When Both Boards Act
ON all matters relating to both elementary, and high
schools, the local, school boards are operating on
what amounts to a bicameral system, like the legislature.
One board initiates an action, but it is not completed
util the other group acts.
This raises a question of publicity upon the matters
before the boards. The theory evidently held by school
officials thus far is that announcement of an action is
not made until it is completed by both boards.
That policy was followed in connection this week with
the selection of Andrew J. Loney. of . La, . Grande as di
rector of music in the public schools for next year. The
, high school board met on Monday night, acted upon the
Loney matter, and turned it over to the city school board
which met on Wednesday evening for final consideration.
r All actions of the high school board pertaining strictly
to' high school matters were announced after the Monday
meeting, but not the Loney election, because final action
oa that had to wait for the city board meeting.
This, also, was a matter of personnel, and that brings
up the question of the propriety of public announcement
that an individual is being considered tor a position as
long as there exists the possibility the final action may
not be taken.
Ordinarily, it would not make much difference. On
this matter, however, there is considerable public interest,
and it is possible there are those who would have liked
.nVJ ' 1 A. J.t -WT " l .
ionave Deen .neara at me weanesaay mgnt meeting oe
frjre final action was taken..- If the partial action had been
announced,, they would have had sufficient" advance
notice., , . -f
This is not intended' as' criticism of anybody. Anyone
present at the first meeting, including newspaper re
porters, would have witnessed the partial . action in a
public session. The meeting was not attended by out
siders, and school officials, in making the announcement
of action at the meeting, followed the theory 'of .with
holding announcement of the matter on which final action
had not been taken by both boards.' -
Newspapers and school officials alike may well con
aider the advisability of revising policy in this connection
and reporting even partially completed action on mat-
Mrs pertaining to both school districts.
A new and rather unusual situation exists here, be
cause or the new system of sound cooperation between
the .two boards, and. such problems as this one -must be
worxea out as tney-develop. What is intended, in this
piece is a frank explanation of what-happened on rone

Lieut. Governor General Hu-

months to restore wrecked oil

Continuing to Canberra from

Australian service chiefs the
best means of using whatever

forces, particularly from the
navy and air force, had escaped
from, the Indies and that when
they were reorganized they
would "resume the fight."

that we are, not out of the war,"

WASHINGTON, March 12
Donald Nelson is not one to
let sore situations lie around
festering. He called in ClO's
Phil Murray and AFL's William
Green last Saturday for a quiet
conference about his idea of labor-management
committees to
further the "more production
drive."
Mr. Nelson said this was
strictly a war measure. The
committees should not take up
collective bargaining phases,
wage and hour grievances or
anything except ways of expand
ing production.
Messrs. Murray and Green
agreed this was their under
standing of his purposes and
promised to pass the word down
the labor line. They professed
10 oe as uneasy about the pos
sibility of management edging
Into labor's sphere through the
Nelson arrangement as manage
ment is vice versa.
STILL A QUESTION
Whether this, plus Nelson's
speech explaining his purpose
will be enough to dispel man
agement suspicions is the only
remaining question. Everyone
nas confidence in Nelson per
sonally. An auto manufacturer
(not in the big three) came in to
ask him what hfe was up to in
his labor-management commit
tee scheme. The auto man said
he would put two CIO men on
his board of directors if neces
sary, to win the war, but that he
already had a Joint harmony
committee. Nelson told him
WPB would be satisfied with
any arrangement which enabled
it to get ideas from the work
ers about expanding production.
Ha went away satisfied.

NEARSIGHTED
Some government officials
(not Nelson) are developing a
maungiiiHi ana dangerous tend'
ency to attribute to an, report
er who publishes criticism, the
personal instigation of that criti
cism. It seems to make them
happier to believe the only one
m me u. s. who is criticizing
their handiwork is the newsman
who in this instance again was
only an agent for expressing
business hesitancy which would
have J injured success of the
. Only justification fnr irt.
tug oojecnons to : sovernment
policy in this war Is to iron out
ditterences and establish unity,
coniidence and efficiency. A
constructive ball seems to have
been started rolling in this labor-
management committee instance
as in many another.
So it really does not matter
now angry officials get, as Jong
as constructive corrections" can
be achieved.
SUB RE FUELING
Suspicious nazi traffic ha
been noted around the Cape
Verde islands, off Africa, and
the story is going round that the
axis Is using them as refueling
bases for these subs attacking
our coast.
Every previous search for re
fueling bases in the Caribbean
or for mother ships, has proved
futile. It is still doubted that
the .subs need close refuelinu
bases, although they may be
picxing up torpedoes and am
munition somewhere outside
axis waters.
Germany is reported to have
nearly 300 submarines, some
still building, Italy around 80.
The Vichy French had 59 built
and 22 building and the nazis
have no doubt stolen the 22
building, if not some of the
built So it looks like we are
faced with a possible Atlantic
fleet of about 400 undersea
boats enough to challenge any
patrol for a long time.

