TO YOUTH CLUB MEMBERS ;
This newspaper, we think, and persons associated with
it, have contributed in equal measure with any other group in
the community in the promotion of the Bend youth club.
Since the club's organization we have been glad to present the
news regarding it and we are now giving space for reports,
notices and communications prepared by members for mem
bers. We have supported the club financially. Accordingly, we
feel that we are justified and entirely within the proprieties
of the situation to ofTer the following suggestion to the club
and its members.
The suggestion is that this group and its members not
now fully engaged in out-of-school employment engage them
selves in a war associated activity or oiler their services
on a pay basis, of course tor the many little cnores ana ouu
jobs there are to be done around town. It would be a splendid
thing if from the earnings from such work they contributed
to the support of their own club sums in addition to their
monthly dues rather than to depend entirely on public sub
scriptions for the purpose. There are bound to be drones as
well as workers in the group, however, and the latter may
be unwilling to support the former. Among humans the spirit
of the hive is lacking. The
out in the community and, in doing so, help in tne war eiiort,
help themselves and make some return for what is being done
for them.
P'or a war associated activity take the matter of paper
collection. The work is being done now by the junior chamber
of commerce. It is necessarily sporadic. Collections are by no
means what they would be were more helpers available for
regular work. Our guess is that
if youth club crews took on the.
calls lor more ana more paper, vvny not a youth ciuo con
tribution to the cause?
- Such an undertaking would call, of course, for an organiz
ing head. For chores and odd jobs the club might maintain a
call board or job agency.
We know of one Oregon community in a neighborhood of
extensive summer vegetable farming. Truck loads ot youths
went out every morning in the past season to help in the farm
and garden work. Something of the sort can be done here in
Bend to meet employment needs and to give our youth an op
portunity to contribute on behalf of those who are contribut
ing to them. ,
The gag that we tried to make has been achieved by the
Albany Democrat-Herald with the following:
It has probably occurred to a good many people by now
that the Kussians got the Oder long before we uncorked .
Cologne.
All Japanese schools but the first grade will close for a
year beginning April 1. Instruction from that date will be by
Americans.' ' , , . , .'

BEND VIEW . .
(Klamath Herald & News)
The Bend Bulletin praises Sen
ator Marshall Cornet! for his con
tinued effort lo end inequities in
senatorial representation in Ore
gon. The Bend paper sees merit In
the new proposal for a conslilu -
tional amendment to add one sen
ator, and the accompanying bill
to divide the 17th district in es
tablishing a new and additional
senatorial district. Decrying the
defeat of the first re-apportionment
bill, the Bend edilor says
that a "constitutional method is
apparently ihe onlv answer, so
far as Ihe righls of the 17th are
concerned."
Because Klamath has the heavy
population in tne Kin district,

appears that re-apportionment Is
really more important to the'tual benefit: w odwasns. fr in
northern parts of the district than stance, that attack coniferous

This newspaper has consistent

a matter of fairness to the entire

fashion. Multnomah draws a
great ileal of economic sustenance
from the state as a whole, and
we think there is merit in upstate
representation that is compara
tively strong, on the strict basis
of population. It that Idea will
stand up under public opinion,
and we think it will, why not do
it in a straightforward way and
get rid of an old bugaboo that
prevents the elimination of such
Inequities as exist in the 17th
district.

I never knew how long Booker
had been watching us. I was my
nisi experience witn his habit of
omnipresence. He stood just in
side the revolving door with a
tiny stub of cigaret between his
lips. As soon a.s he. saw that I
saw him, he came Inward me.
"Well, Trenl," he said, "this Is
a surprise." He lilted his head
in the direction ot the tlark eved
girl across the lobby. "You !wo
should meet. !
"Who?" .
Booker laughed. i
"The lady in the tippet. The
one you've been receiving 'fair, ,
speechless messages' from."

