WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 17
In the vicinity of Ontario are 11,600
acres of beets and 10,000 acres de
voted to onions, potatoes, etc. The
ranchers there have requested that
a camp of conscientious .objectors
be located in that vicinity, but the
government has denied the request.
There are three CCC camps near
Ontario which are now controlled
by the reclamation bureau, which
is prepared to dispose of them. On
tario farmers say these camps
would be ideal for housing agricul
tural labor and if nothing else is
in sight they would like to have
Mexican laborers imported to cul
tivate their fielda Last year the
farmers had to depend on school
children, townspeople and Japanese
evacuees but they are now won
dering about the status of these
Japanese and hesitate to plant their
full acreage until they know where
the labor will come from. Beet su
gar labor starts May 1. Farm secur
ity administration is working on
the problem.
Pending action by war manpower
commission, Sen. Rufus Holman
has introduced a bill authorizing
and directing the secretary of the
navy, the secretaiy of war and the
manpower oommssion, in coopera
tion with the secretary of agricul
ture, to conduct a survey to deter
mine whether any men in military
or naval forces, formerly engaged
in agriculture, lumbering, mining,
industrial or other essential civilian
occupations, would be more valu
able in the conduct of the war of
they were separated from active
military or naval service and re
turned to their civilian occupation.
If any such man is found in the
armed services he shall be given a
. discharge and deferred from fur
ther military or naval service as
long as he continues to be employed
on the farm, lumbering, etc. While
a farm boy or one in mining or
lumbering has the privilege of ask
ing for deferment from his local
board, the average man dislikes to
make such an appeal as he fears
he may be regarded as a slacker;
and the local boards have not used
their best judgment in making
such deferments on their own vo
lition. m
No one appears to' know how
large the army is to be, for esti
mates are constantly changing even
when given to congressioal com
mittees by high ranking army of
ficers who should know. The army
has pushed up to 7,500,000 and
next month inductkiln will take
place at the rate of 400,000 a month.
Then there was announcement the
army would be 9,000,000 and now
the estimate is for an armed force
of 11,500,000. Not all of these men
would be sent over seas for a few
million will be retained for de
fense of this country.
One of the highest army offi
cials informed the senate military
committee a few days ago that 13
men are required to keep one sol
dier fighting in this country; 10
men in Britain, and eight men in
Germany. Assuming that 11,500,000
men are in uniform and there are
13 men (and women) behind him
at (home, this makes 141,000,00)0
people. The estimate of the conti
nental population of the United
States is 131,000,000 or 10,000,000
less than an army of 11,500,000 re
quires. The 13 behind a fighting
man includes farmers ship build
ers, airplane makers, munitions
makers, powder workers in short,
everyone but civilians in non-essential
activities.

OFFERS TO BUY YOUR
PHONOGRAPH RECORDS
Jack Miliigan, proprietor of the
Pendleton Music House, was in
Heppner for a few hours Friday
looking after business affairs.
Mulligan stated, that he is in the
market for used phonograph rec
ords which the government is anx
ious to acquire because of the shel
lac content. There is a shortage of
this material and everything con
taining it is being rounded up.
Broken records and others thrown
into the discard which no longer
are of value to you have some
worth to the government.
Since the Gazette Times office
already is a receiving post for coat
hangers and hunting knives a little
more space can be arranged to re
ceive phonograph records. Weigh in
the records before depositing them
here.

tribute to the social security fund
so that municipal employees may
receive the benefits of social secur
ity. They explain that municipal
ities have diffculty n retanng
competent help as the latter resign
and enter private industry where
they are automatically under SSB.
There are other elderly municipal
employee who would like to re
tire but cannot afford to lose their
pay check, states the league. The
organization has been advised to
take up the matter with the at
torney general of Oregon and as
certain whether he can work out
a plan, as there are too many com
plications in draftiing a' federal
law which would blanket the en
tire nation.
From many Oregon communi
ties, particularly those near Camp
White and Camp Adair, owners of
dwellings to rent are protesting
the ukase of office of price admin
istration that renta prevailing on
March 1. 1942. must not be in
creased. There is a strong demand
for houses in Medfor, Albany and
other towns but, having carried
the property all during the depres
sion, with taxes, insurance and
maintenance, the landlords find
their rents frozen, they are not
permitted to increase the rent to
what the dwellings are worth.
Even when they have remodeled
a house at the request of an army
officer and the officer is satisfied,
OPA insists that depression rent is
all the officer should pay. OPA
says the Portland area is a "bad
spot" and that "navy heroes" are
held up by grasping landlords.
Portland owners, however, deny
the accusation and they are de
manding elimination of the ceiling
and the right to evict tenants who
are nuisances. At present a ten
ant cannot be evicted.
