u o. PAGE TWO Farmers Urged ; Cut Pulpwood, Avoid Shortage 3 WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 -) Reports of Increasing gravity of ithf DulDwood and paper shortage rere coupled today with an ap-. ?peal by the war manpower com mission ' for "farmers to" turn to pulpwood cutting and- lumbering during the agricultural off-season. Enforced reduction of at least 18 per cent of , all paper products available for use in the first three months of 1944 was indicated by -the war production board. " The WPB'a forest, products bu reau reported that pulpwood pro duction decreased 18 per cent in the first nine months of this year as compared with a similar period In 1942. With a time lag between the cutting of wood and produc tion of paper, the bureau said, first effects of the decrease prob ably will be felt in January. , f An appeal - for greater efforts ",in the nation wide " salvage of waste paper also came from James Y. Byrnes, director of the office of war mobilization, who declared ''that munitions plants already have v Jhad to close down for lack of pa i per containers to ship their inuni . .'. tions output. Byrnes said that about 6,000,000 tons of paper a year are being sal vaged currently s while minimum requirements are 7,500,000 tons. To encourage more labor for - pulpwood cutting and other occu pations useful .to the war effort, Manpower Chairman Paul V. Mc Nutt ruled that farm workers may "transfer to such employment with out obtaining a certificate of ' availability. If a farm worker re- . mains on the new job longer than six weeks his employer should .. make a request for his services for the additional period to the - United States employment ser- , vice. Farmers and agricultural work ers within the military age lim mits, 1 to 44 years inclusive, must obtain approval from their local draft boards. The boards have been ' instructed, to approve , the off-season transfers for per i ioda up to four months. The reg . istrants will retain their draft deferred status during such- per : lods. .

Sgt Green has been assisting at the marine corps recruiting station here with another woman marine, marine recruiters Sgt. Rlngland and Sgt. Herman Deney. The two women give information about enlisting in the marines daily from 8 to 5 o'clock at the recruiting Guides'Take Service Men Through Capitol By HAROLD WAR WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-(P)-Gasoline and seats on busses and trains may be hard to get, but several hundred Americans manage to visit their national capitol daily to get a look at con gress in wartime action. Capitol guides, reduced in numbers from the-1940 peak of 24 to 10 now, think they detect an increased interest on the tour ists' faces. Most visitors wind up in one of the 20 or 30 organized trips through the historic halls each day. This is a much greater percent age than in peacetime, said one boss guide who declined with dig nity to permit use of his name. The fact that the dome, towering above the eerily-lighted rotunda, has been closed since Hitler marched into Poland in 1939, is no deterrent. The climb to the dome used to be sport for high school stu dents and the elderly guides didn't accompany them. Bat the hordes of graduating classes which descended on the capital before the war no longer ap pear each spring. The office of defense transportation sees to that In their stead are scores of uniformed service men and women, many of them from al lied forces. They don't have to pay the two bits required of civ ilians to compensate the guides. me soldiers, sailors, marines, and their feminine counterparts are "on the house, so to speak. and the guides take turns coming in Sundays to take the uniformed visitors through on three special trips. The capitol, closed Sundays with the outbreak of the European war, now is open on the Sabbath for service men only. During the week, the guides throw the visitors' quarters into a kitty which is divided evenly among the six men and four wom en who know the capitol, its arch itecture and history, backwards and forwards. The guides get no salary from Uncle Sam. But they are masters of their subject and diction. One woman guide formerly taught public speaking. They stay with it, too. One guide, James Craw ford, has been describing the paintings, stonework and goings on for congress for 30 years. Capt Harry Nash has been at it for 27 years or so. One attractive brunette guide thinks she could tell the visitors "almost anything, and it wouldn't sink in as they , trudge wearily along for 45 or 50 minutes. But at least one trip a day produces a high quota of interest, and then it's a swell job. The . visitors are frisked by gvards as they enter the build ing,: and parses are examined for weapons. Only one pistol has been found. A woman had it. A Tennessee -teorfst home operator, she carried It for self protection ' sad .explained Its : presence' la her' parse with the help of her congressman. What do visitors like most in the capitol? ' The house and senate. But they're intrigued by the accoustical phenomenon In, the huge statuary hall ' which once was the house chamber. The guide stands over a certain tile on one side of the huge hall and whispers to the cluster of vis itors . on the other side some 50 feet away. He can be heard dis tinctly. ;r---.:t;: Worn Cut?

