him far.
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.
"If the brass does it." the GI
naturally thinks when the rumor
comes to his ears, "why shouldn't

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.

Program of Feed
Conservation Is
Offered to Oregon
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
COKVALLIS, Sept. 13. The pro
tein shortage for animal feeding
nas nor cnuea wun close oi the

je,"!
vlsory committee for Oregon. All
(Ctpr"fcmf meals," reports'"' fm!
lirandt, head ot the animal hus
bandry division, and the O. S. C.
representative on the committee.
Members ot tne committee con
ferred recently With Walter Ber-
ger of the feed management
branch of the AAA in Washing
ton, D. C. 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. Hatcheries are advised to
level olf their production for the
remainder of ltwa to not more
than were hatches? in the same
months of 104 1. 1

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

Torrance. Calif., the huskv,
broad-shouldered athlete was fill

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

veloped engine trouble and
crashed some 200 miles north ol'
Palmyra island on May 27, llil'l,

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

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

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

added.

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.

Jaycees Undertake
Advance Sale Of
RHS Grid Tickets
The Roseburg Junior Chamber
of Commerce has undertaken tlie
advance sale of season tickets for
Roseourg High school's football
s-hedu'e. Omar J. Monger, High
school piincipal, announced to
day. The Jaycees will attempt to
beat last year's record by the
Senior chamber, which sold 600
season tickets.
The club will have the assist
ance of the Pep club girls from
the High school.
Five home games are offered
this year, with the first three
games in succession.
The first game will be played
against Lebanon Sent. 28. Univer
sity High, Eugene, will come to
Roseburg Oct. 5. The University
High game originally was sched
uled at Eugene, but is to be
played at Roseburg due to con
flicts with Eugene High and Uni
versity of Oregon games. Rose
burg has given the Eugene team
a guarantee of expenses and re
tains the contract for a game in
Roseburg next year, putting the
Eugene team on the Roseourg
field three successive years.
Other scheduled games are:
Oct. 12, Springfield at Roseburg;
Oct. 19, Roseburg at Junction
City; Oct. 28, Cottage Grove at
Roseburg; Nov. 2, Roseburg at
Ashla'nd; Nov. 9, Grants Pass at
Roseburg (Armistice day game);
Nov. 16, Roseburg at Sweet
Home. It is possible that a post
season, Thanksgiving day con
test may be arranged.
Net Income for Farmers
In 1944 Tops 1943 Mark
The net income of U. 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. California displaced
Iowa as the No. 1 state for net
farm income, netting $862,493,000
in 1941 compared with Iowa's
