' , ' - In response. Director Nellie Tay loe Ross of the mint' prepared a complete- explanation of, the sit uation, which reads In part: : , -1 ""Zinc-coated steel was adopted for this tcoin. because, it was the only metal the war production board could allot for that purpose; i had already withdrawn copper by reason of war needs. Even plas tics were denied. .-?;;;:. .- sz :i "The practicability . of perforat ing the coin to eliminate confusion with other, coins has been fully considered, but rejected primarily because the, resultant reduction in the weight would rerfder it unfit for use In merchandising machines. Also, because a hole in the head of Lincoln would scarcely be . ac ceptable, to the public. The devel opment of a new design would have caused unjustifiable delay In getting coinage under way, the demand for one-cent pieces hav ing: been heavy and urgent A change in shape would present difficulty in stacking. Darkening the coin prior to its issuance would entail more practical difficulties than can be explained in a letter, sYou will, I am confident be gratified to know that the change in the composition of this minor coin meant an anneal saving of enough copper to meet the com bined needs of 2. cruisers, 2 de stroyers, 1245 Flying fortresses, 120 field guns and 120 howitzers, or enough for one and one quarter million shells for our big field guns."

'Van Winkle ruled that martial law, proclaimed to protect the public health and safety of the citizens of Oregon against inva sion or disastrous fire, would not necessarily .disturb - the . normal functioning of city or county gov ernment:: .-v- Neither would it be necessary to call out the state guard.'
