Oct. 6 U.R Jake Leicht the Leicht that didn't fail for the university oi Oregon with his interceptions, end runs and passing sparked the Webfeet to a 33 to 7 football victory over the University of Idaho here this afternoon. Quarterback Leicht, a late campus arrival after a brilliant nrDar vuith nrmv teams, set UP Oregon's first touchdown in the first two minutes of the opening quarter by returning Hatch's kick 31 yards to the Idaho 25, later eluding three laano rac i nitrh a nass to End War berg, who scored from the Van dal two-yard line. It was a field day for Tex Oliver's Webfoot's 25 substi tutes seeing play for the second, third and clear into the fourth- Vandal Coach Brown also te- lied on reserves, but his team wa ahle to score only in the last quarter on a nine-yard pass from Half Shepherd to i.na Jim Brown into the end zone. The Idaho touchdown was set up by a fumble recovered by leit ana 4, .or Orpffon's second score was in the first period, when Leicht went wide around his lett end fnr a tflllv. In that period Idaho invaded Oregon territory only once, to the 47-yard line. Tha Wnhfnnt.c scored aeatn in the second period, when Leicht passed to right End Bob Anaer Knn In the end zone. The third period was the big nna -fnr flrpenn. After Hatch had fumbled for Idaho, Leicht recovered on the Vandal 29 and right Half Donovan went wide to the left for the tally. .Tnhnsnn took a shuttle rjass then went 20 yards for the other touchdown. Pullman, Wash., Oct. 8 (U.R) Washington State college ex' ploded a crack T-formation to smother Oregon State 33-0 in a Pacific Coast conference football tilt today before 9,000 fans. The WSC offense clicked in every period against the shaky Oregon State line and even Coach Phil Sorboe's fourth string backfield managed to score in the heavily-substituted game. The Cougars opened up with a touchdown in the first two minutes of the game and follow ed with another toward the end of the period. Each of the next three periods saw WSC score touchdowns. Coach Lon Stiner's inexperi enced backfield found it rough going against Washington State's solid wall and threatened to score only once in the last period when a long looping pass from Halfback Neil Richardson to Rodney Jones brought the ball to WSC's 27-yard line. But the Beavers stalled on the 21. High School Scores Klamath Falls 13. Ashland 6. Grants Pass 20, Coos Bay 0. The Dalles 14, Bend 7. Roseburg 51, University 0 Salem 14, Albany 7. Central Catholic 6.

FIR DANGER ON THE PRODUCTION FRONT How Much Will You Have to Pay for Your New Car? How Long Will You Have to Wait to Get It? RECONVERSION BOGGING DOWN Strikes are threatening the- entire automobile industry. General Motors is being speci fically singled out for attack to enforce un reasonable demands. Some of our plants have already been closed and shipment of mate rials from the plants of many of our suppliers has already been stopped by strikes. The interests of all Americans should be considered. This is not only a General Motors problem. It is a national one as well. If our plants are closed by strikes the strikes will be against the interests of all the people of our country as much as they will be against General Motors. AFTERMATH While the war is over, OF WAR the aftermath of war pre sents big problems. War is terribly wasteful in blood and treasure. This one was especially so. It was not prosperity even though to some it may have seemed to be. And the immediate aftermath of such a war cannot be prosperity either. The clean-up, the mopping-up, the reconversion still re quire hard work, patience, understanding, and some sacrifice on the part of all of us. INDUSTRY Our fighting men crushed ON THE JOB our enemies with the huge quantity of weapons pro duced by American industry. But that is behind us. We would like to have been better prepared for peace, but the terrific demands of the war for men and materials did not make this possible. Now we have planned a second all-out effort and stand ready and anxious to do an equally impressive job. PROBLEMS OF RECONVERSION American industry has proved its ability to perform. It has the know-how, the resources, the courage to push ahead. But even with these fine assets it cannot do the job alone. It must have the goodwill and backing of the people of our country. Our second all-out effort to meet a critical situation will bog down unless the real facts are recognized and sound measures promptly taken to solve the problems. Temporarily, while we are liquidating the war, there should be a sound national wage-price policy to stabilize and expand the economy. DANGER OF The most serious threat we INFLATION face is that of runaway inflation. The danger comes from three sources: first, the wartime and current tremendous deficit spending of our government; second, the pent-up de mands for goods and services to the point where some are willing to pay excess prices even in black