Editorial Correspondence
Pendleton, Oregon, June 13. A welcome change In the weather
after that 98 in the shade in Portland and about the same in
humidity. However no one complained in the Rose City, as long
as old Jupiter Pluvius didn't perform his usual stunt of raining
out the annual Rose Festival.
Came up here via Vancouver and the Washington State highway
which proved to be great improvement over the Columbia River
thoroughfare. The Washington route is comparatively straight
and level, with little traffic, in marked contrast with the "switch
back" Oregon route.
Crossed the river to Oregon on crazy little ferry. Just large
enough for four motor cars, (the charge being one dollar per car)
landing at place called Biggs. We can recommend this river trip
on the "north bank" highly, particularly around sunset, It Isn't
as sensational as the Columbia River highway, perhaps, but It is
one of the most beautiful scenic drives in the country, and exceed
ingly comfortable.
Left Portland at 8 p. m. so reached Sam Hill's art museum at
Maryhill, Washington too late to look within the museum closes
at 7 o'clock. Stopped for a look over the parapet, breath-taking
view up and down the river in the golden twilight. Here Sam Hill
once greeted Queen Marie of Rumania, when the latter toured
the far west, strange pair of highly-publicized romantics!
Could have made Pendleton before midnight, but decided to
follow the rule of safety first, so parked at a roadside hotel, for
the night and reached this round-up metropolis the following day
in time for lunch, having a good view en route of the new airbase,
which is perched on a flat hill, couple of miles west of the city.
This Is the airbase Medford once hoped to get, but didn't!
After luncheon drove out to the airbase, which at the moment
is in great state of confusion, with scores of huge tractors stirring
up tremendous clouds of fine dust, ground crew men scurrying
about In the dust laden heat, dry grass being burned off, while a
fire engine stood by, the United Airlines operating on schedule in
the midst of all the confusion. The Mainllner from Portland to
Spokane came in as we were there, and the U. S. army major
we had been chatting with got aboard, with many misgivings.
"I hate to ride in these commercial planes," he declared mourn
fully, "and there is lot of turbulence in the air, see those storm
clouds over there, don't like it!"
He got aboard however, and later we learned he had Just com
pleted an army air reconnaissance, piloting his own ship from
the Atlantic to the Pacific along the Mexican border!
Ten minutes later the storm hit the hangar, but by that time
the airliner was well to the northeast of It.
Most of the air-base buildings are up, but not ready for occu
pancy, as yet, so there is only a skeleton force on hand, engaged
in construction. There are not half as many planes flying about
in the heavens here as there are in Medford at the present time,
but in another month, probably before, there will be many.
One of the men in charge told us why Pendleton was selected
for the base:
No. 1 reason was the fact the government has a ten million
dollar ammunition dump at Hermlston, about 30 miles to the
northwest, air bases should be near ammunition depots.
This ammunition dump by the way is a huge affair, steel and
concrete entirely underground, with it Is rumored thirty miles
of underground railways. No one outside of the army knows its
EXACT location. When completed, there will be nothing to distin
guish it from the rest of the terrain, so enemy airplanes looking
for It will be out of luck, or at least that's the idea.
Other reasons cited:
No mountains hereabouts, Just a high plateau of bare rolling
loam and sand hills, without trees, or other air obstacles, natural
or man-made. The base will be an airplane training camp, green
lads taking their first solo flights, etc., etc., a decided advantage
when in an emergency or in thick weather, a forced landing can
be made, with the minimum risk of a crack-up.
Also this is railroad and highway center, the U. P. and
Northern Pacific Join, hard-surfaced highways branch out in
practically every direction of the compass, there are no extremes
of weather, the altitude is desirable (practically the same as
Medford) and of course, the base is well inland from the coast,
from where, in case of war, the hostile attack would come.
Adding all these Items up and the only real advantage Pendleton
has over Medford would seem to be the large expanse, mile after
mile, of rolling, treeless and rockless terrain.
m
Although the main air force hasn't arrived, there are so many
men engaged in construction work that Pendleton ia filled up
and overflowing. We were lucky to get the last room available
in the Pendleton hotel, the clerk informing us, it has been that
way ever since work on the base started. Ditto the movies, the
golf club, the restaurants, etc., etc., business is humming, and
everyone is happy. But when the 2300 men and 300 officers are
all here with their 80 bombers, what about the housing problem,
ditto water, sewage, schools, recreations and the noise above, etc.,
etc., etc.T
Well Pendleton is wide awake, progressive community, and
with Its famous "round-up" Is well trained in the art of taking
care of large crowds, on short notice.
When the air base was assured, a small group of local business
men, raised $100,000, forming a housing corporation, this cor
poration has been functioning for several months so when the
peak load does come, no one will have to sleep In the street, or
in a trailer camp either, that is, no one who can pay a reasonable
rent for a modern Igloo.
This housing corporation, to date, has spent very little in house
construction, most of the cash used, going for property on which
to build, various and sundry sub-divisions.
At this point competent building contractors have taken over,
and through FHA, have built scores of modern homes, the most
averaging around $4000, some a trifle more, some less. Very
liberal terms have been secured from the government, only about
a ten percent cash outlay bejng required to start operations. Since
the first of the year, approximately $200,000 has been expended
thus by these contractors, and according to report, each and every
house has been rented or leased, as it has been completed.
Pendleton has good water system piped In from the hills
(much like Medford s) and the city agreed to furnish the air base
with both water and sewer facilities. All city water Is metered
however, so the wholesale waste which afflicts Medford is not
problem here. The air base wilt be metered and will pay the
prevailing meter rate. There Is some doubt, however, that the
present water system will be adequate, when the airbase Is func
tioning, and the inevitable increase in population has reached its
height. In tact plans are now being perfected by local authorities
to enlarge the water system.
There is also the school problem. Pendleton school authorities
expect an Increase in the school population of at least 600 pupils,
and the problem is where to put them, and how to provide teachers
for them. Application has already been made for federal aid under
the Lanham bill (this measure provides $130,000,000 to assist com
munities In vital defense areas, carry the financial burden defense
entails) also WPA, the U. S. Department of Education and the
state department of education as well. Just what the outcome will
be, la not known at the present time but we are told, the prospects
look good, for a successful solution of the problem with not too
severe strain upon the local department of education.
There will also be need of incrrascd sewage disposal facilities
and financial aid In this direction will also be requested from the
government.
Of course Pendleton's air base problem, with an influx of only
about 3000 officers and men, an Investment of approximately
$2,900,000, is comparatively simple for a community of 8000
people Medford's problem, if and when the cantonment
comes, with an influx of 30,000 officers and men, an Investment
or 18 or 20 millions in a community only slightly larger, will be a
far more serious and complex one.
Yet as an example of what to expect, the experience here in
Pendleton, Is interesting and, in some directions may be helpful.
There is one reassuring feature, as far as this airbase Is con
cerned. To date the so-called "social problem," is non-existent, and
the representative citizens we have talked with, expect none. A
finer bunch of boys and men, they say, have never been enter
tained in this round-up town, and this goes for ALL the men. A
large number of them, are on the streets and at the movies every
evening, the Saturday night migration is a real one, but while
the camp police are on the Job cooperating with the city police
there has been no trouble at all, and none Is expected. R.WJt.

