In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
EVEN this early In the Truman
era of good feeling, there are
slorm warnings. A Washington
dispatch Bays:
"Democrats seeking an answer
to high prices assured business to
day there will not be 'another
wartime OPA.'"
That raises an Interesting ques
tion: How are you going to control
without controls?
THE President's Idea is obvi
ously a gun behind the door.
He doesn't want to USE the gun
unless he has to. He hopes that
Its mere presence, all loaded and
oiled up and ready to shoot, will
'iltiiL enough to deter wicked per
sons from raising prices higher
than they ought to be raised.
But If word goes out that THE
GUN ISN'T LOADED, what will
happen?
SUPPOSE you were planning a
raid on somebody.
If you knew he had a good
straight-shooting shotgun, loaded
with buckshot, carefully Inspected
and all ready to go, you'd be In
clined to hesitate and weigh the
consequences.
But if you got a straight tip that
the gun wasn't loaded you might
conclude that the chance was
worth taking. You'd probably fig
ure that if he didn't load the gun
he was just bluffing anyway.
A gun behind the door Is use

are pretty sure they'll gpt shot at

THEY SAVED HIROHITO
U. S. Joint Staff Chiefs
Ordered Emperor Not To
Be Prosecutedi Revealed
TOKYO, Jan. 13. UP) Emperor Hirohito escaped prosecution
as a war criminal on orders of the United States Joint chiefs of
staff.
Copies of the order are available here. The order, a part of the
directive to Gen. Douglas MacArthur to set up the International
Tribunal, which convicted Hideki Tojo and 24 other Japanese war
leaders, was issued in January, 1946.
At first it was classed as top
secret. Later it was graded down
to allow defense attorneys for the
25 class AAA Japanese war crim
inals to use it in their appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Specifically it prohibited prose

Umpqua Forest
Timber Sales In
1948 Increase
Timber sales on the Umpqua
National Forest exceeded a mil
lion dollars during 1948.
A report prepared by Super
visor M. M. Nelson reveals that
timber sales under new contracts
signed last year totaled 104,131,
000 board feet valued at $1,
776,480. Timber cutting, under contracts
signed both during 1947 and 1948,
reached a volume of 150,553,000
board feet, valued at $1,260,930
at an average of $8.38 per thou
sand, Nelson said.
The amount of timber cut dur
ing 1948 was about double that
cut in 1947, while the value was
three times greater.
Although the production of
sawlogs has greatly increased in
recent years. Nelson points out
that production from the Ump
qua Forest is at present only
about one-half of what Is grown
each year. Full production is
held back primarily because of
lack of roads to remove timber
from the "back country."
Because the cut is not up to
what is actually grown, Nelson
estimates, the government Is
"losing" nearly a million dollars
each year in revenue. The coun
ty is also the loser he said, since
the counties receive 25 per cent
of national forest take for tim
ber.
For example, the counties will
receive more than $300,000 as
their share of the 1948 Umpqua
National Forest timber receipts.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Jan.

twin slayings appeared solved
beyond question today, but tile

was a deeper mystery man
ever.
Joseph Donnelly, 69, a small

Police learned Donnelly's rea

it started, and went on for
pages. It was a confiding recital
of an eight-year grudge against
the Post Office Department that
fed an apparent ignorance, mis
understanding and a brooding
fear of persecution.
But the letter threw no light
on the similar killing of Attorney
Earl Pruet, 16 hours before and
three blocks away in the 32
story First National Building.
No motive, and few clues, are
known to police in the case.
In his long letter to the Presl
dent, Donnelly told of two $20
money orders sent to him by
relatives that were stolen and
forged in 1940.
He was asked to sign affi

thought they were documents
that would make him a suspect
