If you do, this is an opportune time for you to drop a card to the Roseburg chamber of commerce, giving full details. Just as a way of a suggestion to the leaders In the scrap melal " campaign, it might he in line to . immune the removal of the iron railing from the top level of the -roof at the Roseburg city hull.

S m-csent form This is lust a siiL-L-esllon offered lo the salvage leaders, together ivith the statement that the city council, which would have auth ority lo authorize the removal, meets next Monday night. Perhaps the readers of the News-Review know of oilier met al serving no useful purpose Ih.i1, like this railing which weighs several hundred pounds, could hel ler lie used to keep the war ma chines rolling. If so, a card ad dressed to the Roseburg chamber of commerce will be welcomed, and the Information will be pass ed on to the county, city or aim nuinily chairmen best siluated lo take charge. And. in appealing for help in the salvage campaign, the local committee is anxious to secure some volunteer woi kers. Arrange ineiils have been made for a truck to be used for collection and trans portation in and around Rose burg. However, Hie services ol a driver anil vnluuh-rr helpers must be secured. Persons willing to help in Ibis work are asked lo no lily the chamber of commerce immediately. Several tons of mel al are ready for removal to I he scrap heap as soon as provisions can be made lor liansporlalion. hut volunteer workers must he local i'il iM'fore the work can be undertaken. II you have the time, get in ihe scrap now! Iouglas counly to dale has reg ularly met and even oversubscrib ed Its monthly war savings bond quotas. If in the future, however, t lie counly should fall somewhat short of the goal, pari of the blame, at least, can be placed up on the department heads who have arranged (o keep unto them selves the progress of the sales campaign. Heretofore Ihe county chairman has been furnished with frequent sales rexirts and lias had lull knowledge of the exact standings. On several occasions this informa tion has been most successtully used lo spur sales up lo the quota, as Douglas county people have In every department of the war ac tivity endeavored lo do (heir share and n little mote as well. For .instance, in September, with a quota of $110,000, the campaign was lagging slightly. Publication of this fact by the county chair man was given an Immediate re sponse, which put sales over the top by SJ.665.23. Now, however, flip county Aftmit 0Rt(!0(O(LrfsfSll PUBLISIlEp4S2i,IAII0N chairman is not given the fre quent rc)Krts as in the past, for an order has come down that this information is to be compiled at the San Francisco headquarters and is to bo released there. As a result, the Information is two weeks or more old by the time It gets to the county committee. It is true, as may be argued, that everyone should be buying bonds to the limit, regardless of all other factors, but it has been proven that even a race horse goes faster with a little goudlng on the home stretch. Hut the local committee now is forced to ride without spurs or whip. C. V. S. merchandise begins to become scarce, it will be general. When that time comes, we shall be looking inflation squarely in tin; eye instead of just reading about It In the papers. IJERE, hy the way, is a typical " inflationary incident: . It was mentioned here a day or so ago that long bladed knives and Colt and Smith & Wesson 4r's are in keen demand among the boys exacting to shove off. One boy got hold of such a gun. Whereupon the bidding started among his less fortunate fellows. At last accounts the highest firm offer was $X5.

