It will be a month ' however, before cutting It with . a razor, will be over. e e e The federal bureau ot prisons has condemned 32 of 39 city and county Jails In Oregon, as unfit. The fact so many of their bas tiles were uncomfortable, for people who Insist oh getting into them, should cause no State-wide hanging of the civic head. The report also reveals many of the sheriffs have no background, in tho handling of criminals. All they know is to lock up the cell, and walk off with the key. Citi zens are urged in the report to remedy the "deplorable condi tion." As the majority will be have themselves, and not get caught, no relief Is in sight. e e e .

And they haven't liked the current picture of the little curly fead they left behind.

Letter From Washington Br HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ot Congress From Oregon ONCE AGAIN we are assured that the plant to produce alcohol and other useful products from sawdust will be completed. Since July, the fate of this project, which has been under construc tion at Springfield, Oregon, for several months, has been in doubt. The plant was ordered con structed at Springfield by the War Production Board for the purpose of producing alcohol for war from a nonfood source. being observed this week the country.

W R Shortly after the end of the war in Europe, and when the end of the Japanese war seemed to be in sight, the War Production Board ordered construction stop ped. The fact that a supplemental application for additional funds to complete the project was filed about that time probably hasten ed the decision to stop the con struction work. The WPB doubt less felt that it could not, as a war agency, authorize expendi ture of an additional sum under the circumstances. It then became necessary to Justify the completion of the plant by the government. Care ful investigations were made to determine whether or not the plant could be operated on a peace-time basis. The results of these investigations were favor able. The Department of Agri culture, through Secretary An derson, undertook, in so far as it could, the sponsorship of the project, and informed both John Snyder, head of the Office of War Mobilization and Reconver sion, and heads of the Recon struction Finance Corporation, that the project was considered necessary in the national inter est. Under the reconversion law, John Snyder is supreme author ity in such matters. On the basis of assurances mentioned above, Mr. Snyder approved the com pletion of the plant. The Board of Directors of RFC likewise voted to complete it. and tho Wil. lamette Valley Wood Chemical L-ompany was so informed. Not only will the new plant produce alcohol, but it can and doubtless will produce high pro tein feed, dry Ice, gypsum, fur fural and some other nrnrinrts The establishment of this plant and the successful operation of it will undoubtedly lead to the con struction of more such plants In tne future, with the result that wood which is now eoine to waste will be used. e IN FORMER newsletters. I have discussed the so-called 'full-em ployment bill" at some length. As anyone who read my previous comments about it, would real ize, I do not think much of this piece of legislation, although I consider it harmless. I have just learned that the House of Repre sentatives Committee on Ex penditures in Executive Depart ments will almost certainly re fuse to report the bill to the Floor of the House. This means that, in spite of the fact that the bill as finally passed by the Sen ate was amended so as to be un objectionable, it will not be en acted during this session of Con gress. . . e e e THE HOUSE Ways and Means Committee is working on a tax bill. Everyone seems to agree that present federal tax rates will be reduced. The bill to provide for the dis posal of surplus merchant ships has been passed by the House. As nearly as I could tell from the debate and from discussions I have had with members, no one feels entirely satisfied with the ship disposal bill. It endeavors to solve a very complicated prob lem. Perhaps the best we can do is to hope that it is a good bill and plan to amend it in the future where necessary. Livestock Portlnnd. Oct. 10 (U.P.I L 1 v e- itock Cnttlr ..to. calves 50.
