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.

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

rightly heralded by commenta

"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.
