. Ithel Adlard, who as an ex
change student from Willam
ette university in China a few
years ago, criticized the United
States government for permit
ting scrap iron shipments to
Japan, has seen his stand justi
fied. He is, however, with the
United States forces In Italy now
battling the Germans and has
been twice wounded, and for a
time had both legs in casts. He
is with a tank unit. In a letter
to a family friend, Mrs. Chancey
Gell, 701 North Church, he
makes some interesting com
ment on the war. He writes in
part:
"There is much I could write
but little of interest. After
these few years of war one cas
ually reads the news and thinks
nothing of a thousand or more
lives lost. This was best illus
trated ... In the B.A.F. by news
of organizations regarding a
postponement of the invasion
until Germany had a chance to
surrender, as if lt would accom
plish the purpose of war. I
should like those leaders to
spend a week or so at the front
and witness the truth. There
was a time when the German
was a clean fighter, but no
more. Their murdering of our
first aid men by small-arm
sharpshooters, and In such cold
blood, has caused a hate that
none of us here will ever over
come. It Is no wonder that we
are convinced only a dead Ger
man Is a good German. I am
glad I had the opportunity of
making a few good Germans,
too, and will be at it again soon.
As long as I must be over here,
I prefer it that way. I am up
and around and busy helping
the patients who are less for
tunate. The endless rows of
beds and criplcs is a sight the
strikers back there should see.
I read to a boy who has no eyes
and one leg gone, another with
both legs off, and many other
such cases. The hospital once
had a pretty yards. In it are
several varieties of palms and
the most beautiful ginkgo which
in itself Is a rare botanical spe
cimen." '

Alaska, with headquarters at
Seattle.
This marks the first contract
of a union with this branch of
the company, said George B.

to join a union in time of war,
Noble explained.
Wage rates granted by the
board set up the same job classi
fications as in the Portland
cannery of the company, except
that allowance was made for
the Willamette valley differ
ential. On the issue of hours the
board ruled that present prac
tice shall continue except that
during the processing season
all hours worked over 10 in any
one day shall be paid at the
rate of time and a half. The
adjustment was made effective
as of September 24, 1943.
In the case of Reinholdt &
Lewis, Salem (no union), modi
fied approval was given a re
quest for increased wage rates
as follows:
Bookkeeper and stenograph
er, $26 to $31.50 a week; shade
manufacturer and installer, 95
cents an hour; jig operator, 80
cents an hour; riveters, 80 cents;
common laborers, 80 cents; box
inspectors, 95 cents; stencilers
and packers, 95 cents; painters'
helper, 95 cents; sawyers,
$1.12; mailers, $1.124; fore
man, $1.25; painters, $1.15. Ef
fective date February 22, 1943.
