In a report recently , published in the Spokesman Itevievv at Spokane, Wash., Bloch lists clay deposits adjacent to Roseburg and Molalla in Oregon and deposits in a large area of northeastern Washington, sur rounding Spokane, as possible sites for development. ' " His report points out that alu minum now is being obtained from high grade bauxite ore, shipped in from distant points, be cause satisfactory processes for recovery of ore from alumina bearing clays have not been work ed out. The clay deposits, he states, carry a high silica content, which handicaps the recovery of alumina under the present meth ods. Studies of other processes arc being made however, and It ap pears that a successful means of profitably utilizing the clay de posits as a source of aluminum will soon be developed, Bloch re ports. lie contends that when such processes are found, the Industry should establish plants close to the source of supply, building sev eral plants rather than one large one, In order that the industry could not be crippled by the de struction by enemy or other forces of a central treatment plant. "It Is no longer pure fantasy to vision tlie election of several plants for the production of alu mlna from clays of this region," liloch declares in his report. He points out that alumina de livered to the Pacific northwest from bauxite producing areas bears a transportation cost of from $8 to 512 per ton of alumina, which In terms of metal Is equi valent to $16 to $24 for each ton of northwest aluminum. This tie mendous transportation cost, liloch contends, places a great un economic burden upon the north west industry and threatens long term permanency. Establishment of local plants utilizing clay dciosits in the Im mediate vicinity would, on the other hand, Immediately rid the Pacific northwest plants of this economic disadvantage and thus go far to guarantee continuous operation and "make this legion the light metals empire of the nation." That action cannot be expected to materialize overnight is shown by Ills statement that "in order to determine which of these clays and which specific areas offer the greatest commercial Kssibiii tics, it has been and will be necessary to undertake programs of exploration, drilling, labora tory and pilot plant work." The deposits of the Koschurg area, however, are listed among those which "offer distinct possi bilities for alumina production" The past work, it is explained, was for the purpose of determin ing (heir suitability for ceramics, but enough has been learned through such study to indicate Hi: "general location of the most promising areas." It is not news to many people that the Uinpqua valley has large deposits of alumina bearing clays. It is most Interesting, however, to learn that processes for profitably producing aluminum from these deposits are In prospect, and that nosobutd may, In the future, be able to share in the development of the aluminum industry of the Pacific northwest. Editbriaf on New (Coatinuad from pV 1) in French West Africa, he asserts that French fleet units in various north African ports will JOIN the British and U. S. fleets on the high seas to FIGHT THE AXIS. These remaining units aren't altogether negligible. They in clude two battleships, seven cruis ers, three destroyers, about a dozen submarines and a subma rine tender nearly all of them in potential fighting condition. In addition, varous disabled or beach ed cruisers, destroyers and sub marines can probably be repaired and put back into commission In time to be useful. A squadron of that size, coming into action at the psychological moment, MIGHT turn the for tunes of sea war. DARLAN adds: "French Africa, with the allies, must make a maximum military effort for the defeat of Germany and Italy." Then, referring obviously to De Gaulle, he says: "I hope that all Frenchmen who are able to fight the axis will do it in close union." Whatever his motives may be, Darlan Is giving us a lot of help. Already, he has saved the lives of many American boys. AS the situation now stands, we appear to be backing Darlan and the British are backing De Gaulle. Whatever happens, let's not get Into a ruckus over who is going to save the remnants of France. RECENT news from Russia (what little there is of it) is more favorable. The red army re ports that it has SMASHED the stubborn German counter offen sive southwest of Stalingrad and has captured five more strong holds on the central front west of Rzhcv. Keep your eye on this central Russian front. It has great pos sibilities. THE Morocco radio (run by our side) says: "It can be said that the course of the battle In Tunisia Is already changing under the heavy weight of allied superiority in the air." Note that the word used Is "su periority," rather than "suprema cy." When we get SUPREMACY in the African skies, victory In Africa should follow shortly. ONLY air fighting is reported from (he south Pacific. Our planes are still pounding the Japs' new airfield at Munda, having just delivered their sev enth punishing attack there. The Jap base at Buln has also been raided. The navy says significantly that NO ENEMY RESISTANCE either aircraft or antiaircraft guns was encountered. THERE'S an intimation in the news that the Japs at Kiska may he facing starvation, as well as exhaust inn o( their ammuni tion, as a result of inability to get relief ships to them. Keep your fingers crossed until it happens. AS to the north Pacific, here's a thought: If the Japs decide to attack Siberia, they'll move (irsl to keep us from getting help to the Itus slans. Kiska was a step in that direction. Tin- Kamchatka prion siila I consult your map) w ill al most certainly lie the next step. It's Just possible tli.it If we go liter Kiska ill FORCE, the Japs mav move against Kamchatka in I force and IMMEDIATELY. So It may be that our high command is willing to let sleeping dogs lie in lh.it quarter. I For the present, that is: until we get better set in Alaska. I It's a pure guess, and a wild one, at that. Hut It docs help to explain our lack oi decisive effort in the western Aleutians.

