Kittitas and Yakima men
agree to cooperate in re-
lease plan; may ask for
state law.

Kennewick's spud marketing plan
tried last year, seemed to work out
the best Of any such effort here
tofore tried. This year it may be
possible to have the plan, until
now a voluntary one, made into a
law. So says a letter from the state
department of agriculture.
To ascertain the opinions of
the growers I'm this district con-
corning this possibility, a meet
ing has been called for Monday
evening, at the Valley club house
at eight o'clock.
Should the growers in your dis
trict be interested" j. I. Griner, d.
rector Of the department writes the
local committee "they probably can
get a compulsory release law passed
at the coming session of the legis-
lature, or at least get better cooper
alton from the upper valley growers
than they got this past season.

Congressman Hill
Wins Important
Committee Seat
Now member of powerful
ways and means COM
mittee; leaves chair
manships on others

Representative Knute Hill, Fourth
District, Washington, today became
the Pacific Northwest's representa-
tive on the important and powerful
Ways and Means Committee of the
House. Elected at the Democratic
caucus last night, he became the
Vests third representative, and the
fifth from west of the Mississippi.
He polled more votes than amp 9TH
er candidate for the three Demo-
cratic vacancies. -
In accepting the new assignment,
Hill leaves vice chairmanships on
the Irrigation and Reclamation,
Public Lands, and Indian Affairs
Committees. ~--.'r 20"
Most House members regard the
Ways and Means Committee as the
most coveted of all House commit
tee assignments, as this committee
initiates all tax and monetary legis-
lation and selects other committee
assignments. With the scheduling
of defense tax legislation this year
the committee achieves new i'm
portance.
Congressman Hill was first elected
to the House in 1888 and is serving
his fifth term. He is the first MEM
Der of the House from the North
west to be elected to the Ways and
Means Committee since the resig-
nation of Honorable Sam B. Hill.
former representative from the Fifth
District, who is now a member of
the Board of Tax Appeals. j..
Although am sorry to leave my
interesting memberships on three
very fine committees, realize that
as member of the Ways and Means
Committee can render even more
service to my district and to the ma
tion," Hill said. IT.. ..-.-- -.-
"The need for new revenue for
the defense. program gives us a grave
responsibility in this congress. I
hope that we will be equal to what
ever steps need to be taken"

DOGS-DOGGONE!

Is your dog worth a dollar?
Wouldja give a dollar to keep
him?
The perennial dog question
again confronts the new city adj
ministration. Too many dogs
what to do? Let 'em go and per-
haps encourage the poisoner, or
pay for a dog tag and destroy the
homeless ones? @- s-,... ID
How about it? What should the
city do about it? Will you express
your opinion, in a letter to the
paper, to the mayor or a council
man. What shall it be-kill 'em
all-buy a tag for yours and kill
the others-or let 'em all live to
overrun the district.

America Will Win
(Bremerton Searchlight)


 There is old adage which says "A bad start means good end' This may bring some satisfac- ton to those who view with some apprehension the successful start of Japans hostilities Nippon has made good start true enough, but it is certainly not going to last, just because the willy Japs took this nation by surprise, with the aid of Hitler and the airmen he loaned for the manning of Japans planes. If think back to our old revolutionary days and remember the set-backs experienced by our untrained tattered frozen and half starved forefathers we recall with satisfaction the vic- tories which they won by the dint of the sheer courage and determination that is inherent an American characteristic Aligned against the trained redcoats the old pioneers fought and won. Today, our Americans not tattered or untrained In- stead, they form probably the finest fighting force in the world. They are just getting lmbered up and will warm into some of the hottest fighting that gowed in any history. Japan is doomed to defeat and humiliation and she will eventually share that licking with her sinister friend, Hitler.

 Admiral Anderson, a native of Carlinville, H., graduated from Annapolis in 1903 and has been in the Navy ever since. He was Na- val attache in London in 1934-36, and was a member of the U. S.. delegation to the London Naval Conference. In 1932-33 he com manded the battleship West Vir- ginia at which time his ship was given battleship efficiency pen nant.
 Since January l941, he has been in the Pacific in various important capacities, chiefly as Commander of the Battle Force.