THE "HOMER" o-n Concerning the NORTHWEST At Viewed at the National Capital By Paul Dunham WASHINGTON, I). C, Oct. 10. More than 270,000 checks total ing $19,500,000 In family allow unco payments to relatives and dependents of soldiers are now leaving Washington. They rep resent payments to some 405,000 dependents. Payments next month are expected to double the Octo ber amount. Twelve thousand men were I graduated from officers candi-swell- '"te schools In September ! Ini- Ihe total of II. S. armv of ficers to more than 00,000 men. Less than 1,300,000 able bodied men in this country are unemploy ed at the present lime, it has Just been reported, and of this total 700,000 are more than 05 years old. Employment in August in- ! creased 555,000 over the preced ing month, hence at this rate ot increase all able bodied men in Ihe nation will be employed in three months' lime. If these fig ures are correct, and they are based on reports by Secretary of Labor Perkins and Ihe census bureau, the time is not far off when many more women and children will he called to work lo fill the growing need. The ammunition industry is the largest employer of women of all major war industries. War Manpower Chairman McNutt re ports that more than five million additional women will be added to the list of women war workers heroic Hie end ot next year. Critical Areas Listed Critical labor areas have been designated by the war manpower 1. I .xirl 111, I !lt-tnv'tt Kltl'vi',"! flf siumlv: thirty six ol these areas have been listed. The purpose is to retrain trom giving further orders, where practical, lo those areas until Ihe labor situation is eased. On (he Pacific coast San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle have been listed, bill so far as call be yet determined the San Fran cisco bay area Is exempt. Salt Lake city and Ogden, of the in terior, have been placed on the critical labor list, but so far as can be learned Spokane, which is I hi- center of a large amount of work, has not been listed. In carrying out the program a general directive has originated with the army's services of sup ply and the war manpower board leaving a rather broad margin r action for the procurement agencies. The only specific action ol procurement agencies so far reported is that atlecling a pro oectlve order ot a furniture company in Los Angeles which had spent considerable time and money getting ready lo produce wooden hunks for the army for western use. Los Angeles is. natu rally, very much perturbed over I be program w hich has been in dicated, and other communities which might be caught in this restrictive trap are beginning lo bestir themselves ill an effort to prelect their old line enduring in dust ries. The effeel of stopping orders by the procurement agencies in ttiese tvstricted areas because of the large demands for war work therein is held by many us as suming the aspect ot disaster. Most of the war time production is eiectcd to cease w hen peace returns. If this kind ot work dis places or closes the old establish ed industries ol a community the lost- war effect will bo calami tous. In the feverish effort to pro duce war necessities all communi ties, other than in mass produc tion centers, were convinced that vU- orders oo!d be placed with smaller industries li oulv there were a proper purpose and spirit manifested on the part of ad ministrative control. For two and a half years this has been a con tinuing struggle, and so far with relatively little success. Huge Fine Hits British Violator of War Rule LONDON, Oct. 15 (AP) El lis Kahn, Russian-born former peddler, who maGe a fortune in jfurnlture, lost 100,000 ($100,000) of it yesterday as a fine for fail ure to offer for sale to the treas ury $135,593 In United States cur rency. Kahn collapsed in Bow street court when he heard the sentence. The prosecutor said that Kahn, realizing that mail from . the United Slates concerning accounts was being read by the censor, in formed authorities that he had undeclared deposits I here. Besides Ihe fine, he was asses sed $200 in costs und sentenced to one month's imprisonment. He was given no time to pay the fine. The alternative to payment is 10 months' Imprisonment. Kahn pleaded guilty to five summonses under the wartime law by which Britain requires her subjects to offer United Slates money for sale to the treasury in order to obtain exchange for pur chases In the United States. ..

Eliot's Measure Calls For Higher Taxes, Increase' In Number of Beneficiaries By PETER EDSON (NEA Service Washington Correspondent) Under the guise of promoting a war tax on wages, there's a concentrated drive now under way to broaden the U. S. social security laws far beyond the pro visions of existing legislation. This expansion is being promoted as a war measure, but before you make up your mind on these pro posals, it's worth taking a good look at the bill of goods offered to make sure what you would be gettln'g and what It would cost you. The provisions for broadening the social security base are now embodied in a bill introduced In the house of representatives by Rep. Thomas H. Eliot of Cam bridge, Mass. Young Mr. Eliot is serving his first term In congress, but before that he was an assistant solicitor in the department of labor and general counsel of the social se curity board. Eliot's bill is backed by both A. F. of L. and C. I. O. Further, the bill has the active backing of the social security board. Off the record, the white house is said to favor something of the kind. Opponents of the Eliot pro posals can be counted on to bring up the argument that right now, in the middle of a costly war, is no time to go in for fancy frills of social reform. Their program will be to freeze social legislation as is for the duration. j Tax Boosts Involved j But to got right down to lowest ' common denominator and see ! how all this program of broaden ! ed social security would hit you This Dresent law calls for this rate to be doubled automatically, Jan. 1, 1943. But now comes the Eliot bill I which proposes among other ' -Uinn that thficn nnvmpnts OH nonn' now covprcd be raiscd to c 1 j a per cent lor rjom you aim yum employer lor 1943-tyiLi, men go to 51 per cent for 19461948 and ! end up at 6 per cent thereafter. ! Beneficiaries Increased The Eliot bill would further broaden the social security struc j ture by taking in some 30 million i citizens not now covered. In- seir-employed w ance salesmen orkers like lnsur- and storekeepers, and irom 2 million to 4 million people on relief work projects. I Not only that, but the Eliot bill ! would also extend social security : benefits to the 4 million to 10 mil ! lion men in the army and navy --men (and women), j Benefits Expanded i What Representative Eliot pro i poses to give you would include: I Increased old age benefits from I $1.50 to $8.00 a month, depending ; on earnings; pay unemployment i insurance to workers disabled for i less than six months; set up a sys I tern of hospitalization benefits; extend benefits in the same amount as old age benefits to I workers disabled more than six months; federalize unemployment insurance and extend unemploy- ment payments up to 26 weeks, iwith shorter waiting periods; pro vide additional disability benefits I for workers' dependents; provide maternity benefits. Now the chances of any bill t such as this being passed are of ', course uncertain. But don't expect that this bill will be repealed when the war is over and the threat of inflation ; gone.

