Washington, D. C, Jan. 22. There
Is prospect of a training ship being
established either on Puget Sound
or Columbia river by Federal Mari
time commission to provide crews
for the cargo boats which are com
ing off the ways.
Finding crews for the 1200 freight
ers of the ugly duckling and C type
boats is a problem being studied by
the commission. For these vessels
there will be required 51,600 officers
and men. a number far exceedeing
present available masters and sail
ors. Each vessel will have 35 mem
bers before the mast and eight offi
cers, a total of 43,000 sailors and
9,600 officers. To get the men the
maritime commission will appeal to
youths between the ages of 18 and
22 years. Between the selective ser
vice of the army, the CCC, NY A, the
shipyards and aircraft factories and
the navy, the maritime commission
realizes that it is in for tough com
petition. The commission now has five
training ships, three steamers and
two sailing vessels. It is the inten
tion to increase this number to nine,
with accommodations for 300 stu
dents. Two of the new training
ships will be of the ugly duckling
type, equipped with machine shop.
The course is for six months, dur
ing which students are paid $21 a
month plus "found;" not much com
pared with what youngsters of the
required age are drawing in defense
industry. When graduated and as
signed to ships students will be paid
the higher rate which every sea
man receives, plus insurance and
bonus for venturing into war zones.
Less attention will be paid to
training the men for sail than for
mechanical parts of the new fleet
engines, hoists, machinery general
ly. Only educational test required is
for those who wish to become radio

When a delegation cf northwest
lumbermen met with office of pro
duction management to protest
against the ceiling on dwellings at
$"0!)0 among other things, they said
that nails are now as scarce as fea
thers on a frog. Even without the
ceiling on the price of a house, a
handicap to building is the scarcity
of nails. OPM placed a top price
on dwellings to conserve metals,
such as plumbing materials, galvan
ized and copper gutters and drains,
hut overlooked that nails are es
sential in any priced house.
Steel mills which heretofore pro
duced nails are turning their equip
ment to national defense and this has
caused the shortage of nails. The
lumber men pointed out that Canada
is haying no trouble on the nails
issue and there are no priorities or
allotments. No one has yet suggest
ed a substitute for nails, although
substitutes are suggested for hard
ware. Congress will be requested to
make an appropriation for injured
air. raid wardens. No wardens have
yet been injured, but to play safe
congress is expected to provide for
such a contingency. Wardens in
clude volunteer firemen who ex
tinguish incendiary bombs and those
in demolition crews. It will amount
to complete coverage for these war
workers. The government has al
ready announced war risk insurance
where bombs demolish or damage
dwellings, industrial plants or crops;
applying the insurance to the Paci
fic northwest and the canneries of
Alaska.
Probably next spring congress will
receive a plan or development of
phosphates submitted by Secretary
of Interior Ickes. The secretary has
already appointed a commission to
make an -investigation and later this
group will visit the northwest for a
personal view. The tentative plan
includes production of phosphates
and their distribution to farmers.
TVA has been manufacturing the
soil-builder for several years and
as there are projects on Columbia
river larger than TVA, it is desired
to turn them to this business .The
oi e can be processed at Spokane or
anywhere in the Grand Coulee or
Bonneville area. Expense of the in
vestigation is paid from appropria
tions for the interior department,
but as there is a large amount of da
ta available on the northwest depos
its the cost of the probe will be re
duced. Suggestion comes from the west
that selectees who were rejected by
local draft boards because they were
defective in some particular be as
signed to guard public properties,
such as reclamation dams, where
they would not be subjected to the
arduous training for combat troops.
Cited are a long list of reclamation
projects many now guarded by men
hired by the reclamation bureau,
but not by troopers. War depart
ment officials contend that guard
ing public works requires a physi
cal condition equal to that demand
ed in the army and that while a
few selectees might be reconditioned
to do guard duty, the army doesn't
think much of the idea.

Post-war planning in agriculture
an important part of the wartime
"ffon. even though intensive work
n this field may be postponed some
what, according to both federal and
rtate agricultural officials at Ore
Tn State college.
In Oregon post-war planning is
considered primarily the work of
county land use and agricultural
planning committees. Advance work
is already being done in preparing
to carry the planning effort to ev
TV agricultural community, save
Will iwi A. Schoenfeld. chairman of
the state land use planning commit
tee. The job of fighting and of produc
;t for the fighters can be done bet
ter if we can look to the future with
confidence that the hazards and mis
eries of former post-war periods
may be avoided, says Schoenfeld.
