Nw Industry in Prospect
THE Roseburg area is one of
I several in the Pacific north
west containing alumina bearing
clay deposits which may be de
veloped in the event processes for
recovery of the ore are discover
ed, according to Ivan Bloch, chief
of the market development sec
tion of the Bonneville Power ad
ministration. 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.

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

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.

Boxing Trophy
voted Barney Ross
For War Heroism
NEW YORK. 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.

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,

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