OSTRICHISM OF
Last warning to publishers of
dictionaries: you had better have
the NO SALE indicator in good
working order
when you come
around here
with the next
edition If It
does not In
elude the
nouns crl and
vita. And while
you are at it
please have
another go at
the verb os
trich, for I am
confident Ger
ard Darrow, Q. K., will support
me when I say the ostrich does
no such thing and even If the
bird ever does hide his head in
the sand he is not merely pre
tending not to see, he Just hon
estly does not see.
That's the way It la with the
Wiseacres. The Wiseacres are a
cut above the Morons Intel
lectually altho outnumbered by
them at least two to one. They
are even harder to teach than
the Morons because when a
Wiseacre acquires a little knowl
edge that's all he wants to know,
whereas a Moron frankly ad
mits he doesn't know and does
as he is told. You have to super
vise or direct a Moron, but you
have to watch a Wiseacre lest
he decide he knows better than
his boss, employer, doctor,
teacher or adviser and proceed
to follow his own superior Judg
ment regardless.
Wiseacres impose childlike
faith in the efficacy of a dash
of something they believe to be
"antiseptic" to prevent or cure
infection, whether of a wound,
burn or similar lesion or of the
nose or throat. They have the
same touching confidence in a
dose of anything they believe to
be "stimulant" to prevent or
relieve exhaustion or collapse or
shock or weakness.
To the Wiseacre mentality It
seems as reasonable as the
spieler makes it seem that , one
can indulge In abuses of all
kinds and remain immune from
the consequences if one will only
take a good dose of this or that
nostrum. It never occurs to the
Wiseacre Intellect that killing
ache, pain, or other sense by
means of analgesic drugs is not
equivalent to correcting the
cause of the distress.
Mr. Wiseacre had acquired
the habit of resorting to a popu
lar pick-me-up or bracer when
ever he felt tired, mean, head
achy or Just worried. He felt un
comfortable one evening after
dinner, took two or three doses
of his favorite dope and went to
bed. Toward midnight his
breathing became stertorous.

