More Paul Banyans
Badly needed now are Paul Bunyan and his
blue ox; needed right where they won their
fame, in the logging camps of the northwest.
Too many of his descendants have gone sissie
or city, and the job in the woods isn't being
done 200,000,000 feet short this year, so the
story goes. Wages are the highest, working con
ditions vastly improved over the days of ox
teana logging; but' still the camps do not get
enough men to maintain production.
It's a wood war as well as a steel and alum
inum war; and the less in metals there is, the
more of wood is required. . Warehouses, piers,
factories, camps, hospitals, all wanted in a hur
ry; so the call comes in for lumber. ,
Work weeks have been stretched to six days,
logging gets preference priorities, and the man
power boys! are combing the lists to find men
who will go hack to the forests for work. Worn- .
en are used as whistle-punks and choke-setters.
And still more labor is required to get out the
timber. j .-. X."..-v ",'..
It is like shipbuilding and farming and most
everything else: a matter of doing the best pos
sible with the men and materials available. But
when the call is so urgent from all fighting
fronts and from our allies the burden does rest
on Americans at home to strain themselves to -the
utmost to get out the stuff demanded in
prosecuting the war. So if you have the biceps
to bury a double-bitted- axe well into the hola
of a Douglas fir, you're out of place if you are
riddling around in non-essential industry.
Prison Man-Power'
The opportunities at the state penitentiary for
much war work are limited by man-power, the
old bogey of mills and farms. And don't think
the prison doesn't have a man-power problem
of its own; and we don't mean a hired man
problem either, though it has some of that too.
, With its inmate population down from over
1100 to 813 its working force is considerably
reduced.
Consider that it takes several hundred just
to do the prison chores: cooking, baking,' laun
dry, tailor shop, shoe shop, barber shop, garden
ing, heating, electric service, etc Then more
are required for the extensive farm and dairy
operations -the prison conducts.
For special industries it has the flax and lime
plants; and this year will cut and deliver some
5000 cords of wood for fuel for various state in
stitutions.' This will not leave many men for any
war industry, such as has been proposed.
The flax' industry is really the institution's
war work. That employs several hundred men
In the various jobs of retting, hauling, yarding,
storing, scutching j and hackling. This division
must operate at full capacity.
The prospect is for the number of inmates
to decline, especially if the new prison draft
board finds men, whom it probably will, to rec
ommend for parole to be inducted in the army.
Union labor, which has protested extension
f prison industry, need not be alarmed. All
the extra production that can be crowded in will
not amount to a great deal. Prison labor ought
to be used to the best advantage possible, for
the benefit of the men, primarily, and to pro
duce needed goods.
Still Five to Four . '.
The supreme court has changed its mind
again, so now cities "cant by imposing license
fees, stop religious sects from hawking their
literature on public streets. The high court Mon
day handed down a decision which was a re
versal of one made last-year. .The new ruling
. is a staunch defense of freedom of religion.
Once again it is a five to four derision, though
this time the majority is on the other side.' So
it is that even when the high court is packed
with hand-picked, blown-m-the-bottle new
dealers, from Black to Rutledge, it isn't any
more successful in agreeing on fundamental .
law than when presidents sought in their ap
pointments to maintain political as well as ju
dicial balance on the court.
From reports, there is more internal bickering
and antagonism than before, with Douglas and
Black lining up against Frankfurter. There
have been numerous recent decisions where
the court split five to four, and on important
.questions, too.
Years ago, the radicals used to howl like coy-.
otes over five-to-four decisions, where the "fate
of the nation seemed to hang on the opinion of
ONE man. That's the way it still hangs some
times Frankfurter hangs it, and sometimes .
Black and Douglas. But we don't hear any of
the reformers howling down the court because
of the disagreements of these apostles of the
; new deal. - ,

WASHINGTON, May 5 A substantial number
of constant readers took pens in hands and Jabbed

criticizing Mr. Wendell Winkle's fast-selling book

The amount of critical mail was as heavy as I
have ever received in protest against a column,
some saying it was the only col
umn with which they had dis
agreed in many a year.
Generally, they pointed out
Mr. Willkie advanced no wild

