Washington, D. C, July 10 There
is concern over whether the boys of
the national guard of Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana, which
constitute the 41st division under
Maj. Gen. George A. White of Sal
am, and the several thounsand draf
tees from those states who are un
dergoing one year of military train
ing, will be released when the year
is up. If Secretary of War Henry
L. Stimson has his way these boys
will be retained not only for the
duration of the emergency but they
will be made available to be sent on
expeditions outside the western
hemisphere.
This is one question which
congress will have to settle. The
battle line is now being formed; tht
war department on one side and the
congressmen who believe a promise
is' a promise, and that the govern
ment promised to release the sekc
tees and return the guardsmen from
federal service when their year is
up.
In every sizable community in
Oregon there is a company of na
tional guard. The local people took
pride and interest in the outfits, for
the young guardsmen were active.
Many, the officers especially, want
ed to be mobilized, so last autumn
they were mustered into federal
service for 18 months of camp lie.
It was planned to put some of the
draftees under the guardsmen, who
would act as teachers, and after one
year the draftees would be permit
ted to serve the remainder of their
enlistment while the guardsmen
went home. Apparently it will not
work out like that,
Believing that they would be re
quired for one year, officers and
men gave up their jobs in civil life
or took a leave of absence. At any
rate, they surrendered whatever po
sdtion they held, intending to return
in due course. The high command
of the army, however, has a differ
ent idea and for several months
has been mulling it over. The brass
hats do not wish to lose the 230,000
guardsmen if they can help it, and
they wish to keep the best of the
draftees.
Their argument is that the guards
men and the trainees cannot be
given a thorough familiarity with
mechanized instruments of war in
a few brief months ard that 1hus
far production of these war mach
ines lias gone principally to the
British, leaving veiy few weapons
for training. Next year, they say,
production will be such that in ad
dition to providing for the British
there will be enough weapons for
the American troops arid then real
training can be attained. i irther,
they assert, with constant infiltra
tion of new draftees every few
months and the discharge of oth
ers who have served one year, the
armed force will be in constant agi
tation and the only real backbone
of the army will be the regulars,
who enlist for several years.
War department is preparing to
place a radio locator station on the
coast of either Oregon or Washing
ton; two in California and another
in Alaska. The "locator" is some
thing like the one the British are
turning out, but the signal corps
takes credit for the American inven
tion. It is on the principle of the
short wave radio used on ships to
determine the depth of water. It
sends out a short wave which picks
up an enemy in the sky and the
rebound shows the altitude, direc
tion and speed. This information
would be relayed to the Columbia
Portland airport and interceptor
planes would take the air and set
forth for the kill. It is all a matter
of minutes, with the bomber coming
at 200 to 300 mph and the inter
ceptor heading for the invader at
Children at Play
Victims of Autos
Sixty-two persons, virtually all of
them children under 15 years of ag
were struck by cars while playing
in streets in Oregon cities during
the year 1940, figures compiled by
the Traffic Safety Division of th
Secretary of State's office disclosed
Of this total, five were killed.
"The practice of children playing
m streets is one of the most danger
ous traffic hazards encountered in
cities today," a statement from the
safety division declares. "City Offi
cials, school officials, parents and
othere interested in safety of chil
dren have cooperated in many Ore
gon cities to secure playground ar
eas where children can play in
safety.
"But when these playground are
cannot be established, adult resi
dents should make every effort to
protect the playing of their children
by setting aside certain areas. Streets
that are little used may be blocked
off, as is done in some Oregon cities
now, vacant lots may be used.
"It is important that parents en
courage their children to keep out
of the streets where they are likely
to be struck by cars."

Motor travel on Oregon highways
has jumped more than 16 per cent
during the first five months of 1941,
according to the Oregon State Mo
tor association.
An analysis of the gasoline tax
figures just compiled by the asso
nation revealed that motor fuel con
sumption in Oregon during the first
five months of 1941 has totaled
more than 108 million gallons. The
1941 consumption for the same per
iod was 95,169,628 gallons.
The month of May, 1941, with a
sale of 25,043,327 gallons, closely ap
proached the all-time high of sales
set in August of 1940. The April
1941, sales saw an increase of moie
than 20 per cent over April of 19 '0,
tions the war department wants ra
dio experts and will make second
lieutenants of any engaged, but
those accepting must be young, un
married and ready to serve any
where. With Democratic leader Barkley
in the hospital, Senator Byrnes el
evated to the supreme court and
Senator Harrison dead, practically
the entire responsibility for formu
lating a legislative program devolves
upon Senator Charles McNary of
Oregon because of his position t3
minority leader in the senate. A
legislative program is a blueprint of
the work done day by day.; involves
the question of recess or adjourn
ment and whether there should be
either; what should be taken up for
consideration1 and what legislation
can wait. The speeches made on the
floor, the debates, are only inciden
tal although to spectators in the
galleries and to newspaper readers
these sound like the senate in ac
tion. Most senate speeches are for
public consumption If it were not
for the shaping up of the legislative
program by Senator McNary tha
senate would have been in a mess
for the past several weeks.
Although there is a shortage of
funds, the national park commission
will not close the Silver Falls (Mar
ion county) recreational area bn.t
will keep it in operation this sum'