A Whig, he complained bitterly because the democrats (then the republican party) made so much noise on the other side of the house. The guides can't explain why sound is tossed about and so mag nified at that particular point. Several experts have come up with explanations, all different. US to Foot One Half Bill For VNRRA By SIGRID ARNE ATLANTIC CITY, NJ, Nov. (P)-The United States stands 13 to foot about half the bill of recon structing the postwar world, ac cording to lobby talk here as com mittees of the United Nations re lief and rehabilitation administra tion went to work today behind closed doors. There are two leading formulas for paying the costs. One would assess the UNRRA nations which have not been in vaded one per cent of their na tional income. That could mean for the United States a bill of two billion dollars, if the levy is com puted on the war-inflated year of 1943. If the levy is computed on the last pre-war. year for us, it would mean around 900 million. This first plan, obviously, would make the United States the larg est contributor, since it has the largest per capita income. The second plan, according to Assistant Secretary of State Dean Acneson, who . is chairman of UNRRA's finance committee, wouia assess each nation for portion of its income from foreign trade, solely. This formula would mean a levy on a sum of about 900 million for the United States, u computed from 1940 income The percentage has not been set tled, and the 1943 foreign trade figure would mean little, since such trade this year has practically all lend-lease. been Donaugh Abandons Attempts to Enlist PORTLAND, Nov. 13 - () -Carl C.

The straggle daring the past week - has demonstrated con clusively that the Germans still cherish the hope of staving off real attack en Rome . for - months,' thereby nullifying any prospects the allies have of us ing Italy as a jumping off point for farther assaults against ax is-held Europe in the spring. The terrain and the weather as well as reinforcements of sever-, al divisions which the nazi com mand moved Into the line during the past week combined to give Generals Clark and Montgomery one of the toughest assignments any allied commanders have yet faceL The Germans have 11 divisions (perhaps 165,000 men) on the line now, and the Americans, slugging t out with tough enemy , veterans from the Russian front, found that the mountain strongholds around Mignano had been prepared with meticulous care. ' Machinegun, mortar and even artillery positions have been blast ed out of solid rock ledges with mines of every type planted along every avenue of approach. The advent of winter on the battlefront found this situation: 1. The allies are 40 miles past Naples but stQl are virtually dou ble that distance from Rome a month and a half after Naples was taken over two months after Mar shal Badoglio's capitulation. 2. The allies have achieved two objectives in securing a great air base system around Foggia and are compelling the Germans to throw into combat more than half of all the divisions they had in Italy when the Italians quit. 3. Foggia's airfields remain only about 75 miles from the front lines, closer than desirable for permanent bases of the four-en-gined bombers whose winter as signment is to beat axis communi cattions and industries to a pulp. 4. Rome itself is valuable pri marily from a political standpoint. From; the standpoint of ground forces operating against really vi tal and strictly military objectives. better targets are roughly 250 miles beyond the present front Florence, Leghorn, Rimini and the entry , to the great Po valley. Eight Counties Co Oyer Top in War Chest Eight counties were "over the top" in the Oregon war chest cam paign Saturday as the annual drive for funds commenced in Lane and Clatsop counties. A total of $1,050,000 of the $1,- 341,000 quota assigned to the state had been raised, but those figures included incomplete as well as complete reports, state war chest offices in Salem announced. Counties which have officially reported meeting their quotas are Sherman, Wallowa, Gilliam, Whee- er. Benton. Grant, Wasco and Baker counties.