She Race me her hand. It was ,

I du down in the morass of
the First Harbinger

That name had a very familiar
sound. Then I came up with 1940's

"Nicholas Trent," she said and
she appeared to repeat the name
to herself. Her voice was amaz
ingly rich and deep. She glanced
swiftly up at Booker with the
faintest hint 01 question, then
looked back at me.
Booker smiled thinly.
"I've been trying to get Trent
to join me in a little enterprise,
but he seems to lack the acquisi-
tive instinct."'
"That is where you make your
mistake, Booker," she said. "You
judge everyone by your own
standards." She turned to me.
"Did he tell you what the enter
prise was, Mr. Trent?
No.
I saw her face relax and she
said to Booker:
"Perhaps that Is where you
made your mistake."
Booker stiffened. The little
clefts at the corners of his mouth
turned while. With his bony hand
he fingered his chin.
"You can't expect to interest a
man in any other way," she con
tinued simply. "Where are you
staying, Mr. Trent?"
"At a friend's, until I can get
an apartment."
"Here in the city?" she asked.

sight of Charley coming through

"1 have an engagement," 1 said,
"It lias been pleasant."
A strange look came into Magda
Calavestri's eyes. I sensed that
she wanted desperately to tell me
something, but was prevented by
Booker's presence.
"I'm sorry you have to leave,
Mr. Trcrit," she saitl evenly. She

and I felt the pressure of some
thing hard and cold in my palm.
"I hope we may meet again soon.
Meanwhile I should advise that
you avoid like the plague this
Insistent individual." She gave
Booker a long, significant look.
"His insincts are wholly preda
tory and his impulses are never
good."
Booker bowed elaborately.
"Thank you, my dear Calaves

to compensate somehow for my
lack of charm."
I had something ln my hand.
Something that Magda Calavestri
had given me. And as I turned
to go, I saw her lips frame the
word: "Tonight." ,

(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington -7 Henry. Wallace
wasn't enough of a businessman
to be head of the 14 billion dollar
federal loan agency and recon
struction finance corporation set
up, so the president nominated
Judge Frederick Moore Vinson,
whose past business experience
seems to have included director
ships of 10 million dollar bank
at Ashland, Ky., and a two mil
lion dollar bank in his home town
of Louisa, Ky., plus a little dab
bling in real estate along with his
Louisa law practice.
Having a big operator of these
qualifications at the head of the
biggest banking combination in
the world makes everybody in
Washington happy, including
both Henry Wallace and Jesse
Jones.
Whatever Inconsistency you
may find in this turn of events
is further accentuated by a closer
scrutiny of some of Judge Vin
son's acts in the two years that
he has been director of economic
stabilization.
You may remember the busi
nessmen's battle on subsidies
evil, corrupting, un-American sub
sidies. OES Director Vinson not
only supported them but ordered
them put on canned vegetables
and flour and such staples.
Not only that, but it was Judge
Vinson who ordered the ceiling
put on live cattle back in October,
1943. Remember how that was
damned by those stalwart busi
nessmen, the farmers and stock
men? Further to demonstrate his
sympathies for business,

Increases for the railroads and he

Increase In the price of crude oil.
Perhaps the high point in Vin
son's record as a pro-businessman
came In the fall of 1943 when he
issued a directive to war produc
tion board and office of price ad
ministration empowering those
agencies to order production of
essential civilian goods at manu
facturers' costs or a maximum
of costs plus 2 per cent. This was
the famous "profit limitation" di
rective which scared industry half
to death and brought businessmen
scampering down- to Washington
to find out what went on.
Opposition to this directive be
came so acute that early in 1944
Judge Vinson issued a "clarifying
statement' which in effect sucked
back the worst part of the order
by saying it was to apply only to
textiles. Actually, the directive
was used In only a few instances
and is today practically a dead
letter.
But this is the closest the ad
ministration ever came to limit
ing the profits of business, and
it was issued over the signature
of this same Fred M. Vinson who
now is named to head the biggest
bank in the world, organized to
save business.
This other side of Judge Vin
son's record is being recalled in
Washington today not in any ef
fort to belittle his abilities but
merely to put in proper perspec
tive the popular conception that
he is the perfect answer to a con
servative banker's prayer, an
other Jesse Jones. .
