Si Dlllard, right, Dodge dealer In Roseburg, discusses postwar
automobile possibilities with Forest H. Akers, vice president and
director of sales of the Dodge division of Chrysler corporation, at a
recent meeting of Oregon Dodge dealers. According to Akers,
the nation's automobile manufacturer will be turning out automo
biles four months after the termination of their war contracts
If those In authority will ride herd on the proper shortcuts and
accelerate the postwar reconversion Jobs. "When I say we can
start delivering cars four months after the war Jobs are finished,
I make that prediction on the premise that our 1600 vendors cart
keep pace with us," Akers went on. "The first postwar auto will
be, substantially and in the main, the 1942 model, while any
major changes in tools and dibs would mean a delay of at least
six months." ' '

candidate "should make himself
crystal clear," Landon called up
on Wendell L. Willkle yesterday
lor a frank statement as to lust
how he differs with Lantlon's
views regarding the republican
party.
Replying to a statement by the
1D-10 republican presidential can
didate that if Landon's recent
speeches represent the thinking
of the party, some one other than
Willkie should be the 1944 lead
er, Landon said:
"Mr. Willkie hasn": rnade him
self entirely clear just where he
differs with me. I'd welcome a
million people would welcome a
frank statement, We must settle
that Issue right this time. Let's
not wisecrack about it.
"A presidential candidate ought
to make himself crystal clear. He
also ought to make It clear as a
crystal on what ticket he aims
to run."
"Little Fellow" Periled
Landon said that the present
administration "thinks In, terms
of public works while business is
thinking of full employment for
every ne." . ,, ,
He said the trend In the capi
tal from the beginning of the
new deal had been aimed at
elimination of the "little fellow"
in business.
"If you wonder why a govern
ment against big business should
aim to eliminate the little fellow,
you must remember that when
the little fellow is eliminated
then It becomes a case of private
monopoly against government
monopoly and the people must
and should choose government
monopoly," he said.

Why Landlords and Business Firms
Need Public Liability Insurance
What constitutes an unusual hazard or a defective
condition is often a matter for determination by a
jury. Where Is there a man who wishes to leave
his bank account and his other possessions to the
tender mercies of a jury? PUBLIC LIABILITY IN
SURANCE does not cost a fortune but may save
a fortune!

Evacuated Japs'
Return to Pacific
Coast Is Opposed
SAN FRANCISCO. Dee. 13-
! (AP) Return of evacuated JaD-
anese to me i-aciiic coa3t during
me war, win Dring "violence and
Dioodshed," says a -California
state senate committee which
studied last month's riotous con
ditions at Tule Lake center for
disloyal Japanese.
In a telegram to President
Roosevelt, Secretary of War
Stimson and the California dele
gation, the committee said that it
"fears and knows that the reloca
tion in this state of the Japanese
during the war will inevitably
ieaa to violence and bloodshed."
The committee found that the
administration of the Tule Lake
segregation center under the war
relocation administration "lacked
firmness and was utterly devoid
of any definite policy," and re
peated its recommendation that
the army retain control of the
cehter.
The committee expressed belief
that the trouble at Tule Lake
could have been averted by a def
inite policy of firmness and that
if the army had been in charge
"these demonstrations and inci
dents would hot have occurred."
The report concerning the
camp administration said:
"The policy of handling the sit
uation and the camp was that of
conciliation, of granting one re
quest after another, and that as
soon as one request was granted
there were always further, de
mands made. There as no end
to It.
"The administration of the.
camp lacked firmness and was
utterly devoid of any definite pol
icy. No order or directive could
be given to any internee. He
could simply be requested to co
operate through a Japanese
spokesman."

"Not a Premium on Patriotism"

"These arc the facts as they have been pointed ' '
out to OPA by the Wat Food Administration.
And they have led to this new plan: 'Two red
ration points free when yon turn in a pound of
ttsed fat to your butcher.'
"This is not a premium on patriotism. It is a
way of bringing home to all women the urgent
need of kitchen fats to make gunpowder.
Moreover, it seems only just to return points
for this service, because fats cost ration stamps. ,
Your butcher has been informed of this ruling
which went into effect on December 13th."
How the Plan Will Work
It's as simple as it sounds. AH you have to do
is fill up a tin can with used cooking fat and
take it to vour butcher. You don't need to use

The hot lunch project began
this year on December 6 and will
continue for two or three months.
The project consists of preparing
and serving one hot dish tc the
school children by the mothers
who serve two at a time. The val

ers report,; cannot be over-estimated,
especially for those young
sters who have to leave home
early in the morning and do not
get home until late in the eve
ning. Because of the large school
enrollment it is hoped , by the
sponsors that more mothers will

a special kind of gin tiny kind will do. And
you don't need to have any specified amount of
fat; take it to your butcher whenever the can is
full. He will estimate the weight of the tin and
give you, cash in hand, 4c and two red points
for every pound of used fat you deliver.
The government does not ask for these fats
until you've got the cooking good out of them.
But when that is done, every spoonful is wanted.
Would it surprise you to learn that just one
single tablespoon of fat just the little bit that
is usually washed out of your broilers and roast
ing pans and skillets will make five machine
gun bullets? Or enough smallpox vaccines for
seventy-three men ?
Answers to Housewives' Questions
It doesn't matter whether the fat is burned or
biack--it still makes crystal-clear glycerine.
It doesn't matter whether it's pan drippings,
fat from a soup, used shortening, cooking oils,
or melted solid fat.
And, finally, it doesn't matter how little you
save each day. Every drop is precious.
Saving these fats and turning them in is not
an easy job. But it's a lot easier than doing the
things our men must do on the battle fronts.
Is it too much for them to expect that the
wives and mothers of America will perform this
task for them-to help put inio'thcir Jiands v, fiat
they need to win? . - ' ' , 5
They know it is not. They know that all their
country has to do is ask once our women
really understand.
Won't you start saving your used fats today?
