The "Lone Eagle" does not enter active war service, but will engage in technical aviation research for the war department Not only is this the department for which Colonel Lindbergh is by age and temperament best fitted, but it avoids a situation which, because of the Lind bergh record, might well have proved embarrassing to the government and to the veteran flier. THIS department has no doubt of Lindbergh's essential loyalty to this country. But a man who had devoted a large share of his time for two years to a program of appeasement and non-resistance, declared repeatedly England was beaten, and the allies could not win, could hardly enter combatant service in a war he had done everything to prevent, with the single-minded ardor and intensity that is so essential in our fighting air service. "N the other hand to have denied Lindbergh recog- nition or ANY responsible participation in the war, would, we believe, have been equivalent to con victing the man without a trial and forcing upon him a life-long disgrace and humiliation not only for him self but those who come after him, which the char acter of his offense, in a democracy at peace, would not have deserved. As it is, the Lone Eagle is employed where he can render the best service, to his country ; and all fair minded people in the country, and the government, will be disposed to consider the Lindbergh pre-war ! incident closed. How To Save Tires The rubber shortage and consequent government rationing has focused attention on means of prolong ing tire life and made a "tire conservation" program essential for motorists according to Dr. E. B. Mc Daniel, president of the Oregon State Motor associ ation. "It is the patriotic duty of each one of us to take the utmost care of his tires in order to help make available more rubber for the guns, ships, tanks, planes, and trucks necessary for victory," Dr. Mickel declares. "Few of us realize the extent to which our armed forces depend upon rubber. Each of our navy's new battleships requires 160,000 pounds of rubber; 500,000 army trucks and cars need more than 300,000,000 pounds of rubber; each bomber requires its share, and there are hundreds of other needs." rR. McDaniel stated that by doing a few simple things the average motorist can reduce tire wear up to 25 per cent, saving as much as one ounce of rubber per tire per month. Such a saving on the part of every motorist would release enough rubber in one year to build heavy duty tires for more than 500,000 army command cars 48,000 tons, Dr. Mc Daniel said. The association leader advised motorists whose old casings are still sturdy and in good condition to have the tires retreaded as long as this service is available. For all drivers who must make their old tires last longer, the motor association has prepared a program embodying the major principles of tire care, as follows : HECK tire pressure frequently. From one-quarter to one-third of tire mileage is wasted on tires only five pounds under-inflated. An ordinary tire loses two or three pounds a week. But do not over inflate. Avoid excessive speed, greatest enemv of tire life. A 60-MILE SPEED USES 50 PER CENT MORE RUBBER THAN 40-MILE SPEED OVER THE SAME DISTANCE. Scraping and slipping on curves, "jack-rabbit" starts, and skidding stops wear off more miles of normal service, and weaken the tire body as well. "HECK wheel alignment. A tire only one-half inch out of line is dragged sideways S7 feet every mile! Think how much tread rubber would be scrub bed off by sliding a loaded tire this distance. Check brakes. Badly adjusted brakes cause exces sive and uneven wear. Don't strike curbs in turning or parking, and turn comers slowly. Have cuts and injuries repaired promptly to keep out moisture. And remember, oil makes tires soften and blister. Inspect tires frequently. Lastly always drive carefully. It's safer and will help to save rubber and fuel. Communications Dip Lights for Blackout To the editor: The chances are that I am handing on informa tion already In your possession, but in case It Is not the follow ing may be of Interest, ln a letter received from relative in San Jose. Calif., is an account nf a blackout there last week. The sirens Installed by the city had proved ineffective so when the word came, all whistles and bells sounded and the power company dipped the lights on and o(f for a number of times. My correspondent said that the response was instantaneous. He was warden for his block and was out on the street immedi ately and a patrol of the block showed a complete blackout. The next day a survey was made and th genual opinion was that the reaction to the dip ping of the lights was one hun dred per cent. Deaf people were especially grateful. (Name on file) M. B. Break S.

So asserts a high commander in the war depart ment. Policy makers of the war de partment are playing safe; there ' . r : f rom San Diego to Puget sound If the officials could, the war department would tear up every industry in the exposed area and transplant them behind the eternal hills the Cascades, the Blue, possibly behind the Coeur d'Alene or the Bitterroot moun tains, wnen the official inquiry on Pearl harbor becomes public j !he war department knows that t will not be " held blameless.

