SPEAKING of Interior cities, In terior Secretary Krug reports In Portland that Henry i. Kaiser wants to Increase the capacity of his Spokane aluminum reduction plant. (He wants to add two "potllnes" to the four already there.) Krug adds: "It is up to the Bonneville administration to de cide whether It wants to devote that much of its power to the production of aluminum." . SPOKANE is (in interior city like Rosebuig. A dozen years ago, no industrialist would have thought of locating a huge heavy industry there some port city would have been chosen. For that matter, no one' a doz en years ago would have thought of aluminum as a material for general use. Now we're hearing every day of some now use for plumlnum. They're even building houses of It. This is a changing world, and Ihc big rewards will go to those K'hose minds are capable of Bdoptatlon to change. Those who can't get out of old ruts will pass out of the picture. SPEAKING of change, the presi dent of the American Insti tute of Accountants, In an ad dress in Portland, proposes that Industry make a financial ac counting, showing results of busi ness operations, to employees. Labor, he adds, should have In formation which it feels It needs In order to carry on properly Its negotiations with management. Such a practice, ho says, would be similar to companies arivitlng the investing public of their fin ancial condition. THE type of business man whose mind is Incapable of adapta tion to change will court apop lexy when he hears of this pro posal. Still, It ISN'T unreasonable. Whatever progress we make to ward better things in this country will come about as a result of CO-OPERATION between Indus try and lalior. If Industry and labor can do nothing but fight, tho future will be dark Indeed. "WITCHING from the domestic an 'authoritative source" in New York (who might be Haruch himself; you never can tell about these "sources" who don't want to be quoted by name) suggests thnt the United Slates Is willing to trade Its atom bomb for a WORLD GOVERNMENT (or a security system, to use a less ter rifying term) that can and will keep the peace. IT wouldn't be a bad trade, at bomb a secret which we alone possess. Soon or late, others will get it. Scientific research can't be Wfalled In by International bor ders. . VEN world government (which holy water) would be cheap at the price it It brought peace. WITHOUT PEACE (with atomic warfare hanging over us like the sword of Damocles) there can be no real prosperity, no real happi ness, no real progress in the fore seeable future. WITH PEACE-iif accompanied by some measure of understand ing and Vvillingness to live and let live-the horizons of eppor- By CHARLES V. STANTON Well, this is Rodeo Week and here we are all decked out in what is-supposed to resemble "western" attire. We feel about as conspicuous and out of place as a dolled-up Christ inas tree on the Fourth of July. If 01 Deadeye could see us now he'd be fanning- his six-gun and cussing out any hombre who'd appear in public in such a get-up. We can't say that a brilliant red shirt, trimmed in blue and with yards of silver braid, plus a synthetic sombrero I that would fold around our ears like. an alpaca shawl if we permitted it to get wet, is particularly suited to our style of beauty, or lack thereof, but at least it draws plenty of laughs Now, on the other hand, the gals around our office, with their fancy shirts, jeans, fiesta hats and bright scarves make this dingy old dump look like a dude ranch, and we'd swell our chest in pride, just lookin' at them, if it wasn't for bustin' -the buttons off this shirt we're wearin'. But we're learning things. No sooner had we appeared in this 10-gallon hat than we got bawled out for not having it "creased proper." In our ignorance, we didn't know there's a lot of rigamarole connected with a sombrero. For instance, guys who come from Texas put in a crease and a couple of dents; a Californian wears his hat flat on top, Mexican style, or with a full crease, and a waddie from Montana or Wyo ming pinches his hat up to a full peak. Or maybe we've got the whole thing backwards. But at least that's the idea.' The only thing we can figure about our own hat is that we must belong to the United Nations. It's most gratifying to observe the way in which Roseburg residents have entered into the pre-rodeo festivities. A great deal of ingenuity has been shown in combatting shortages of western clothing. Adaptions and inventions are much in evidence to indicate the interest and enthusiasm with which the public has joined the celebration. Roseburg's annual rodeo, under sponsorship of the Sher iff's Posse, is only one year old, yet already it shows promise of being Southern Oregon's biggest show. The same enthu siasm and energy which has been given its development to date will, if continued, produce in future years an event out standing in the state lis a whole and second, perhaps, only to Pendleton's great round-up. The Sheriff's Posse has endeavored to provide much of interest, in addition to the big arena shows Saturday and Sunday. Free. street dancing, Friday, a street parade Satur day morning and a dance at the Armory Saturday night, sponsored by the police reserves, are among scheduled activities. JPjJ Judge Fred Wright of Rcedsport will hold court Friday evening at Jackson and Oak streets to hand out pioneer jus tice to those who fail to measure up to posse costuming standards. Court revenue will be used to defray cost of the newpence around tho rodeo grounds, built to protect .the property from vandals, who caused hundred of dollars worth of damage during tho past few months. As for the performances Saturday and Sunday, rodeo faiisl may be assured of the very best. In addition to professional performers, spectators will see local and visiting mounted groups and numerous feature acts well worth the cost of admission. So, here's to more and better rodeos, with the hope that our synthetic sombrero doesn't get wet!

