Nelson, director of automotive reconversion of the WPB, dealing with the critical motor vehicle situation touches upon a matter of vital importance to America's new peace time economy. Nelson stresses the danger of over optimism on the part of the public concerning new car production, an attitude that might easily result in neglect of present automobiles. e e e A CTUALLY, the output of new cars will represent only a token production a drop in the bucket when compared with the nation's requirements. A drop in spare parts sales of 25 per cent following the announcement of resumed new car production clearly indicates an alarming lack in the true picture of the automotive industry, let down in conservation practices might well precipitate a serious transportation problem before new car pro duction hits its stride. FIGURES from R. L. Polk passencrer automobiles the rate of 3,300 each day. July 1, 1944 more than three and one-half million passenger cars were relegated to the junk yard3. The anticipated production for the balance of this year is but 200,000; only 500,000 new cars have been author ized for the first quarter of 1946; only two million cars will probably be produced during the coming year. ' VES, the old jallopy will have to last a little longer, and it behooves wise motorists to keep it in good repair. Although speed limits have been boosted it is a good idea to remember that old cars operated at slow sneeds have defects both obvious and dangerous. Have a care have a car" is a thoutrht-provoking slogan that owners of older cars will do well to Navy Hospital Workers Needed It doesn't look as though Jackson County will have an unemployment problem for a long time to come. The new Navy hospital at Camp White, for ex ample, will use a lot of civilian workers and, as an encouragement to long range use of this fine estab lishment bv the Navy, this community should make a special effort to see that labor needs are promptly and adequately filled. TTHERE is an immediate and urgent call for some of these workers. The Navy needs 50 or more mess attendants, a number of maids, laborers for varied types of janitor work and chauffeurs. There are a number of other vacancies which must be filled at once, too cooks, butchers, clerks, etc. Long time work is assured, an inducement to those seeking em ployment. Applicants for work at the Navy hospital should visit the Civil Service commission's office in the Hol land hotel building as soon as possible, as certifica tion must be made through that agency. IT is earnestly hoped that this appeal for civilian help by the Navy will bring prompt response. Tin's opportunity for pleasant, profitable employment in work so vitally important Medfords Street Cars The War Production Board's return of a bill of sale to the City of Medford for rails once used by this city's street car system. recalls an interesting phase of the scrap drives of 1942 and 1943. When the need of scrap metal was most critical the citv offered these rails, now covered with macadam, to the government. Although the rails were not appeared for some time that MOW that victory is here and the need has defin- itely passed the WPB has returned the bill of sale with appropriate expression of thanks for this willing contribution. "NLY the old timers will recall Medford's street cars, which traveled their circutious way from the city center to Siskiyou Heights and the reservoir. The system was built by S. S. Bullis in 1914, and later extended to join the Barnum railroad to Jacksonville. LTHOUGII the need for street cars passed with the coming of the automobile it appeared for a while they would serve again for an even greater cause the winning of our greatest war. H.G. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, Sept. 6 Mr. Truman Is on his own to wipe the lend-lease slate clean or rather his own and J mimic's State Secre tary Byrnes). Congress can and will do nothing. The lend-lease law, which now turns out to aV M3 have been a, give-lease law.j also gave the ; ir ani president free, power to make and close agi ce ments without guiding prin ciples. 1 The original misinterprets III pi t in ipul, of public understanding and Company show that are going off the road at Between July 1, 1941 and that at high speeds become heed. H.G. should not go unheaded. dug up for war needs it this step would be taken. tlon of Mr. Truman's announce ment that we should not expect repayment has been amended by Byrnes and Senate Leader Uarkley to an extent which rep resents average congressional opinion. Mr. Byrnes said we ex pected to get some undefined things he called "commitments," although not dollars. The run of congressmen think similarly. The nations cannot pay, they say. It would be dan gerous to impose any financial obligations on them, so why not forget the whole business? (This means, of course, our taxpayers must pay the deficiencies.) , e MOWHEKE can I find anyone who wants to ask what of Russia? Russia can mine gold for perhaps $11 an ounce cost to her and sell it to us for $33 an ounce (thereby getting about 70 per cent price reduction on goods from us) and by this means repay without hurt. Also her captured resources and mar kets in Europe and Asia hi.e permanently enhanced her li nanctal and economic position In spite of injured industry does she not have genuine ability to pay? e e THE condition Is different as regards the British empire?, The Netherlands, France and others, including China but not totally. The British, Dutch. French and Chinese( now ex panded through Manchuria) con trol the world output of every material we are short of. True, they are financially on the brink (the world has put up some $18,000,000,000 to help them through the Bretton Woods bank and exchange fund), but after the first world' war, they conducted world car tels and monopolies in such strategic materials as rubber and tin. Could not a small yearly percentage of that mon opolistic production be applied to reverse give-lease to help us build permanent stock piles, or ever-normal supplies of man ganese (which Russia has in abundance), tungsten, linseed oil, quinine, and even Pacific oil to keep our patrol battle ships going around Japan in the Interest of world peace, without having to ship fuel to them across that vast ocean? Government authorities do not seem to want the West In dies and Bermuda, which are valuable defenses and air bases, on the ground that we would have to support the poor natives. e e 'TWERE can be no debate about - the fact tnat our ainea friends have been short in "com mitments" of every kind to us. political as well as economic: have made none outside the United Nations charter, which is on a mutual basis. The Brit ish are socializing the Bank of England while seeking a new dollar loan directly from us, in addition to the financial aid of the Bretton Woods agreements and promising to side with Rus sia on the continent. The Rus sians have resisted our policies throughoue Europe, and what trade or interests we will get or he able to maintain there is dubious. The field of "commitments" which could be made to us is limitless in both politics and economics, upon which a friend who owes you money might well wish to make a "commitment" to establish good will if we asked for it. My inside information sug gests Mr. Truman made his too all-embracing observation for world consumption because his earlier cessation of give-lease had been a shock to the nations which expected to get rehabili tated at Uncle Sam's expense. A leading government official, just back from Europe, Is telling his colleagues of the astonishing ex tent to which they were shocked.

I am a vet from Africa and Sicily my self. When I was "over there" 1 used to dream about how I was going to lay around for at least six months and do nothing but eat the best of foods and sleep in nothing but the best of beds. When I came back here I did everything I had promised my self except the six months of laying around. In five days of "civics" I had taken a civil serv ice exam and had been sworn in. I worked in a payroll section at a civil service department and every day signed fellows up for work who had been out of the army for two weeks at the most and they were "stickers on the Job too." Not a one of them could stand this laying around. 1 have been timekeeper for a lumber company up here at Butte Falls, Oregon, for the past 14 months, and have signed fel lows who want to work while they are on furloughs and passes! Now Millard W. Rice, national service director of the Disabled American Veterans should get the idea put into his head Uiat maybe a few of these boys are resting up and they will come out of it. Lots of people did not want to know a war was going on (1 know, because I was "de tailed" to sell bonds) because it cost them too much war taxes. Now these people are the first ones to rend anything like Mr. Rice's article. And as a result there Is an atomic starting of tongues In regards to servicemen receiving a measly $20 a week. But!
