4 THE REGISTER-GUARD. EUGENE. OREGON. Art Exhibit Set Up In Eugene for Week Members and friends of the Eu gene branch, American Associa tion of University Women, Satur day afternoon at Cerllnger hall obtained "a glimpse behind .the scenes In the world of art" when they heard Robert Tyler Davis, di rector of the Portland Art museum discuss "Arts in the War and Fost-War." " Examples of what Davis dis cussed may. be seen at Lyons and Peters store this week where 30 multiple originals from originals of contemporary younger artists are on display. These studies come from the federal arts pro ject and this is the first exhibit. This war has failed to develop any new method of design in poster creation, Davis claimed, pointing out that the work of poster artists in this war does not begin to approach that of the last war. One of the reasons given is the wide use of photography, which has been skillfully used for many purposes in this war, more or less discouraging creative de sign in poster expression. "Wars have a way of stlmulat nig artistic talents," Devis sug gested. "In army camps, msiiy men seek recreation in studios, work shops, arts and skills. It Is an escape mechanism for men whose work-day minds are devot ed to very brutal and realistic things." -. ' "In the post-war world art should play an important part in re-expressing our typical Ameri can culture," Davis said. "Culture is a way of living and the arts are just one part of this expression, which can and are modified to meet new situations. Americans should partake of art In the man ner which they can afford, if that is the possession of a great mast ers' original or a very excellent copy, which are now available," he added. Japs Revive- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) the brink of death. Just what the Japs Inflicted upon them we did not know, because those who re turned to us were silent Some never came out, such as Chinese Consul General Dr. K. Young, Ex-Consul General Mok and many other Chinese who were loyal to their motherland. Many Filipinos took their last ride from Fort Santiago to Cemeterio Del Notre where they were blasted into common graves by Japanese firing squads. "Special" eases at the fort In cluded those of Roy C. Bennett, editor and manager of The Manila Bulletin and former newsman in Philadelphia and Lexington, Ky.; H. McCullough-Dick, British own er and publisher of the Philippine Free Press; Fred Stevens, Ameri can, a Masonic leader In the islands, and many, many others. They came out alive. Bennett was a physical wreck, but was recov ering rapidly when I left Manila Sept, 26. Seventy-three-year-old McCullough-Dlck was released to a Manila hospital where he was recovering slowly. Stevens had re turned to good health two months after his release. Whether the military police are using the dungeons under the old fort I do not know. But If I' were betting my money on it I would give odds that the dungeons have been repopulated and have return ed to the evil years of the Span ish regime, prior to 1898. My bet would be based upon the fact that many widely known Filipinos and Chinese have utterly disap peared and so far as 1 could learn ,were never removed from tho islands or executed. ' Wqshingtoniqns Ask For Special Session SEATTLE, Dec. 13 (P) Three requests for an early session of the state legislature were for warded to Governor Langlie over the week-end with three differ ent purposes In mind. The Washington state and King county old age pension unions passed resolutions asking that the sessions be called to provide re lief for men and women being discharged from the armed ser vices and to consider "much need ed" increases in benefits for the state's senior citizens. The third request came from the registration committee of the Seattle metal trades council (AFL) asking legislation to "streamline the ballot and regis tration rights of Washington men and women in service." Army Engineers Note End of Job The United States army engine ers will broadcast over a national hook-up Tuesday from the Bonne ville dam in celebration of the last of the dam's 10 dynamos being in stalled and placed In operation, C Brazil, manager of the Eugene southwest district's office of the Bonneville administration, , an nounced Monday. Bonneville has had nine ma chines In operation for some time, Brazil said, and has been supply ing power to the war Industries of the northwest With tne tentn ma chine operating Bonneville will generate over 600,000 Kilowatts. A new record output was made on the last day of November by the Bonneville dam and tne urana Coulee, Brazil reported, when both dams put out 28,939,000 kilo watt hours. Soldier Voting- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) States senate on the question of soldier-balloting has shown that, where triple exchange would rje Involved, 37 days on the average by airmail carriage would be re quired to consummate voting in the European theater of war. Vot ing in the Pacific area would re quire 43 days and in the Near East 92 days. "The present Oregon regula tions if left unamended would thus bar from voting most men and women In overseas service. I cannot think that the governor of the state would want that to hap pen. Would Lose Vote "It Is possible that 5,000,000 American nationals will be out of the country by next summer, the majority of whom will be of vot ing age. Some 40,000 of these would likely be from Oregon. Neglect to amend our absentee voters' regulations would virtual ly disfranchise thousands of our citizens. While troop and ship movements would prevent any scheme of balloting from 100 per cent operation, the nearer that could be approached the better. "I believe that, unless the attorney-general of the state can find a loophole In the law, a special session of the legislature to deal with soldier-balloting is not only desirable but imperative."