which Admiral Hart and General Macarthur have pulled together.
 The Army and Navy do not al- ways make a perfect team, and there is some question regarding teamwork at Pearl Harbor. How ever, Admiral Tommy" Hart has long record for working things out with the Army, dating back to the days when he was Superinten- dent of the Naval Academy during the Hoover Administration. At that time West Point and Annapolis had engaged in long and bitter squabble over eligibility rules so that the Army-Navy football games were suspended. It was Hart who handled the Navys negotiations in 1881 by which those games were resumed.
 Also he was a friend and ship m te of General MacArthur' brother, the late Arthur MacAr- thur, on the battleship Massachu- setts during the Spanish-American War. So the two men have dove tailed their work. The fleet is out on the prowl for Jap ships instead of taking punishment in Cavite Harbor; and MacArthur's land and air troops are concentrating on the defense of the Philippines.
 Hart was graduated from Anna polls 18th in the unique class of 1897 It contained such men as Ad- miral Leahy; Admiral Hepburn, for mer commander of the U. s. Fleet; Admiral Yarnell, former comman- der of the ASiatic Fleet. For the past five years the class of '97 has monopolized the command of the Asiatic Fleet. Admiral Hart's wife is the daughter of Admiral Willard Bronson, another ex-commander of the Asiatic squadron.
 Hart is a hard-boiled advocate of discipline, doesn't believe in kicking the Filipino brown brother around, and has the tough job of preventing the southern advance of the Japanese fleet to Singapore with U. s. fleet considerably smaller than the enemy's.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24
 Benefic aspects rule late today. In the earlier hours there is an influence which tends to encourage stock taking and debt-paying.
 HEART AND HOME: For Christi mas eve the stars promise good feeling which accents the blessings of peace. This last celebration of the Christian holiday season un- der old social and economic Con ditions will be memorable and should be made as beautiful and as inspiring as possible. Aged per- sons come under unusually favor able planetary influences which encourage younger persons to listen to wise counsel Family reunions should be arranged, for the van- ishing joys of 1941 will stand out in history.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Employ CTS and employees will unite in kindly recognition of relationships that have been fortunate and with prescience of future economic prob lems will pledge mutual friendships. Labor unions will forget many past difficulties, and, with appreciation of their responsibility to the na- tion, will plan patriotic cooperation. In trade and commerce this is a day of little activity. There is a sign of great promise for what ever pertains to airplanes.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Differences of opinion regarding what consti- tutes dangerous radicalism and what is merely liberal viewpoint will continue to be acrimoniously discussed. The stars presage eX- tending espionage in Washington, where novel methods of obtaining secret data will be successful. Sem sational exposures will be periodi- cal, but the most clever devices for gaining and transmitting informa- tion will remain undiscovered.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR Singapore will continue to be cov- eted by the Axis powers, but the stars indicate that it will not change its present allegiance for many years. Australia is to be much in the headlines in the new year, for it is forecast that it's splendid fighters will gain great glory as they demonstrate their heroism at home and in Britain's many battlefields. The strength of the British Empire is to be dem- onstrated as never before, astrolo- gers prophecy.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of changes and surprises. Unexpected pleasures will be numerous. The nerves should be watched.
 Children born on this day will be talented and successful. They will be clever and we'll balanced.

 Denmark has been, on the surface one of Hit lers most successful conquests.
 The Danes were overwhelmed so quickly and so completely there was chance of resistance Since the conquest, more than year and half ago, there have been few reports of rebellion against the Nazi conquerors.
 But when Denmark's adherence to the anti Comintern pact was announced recently, there were protest riots in Copenhagen according to Stockholm newspapers. Police were forced to fire into croWos to break up demonstrations.
 Denmark is renewed proof that not one country in Europe remains part of Hitlers New Oroer except as a prisoner of military force

UNCENSORED

Finding out just what the Army and Navy consider military secrets is tough on the average newsman these days. For instance, the Army permitted its Frankford Arsenal to publish an aEicle in the American Machinist on How to Machine 75 mm Shells" It was written by the Chief Engineer of the Artillery Ammunition Division with full dia- grams, and should give any enemy agent pretty good idea on the type of U. s. artillery ammunition all for the price of the magazine -35 cents Cuban President Batista was bitterly disappointed that Costa Rica beat Cuba in de- claring war against Japan
 Rivalry between the Army and Navy is traditional and healthy thing to spur competition. But probably never before has there been so much undercover jockey ing as to who was to blame for Pearl Harbor Vice-President Wallace's penchant for post-season tennis is causing embarrassment to his hotel. The hotels courts are closed, but on Wallace's promise to keep them in condition, he is allowed to have his daily morning game with his sister, the wife of the Swiss Minister Other guests, not aware Of this arrangement, think there is discrimination and squawk to the management.

partment and the White House to call him to duty with the forces.
 Later he was talking with 84- year-old Carter Glass about it, and Glass muttered, He won't let you, just like that fellow Wilson wouldn't let me-"
 Glass worshipS the memory of Wilson, but his ire still rises when he remembers how Wilson refused to let him go to war in 1917.
 NOTE: Truth is, the Army doesn't want any congressional of ficers, wouldn't welcome the odd situations arising from a Colonel trying to give orders to Captain who was at the same time a Sena- tor.

And you might throw in a blonde stenographer
 Municipaly yours,
 Mayor H. I. Lucas MT. Santa Claus Esq. North Pole. Dear Sir It hardly fair in these days to expect to maintain navy headquarters in Juneau with no fleet stationed here. As a start, sir, believe we could get along with battleship, two light cruisers and few mosquito boats. You might also arrange to have the officers quartered ashore while the ships are in port May I suggest the Hotel Baranof for this purpose

Rieve, independent head of the Textile Workers. Of the five Lew isites, two are leftWingers who were violently opposed to the defense and foreign policy programs until Hitler invaded Russia. One of them, Julius Emspak, is not even head of his union. He is merely secre- tary-treasurer of the Electrical and Radio Workers.
 Carefully omitted by Murray from the delegation was John Green. able president of the Shipbuilding Workers. Green represents a key defense industry, but he is inde- pendent, is not tied to Lewis s apron strings. Also omitted was Clint Golden, acting head of the Steel Workers, another vital de- fense industry. Golden also is no LewiSite.
 There are other able CIO chiefs that Murray could-and should have nsmed to the delegation. But if he had, the delegation would have been independent and not un- der the thumb of John L. Lewis, the man who in November 194O announced to the world he would retire from leadership of the CIO if Roosevelt was reelected.
 Two days before the conference opened, Murray, nominally chair man of the CIO group, held a lengthy private pow-wow with Lewis on plans and tactics. Appar- ently John L. is still the real leader.
 NOTE: Murray's naming of a Lewisite delegation had a lot to do with the Presidents choice of Me- diation Board Chairman William Davis as moderator of the confer ence. Plain talking and tough, Davis has taken no gulf from Lew is and is bitterly disliked by him.
