When the amended Oregon senate bill 136, reducing the
top employer's contribution rate to the unemployment com
pensation fund to 2.7, passed the upper house, We observed
that it had reached its final form as the result of an agree
ment between lobbies representing labor and a division or
employers who, under the existing law, would normally be
required to pay rates as high as 4. Labor, it was understood
at ihp time, would be recognized through the raising of un
employment benefits to $18 for 20 weeks duration from the
present scale of ?15 for 16 weeks duration. This was pro
vided in amended senate bill 78, which likewise passed the
upper house; , , , ,
Since then senate bill 136 has passed the lower house
and been sent to the governor. Senate bill 78 has been in the
ittpn. As wo have said, it was supposed
to have been agreed to by the high rate employers' lobby in.
part consideration tor laoor s non-opposiuon to uiimiuuiiuu
of higher contribution rates.
But now it appears that this same employers group is
not so well pleased with the benefit schedule arrangement. At
the eleventh hour a statement has gone out from Salem head
Quarters of the group to its membership suggesting that the
maximum possioie annual Dcnent oi ouu couiu wipe urn, mi;
compensation fund and raising tne question or wnerner oene
fits should be increased at this time. Workers from out of
state, it is noted, would chiefly draw on the Oregon fund. If
the benefit schedule were to remain unchanged until these
workers from out or stale were no longer engiuie ior ueneiits,
the fund would of course be conserved for Oregonians.
from our position on the outside, merely endeavoring to
look in, it is difficult to understand the sudden interest that
is now being displayed in conservation of the fund. Had the
move come from the Oregon labor lobby, a reason (although a
, selfish reason ) could be glimpsed. But the high-rate employers'
group has already won its objective in the passage of the bill
which leaves 2.7 as the top contribution rate. Condition of
the fund will no longer be a factor in preventing application
of penalty rates. Yet concern is unmistakably manifest. Does
it stem from fear that too great depletion of the fund might
result in re-federalization of unemployment compensation?
Such fear is indeed warranted if the figures used in the
statement to which we have been referring are accurate. It
would not be warranted if the old benefit schedule could be
retained. Another way to conserve the fund, it may be re
alized, would be to induce the governor to veto senate bill 136.
It is to be doubted however, that the group which obtained the
passage of the bill would look favorably on this suggestion.
Bend Man Serves
With Port Unit
With U. S. Forces In Belgium
Rounding out two years of hard
work In U. S. army supply opera
tions, the 797th Port company has
been assigned to a major Belgian
port. Pvt. Ernest V. L. Bosworth,
Bend, Ore., is a member of the
unit.
The men, who compose one ot
many U. S. army transportation
corps outfits operating the port,
serve as head checkers, hatch
foremen, crane operators, and In
many other capacities while su
pervising the work of several
thousands of Belgian civilian
dockworkcrs. Each day, thou
sands of tons of war supplies
move from ship to warehouse and
on to forward area depots oy ran,
motor and canal.
After more than a year of op
eration In an English port, the
797th, as a unit of the 517th Port
battalion, landed on Normandy
within 48 hours of the first as
sault troops. The unit discharged
the second vessel to reach the
area, unloading ammunition de
spite attacks by German aircraft.
, They continued to unload vital
supplies from freighters into
landing craft, encountering ma
rine mines and enemy sniiwrs on
the beach. The unit moved on as
the battle of France progressed,
continuing to play an important
part In the battle of supply and
earning two battle participation
stars.
according to word received at the
Bend sub-station by Chief Special

Madame Sand looked up from
her writing desk as the servant
announced Jozef Eisner.
"Who?"
"Professor Eisner, Madame."
"I am not In."
"He has not asked for you,
Madame."
Monsieur Chopin Is not in
either."
"Thank you, Madame.
The servant bowed. Ho was
about to leave. George called him.
"I will see Professor Eisner,
misunderstood the name."
"Thank you, Madame.'
The door closed. George heaved
a sigh. She picked up her pen but
she did not write. She looked at
he paper on her desk, waiting.
Then she heard the door open and
was conscious of Jozef Eisner in
the room but she did not raise her
eyes.
" How do vou do, Madame."
George continued to study the
papers on her desk.
"You had a pleasant journey,
I hope?"
George raised her eyes slowly.
She appeared not to know Jozcf
Eisner.
Ho stood before her, his hat in
his hand. There was a pleasant
smile on his face hut the smile
turned into an expression of dis
appointment when it was apparent
she did not recognize nun, or seem
to. "I am Eisner, Madame. Jozcf
Eisner."
"Yes," she said. "Professor Eis
ner. I rememlx-r."
Jozef Eisner fidgeted with his
hat. "How is Frederic?"
"We were certain you had gone
hack to Poland, 1'rolessor."
"Me? Without Frederic? Oil, no!
Please, I assure you I am right

