From Board To
Engineer's Post
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. UP)
Approval by President Roosevelt of
long list of atate engineers tonight
placed the public works administra
tion in a position to deal immediately
with applications for funds for non
federal projects in all parts of the
country. .
But few vacancies remained in the
emergency organization set np to
speed $-3,300,000,000 on federal and
non-federal public works projects' al
though a few engineers and other of
ficials were yet to be appointed.
The engineers will assist state
public works advisory boards in past
ing on applications for funds before
the pleas for money are tent to
Washington for consideration by the
special public works board headed by
Secretary Ickes of the interior de
partment. '
In several states qualified men
who were members of state boards
were transferred to be atate engin
eers for the public works administra
tion and vacancies thus created will
be filled later.
The appointments of the state en
gineers included Oregon Claude G.
Hockley, Portland.
nOifCUTOFF
Highway Department Sends
"Crack Engineer" For
Important Survey
"Yes, air, there's no question but
that the work on the gwisshome cut
off of the Siuslaw highway is going
right ahead.
Two minutes conversation with J.
F. Waller, locating engineer, makes
it plain that the preliminary work
will be completed by the time the
federal appropriation of $03,000 from
secondary road funds is' approved anil
allocated through the office of the
regional public works administrator,
Marshall Dana.
Waller arrived here recently to
take over the work. He ia a man
of few words but of action. He de
clined to say which route looked best
so far. .
"There's nothing to say. ' We are
making the reconalssance and when
that is completed we shall know what
we are doing, There's only one route
and that is the best one and the
most feasible one." Further than
that he has nothing to say, only to
do, be says.
' Mr. Waller was the engineer called'
in by the Persian government to
route its railway. He was in Persia
four years, going on two different
trips. He returned from tbe last
trip there tbe first of January this
year. He was there for two years,
returning to the United States for
two years, then going back to Persia,
Immediately preceding his job on
the Siuslaw he was in the Coos Bay
country working on highway and
bridge nlans there.
He's not much for talking about
his career but it has been an event
ful one. Hit assignment to the
Swisshome project is taken to Indi
cate that the highway department re,
gards the road as of prime impor
tance.
Mrs. Waller's daughter, Betty
Jones, formerly attended the Quiver
sity here, having left the campus to
go to Persia with her mother to join
Mr. Waller.

PRESSURE THREATENS
Steel Industry Declares
Compromise Limit
Is Reached
By JAMES P. SELVAGE
, Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. OP)
A multitude of additional workers
were swept today within the embrace
of the NRA's Blue Engle, but the
problem of fastening codes of fair
competition upon tbe nation's major
industries still hung perplexlngly over
tbe national recovery program.
For five important industries Hugh
S. Johnson, the administrator, signed
into effectiveness a modified presi
dential re-employraent agreement fix
ing wages and hdurs which employers
may adopt to obtnin tbe Blue Eagle
pending completion of permanent
codes.
Temporary Codes Granted
These were designed to increase
the nation's purchasing power by mil
lions of dollars and put thousands of
workers back on jobs through their
provisions for maximum hour regula
tion and minimum wages.
The affected the electric light and
power, gas utility Including natural
and manufactured gns telephone,
canning and construction industries,
In -addition temporary wage and
hour agreements were promulgated
for employers in the paper and pulp,
fruit and flavoring syrups, garter,
suspender and belt, and marking de
vice industries.
In all, more than 2,000.000 workers
were affected, NRA estimnted.
Where Codes Stand
Carrying above the three score and
ten mark the number of industries
for which tempornry Jwnge' and hour
provisions' have been provided, in
addition to the six permanent codes-
the campaign still left untouched tbe
steel, , oil, lumber, automobile, coal,
and other basic industries, employing
millions of men, except for temporary
wnge and hour provisions in effect
for petroleum.
Here is the status: '
Tbe automobile industry has sub
mitted a codo and a hearing date has
been set for August 18. Henry Ford
has given no indication yet of his
attitude.
The steel code has been through
hearings and the evidence is now be
ing annotated. Some time will prob
obly be required before Deputy Ad
ministrator K. M. Simpson, is ready

President Roosevelt tonight by Wil

The letter eaid the conventions
"are neither representative nor delib

It asked that the president refer
the question of their constitutionality
to the attorney general and said
such conventions "falsely asmroe to

