Washington D. C, January 15.
War department's proposal to locate
the aluminum rolling mill back of
the mountains to protect it from
Japanese bombers raised the hope
of communities east of the Cascades.
The department was quite determin
ed notwithstanding that four squad
rons of planes are located within 10
miles of Troutdale, a matter of three
or four minute's flight. The Dalles
had Ralph E. Moody see Senator
McNary to learn what could be done
to locate the mill there; The Dalles
being east of the Cascades, or as
the war department says, "behind
the mountains." Pendleton sent its
Mayor Lieuallen and E. B. Aldrich
zipping back by airplane. La Grande
had Fred E. Kiddle, former president
of Oregon state senate, look into the
situation.
Portland labor unions wired Wil
liam Green, president of AFL, to
stop the transfer if possible, and
Green beat a path to the White
House. Mayor Riley and dozens of
citizens wired or telephoned to Sen
ator McNary and Senator Kolmai.
The senator saw everyone who might
be able to prevent the transfer in
war department, in RFC and OPM.
The chief of staff, Gen, George C.
Marshall, was appealed to.
Small fry in the war department
became tough; declared that not an
other government dollar would go
for a war contract in any eity west
of the mountains, nor for plant ex
pansion. The alarm spread to Cal
ifornia, until it appeared as though
half the population of San Francisco
and Los Angeles flew to the nation
al capital or came by streamliner.
The Califomians wanted to form an
alliance with Oregon and Washing-

ton and insist that the war depart
ment change its policy.
Brass hats of the war department
asserted that the safest place for war
industries is back of the mountains;
they wished to use every precaution.
The people on the west coast in
quired whether the present military
forces are capable of defending the
coast, and if the army could not do
the job it was time everyone was
told.
War department expressed no
concern over the shipbuilding yards.
The yards on Columbia river 'and
Puget sound are working on con
tracts for the navy and maritime
commission, and war department
does not consider them its responsi
bility. Hint of what is to come in inter
ior towns and cross-roads stores is
considered in a statement by John
B. Eastman, in charge of transpor
tation. He says that after March
there will be no more new trucks as
factories will be giving undivided
attention to trucks for the army.
He also says there is no large stock
pile of parts. The tire question had
been solved, but the gradual elim
ination of common carriers on the
highways offers a serious situation
in Oregon.
Truck transportation has develop
ed into a vital factor in the north
west. They carry fuel oil and gaso
line into the most remote regions.
They are essential in handling "the
wheat crop, fruit and berry crops,
in moving merchandise to interior
towns. Most of the communities
served by trucks are not reached by
rail, and Eastman predicts that rail
traffic is developing to the point
where priorities will have to be
given, with first call on space for
war goods. It may be necessary to
re-arrange the routes of truck lines
to stretch available carrier service
as far as possible; if so, this will be
the job of Eastman's office of trans
portation. Hundreds of workers from Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho have
been building navy installations on
Wake, Midway, Guam and Palmyra
islands in the south Pacific for Mor-ris-Knudsen,
who were contractors
on Grand Coulee dam and highways
in Oregon and Washington. The
workers on Palmyra finished their
job and came to the mainland but
when the Japanese atttacked the
other islands these men were still
working. The state department is
inquiring where they have been
taken. It is not known whether
they are in a concentration camp in
Japan or have been detained on the
islands.
The capital is awaiting confirma
tion by the war department of re
ports that interceptors stationed at
Portland, Pendleton and Boise have
surjc several Japanese submarines
off Oregon and Washingon coasts. It
is the policy of the department not
to announce when an enemy sub
marine has been destroyed, except
in rare instances, such as reports
from the Philippines, but this se
crecy does not apply to enemy mer
chant ships, cruisers or battleships.
About 2,000 acres of peppermint
in western Oregon have a ceiling
placed on them by price control
administration. Why peppermint
should have a ceiling has not been
explained other than the suspicion
that it is to prevent the price of
gum to Uncle Sam's soldiers and
sailors. As most mint growers bor
row from local banks to handle the
crop, the bankers also are evincing
an interest in the action of the ad

Newspapers Play Vital
Role in War Work
Local newspapers and radio sta
tions are becoming more and more
important in carrying on adult ed
ucation in agriculture and probably
in other fields as well, according to
leaders in the Oregon State college
extension service who are planning
an all-out effort to aid the national
food-for-victory drive and other
programs related to the war.
Newspapers always have consti
tuted an important medium for rea
ching the people with agricultural in
formation, these officails said, but
with transportation curtailed through
tire rationing and other means, pa
pers become even more vital. With
tires and even cars being rationed
there probably will be a reduction
in number of farm meetings and
gatherings in general within the next
year or so.
The value of a state-owned radio
station capable of being used to
whatever extent is necessary in dis
tributing information is also be
coming more apparent in the pre
sent war effort. KOAC.at Corvallis
will step up to 5000 watts power as
soon as remaining parts held up by
priorities can be obtained.
While newspapers will be called
on for still more important service,
they in turn are facing serious prob
lems, state college men point out.
War conditions probably will reduce
advertising in some lines at least,
coupled with higher prices for paper.
Recommendations are being made to
staff members supplying material to
papers to write their news in the
fewest words possible.
