IH HUM l - By FRANK JENKINS BORTLAND. This writer has just put In a day at the throe gioat Kaisor shipyards in this area two of them on the Oregon side and one over in Washington, at Vancouver. It has been a fascinatingly in teresting day. But that is a minor and unimportant part of it. It has been a REVEALING day. A day of seeing REAL AMERI CANS in action, worklne hard (ft and intelligently, doing tilings nml r.PTTIMn KflMFlVMFRR.' IN these mighty, smooth-running shipyards the clang and the clatter of men AND WOMEN at work drown out the yipping of the politicians and the yowling of the special privilege boys and one is enabled to get a glimpse of the kind of Americans who COUNT those who are working and ac eomplishing things. BUT enough of philosophizing. " Let's get down to business. Here in these great Kaiser yards, they're building ships and building them fast. You've just read of the vessel that was launched TEN DAYS after Ihe laying of the keel and turned i over all ready to go to work only I I days after the keel was laid. That's a new all-time world record that will probably stand for quite a while, but they're building ships here faster than siiips were ever built before since the world began and they're steadily reducing the AVERAGE construction time. BEFORE this man Kaiser came along ships were tailor-made affairs whose building took a lot of time. Kaiser put them into mass production. How? Thai's a long and tedious story. It is sufficient here to say that I Kaiser and his smart right-hand men learned how to build ships by first making thousands of pieces so accurately designed that they go together like the pieces of a jig-saw puzzle in a MINI MUM of time. Then they build the pieces into sections. After that they put the sections together into ships, us ing all the short cuts made pos sible by modern mass-production technique. That's all there is to it. It WORKS, THEY launched a ship today.

Ernie Bonham and Johnny Beazley, op posed each other on the mound today as the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals tangled in Ihe second game of the 1942 world series before a crowd of approximately 30,000. Bonham, the season's leading hurler in Ihe American league with 21 victories and five defeats, was being banked on by the Yanks to get them out of town to night with a sweep of the two games here and perhaps make it possible for them to clinch an other world championship with out returning to St. I.ouis. Beazley. a sensational rookie, also won 21 games during the sea son, losing six. He had a heavy burden for a freshman because the Cardinals' chances of eventu ally winning the series rested ovenvhelmjingly on the outcome of tips contest. Neither manager made any changes in the batting order.

The task of collecting the scrap metal set out by residents will be continued until all has been picked ud, Robert Heliiwell, chief of the air raid wardens, announc ed today. If by the first of the week collection in any locality has not been made, the cham ber of commerce should be noti fied, so that any donations which have been unintentionally over looked may be gathered up. It was anticipated that the pile would be brought to more than 100,000 pounds today as volun teer workers continued the task of collection. These figures, Hejliwell slated, do not include more than 20,000 pounds of iron and steel which will require several days for re moval. Huge Articles Included, Steam boilers, mill machinery. huge castings, metai furnaces and other very large items have been donated by the Douglas Prune Growers, Roseburg Lum ber company, Douglas National bank, California Oregon Power company and Chapman's drug store, Heliiwell reported. These pieces are so large that they must be broken up before they can be removed, and special Delay Asked In Chemical Suits WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (AP) Attorney General Francis Bid- die announced today that he had asked the United States district court at South Bend, Ind., to post pone until after the war the trial of anti trust charges against 21 leading chemical companies and 65 of their officials. Judge 1 nomas W. Slock took the re quest under advisement with a promise of a decision Monday. A statement to the press by Bid die explained that the postpone ment was requested by the army and the navy which filed letters with Biddie saying that "the trial oi these cases at this time would seriously impair the war effort." The companies and their of ficials have been charged with illegal fixing of prices, restric tions on production, and control of distribution of various import ant chemicals such as formic acid, sulphuric acid, oxalic acid, chromic acid, muratie acid, and bichromates of soda and potash. At the time charges were filed against the companies on June 26, the justice department took the position that the importance of these chemicals to the war effort made it necessary to proceed with the prosecution in order to help war industries get needed chemi cals at their prices.

Brakeman Fred Dent Loses Finger in Mishap Fred Dent, Southern Pacific company brakeman, suffered the loss of the index finger on his left hand yesterday as the result of an accident at the Linn-Lane Logging company docks at Win chester. Dent was engaged in switching cars at the logging sta tion, when his hand was caught in shifting logs. The finger was so badly mangled that amputa tion at the second joint was required. (equipment will be required to handle them Workmen will start the task of cutting and dismantl ing the large pieces early next week and will move them as quickly as possible to the scrap pile. The Roseburg chamber of commerce office and the local radio station were besieged all day Wednesday with persons call ing to report large scrap dona tions in areas where collections were not regularly scheduled. Ar rangements will be made to call for such scrap as soon as trucks and workmen are available. It was pointed out that persons having smaii amounts of scrap metal which they failed to place out at Ihe curb line for collection may personally deliver their do nation to the scrap depot. In the event the donation amounts to several hundred pounds, however, arrangements for collection will be made it the chamber ot com merce office is notified. Sorting, Inventory Needed. It is anticipated that the scrap metal pile will not be removed for considerable time. After all collections are in it will next be necessary to sort the entire pile, dividing the various metals into separate piles and making an In ventory. From scrap piles of similar character all over the na tion, the mills of the country will draw supplies needed to maintain capacity operation during the winter months, it is estimated that 17,000,000 pounds will be re quired before January 1, 1943.

(AP) Chairman' Fulmer CD,, S, C.) of the house agriculture commit tee said today farm leaders In the house would accept the sen ate version of farm price control, thereby apparently clearing the way for completion tomorrow of congressional action on antl-Infla-tlon legislation. "We will da this In the Inter est of speedy action,- Fulmer said. "We want to stop Inflation, and at the same time help the farmer produce the necessary food for wartirrles." He added: "In making this statement, we assume that the bill wtll be prop erly administered. The senate bill is practically In line with the house, but not nearly as strong." At the same time he said house farm leaders would Insist that the final draft of the legislation include a provision, now in the house bill, for continuation of a floor under farm prices for three years after ihe war. Speaker Rayburn said today house action on the senate ver sion of anti-Inflation legislation would be delayed until tomorrow, to give members time to consider Us provisions, and then the legis lation probably would be sent to a joint house-senate committee to compose differences. The senate bill embraces less rigid stipulations that the house bill on the inclusion of farm tabor costs in the establishment of ng ricuKuml price ceilings.

The order, effective October 4, restricts railroads, to the passen ger train schedules existing on September 26, forbids the run ning of any special passenger trams or the attention of new trains to existing scluHiulrs.
