"Because of the importance of this project to the economic future of the Pacific northwest and the nation, we ask that tech nicalities be minimized to per mit the making of an immedi ate appropriation." The proposed project would provide irrigation for 1,029,000 acres in central Washington.

To the Editor: In the splen did editorial which you publish ed two days ago in commenda tion of the Nurses Aid Corps of Marion ' county chapter of the Americman Red Cross, you mentioned four women whose devotion, intelligence and lead ership contributed greatly to the success of the crops. You omitted, however, the name of one woman to whom unstinted credit is due. The omission was due solely, I am sure, to your policy of refraining from pub lishing the names of members of your family. The individual ployment in war industries is whom I have in mind is Eliza- being terminated."

It was Miss Putnam who first conceived of the plan for a Nurses Aid Corps and who selected Mrs. Breyman Boise as its leader. Likewise it was Miss Putnam who recognized the un usual capacity of Mrs. Louise Arneson as a teacher and who induced her to become the in structor of the nurses aid classes. Finally in the meetings of the board of directors of our chap ter your sister continually sup ported and backed up the pro gram of the Nurses Aid Corps. Mrs. Breyman Boise, Mrs. Floyd Utter, Miss Katharine Ad lord and Mrs. Louise Arneson are entitled to great credit for their unselfish constancy in the work of the Nurses Aid Corps.

GEORGE ROSSMAN, Chairman Marion County Chapter, Am erican Red Cross. obey laws passed by the people themselves. On the other hand, the inhabitants of a nation which is under nazi, fascist or communist rule, or any other kind of totalitarian rule, must obey a man whose word is law and from whose law there is no appeal. He can make or amend laws according to his will or his whim. The United States Is a com bination of the republic and the democracy. Some of its laws are made by the representatives of the people, and some of its laws are adopted by the people themselves, who vote directly on them. Whenever we permit a bur eau, a board or a commission to be appointed or created that has authority to make rules as it sees fit, and which rules the people must obey, we are defi nitely edging away from the basic principle of the republic and the democracy and are inch ing into totalitarianism. We are, in effect, giving a man the power to make laws according to his will or his whim, which the people must obey. Already there are a number of bureaus, boards and. commissions, -both in the federal government and in the state governments. Their very existence establishes a dan gerous precedent. The camel is getting its head into the tent. Will we preserve the republic and the democracy? A repub lic and a democracy that go to sleep may wake up to find them selves dictatorships. There is always the element in every na tion that is watching keen-eyed for the chance to dominate and exploit the rest. There is an old saying that whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.

Do you know that now . . . through ENDOCREME . . . scientific research has answered the above question for thousands and thousands of women with an emphatic "yes"? Moreover, it is doing this to a degree hitherto thought impossible. This is because ENDOCREME helps improve the skin itself, not merely its superficial appearance. How? Well, only ENDOCREME contains ACnVOL". This ACTTVOL" is a scientific replacement for woman's own skin-vitalizing substance. Absorbed by the skin, it helps to restore normal growth to ageing cells and tissue. Thus it aids the skin of face and throat to become firm, fresh, "alive," vibrantly youthful again.

Cancellation of contracts for eight CVE-105 type escort car riers at the Kaiser Vancouver yard was the first major set back in this area under the navy's curtailment program. The only yard not likely to be hard hit by V-day cutbacks is Atbina Engine and Machine Works, now building four lum ber cargo ships for post-war coastwise trade and 20 smaller island vessels for the Nether lands East Indies government. Commercial Iron Works has six 100-foot harbor tugs on the ways and Gunderson Brothers has four 65-foot tugs in various stages of completion. A sixth is being outfitted. The Kaiser yards reported victories and three AP5 trans ports under construction at Ore gon shipyard, 12 C-4 transports at Vancouver and eight T2 tankers at Swan Island. Outfitting firms may com plete existing contracts, yard men believed. Firemen Use Assembly Line Seattle, Aug. 13 W) Forest fire fighters have adopted an assembly line technique in re verse. Chief Forester E. H. Mac- Daniels of the West Coast Lum bermen's association said Sat urday. I "Since the fire can't be put on a conveyor and brought to the fire control force," he wrote in an article, prepared for the press, "the force lines up in the right order and moves in on the fire. "Every man has only one function and only one tool to worry about. The axmen fol low the line locator. They clear a space for the rest of the crew to work in. Brush, low hang ing limbs, branches and small tops on the ground are cut to I make a fireline." j Next come men wielding a tool called the pulaski, a com bination axe and hoe designed to improve the fire trail. Then a snag falling crew moves in. A burning out crew follows to backfire from the fireline and then a holding crew arrives to put out spot fires and watch for breaks in the line. "The mop-up crew starts at the edge of the fire and works toward the center, putting it all out as they go," MacDaniel said. "Last comes the ptarol. No matter how careful the mopper uppers have been it's most un likely that they got everything. Until two or three Inches of rain or a foot of snow have fallen on the fire it will bear watching." LYFN atomic bomb is already to make it movie debut, Producer Darryl F. Zaiuick announced today. Zanuck said that a full length picture centering about the "A bomb" was completed by his company under the title "The House on 92nd Street." Story of the development ol the atomic bomb was withheld from the scenario until the White House announced use of the bomb against Japan. Rev. R. T.

He came to Salem from Central Free Methodist church of Portland. loving diabolical element of Germany went stark, raving mad, so mad that it caused itself to be destroyed. Seemingly Ja pan will do the same thing, all of 'which" is" a working out of the proverb that evil eventual ly destroys itself. Perhaps this planet has come to the point in its course when the evil forces which love war and practice atrocities will be banished from this sphere, nev er permitted to return. But If that condition comes to pass, human beings must bring it about, for God works through human beings on this planet. The atomic bomb may be a good way to help banish the Japs. Who knows a better way? Charles T. McPherson, 1017 S. W. 11th Ave., Portland, Oregon. Plenly ol Problems Faced by Herman Seattle, Aug. 13 (U.R) The end of the war when it comes is going to have particular signi ficance for one Washington resident. This week-end Albert L. Har man, 47, Port Angeles, Wash., pleaded guilty to violations of OPA regulations including slaughtering without quota, selling ungraded meat, and charging above ceiling prices. He was fined $1000 and a one year sentence was suspen ded. But and perhaps only the end of the war and war time regulations will solve it a big problem for Harman remains. He has been adjudged 250,000 points in arrears. Bengston Heads Child Care Group Representative O. H. Beng ston of Jackson county has been selected as chairman, and Rep resentative J. O.

Capital Journal Salem, Oregon, Monday, Aug. 13, 19457 Acquittal for Mike Steinbock Portland. Aug. 13 After de liberating 11 hours, the Jury in Judge James Alger Fee's Unit ed States district court brought n a verdict of not guilty in the war production Doara case against Mike Steinbock, Salem night club operator. Steinbock, who was indicted June 14, was tried on two counts: making fraudulent state ments in applying for permis sion to build a restaurant in Salem and violation of a war conservation order in erecting the building. J. Robert Pat terson, United States attorney, contended that- Steinbock's ap plication was for a "lunch room from wnicn to serve war workers: that its estimated cost was S5.000, and that in reality it was used as a night club and built at a cost of $16,000. The establishment op erates as "Leonard'! Supper Club." Steinbock claimed the ap plication was made in good faith and that he stopped serv ing lunches only when no war workers materialized to eat them. He also said his plans were submitted to WPB and were so designed as to indicate that the place might be used for a night club. He was de fended by William T. Hedlund.