We have reached complete agreement on operations to be undertaken by land and by sea." . Seattle to Launch Post-War Project SEATTLE, Dec. 13 0J.R) A com munity post-war planning pro- ffrnm tn nlrl Seattle's MBIllclmanl to a peacetime economy will be launcnea tnis week when an ad visory panel of nine successful businessmen begins a series of conferences to help local com panies with their post-war prob lems. Under the plan, Seattle busi nessmen will receive free advice on ways to build payrolls In the northwest and guard against un employment according to Dr. Nat EnRle .director of the panel. "Individual companies can lay their worries before the panel and get the seasoned advice of a well rounded group of men without a penny of cost," Dr. Engle said. Brazil Plans To Send Soldiers To Europe ALLIED HEADQUARTERS. Al giers. Dec. 12 (U.fl) An advance "reconnaissance" party of Brazll I Inn army officers reported today I that a Brazilian expeditionary force would be stationed in north Africa or Europe soon. The group was headed bv Gen. Mascarenhas Dc Moraes, of Bra zil s army staff and a spokesman said tt was "sign meant that ar rival of the party follows scon after the announcement that Bra zil Intends to send an expedition ary force composed of air and ground force units In large nurn- Ders to turope or Africa." POULTRY BOOSTED WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. The OPA today boosted the Drice which governments procurement agencies may pay for dressed poultry. The order, effective De. cember 18, permits such agencies to pay one-cent over the seller's shipping point, plus freight to the buyer s receiving point. United Air Line Fares East Cut Effective immediately, Eugene air passengers will enjoy a sub stantial reduction in plane fares between Eugene and Chicago as well as all points east of Chi cago, it was announced today by United Air Lines through C. A. Eberhardt, station manager. Eberhardt said he had received word from United's Chicago headquarters that Eugene, Salem, Red Bluff and Medford have been named common rate points for travel to and from Chicago and points east. They thus join 17 other cities along United's Pacific coast airway which previously had been so designated. The effect, Eberhardt ' said, is that passengers travelling be tween Eugene, Chicago, New York and other eastern centers no longer will be charged for that portion of the trip between Eugene and Portland. Bricker Charges New Deal Socialistic NEW YORK, Dec. 13. U.fi Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, first to announce formally his candi dacy for the 1944 Republican presidential nomination, recently asserted that the Roosevelt ad ministration is using the war "as an excuse to further many danger ous prewar policies," leading the U. S. Helps Father Divine Admirers Shed Their Sins WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (U.B The U. S. treasury Is helping Father Divine's followers free themselves from sin, through its "conscience fund" cash given to the government to compensate for old debts or petty thieveries of the past Father Divine Instructs his fol- i lowers to pay all their debts new or old. If they cannot re member to whom they owe the nation to national socialism. Bricker was the principal speak er at a dinner meeting of the Pennsylvania society. He also crit icized indirectly the federal gov ernment's foreign policies. "America needs a forthright foreign policy," he said. "A sound American policy In International affairs means that we shall deal as a strong independent nation and that other nations of the world shall deal with us on the same basis." Bricker said it is the nation's duty, however, to do its share in "maintaining adequate instrumen talities of peace," and for "these purposes, the United States will take her place in a cooperative or ganization among sovereign na tions after this war." For $75, Invested in a $100 War Bond, the army can get a small wall tent, a water-proof bedding roll and a khaki cotton shirt ' money or cannot locate the debt : ors, they are to send the money j to the government. More than $1000 is received -mommy, ana Father Divine has assured the treasury that "the march of righteousness" has only begun. The followers, send the money In their new names with Instruc tions to the treasury to acknow ledge the payments to Father Di vine. Satisfied Love of New York sent $25 In payment of money she found on a subway years ago. Precious Love sent $5 and True Jacob sent $10 because he loafed on his job and quit early when he worked for the WPA. A "healer" sent $25 to repay a fee he accepted for treating a deaf man although he . had no re sults. The "conscience fund" also serves people who are not follow ers of Father Divine. John Doe of Santa Fe, N. M., now 80, sent money to pay for grass and drift wood taken from government property in 1894, saying he wished to settle up before he passed on. Money collected through the conscience fund goes into the general fund to be used for government expenses. From all sources the fund received $34,746 In the last fiscal year and $12,061 from July I to Nov, 30 this year. Southern Senators Split on New Party WASHINGTON, Dec. IS Senators from the solid south axe split wide apart on the question of quitting the democratic party for an Independent political or ganization of their own and the thunder of revolt may die without lightning. There was angry talk In the sen ate last week from some of the southerners that they were tired of being "kicked around" In the democratic party, culminated by a suggestion from Senator Bailey (D-NC) that they form their own party and seek to wield the bal ance of power in the electoral col lege. Senator Smith (D-SC) capped this with a call for the south to unite behind Senator Byrd (D Va.) tor the presidential nomina tion, but cross-check today turned up only two other senators willing to say publicly that ther might be conditions under which the southerners would withdraw from the parent democratic party. Senator Eastland (D-Miss.), told a reporter: "You can quote me as saying 'Amen to Senator Bailey'i remarks." Senator Andrews (D-Fla.) said he felt "if we're going to be treated as we have been, particularly by our democratic representatives from the northern states, we'd bet- , ter perhaps form a party of our own, the constitutional southern I democrats."

There are a number of other important units in our new 40 million dollar 100 octane gasoline plant, but adding the "Cat Cracker" will enable us to make more 100 octane from a barrel of crude than we could ever secure by older methods. Here's why; 2 Ordinary cracking methods yield a base stock gasoline of about 76 octane. Catalytic cracking yields the tame amount of gasoline, but of a much higher grade. For the catalyst acts as a "molecule immigration inspector"-allowing only those petroleum mdeuleswrliihvehighewrJrfornraceval'lto''getby.,, 1 ' What this increased performance will mean to our armed forces now, and to your automobile after the war, goes with out saying. But to put the catalytic cracking method into operation requires a tremendous amount of plant. For example: $V II- i r tlAWHi kH 1 I Will - ."!"

But the US. Treasury didn't have to put up a penny. We dug up the money ourselves without any help from Government subsi dies. We're rather proud of this, of course, but On fad that tot amid do it is far more important than our personal feelings. For it points up a principle that has had more to do with our country's war production record than any other influence in American life. That principle is our American System of Fm Enttrprise. Because of this free, competitive system every American business, large and small, has been encouraged to develop as far and as fast as its abilities would take it Consequently, when war came, companies likeUnAi had alrrndy developed the "know-how," the resoureei and the capacity to convert to military production with out a hitch. As a result our nation has been able to do the greatest job of war production ever accomplishea by any people in history.
