R. WILLIAMS ance is no greater than you will find, say, between New England and the Deep South. They are probably not as great. If you keep your eyes down there are NO high buildings here you won't realize that you aren't In San Francisco, with its present throngs ol men in uni form. There are more different KINDS of uniforms here, for there are troops from all over the world, but that is about the only difference in the crowds. THERE is an American theory, widely held, that the British are reserved and cold and dis tant almost to the point of clamminess. . That isn't true. After a few weeks here, this writer has come to the conclusion that what they are is SHY. They practically never speak to an American FIRST. But when the American goes ahead in his natural, normal manner and starts asking questions, or com menting about the weather, or do ing whutever we do to break the initial ice and get a conversu-J Hon started in our own country assuming always that he is courteous and agreeable and pleasant about it the English man will thaw out as quickly and be as friendly and companionable 'as anyone. A Westerner soon comes to the conclusion that English people are much easier to get acquainted R-lth than New Englanders. Tills writer once made a casual re mark to his next-door neighbor at a restaurant counter In New York and received this rebuffing answer: "You're one of these Westerners who speak to Strang' ers. aren't you?" There is none of that attitude here. a ATYPICAL example is a fairly large farmer upon whom this writer called in the Midlands the other clay. He was In his OF FICE this English farmers on a fairish scale have offices, even including a combination book keeper and stenographer, and often an inter - ocnimunicating telephone system so that they can speak direct and without going through a central office to their various operations. That Is where they are normally to be found He was difficult at first, and cave almost the Impression of being put out at being disturbed. But by that time this writer was getting onto the system and in stead of hurriedly excusing him self and getting away from there nlunced into questioning for the operation was an Interesting one. with much to challenge an American's curiosity. Under this barrage of questions the English man's reserve (I'm personally convinced it Is SHYNESS) melted almost Immediately and in a few minutes he was calling up his ear and insisting on going on a tour of his entire establishment and during the tour he was as Inter ested and as voluble as an Ameri can would have been In similar circumstances.

When this thing is all over and our OIs are where they want to be, which is HOME, It will be realized that they have clone a far greater Job of inter , national good will building than "all public relations experts put together.

