STASSEN DRAFTS New Duties C) THE HOME OF GROCETERIA GOODNESS ONE SHOPPING STOP FOR EVERYTHING - PAGE TWO Governor Says $10,000,000 : Needed to Refit Return- ing Service Men. . run St Paul, Minn. (U.B The state of Minnesota ti preparing to provide financial aid for iU soldiers when they return from the war. State officials are considering the creation of a f 10,000,000 sol dier rehabilitation fund, which Gov. Harold E. Stassen said would "refit returning service men for civilian life." ' The program still Is In formative stage, and it requires legislative approval. The reha , bilitation proposal was outlined by Stassen as part of a 10-polnt program designed to prepare the 'state for readjustments which will be necessary in the post-war period. "Minnesota recognizes Its debt to those of Its men now serving in the far corners of the world," Stassen said. "It is the responsibility of the atate to formulate a program which will aid returning sol diers to start again in civilian life with the minimum of dis ruption." - Under terms of the governor's proposal, the fund, would be financed from the state's gen eral revenue reserves and ad ministered by a special commis sion authorized to make loans or outright grants in aid in indi vidual cases. "It is essential that the ad ministration of the fund be flexible, and that the type and amount of aid granted vary with the individual need," Stas sen said. "And it Is especially Impor tant that such aid be Immedi ately available upon the sol- ADMIRAL Jerry Land, chair dier i return In order that there j man of the maritime commls- Us - m ' t 'tr Admiral William D.

This builder called on the navy, the mari time commission and even the army; stormed against the ply wood boats; demanded to be given the contract. No one could do anything for the steel boat builder, however, for the contract had been signed with the northwest builder. be no extended period of dislo cation." Stassen predicted that some form of federal grant, probably a bonus, eventually would be made to soldiers after the war, but he said there probably would be a time lag between the soldier's return and the time the federal grant would be made available. The state fund, he said, would be a bridge between the time the soldier leaves the army and the time federal funds will be available. . Resources of the state fund, he said, would be used to pro vide an educational training program through which training in the respective branches of the service could be adapted to civilian pursuits while provision likewise would be made to grant special farm loans, special re-employment bureaus, and to provide transportation to em ployment areas. "Disbursement of funds, If the program Is approved by the leg islature," Stassen said, "would rest largely at the discretion of the administrative commission." Kelly's Comment From Washington. D. C. Plywood Lifeboat 1$ Columbia Plum Steel Situation Causing Worry Lumbermen Irked By Differential Br John W. Kellr , Wa.hlniiton, D. C July 24. Another "break" for the lumber industry Is a contract for life boats which has been awarded to a builder in the Columbia river area. Heretofore lifeboats, under war production program have been constructed of utrel. Efforts to have the maritime commission or the navy accept such craft built of wood have met with failure. It was con tended that a wood lifeboat sus pended from davits for weeks would open seams or, if struck by a shell fragment would scat ter splinters. Thus the makers of steel lifeboats had a monop oly. Steel has now reached a point where It must be used for first purposes first. These new type lifeboats are made of plywood, bent to a mold and treated with a glue that Is Impervious to water. The sample boat was subjected to every test the maritime com mission could think of and came through with flying colors The plywood lifeboat is cheaper than steel boats and can be marie as quickly. Report saya that 1,000 of these lifeboats, each with a capacity of 31 persons, have been ordered and of this number 250 will be self-propelling. Program is one powered lifeboat and three plain lifeboats to a ship; the boats with en gines are expected to tow the other three. Just as the contract for the plywood lifeboats was signed sion, is a bit worried over the steel situation. He intimated to a delegation from the Pacific northwest that the shipbuilding program In that section may be slowed down for lack of steel. Steel mills have been giving so much attention to plates that there Is a shortage of tubes, and without tubes no boilers can be built for the ships. Meanwhile army is demanding steel for Its ordnance and navy is Insisting on steel tor Its seven-ocean navy. The steel shortage ex tends down to the nail industry and now none of the common wire nails are obtainable. To date shipbuilders on Puset sound and Columbia river have managed to get the steel on time but with little opportunity to stockpile for ships still to be built. The boiler builders have been asking the commission to use its Influence to speed up the making of tubes, and this request has been passed on to war production board. This or ganization is atteirjpting to keep all the shipyards, private and navy, and army ordnance nlanta at least partly satisfied. One concession has been made by WPB. Permission has been given to makers of fishhooks to manufacture one-eighth as many as were produced in 1941. But, warns WPB, no critical ma terials can be used, excepting of course, steel and iron. LUMBERMEN objecting to a differential on logs from Wil lamette valley and Puget sound, whereby Oregon loggers receive less money than do Washington loggers, are bombarding the of fice of price administration. The latter organization says that this differential has existed for years and sees no occasion for a change. What happened to the log business was this: A few years ago the "Tillamook burn" caused by a small sawmill opera tion, destroyed more timber than is milled In the United States In a single year. Before the bugs could ruin the burned timber operators began logging it, and they logged so rapidly that the price of logs fell. Own ers of green timber were called together and requested not to log their stuff, but the green timber owners refused: said they had heavy taxes and in terest on their holdings and had to log or go broke. Between the burned timber loggers and the green timber loggers pro duction was far beyond the mar ket demand and the price was lower than for Washington logs, which was to the advantage of Washington mills which bought the Oregon logs. Tillamook burn has been practically clean ed out and the rush to save the logs Is almost over. This, say operators, should place Wil lamette valley logs on an equality with those of western Washington. PROGRAM appears to be to establish six aluminum ingot plants at Spokane, then take six transformers built for Shasta dam and Install them at Grand Coulee to service the Spokane pot lines. This will give Wash ington nine Ingot plants (Oregon will have two, both at Trout dale), Tacrrna, Lonitview, Van couver and Spokane districts.