Babylonian 54 - : XJ Concerning fha NORtHWEST Ai viw4t t th National Capital By John W. Kelly WASHINGTON, b. C, Dec. 21 To' the president went,' dated November 30, a report from re construction finance corporation, via Jesse Jones, stating t'Wt RFC has authorized loans and other commitments in connection with the war amounting- to $18,289, 576,761. The president notified his congressional leaders that he wanted RFC authorized to sell an other five billion dollars of se curities to fake care of war activ ities. Congress balked. ' Of these, billions of dollars there was no consulting of con gress. Unless a congressman learned accidentally of some op eration the legislative branch was in total ignorance. Senators Dan aher and McNary decided some thing should be done about It to let the white light of publicity stream In on RFC operations. They discovered that one way of circumventing congress had been to have the president issue a directive order to Jesse Jones for him to furnish bureau of econo mic, warfare, for example, so many hundreds of millions of dol lars. And Jones had to produce, without consulting other mem bers of RFC board. Danaher and McNary proposed that executive orders be ignored and when a re quest came for a loan It should be acted upon by the RFC board and based on satisfactory se curity." Immediately certain columnists friendly to the administration charged Jones with having in spired the resistance of the sena tors because Jones wished to have final decision on all loans. Then in an executive committee hearing, with doors closed and no reporters allowed, Vice President Wallace of bureau of economic warfare panned, roasted and flay ed Jones; asserted the war .effort so very confidential that It can not be told to Jones or con gressall Jones has to do Is turn over the money and the Wallace organization will do the rest. So the committee reported out the bill favorably, but it struck a snag on the floor when the committee declined to reveal the testimony at the hearings and was held up on the contention that this was legislation by committee and not by the senate. No Darkness Wanted Congress has a notion that these war agencies should come to it and request such appropria tions as ihey need, the same as the army, navy, interior depart ment, etc. There Is another con gressional group which sus pects that Herbert H. Lehman, In his capacity of director of relief and rehabilitation for all the world, would be financed through executive order on RFC and congress would be kept in the dark as to what Lehman was doing or how much money he was spending. No one has yet an nounced where Lehman will ob tain money for his global relief and reconstruction; that the pro ject will require several billion dollars in acknowledged. (Vice President Wallace now explains lhat when he said the United States would provide a quart of milk to everyone In the world. In a speech last May, he was using a figure of speech and that this offhand observation has been mis interpreted. At the time it was supposed that Wallace was an ad ministration spokesman.) Where Money Is Going. Despite the secrecy of RFC funds, it is possible to show where some of the money is go ing. For instance, the United States has paid $1,488,600 to train several hundred young men from Latin-America as fliers and tech nicians. Of these 40 per cent have completed training and returned home or are awaiting transporta tion. None of this expense will be recovered. To eliminate axis-controlled air lines in South America 58.000,000 was earmarked. These lines were In Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil and the Italian line from Brazil to Italy. To Russia $100,000,000 has been given for which metals arc to be received. This is in addition to all the planes, tanks, guns, ammuni tion and shiploads of food which are being sent, gratis, to the Soviets. Canada has been givn S 10,000,000 to develop co-iper, lead, zinc and other ores, and as the ore Is mined the United States will buy it at cost ot pro duction plus transportation. (A better arrangement than any western state has been able to make with the government.) Wool has been bought from Australia. New Zealand, South Africa to the tune of StHT.oPO.OOO. A small jag of 5,000.000 pounds has been bought from South America. China. Mexico. Central and South America are furnish ing antimony. Ten countries are providing manganese, which will cost $130,000,000. Mexico, Canada and South America are sending mercury, while little attention :s given to expanding mercury' mines of Washington, "rcRon and Ni-vada. Through assistance of RFC there are 1 00.000 tor.s c-' line tin in stockpile: yet tin is so scarce that canneries, milk candenserltd and packers are ee ing rationed.

Roseburg Indians Beat Marshfield In Rough BatHe The Roseburg high school In dians were home today after an invasion of Coos Bay, where they lost a very close and exciting basketball game Friday to North Bend 26 to 32, and then evened the honors Saturday night by trimming Marshfield 37 to 32. Roseburg went out in front quickly in Saturday night's con- , test, as Wimberly and Cummlngs had the range of the basket, tak ing the first quarter la to 4. ine second period was played on even terms with the score standing 19 to 14 in Roseburg s favor at half time. During the third period the In dians became -careless and dis organized, Marshfield taking ad vantage of the lapse to tie the score at 25 all as the game went into the final period. James ' brought the Roseburg team out of the slump with a couple of well directed shots, and Anderson potted another. On the strength of the short lead, the In dians finished the game In good style. The contest was very rough, 24 fouls being called against Marsh field 20 against Roseburg, a total of 44 penalties. Jones, Anderson, Cummings and Ward were lost to the Indians in the closing min utes of play, due to personal fouls, while Haffin and Moore of the Marshfield squad were chas ed to the showers for the same cause. Marshfield used a number o substitutes in an effort to find a scoring combination, and conse quently the fouls were more widely distributed and fewer players were lost. The games played at the coast had no bearing on the Southern Oregon league standings', but .served as excellent experience for tnc Indians, wno win piay tneir first conference games here Jan. 8 and 9 against Medford. Marsh field will play a return contest, also a King's-X affair, here Jan. 16.

