Wood Suga
It was one of the jokes that killed vaudeville.
Fields professed belief in miracles, Weber dis
believed. Asked to give an example of one he
had seen- Fields said two men named Wood and
Stone were standing on the sidewalk when a
pretty girl walked by. Thereupon:
"Wood turned to itone, &wne lumevi
Wood, and both turned to rubber." '
Today, Weber would have the short end of the
argument.! Miracles are becoming common
place, and among, them is to be found at least
half of the miracle Fields described. To the best
of our knowledge stone isn't being converted
Jlnto rubber, but wood is.
Pretty girls probably will have something
to do with it, in view of the manpower, situa
tion, but it isn't quite so simple as the vaudeville
version. Wood waste, of which there are vast
quantities, since less than half of the tree be
comes lumber, is turned into "wood sugar" by
the Schpller process, developed by a young
German of that name. From a ton of dry saw
' dust half a ton of sugar is obtained. The sugar
may either be converted into 500 pounds of high
protein content feed, or into 50 to 60 gallons
of alcohol; not the long-known "wood alcohol"
but the kind that is made from blackstrap mo
lasses and grain. Also there is a residue of 500
to 600 pounds of lignin, utilization of which al
so is contemplated.
With the Scholler process, Germany is solv
ing some of the shortages which "might other
wise force her collapse. But the process, accord
ing to Pathfinder magazine, brought to America
by a war refugee, Erwin M. Schaefer who head
ed the company which developed it to large scale
production, has been further improved by the
US forest service forest products laboratory
at Madison, Wis., and advanced through the
pilot plant stage at Marquette, Mich. This is
the process which Congressman Harris Ells
worth was ballyhooing last summer. How much
credit he is entitled to receive we are not cer
tain; at any rate plans are going ahead for
construction of an industrial-scale plant in the
Eugene area by the Willamette Valley Wood
Distillation company. Other communities in
Oregon are interested.
From alcohol to rubber requires two more
steps but as was remarked in this column the
other day, alcohol is proving the more satis
factory base for butadiene, and the only fly in
the ointment is a shortage of alcohol. Right
there is where the alcohol from wood sugar
-Alcohol Rubber - Fat Salvage Object: Lesson
"We're doing all we cn" is a frequent answer
to appeals for support pi the various voluntary
programs which will seed the day of Victory.
That it isn't the true and correct answer f on all
who offer it, probably heeds no proof. Proof is
offered however in the Recent experience of the
fat salvage program.
Last December 13 fat Salvage went on a new
basis. Instead of appealing for waste kitchen
fats purely on win-thV-war voluntary basis,
meat ration points werf offered to those turn
ing in this vitally needed commodity.
Meanwhile the fat salvage committee made
arrangements for the I compiling of accurate
cross-section statistics On the results. The first
week after the points-for-fats program be
.... ... i j i .
came eriective, collections were 93 per cent
above normal. There was a fairly steady rise (af
ter that; in the fifth week collections were Si 38
per cent above normal.! Then they dropped off
slightly. Possibly the people who had been col
lecting fats had enough', points and ; were los
ing their zeal; time will; tell.
Though the results have been highly grati
fying to date, waste fat collections are still snort
of the desired quantity! and the committee pas
figures which indicate I that only 69 per cent
of all housewives are collecting household fats
in any amount, and only! one-sixth are collecting
all they might. The sharp increase, meanwhale,
proves that response is argeiy a matter of in
centive, and apparently he thrill of being able
to help toward victory Isn't enough, i
Perhaps that isn't altogether fair. Perhaps
the thing lacking is realization of the program's
importance and practicality
That too may explairijwhy, according to En
forcement officers, the i great majority of mo
torists consistently violate the 35-mile-an-hiur
wartime speed limit. Tjey can't all! be unpa
triotic; they just don't fee the connection be
tween compliance and ar-wmning.

