Congress Deaf
To Draft Pleas
Washington, April 21 VP) A
"try-to-get-it" attitude was the
reaction of the house military
committee today to a joint
army-n a v y-maritjme commis
sion request for labor draft leg
islation. The joint recommendation
followed by les sthan five hours
the committee's report on draft
deferments generally and 4-Fs
in particular. Briefly, the com
mittee held that existing law
was adequate to allow govern
ment agencies to force into lim
ited military service 4-F's and
men between 38 and 45 who re
fuse to take jobs in essential in
dustry when jobs are available
The committee long has op
posed compulsory labor legisla
tion and without its backing
such legislation cannot reach the
house floor.
"We have spoken and we
meant what we said," Chairman
May D., Ky.), declared when
asked if the joint recommenda
tion might persuade the commit
tee to alter its position. "My
committee made a report saying
we do not need new legislation
after hearing heads of the gov
ernment gencies involved. Just
why they should wail until right
after we have made our report
before they make their recom
mendation is beyond me. If
they have any recommendations
for legislation they should come
to congress with them."
Rep. Costello (D., Calif.), who
headed the sub-committee that
made the deferment study pre
dicted there Would be no labor
legislation this year.

Halifax Warns
Force Needed
Ann Arbor, Mich., April 21 U.B
Lord Halifax, British ambas
sador to the United States,
warned today that winning the
peace will not be a quick or easy
affair and cautioned that unless
pacts and treaties are backed
by force, "sooner or later
Hitler or a Tojo or a Mussolini
will rise to challenge them.1
Halifax, addressing the hon
ors convocation at the univer
sity of Michigan, in which he
was awarded the honorary de
gree of doctor sf letters, said
that "the same good intentions'
toward a lasting peace after
the first world war remained
danger to international security
in the present one.
"There is no magic in victory
which bv itself wiii set the world
to rights," he said, "It will be
the same world, only it will be
torn and battered by the havoc
of war. We shall be the same
people, though, as we may ex
pect, tempered hy suffering and ;
wasted by strain".
Meal Famine
Fears Vanish
Washington, April 21 W
The war food administration
said today that meal famine
fears, "stirred by earlier dire
predictions," are subsiding in
the face of pork and beet sup
plies exceeding those of a year
ago. In an open letter to the
food Irade, the WFA said en
ough meat will be available for
the second quarter of 194 Ap
ril through June to allow civil
ians a per capita consumption at
Die yearly rate of 139 pounds or
about 13 pounds more than the
pre-war average fo 1935-39.
First quarter per capita con
sumption reflecting special pork
ration bonuses and reduced ra
tion values of beef, was at the
yearly rate, the WFA said, of
158 pounds. For the last two
quarters of 1844, per capita con
sumption must necessarily be
lighter, the WFA said.
Comparing the present jjitua
tion with that of a year ago, the
WFA said that nearly twice as
many sheep and lambs are be
ing marketed and that at least
a fourth more meat is in storage.

Air Transport in
Daily Service
Seattle, April 21 Daily
freight and passenger runs from
Seattle to Alaska have been in
operation by the naval air trans
port service squadron tor almost
two years, the 13th naval dis
trict revealed today.
Service was installed in July,
1942. The Japs still were en
camped on Kiska island when
the first 6000-mile round trip
to Attu was made, but the NATS
pilots simply flew their unh
armed cargo planes around
them.
Skipper of squadron five is
200-pound Cmdr. Henry Hol-
lenbeck, a native of Salt Lake
City, who had 'right around"
15,000 flying hours with a com-1
mereia! airline before he was
called into the navy in Janu
ary, 1942.
More than half of the planes
in use on this run are two-engined
ships, but the workhorse
of the flight are the big four
engined Douglass, known offi
cially as the RFD, but called
affectionately, from the admiral
down, the "Clunk,"
Freight cargoes for an aver
age month range from 45Q.VUO
to 800,000 pounds, with an av
erage of 170,000 pounds of mail,
and 3500 passengers, mostly
military.
Casualties on the run have
been extremely rare. In Au
gust, 1942, Lt. Cmdr, Jerome
H, Sparbo and his crew dis
appeared between Yakatat and
Whiiehorse. No trace of wreck
age ever was found. It was this
tragedy which occBsioned the
regulation requiring that two al
ternate fields be open before a
plane leaves the ground for a
flight into the land vhere fog
blankets fields in a matter of
minutes and strong williwaws
come up without notice.
Kaiser Contract
Renegotiated
Washington, April 21 WP-
The maritime commission an
nounced today that renegotia
tion agreement with the Ore- j
gon Shipbuilding corporation,
sealing $6,322,954 in excess
profits from the. Portland ship-j
yard's first five contracts, has
been adopted as a "basic for-
mula" for renegotiation with all
yards in the original Liberty
ship construction program.
The net income of the Henry
J. Kaiser yard for building its
first 181 Liberty ships, was an
nounced as $4,537,302, after re
ncgollation and deduction of es
timated taxes.
This amounts to about $25,000
a ship, or a profit of about one
and one-half per cent of the cost
of each vessel.
The Portland shipyard was
outstanding in the reduction of
its man-hours per vessel, a key
element in the commission's In
centive system, which provided
bonus payment for improvement
in lhe man-hour Tecords.
In terms of money saved this
has reduced the cost of Liberty
ships to apiiroximately $157 per
deadweight ton," the commis
sion announced, as compared
to about $210 for the Hog Is
land vessels of the last war,
despite the very substantial in
crease in wage rates that now
prevail over that earlier pe
riod." Japs Aim

point about 10 mHes west ol the I
Hne and indicated that an cs-1
cape corridor of: only about 30 I
mHes existed for the Chinese I
forces in the Chenghsiert area. I
The Japanese column strik
ing toward Chenghslen from the
east had brought the city un
der shell fire, it was stated.
Chinese, battling to keep
open the corridor, suffered and
Inflicted high losses, the high
command declared.
Missionary quarters said the
American and British embas
sies had advised sii their na
tionals to evacuate the Peip-ing-Hankow
raiyway region.
Aside from seizure of commu
nications, the Japanese were be

Charles EckJcjnan, owner ot

mah eoujiiy, wlio became inter
ested in the dairy industry as
a delivery boy in lhe city ol
New York declared belore
members of the Salem Lions
culb Thursday noon thai agri
culture and business must work
hand in hand il this country is
to solve the economic prob
lems which will follow the
close of the war. He pointed to
statistics to show that when
agriculture's income slacked
off, it was followed by hard
times throughout all Hnes sf
endeavor. He stated that the 1
to 1 ratio of agriculture In
come to that of the entire coun
ty was maintained fairly consis
tent in poor as well as prosper
ous times.
Eckleman recalled the days
when the dairy industry was
paying poor wages because the
busines was not in a position to
do better. He became convin
ced that a high national income
was a good economic program
and still maintains that the only
way fo keep the country sol
vent is to provide all citizens
with good incomes.
Taking notice of the high rate
of rejections for physical rea
sons of men selected for the
armed services, Eckleman said
perhaps the basic reason was
one of lack of proper nourish
ment at the time the young men
