Witnesses Denied
Use of Auditorium
SEATTLE, March 20. W
Several thousand of Jehovah's
Witnesses, a sect, today were de
nied use ot the civic auditorium
for mass meeting to "help win
the war on the home front," and
bear N. H. Knorr, New York city,
president of the Watch Tower so
ciety. The lease was cancelled after
City Councilman James Scavotto
pointed out that a 1938 ordinance
forbids use of the auditorium "for
any purpose which will tend to
engender religious or racial antag
onism." Police were dispatched to the
auditorium today to oust 250 mem
bers of the sect, but later Police
Chief Herbert Kimsey conferred
with Mayor John F. Devin and
decided to permit the organization
to hold rallies in the auditorium
this afternoon and tonight, "be
cause they had rented the build
ing In good faith."
He assigned several policemen
to the building to insure good or
der. Announced as the first Pa
cific northwestern visit of their
eastern leader, the scheduled
meeting tomorrow had drawn
thousands from all over the re
gion, and between today's meet
ings men, women and children
dstiributed literature in the bus
iness district or walked the streets
with signs announcing Knorr's
talk.

change a few shouted words with
Mattern.
"Hang on," he yelled. The plane
leaped, then dropped.
"That's an accelerated stall," he
explained. "There used to be a lot
of rumors that P-38s were death
traps when caught in a stall like
.hat"
Mattern moved a control. The
uropellor on the right engine slow
ly stopped, but the plane still flew
(aster than a Japanese Zero.-'
"They used to say these Llght
ilngs couldn't fly on one engine,"
Mattern shouted. "But watch."
He banked the lane vertically,
first to the left, then to the right
against the dead motor. The bank
threw me from one side to the
other as Mattern yelled something
about false rumors of certain death
for pilots who banked against an
idle engine. I ventured a smile and
found that my jaw seemed to
swing down into space and para
lyze my speech.
"We won't try anything more
fancy," Mattern said as the plane
leveled out. But suddenly he went
into a short power dive that near
ly shot me through the floor ot
the cockpit.
"That's only about 6-G's," Mat
tern smiled as he explained that a
9-gravity pullout from a dive
makes a plane occupant weigh
nine times his normal weight and !
usually lose consciousness when
the blood Is forced from his head.
With one engine dead Mattern i
duplicated the maneuvers he had
put the plane through with both
engines roaring. Then he carefully
set the craft back on the airport
runway, with only one engine op
erating. "Think nothing of it," Mattern
ssured me as I caught my breath.
"We'll all be flying planes like
these after the war Is over. It's
that extra engine that's important.

department, as well as It license
number, If any. The owner would
be notified by mail, and a notice
would be published once in the
Register-Guard. Both notices
would ask the owner to call im
mediately for his dog, pay cost of
impounding, buy a license if the
dog had none, and "give the chief
of police reasonable assurances
that the dog will not again run at
large." The dog would then be re
leased. The ordinance would also auth
orize the chief to sell the dog, if
not claimed, five days after pub
lication of notice. Dogs not called
for in 10 days would be "killed in
a humane manner under direction
of the humane society." Any dog
owner believing himself "aggreiv-
ed by the seizure and impound
ing" ot his dog would be permit
ted to appeal his Case at a sum
mary hearing before the chief and
the recorder. Violators could be
and, upon default ot payment, lm
fined a maximum of $25 and costs
prisoned one day for each $2 ot
such fine unpaid.
The ordinance points out that
the U. S. is at war and that the ad
ministration has declared that
maintenance ot victory gardens is
essential to "national preserva
tion," and that "no whole hearted
compliance with the administra
tion's policy can be had if dogs are
permitted to run at large and de
tsroy gardens." If passed, the or
dinance would state that "the
council declares it to be necessary
tor the peace, health, and safety ot
the city of Eugene that this ordin
ance take effect immediately upon
its passage. . . ." .
Claypool said that he had In
tended to present plans for an or
dinance that was "virtually the
same" to the council Monday
night, and that a delegation from
the humane society will appear to
apply for continuation of allot
ment of funds from license fees to
pay an "agent for control of dogs"
or dogcatcher.
"My personal opinion," he said,
"is that unless the dog situation is
brought under control, and unless
we consider other people's rights
in regard to flowers and vegeta
bles, they will resort to drastic
means to protect themselves and
their property."
Mayor Large expressed the rope
that those with suggestions for the
solution to the problem, including
dissenters, would appear at the
meeting so that whatever action
the council takes will be "just for
all concerned."