Interpreting
Thej War News
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Copyright 1944 by the Associated Press
The northern as well as the eastern bastions of
the roofless fortress Europe are beginning to crum
ble, opening Germany itself to a four-way allied
Russian air attack as a prelude to Anglo-American
Invasion from the west.
Once Finland gets out of the war and her ca
pitulation may be only a matter of days, perhaps
hours nazi evacuation of northern Norway seem
ingly must follow. German access to Swedish iron
ores vital to her war economy would be threatened.
Norwegian sources in London indicate the Hitler
ite retreat already has started in expectation of
Finnish surrender on Russian terms.
Use of Finnish air and sea bases and transporta
tion systems by Russia and her allies to press the
war on Germany is the core of reported Moscow
peace terms to Finland. That means Russian domi
nation of the upper Baltic by sea and -air, and po
tential Anglo-American bases in northern Norway
to keep open the Arctic lend-lease routes of Rus
sia. It must mean; too, concerted allied-Russian
pressure on neutral Sweden to shut off all war goods
traffic with Germany. "' 1 " l
There is little doubt that Sweden would openly
link her fortunes with the anti-axis powers even
now but for dread of German vengeance. But with
Russian sea and air power ojerating from Finland
and allied air bases in: Norway possible, the hour
of complete rupture of nazl-Swedish relations may
be near. "; ; . . ri;
That is only a part of the potential price the nazis
have already paid for crushing defeats in 'Russia.
There are Intimations from London that a new ele
ment of the attack strategy drawn up at Teheran
may be taking shape an aerial blitz from the east
to intensify the terror that rides German skies by .
night and day. : 1 4 . - i . . :
Russian lines "along the northern and north -central
sectors of the eastern battle front are now
as close to Berlin as Anglo-American air bases in
Britain. London observers report Russian air ex
perts have been making an, intensive study of Am
erican and British long range bombing technique in
preparation for a Russian shift from tactical .to stra
tegic; bombardment;',- -.. iU i
Russian four-engine ships capable of hurtling
two-ton bomb loads against targets 2500 miles dis
tant are said to be in readiness. That would mean
a three-way' or even a four-way air attack on Ger
many. .y-ii-t'l'Ur-: f' v-'l-v - : ; ,
Week by week the British-American ah-' attack
from Britain is gaining in power and scope both
over Germany and over the nazi boasted , Atlan
tic wayy defenses across the channel and the North .
sea. That it is to be matched from the south, once
the battle for Rome has passed its approaching
crisis, has been authoritatively disclosed. T
. If Russia does turn to strategic bombing., how
ever, it is a fair guess that Rumanian oil installa
tion targets would be among first prime Russian
targets. Russian spearheads- in southeastern Poland
are now within 400 miles or less of Ploesti, and
even closer to the main Rumanian oilfields on the -flank
of the Carpathian mountains. .

OREGON NEEDS A STA
RETIREMENT PLAN
The total inability of Oregon to provide any fin
ancial assuagement whatsoever for the widow and
family of a highly valuable servant such as jthe
late Dr. Donald Erb, president of the University
of Oregon, serves well lq( illustrate the ineqdity
which now prevails between the families of men
who die in Industry an$ those on the payroll of
the state or any of its subdivisions. The state makes
no provision whatever for Neither the sudden death
of its employes or for their retirement at a meri
torious age. Under law, it must cease to pay them
the day of their death.
While various attemptsimave been made to wrk
out a retirement system! n higher education, all
have met an asserted legip barrier which fort ids
payments of widow's benefits, or retirement jay,
whether or not it comesfrom matched funds A
legislative committee is now working on the prob
lem of general employes df the state; the need is
urgent and the matter should be given attention
and definitive action by tluf next legislative session.
In all industrial pursuits wage earners and execu
tives are by force of federal statute compelled to
provide for annuities at 1 6,5. With this social Se
curity provision go mod but extremely helpful
payments tp the widow wUh children who are unHer
18 and to the children themselves while they kre
less than that age. Afteivthe children are grown
and when the widow is 6$ 'years of age, a monthly
annuity for life is resumed-
Quasi-retirement payments are now made in ma
ny state and county positions by keeping on the
payroll inept persons, mohM on half-time and.hilf-
pay. Neither the pensioner inor the recipient of the
services he offers Is welfl rewarded. Instead th
state and its subdivisions : -.should provide a com
parable retirement setup Jt that in private indus
try; if it does not do so soon it will be in increas
ingly poor . position to cnmand the services of
able, competent, thrifty nMn and wmen who wash
to make provision for emergency and for retire
ment. Increasingly heavj taxes on income, Idi
minishing return on souhd investment, . all make
the task of accumulating ladequate capital, the Re
turn on which will provide? for old age, exceedl ig
ly difficult, particularly fon salaries paid a pub

FUTURE Or CAMP ADAIR '
Disturbed over the fufcire of Camp Adair, P. O.
Urban, publisher of the Benton County Herild,
"has presented a plan undfr' which the camp would
be transformed into a soldiers home, relocation
center and permanent hospital. Camp Phillips s at
Albany, of the United Spahish War Veterans, has
approved the I project and is asking the Oregon
department of the USWVf ib take it up as a cadse. -Oregon
has had no soldiers home since the hps
pital at Roseburg was turned over to the federal
government and became a psychopathic facility .j
Probably the people the Corvallis-Albany-Monmouth
area are too neryous concerning the hn
mediate future of Camp Adair.' The winning of the
Pacific war Is in the future, and we cannot con
ceive of the army failing (a) make use of that camp
so long as forces are beiiigf gathered on this coast
and shipped abroad. Along with some! of the camps
in California and around Puget sound, ' it ' should
be among the - last to be emptied. So far as thi is
concerned, Adair or Whiteone or the other
should have a good chance tor a permanent peace
time status. It would be stupid again to leave a vast
open space between Puget ; sound and San Fran
cisco bay. . : i . . : J , ;f vi :'-'-' :
But it is an interesting' proposal which Mr. Vr
ban is pushing the proposal that the Adair site
be. divided into acreages foe the use. of rehabilitate
ed soldiers. It does call attention to the fact that
Oregon has no soldiers' home, and that Adair could
provide one if Adair does ! not become scheduled
for abandonment If we fait to do planning and de
manding in these respecti other states will be
ahead of us. The Oregoaian. " " . , I
