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

has built up a great business In

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."

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.
