Salem,. Ore., Feb. 28 uri More
lhnn a dozen persons favoring a
house memorial asking congress
to deport Japanese aliens and dis
loyal citizens after the war ap
peared at a hearing before the
house resolutions committee last
night.
Chief dissatisfaction with the
memorial was that it provided
for no immediate action in keep
ing Japanese away from the west
coast.
G. R. Fry, of the Hood River
American Legion set the tenor of
the discussion by saying that the
Japanese should be "quarantined"
to eliminate the causes of poten
tial disorder.
"We should not have before us
faces which Incite us to violence,"
he said.
Measure Explained
The memorial (HJR7) was in
troduced by Rep. Vernon Bull,
Lu Grande, and he was eager to
do so, he said, contrary to some
reports which, he said, had stated
he did it only because there was
no one else.
The measure, in 'Its present
state, calls for deportation of all
Japanese aliens and those who
have demonstrated dual citizen
ship or disloyalty.
Ex-Gov. Walter Pierce cited fig
ures on the Japanese birth rate
and said that even it the.Japa
nese lose the war thev will be
back again "in 25 or 50 or 100
years."
He said he wanted the memo
rial Dassed to show that the Pa
cific coast was united and if he
had the chance, he said, he would
write a measure that would
"really raise the roof."
Objection Heard
A suggestion was made during
the hearing that it should include
all aliens, Japanese or otnerwi.se,
but it was discounted by Rep.
Bull, who said the Oregon consti
tution drew the "color line" and
that the Japanese problem was
the really serious one.
Virtually the only voice against
the memorial in the crowd of
more than 200 was that of Wen
dell Barnett of the Farmers union,
who discounted the birthrate fig
ures and said that the question
was "bigger than Oregon." i
The attitude of America toward
the colored people of the world
will affect the world for many
years, he said, and was not some
thing to be taken lightly.
Locally, he said, it is a question
of "color and competition."

TRUCKMAN
SPARE THAT TIRE!
Truck tires are scarce today ... so it's just plain
common sense to look after them better now than
ever before. It's a job for teamwork all the way
down the line. Drivers can help by "sparing their
tires" from unnecessary jolts against curbs, ruts
and chuck holes and by keeping speed down on the
open road. Maintenance men can help by keeping
proper air pressures and having repairs made in
time and we can help with "U.S." Transportation
Maintenance-ihe plan that truck operators every
where find is saving truck tire miles and cutting
tire costs. See us for full details today.

Othman Joins in Hunf for Men
W if H Long Beards and Ideas
By Frederick C. Othman
(United Prnw Staff Cormpoftilent)
Washington, Feb. 28 (Hi H S R-S-T!
Communists. Congress and I
are looking for some. Guys with
whiskers. Maybe bombs.
We haven't found any, at least
not in the U. S. army, but we're
still looking and the war depart
ment hasn't heard its last from
us.
The. assistant secretary of war,
John. J. McCloy, a grayish-looking
man with a fringe of silvery hair
and a double-breasted suit of the
same shade, said the army did
have a communist once.
"He was In the south Pacific,"
McCloy testified before the house
military affairs subcommittee,
"and he made such a record in
battle that he was commissioned
a captain on the field. Later on,
at Leyte, he was killed."
McCloy went on to say that
the army didn't bar communists,
as such, but only gents who be
lieved in overthrowing the govern
ment by force. He said he thought
it was something of a shame that
congress had to start its investi
gation. Rep. R. Ewing Thomason
of Texas, the chairman, asked him
why. That started it.
McCloy said if draft dogcrs got
the idea that the army barred
communists, they'd all be com
munists. "And it is a little difficult as it
Cpl. O'Donnell has. completed 17
months of overseas service, and is
entitled to wear the good conduct
medal and the Asiatic Pacific rib
bon, with a bronze service star de
noting participation in the north
ern Solomons campaign. He has
also qualified as a second class
gunner In anti-aircraft artillery.
Inducted Into the army in Febru
ary, 1941, he. received his basic
training at Fort Worden, Wash.,
and additional training at Camp
Haan, Calif.
In civilian life he was employed
by The Shevlin-Hixon Company.
He attended Bend high school.
is." he said, "to tell who is a
communist and who is not, par
ticularly since the American com
munist party was dissolved two
years ago."
