J CIO WINS ELECTION
; ROSEBURG, March 21 VP)
The CIO was chosen as bargaining
; agent for workers at the Umpqua
Plywood Corp. plant here at an
J election Wednesday under NLRB
i supervision. The vote was CIO 47,
AFL 36, no union 1.
Naval Operations Adm. Harold R.
Stark.
The diary entries disclosed that:
1. Mr. Roosevelt polled the full
cabinet Nov. 7, 1041, and found lt
unanimously agreed that the
American public would support
war with Japan if Japan struck
the British at Malaya or the
Dutch East Indies.
2. The war cabinet agreed Nov.
25 that despite the risk of letting
Japan have the advantage of the
first shot, it was "desirable" In
order to have full support of the
American public, and so there
would be no doubt as to who
were the aggressors.
3. Mr. Roosevelt "fairly blew
up" when Stlmson told him on
Nov. 26 that a Japanese task
force of 30 to SO ships was steam
ing i toward Indo-Chlna. Mr.
Roosevelt considered it evidence
of bad faith by Japan in current
negotiations.
4. Mr. Roosevelt personally or
dered the sending of a "final al
lert" Nov. 27 to Pacific outpost
defenders.
5. The war cabinet agreed Nov.
28 that the south-bound Japanese
force should not be attacked with
out warning. As an alternative, lt
was agreed that Mr. Roosevelt
should address a secret message
to the Japanese emperor and send
a special message to Congress re
porting the danger and outlining
what should be done if British,
Dutch or the Philippines were at
tacked. (The message to Hlrohlto was
dispatched Dec. 6, 1941, the night
before Pearl Harbor was attacked.
The message to Congress never
was delivered prior to the attack.)
6. Hull, Stlmson and Knox all
expected on the morning of Dec.
7 that Japan was "planning some
deviltry; and we all were wonder
ing where the blow would strike."
They had no thought Pearl Har
bor would be struck.
Meridian Dam
Victory Won
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
embankment with a concrete spill
way of the side-channel type. It
will have a crest length of 725
feet and a height of 250 feet. Ten
million cubic yards of earth.
Drainage area of the dam is 991
square miles, approximately three
tenths of the entire area of the
Willamette River basin.
Generation of Power
The dam will be primarily de
signed for flood control, with pro
vision for future generation of
power, an article in the June, 1945
Pacific Builder and Engineer
notes. With abandoning of the
Lookout Point site, engineers fav
ored a dam on Big Fall CTeek to
supplement the Meridian project.
Physical factors limit the amount
of flood control storage which can
be economically developed at Mer
idian, they found.
Relocation of the Cascade line
of the Southern Pacific Railway
will be necessary, as the present
tracks are In the pool area of the
proposed dam for 14 miles. Re-lay
ing oi 23 miles or tracK along tne
laf t bank of the reservoir to a con
nection with the existing line
above the reservoir nine miles
northwest of Oakridge is planned.
Considerable engineering prob
lems will be met on the railroad
relocation project. Deep cuts,'
high fills, Interference with high
way relocation and possibilities of
slide conditions confront the en
gineers. Four major bridges will
be built. It Is estimated railroad
relocation will cost $6,900,000.
Approximately 13 miles of the
Willamette highway will also be
relocated to route traffic from Eu
gene to Klamath Falls around the
dam. Two major bridges will be
required. The project will cost
$3,890,000.