Dec. 21 (AP) Barney Ross, who won three world championships in the ring but now docs his fighting in far off Guadalcanal as a corporal in the United States marines, is the winner of the Edward J. Neil memorial trophy as boxing's "man of the year." Although he hasn't pulled on the padded gloves in many- months, the little Chicagoan was the unanimous choice of mem bers of the New York Writers as sociation to rccieve the award given each year in memory of the lormer Associated Press sports writer who was killed in 1938 while serving as a war corres pondent in Spain. The writers considered no other candidate than Corporal Barney, who only last month stood off a detachment of Japs and protected three wounded comrades all night until help arrived the next day. Ross, wounded and suffering from shock and fever, refused to he evacuated when his marine unit was ordered to the rear after being isolated in dangerously located underbrush. Instead, he stood guard over his wounded pals In a fox hole ex posed to a hidden machine gun nest. He tired more than 4:x) rounds of ammunition, pitched hand grenades and prayed. He killed at least seven Japs and his rescuers said he probably got ten more. HIS commanding officer rec ommended him for either the navy cross or tlie army's distin jguished service cross. V MAU. COIN HOW MOC, M Meat Allotment Date Advanced to Prevent Shortage SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19 (AP) An adequate supply of meat for Christmas at the ex pense of next year's quotas- was assured five western state in an OPA order releasing the next al lotment on Dec. 20, eleven days ahead of the former date, Jan. I, 1943. The present supply would have been exhausted by Dec. 20 In the regional area which includes Cali fornia, Oregon, Washington. Nevada and Arizona, said Guy Kinsley, regional food rationing chief. Slaughterers under the new or der may begin making deliveries on the new quota Dec. 20, but this does not mean additional meat for civilians only that the supply will be spread out over a longer period. "Obviously that calls for ex treme care by slaughterers, dis tributors, retail butchers and housewives in making the meat go as far as possible," said Kin sley. "As we see it, our job Is to tighten our belts and make the new quota go' as far as possible, recognizing that everything is be ing done to see that the fighting men who are risking their lives receive the meat they need." PORTLAND, Dec. 18. (AP) An OPA order covering Oregon, Washington, California and Ne vada Wednesday fixed wholesale prices for all beef carcasses and cuts. Specific dollars and cents ceil ings have been designated rather than varying scale based on pre vious wholesale prices. Transportation charges must be itemized separately and gov ernment grading is mandatory. Peas Best Wheat Substitute Crop, League Discovers Various kinds of peas offer the most promise as war crops to be substituted for wheat in eastern Oregon this year in the belief ot the committee of the Eastern Ore gon Wheat league which report ed on this subject at the recent convention In LaGrande. Canning peas are being produced already to the limit of cannery capacity for processing, while this year more dry edible peas and Aus trian winter field peas win bo grown than ever before, it is pre dicted. The committee reported some difficulty in planning canning pea acreage unless the excess above cannery capacity be allowed to ripen and be sold as dry peas. On the other hand, the cannery peas are the wrinkled type when ma ture, which are not suitable for general use In the food trade, ac cording to government marketing men. The committee asked that somq purchase plan for these sur plus dry canning peas be work ed out so as to insure sufficient acreage of cannery peas to meet demands even if yields should be low. The committee also reported a real opportunity in the production of smooth dry peas as a war crop under the guaranteed price of at least $5.25 under the government purchase plan. These are particu larly promising in view of the large moisture supply this winter. Inoculation of pea seed is import ant on most eastern Oregon soils, tlie report added. Some proposals that hairy vetch be grown in parts of the wheat belt were discouraged by this com mittee because of its bad habit ol volunteering. With price guaran tees being given only a year at a time, wheat growers would not be justified in planting hairy velch and getting fields infested with this plant, the report stated. U. of O. Basketeers Beat Astoria All-Stars ASTORIA. Ore.. Dec. 21 (AP) After dropping two games to the Portland Boilermakers, the University of Oregon basketball team cracked into the win column on its pre season jaunt into the northern section of the state with a 37-30 victory Saturday night over the Astoria all-stars. Astoria took an early lead but the Ducks forged ahead before the first period was over and led at halftime, 19-12. Fuhrman, Duck center, paced the scorers with 9 points while Sandness, Astoria substitute, led his team with 8. Klamath Falls Quintet Downs Grants Pass KLAMATH FALLS. Ore.. Dec. l'J-(AP) Taking the lead early in the first quarter, the Klamath Pelicans held it narrowly (or the remainder of the game to eke out a 42-36 win over a strong Grants Pass hoop team on the local tloor last night. At ha 1 ( time, the score stood at 2o to IS for the Kl.unaths.
