tion t CorvaUts but without suc
cess. "I have a lot of skilled men on
my books who are eager to work,"
said Mr. Wagenman. "I can't figure
out what the trouble Is. We hear
they are calling for all the good
carpenters they can get and yet
the men from Eugene don't seem
to be wanted. I am doing what I
can to get the matter straightened
out."
Veterans Interested
The situation attracted the at
tention of the American Legion
and Veterans of Foreign Wars in
Eugene and Mike Moriarty who Is
service officer for both the Legion
and WW prevailed on Mr. Tone
(who is a World War veteran and
member of the VFW) to make a
detailed statement of the trouble.
"The veterans organisations are
concerned with winning this war
and seeing Justice done. Frank
Jones, commander of the Legion
post and W. K. Striker, command
er of the VFW have authoriied me
to get to the bottom of this situa
tion without delay. ' We have had
the same complaint from other
unions."
A Register-Guard call to con
struction headquarters revealed
that official action also was being
taken. John O'Neil, of Portland, an
AFL troubleshooter, was reported
on the Job at Corvallls and Albany
"to comb some hair."
Mr. Tone made the following
statement:
1 went down to Corvallis last
Friday, went to the office of the
Carpenters' union in the Penney
block there, left my book, regis
tered, and paid $1 for a permit to
go to work. They said I would be
called in two days or maybe in a
week. .

in Corvallis Monday morning
ready to go to work. I took my
tools and was at the Corvallis
union office at 7:30, waited till 8
for the doors to open.
"I sat there till noon. There
was no call. There were six of

hr. rTha others were Art
Hayes, Al Mumau, W. L. Burk-

and T. C. Denslinger, of Spring

came back and sat till 2 p. m.
"Then we took turns going to
the window to find out If there had
been a call for us. The Corvallis
business agent, Mr. Kammerer,
told us all the same story we
would have to wait our tum.
Meantime, we saw fellowi with
California licenses being assigned
to work.
"Finally we got Impatient and
we went and called John Wagen
man in Eugene to ask what we
should do. He told us to call Col.
Des Islets, in charge of the camp
construction. We called the col
onel and he told us to go down to
the U. S. employment office in
Corvallis and they would straight
en it out.
"The man in the employment
office said he was going to a meet
ing to try to straighten this out
and he told us to pick one man
to wait and get the word. Three of
us waited instead of one. About
4 o'clock, the employment office
man came back and ' said he
couldn't do anything.
"After that I went back up to
the union hall and got my book
and my dollar back and came
home. At the meeting of our Eu
gene union Monday night I made
a motion that the State Federation
should take over the Corvallis of
fice and run it. There was some
discussion. Some of the older
members were asked what could
be done under the bylaws, but no
body seemed to know, so conse
quently there was nothing done
for the present.
"While we were waiting in the
labor hall at Corvallis I talked to
one old carpenter and union mem
ber from The Dalles. He said he
had been called In to help Initiate
a class of 25 new members in the
Corvallis union, because they were

In this, the first meeting of the
budget committee, all salaries
were left on the same basis as
provided for In the first six
months of 1942. except for the
minor changes mentioned above.
These figures in most cases rep
resented slight increases over tije
pay scales allowed in 1941.
The debt retirement program.
as drawn up by the council sev
eral years ago. was left un

Oregon's acute grain storage
situation, as revealed at the special
meeting of northwest grainmen in
Portland last week, was called to
the attention of Lane county wheat
growers in a statement released
Monday by the county AAA office.
Unless emergency measures are
taken within the next 60 days, at
least half of Oregon's estimated
17 million bushel 1942 wheat crop
and it may be even larger will
have no place to go at harvest
time.
Whether Or not a good portion
of the crop will have to be piled on
the ground depends largely on the
amount of storage space farmers
themselves can provide.
Commercial warehouses and ele
vators are filled 75 percent of
capacity with last year's crop.
Most of the 18 million bushel
carryover, plus three million more
bushels in farm storage will still
be here when the new crop Is har
vested.
Commodity credit will not be
able to make much of a dent In the
pile, despite programs to release
wheat for conversion into alcohol,
feeding to livestock and grinding
into flour for lend-lease shipment.
The supply of new sacks will be
extremely limited. Burlap Imports
all from India have been stop
ped by the war. Present supplies
will nave to last for the duration.
and the Army has first call on bur
lap for sandbags and camouflage.
Shortage of metals makes con
struction of new warehouse and
elevator space extremely difficult
However, war production board
representatives have given assur
ance that nails, lumber and limited
amounts of other materials needed
for construction of small, non-fire
proof farm storage facilities will
be available.
The county AAA office asks each
grower to find out at once whether
or not their local warehouse will
be able to handle his crop. If the
warehouse will not have facilities
available, growers should plan
now to provide storage for their
own grains.
George W. Piatt, chairman of the
county AAA committee, asks
growers to give consideration to
the acute storage situation when
they vote at the May 2 referendum
on wheat marketing quotas. Ore
gon's condition is not unique, he
points out present U. S. wheat
supplies are sufficient to make
588 loaves of bread for every man,
woman and child In the nation.
come within the next four weeks,
declaring:
"To think the Japanese will con
centrate on India and not come
here would be foolishness. We
must be prepared for the worst."
Signs of a possible Japanese
"peace offensive" cropped up in a
Tokyo broadcast quoting Toyo
hlko Kagawa, Japan's best-known
Christian leader, as declaring:
'Prayers are being said dally
for an early conclusion of the war
and restoration of peace through
out the world."
In this connection, authoritative
observers have forecast a Japa
nese peace drive as soon as she
had conquered the territories de
sired in her "greater East Asia
Co-prosperity sphere."
With the rise of allied offensive
power, Japan may now feel ready
to call quits.
Only yesterday, Director Archi
bald MacLeish of U. S. office of
facts and figures warned that an
axis peace offensive "as much a
naxi mechanized division" was
scheduled to be launched at Amer
ica this summer.
Meanwhile, Chinese reports said
the Japanese were speeding pre
parations for possible war against
Russia, heavily reinforcing their,
garrson in inner Mongolia, which
borders Soviet Siberia west of
Manchukuo.

