Farm Labor Feara r- As reported in The Statesman of Tuesday it is the desire of the vztension service to have the employment service operate as in previous years for the recruitment and placement of farm labor. The two' agencies have cooperated splendidly in tije past, and are doing so now and hope to continue working together to do the job that is needed for Oregon agriculture. But the danger to the Oregon, farm labor program is not in Oregon but in Washington, DC. With Manpower-chief McNutt assigning responsibility for farm labor to the department qf agriculture, and the secretary of agriculture assigning it to the extension service, and with congress in the process now of appropriating money to the extension service for doing this job, at the same time cutting down the ap propriations for the employment service, it is clear, that with the best intentions in the world the employment service here will not be able to perform as it has in the past. As a result we would have the experienced employ ment service left high and dry on the hilltop of good intentions, and the inexperienced and already burdened extension service flush with money but without the organization to do the job. The s battle to preserve Oregon's plan for farm labor placement must be carried to Wash ington. The Portland dailies have joined ef fectively in demands that the controls here be not disturbed. Farm organizations, the .state advisory committee should get busy with Oregon's delegation in congress to see that the employment service in this state at least gets money enough to handle farm labor as it has In the past. And without waiting for Washington it would seem vital for communities to organize them selves, under the leadership of the employment and extension services to meet their own local needs. That seems a necessity even if Wash ington does authorize the employment service to continue in this field.- A beginning has been made with youth groups; but so far nothing has been done through block leaders and com munity leaders to prepare muster rolls of work ers for farms and canneries. Oregon is an important state in agriculture, with its specialized crops. We do not want it to be said of our farm labor this critical war year, that it was "too little and too late." Paul Draper Salem's committee on its community concert series has picked Paul Draper, dance artist, as one of its numbers for next winter. Draper is now appearing on Ed Wynn's program at the Curran theatre in San Francisco. The following interesting item regarding Draper is clipped from Robert O'Brien's column in the San Fran cisco Chronicle: THE RETORT RIGHTEOUS: The dancer, Paul Draper, customarily calls for tune sug gestions from the audience during1 his appear ance in Ed Wynn's "Big Time." Then the or chestra plays the suggested tune and Draper improvises a dance around it. The show had progressed to this point one night last week and he had already executed several dances based on numbers volunteered by the audi ence. During a pause, while Draper was wait . Ing for another offering from the packed house, a sacrilegious wag shouted, "Stand Up for Jesus!" , Draper silenced a rising titter from the audi- ence with a sharp gesture. "I hope," he said quietly, "that all my dancing, and all my art, i has always stood up for Him." Rather embar i rassed, rather ashamed of itself, the audience remained respectfully still, until some one re covered sufficiently to suggest a more proper and appropriate title. "Right Face!" The Oregon Emerald, university student daily, says: "Reserves, as we know them, prob ably will be a thing of the past by early sum mer." And the Barometer, state college daily, reports that 109 ROTC seniors have been called up and 120 juniors will be called next week. The war, in other words, ia writing "finis" on college education for men. Some of them will be back, in uniform, but it will be army or navy first, education very much second. The college men are ready for the change. Many have felt uncomfortable to be in civvies with so , many of their own age in uniform. 'And most of them have been signed up as re servists, knowing their turn would come very soon. . - ' v ,:'-rt- ' College campuses will be different though; in fact they already are, subdued, serious; but taking it all, men and women both, with i the confidence of youth, a confidence strengthened, by a sense of the justice of our cause and by a determination to help weld out of the fires of war, a better world . - "Fat's in the Fire" It's an old saying, "the fat's in' the fire." "Even more true it is that the fat goes down the drain,' clogging traps as the grease ac- . cumulates. V". 'txvi M ; . Where the waste grease ought , to go is In - the can for salvage. A renewed effort is being made to increase the collections of waste fats. ..The goal for the country is 200 million pounds : a year.: The present collection is running at only 97 million pounds. The lack' is because there are millions of women who ; still: are si pouring their 5 waste grease down the drain pipe. yv-y-, . - . y ' - ... C '. ' :. It's a simple trick to empty the fry-pan into a clean container and then take it to the meat market where it will be purchased and turned , over to the authorized rendering works. From the grease, comes glycerine, ? an - essential ; in munitions making -ever hear of nitro-gly-cerine? iSo we reenf orce- the campaign of the national committee to salvage waste fats 'with .this appeal lor maximum cooperation of all the housewives within the sound of our editorial voice. . .. - . , . . Safety First for Farmers I j The Farm Credit Journal published by the farm credit banks at Spokane, lays out this war time financial program for farmers: j "When Sthe crop is sold or annual income established: i "1. Pay all current debts. "2. Pay! all property taxes, i "3. If there is a mortgage, pay the interest and principal installments now due, and consult with the mortgage holder about placing this debt on a safe basis. j "4.1 Provide for current living expenses. "5.1 Set aside funds for income tax pay ments. ; "6. Save the balance by investing