Aid Disabled Vets By Forget-Me-Not Buying, City Urged "Wear a forget-me-not," will be the plea of many volunteer work ers oil the streets of Roseburg and the business houses of this city on October 17, when the an nual forget-me-not flower sale of the Dean Perrine chapter of the Disabled American Veterans of the World war opens. It will he an urge for the civic minded citi zens who have not forgotten their wartime promises to wear the dainty little boutonnieres, the blue flower of remembrance. The campaign is being con ducted by the local chapter to raise funds to take care of the emergency relief problems among ine wartime uisanted and to aid the work of rehabilitation includ ing that of maintaining a full time rehabilitation officer to serve a a special advocate or at torney, in fact, for the disabled veterans. "The veterans organization is a congressionally chartered spokesman of. by, and for the disabled ex-soldier," said Erwin Short, commander of the Rose burg chapter. "Our purpose Is to render a distinctive service to the wartime disabled comrades through the local chapter and the national organization. We take care of the immediate needs of the incapacitated veteran and his dependents, and we try to put him on his feet once more or ren der him a service that may make of him a civic asset instead of a public liability by securing for him the relief he is entitled to through governmental compen sation. "We ask the general public to buy a flower on forget-me-not day and help a disabled veteran help himself." Here From Portland Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Owen, of Portland are spending a few days in this city attending to business and visiting friends. They tormerlv made their home here. War Trend Favors Allies, Assertion Of Rickenbacker i WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 (AP) Captain E. V. Rikenbacker re ported yesterday after a survey trip to the European theater air fighting front that "the trend is entirely in our favor." Captain Rickenbacker, air ace of the first world war, expressed belief that "the European theater will remain an air theater until we have secured superiority over the German air force and para lyzed the production capacity of the German aircraft industry." "There is no question that wo will win this war," he said. "The only question is how soon." (Rickenbacker recently inspect ed U. S. bomber and fighter sta tions in the British Isles and sev eral times saw Flying Fortresses in action, dispatches from London said. News of his recent visit had been banned until now.) Captain Rickenbacker's report to the war department was mad)' public by Secretary Stimson with' the explanation that Rickenback er was sent to England to survey army air personnel and equip ment under actual combat condi tions and in comparison with British and German planes and personnel. The captain concluded that American conceptions of army aircraft and their tactical em ployment are proving sound in combat and that "the British look upon the practical applica tion of our air war theories with increasing approval." Nazis Still Formidable Rickenbacker estimated that the total German air force "does not exceed 4,700 operational com bat planes of every type, a very small percentage of these being bombers." "It would be a mistake, ho; ever, to draw the conclusion thin'' German air power is on the de crease," he continued, and ex plained: "While we may hope that Brit ish and American bombers have crippled German aircraft pro duction and maintenance in Ger many and France, the case may well be that the Germans are working feverishly on new de sign planes to offset the aerial superiority which, at the present writing, is definitely on the allies side. "We are bound to suffer losses, maybe even great losses, before the conquest of Germany is com pleted." He praised American and Brit ish combat planes, both .bombers and, fighters. Conservation Groups to Be Formed in Oregon PORTLAND, Oct. 16 (API Organization of almost 50 stale conservation groups and govern ment agencies into the Oregon Natural Resources league was planned today. Mrs. Jessie Honeyman, presi dent of the Oregon Roadside council, was authorized at a din ner last night honoring Dr. John C. Merrian, president-emeritus of the Carnegie institute, to appoint a committee of nine to lay the groundwork. Member groups would be classi fied in soils and minerals, range, waters, fish and game, forests, scenery or recreation, whichever one corresponds to their field of major interest. x .