Air Control

Reports Hart
WASHINGTON, Mar. 12 (UP)
Admiral Thomas C. Hart, form
er chief of the United Nations
naval forces in the Far East, said
yesterday Japan's unbroken con
trol of the air was primarily re
sponsible for the allied defeat in
the southwest Pacific.
Bluntly declaring the enemy
had won that "campaign" but
not the war he said the Jap-
anese paid a great price for their
victory; that their ship losses
and limited replacement capacity
"are bound to be subject for his
future concern."
By comparison, he said, allied
losses with the exception of
the British dreadnaughts Prince
of Wales and Repulse "are not
serious."
The wiry little admiral, who
recently aske to be relieved of
his command because of illness,
brought back from the ,war
theater the encouraging word
that "much" of the American
Asiatic fleet, which is under hU
command, still remains for the
fight against the enemy.
In the first official account of
how and why the Japanese jug
gernaut rolled to victory. Hart
said the allied naval forces
which "were not large" and
which consisted largely of Amer
lean ships were handicapped
by the Japanese aerial super
iority. .
A "severe" blow to the allied
ping them off the root into pri
vate me. Even the attic is get
ting filled now.
WPB announced one day the
banning of gold and silver mines
from priorities for machinery
for repair and maintenance
(urftier preference rating order-
No. 56.) Apparently they were
not considered essential. Next
day it announced it did not mean
they would be cut off. It was
then ordered that only mines
whose production consists of
geld and silver to more than
30 per cent of total dollar vol
ume (hence not lead, zinc and
copper) would suffer. But even
these would get an A-iO rating
Insiders attribute the major
alteration to Republican Gov.
Carr of Colorado who burned
the wires to Washington with
accounts of what a complete de
nial of priorities would do to his
region economically.
V
Another unique reason for a
war-time strike in a defense in
dustry has been reported to a
government department. AFL
workers at an Ohio bronze fac
tory called a strike because the
parking lot provided for them
was muddy. Several loads of
cinders were brought in to make
the workers return to the ship
appurtenances they were mak-
causc was the loss early In the
war of the Repulse and the
Prince of Wales, "the only two
capital ships on our side."
He defended the Ill-fated ex
peditior. of the BWO British bat
tlewagons which rteamcd up tht
Malayan coast without aorial
protection and were sunk by Jap
aircraft he said it is now ap
parent that British Admiral
Phillips took "the only course
which cquid have saved Singa
pore." Another great blow to the al
lied cause was loss of naval bases
through enemy Diane net inn h

MORE ON ALIENS
MERRILL, Ore. (TO THE ED
ITOR) 1 have waited two weeks
to seo if anybody else had some,
thing to say about iillon cuimm
It seems Frank Elzncr was the
only one that thought the alien
camps were a poor policy for pui
community. H0 tolls mo directly
that I'm wrong and tolls us what
and wlicro ho hus been and done
lust war. No one should bran
oooui Himself and then soy In
plain words ho is afraid to flulit
again after not accomplialiing
anything before. For if we would
have wiped out Germany In last
war there would bo no Hitler
Ism now. We wouldn't have lo
be afraid that Japs will do this
or mat. Our question still stands
what shall we do with the
aliens?
Why worry what they may do
in our vicinity, when wo reollv
know the same thing . uld be
clone In other states? Why send
them to middle states, thousands
of them, to divide eastern slides
from western slates? And analn
to every 1000 of aliens about 250
of our army men to watch over
them. Four of them to one of
us. No fence, no wall can hold
them without sufficient army
men to watoh. It has been proven
mat no criminal can be he d un.
der the best of supervision. Why
icca mem and give them
chnnco to reorganize?
The attitude wo feel toward
our country Is the attitude of
our lire. In other words lrf nof
dodge the work that is ours. Let
us go Into this heartily. Everv
truo American should shore his
sharo of work without trying to
sup more work on the other
parti-. Volunteers are needed
And it should bo us hero in tho
west moro than ever, for we are
the ones that's to suffer sooner
than middle stato people. It
doesn't make no difference who
is to fire the shot that will kill
the enemy as long as he Is dead.
ii we must kill.
Don't try to tell nie that Japs
are worse than Germans or
Italians, they are not. Wo only
look upon tltem as worst of all
becauso of Pearl Harbor. Hit
ler took small countries and
showed another nation that It
can bejdone as long as thcro are
cowards to give un. In sood old
USA we musf have peoplo who
can fight, and fight to last man,
woman and child side by side.
Germans In U. S. were given
enough ropo to get In all of
fices, Italians commit most of
our crimes, Japs were not even
considered good enough people
to give a title to piece of ground
to call their own, so they are
-trying to show us that they can
iick us. bo let s take an example
of their work and fight. Let's
fight even if It must be here
where you are afraid of them
Let's form an army of our own
in this vicinity and show each
and every alien Including those
office men, crlmo men, and Japs,
that wo won't run like Edwar