He's absolutely right. .The
hearing room was jampacked
witb, army officers, plus one sea
man first class and one Wave
(pretty). I looked 'em in the eye
and I don't think any of 'em
were communists. At least they
weren't carrying any suspicious
looking bundles that ticked.
McCloy said If the committee
wanted details it could question
Maj. Gen. Clayton L Bissell, as
sistant chief of staff in charge of
army intelligence. I have got to
report that Maj. eGn. Bissell didn't
look like he'd stepped from the
pages of E. Phillips Oppenheim.
He was no glamorous internation
al detective.
He was a solid-looking man in
horn-rimmed eyeglasses. He said
the army had received numerous
reports about alleged communists
in the ranks. Some of these
tattle-tales came from those who
were jealous, or those who were
vicious. Some, he said, seemed
to have a basis of fact. Since
Pearl Harbor, he added, the army
has investigated 2,500 alleged
communists in uniform.
"And how many," asked chair
man Thomason, "eventually were
court-martialed and discharged?"
"Two," replied Gen. Bissell.
He said that his military hawk
shaws now number about ,5,000.
They have had far more trouble
with gents who want Hitler, Hiro
hito & Co., to win, he said, than
they have with alleged commu
nists. ' i
The committee wondered aloud
whether Russian's entrance into
the war had changed the army's
policy. The general said he hadn't
noticed it. Then he had his- pic
ture taken.
More later this week. If any
communists are around, congress
and I will find em. Wtth or

5 New Bomoers
Being Developed
Washington, Feb. 28 ill'' If the
residents ol oft-bombed Tokyo
think the B-29 is a tough baby,
they ought to see what the army
is cooking up now.
Gen. Henry H. Arnold, com
mander of the army air forces,
revealed officially today that
three new types of bombers being
than the Superfortresses now
spelling almost daily trouble for
Japan. The new types are desig
nated B-35, B-36 and B-42.
"These are bombers which we
expect to be more powerful and
capable than those now in opera
tion," Arnold said in his annual
report to Secretary of War Henry
L. Stimson. No details were given
of these new super bombers.
Arnold also revealed that the
B-29 "far exceeded" the expecta
tions of its designers by proving
capable of carrying greater ton
nages than they believed feasible.
His report said that jet pro
pelled planes had now reached a
new stage of development and
hinted they would soon make
their appearance on the fighting
fronts.

The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company
(Southern California Telephone Co. Bell Telephone Co. of Nevada)
Subsidiaries
The Board of Directors in making the 1944 'Annual Report to the shareholders presented it also to the men and women
of the company and to the public which it has the responsibility and privilege to serve. Copies of the report are available
i at any of ' the company's business offices or at the Secretary's office. . ' j
EXCERPTS FROM THE 1944 ANNUAL REPORT
"Living as we all are in a period in which a stupendous sweep of history i9 taking place, so big that it obscures a full com
prehension of it and so diffused that it is difficult to envision the full significance of its impact, our company has continued to
do its Htmost during the past year to play its full and effective part in our Nation's attainment of decisive Victory in the dire
world-wide conflict into which we were plunged.
"Geared to full war tempo with increasing emphasis on military activities throughout and directed from the Pacific Coast,
.the demands for telephone communication continue to exceed previous record levels. With its tremendously increased and
mobile population and teeming with unprecedented activity, the territory of the five Pacific Coast states in which our com
pany operates has rapidly developed into one of the most important strategic military and production sections of our
Country.
"As shown . . . from each of our Annual Reports, 1940 to date, the all-out war effort of our company has been woven and
interwoven in the warp and woof of its operations. In fact, the Fall of 1939 saw our sights lifted over the horizon beyond
which were ominous clouds that cast the 'impending gloom of oncoming conflict. Throughout this entire period, our com
pany has been put to a test as never before and its ability to serve under the stress and strain of war has been outstandingly
strengthened, as it has been over the many years, since 1880, by its membership in the Bell System.
"There is no period throughout its entire his
tory which is comparable to that of the last five
years, 1910 to 194-1, inclusive, in its tremendous
expansion which, through its all-out war effort,
lias required gross plant additions aggregating
more than $276,000,000, with the net result that
nt the end of the year the investment jn its tele-.
phone plant had reached the huge total of $651,
069,679, or one-third more than it was on Janu
ary 1, 19 10.
