on Thursday. November 29. In that way it would make a nice weokond, rounding out Sat urday, December 1, at the Oregon-OSC football game.

Detroit Drubs Chicago 9 to 3 In Final Game WRIGLEY FIELD, CHICAGO, Oct. 10 (P) The Datrolt tiger won th 194S world serits today by trampling th Chicago Cubs, 9 to 3, in th seventh and deciding gam. Skyrocketing to their first world championship lh 10 years . thair second oi all time th thumping Tigers smashed llr runs across in th first inning for th mrrist scoring spr of th scries, and then rod horn behind th brilliant twirling of thair ac left-hander, Hal Nwhousr. Although combad for 10 hits comparad to nin th Tigers got off half a down Cub curvtri, Hal fanned 10 to sat a new modsrn stries striksout record of it strikeouts in a fall classic. Pitching air-tight ball in th clutches, Nwhousr was rarely in trouote, giving up a run inx- the first on two hits, another in the fourth when Andy Pafko tripled the tally across, and the ilnal one In the eighth; when Bill Nicholson doubled the marker home. Timely Hitting Support Meantime, his mates gave him timely hitting support with men on base, particularly tall Paul Richards, his catcher, who clout ed two doubles for four of the Tigers' runs. One of these was a base-clearing three-run - smash headlining the first inning spree. In the eighth, the little finger of Richards' right hand was broken by a foul tip and he left the game. A crowd of 41,590 turned out In the chilly weather for this series "clincher" and wrote a new world series attendance record into the books, bringing the total for the seven games to 333,457, compared to the previ ous high of 328.051 who saw the Yankees and Cardinals fight it out in 1926. Borowy Clubbed Out Still stuttering from the cham pionship drought that has kept them from a world series win since 1908, the Cubs saw the game blow away before a man was out. Hank Borowy, hurling in the third successive game in this series and seeking his third win, was clubbed from the mound in exactly nine pitches as Skeeter Webb, Eddie Maydr and Doc Cramer singled in- or der, Webb coming home on the third blow. Paul Derringer came' on then, but his control was faulty and after he walked two men, forc ing a run across, Richards came through with- his two-base thump to the left field corner, ' Newhouser, who was, clubbed to the showers in three innings of the opener and wort- Sunday's game, romped to his second vic tory oi the set.

The Cubs came back with their first tally in ' the bottom half of the opening frame, but the Tigers got. this one right oacK in -the top or the second, when with two out.

All told, Cramer clicked for (Continued on Page Two) 3 Counties Bear Brunt Of Storm Klamath, Lake and Jackson counties appeared to bear the brunt of the lightning storm over southern Oregon Tuesday night. Klamath Forest Protective as sociation reported seven spot fires were started in or near its territory, although none appear ed serious. One fire was discovered near the Ashland-Klamath Falls high way just over the Jackson coun ty line. Two strikes were report ed on Parker mountain, three on the south side of Gearhart moun tain near Bly, and one two miles south of Leonard creek in LaKe county. On Migratory The bag limit for geese is four singly or in the aggregate of snow or whitefronted geese, and two of other species including brant in any one day. (Total daily limit,' six.) Any person may possess not more than eight sin gly or in the aggregate of snow or whitefronted geese, and not more than four of other species including brant. (Total posses sion limit,' 12). It is unlawful to have migra tory game birds in possession more than 90 days after the close of the season for such birds. It is also a violation of the law to hunt or take migratory game birds except from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset during the open season. Anv rjerson over the age of 16 is reaulred by law not to hunt for or take any migratory water fowl unless he Is carrying on his person an unexpired federal mi gratory bird hunting stamp cost ing $1 and validated by his sig nature. ... .
