I Neoro Wacs Hear Sentences Fort Devenp. Mas. March 21 (p. Convicted of refusal to obey orders, four noaro Wacs wore sentenced last niflht to one year at hard labor and to be discharged dishonorably, The quartet had contended they were ordered to perform menial task in Lovell general hospital because of their color.

During the court martial, Pvt. Alice D. Young of Washington testified that Col. Walter M. Crandall, commanding officer of the hospital, had told her "they want no black Wac? at the mo tor pool" after she had request ed a transfer to the pool on March 9. Private Young's state ment was supported by Pvt. Al berta Goss of Tuscumbia, Ala., a witness. The two Wacs testified that they felt there was discrimina tion because white Wacs were not forced to do the same type of work as negro personnel and because, they said Col. Cran jrlall told them negro Wacs were -Jsupposed to do "the dirty work." Trial and sentences are sub ject to review by high army of ficials, Major Leon E. McCar thy, trial judge advocate, stated.

"Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our farmers, and in spite of the tremendous food needs of the direct war effort," he said, "we remain the best fed nation of the world, wartime or peacetime. "Certainly civilian meat will be shorter than at any time dur ing the war but that arises from the extraordinary needs of the war effort. Moreover, and this is the vital point, the shortage would not be relieved in any degree by higher returns to the packers. "OPA will not be stampeded into giving price increases."

II kt:-:. -miH . o w m - d . tar 4 - czm'Msr THIS MAP shows that over 73 per cent of the land in the Douglas fir region is growing trees. The timber crop will follow the virgin forest as a source of industry and pay-rolls. The map shows we have: 25,800,000 acres of forcitcd ond foresr-growirtg lond, out of a total of 35,100,000 acres. 14,500,000 acre, of saw timber, with an over all stand of 490 billion feet. Two-thirds of this acreage is natural old-growlh; the other third is second-growth now over 16 inches in diameter. 7,800,000 ocroi of qrowinq forest. Two-thirds of this area has trees from 6 tn 16 inches in diameter; the olher third has smaller saplings and seedlings. 1,500,000 ocrci recently eut-ovor. 150,000 to 200,000 acres are logged every year and three-fourths of these harvested areas reseed naturally and promptly. 2,200,000 acres of Burns ond Other lands not yet restocked. Beside the State and Federal Nurseries, an industry nursery is producing five or six million seedlings every year for replanting this land. Over 2,000,000 acres of Treo Farms. Fifty-ona ownerst farmers and timber companies, are et up in the permanent business of growing trees. 47 per cent of this great forest resource, In acres, is owned by the county, State and Fed eral governments; 53 per cent by farmers and industrialists. The cooperation of these public and private owners in forest management and protection is one of our real assets as a timber growing region. So is the support of its people in con trolling forest fires through such activities as Keep Oregon Green and Keep Washington Green. As more forest growth is assured, new forest industries come in for further process ing or use of waste; and bring new pay-rolls with them. Here is one of the great post-war oppor tunities for the Pacific Northwest. WEST COAST ASSOCIATION MILLS IN OREGON 14, ini KirTiiiXpiir irrirfu mrrnmtt hImiW