"Since January 1, 1940, our net telephone in
crease has totaled 6-10,223 telephones, or 33 per
cent, a five-year period unequaled in telephone
demand in the history of our company. Our net
telephone increase for the year was only 19,853
telephones, considerably less than for any year
since 1933, and compares with the 1943 net in
crease of 187,002 telephones, the highest of rec
ord. There were at the end of the year
224,573 pending applications for main tele
phones, 96 per cent of which were for residence
service.
"Toll and long distance calls reached a record
total of more lhnn 209,700,000 calls, an increase
of more than 29,000,000 calls, or 12 per cent,
oyer 1943, which year the previous all-time
high was 27 per cent over 1942. Since January
1, 1940, the volume of this traffic has increased
124 per cent. The longer haul calls, originating
in and destined bevond our territory, have in
creased almost ten-fold from 797,000 calls in
1940 to more than 7,737,000 calls in 1941.
"In the last five years, due to (he tremendous
volume of wartime traffic and the unprecedented
telephone demand, the number of our employees
has increased 13,536, or 45 per cent. The number .
of employees on our payrolls at the end of the
year was 43,534, the highest of record.
''The payroll for the year was on all-time high
and exceeded a hundred million dollars, totaling
$104,043,347, an increase of $10,306,606, or 11
per cent, over 1943. It was higher than the year
1940 by $44,382,262, or 74 per cent.
"The earnings of our company on invested
capital long-term debt and shareholders'
equity not only have been declining, but also
are on the low side as compared with many other
businesses. Earnings on its average invested cap
ital in 1940 were 6.06 per cent and in 1944 they
had declined to 5.79 per cent. Although costs of
operation have risen sharply, adversely affecting
its net earnings, our company has had no in
creases in its price levels nor has it profited by
its large volume of business, but to the contrary,
rates have been reduced which, since January 1,
1940, have resulted in savings to our customers,
based on 1944. usage, aggregating $15,000,000
annually,
"Promptly meeting ss we hive all telephone
requirements vital to the war effort, it is a matter
of deep regret and great concern to us that the
unavoidable physical limitations of our plant
have prevented us from meeting fully the civilian
telephone demand. We dislike to tell people that
they have to wait for telephone service, but due
to the limited quantities of telephone equipment
being manufactured for non-war use, it now ap
pears that we will not be able in the near future
to fill promptly all applications. The winning
of the war in the shortest possible time, of course,
comes first. The amounts and kinds of equipment
which will become available to us will depend
upon the extent of and the time involved in the
shifting from war to civilian production of the
manufacture and of the manpower now engaged
in direct production for our armed forces.
"As we now visualize our forthcoming work,
our postwar requirements will be such that it
will be necessary to make plant expenditures ag
gregating more than $175,000,000, an increase
of more than $25,000,000 over the amount so
estimated a year ago. The construction programs
may well be the largest for the first few years
after the war that our company has ever experi- -enced
and they will require an extraordinary
amount of new capital, the yearly amounts fi
nanced being dependent upon business and eco
nomic conditions and the availability to us of
material, manpower and money.
"Our company has the duty and obligation to
welcome home the men and women in uniform
and so to direct its operations that it plays its ef
fective part in providing full employment for
them immediately upon their return. We have
given that assurance to our personnel. We
have also the community responsibility so to
handle our affairs that the veterans of the war
will, on their return, have and hold all that the
cause of freedom signifies. To be capable of
doing its full part, our company must, of neces
sity, be able financially to offer the employment
opportunities which not only create hope and
enthusiasm for the future, but also make for
home and happiness through 'work and liveli
hood for willing hands.'
"We have before us not only the responsibil
ity, with all of its exactions, but also the oppor
tunity to continue to render an indispensable
service, with constantly improving standards, to
a great section of a great democracy, conceived
and dedicated to the public service. To serve as
it should, our company must continue to contrib
ute to make our Nation and the world a better
place m which to live. In so doing, we go for
ward with the firm belief that a great service, ef
hciently and economically rendered, will con
tinue to be received and recognized in accord
ance with the ideals and traditions of the ereat-
est ot alt human enterDrises th mn
of life."
For the Directors,
President.