Playing for Keeps
In Holland and Norway the natives are play
ing for keeps when it comes to dealing with nazi
Invaders or local Quislings. The fine art of
assassination is being employed, and sabotage
on a wide and sometimes a large scale. The
latest move of the patriots has been to kidnap
the daughter of Arthur Seysz-Inquart, the nazi
high commissioner in Holland. At least she has
been missing for days and the supposition is
she has been kidnaped and is held hostage. This
may be an attempt to head off the execution
of the order to intern former Dutch soldiers in
concentration camps for fear they will aid the
allies when the invasion comes. V
The incident, and others, show the intense and
bitter hatred of the people of these once free
countries against-the nazi conqueror and their
own traitors. That hatred will flame when the
second front is opened. The Germans know and
fear it.
Cost of Jap Center
The Klamath Falls News-Herald learns,
through Congressman Stockman that it cost
$7,000,0j00 to build the Tule Lake relocation cen
ter for the Japanese. The total construction
cost for the Klamath reclamation project was
only $7,367,000. The cost of the Tule-lake tun
nel project which turned water out of the Tule
lake sump, -reclaiming good land there, and
: poured it into the worthless bed of the old low
er Klamath lake, cost only a million dollars.
And the cost of the Jap center, further says
the News-Herald is over half the assessed val
uation of Klamath Falls. - i
Well, as the Klamath Falls paper observes,
war comes high i and the operation of the camp
runs the cost on up as long as it lasts. The just
ification of the cost was as a military measure,
for the protection of this coast; and enemy
liens so disposed could have caused far more
damage than the cost of the center in vital
auras along the coast. , ;

Police Bouquet - V ;
, A lady called ur the other day and spoke in
terms of high praise for Salem's policemen. She
said she didn't know, any of the members of the
force, but they had always treated her and her
family courteously and taken ear fr 1 '
promptly and efficiently and she wanted the
public to know it She spoke about recovering
stolen bicycles, and even complimented them
on the tlzs she had gotten traffic taj.' So we
pass the bouquet alon to Chief Hinto anXliLi
Cang. - x . . i
i Incidentally the police deserve a considerable
degree cf credit for Salem's, food showing on
traffic accLfsnts recently reported. The record
was fine, znd the alert and fair enforcement
cf motor vehicle laws is partly responsible.
Pan! Mallea
should
"What
test?" my friends asked.
The basic idea; the fundamental principle it set
forth; the premise that Mr. Willkie adopted when
he wrote the book; the reason for writing it; name
ly, the conclusion that nearness makes oneness; Mr.
Willkie has deluded himself and obviously also de
luded a great number of my good readers.
Distances never have had anything to do with
unity. You may have lived next door to two neigh
bors for 20 years, barely spoken to one and have
become very close to another1 but not nearly so
attached as to a friend who lives on the other side
of town, or perhaps one In Qnada or Labrador.
Oneness is made out of something more spirit
ually substantial than distance. It comes from sim
ilarity of ideals, habits, customs, methods of living.
If a Chinese happened to live next door to you
and you did not understood his way of life, the
proximity would not in itself lead you to be friends.
But if you happened to be a fellow Chinese, or
person who knew the Chinese way of life Intimate
ly, you might become close friends and might es
tablish a basis of unity.
Nations are only groups of people in a world
neighborhood, and always have been. " We have
lived many years an equal distance from both Mex
ico and Canada. With Canada, we share a valid
bond of friendship; with Mexico, we had our trou
bles now happily adjusted.
Therefore, Mr. Willkie has erred grievously in
his primary idea. He is just plain wrong in his in
itial assumption that whereas this was many worlds
before, the plane has made it one world. It is the
same old world, and, as distances have had nothing
to do with the establishment of our international
friendships of the past, they will have nothing to
do with it in the future. - '
We like people who like us, who share our views,
hopes, and expectations, and we will always con
tinue to like such people and dislike others, regard
less of how fast a few can fly back and forth.
Mr. WiUkie's error is grievous, because if we now
base our hopes of peace on a false assumption we
will not only be disillusioned sadly, but we are
likely to have more international troubles as a di
rect result, perhaps even war. Only a thoroughly
realistic peace can be a lasting peace.
The plane, to be sure, will bring newfcommercial
and military factors into the post-war world. Some
say it may be possible for a debutant to order a'
gown straight from Paris by a mail order catalogue
for a week-end party., ,
Many people certainly will fly to England jn right
hours. A great many people will use the pisw for
passenger service instead of boats, and it is possible
commercial travel will eventually develop to an
extent not known before.
, From a military standpoint, it will also be nec
essary, for our protection, to acquire bases through
out the world from which we may intercept possi
ble attacks on us. --C ' . yr
But , these are not the things Mr. Willkie was
talking about. He spoke of political unity as a pri-
mary assumption, but the prospective use of th
plane commercially and mffltarfly does not itself
justify such an assurance. - :
These factors are just as apt to lead to rivalry"
as oneness. Certainly if rivalry is to be avoided
entirely, the world politicians wfll have to remake
humand nature, not only, here at home but chiefly
,abroad-'-t- '
What I would consider more important than
WiUkie's views is what Staim thinks about the to- "
ture use of the' plane and its-political effect And -Close
of Mr. OairchSrs one British Iknplre.
A few readers accused me of trying to 'smear -TTfflkie.
r have never smeared anyone. Smear tae- ,
tics have been so notoriously pursued In several
instances f late years that they should arouse the
- outraged indignation of every snan regardless cf
whether the smeared one is right or wrong.
- Democracy is a debate la which false ideas should
be smeared never the personal dignity Of the to

