6 Heppner Gazette Times, June 24, 1943
AT ItHE
The president has until Friday
night to sign, file without his sig
nature or veto the Connally -Harness
anti-strike bill Opinions were
about evenly divided on his action
until last Sunday, when the coal
miners for the third time began
walking out again. Now the prog
nostigators predict he will sign the
bill. Public opinion, they point out,
will force such a move although
the president may not have wanted
to. Telegrams from labor leaders in
both Oregon and Washington and all
over the country have flooded the
White House urging him to veto
the bill. Incidentally, northwest con
gressmen, like others, are getting
"hail Columbia" on the one hand
and highest praise on the other for
their vote on the measure.
The south bank of the Columbia
river east of Arlington may be se
lected by the army engineers as the
site of another large mystery plant.
Somewhere between 150,000 and
200,000 acres will be required for
the project which, it is thought, like
the Yakima plant, will be erected for
the manufacture of powder. The site
will be fairly close to the big am
munition dump located just outside
of Hermiston. The Hermiston igloos
can store the entire output from
both the Yakima plant and the pro
posed new one. Huge quantities of
water are necessary for such manu
facturing and the Columbia river
answers that requirement. This par
ticular region has only a few inhab
itants and the majority of the land
is owned by the government. Wide
open spaces are needod for such
manufacturing, and both sides of
the Columbia river meet such
requirements.