markets to satisfy their impa tient and selfish desires; third, the desires of equally selfish unions to take advantage of the situation and force unreasonable wage increases. Inflation is the worst of all economic diseases. It reduces the value of money in terms of what money will buy. It reduces the value of the savings of the people. It under mines security. It underwrites depression. It destroys confidence. It creates unemploy ment. Inflation must be avoided. REAL In a free market and in the absence PRICES of subsidies and speculation, the cost of human effort, be it in die form of wages, salaries or other forms of compensation, quickly determines the price we pay for goods. Higher wages without a corresponding increase in productivity are inflationary. Nothing is gained unless higher wages mean more goods and services, more customers and more good jobs. This requires individual application to the job in hand and technologi cal progress all along the line better ways of doing all the things that must be done to produce and deliver products to customers at reasonable prices. This takes time. A minority, by monopoly or by pressure group action, may temporarily profit at the expense of others. But the idea of wage in creases all along the line without a corre sponding increase in productivity is a delu sion. All the people cannot lift themselves by their bootstraps. UNION Today, unions in our plants DEMANDS are demanding 52 hours' pay for 40 hours' work. Their de mands if granted would result in over 67 hours' pay at present base rates for 48 hours of work where plants are working on such a schedule. Equivalent or greater demands have been made on our suppliers the parts manufac turersthe electrical industry the steel in dustry the rubber industry the oil and gasoline industry the railroads in fact, on practically every industry involved in the production of automobiles. WAGES AND General Motors wages are PRICES now at an all-time high and are importantly higher than the average wages paid throughout the country for similar work. The present government stabilization policy permits wage increases without government approval only if such increases will not re sult in a request to increase prices. The formula the OPA has proposed for pricing our new products does not recognize or allow all the actual increases in our costs that have been incurred since 1942. Neither is there any provision in the pres ent OPA formula for increasing prices to compensate for the additional costs that n'ould be incurred if wages and salaries were increased at this time. A sound and equitable solution must be found in the interests of not only our 400,000 employes, but our 426,000 stockholders, our 15,214 automobile dealers, who have had no new cars for over three years, our 10,000 subcontractors and suppliers and their em ployes, and the more than 10,000,000 poten tial customers who are anxiously waiting for new cars and our other products they need so badly. WARTIME General Motors did not make PROFITS big profits during the war. Although sales and employ ment doubled, the average yearly net profit in dollars earned during the war was less than the average prewar net profit. Divi dends paid to stockholders averaged less than those paid before the war. The war profit limitation policy voluntarily adopted by General Motors immediately after Pearl Harbor was so reasonable that the re sulting profits were accepted in renegotiation without change by our government for the years 1942, 1943 and 1944. During the war, Victory Was Our Business. EXCESS WAGES REFUSED Demands are being made for higher wages without any corre sponding increase in production, on the as sumption that the additional costs can be absorbed from profits previously earned or from uncertain future profits. General Motors cannot use money saved up for many years for the purpose of modernizing and expanding its plants and providing more good jobs, to pay excess wages for work not performed. The money cannot be spent twice. Neither can excess wages be currently paid from presumed future excess profits when a realistic forecast of costs shows there will be no such excess profits. Nor can we pay from current income the increased wages demanded when the present OPA policy holds prices to substantially 1942 levels especially in view of the fact that there have been important increases in wages and operating costs since 1942. Runaicay inflation must be avoided. If an adjustment in price levels must be made at this time, the interests of all the people must be fairly considered. If tcage and salary increases are made, it must.be recognized that they increase costs and such costs must be adequately reflected in the prices of products produced. Internal strife and unemployment must be avoided. Only productive tcork and more good jobs tcill increase our standard of living and satisfy the desires of the American people.