Wyatt told reporters the extent of the progress would be reriect ed In a report he hopes to have ready soon, by the end of the month at the latest.

Jobless Claim Ratio in Oregon Recently Halved Oregon had the highest rate of unemployment in the nation last February, but the ratio of tnbless claimants to covered workers has been jcut squarely in two in the last iew monins. A table published In the Snri.il Security bulletin, just received by i ne .-jiaie unemployment com pensation Commission, shows Ore gon at the top with a rate of 12.9 per cent against a national aver age of 7.3 for the week ending February 9. By the last week of March this state's rate had drop- pea 10 ii.o, same as California and just behind Arkansas and Oklahoma. Latest available Social Security Board figures show the national unemployment rate down to 6.4. while Oregon's rate has dropped iv u.o, ciuuuiuiiig io ine commis sion's statistical division. Initial and continued claims last week totaled 19,925 against 313,737 coverca worKers last year.

Claims for vet erans readjustment allowances and self -employment benefits were not included. Former shipyard and aircraft workers continued to account for more than two-thirds of all claims, the commission an nounced, pointing out that more than 80 per cent of 5.1H8 out-of-state claimants were from this group.

Yoshiko Matsuda claims the high office in the underworld by right of succession. An ex-member of her husband's mob rubbed him out recently and made her a widow The defunct husband, Giichi Matsuda, was the boss of Tokyo's underworld up until the time he announced that henceforth the black market would be "legiti mate, ethical and business-like." Those who didn't want to live under his new ukase- of honor among thieves could go back to honest toil, he said in effect. One, however, forthrightly de cided that bumping off the king of the black market could be counted as an honest day's toil. The killing caused great con sternation in Matsuda's umbrage ous empire, wnose main place or business is rieht out in front of Shimbashi railway station in downtown Tokyo. widow will Carry On Oriental aplomb was quickly restored, however, among Tokyo's estimated 5,000 black marketeers who had banded topether as an association under the benign pa tronage of Matsuda. They voted to make Mrs. Mat suda the new ruler of the asso ciation, and she accepted with alacrity. In an interview in the room where the last rites were per formed for her husband, Mrs. Matsuda flanked by flowers and funeral wreaths declared: "I will try to do what my husband failed to do." Eventually, she said, the black market could go legitimate, buy ing and selling at equitable prices. Meanwhile, Mrs. Matsuda add ed with confidence, she would handle both her "association" members and rival racketeers, even if she was the first female ruler Tokyo s tenderloin ever had . Meanwhile, also, the 5,000 members will keep right on pay ing her a total of 1,500 yen ($100) daily for rental, cleaning and protection that is to say, "vigi lance" service.