Acetanilide poisoning, no doubt.
But the kindly medical examin
er recorded it as fatal coronary

osis (blueness) of lips, nails or

Of course cyanosis might occur
with heart failure from other

PRODUCTION Manager Knud
sen, speaking today (Thurs
ady) to 200 aircraft manufac
turers asetmbled in Washington,
says:
"Your production is SO per
cent ahead of schedule and by
next fall you will be producing
ALL THE AIRPLANES WE
WANT."
DEMEMBER at this point the
proverb: "Rome wasn't built
In a day."
Tens of thousands of airplanes
of NEW types aren't built in a
few months. Mass production,
amazingly fast and efficient
AFTER it gets started, requires
time consuming preliminaries
BEFORE it can get started.
It appears from Knudsen's
statement that these prelimi
naries are being got out of the
way.
Put this fact down on the
side of the ENCOURAGING
news.
p? Cairo, the British Middle
East command announces to
day: "French defenders of Syria
are offering resistance in certain
areas, obliging us to use force
to prevent obstructions to our
advance. When these French
troops have been overrun, many
of them have expressed sym
pathy with the allies' objective
of preserving Syria from Ger
man penetration."
The war in Syria, you see.
Is still a PROPAGANDA war.
"THE Germans so far are stay-
Ing out of Syria because
they think it wouldn't set well
with the French people if they
see Germans fighting side by
side with French against the
English.
The impression they want to
create is that of rebel French
men (de Gaullists) fighting side
by side with the British to take
Syria away from France.
rON'T expect this propaganda
war to last long. If and
when the French In Syria begin
to take a bad licking, look for
the Germans to go in for blood.
IN London "usually reliable
sources" report receipt of
Information that the Germans
are massing troops, artillery and
aircraft in Poland and Rumania
for a war of nerves designed
to wrest further concessions
from Russia.
What concessions?
Baku oil and Ukraine wheat,
for one thing. Also, maybe, a
land route by-passing Turkey's
two million bayonets to the
east, leading down through Iran
to take Britain's Iraq forces In
the rear.
Your map will Indicate the
possibilities of such a route.
IF such a scheme Is in the
1 wind, will Russia fight or
submit?
If you can answer that ques
tion accurately, you are one
of the world's best Informed
persons.
A STRAW in the wind: Near
" Tobruk German dive bomb
ers, attacking in force and fierce
ly, sink a British gunboat and
a monitor.
When the shooting starts again
on a grand scale, the vicinity
of Tobruk will be one of the
places.
That way lies the road to the
Nile from the west.
(And you can be very sure it
wont' be long before the shoot
ing starts on a grand scale
again.)
"VUR own state department
says today that according
to an American consular report
the Robin Moor (American ship)
was sunk by a German sub
marine In the south Atlantic
and that the German command
er was "fully aware that the
ship was American."
Keep your eye on the Robin
Moor sinking. It Is one of these
"incidents" that are Important
out of all proportion to their
physical dimensions.

qulrements. There is the capac
ity of the city plants, such as
Tacoma, Seattle and Eugene;
the dozen or more private utili
ties from Washington Water
Power in the north to California-Oregon
Power in the south
with dams or steam plans, or
both. This array of municipal
and private generating plants
has an estimated capacity of
1,600,000 kilowatts a year. With
the government plants there
would be available In 1942 ap
proxtmately 2.436,000 kilo
watts. SUCH is the information col
lected by OPM, but there are
opportunities for additional
power to supplement the pri
vate, municipal and govern
ment plants. The sawmills at
Longview, on Puget sound, on
the Columbia river and in Wil
lamette valley can Join the pool
if the need is pressing. In cer
tain instances sawmills act as
standby plants for private com
panies after providing for their
own requirements.
As sketched by OPM, once
the power of the Pacific north
west Is pooled the next step Is
to be priorities, with stress be
ing laid on industries having
war orders (ship yards, air
planes, navy craft, dock equip
ment, engines, etc.) and elimin
ation of the use of electricity
for frills. As is now the case
with certain metals, national
defense comes first and fore
most and when this has been
taken care of, the citizens come
next (Borax is an example:
others, copper, aluminum, chro
mite, etc).
ESSENTIALLY, northwest
pool is to divert every kilowatt
possible for defense. This is one
of the moves to provide for
several very large industries
which will be consumers of sub
stantial blocks of power and
which are now waiting for suf
ficient energy in the northwest
to justify their location in that
region. The government Itself,
will Install an aluminum plant
and very likely a magnesium
plant as well but these are only
jpart of the industrial develop
I ment proposed for Oregon and
Washington, all based on the
.need of war material.
How the Bonneville-Grand
Coulee administrator will re
gard this merger has not been
announced. Plans are even now
j being drafted permitting that
administration to acquire rjrl-
vate companies, and the admin
istrator has no desire to sell
government power to the pri
vate utilities. There are many
details remaining to be worked
out in the northwest suggestion,
but in the east power magnates
are already seated at the con
ference table with government
representatives; it is extraord
inary because of the war de
mands on production. What will
happen to "frills" in the use of
electrical energy remains to be
seen.
REGARDING the military ac
tivity under consideration for
central Oregon, is a possibility
of using a vast triangle of about
190 miles east of Bend and south
of the highway between Bend
and Burns: where tented troops
can maneuver with plenty of
elbow room and away from the
general public. To reach this tri
angle in access road would be
required connecting the encamp
ment with The Dalles-California
highway This Bend project de
pends, says the war department,
on congress increasing the army
and voting an appropriation.
Both of these provisions are cur
rently in the making.
