which has actually drawn candidates from both parties,

Klamath county, are still wide open.

: Since the last election, certain changes have been made
in Klamath, county precincts. The people living in these
precincts, who are, affected by the changes, have been
notified by personal cards and asked to come into the
county clerk's office to. adjust their registration.
The response, thus far, has been pitiful. Unless these
people take care of this matter, they are going to run into
trouble at election time if they want to vote.
' Anyone who has changed address since the last elec

to change party registration, should also re-register at the

There is another interesting story that is vouched for
by Oregon State grads. At Honolulu on December 7, a
few American planes managed to get into the air and
battle the Japs. One of these planes was piloted by an
Oregon State man, and he brought down a Jap plane.
Landing, the American went quickly to the wrecked Jap
plane and as he approached, he could see one arm of
the dead pilot hanging outside the plane. On closer in
spection, he could see on one of the fingers a ring an
Oregon State ring. The Jap was a former Oregon State
student the American had known well on the Corvallis
campus. M. E.

WASHINGTON, March 20
,. (' Those criticisms of the
Smith anti-forty hour week bill,
which have been gushing from
government officials, all came
after they had privately heard
from tho boss in the White
House. And the gushing seemed
slightly painful for some of the
officials who previously had
taken a somewhat different
view.
First, the president brought
the matter up at a conference
with the legislative leaders of
the house and senate last Mon
day. Next day. Senate Leader
Barkley made a statement on
the floor saying just what the
president subsequently said in
press conference there are
few strikes and therefore no
further restrictions should be
placed on the unions.
As Barkley was speaking, Mr
Roosevelt called into the White
House the war under secretary
ratterson, wavy Assistant sec
retary Ralph Bard and Admiral I
Land of the maritime commis
sion. Wednesday they all appear
ed before a senate appropria
tions sub-committee and strange
ly expressed the same senti
ments, to a word. The objections
were not Wholly expected from
Land and Patterson, both of
whom testified some weeks back
in favor of the Connally anti-
strike bill, designed to cause
government seizure of striking
defense plants and the freezing
of labor conditions in them until
after the war. It is not the same
in detail as the Smith bill, but
obviously Land and Patterson
had changed their opinions
about anti-strike legislation.
Another legislative leader.
Speaker Rayburn, thereupon
came out simultaneously with
the same ideas, a little late, but
nevertheless firm.
While these men spoke for
themselves, they agreed even
down to the one voluntary re
striction -which Mr. Roosevelt
ants labor to accept abandon
ment of double time for Sun
days.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
The president has said some
people were under the errone
ous impression existing law re
quires a 40-hour week, but
everyone around Washington
knew what the issue was whe
ther time and a half should be
paid for work above 40 hours
each week. Mr. Roosevelt was
right again when he said there
are few strikes today. There are
probably fewer than there ever
will be. The heat has been put
on the unions by congress and
every one, in and out of govern
ment, has been doing his utmost
to keep the boys in line.
Therefore the only immediate
ly important part of the Smith
bill discussion was whether de
fense workers should continue
to get a 50 per cent wage in
crease for any work above the
5-day week, 8-hour day. (The bill
also limited industrial profits to

6 per cent and outlawed the
closed shop.)
What gave the Issue such Im
portance at this time is the
shortage of skilled labor which
hinders employment of two or
three shifts at regular pay. De
fense manufacturers who are
working on a cost plus fixed fee
basis do not care about the in
creased cost of overtime which
is merely reflected in increased
prices of tanks, planes or what
not to the government and tax
payers. But manufacturers who
are not working on a fixed fee
are not going to pay much over
time and thus increase their
wage costs 50 per cent. Hence
their end of production is not
likely to reach its fullest possi
bilities under such an arrange
ment.
But apparently the govern
ment officials decided produc-
tion might be delayed far more
by labor if the time and a half
overtime was abandoned.
However, no one has yet start
ed a move to pay the soldiers
time and a half for overtime at
the machine guns or In the
planes after they are built.
FREEZING PONDERED
Now all this apparently does
not affect the idea of freezing
prices, wages and profits. Mr
Roosevelt is still thinking about
this.
There are some who say the
puunc announcements oi nis Co
gitations were intended mainly
to keep labor In line, to induce
it to be careful about its de
mands for wage increases. If so.
his cogitations may last a long
lime. His price fixer Leon Hen

The president's war labor

spite Mr. Henderson's warning
before he left, that further wage
increases would throw the whole
economic balance further out of
line.
There will be no more under

war production board.
