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.

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."

Bonneville administration, , an

Bonneville has had nine ma

Brazil said, and has been supply

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."

POULTRY BOOSTED
WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.
The OPA today boosted the Drice

agencies may pay for dressed
poultry. The order, effective De.

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

presidential nomination, recently
asserted that the Roosevelt ad

an excuse to further many danger

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

$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."

to cognize a Gaf Cracker
"Cat Cracker" is the industry's name for Its newest type of refining equipment- cata
lytic cracking unit. 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:

Finally, we'd like to make one more point
Crt This 100 octane plant represents an inest-
ment of $40,080,000. 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. We believe that's something
to think about
