For example: If he fools that a Utile drink would do him no harm a snifter of cognac will sei him back 100 francs unless he picks the place with extreme care or Is just naturally shot with luck. There is a fifth of his roll pone already, and he hasn't got started. The rest of it will go with equal speed. IN pegging the Gl's dollar at 50 francs, our government, opent lug through the War department, Is motivated by the most laudable objectives. It wants to hold down European Inflation to the mini mum. It tells the GI that It's bet ter for him to save up his money than to blow it on Parisian frivolities. But to the GI the future Is something vague and distant and his weekend pass In Paris Is RIGHT NOW. He knows that if turned loose with a dollar he could buy bcaucoup francs with it on the open market maybe as many as 300. The upshot ol it Is that he goes back to his outfit with the feeling (hat he hus been gyprd- and that It is his own government that has gyped him. IN that frame of mind, Ideas are apt to blossom in his brain. There is the wool shirt he is wearing. He has another to put on, and with good fortune ,he might stall along until time for another Issue. There are wild tales of what the French, with a hard winter coming on and no lut'l in sight, will pay fur a woolen shirt. And his shoes. What a black market operator, heavy with francs and with the mud and s.!op of a Paris winter facing him, wouldn't pay for a pair of good leather foot protectors! As minor chicken feed possibilities, there are his PX ration of cigarettes and candy and other tilings he can buy cheaply at Uncle Sam'n store. He knows there's a ready and eager market for all of them just around any corner. a THEKE are other possibilities not Involving direct sale of government proerty. Al the dis tillery, for instance, cognac may be purchased for as little as 100 francs per bottle, whereas in Paris It may and probably will be salable for 1000 francs or even more If the right kind of sucker can be found. There are trucks and Jeeps all around. With a liltie original capital and a truck or a ji-ep, a guy could run up a nice profit cjuickly. Could be that even an authorized trip to the ' distillery town might materialize. SOME nasty tales are afloat in the ETO-- such as the heavy brass who is alleged to have flown a satchelful of Hritish pounds to Paris, where he bought unpegged francs with them at a stiff profit which was added to by further finagling in exchange, with an ultimate profit running well into six figures I American i thai was successfully convei ted into dollars and transferred to a bank back home.

UNCLE SAM AS A PARTNER By Charles V. Stanton 1'artnership between Uncle Sam and private industry in development ol wider utilization of timber is needed if full est use of 1'acific -Northwest quickly, declares Dr. J. A. Hall, director of the Northwest f orest and Kange Experiment station. Private industry, lie contends, will be slow to put in operation new processes ana metnous lor utilization oi cost involved and tlie experimental nature of tho operation. ASut by cooperation between the federal government and private industry, federal money could be used' to build pilot plants, which, in turn, would be taken over by private in dustry, with the government reclaiming its investment through a share of protits over a period of years. JJr. Hall points out that experiment stations are work ing constantly to develop new manufacturing processes, new methods of utilizing wood and wood waste, new uses lor wood and wood products, new types of machinery and equipment. As these processes and methods are developed public patents are obtained. These patents are available to private industry. Hut because no exclusive privilege is obtainable, industry is not anxious to invest in the initial cost of experimentation. Dr. Hall hopes for a program in which the cost of the experimental stage that period between the laboratory and actual production would be financed by the federal gov ernment. Such program, in his opinion, would materially hasten the day when waste of forest products would cease and fullest possible utilization be obtained. This, hi turn, would permit far more efficient forest management. He cites the alcoiiol-from-wood-waste plant now undt-r construction at Springfield as an example. The process for extracting sugar and other commercial products from wood waste, he points out, has been known for many years. But it was not until an emergency was created by war that any attempt was made to put the process to practical use. Pri vate capital was not interested in underwriting cost of experimentation. The federal government, however, has furnished money for the Springlield plant. The next plant can be erected at mueh les cost and can be made to operate more efficiently as the result of engineering experience. Alter the Springfield plant is proven profitable in opera lion, private capital doubtless will be more easily interested in further development. Through application of the same financing methods, other processes of wood waste utilization can be developed commercially, Dr. Hall believes, but unless a partnership between Uncle Sam and puvate industry is obtained, it will take many years before wasteful practices in our forests are eliminated. , We can think of no better place in these United States where Dr. Hall's theory could be developed more advan tageously than here in Douglas county.' Uncle Sam Owns more than one-half of our timber lands. The nation, as a whole, will benefit from proper and complete utilization ol the publicly-owned timber resource. Douglas county's vast body of timber, the largest commercial stand remain ing in the country, is virtually untouched. This virgin field is ideal for putting into practice new theories and experi ments which scientists, chemists, researchers and others are so rapidly developing. it is difficult to wean the its old wasteful processes, yet lumbermen are the first to admit the need for a change to methods whereby fullest utilization ot timber resources could bo obtained. JJut capi tal is timid. Men with money do not like to be the first to risk their cash on some untried venture. Let a new process lie proven profitable, and any amount of private jinancml backing can be obtained for expansion and de velopment, liut it is difficult to find money with which to make the initial venture. Here is' where Uncle Sam, by lornung a partnership with the lumber industry, can be of great service in furnishing jobs, developing new products and new uses for old products, increasing the potential value of his own holdings, and building communities. Again you must remember that tlie American army is a cross section of the American public. If there are racketeers at home, there will be racketeers In the army. THE point is that the American soldier In continental Europe - - wheiv money is cheap and commodities are priivh-ss, where nobody has any conlidenee In the value of money and cvcrylxidy is Hying to exchange it for things, where the economist's term "flight from money" is a stark and living realll Is CON STANTLY surrounded by tempta tion. Opportunities for black ,.,:,rk"t pre!!! I!ir:-.!!y trip him up at every turn. The ama.ing thing is that with opportunities so numerous per forinance is so rare. Even Hie feeling thai he Is being gyped in the way he is paid doesn't lead the normally honest American soldier astray. It isn't how much racketeering there may lx but how LITTLE there is that is amaing. Our annul lerccs here, taken as a whole, are fantastically honest. i Note: Mr. Jenkins' columns have been written from England, France and Germany, but ir regularity of the mails has made il Impossible to Use the columns consecutively and thus follow lum on day-by-day journeys. .Some columns written In France arrived at Klamath Falls before others written previously in England.)

