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."

Yes, unfortunately, folks like you good honest, figKting Americans
last year started more forest fires than lightning, saboteurs and
incendiaries put together. 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!

Wider Age Limits
Fixed for WACs
Dropping an "A" from WAAC
wasn't the only change effected
in the women's army corps by
recent congressional legislation
announces Colonel J. J. Fulmer,
Oregon army recruiting chief.
The Portland recruiting head
quarters explains that they are
now authorized to accept enlist
ments applications from women
20 to 50 years of age. Formerly
enlistments wero restricted to
women in the 21 to 45 age group.
Another result of the change
which makes enrollment in the
women's army even more invit
ting entitles WACs to all of the
privileges enjoyed by male mem
bers of the armed servcies. A
feminine soldier now is eligible
lor National Service life Insur
ance, special free mailing priv
ileges, a wider variety of non
combat jobs, and ranks equal to
those of the regular army. Thus
an auxiliary becomes a private
and a third officer a second lieu
tenant and so forth.
Complete information about the
new opportunities offered in the
womens army is available at
WAC recruiting headquarters,
