U. 0. Nash Press
Prints New Volume
University of Oregon, Eugene,
May 23 A historical tale of life in
early California entitled, "Memor
ies: My Seventy-Two Years in the
Romantic County of Yuba, Califor
nia," by W. T. Ellis, a pioneer of
that region, has just been published
by John Henry Nash, lecturer in
typography, at his press at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
It is expected the volume will have
a wide distribution among collectors
of California history and book lovers
who are collecting Nash volumes.
The book is the third to carry the
University of Oregon designation
since the world-famous printer
moved his shop here from San Fran
cisco last fall.
Traffic accidents in the city of
Portland showed a decrease of 19
per cent during the month of April,
Earl Snell, secretary of state, an
nounced today. Two persons were
killed, compared to four killed in
March, 197 were injured compared
to 227 in March and total accidents
were 1,217 compared with 1,509 the
month before.
Gazette Times, Heppner,
Washington, D. G, May 25 Ac
cent on youth is a high note in Pres
ident Roosevelt's national defense
program. Plans now underway pro
vide for the training of thousands of
young men as fliers and 100,000
youths trained as airplane mechan
ics. Nor does the program stop with
aviation. A weeding out of over-age
officers in the army will soon be
undertaken, with approximately 2000
officers being retired annually (on
two-thirds pay), and rapid promo
tion of younger men to commanding
positions.
To speecl up a reserve of fliers, the
war department is now designating
various private flying schools as
institutions for training birdmen. On
the Pacific Coast several in Califor
nia have been given approval. An
even greater demand exists for
skilled mechanics, for a large ground
crew is required for every plane,
Organized labor is apprehensive that
the training of mechanics by the
wholesale will lower wages of me-
chancis now employed in airplane
factories. There will be approximate
ly as many youths instructed in me
chanics as are now enrolled in CCC
and it will give them a trade.
Probably no other plan of Mr.
Roosevelt offers a better solution
for unemployment among young
men than this promotion of aviation,
especially those electing the mechan
ical course; pilots will be given a
retirement age.
Having been a shush-shush sub
ject for several years, now comes
the current issue of Public Health
Reports (May 19) announcing that
a new species of flea in nine west
ern states is a carrier of bubonic
plague. The government publication
declares the flea is a constant men
ace to public health and a serious
epidemic is not impossible. Accord
ing to the report, more than 40 hu
man cases of plague have been at
tributed to contact with wild ro
dents and bites of their fleas in Or
egon, California and Utah.
Congress has been legislating for
several years for the "five basic
commodities" cotton, wheat, corn,
tobacco, rice.- The actual five basic
commodities have been overlooked
entirely, acording to a tabulation
prepared by the bureau of agricul

No. 1 in the commodity prxade. Milk,
and its by-products, brought a gross
income in 1937 of $1,959,411,000; cat
tle and calves came second with
$1,237,422,000; hogs, $1,161457,000,
and poultry (including eggs), $965,
973,000. No government subsidy was
given the five genuine basic com
modities. Subsidies paid to Oregon
farmers from 1933 to 1938 inclusive
were $15,811,455. Subsidies to farm
ers of Washington were $26,381,890.
When a bill is introduced which
affects two or more departments, an
interdepartmental committee is ap
pointed with representatives of each
department sitting in. Two forestry
measures of importance to Oregon
have been sleeping all session be
cause members of the interdepart
mental committee to which the bills
were referred, have been absent
from Washington making speeches.
No one, apparently, thought of des
ignating substitutes so the bills
could be acted upon.
Senators who have been advo
cating "Buy America" and criticis
ing the president for recommending
Argentine corned beef for the na
vy, were red-faced when they dis
covered that the corned beef they
have been eating in the senate res-
turant (waiters have to watch the
spoons and napkins to see that tour
ists do not steal them for souvenirs),
came jin cans from the Argentine.
Mr. Roosevelt had a quiet chuckle.
One senator, to discomfit his col
leagues, had a senate page bring a
can from the restaurant and dis
played it upon his desk.
In the files of the FBI (G-Men to
you), are the fingerprints of Ameri
ca's leading citizen, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. Also in the records are
the ink marks of the digets of John
Nance Garner. In a jiffy these can
be found in the collection of 10,300,
000 other prints. . . . The new am
bassador for Spain is having the
embassy disinfected after its oc
cupancy by his predecessor who rep
resented loyalist Spain. . . . Fastest
talker in the senate is Homer T.
Bone of Washington. He is a trib
ulation to the expert shorthand re
porters who make a stenographic
record of the debates. . . . An east
ern representative, granted permis
sion to "extend my remarks," in
cluded an address his wife gave at a
social affair. ... It is easy to dis
cover what senators dodge a vote.
First comes a quorum call and then
in a few minutes, the roll call. The
members who answer the first and
are absent on the second are the
marked men. One senator votes only
about half the time. . . . Bureau of
Public Roads report on the presi
dent's inquiry as to two national de
fense highways (toll roads), is to be
printed as a public document. Every
road enthusiast will want one. . . .
Foolish questioning when Umatilla

material with which to scuttle it.
The foolish Questions brought out
that power would be necessary to
justify the construction.
SPECIAL Oregon Creamery

the new regulations which lower to

Oregon cooperative creamery re
ports a loss of $2000 since January

ture, insists that the new regula
tions are good for all concerned.
