tended vacation in Washington.
During their motor trip of the
state they stopped at coast

terest. They left Medford the

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.

FORES! RANGER
Norman H. Hayes. Jr., Rogue
River national forest lookout at
Devil's Peak, sat down and fig
ured today that he walked 79
miles and rode horseback 16
miles looking for his wrist
watch, a graduation gift, which
he lost in the forest last June 2.
Hayes found the watch yes
terday, the rain giving him a
chance to leave his station to
take another look around in the
area where he thought he had
dropped it. He previously had
hiked and ridden time and
again without finding the watch.

ASHLAND OFFICE
The U. 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.

Washington, Aug. 26. (IP)
The agriculture department an
nounced today it would pur
chase apples from the 1941 crop
under ' a program designed to
offset the price-depressing ef
fect of the loss of export mar
kets. Purchases are to be made
from growers, associations of
growers and their agents at
prices subject to change from
time to time in accordance with
market conditions.
Opening prices, f.o.b. shipping
point, at which initial purchases
would be made early next
month, were announced as fol
lows: U. S. No. 1 Jonathans, 24
Inches and up, $1 per packed
bushel basket; U. S. No. 1
Grimes Golden, 214 Inches and
up, 93 cents per packed bushel
basket, and Xj. S. No. 1
Wealthys, 2'4 Inches and up,
93 cents per packed bushel bas
ket. The department raid these
prices were about 20 to 23 cents
above opening prices under a
similar purchase program last
season.

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.

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."

ALUMINUM TRUST
AND 0PM FLAYED
IN SENATE QUIZ
Seattle. Aug. 26. (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."
