Nation Raises Bulwark
Against Third World War
Br SAM DAWSON
New York. Nov. 12 W) The nation paused Friday to re.
member Its dead of former wars it paused momentarily. In
the midst of its drive to raise bulwarks against another one.
Stockpiling of strategic war material is one way to make ready.
Uprooting whole Industries from the two coasts and scattering
them through the midianas k
another step we are about to
take.
Subsidizing, In one form or
another, industries we would
need, and need badly and quick
lv. In the event of war Is still
another. Examples: the aircraft
builders and the" ilrlines.
Arming our friends In Eu
rope, and sharpening our own
defensive and offensive weap
ons and at the same time hop
lng that the three branches of
our military power will be awe
some day soon to work together
is an even more direct course
And preparing members of the
armed forces to understand in
dustrial problems a widespread
practice in our universities just
now is still another step to
ward getting our factories quick
ly onto a wartime production
basis.
Stockpiling has two aspects.
One is the physical storing away
of things the military must have
to fight a war. The other is de
veloping new sources of ma
terials, and keeping old ones
alive and kicking. Some ob
servers think one is as im
portant as the other.

The children will have pictures
showing Armistice in 1918. The

To get enough petroleum for
war or peace, says Walter G
Whitman, of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, the na
tion should:
Develop better methods of
finding oil; hunt more actively
for It; restrict output from new
fields to keep more in readi
ness; develop Canadian fields
and stockpile oil field and pipe
line steel.
The government Is working
hard at producing oil from the
western shale deposits, so that
we could be independent of for
eign sources.
Private industry is trying to
reduce the cost of making gaso
line from coal Natural petro
leum is cheaper, but the time
might come when the costly shale
and coal methods would be a
necessity.
Strategic metals producers
have been seeking a govern
ment subsidy to develop the
poorer ore bodies in the west
that can't stand alone In a com
petitive market. Copper men.
for example, point out that the
nation can t afford not to keep
copper mining going. As it is.
It takes two or three months
to change ore into refined cop
per. And we couldn't afford to
wait to open up the marginal
mines, too, they argue.
Synthetic rubber plants are
also kept going in this coun
try under the government's or
ders, even though that pains
the British, who would like to
sell us more of their natural
rubber. But the source of na
tural rubber might be lost again,
as it was to the Japanese, and
we'd need the synthetic plants
We are stockpiling natural rub
ber, too, but that has been a
revolving hoard, since it won't
keep forever, and must move in
and out of government ware
houses. We are dependent on the Brit
ish, Dutch and Bolivians for all
our tin. And we are stockpiling
that, too.
FIGURES TROUBLE AHEAD OF TIME
Mechanical Brain Checks
Planes Before They Fly
Dallas. Tex. U. A giant computer, which engineers suspect
can do about anything except eat and sleep, imitates an airplane
in flight at the Chance Vought aircraft plant here. It does Its
tricks even before the airplane is built.
The computer, lent by the Navy's research section for use In
Vought's plant on the outskirts
of Dallas, is operated by elec
tronics.
To hear the engineers describe
the process, it's simple. They ad

The time is coming when the
Columbia river's Bonneville
project and California's central
valley will be integrated for el
ectric power, Rep. Clair Engle
(D-Calif.) told a press confer
ence. "And this will be to the mu
tual benefit of the people of Cal
ifornia and of Oregon and
Washington," Engle predicted.
"There are periods when there
is a great waste of power output
at Bonneville. If the two systems
were integrated, that waste pow
er could be transferred to Cali
fornia through central valley to
relieve shortages."
Four Salem Women
Injured in Wreck
Four Salem women on their
way to a National Secretaries'
association convention in Taco
ma, were hospitalized in Port
land Friday afternoon with in
juries received in a four-car
pile-up. None of the injuries are
serious.
Injured were Lois Manning,
379 Richmond, driver, secretary
to the state insurance commis
sioner; Mrs. Ruby B. Hughes,
720 Mill, a county court report
er; Doris A 1 b i n, 2085 Raynor,
stenographer in the office of the
McKillop lnsu ranee company
and Anne Anderson, S01 N. Win
ter, cashier for the Zellerbach
Paper company.
Driver of the lead car, Alvin
A. Olstedt, Portland, told Mult
nomah county police that his en
gine had stalled about two
blocks south of North Denver
avenue on NE Union avenue and
although the driver behind him
swerved and avoided a collision,
three others were not so fortu
nate. The last two vehicles were
badly damaged.
Miss Manning has chest inju
ries; Miss Anderson knee inju
ries and bruises; Mrs. Hughes a
possible broken wrist and a
bruised right leg and Miss Albin
bruises.
Only one other of the 11 per
sons in the four cars was in
jured, Marga ret Buschmann,
Marysville, Calif., driver of the
third car, was treated for bruis
es and dismissed from hospital
ization. and production workers would
have incorporated It into an ex
perimental airplane.
If it did not produce exactly
the expected results when tested,
however, another rudder would
have to be built. That would re
sult in further delay In comple
tion of the airplane.