He would have gone on but he
heard Frederic in the next room,
not his voice, but his music the
piano as only Frederic could play
it. He listened. "You have no idea,
Madame, how that sounds to me."
George did not answer.
"- Would you tell him that I am
here, please?"
"I never interrupt him w hen he
works."
"-Eh?" Jozef Eisner wns a lit

'Frederic doesn't like scenes.
But if you know him so well,
Monsieur, I don't have to tell you
that. For myself, I find them not
the least embarrassing. It were
better you didn't see him."
" Umm."
"That's a plain statement. Mon

living now. Is that plain. Mon

"Very plain, Madame. Yet if vou
don't mind, I should like Frederic
to tell me that himself. Eh? In
fact. I insist on it."
Certainly."
Humph." Jozef Eisner start
ed toward the door to the next
room from whence came the mu
sic of the piano.
I 'ro lessor!
"Eh?"
"One question. Pill you like the
music Frederic wrote in Major
ca?"
Jozef Eisner worked his chin.
"What is it, Madame, you would
nave me say?
"You didn't like II, did you?'
"- Humph. I think. Madame, I
know his abilities as well as any
one. After all, I am his teacher."
"1 hat m u s i c, Monsieur, has
made him the most talked-of com
poser In Europe!"
" Umm, yes. And talked about
in a way, Madame, 1 never
dreamed to hear about my pupil.
Yes! Now you have it. Hu't that's
something else, and I don't quarrel
with him I would never quarrel
with him. Eisner is not a quarrel
ing man. Put now, Madame, there
are other things for him to do
other music for him to write
music that is a little more serious
- the kind of music it has always
been his desire to write. ..."
The words began to tumble ex
citedly. " For twenty years -since he
played his first lesson to me we
looked forward to the day when
he would say in his music that
freedom had come lo the earth and
to all the slaves of the earth, and
.that men in Poland and men far
beyond the borders of our native
land everywhere -were free "
Now his face was red. He trem
bled. 1 lis head wobbled. He looked
toward the adjoining room. He
roared: "Frederic!"
The music in the next room
stopped.
Their eyes-Joef Eisner's and
George Sand's were on the open
door.
No answer.
Jozef Eisner, standing ,in the
center of the room, called again.
" Frederic, it's Eisner! Jozef
Eisner!"
No answer.
Jozef Eisner thrust out his chin.
Frederic!" He stared at the open
door.
The piano resumed. A gay, light,
airy waltz broke the silence.
The Witch of Nohant had tri
umphed. Jozef Eisner had been
unable to break her spell.

War Briefs -
Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(NEA Slat Correspondent)
Washington, D. C.-rBehind the
army's recently announced 18.9
per cent increase in 1945 war pro
duction programs are a number
of factors that may be lost sight
of.
At first glance, any up In plan
ning may look silly. What in the
world have the planners been do
ing for the last three years, that
they should come up nearly 20
per cent low in their estimates at
this late date?
Taking the worst news first,
this has been among other things
the most wasteful war in history.
Because it has been so largely a
war of movement, equipment
that has become temporarily un
serviceable has been discarded in
undreamed-of quantities. The re
sult has been to eat heavily into
reserves.
Take overcoats. Men going into
action don't want to be encum
bered by unnecessary clothing.
They discard overcoats which be
come trampled in snow and mud,
are lost, and eventually have to
be replaced with new issues.
Take walkie-talkie radios. Sol
diers diving for a foxhole fall on
their equipment and break it. Re
placements have been as high as
100 per cent in some units.
You can't say this critically, but
the truth is the American soldier
is in some ways a spoiled boy in
having been led to believe that
there are limitless quantities of
everything to back him up.
Different phasing of the war
accounts for no small percentage
of increased requirements. The
Pacific war is perhaps six months
ahead of schedules anticipated a
year ago, and the European war
is some months behind the opti
mistic expectations of last sum
mer. That has thrown a double
burden on war production, sup
plying two wars. It has creatlv
advanced production schedules I
for supplying the Pacific war,1
which now can't wait.
The speed of advance against
the Japanese has made difficult,
the possibility of transferring
large amounts of supplies from
the European theater to the Pa-:
cific. Everything that can be
moved will be moved but addi
tional contracts have had to be
let to supply replacement equip
ment for the remaining Pacific
battles. !
The rates at which equipment
has worn out and has had to be
replaced have been incalculable,
having varied for each new oper-
ation Africa, Italy, France, New ,
Guinea, the Philiooines. Onlv
now, says Maj.-Gen. Lerov Lutes
of the army service forces staff
in Washington, do the ASF ho-
lieve they have accurate factors
for rates of replenishment on sup-1
yijr ui jic-avjc equipment 10 JU- ;
rope. i
A part of the increased require-1
ments are to build up reserves
which every military commander
believes are necessary. Licut.-Gen.
Brehon Somervell, army service
forces commander, has stated
that there are no combat items
in short supply. But shortages in ;
reserves do exist. I
The way the supply generals
play it, if strikes or submarines
should stop the supply line for
wkcks hi a lime, tne generals in
the field must still have enough
to win their wars.

Hardcndorf brought back fronr