Dorothy Maynor Will
Sing Here April 2
Dorothy Maynor, sensational
young Negro soprano, will be the
next attraction on the University
ot Oregon greater . artist series
when she appeas at McArthur
court Friday, April 2.
Although Miss Maynor was vir
tually unknown until two years
ago when she was discovered by
the famous conductor. Serge Kous
sevitzky of the Boston Symphony
orchestra, she had already won ac
claim for mature and fully equip
ped artistry and a breathtaking
purity ot tone and line.
Of her, Olin Downes, leading
critic of the New York Times,
wrote: "She should be able to
reach almost any height as one ot
the leading concert singers of her
generation."
Miss Maynor is credited with
having a remarkable range, going
from brilliant high notes to the
dark ones characteristic of her
race. Of special interest is the ef
fortless manner in which she pro
duces the most difficult passages.
Aircraft Industry
Reorganization Seen
NEW YORK, March 2Q.4M
Evidence piled up this week that
the aircraft industry is reorganiz
ing itself for a supreme effort to
attain the 10,000 planes month
output mark before the close of
1943
Such a rate would be almost
double current estimated produc
tion and would translate Into real
ity the peak 120,000 annual plane
total requested by President Roos
evelt shortly after Pearl Harbor.
A big step toward speeding pro
duction came when Henry J. Kais
er, shipbuilder, took over manage
ment of the Brewster aeronautical
corporation on a non-salary basis.
Kaiser was elected chairman of
the corporation, which, according
to the U. S. navy has been laggard
in IV delivery of fighting craft
The navy department made it
plain that Kaiser's appointment
had its blessing.
Brewster was the second plan
company to come under Kaiser's
management in recent weeks. Ear
lier this month he took over Fleet
wings Inc., a producer of planes
for the U. S. army
Another move to speed output
came in the merger of Consolidated
aircraft maker of the famed Lib
erator and Vultee aircraft
which produces craft for the navy.
The companies had been affiliated
and were under the management
ot Tom Girdler, who had been call
ed from his post as head of Repub
lic steel to help increase plane pro
duction. At the same time it was .learned
that makers of both planes and
aircraft parts are planning to get
together in regional councils in
the belief that move will help the
industry hurdle many ot the prob
lems still existent

j(U.R)A complete understanding

military leadership of Gen. Henri
Honore Giraud as the rallying
point for that unity.
Gen. Charles De Gaulle, lead

Newspapers Make Changes
To Help Save On Newsprint
By JAMES MARLOW and
GEORGE ZIELKE
WASHINGTON, March 20 UP)
Maybe you haven't noticed it
but American newspapers par
ticularly the large ones are
changing, a little here, a little
there, in order to save good white
paper.
It's a face-lifting and squeez
ing process to give the readers the
same amount ot news and enter
tainment they always have re
ceived but to do it in less space.
The same changes are not be
ing made everywhere, but here
are some examples of what is hap
pening. Reducing the width of the paper
and! the number ot headlines and
column "heads," keeping margins
narrower, editing the news close
ly to cut out unneeded wordage.
using only four columns to print
comic strips Instead of the peace
time five, cutting various features.
Recently commenting on this
space-saving job, Fleming New
bold, business manager of the
Washington Star, said: "We're giv
ing fewer words- but not less
news."
The reason for all this:
Because of a shortage, the war
production board last January 1
ordered all newspapers using more
than 25. tons of print paper in a
three-month period to reduce their
consumption 10 per cent.
There are 1,787 daily newspap
ers in the country. Between 900
and 1,000 of them, using less than
the specified tonnage, are not af
fected by the order. But the large
ones are, since about 430 news
papers us approximately 80 per
cent of all the paper in their field.
Nevertheless, many of the unaf
fected small ones are cooperating.
Reasons for the shortage, WPB
men say, include:
Reduction in the number of men
willing to cut pulpwood in mid
winter when better-paying jobs
are available in shipyards and
factories; the many usjes of wood
pulp, sulphite and sulphate and
the various forms of wood fiber
by the armed forces.
Another space saving method
some publishers started using it
back in depression days is to re
duce the amount ot statistical fi-

Publishers are strong business

same town were able to save
money and paper by reducing the
number of their daily editions.
This also eliminated a lot of un
sold copies which piled up on
newstands in pre-war days when
editions tumbled after one anoth
er off the nation's presses.
Newspapers helped work out the
10 per cent print paper reduction
through a publishers' advisory
council which sat down with three
top-flight newspaper executives
now working for the WPB. .
These three W. G. Chandler,
general business manager of the
Scripps-Howard papers and direc
tor of WPB's printing and pub
lishing division; Harold Bittner,
publisher of the Pittsburgh Sun
Telegraph and Chandler's assistant
consultant, and Matt Sullivan, cir
culation manager of the Gannett
publications and chief of the division's-newspaper
section have
this to say:
Large and small, the newspapers
have pitched in to help in the pa
per conservation program. At the
same time, of course, they are
helping themselves.
No further print paper cut Is ex
pected before July 1 and may not
even have to occur then, Sullivan
says, if publishers continue their
present efforts and if supply is
forthcoming from Canada.
