they know is to lock up the cell,

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.

R. 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.

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.