Lane Cover Crop
Seed Needed in South
Lane county's 35,000 acres of
cover crop seeds hairy vetch,
Willamette vetch, common vetch,
Austrian peas, ryegrass, crimson
clover will make an important
contribution toward meeting tood-for-freedom
goals in the southern
states, the county AAA committee
has been advised by William En
schede of Hillsboro and John
Shepherd of Scio, seed growers
and members of the state AAA
committee.
Shepherd and Enschede recently
returned from a trip through six
southern states to get first-hand
information on the need for Ore
gon cover crop seed. Without an
adequate supply of seed this year,
southern growers will not be able
to meet many war production
goals, the Oregon men learned.
Besides checking erosion that
has been destroying thousands of
acres of southern farmland, Ore
gon cover crop seeds have result
ed in phenomenally increased crop
yields throughout the south, the
committeemen reported.
Here are a few typical examples
of increased yields reported by the
Oregon men:
Corn Cover crop increased
yields from 20 bushels to 35 bush
els an acre.
Cotton One Georgia farmer
used to get 12 bales from a 27-acre
field. With cover crops, he is now
getting Yi Dales from 10 acres.
and is growing peanuts and corn
on the remaining 15 acres.
Sugar cane Cover crop increas
ed yields by five tons per acre.
Peanuts Yields of this crop,
now badly needed for oil, increas
ed one-third by cover crops.
The big majority of southern
growers, Enschede and Shepherd
told the county AAA committee,
are dependent on the AAA for a
supply of seed.
For that reason It Is Important
that AAA acquire a substantial
part of this year's crop, the com
mitteemen believe. Geo. W. Piatt,
chairman of the county AAA com
mittee, points out that many
county seed growers have signed
agreements to sell at least half of
their 1942 crop to AAA.
Welfare Commission
Eyes New Quarters
Negotiations are under way for
the occupation of the first floor
of the old Eugene postoffice build
ing by the Lane County Public
Welfare commission Dut no aenn
ite conclusion has been reached.
The commission is now located in
a building at the corner of Twelfth
avenue east and Alder street,
where It moved from the Broad
way building down town two
years ago.
At a meeting Monday of the
Lane County Pioneer Museum
commission, which has charge of
the old postoffice buildng, owned
by Lane county, the lower floor
space was offered to the welfare
commission at $200 a month rental
and the museum commission will
make the necessary alterations.
Max L. Dudley, welfare commis
sion administrator, said that the
offer is being considered.
The lower floor of the old post
office building has been occupied
by the United States army engin
eers in charge of the work on the
several flood control dams in Lane
county, but they have vacated the
rooms since work on the dams
has ceased.
estimated at $201,777.10, leaving
a balance of $268,088.41 to be
raised by local district taxation.
This figure was $269,179.78 for the
1941-42 school year.
Committee members pointed out
that cuts in new equipment were
feasible because of the difficulty
in getting delivery on new items.
Maintenance and repairs were
maintained at the usual level.
Much of the reduction In cur
rent expenses was offset by the
reoulrement that rn additional
$11,000 be provide dfor bond pay
ments this year. This money will
go to retitre (at last) an issue
which was spent in 1890 to build
the Patterson school which was
torn down six years ago. This Issue
had been refunded from time to
ttim without any payments be-
ine made on the principal. It was
last refunded in 1923, so that no
payments could be made on the
principal until March 13, 1843,
when the entire issue comes due.

Registrants Receive
Occupational Blanks
Lane county selective service
registrants Monday were receiving
the first of thousands of copies, of
an occupational questionnaire de
signed to determine what defense I
jobs could be filled in the event
of "labor conscription."
The answers to the questions
also will assist the U. S. employ
ment service in building up a
reservoir of "on call" labor in
various vital defense industries.
The long questionnaire lists
scores of occupations, and asks
the registrant to tell at what jobs
he has worked other than his
present occupation, and the length
of time served on these jobs.
Every registrant on the list at
the three draft boards, who has
not already been classified at 1-A,
or drafted into the armed forces,
will receive a copy of the questionnaire.
