HARRIS and council have requested ns pedestrians to cooperate in obedience of traffic rules. Pedes trians are urged particularly to cease jaywalking, and motorists arc requested to observe pedestrian right of way at inter section lanes. We doubt if this appeal succeeds in creating any material improvement in conditions. We wish it could. We would like lo think that calling attention of the public to a dangerous situation would be sufficient to produce better practices. But it has been our observation that a certain few will heed no words of warning, will breezily disregard all traffic regulations and go their own headstrong way without regard to their own safety or to the safely of others. If the city administration tions, - we anticipate that a few arrests and some good stiff fines will go a lot further in accomplishing the desired result than all the recommendations we could print on the limited amount of paper available lo this newspaper. City officials are very deeply concerned over the increasing practice of jaywalking, which you all know is the casual ambling ncrosB streets at any and all marked off for pedestrian lanes. This practice is growing more and more hazardous because of the great increase in traffic on the narrow city streets. Our traffic poblem is get ling extemely critical. The streets of the city were laid out by men in the horse and buggy clays and apparently with no expectation that the place would ever amount to much. Now we are in the beginning of an industrial boom and al ready the congestion is becoming serious and will grow steadily worse uules3 some solution can be found in the near future. Consequently the careless habit of pedestrians in crossing streets in ihe middle of blocks not only constitute a hazard to life and limb, but also slows up traffic and adds to the con gestion. However, the pedestrians have Jheir rights as well. In traf fic lanes the pedestrian has right of way over motor vehicles. Cars are supposed to halt while he is crossing the street. Rose burg motorists are extremely careless in observing this rule. It is suprising how some people, who would not fail in any of life's, ordinary courtesies, refuse to exercise even decent manners at the wheel of an automobile or when walking in traffic. Motorists, who are Chcslerfieldians at home or in public associations, in come cases border on wild mania when . i . .i i r ..l:..i PJ.

City officials have every reason to be worried over exist ing conditions. As we have previously slated, we believe a few arrests would be much more effective than our comment Our chief concern, however, is that we will be one of the first to be yanked into the city baslile. unless we can remember to break our own jaywalking habits. lion was lukewarm compared with thai accorded him in HMO when he was a Presidential can didate.

Washington News From an Inside View ijcci Argument, Sentiment, Comment By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth Oregon District WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 16. -Another session this week, this time with members of the pro duction executive committee of the War Production board along with Mr. A. H. Bunker, head of the light metals division of WPB. Wilson (acting WPB chairman) presided and did most of the talking, with Mr. Bunker to fur nish statistics and technical knowledge as called for. The members of the PEC Including a couple of army generals and some admirals said nothing. Once more we were told that the three alumina-from-clay plants previously approved for construction one in Wyoming, one in South Carolina, and one in the northwest would not ie approved now. There is a little bauxite left In Arkansas enough to last about two years, i We have a small stockpile about one year's sup ply. After that unless we can keep the sea lanes open, we will have NO alumina at all. In the face of these facts (which were fully admitted at both meetings), WPB to date re fuses to consider developing a means of producing alumina in our own country. The thing smells to high heaven. After the subject had been pretty well threshed over In the meeting, and we were about ready to leave (in disgust), Rep resentative Coffee D Wash.) asked Mr. Bunker, (who, by the way, in private life is a top ex ecutive for Alcoa), who owns the bauxite deposits in South Ameri ca. The reply was that the baux ite is principally owned by the Alumina Company of America, but the British Aluminum com pany has some holdings there also! Coffee then said: "Thanks, gentlemen, I think that gives us the answer to our question." And the meeting broke up. Why did Wilson and WPB pre viously approve the alumina-from-clay plants and then some HO days later reverse Iheir deci sion? That question has been a hard one to get answered. 11 has not yet been officially answered - probably never will be. Two rumors appeared this week which, if they are true, give an unofficial but rather nasty an swer: Rumor No. 1 Aluminum in terests have only VERY recent ly completed negotiations for the purchose of some west coast shipping facilities assumption j is such a deal insures post-war importation of bauxite from the! very rich Dutch East Indies de-1 posits. j RumorNo. 2 Aluminum inter Soups Come and Get It!