He said there is not likely to be any relief in the cur rent shortage until the new crop Is available, which will not be before November 1 in the Far West. Program Recommended From intormation gaineu irom Mr. liorger and from reports from other sources, the commit tee has recommended a feed con servation program for Oregon, essential points of which are as follows: 1. Let grass in the form of pas ture, hay, or silage, give maxi mum helu in makintr milk, while dairymen reduce grain rations especially protein supplements to the lowest practicable level. 2. Conserve scarce concentrates by reducing protein content of dairy rations to not more than 14 per cent, and the content of poultry rations to not more than 15 Der cent. Use the smallest amount of protein that will still permit elticient production. d. use ranges anu pastures iu the fullest extent possioie lor turkeys and hogs to conserve pro teins and grains. 4. Cull flocks vigorously to re move all non-producing birds to save avaiiaDie leeu lor growing pullets. &. 11 local grains are nui uuunu- ant, cull slow developing punets and cockerels as soon as possioie to leave more feed lor the quick deveoping pullets. 6. Give priority on iecu 10 pui lets hatched prior to June, hurry ing their development into strong, vigorous layers. 7.

OKINAWA, Sept. 12 ( Delayed ' API-- LI. Louis Zamperini, for; m'er University of Southern Cali fornia athlete, who survived a plane crash in the Pacific, 47 days on a raft and more than Iwo years in Japanese prison camps, said last night his ath letic career is finished. "I'll never run again." com mented Zamperini, who'once was national collegiate mile cham pion at USC and represented the United States in the 1036 Olympics. Resting here a few days before continuing bis flight home to Torrance. Calif., the huskv, broad-shouldered athlete was fill ing out once more as he respond ed quickly to Army chow and rest. He related how his weight had dropped from 1U2 munds to S7 pounds when he was picked up bv a Japanese fisherman alter 17 days on a raft with First Lt. Russell A. Phillips of Princeton, lud. Their Liberator bomber of the lUh bombardment group had de veloped engine trouble and crashed some 200 miles north ol' Palmyra island on May 27, llil'l, while on a search mission. Only three men pulled through. Zam perini had been listed by the War department as dead. Adrift for 15 Days Zamperini said he lashed two lafLs together for Phillips, the tail gunner, and himself. They drifted south into the heart ol enemv-lield Marshall islands, a distance he estimated al more than 1.200 .miles. Thirty-two days out the tail gunner died and was burled at sea. Fifteen days later fishermen spotted them and they were taken to Maloelap atoll, in the M.irshalls. That was the only place w here were treated decently, uni 'fi.- IItjI ,-:,mn I hn mn;t ; sjj(1.

Another constant compan ion of Zamperini was the notori ous Sergeant Watanabe, who lashed tne American prisoners with bamboo bats and a webb belt with a steel buckle. "I had my head split 12 or 15 times, Zamperini said. "There were continual beatings. We lived on seaweed and barley and I had dysentery continuously." Zamperini said he was in the prison hospital when Superforts started their food drops, after the surrender of Japan. He has gained 20 pounds since then and now weighs 149 and looks solid. Cabinet Purge to Meet U. S. Wishes Looms in Japan TOKYO, Thursday, Sept. 13. (AP) The Japanese cabinet was called into special session today to discuss Gen. MacArthur's des ignation of members of former Premier Toio's "Pearl Harbor" cabinet as among those to be taken into custody. Well-informed sources said the session might presage a "purge" and tnat Premier lligashi-Kuni was reviewing the present cabi net to determine if "all members are acceptable to the American forces." Other Japanese said a few days ago that many of their people consider that Foreign Minister Shigemitsu and former Premier Konoye, now state minister with out portfolio, might be named as war criminals. Japanese close to government circles said many of the wanted naa scattered to their homes awaiting the arrival of the Amer ican agents. They added, how ever, that it was possible some would commit suicide rather than face arrest. "The Japanese feel that all members of Tojo's cabinet should have committed suicide after the fall of Saipan," one Japanese said. "The general opinion today is that Toio failed to fulfill his ob ligations, honor and responsibility Dy tne metnod wun winch ne at tempted to take his life." he added. Britain Seeks Money, U. S. Wants Trade Rights WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. (API Financial help totaling at least $3,000,000,000 ior the next three years appears to" be the British goal in an Anglo-American economic conference opening here today. Both sides are reluctant to talk about actual dollar aid although that is the core of the whole con ference. The British would like the United States to say what assist ance it can offer. The Americans would prefer for the British to tell what they want and the nnegotiate on that basis. MASON JARS ; Begwlars Quarts 75 Doz. ECONOMY JAR CAPS 2 Doz. 19c Whitmi, Brmmrn.

S. farm ers reached a new w artime peak last year, about one per cent alKive their 1913 net income. Net returns, including Government payments, to farm operators in 1944 totaled $12,482,569,000, com pared with S12,325,231,000 in 1913 and $4.6 billion in 1940. These figures show the income to farm ers over and above their operat ing expenses.
