Washington, D. C, July 23. With
in a few months thousands of addi
tional draftees will be taken into
the army from Oregon. The reason
is that the war department plans
doubling, the present size of the ar
my and sending enough troops to
Europe for a second front. Arrange
ments for the. second front are now
under way and this has been one
of the important matters discussed
at the secret conference of Prime
Minister Winston Churchill and
President Roosevelt. It was also dis
cussed at the conference of the pres
ident and Foreign Minister Molotov
when the Russian was in the na
tional capital.
In anticipation for' the second
front the quartermaster's depart
ment has been on a spending orgy
freezing food and clothing for the
soldiers. Tons of supplies will be
required for each soldier. There will
be fewer canned goods on grocery
shelves; no woolen blankets or suits
in the stores; less coffee. First of
everything, of course, must be fur
nished the troops; civilians must
take second place, as is natural in
war times.
In the building up of the armed
forces there has been reclassification
of all with dependents, but so great
will be the demand for more troops
that invasion of the ranks of married
men with a dependent will be made.
As a rule the man working in a
war industry, such as a shipyard,
will be kept there, but as women are
infiltered into industry many of the
men will be called to the colors. It
is all a phase in the changing life
which is sweeping the United States.
It is said that the cantonment
now under construction at Corvallis
will be the largest in the United
States. It will be several months
before the troops begin arriving. Es
timates vary as to the number of
soldiers that will be stationed at
the Corvallis camp, but it is said
that it will contain more people
than the entire population of any
city in Oregon outside the metro
polian area of Portland.
Notwithstanding that Senator Ho
mer T. Bone of Washington insists
that the Columbia power authority
bill he sponsors is what the people
want and thatthey are crying for
its enactment, various cities in Ore
gon have notified the joint congres
sional committee that they want
none of it and have suggested that
the controversial subject be dropped
for the duration. On the other hand,
the state granges of Washington and
Oregon are supporting the bill as
are certain PUDs in two other states.
Rep. Walter M. Pierce, a public
ownership man, told the committee
he favors the bill but that it must
be amended, for he prefers a local
board rather than the secretary of
the interior in charge, and he does
not want to subsidize the reclama
tion feature of Grand Coulee. The
statement was flatly made by the
proponents that the purpose of the
bill was to eliminate every private
utility in the northwest. The com
mittee will resume hearings in Sep
tember but it is not likely to go to
the northwest to take testimony as
is being urged.
Airplane carriers, never before
built in Oregon, will be rolling off
the ways in a few months. The
Kaiser outfit in Portland will have
a contract to produce two score of
these small, speedy carriers, each to
carry about 30 fighting planes. All
. of the carriers are to be completed
and delivered by the end of 1943.
There is such a rush for carriers
that all larger types of warships
will be pushed aside temporarily to
make room for them.
Radios will soon be hard to get,
but Nelson Rockefeller, coordinator
of inter-American affairs, intends
Hearing Scheduled
on Food Regulations
The state department of agricul
ture has called a hearing for 10 a.m.,
Tuesday, July 28, in room 321 state
house, Salem, for considering pro
posed regulations covering a list of
products coming under the Oregon
food act adopted by the 1941 legis
lature. The proposed regulations follow
promulgations of the federal food
and drug administration and cover
the following:
Liquid whole and liquid mixec.
eggs, frozen whole eggs, dried whole
eggs, egg yolk, frozen and dried egg
yolk; 36 canned vegetables includ
ing such items as asparagus, beans,
beets, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cab
bage, carrots, cauliflower, celery,
corn and peas; canned apricots, cher
ries, peaches and pears; evaporated
milk; preserves and jams, canned to
matoes and tomato products; and
dietary foods.
The hearing will cover also pro
posed regulations and standards for
flour of all kinds. If adopted, all
flour sold in Oregon as enriched
flour will have to contain a certain
standard of vitamin B-l, riboflavin,
nicotinic acid and iron. In each in
stance the regulation would provide
a range of standard, as, for instance,
not less than 1.2 milligrams nor
more than 1.8 milligrams of ribofla
vin per pound of enriched flour.
Persons interested but not able to
attend the hearing may express their
views in writing to the division of
foods and dairies, state department
of agriculture, Salem. Copies of the
proposed regulations may be obtain ed
by writing to the same address.
Incidentally, any written expression
of views should be in the foods and
dairies office before the hearing date,
July 28.

South America sets manufactured

print and distribute a weekly, sim

Latin America. He will spend $3,
600,000 this fiscal year on radio en
tertainment; $2,700,000 on free mov
ing pictures; he will subsidize Latin
American newspapers to print fav
orable reports of the United States.
This much has leaked out, but in
handling the $23,000,000 appropria
tion Senator McKellar said Rocke
feller's testimony was not printed in
committee hearings "because it was
thought it would not be beneficial
ip the United States" to reveal what
Rockefeller will do with the money.
Senator McNary tried, ineffectively
to ascertain what Rockefeller would
spend for "entertainment of offi
cials and others of the other Amer
ican republics. "This too was a 'mil
itary secret'." However, Rockefeller
has arranged to have RFC spend
$100,000,000 in the building of 100
wind-jammers in South America to
bring bananas, coffee and other pro
ducts to the United States in these
sailing ships, which could be built
quicker along Columbia river or the
Puget sound.

More Local Women
May Join Army Corps
If there's adventure to be had,
Rose Leibbrand is going to discover
it, and so, this local woman who
once traveled in China as a news
paper correspondent and later re
turned to Morrow county to discov
er unknown Indian photographs in
an isolated cave, has started in search
of a new adventure, the present one
being by way of enlistment in the
newly activated Womens Army Aux
iliary corps, reports the United
States Recruiting service. With a
party of thirty auxiliaries, as pri
vates are designated, Miss Leibbrand
entrained Saturday for Fort Des
Moines, Iowa, where she will under
go a rigid training fitting her for
her new duties.
Miss Leibbrand's term of enlist
ment, like that of all officers and
auxiliaries, will be for the duration
and six months. Numerous crafts and
professions are useful in the Wo
men's Army Auxiliary corps, and lo
cal women between 21 and 45 who,
like Miss Leibbrand, can qualify in
the physical and mental tests and
furnish acceptable proof of birth
date, citizenship, character and abil
ity, will find an attractive future
either in domestic or foreign service
with the regular United States army.
Every recruit in this new Women's
Army Auxiliary corps, or WAAC as
they are termed, will have the satis
faction Miss Leibbrand has. of know
ing that by signing up she has re
leased one more soldier for active
troop duty.
