POETS CORNER THE AMERICA I KNEW I By Pvt. Dallon Wayne Miller) No more for me will the mountains rise In the golden land of the far-off West; No more the sweet Virginia skies ; Will smile on Potomac's ample Breast; And, Borinquen, land of the summer sun, The time has come and I'm on the fly From the day that's done, all days are one And the hour is at hand to say goodbye. Farewell to the distant forest chateau That beckons afar wherever I roam, Farewell to the north and its stinging snow, And the colonnaded colonial home; And to you, likewise, the farewells be, The Manana Land of the Soul hern cross It's a stonier lec and a stormier sea, And each farewell becomes my loss. Those days wo lived and walked in peace Hut now the somber miles unwind And It's an uphill grade till the storms shall cease And we'll mourn the faces we've left behind. It's onward now till the brighter days Peep through from the crimson -.v flame -of-hell-, , Till the shining rays of the sapphire haze Bring again the old, enchanting spell.

Military Training Of Interned Japs Rapped by Mundt WASHINGTON, July 21 IAP) Terming expenditure of public funds for teaciilng Japan ese and Judo at war relocation centers Indefensible, Representa tive Mundt III., S. D.) contends such practises should be discon tinued. Mundt, a member of the Dies subcommittee investigating the Japanese problem, said in a state ment published In Iho Congres sional Record today that War Re location authority officials In flamed Ihe subcommittee several hundred dollars monthly is being spent for such purposes. This, the congressman declared, Is "a glaring example of what not to do" if relocation centers are to serve as Americanization units for the people of Japanese ancestry who arc confined In them. Describing Judo as a form of Japanese military training In which parliripants are trained tti maim or kill their adversaries, Mundt declared that use of pub lie funds for such instruction Is "about as sensible as it .would be to use taxpayers' money to pro vide textbooks In sabotage." Other Conclusions Listed. Other personal conclusions Mundt said he reached as a re sult of the subcommittee's hear ings were: 1. There should be early and or dcrly segregation of disloyal anil alien Japanese from loyal citi zens of Japanese ancestry wilhS. war relocation camps. 2. A more satisfactory and T feellve program for classifying loyal citizens of Japanese antvs try as such, prior to their release to private employment, should he instituted. 3. Relocation centers can be made a highly significant lactnr in the Americanization of all evacuees in such centers. It prop erly used. Mundt said, the project centers may go far toward iflssi patlng any potential racial prob lem which might otherwise de velop after the war with regard to citizens of Japanese ancestry. I. The WRA lias not been un duly extravagant in its use nf foods and materials at the cen ters. Mundt said he'believed the ; Japanese were being "amply hut i not lavishly fed" and that housing j conditions were "loo meager rath i or than too expansive." 5. Evidence in war department ! tiles show many loyal Japanese , serving with the V. S. armed forces and hear "eloquent testi- ; mony to the fact that real Amei i ; canism has a tervent appeal tor many of Japanese ancestry."

Untrained Men Blamed by Ickes, For War Errors NEW YORK, July 20 (AP) fnterlor Secretary Ickes declared today that blame for any fric tions or failures In the war pro gram snoutd be placed upon bus inessmen who have been drafted for the war effort rather than upon "brain trusters" or "new dealers or "bureaucrats." Speaking to the Sales Execu tives club of New York. Ickes de scribed Himself as "one of the few new dealers left In the Washington administration." and declarqd that this group had been subjected to unmerited criticism for war effort bobbles. 'It Isn't that new dealers who have been running this war. If I know anything about Washing ton it Is that the business men who have been drafted have been running the war men like Knud sen, Nelson, Stetlnius and many others whom I might mention," cues toiu nis audience. "I have sometimes ventured to think all by myself, of course that this sudden and great influx of men who, while highly compe tent in their own fields, were In experienced and untrained in and unsympathetic with government procedures, was not as well ad vised as It appeared to be. "The clankings, the screcchings of badly oiled machinery, the clashings of one war endeavor against artother, may have been at least somewhat due to the fact that new hands wero undertaking work that they did not know much about."

These are facts. Each careless act was as , destructive as if it had been the deliberate job of a saboteur. Here in the Pacific Northwest we not only have much' to lose from forest fires, but we also have a responsibility to all America, to prevent fires from starting in our precious timberlands. We owe it to. put country ttf be even more careful than we have been before. ' FOREST FIRES I Destroy vital war material (there are 1,200 direct military uses for wood) . . . disrupt war industries . . . transportation and communications. 2 Take valuable manpower from war industries and agricul- ture for fire fighting. Cive aid and comfort to the enemy by creating a smoke we screen which hampers our warning services and interceptor command, and make ideal conditions for a sneak attack on the West Coast. This year wc must not let our carelessness be the enemy's secret weapon. Last year the Pacific Northwest had an excellent fire record. The fuc pro tection agencies of Oregon and Washington appreciate the cooperation of the public in preventing fires. But sonic fires were started which should have been prevented. Wc can make an even better record in 1943. .Fire in Oregon's forests is a threat to every citizen of Oregon and every soldier on even' front. A threat to our country's safety. So let's be on guard this summer against carelessness, incendiarism' or sabotage and Keep Oregon Green! REMEMBER THESE RULES! DROWN YOUR CAMPFIRE...
