A Happy Solution
The solution of the Lindbergh problem is a very
satisfactory one. 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.

and put it up to him whether,

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

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

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

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

high grade that it can be pump

without any refining processes).

Dispatches tell us his artillery
broke and scattered attacking
Jap formations and smashed 11
Jap batteries. (A battery ordin

of 44 guns isn't anything for
the Japs to be happy about.
MacArthur's American gun

superior in their marksmanship.

This Is taken to Indicate that

"Some observers here see the
grim possibility that the United
Nations may be forced back as

launched."
In order to keep your think
ing straight, remember that the
whole South Seas area is far
distant from Britain and Amer

PROM airports only 150 miles

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