Taxicabs are rationed, too, as to gasoline, must carry full loads whenever possible (and in Salem they are v not only possible but necessary on Saturday and Sun day nights), so while this cab waited,, four or. five other persons also interested in speeding up the war effort cooled their heels with in it and a couple dozen more waited on sidewalks somewhere. V And I suppose the man who raised such a fuss in a hotel res taurant in Salem , one night last week about a crying baby did have jangled nerves. So, too, no doubt did the young mother. She probably wasn't trav eling for fun. And her nervous con dition couldn't have been helped much by the chicken bone the child got in his throat from the drumstick the madman jammed down it. - Nazis Gain 1 - -r Hold on Leros A (Continued from Page 1) A was difficult. The island is cut by deep inlets, complicating trans portation. It is two miles across a mountain goat track from the town of Porto Lago to the point at which the Germans secured their foothold on a bay on the west coast. (The BBC said the nazis were driving for Leros, principal town of the island.) (Berlin radio said the island had been taken by the Germans. British holdings in the Aegean now consist only of the Islands of Samoa, Nlcaria and Castel rosso, the radio added. Neither the Germans nor the allies had said previously that Nlcaria. -Z miles west of Samoa, had been taken by the British daring the allied gains made in the Aegean campaign shortly after the Ital ian capitulation.) Previously the nazis retook the islands of Cos and Symi in the Dodecanese. Striving to hold their island stepping stones to Greece, British planes sharply bombed the Mar- itza airfield on German - held Rhodes by night and hit at least two vessels in an enemy convoy in daylight yesterday near Anti kythera island, midway between Crete and the Greek mainland: Antimacchia airfield on Cos was raided twice Friday night and shipping and the harbor of Suda bay on Crete were hit twice dur ing the day. Bishops Call For Unification WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 -(-The Catholic bishops of the United States, calling for a "good peace' once victory is won, declared to day it is imperative that nations of the world unite in setting up international institutions to main tain peace. But basic to the right ordering of international relations, they said, is "the recognition of the sovereignty of God and of the moral law, as treasured in the christian tradition," and they ex pressed some misgivings over pronouncements of the Moscow conference. The declarations of the Mos cow' conference do, indeed, open the way to necessary international cooperation for peace as well as for war, they said. "In this way they represent a definite step in the right direction. They do not, however, dispel the fear that com promise on the ideals of the At lantic charter are in prospect Some things these documents im ply by statement and more sig nificantly still by omission leave an uneasiness in minds intent on peace with justice to alL" j GOOD v . eyesight: ,s a TECESSU Vy . .NOT AO.

MARTIN - f : r.RANn RAPIDS. Mich- Nov. 13.-(P-Declaring both ma jor political parties have been "perilously, close to moral bank ruptcy" during recent years, Sen. George D. Aiken, Vermont re; publican, cautioned farmers tonight to be on guard against off icer seeking "opponents of progress'" at the next year's elections. ' Aiken, in a speech prepared for the 77th annual convention of the national grange, said a large per centage of farmers was elated at results of recent elections because they interpreted them as signal ing the end . of bureaucratic gov ernment. , - ; "While L too, rejoice at the spir- t which was shown in the states of I New York, New Jersey and Kentucky," he said, Yet I would temper this rejoicing with a word of caution. -..- j- The American people are in disputably swinging away from the policy of regimentation and reckless expenditures by govern ment.: It must not go too far, how ever.-" ' ' 4 " . :7i 1 "We don't want to return to the feudal ages any more than we want to adopt the policy of communism, state socialism or fascism. I see little choice be tween living under an economic dictatorship or under a political dictatorship, except that' theo retically we can always control an economic monopoly. Aiken gave this further warn ing: There are those In America who would repeal many of the rightful advantages which agri culture has achieved during the past generation. There, are those who would do away with . farm cooperatives. " There are those who would repeal the laws pro viding for farm credit at reason able rates. There are those who would gladly turn the rural elec tric lines over to corporate inter ests. There are those who would sell out American agriculture for the benefit of certain industries. There are those who believe mat every man who is poor is respon sible for his own misfortune." Aiken made a plea for greater unity among labor, agriculture and industry. "If we divide among ear selves; if we permit sericulture to hate labor and labor to hate Industry; if we Indulge In race rioting or food rioting or any other preliminary to revolution to a great enough extent, we have a right to fear that, some day, a military dictatorship will take charge of vs." The course America takes next year, Aiken said, will speu not only our future but that of the world as welL "Whether we want it or not. most Of the' nations of the. earth look to America for leadership today. We will accept that leader ship and pray that we may use it wisely. It must not carry with it, however, any pledge to support the rest of the world. We should not promise that which we cannot do. We can only help the other people to help themselves. We will not do this by scattering Ameri can resources in careless aban donment. Above alL let us prom ise ourselves that while we will assume leadership, it will be lead ership and not domination."
