Eiqht Color Question Still Raging In Portland Portland, Ore., Oct. 21 U.R The turbulent question of whether negroes recruited for Henry Kaiser's three shipyards In this area are skilled or com mon laborers today tossed pre cariously on charges and counter-charges o f discrimination, against both whites and colored workers. A company move to elevate several negroes from the status of common laborers to that of journeymen drew charges of discrimination against white workers from Tom Ray, business agent o the Boilermakers Union. Hay declared the company had refused in the past to per mit experienced native Ore eonians to advance to skilled jobs and that the personnel di rector of the Kaiser yards had "at all times sidetracked the is sue." The union leader further ac cused the company of violating a labor stabilization agreement reached only last Friday, and said that "it looks like we'll have to take the thing in our own hands." The negroes, New York labor recruits, meanwhile had with drawn a strike threat on the basis of the company's acqui escence to demands that several colored workers be classified as journeymen. Spokesmen for the negroes earlier had branded the classifl cations of colored workers as common laborers as discrimina tory. mm? (Continued from Pago 5) committee in charge.

Martin complimented the com munity on the backing that it is: giving the USO and on the gen-! uine interest that its members were displaying in the service men and their welfare. Noting that men in the service will naturally find their way to the larger cities, Martin said ho felt that the need of additional facilities at the Salem center, which has already been demon strated by the large" number of servicemen who frequent the center, not only over the week end but also on week days, would be even greater when Camp Ad air receives its full quota of en listed men. Publicity Approved Receiving the endorsement of the regional supervisor was the excellent publicity given the Sa lem center by bulletins sent out to Camp Adair and army out posts, signs placed about the city and articles in local newspapers and the weekly publication at Camp Adair. Martin, who was on one of his regular trips up the coast in his capacity as organizer and super visor, was en route to Mcdford from Portland when ho stopped in Salem.

LINGHAM, WASHINGTON Salem, Oregon Packers Win In Suit Against Fishermen San Francisco, Oct. 21. UP) The Columbia River Packers' association, incorporated, won an injunction against the Pacific Coast Fisherman's union today in a decision of the U. S. circuit court of appeals which brought the union within the scope of Sherman anti-trust laws. The union, whose members catch more than 90 per cent of the Columbia river fish, had re fused to deliver their catch to the packers' association after the association had turned down the union's request for a con tract in 1939. The packers ob tained an injunction in the fed eral court at Portland, but this decision later was reversed by the circuit court here. An ap peal by the packers to the Uni ted States supreme , court brought approval of the injunc tion. The circuit 'court listened to new arguments in the case and today reversed its previous ruling. The case has been followed with wide interest in legal and industrial circles. Attorneys said the circuit court, ruling at first' in favor of the union, ap parently was guided by the su preme court decision in the fa mous Apex hosiery case, in which it was. held a union boy cott of silk stockings could not be enjoined under the anti-trust laws in a labor dispute.

NOTIONS DEPARTMENT THE WAR TODAY - By DEWITT London, Oct. 21 There are, as pointed out in yesterday's article, fewer than 200 prime targets the American and British bombers need to destroy in France and Germany in order to render Hitler so vulnerable that the allies could roll their army over him and end the war by next fall. These targets comprise nazidom's chief war industries, and all-important rail communi cations and rolling stock. In short, they represent the sourc es of much of the fuehrer's striking power and the means of moving that power into action. In order- to achieve this de struction quickly and thereby prevent great prolongation of the war, American and British bomber forces based in this country would have to be in creased heav i 1 y. Moreover, they would have to be aug mented immediately. And how much air power would be needed to carry out this program? Obviously, no attempt can be made to give detailed figures in this article since that would provide information for the en emy. However, it can be said that if these two forces were trebled within the next couple of ! months, the Anglo-American al lies could achieve enough by spring so that an invasion army could be got into operation. Transfers Suggested Of course, it leaves a lot to the imagination to talk about trebling the bomber forces when the reader doesn't know what the present fleets are. Still, au thoritics who do know the fig ures will recogni-e that this would be a feasible expansion Indeed, some military experts insist the present scale of bomb ing could be increased 10 times. but that strikes me as being on ideal which could not be- at taincd in the near future. This concentration of air force in Britain would be mot (1) By current production in both countries; (2) By transferring warplancs from other activities which could spare them for this major operation in western Europe. In this second category might fall some of the submarine scouting now being carried on by war planes with the expendi ture of a maximum amount of labor for a minimum of re sults. As pointed out yesterday, the ideal place to get a submarine with bombers is at the building' base and not after the U-boat has started to roam the seas. Emphasis must be placed on speed in providing bomber rein forcements. Hitler should not be allowed to use the winter months to repair the grievous damage he has suffered in the Russian campaign, Bochc Not Idle Then there's another point which affects the American rrtrh $ I 1 IS 1 V I l f MACKENZIE force directly. We are having great success with our new. heavily-armored, heavily-armed ishingly small losses. ! This is due in large degree to I the fact that the Flying Fort- j ress is so protected that it can pretty well fend for itself against fighter - planes. It is both a bomber and a fighter. But that is sure to be a pass ing phase. The nazis are not able to cope with the Fortress now because this giant machine is a new weapon for which they were not prepared. It won't be new long, however. Science marches fast these days and we may expect the Boche to de velop a defense. Thus it is up to use to give Hitler a chance to devise a means to beat the fortresses before they have taken a full toll among vital targets. Now is the ap pointed hour when the bombers can dot the most damage with the least danger to' themselves. The destruction' already achieved by the American and British bomber fleets along Hit ler's western front is staggering. I have spent many hours re cently with high power magnify ing glasses studying enlarged airpholos of the damage done in raids on such cities as Rostok, i Luebeck, Cologne, Lille, Ducs scldorf and Emden. You would not believe such devastation possible unless you saw it under the lens.