If you're on the lookout for meals that will fill, We'll welcome you into the Silvernook Grill. THE SILVERNOOK GRILL Pop and Mom Wiard 227 N. Jackson St. ests DID NOT complete negotia tions for control of one of the three proposed alumina-from-clay plants, thus giving them little or no interest In the pro posed further development of alumina from clay In the United States. These reports are passed along for whatever they may be worth. We arc entitled to a much bet ter and more reasonable answer than has thus far been given of- licially for the fact stands re affirmed and undisputed by anyone that, if we have planes made of aluminum to use in fighting this war after three years or to use in defending the country in the future the raw material must be shipped in from South America (or from the East Indies, when and if we get control of them again) . . . unless WPB again changes its mind, back to its first decision, and permits the further develop ment of alumina-from-clay with in the boundaries of the United States. It will be recalled that the first objection to the alumina-from-clay plant in the northwest was because of a shortage of man power. That objection has not recently been advanced as the main objection. But the manpower problem on the west coast has not been en tirely settled. Last Saturday, Just after writing the weekly letter, I sat with a committee of Pacific coast congressmen and we heard heads of WPB, WMC, army, navy and maritime com mission explain the Nelson man power directive of September 18th, and how it had effected purchases and the letting of con tracts on the west coast. The hearing lasted from ten In the morning (Saturday) until six in the evening. The stenographic report of the proceedings for the day is a volume 21 inches thick (typewritten). It is on my desk now in original form, so that I may correct any errors made in transcribing my questions and comments. But briefly, here is what we learned: Order of September 18th was definite and final. Stopped eon tracts and purchases. However, army, navy and maritime ami mission had not actually can celled any contracts or placed new contracts elsewhere they apparently were waiting clarifi cation or modification of the or der. Our little committee went into action October 5th. On October 8th, the services received a sup plemental order modifying and clarifying the September 18th order. Our second hearing was held on the 9th. Whether the activities of the On ! k04 committee had anything to do with the second clarifying order, which did smooth things out con siderably no one will ever know but the dates are interestine as a matter of coincidence, If noth ing else. At any rate, as mat ters now stand, purchases will bo made as formerly and contracts will be let as formerly with the provision that regional commit tees will pass upon such con tracts as may be open to ques tion on the subject of manpower. No action In the house again this week, but the program for next week, just received, indi cates resumption of legislative business after what seems to have been an unreasonably long period of Inactivity. Snell Urges Segregation Of Youthful Convicts SALEM, Ore., Oct. 20. (API Segregation of youthful convicts at the state prison and more ade quate education for them will be proposed by Governor Snell at the next board of control meet ing, the governor said today. Snell said it might be possible to use the old prison hospital, now abandoned, to house the young prisoners. Members of the state parole board said they favor Snell's suggestion. There are 775 prisoners now, compared with more than 1100 two years ago.

Tonight marks the last of the Take A Card quiz shows at 8 and, since we have found It very entertaining, we hate to see it go off the air. The final ' show should be good because Lew Lehr is guest contestant and it should make for fun and plenty of laughs. By the way, Martha Scott and Lloyd Nolan appear tonight at 6:30 on the Soldiers With Wings show In an i original dramatic skit. This is ' Bulldog Drummond's night to sleuth via the air waves, too. Now, for the cheering news: Our old favorite In fact, almost our very favorite radio show "San Quentin On the Air" returns to the network at 7:30 Thursday night, replacing the show from Fort Lewis. Here's hoping our old favorites are still there. Per haps that's not such a nice thought either, under the cir cumstances. Anyway be sure to listen in Thursday evening at 7: 30 for the theme "Time On My Hands" and here's hoping they 'll do "San Quentin Breakdown" some night soon. Thursday's also the day the local scat of learning put R. H. S. on the air at 10:30 in the a. m. Music You Remem ber at 6:30 will bring you an added treat this week as Anna- I loris will appear twice weekly trom now on. and In the evening you get forty-five minutes of dance bands starting at 8:15.
