Did You Ever Count Up To FIFTEEN BILLION? ITS AS EASY to count s bil lion dollars, some authorities insist, as it is to count a billioo cents, a billion blondes, a bil lion inner-tubes or a billion old razor blades. But it does seem r that whatever one counts by the time one reaches a bil lion he's too old to have any further interest. ' That's the reason, probably, why it does little good to be wail the fact that of the oil industry's mammoth tax burden the share paid by motorists to the states alone has now reached the gorgeous total of 15 billion dollars. If nobody can count one billion, how can anybody realize what 15 billion tan? t The motorists of America accounted for most of the 5.4 billions spent by tourists last year. It's estimated they'll spend 6 billions this year. Any other 3! billion dollar industry mould be welcomed with flag waving and fireworks in the evening. , The motorists generally, bow. ever, have been required to build their own roads. About this nobody wants to protest too much only to suggest that enough is enough. The spirit is not one of complaint. Vet it , does seem obvious that fewer gas-tax pennies would mean more tourist dollars. Anyhow, it's something to think over.

S. civil service com mission today announced an op en competitive examination for postmaster at Ashland. Applica tions for the examination must be on file with the commission in Washington, D. C, not later than September 9. The examina tion will be given within about 15 days after the closing date for applications. I This will be the second ex-1 amination given to find a suc cessor to Postmaster J. H. Ful ler, who is retiring. Six took the first examination but only two passed, Millard Grubb, veteran assistant postmaster, and Ted Guetzlaff, both Republicans. It was understood the second ex amination was called on the theory that three persons must be qualified before selection can be made. When results of the first ex amination became known, the Jackson county Democratic cen tral committee announced that a request for another examina tion would be filed, one of the arguments being that the ex amination should be held in a neutral place. The pending examination will be held in Medford under the supervision of Earl H. York, sec retary of the local board of civil service examiners. The job pays $2800. T SETS E ON APPLES Washington, Aug. 26.

JaV 10 San Quentin, Calif., Aug. 26. OP) John M. Holmes appeared to have complete control over himself today as he rose after his first night in prison, where he was sent for the slaying of Wilson Davis McNary, young Portland business man. Holmes, blinded by his own bullet after he shot McNary to death, retired early last night. Prisoners in his ward said he twitched and jerked so violently in his sleep they feared he would fall from bed. But today the 36-year-old for mer army reserve captain break fasted heartily and then visited for hours with the two other blind men in San Quentin prison. The three will be much to gether in a ward for the infirm. Warden Clinton T. Duffy told them he hopes to work out a practical course in blindcraft. An old man, once a physician, who has served many years in the prison, acts as head nurse in the ward and is watching out for the welfare of the blind trio. E Hood River, Ore., Aug. 26. VP) Rep. Walter Pierce (D-Ore.) said here last night that he would do everything in his pow er to oppose location of an alum inum plant outside the Bonne ville dam area. Such a place, he asserted, should be located within the 15 mile preferred zone surround ing the dam. "I am not going to quit this fight even if the plant is located in Troutdale or Vancouver," Pierce said. "I will demand a congressional investigation for I believe it is criminal negligence to waste time and money in these days Of national emerg ency to bicker about locating a plant outside the 15-mile zone."

(PI A Salt Lake City mining man, Frank Eichelberger, testified today be fore a senate defense Industry investigation committee that Japan has been producing alum inum in six plants since 1938 under the same process which a company he heads proposes to set up in a plant near Tacoma. Eichelberger, who startled the Truman committee yesterday with testimony that the Office of Production Management and the Aluminum company of America are "more Interested in preserving the company's aluminum monopoly than they are in national defense," re sumed the stand today. Opening the hearing. Sena tor Monrad C. Wallgren (D. Wash.) asked Eichelberger: "Yesterday you called atten tion to the fact that Japan is using your process in six or seven plants. Is that your pro cess? "All I can say Is that we pat' ented it there and the Japanese weren't successful In making aluminum until after our pat ent," Eichelberger, president of the Kalunite company of Salt Lake City, replied. "Japan to day is producing more alum inum than the United States and they are using that process. They manufactured more in 1939 than this country did." "Has the Office of Production Management tried to discourage the use of your patented pro cess? the senator asked. "Yes sir. they have," Eichel bergcr said. "And yet, Japan, using it, is turning out more aluminum than we are," Senator Wallgren re marked. Eichelberger said that deposits of aluminum-bearing clays near Enumclaw, Wash., which his company has tested with dia mond drills, are "tremendous." Justice Named Salem, Aug. 26.
