PLANNED TtJ SAVE

Lessening of Restrictions
Needed To Avert Shut
downs And Job Losses.
Salem, Ore., Nov. 13. (Pi
Lessening of priority restrictions
on materials used in non-defense
building will be sought to avert
major closures in Oregon's mill
and logging operations, Gov.
Charles A. Spiague said here
yesterday.
L. C, Stoll, state employment
service director, said 11.000 Ore
gon sawmill and logging work
ers would be thrown out of
work by February if the pres
ent trend continued. He told
lumber operators and the Ore
gon Economic council that 3,000
Portland construction and 9,000
In heavy industries workers
would be Jobless.
Stoll said certain priorities
had drastically curtailed non
defense building with the result
that many mills already had
made sharp reduction in their
operations.
Governor Sprague said he had
asked Gov. Arthur B. Langlie of
Washington to Join In a protest
to the OPM.
James Bryant, San Francisco,
regional social security board
director and labor supply board
chairman, said he would ask the
OPM to send two men to Oregon
to study the situation.

earlOrapping
brings $25 fine
David T. Thomas, mill
worker doing trapping on the
side, entered a plea of guilty
to trapping furbearing animals
out of season and was assessed
$23 and costs in Justice court
today. He was given 30 days to
pay the fine, after paying the
$4.90 costs. The state game de
partment confiscated 13 musk-
rat pelts, and returned traps
and gun to Thomas.
The fur trapping season does
not open until November 15.
and muskrats are bringing the
best price in several years.
Quentin Matthews and Rny
mond Wooley, of the Eagle
Point district, are serving out
SZ3 and costs fines in the county
Jail, upon pleading guilty to
trapping out of season. They
were given an opportunity to
pay on the Installment plan, but
decided afterwards to languish
in the bastile at $2 per day.
Reports on a recent Inquiry
aent out to former navy men
who were still following the
skilled trades they had learned
in the navy showed the average
salary of these workers to be
185 per month.

On Paris "Curb"
Vichy, Unoccupied France,
Nov. 13 lP) T"ie price of
cigarette butts in Paris has

30-Ton Tank Crossas
American Lake Over
Army Pontoon Bridge
Tacoma, Nov. 13 OP) In the
first successful test of Its kind
west of the Mississippi, new 30
ton tanks, bristling with cannon
and machine funs, yesterday
negotiated the length of a 214
foot pontoon bridge laid across
an arm of American lake, near
Tacoma. ,
The bridge, constructed by
the first United States army
pontoon battalion organized in
the west, consisted of 22 alum
inum pontoons which were 32
feet long, six and a halt feet
wide and nearly four feet deep.
Crossing the bridge one at a
time, the tanks caused only a
slight sagging and officers said
the tests showed that two could
safely cross at a time.
The pontoons were brought to
the lake on huge army prime
movers (trucks) and lifted Into
the water by cranes. An out
board motor was then attached
to facilitate movement.
Officers said the pontoons can
carry 100 soldiers each and,
without reinforcing, the bridge
can carry 25 tons. Reinforced, a
load of 45 to 50 tons was be
lieved possible.
