WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20
Loggers, miners and others who are
engaged in the hardest kind of
manual labor will get not an ounce
of additional meat, according to
Mrs. Phillip Crowlie, employed by
the Washington, D. C, office of
OPA. Mrs. Crowlie, who is rated
by OPA as a "typical housewife
consultant," recently spent one full
day in Portland investigatig the re
quest of loggers, miners and others
employed in the heavy industries
for an extra allotment of meat. "It
would be unwise to grant these
men any extra allotments of meat,"
said Mrs. Crowlie, when interview
ed here a few days ago. "I have
just returned from a plane trip to
Oregon at which time I investigat
ed the request for extra meat ra
tions for loggers, miners, and others.
They must learn to change their
eating habits, and the wives of these
men must make adjustments in
their cooking," said the lady "ex
pert" on the subject. So, there you
have one of the numerous reasons
why so many people would like to
shoot some of these OPA experts
who are sitting in the driver's seat
and giving orders on subjects they
know nothing about. Any schoolboy
would know that men working in
heavy industry need and must have
more meat than the pitiful amount
they are allowed if they are to con
tinue in their work.
There seems to be very little
possibility that any of the west
coast Japanese new in relocation
centers will be returned to west
ern Oregon for farm work. Amer
ican Legion posts have new joined
with the grange and farmers union
in protesting such action by any
agency of the government and their
protests are being received by
members of the Oregon congres
sional delegation. The Oregon state
grange was first to file an official
protest and its action was closely
followed by the farmers union.
Last week similar protests were
received from American Legion
posts, further indicating the inten
sity of the anti-Japanese sentiment.
Starting early is a bill author-'
izing the construction of a dam at
Umatilla in the Columbia river be
tween Oregon and Washington. It
is S. 348. Of the various projects
for power dams in the Columbia
Umatilla was the first proposed
and was the subject of congression
al hearings. Later a start was
made at Bonneville and the Grand
Coulee dam came into being, but
engineers have always contended
that Umatilla is a natural site for
a dam and fits into the develop
ment of the river. An argument for
the Umatilla dam is that it would
provide a suitable waterway for
produce from Grand Coulee farms
when that- reclamation project ma
terializes. Action on the Umatilla
dam will be determined largely on
the availibility of material for con
struction of the dam and this, in
turn, on the length of the war.
Members of some of the ration
ing boards are writing in and pro
testing that they are giving more
of their time than they can afford
and suggesting that a different
group or panel be appointed to
handle each separate item, such as
meat, gasoline, fuel oil and other
commodities as are to be rationed
later. By expansion of the panels
the work would be simplified and
not all loaded on the backs of the
original rationing boards.

comes marching home and wants a
job istanter. A few senators sug
gest a larger sum. Eastern members
are insisting that the money should
be allocated on the basis of popula
tion, which would give the thickly
settled east the lion's share of the
funds. The present method of dis
tributing road money is based on
population, area and postroads, and
these three factors provide an
equitable portion of the money to
each of the western states, which
are distinguished for their area and
miles of . postroads, if small popu
lations. The northwest states, out of
one billion dollars, might each con
ceivably receive $30,000,000; possib
ly more.
It is estimated that one-half bil
lion pounds of cheese will be ac
quired in 1943 for the armed forces
and for lend lease. Another esti
mate is that Herbert H. Lehman,
director of relief and rehabilitation,
will want 100,000,000 pounds of
cheddar when he starts feeding the
hungry mouths in the reconquered
countries. This alone would account
for more than half the total ched
dar production, providing the out
put this year is as large as it was
in 1942. One government agency,
however, states that 50 percent of
the total output will be taken by
the fighting men and lend-lease.
The government estimates are al
ways subject to revision these days
whether the need is for aluminum,
steel, rubber or evaporated milk.