A faint blesm from the landing .

- She paused at an open door. Paul
was sitting beside his wife, hold-

gone from him, all the seem

. had never seen such tenderness
on a human countenance before.
She felt as If she had no right to
see it, for it was not meant for
her. She moved back into the

A loose board creaked beneath
her step. Paul looked up. Care- k
fully, as though it were a piece
of fragile china, he laid the

terpane, and tiptoed across the
room out into the hall. "She's

For an nistant, he seemed nav-

Ann felt as if a great compli- .

Cautiously she lowered herself
into a low dressing chair beside
a boudoir table which stood near
. the door. How luce, in essence, to
the little satin mules. There was
a silver toilet set, complete to its
most useless implement. There
was a regiment of perfume bot
tles, all empty except for one or
two, and a huddle of photographs
some framed, some slipped Into
the snirrors edge. The largest of
fheV framed noes occupied the .

an arc of agony. She screamed.
Paul hurried In, his round face
white, but his voice as brusque
as ever.,"0, fener!" .
"OJU" she gasped.
Ann .found herself In the hall.
For the first time in all her
., twenty-two years she was aware
or beffig lonely. She made her
way down Into the kitchen,
( blinking the tears from her eyes.
She was glad that the old lady
could not see her.' She said with
forced - nonchalance, ' "Well, X
think Td better be trying to get
back to my car. I might be able
to flag some help If I wait long
enough."
. The old lady shook her head.
The storm is to bad. It is get

can sleep in one of the cabins..
Paul kept a lire in it all day

Rosalinda being with you. There
is no place for her in the house

Ann's lips set Rosalinda. A
sister perhaps? Or some plump
actress friend of Carol's? She
bad a swift vision of a volum
inous lace csonlsole, and corset
strings trailing over the back of
a chair. She was about to say,
"Look here, I have to know a

Letters Trom Statesman Readers -
To the Editor:
Dear Sir:, Often your articles
describing operations on the war
front are accompanied with or
by a map. I think that is a fine,
idea and would b a greet help
to your readers if the snap was
selected with a little intelligence
which they seldom are. For ex
ample, your first page article in
today's Statesman beaded "South,
i Pacific Action Increases" men
tions ten places In locating the
scene of different engagements
with the i enemy. On the map
about thirty names of places oc- '
cur yet In reading the article I
wss able to find of the ten places .
mentioned only one on the map,
and that was New Guinea which
any school boy would have
known without the name. The
map was of absolutely no help
in locating the points of action
mentioned so why waste Ink and
space to print it and have ' the
render hunting all over the map
for names that are not there.
Thave been In the Southern
Pacific area and have seen hun-
dreds of the Islands and am al
ways pleased to find them on a
good map.
Wouldn't it be better to use
maps that really locate th
scenes of battle? or none. Re
spectfully. 1L W. Emmett

Is supplied with AP telemats de

rent dispatches coming by leas
