AFTER EFFECT OF
Prime Minister Churchill Visits Iceland j LOST
Industry Boom Under Way
With Nearly Two Million
Non-Farm Tasks.
San Francisco, Aug. 27. HP)
Industrialization of California
has gone into high gear under
pressure of defense production.
It HninB sll riuht even be
fore the defense program came
- along Dut now 11 is Diazing uuwu
highway with government
funds.
Snhor.mlnded observers are
beginning to give thought to
what sort of problems this
growth of factories will raise
after the boom is over, some
voices have already been raised,
demanding lone-ranee planning.
Latest official estimates of
California's non-agricultural em
nlnvment broueht the industri
alization trend into focus today.
M. I. Gershenson, chief statis
tician of the state division of
labor statistics estimated there
were 1.965,000 employes in non
aoriellltlirol 1nhs in Julv.
That was an increase of 230,-
000 from the 1,735,000 indus
trial workers a year ago. An
other increase this month, such
as normally takes place in Aug
ust, and the total may hit the
2,000,000 mark.
The increase in this army of
workers this year had been more
than triple the 1940 advance
wover 1939.
While far from a new trend,
the speed of the state's factory
growth has increased to a point
where it is changing the Indus
trial complexion once more. Just
as in the gold rush, grain era
and the periods of oil and diver-
cified farming.
Through the last decade, Cali
fornia industry pushed ahead as
establishment of branch factories
brought a quicker recovery
from depression depths than in
the country as a whole. By
1940, California factory employ
ment had sons about 42 ter cent
ahead of 1925 figures. In the
same 15 years. United States fac
tory employment gained a shade
under 8 per cent.
Over those years, while United
States manufacturing wages in
creased some 4 per cent, Cali
fornia wages rose more than 45
per cent in total amount.

(P) With the west coast's great
est war maneuvers over, an epic
of a "lost battalion" bid today
for the No. 1 dramatic niche in
the accounting of the week-long
action through the timberland
of western Washington.
The most foot-sore and weary
unit among the nearly 100,000
troops probably was the 2d bat
talion of the 185th infantry, 40th
division.
Cold, drenched, hungry and
exhausted, they came out of the
limber of Southern Pacific coun
ty yesterday alter harrowing ex
periences that included, a mem
ber of the marching detachment
said, eating of wild berries and
an occasional crawfish from a
meandering gully stream.
At 40th division headquarters,
officers available last nicht said
the battalion never was lost but
only overdue after running
blind and then retracing its
course to get out of the wilds.
The member of the party who
told of the grueling hike, close
to 72 hours in all with only food
rations for 48, declined to give
his name, but he told the story
with drooping eyelids to a group
of listeners here.
The unit had been sent out on
n flanking movement up the
Deep river acainst a force of
the mythical Pacific coast inva
der. It never found the enemy
and that was what some of the
soldiers griped about as they
found their way to food and
warming fires after two nights
and day In intermittent, but
always drenching, rain.
The survivors said there
were between 500 and 700 men
in the detachment and "they
made a mighty long line through
the woods."
He related that apparently
faulty maps caused complica
tions, while compasses were of
slight value because of the rough
country There were myriad
branches of old abandoned log
ging railroad tracks, many lead
ing to blind ends or rickety
trestles over steep-sloped ra
vines. On a compass course, the
column would have to turn back
or aside repeatedly because of
ihe rough terrain.
The men, bearing machine gun
and mortar burdens, struggled
up and down slopes and across
the trestles, even where tires
were missing and they had to
brave the dizry height of the
longitudinal beams.
After sandwiches ran out, the
men turned to berries and any
thing else that seemed edible.
They got drinking water at
times by scooping out a drink
ing pool in a hillside rivulet.
Before the trek's end, a cigar
et was a rare treat broken in
half for self and a comrade's
pleasure.

will be accompanied by his wife
and four of their five children,

The dream of every small boy
a bicycle decked with all kinds
of gleaming gadgets Is to be
come just a mail order catalogue
dream.
The office of production man
agement disclosed today that 12
leading bicycle manufacturers
had agreed at a meeting with
parts suppliers, retailers and de
fense officials to cut the weight
of bicycles about 10 per cent,
make fewer models, and elimi
nate unneeded metal decorations
In order to save vital materials
for defense production.
Juvenile and racing models
' probably will be cut out entirely
it was decided, and each manu
facturer will produce only 10
models Instead of the 20 to 40
offered. Thus machine tools,
skilled workmen and materials
will be freed for more urgent
work.
A saving of about 20 per cent
In the rubber used by the indus
try is contemplated by the elim
ination of white sidewall tires,
which automobile manufactur
ers already have agreed to discontinue.

"God grant liberty only to those who love it,
and are always ready to guard and defend it ... "
Liberty is something that we
give too little thought to. We're
apt to take Liberty for granted.
We often forget that the privilege
of reading and writing and saying
and thing and doing as we please
is a God-given right one that is
ineffably valuable one that we
should love and be always ready
to guard and defend.
The Mail Tribune and the Free
Press of a Free America are as
much guardians of our Liberty as
are those boys who are training for
the guardianship of it in camps
throughout our country ,
As long as America's News
papers print the words and
thoughts of America's free people,
just so long will America's people
BE free. Your newspaper loves
Liberty it is prepared to guard
and defend it.