it in war savings bonds. I "7.; Finance next year's operations with short-term loans as in the past. The year's interest on war savings bonds will in most cases! moire than offset the interest for a shorter period' on borrowed money." j That ! is a sensible program; and thousands of farmers! wish they had adhered to such a conservative policy during and just after World war I. Then high prices stimulated speculation: Farmers ran up the prices of land by buying out their neighbors, often on contract with m small payment down. Others thought they were big business men and gave notes for oil stock, mining stock, tire company stock. It was the heyday of the promoter and stock sales man who traded his worthless wares for liberty bonds, farmer notes, etc. The temper now is more conservative. Farm ers are! not buying their neighbors' farms be cause they have j a hard enough time running their own. j Stock promotions are harnessed by the blue sky laws. But a man with money in the bank is apt to have a blind spot, and the sharper will trick him with the Spanish estate fake, or the "inside dope" on Miami horse races. There is one safe rule now, for farmer and merchant and that is to buy war bonds, and stow them! away in safety boxes and hold onto them. I ! News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON I - l Dtrtri button by King Features Syndicate, tner Repro duction in whole or in part strictly prohibited.) WASHINGTON, March 24 The radio commen tators have been playing up the encouraging dis patches frpm the front with an optimism which is not shared by officials here for the long! range view. The official viewpoint has changed in the past few weeks. Churchill's statement that 'the war may extend to the. next year or the year beyond is widely shared all down through the administration, even by Un dersecretary of War Patterson. He banged his fist around the i T Vj table in talking with the sen .XJtrCy ate military affairs committee, picturing me situation as tougher than most people real ize. He did not give the rea sons, and the cause of his ap pearance was support of the Austin-Wadsworth compulsory labor draft bill. But he is not alone i here in his anti-optimistic viewpoint.! Nor can the administration's feeling on the subject be attributed only to a desire to awaken the country to a sterner realization of the facts of war. j . Sir Anthony Eden verified the same British view point in private here as Churchill publicly pro claimed and more strikingly. j The reasons are not; apparent in general news, but everything in war takes from two to four times as long toj 'accomplish as it does in ordinary busi ness and j usually twice as long as expected. The vastness of the enterprise 'is incomprehensible to any one man. j The slowdown on the Russian front may have something to do with it, and the German I tem porary . success against our right flank in North Africa did us no good.' j MacArthur also is finding the going slow through the jungles. j Hitler's I ability to muster a good reserve iof 300, 000 for the Kharkov counter-attack, and the fact that mud saved "him in the south, are factors. Production is slightly under goals. But none of the yet published figures are sufficient to be a dominant; cause. j The fundamental truth always to be remembered j by any news reader is that neither Churchill, Eden, i Patterson nor any military man, says what he I reouy uunu aoout sucn a deep military secret, j Indeed, they often use such tactics to deceive the 1 enemy; into a false sense of security. j j All of their statements together do not preclude j the possibility that a second front might be opened up successfully tomorrow or any other time. No one's opinion regarding the duration jot wars has been worth anything in history. All agreed ; at the outset of the Civil war, both north and south, ! that it Would not last more than 60 days, and it ! lased four years. . J.' ; t : Certainly no citizen should take any bf these i views,;or bis own, as a model for making his future ! living arrangements or his victory garden. Noth " ing can be taken for granted in war. j i The s4m anti-optimism applies to the situation ! confronting the motorists. A bulletin is understood ! to have jbeen sent td local rationing boards from : headquarters here suggesting that the A-5 coupons j will not only be continued to July 21, but the A-6 ' will be extended through the rest of the summer i Into November, which means a further drastic cur- tailment) in the basic gasoline allowance, j ; l ; - Official figures oh gas. supplies are secret, but . estimates have been made that production supply ; at the end of this year will be increased by pipe ! lines and transportation facilities. The report of the president's advisory committee on manf power Baruch; Byrnes, Hopkins, Leahy, and Rosenman is understood to be politely but devastating critical of the efforts of Manpower Paul McNutt and Food Administrator Wkkard. For ; this reason, and others, the report may not be made I public! Worst shortage the committee found was - in farm labor. . r , j. ...

Kiska, according to one school, represents a serious liability to the Japanese war machine. The garrison Is maintained in a limited 1 fashion only at great ' cost. It is supposed to be a sub-. marine base, but American sub . marines have had far better hunting a m o n g the- shipping which supplies the garrison than have the- Japanese U-boats. . American " planes have- greatly ' increased the toll of ships, sup plies and personnel ' ; ' - :- ' - Some military experts believe - that Kiska Is no longer a. serious menace to ' our other Aleutian or Alaskan territories , since ' we established a strong base in the v Andreanof Islands some 250 miles to the east. - ; The reason for Japan's deter mination to maintain its toehold Is something of a mystery un- , less we accept the "face" theory, .which, the Japanese being what " they are, is entirely tenable. It . means much to the high com mand to be able to remind its people that jheir forces I hold ' territory bekmging to the proud American republic. - r :rjoT o KLZM tKicvtn , uso.