Labor organizations have ap- 1 i 4- ,i.;l: i tT Y ii ureen, pres- iuciji ui u, iu ncip. oreen asked Senator McNary what he could do. See President Roose velt, was the reply; and Green broke into the White House and explained what the war depart ment's new policy meant in the , ii.iiiHiujiiicuv, in inc j abandonment of thousands of government-ouut nouses con structed for industrial workers. Assistant Secretary of War Patterson was requested to tele phone General DeWitt, com mander of the 9th corps area, and put it up to him whether, with his forces, he could defend the Pacific coast against enemy attack. If General DeWitt re plied in the affirmative it would make the policy makers appear ridiculous; if in the negative, the people of the northwest were entitled to know they can not depend upon the land and air forces. William Knudsen, of OPM, announced that Spokane is ideal for the rolling mill, "as It is in the center of the aluminum industry." He was told that Spokane Is on the extreme edge of that area and cannot serve the reduction plans on Puget sound or the Columbia river as well as one located at Trout dale, and this statement was proved by a map hanging on the wall of Knudsen's office. Bill said nothing to that argu ment. Jesse H. Jones, of RFC, said he was disposed to favor the Columbia site but wanted to combine the proposed Los Angeles plant and the Troutdale enterprise as It would save $5,000,000. Jones also talked to President Roosevelt. It was okeh with Washing ton's Senators Bone and Wall gren if the rolling mill were shifted to Spokane, but the an nouncement that no plant ex pansions or new industries would be sanctioned by the army in western Washington was a different matter. This would cramp the desired facili ties at Seattle for expediting supplies to Alaska army and navy bases; would divert some of the activities of Boeing air craft plants. The army's Job, explained an official, is to protect war In dustry plants, but civilian plants must be taken care of by the respective states. This would in clude the big sawmills, private utilities, the stockpiles of hog fuel for steam plants, the nests of oil and gasoline tanks. And while the war depart ment Is determined to "freeze" all war industries west of the Cascades and establish them be hind mountain ranges, it has besides, the army ukase on war industries does not apply to army air fields or cantonments fice of transportation, there will be an Increasing shortage of truck carrier and many con cern will be forced out of busi ness.

Troop movements to the west coast have used all available equipment and freight cars are scarce a hen' teeth. ' In The - Day's News. By Frank Jenkins pHE Japs capture the litUe oil island of Tarakhan, just off the northeast coast of Dutch Borneo, where It faces on the Celebes sea. Batavia, Dutch East Indies capital, adds officially: "The stubbornly fighting lit tle Dutch garrison held them off until all oil fields and all equip ment were THOROUGHLY DE MOLISHED." ITTHE dispatches indicate that the Japs literally over whelmed Tarakhan, pouring up wards of 20,000 men onto it first parachute troops and then soldiers landed from transports. Wherever they attack (so far) in the South Seas, the Japs have overpowering superiority o f troops and equipment. (An interesting sidelight ot this particular attack: The Tak haran oil is said to be of such high grade that it can be pump ed into ships for immediate use without any refining processes). RflACARTHUIVsi little army " still fights stubbornly. Dispatches tell us his artillery broke and scattered attacking Jap formations and smashed 11 Jap batteries. (A battery ordin arily includes four guns). Loss of 44 guns isn't anything for the Japs to be happy about. MacArthur's American gun ners are said to be definitely superior in their marksmanship. I5UMORS of Anglo-American reinforcements spread to day in the South Seas. A British dispatch says: "An announcement can be expected at ANY MOMENT which may change the Malayan (Singapore) situation considerably in Brit ain's favor." This Is taken to Indicate that powerful allied counter-blows may be struck soon. A GAINST this optimistic feel ing must be set this state ment from Washington: "Some observers here see the grim possibility that the United Nations may be forced back as far as Australia before a major counter-o ffensiva can be launched." In order to keep your think ing straight, remember that the whole South Seas area is far distant from Britain and Amer ica but relatively close to Japan. PROM airports only 150 miles r away, the Japs are bombing Singapore heavily. Recall at this point that if they can't take Singapore outright they may be able to destroy its usefulness as a naval base. Plenty of allied fighter planes is the way to head off that scheme, but allied fighter i planes are scarce in that part of the world. Bombers can be flown In, but the shorter-ranged fighter have to be transported by ship. PROM Europe today (Tuesday) r come report that Hitler Is massing Germans ln Italy for a drive on Malta.