EL PRESIDENT E!
"I did not raise my boy to be a soldier
I brought him up to be my pride and joy."
Old timers' who remember the happy ragtime days before the
United States entered the World War will remember that maudlin
ditty. Once America had cast lots with the AllieB, It was supplanted
by "Over There" and ballads of the sterner sort
To many an old timer, that ridiculous song comes back upon a
visit to the brand new 3-C camps. A HegisterGuard reporter visited
Oakrldge and Rlgdon ranch camps the other day with Lt Roy D,
Craft, intelligence officer on the staff of Major Charles H. Corlett,
commanding the big Eugene district .
In the permanent camp at Oakrldge, there were the same rows
of regulation barracks (the long, low one-storey ones like they bad
in officers' training camps, not the big two-storey affairs or the con
centration camps).
. , - . At Itiudon, there were the perfect
ly lined rows of regulation pyramidal
tents, heatlqunrters tents across -the
top of fhe, street, mess shacks across
the loot, -A tall flagpole carried the
colors ove each camp. , "
There were young men In O. 0.
shirts and blue waist overalls, regula
tion fatigue dress, different from the
field uniform of breeches, blouse and
putts but very similnr to regulation,
at that In the hour after noon ineas
they were busy with the usuul jobs
of "policing" which go on about au
army camp,
There was everywhere a neatness
and a cleanliness tbe old army touch.
Old HIp-HIp Missing .
Tet certain familiar things were
missing. There were army officers
with full insigna of rank but no
where did any man draw tip for a
snappy salute. Nowhere did the visi
tor hear the barking of commands or
the "one-tuh-three-four" of platoons
on the march.
Without benefit of any of the regu
lation discipline, the regular army and
the forest service are sharing a
tremendous experiment in LEADER
SHIP and they are MAKING GOOD
at it.
When the regular army was given
tbe job of recruiting the S-C's and
running their camps, there was a ter
rific howl from some chronic paci
fists. It was fear the army would in
culate a warlike spirit into the 3-C's.
The modern army isn't like that In
peace or in war, it bases control on
leadership.
4000 Men In Area
In the Eugene area alone there are
-1000 young men In these 8-0 camps.
They are gathered from cities and
towns in all parts of the Middle
Increased Prices
Expected To Take
NRA Program Cost
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. 04)
What does the NBA mean?
The following questions were de
veloped and answered today by of
ficials of the National Kccovery Ad
ministration: Are employers expected to in
cronre the price of their merchandise
to take care of what expense they
incur in increasing the number of
men they must employ?
Yes. The only restraint ashed is
that employers not raise prices any
more than costs are raised.
Whnt is the basic Idea back of the
NRA?
A cooperative effort to spread buy
ing power.
Has the NRA set a "deadline" for
employers to obtain the Blue Eagle
iiisiguin?
Np. -
Whnt does the NRA say about
those employers who insist the In
creased cost they must stand under
the president's reemployment agree
ment will prove disastrous?
It Is expected that for a limited
time there will be higher costs before
there are higher sales, but unless the
whole plan of tbe NRA is to fail this
condition will not last long and in the
short time that It does last, the bur
den Is not very heavy for anybody.
Compton Decries
Delayed Report
On Lumber Code
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. W
Asserting the lumber industry should
not be held responsible for the length
of time before a code governing its
hoars and wages is effective. Dr.
Wilson Compton, head of the Na
tional Lumber Manufacturers' asso
ciation, tonight In a statement said
that any further delay would be due
to the recovery administration. f
"If there fa any further delay In
the administration's approval of the
lumber code, as now before tbe na
tional recovery administrator, on the
recommendation of his own deputies
and advisers, it will be his delay and
not ours, ' Compton eald.
"The revised national lumber code
now before him contain some pro
visions which we do not rel!.h, hut
which we will accept because we in
tend to 'Do Our fart'."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12 VP) K
relaxation of the stringent provisiona
of President Roosevelt's ban on gold
exports was announced today by the
treasury department to allow Ameri
can mining interests to ship abroad
certain types of the unrefined metals.
Miners have Bought permission to
sell the gold in the world market,
where the price Is around $u0 an
ounce aa compared with the fixed
prim of jLtl.C7 on ounce at tbe
United States mint.
If advantage could be taken of this1
world market, miners declared, the
earnings of unemployed men panning
gold nnder grubstake plans would be
greatly increased, and many mines
now shut down could be reopened and
operated profitably.
Under the new regulations an
nounced todny, however, grubstake
miners and those dealing tn pure gold
