Juno 1-8-15-22 Cutbacks in War Production Fail to Affect Seattle SEATTLE, June 1 (UPF While other Pacific coast citicB wnrrv about ' Droductlon ' shifts and cutbacks, Seattle has rolled out the welcome mat for more than 20,000 urgently-needed War workers. Seattle's chips already were down on the two mainstays of the Pacific war program B-20 production and ship repair. So cutbacks haven t toucnea ousy plants around Puget Sound. Labor shortages, not unemploy ment, is the problem he're today. . Workers Await Housing The turnover rate hasn't in creased since V-E day. But em ployers are scratching harder 'to find replacements. Help wanted signs still appear in factory and store windows. Thousands of new war housing units are un der construction, and the wait ing last is eight weeks' long at the old ones. War plant officials believe a large percentage of unemployed California and Oregon workers can be absorbed in the ScattK'-Tacoma-Bremerton area. Of the 20,000 needed workers, 12,507 arc wanted for ship repair and con struction, and the quota may boom to 18,000. The remainder represents needs in aircraft in dustries, army-riavy installations and essential civilian businesses. Ship repair yards have calls out for 9,146 laborers. More than 0,000 are needed at the Bremer ton navy yard alone, where 30, 000 workers already are em ployed. Seattle shipbuilders Weren't hit by cuts on new tonnage. Es cort carriors and destroyers are built in this area, both top-prior-ilied for the Pacific war.

Miss Emma Holm, supervisor at The Dalels school of nursing, presided, and Dr. Roben J. Maas ke, president of Eastern Oregon college, extended the welcome to the assembly. : A symposium discussion on "The Next Ten Years in Health and Hospital Services in Eastern Oregon" . was participated in by Dr. Elizabeth Bishop, medical di rector and part time county health officer of Union county, Mrs. T. B. Lumsden, president La Grande chapter Red Cross, and Sister Mary Melchoir, super intendent of St. Joseph's hospital. A report of the committee oh 'Procedure Btook Construction" was presented by Sister Mary Alexis, chairman.

"If the Japanese insist on continuing a-ealstanc . beyond the point of reason." he told congress, "their country will suffer the same destruction as Germany., "Our blowB will destroy their whole modern industrial . plant and organization! ' which they have built up during the past century and which they are now devoting to. a hopeless cause. "We have no desire or inten tion to destroy or enslave the Japanese people. But only sur render can prevent the kind of ruin which they have seen come to Germany as a result of con tinued, useless resistance." Face Great Jap Army While describing this nation as "now at the peak of its military strength," the president sobered any optimism which might be attached to his report by an nouncing "we have not yet come up against the main strength" of Japanese military force of 4,000, 000 troops under arms arid, sever al million additional men of mili tary age who have not yot been called to the colors. He; estimated the current strength of the Japanese ai force at over 3,000 combat planes. Monthly production is 1,250 to 1,500, despite widespread damage in Superfortress raids. He called for the "patriotic workers of the nation" to aid the navy in repairing vessels which the concentrated air effort of the are being damaged daily under enemy. Ship repair workers are needed now in ever-Increasing numbers. Face Heavier Losses Mr. Truman warned that as American forces approached Japan they face heavier losses from cn-smy airpower despite losses inflicted on the Japanese air forces. While the Japanese airpower has been reduced, he explained, the area In which the enemy is operating has been compressed until the "density" of the enemy air power was now four or five limes as great as when the Jap anese were spread over Vast reaches of the Pacific. The president said thet dam age to American ships nnd loss of men had been increasing and that: "In the future, we shall have lo expect more damage rather than less." Automotive War Production The automotive industries 1000 plants spread from coast to coast have poured out approximately $24 billion of war materials. These included aircraft products, guns, ammunition, tanks, mili tary vehicles, and scores of smal ler, more specialized materials. Itching, Earning, Perspiring Fcot O0 t 4rMft tHy an!

Judge Who Freed "Terrorist" Draws Blast From Ickes , WASHINGTON, June i (UP) Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes said Justice of the Peace L. B, Crosby of Parller, Calif., is a "disgrace to the bench" be cause of Ws conduct of a ' case, involving a terror attack against a Japanese-American family. "If California has any law un der which it can reach out and demote that justice of the peace they oughn't to lose any time," Ickes said. Crosby gave a six-month sus pended sentence to Levi Multan en, 33, who was charged with us ing a gun "In a rude and threat ening manner" after four shots were fired into the home of Charles Iwasaki at Parlier. "I'll say it was damned rude," Ickes said. Ickes said Crosby had implied that the war relocation authority was at fault for returning Japanese-Americans to their homo?. But WRA, Ickes sold, wiis only attempting to get tho evacuees back to a normal life. "Certain parts of California instead of having law and order as their ideal have law pnd dis order," Ickes said. "It's terrible." His statement followed dis closure that the justice depart ment has examined records of 10 sliding attacks on Japanese Americans in California in an effort to determine whether the federal government has jurisdiction.

Fiey of the metal trades: department (AFL) " today blamed the navy depart ment's industrial policy for the labor shortage In west coast ship yards. Seh:"Wayne Morse, R., Ore., made, a -similar charge yes terday in assailing a navy state ment 88yihworkers are leav ing these yards in alarming num- .v bers and that 15,000 recruits are - needed for skilled repair jobs. Frey said that "if the navy de partment's industrial policy was -as . . . effective as the handling of our fighting ships, the present shortage might not exist." Frey said tho navy policy since 1862 has been to pay the same wage rate as that paid by priv ate mangement for similar work but that it 'had refused to do this for repair work. He said repair workers in private yards receive " $1.34 cents per hour but in navy yards the rate is $1.26 an hour. Frey said the navy has declin-" ed to permit ship repair compan-.. ics in Los Angeles and San Di-" ego to pay the ship-repair rate to their employes. " Frey's department has ap- ' pealed to the war labor board from a decision by the WiLB ship building commission which end-,, ed the 11.0 per cent differential for the southern California yards.,.