Stanton Oregon has 127 newspapers of general circulation, repre senting a total investment of f 13,211,496, Carl C. Webb, assistant professor of journalism at the University of Ore gon, and secretary-manager of the Oregon Newspaper Pub lishers association, reports in an article appearing in the current issue of Oregon Business Review, a publication from the Bureau of Business Research, School of Business Admin istration, U. of 0. Mr. Webb's report includes newspapers only and does not cover trade publications, labor or farm papers. Since Pearl Harbor, he reports, 18 Oregon newspapers have suspended publication or have been consolidated. All except one of these were weeklies, and the majority were small publications making a marginal profit, Webb states. Telling of the results of a recent survey made by the association, he reports that newspapers are operating with manpower shortages from 25 to 50 per cent below normal, while 800 employes are in military service, leaving 2,230 to carry on the work. Oregon newspapers have shown large gains in circulation, part of which results from 22,000 copies being sent regu larly to members of the armed forces. The major part of the increase of nearly 100,000 copies, however, results from new families coming into the state since the war. Mr. Webb points out that daily newspapers have been limited to from 76 to 96 per cent of their newsprint con sumption for a corresponding quarter in 1941, but he does not mention that this shortage of newsprint is, in the opin ion of experts, apt to continue for a good many months. Some of the more pessimistic forecasts are that newspapers will not get sufficient newsprint for two or three years. Mr. Webb says in his article: The home-town newspaper has been likened to a "con cave mirror" which not only reflects tho life In the community but shows all sides and phases by explaining local happenings in great detail. The function of the community newspaper is to print all of the local news, to publish authentic information which often "spikes" rumors, to entertain readers through the use of pictures and features, and to increase the tempo of business In the oommunlty by providing advertisers with a valuable advertising medium. To accomplish these responsibilities enumerated by Mr. Webb a newspaper must have newsprint. Because of news print shortages during the war, newspapers have eliminated or reduced many of their entertainment features comics, cartoons, editorial and health columns, crossword puzzles, serial stories, etc. Newspapers have been condensed through tighter editing, smaller headlines, less white space, smaller type. Many papers, like the News-Review, have been forced to limit circulation to their own communities. Advertising has been greatly restricted. Some papers have rationed advertising. Others have placed maximum size limitations in effect. , ' It is quite evident that until newspapers can obtain more newsprint, they cannot fully discharge the responsibility they have for printing all the news, entertaining their read ers and serving their advertisers. Shortage of newsprint may seriously affect the speed of reconversion. Kight now this country is faced with a irreat unemployment problem as industries convert from produc tion of materials of war back to the products normally manufactured. The speed with which industry can be brought back to full peacetime production will govern the length of the unemployment crisis. The reconversion period can be materially shortened through the medium of adver tising. Consumer demands for merchandise will enable fac tories to supply jobs for laborers. The larger the trade demands, the greater will be the rate of employment. Ad vertising produces consumer demand. But without ade quate supplies of newsprint, newspapers cannot give the service their advertisers will need. Already the demand for newspaper advertising space is growing by leaps and bounds. Local business has grown sloppy in advertising habits dur ing the war. Ketail stores had little merchandise to offer and they could sell what they had without extensive adver tising. Within a few more months there will be an ample supply of consumer goods. Merchandising competition will increase. Business firms will need advertising space to hold up profits. But unless newspapers can secure more adequate supplies of newsprint distribution tif merchan dise may. be adversely affected, thus retarding the manu facturing industry in full scale employment. As Mr. Webb points out, newspapers can increase the tempo of business. It will be a tragedy if we permit full scale employment and industrial reconversion to be retarded simply because of inadequate supplies of newsprint. iMM4I-MP''A1Pi WELL.

Law rence, aboard a flying Fortress over Nagasaki. Japan, that the atomic bomb dropped on Naga saki brought "destruction of a sort never before imagined by man and therefore . . . almost in-descrlbable." "... There wc:. nul a living thing to be soon in the area along both sides of the Ulakami river where Ihe Iximb damage was con centrated,' Lawrence wrote!, t Nagasaki, a Japanese indus trial renter of -'.Yl.OOO persons, was bombed August 9. one day before the Jaane:fO government broadcast its surrender offer. "Block after block oi buildings, which were jammed together so closely that N;.gus;tki looked lrom the air in peacetime liko a sea ol roots, has disappeared,-" t.awrence sain. "Thp area where the bomli hit is absolutely tlat, and only the marking oi the building inunda tions provide a clue as to what may have been in the area be fore the energy of the universe Itself was turlid loose n destroy the industrial potential of Japan. Sight Stuns Him '"this correspondent, who has the worst damaged cities of Russia and of Poland, was stunned by the sight of Nagasaki below him. About 50 per cent of the town seemed to have been completely wiped out. and the destruction in that area was worse than any the writer had' seen In Stalingrad or Warsaw. An arms factory is nothing but a mass of twisted girders, Lawrence continued. "The wooden tlnderbox hoi.srs which were Jammed eve to eve have disappeared and nil that remains are tivgrncnts that trom the plane look about the sie ot match sticks. "It is obvious that the flash when the bomb went off was great and covered a l.uge area. Even Forests Leveled "On the sides of a rugged treo-cuvored hill that is close be hind Nagasaki, whole sections of forest have been burned off. "The winding Urakami river flows exactly through the center j ol the destroyed area. It was clcur from the view we have had. today that it was no barrier to1 the spread of fire and destruc tion. "We have as yet no accurate report on the number ot persons who were killed and injured in the atomic bomb blast, but there is no doubt that industrial Naga saki was completely wiped out by the single bomb.
