Six Montha One Vrar Labor for Lumber Industry ALTHOUGH there has been a great deal of public concern manifest in the farm labor supply problem .here, not much has been said on the question of main taining; an adequate labor supply for the vitally important lumber industry of the Klamath basin. It is a fact that the lumber industry has been exper iencing difficulty m finding needed to fulfill the industry's big wartime production program. This condition exists not only m the Klamath basin, but throughout the industry on the west coast. F. H. Brundage, western for the war production board, this week warned that the lumber industry faces "disaster and failure in its war effort within a few months, woods. "I say this in all seriousness," said Brundage. "Unless log supplies can be increased, the lumber industry will bo unable to meet the obligations to which it has pledged itself in the war effort." This statement is strictly, in accord with serious local concern expressed at this week's directors meeting of the Klamath county chamber of commerce. Here there has been a tendency of lumber workers to go to the coastal centers where war industries have recently developed and there has been a growing demand for workers. Perhaps local workmen have not realized that the lumber industry has been designated a "critical industry" in the war effort. Brundage, speaking for the war pro duction, board,, made this plain, and added that it is im portant "to impress upon lumber workers that they are making just as big a contribution to the war efforts in the woods or mill as they would be in a shipyard or plane factory." Incidentally, the same draft deferment conditions exist for a skilled woods worker as a technician in a "war plant" on the coast. . . Aside from the patriotic motive, woods and mill work ers are receiving wages which, all things considered, re move the monetary justification for moving from their homes in this basin to the large factory centers. This is another point emphasized by the war production board, and an analysis of mill and logging wages in this dis trict may be prepared in this connection. , There is a need for local realization of all of these facts, not only by our working people, but by those who may engage in recruiting men here for labor in defense industries elsewhere. We have a big and vital defense industry right here, one that has been so declared by the war production board, and maintenance of an adequate labor supply for this industry is a matter of important public policy. Alien Arrests THE arrest of 11 alien residents of Klamath county on charges of violating the curfew or possessing contra band does not mean that there has been any plotting against the government here or even that there" has been any malicious violation of. the wartime regulations of alien activity. . : From comments made by the investigating officers, we gather that the offending aliens were guilty of care lessness, committing technical violations that are prob ably harmless in themselves but cannot be permitted to continue. Widespread publicity has been given the military regu lations set up after Pearl Harbor, designed to control the activities of aliens. They force upon aliens changes in their habits and modes of living which they must accept. They cannot go on living as they have in the past and doing some of the things they have in the past, even though in individual cases no harmful intent exists. Whereas west coast residents of Japanese descent have been placed in reception centers, such as that at Tulelake, Caucasian aliens thus far have been given com parative freedom but are expected to follow to the letter the regulations set up by presidential proclamation. Not all of them have been doing this. The FBI raids here should serve as a jolting reminder that alien residents of this country must adopt the code of behaviour set out for them by authorities, or accept far more drastic measures. Maritime Service Again Enrolls Apprentice Seamen The United States maritime service again Is enrolling appren tice seamen for training to be come able-bodied seamen In ships of the American merchant marine, Lieut. Comdr. Ben C. Wilcox, Seattle District enroll ing officer, announced today. The enrollment program will be revitalized with a weekly quota of men being sent to the Port Hueneme, Calif., training station from the Seattle enroll ing office, Room 31, Federal Of fice building. Candidates for the training need have no seagoing experi ence, but must be between 18 and 30 years old, prove they are citizens, submit character refer ences and pass a physical exam ination. Prospective enrollees less than 21 years old must have the written consent of their par ents.

Gt0e.e Behi a. -- I jr jt w-V J By PaulMallom WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 Mr. Roosevelt's appoint ment list of 105 new generals (major and brigadier) may have meant no more to the general public than readinR page from the telephone book, but to those who see the irmy up close, ar from the in side, it repre tented an In spiring effort to put fighting Liiil amu quali ty at tha top in the field. No more than two or three names could cause fellow officers to ask themselves the usual question: "How lt hell did he get up there?" The number of duds and dudes assayed no higher than 3 or 3 per cent, which is a ret- on). These new generals average somewhere around their middle forties in age, not as young as they might be, but young enough. They are generally to take fighting tank commands, new air borne divisions, the air plane ferry command, and some are now already overseas, Their choice is a trihntn in the inner army efficiency re porting system. A few were plucked out for exceptional per sonality and ability, without a record, but most were chosen because they had efficiency rec ords. The list is a definite answer to the popular prayer for ag gressive leadership in the field. SIGNPOST HOAX Those front-page official gov- ernment photographs showing how nazi saboteurs had plowed our fields into huge arrows, or marked them with sacks of grain to direct the way for nazi bombers to our strategic objec tives, may turn out to have been an unintended government hoax. The war department has an nounced it is investigating their authenticity, and has promised appropriate action against the culprits. These photographs were pre pared months ago by our own forces to illustrate what army aviators might expect from nazi saboteurs, not what the sabo teurs had done. They were in tended to warn our fliers as to what to look for, while flying around the country. Authorities at a certain east ern airfield discovered these old pictures, after the trial of the eight saboteurs here, and presu mably somehow reached the er roneous conclusion that they represented actual sabotage work, already done. The photos were released to the press as such. Headquarters here, discovering . the mistake, issued its tight-lipped doubts and promised inquiry. Such a scare-blunder may. be expected once in the colossal business of conducting war but not again. WHAT? A GENERAL? When officers are serving overseas, the official text of their commissions for promotion is sent to their families. One such Florida family was amaz edly proud the other day to see notice that a son had been com missioned a brigadier general especially as he was only a sec ond looey. They could not be lieve it. In fact; they were so amazed, they sought confirma tion. Only then was it discovered that a commission for their son to be promoted to a first lieu tenant had been sent to the Iowa family of the brigadier general who had the first and last names (Harold M. McClelland) and they had received the brig adier generalship through a mistake. The correction left them only slightly less proud. DEFENSIVE NEWS The Admiral King statement. telling the first news of our at tack on the Solomons, has been rightly heralded by commenta tors as a gratifying innovation Lflhaf "flu "Th f.ilj-jSSSi II t ,dV .Ji.w 7J. Va.VaiVa. COP Ifl-U BY HtA atH-VrCf. IMC. T. M. a U. . "My older brother wanted to stay home and support to be in in official news policy. While it told little, it did so promptly, which is an improvement. But it seemed to mo also to represent a charactcristie de fensive type of officinl publicity that has gone on too long. A defensive statement in my mind is one which is responsive to accusation in character, or car ries an apologetic or defensive undertone. It is not sclf-assert- lvc, firm, confident. Admiral King said we at tacked, but did not say how. However, he said the Japs counter-attacked "with rapidity and vigor." Furthermore, hc strongly stressed the point that the action was very dangerous and "considerable losses" must be expected "for the hard-won experience. The statement was concocted m response to the grandiose Jap claims and thus may have as sumed a defensive nature, or perhaps was intended as a fore cast of bad news. In any event too many of our officials feel they must be defensive in their statements, even when announc ing offensive action. The public must know it is In a war by now, and that wars mean casualties. The heaviness of them is not as important as whether we won or lost. From a humane standpoint It is regrettable anyone should die in war, but common sense tells everyone that victories bring the war to an earlier conclusion and thereby really save lives in the long run, no matter the im mediate cost. That we are' fight ing aggressively to gain them, therefore, is the best possible news. A lot of folks have their eves shut because they can't keen their mouth shut.
