Senator Johnson (R-Calif.)
told his colleagues today he was
opposed to "calling of children
to fight our battles" in the first
open senate opposition to legis
lation for drafting 18 and 19-year-olds.
The white-haired Californlan,
a pre-Pearl Harbor opponent of
the administration's foreignpoll
cles, declared that passage of the
legislation meant that many chil
dren were going to be sent to
death in foreign parts of the
world.
Asserting that no man wanted
more to win the war than he,
Johnson said he could not stand
idly by and see a generation dec
imated. 1 He had no doubt, he
said, that the 18 and 19-year-olds
were ready to fight.
"Of course, they are willing to
do anything," he declared. "Of
course they are willing to fight
at the drop of the hat. They are
adventuresome and dare-devilish.
"That is the very reason we
should throw out protective
hands about them."
Chief among other amend
ments was one to keep 18 and
19-year-old men out of combat

TO BUY ALL
DOUGLAS FIR
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 ()
Douglas fir lumber produced
from timber grown on the west
ern side of the Cascade range
henceforth must be sold to the
single procuring agency desig
nated by the government, the
war production board has or
dered. Accompanying the order,
which was Issued yesterday, was
a statement that the WPB re
gards Douglas fir lumber as
"the most critical species of lum
ber in the United States for war
purposes."
At Seattle, Col. W. B. Gree
ley, secretary-manager of the
West Coast Lumbermen's associ
ation, said the order was a fur
ther step to "freeze" all Doug
las fir production above the low
est commercial grade under con
trol of the lumber procurement
office of the corps of engineers,
at Portland.
He said the order would be
come effective October 29. It
applies to all Douglas fir over
the grade of No. 3, the lowest
commercial grade. Other lum
ber such as red cedar, spruce
and hemlock remains under the
present system of priorities.
War requirements now take
more than 90 per cent of the en
tire west coast lumber produc
tion and mills now have more
than one billion feet of unfilled
orders, he said. "Despite a la
bor shortage which has reached
25 per cent, a log shortage In
some operations and lesser operating-equipment,
the industry
has maintained production thus
far this year approximately
three per cent . over the same
period last year.
Tire Program
To Be Announced
November 15
(Continued From Page One)
when new tire sales were
frozen.
Under the program any mo
torist complying with the rules
essential to obtaining an "A"
gasoline rationing card would
be able to obtain a replacement
tire by proving need. The au
thorization would come through
his rationing board, which
would determine whether he
should receive a re-capped tire,
one of the new reclaimed rub
ber or "victory" casings, or a
pre-war grade A tire.
A feature of the program,
however, will, be the premise
that any motorist entitled to an
"A" gasoline rationing card will
be eligible for some kind of
serviceable replacement tire
when his need arises.
Always read the want-ads.

trucking restrictions will pre
vent as wide a distribution as in
other years.
"It's got us worried," Charles
R. Milburn, regional manager of
a large Christmas tree concern,
said today. "Last year we sent
out 845 carloads from the north
west states and British Colum
bia. "We have as many orders this
year, for our salesmen start
work right after New Yenrs and
by the first of July at least 09
per cent of our sales lire made,
But this year probably we won't
bo able to movo as many."
Army posts,, however, have
their orders In and navy requests
for trees-will also undoubtedly
bo filled.
Milburn conferred this week
with office of defense transpor
tation officials to receive instruc
tions on how many trees he may
handle. Later, O. T. Kenney,
assistant director of rail termi
nals for the ODT in this area,
said every effort would be made
to move as many trees this year
as last. With better shipping ar
rangements, he said, fewer cars
may bo required this year.
"It's part of our sacrifice to
help the war effort and we're
glad to make it," Milburn said.
"But back in the prairie country
I wonder what people will do.
Maybe thoy'll have to use bushes
or corn stalks."

FUR COFFEE
By OABETH MACHMOBE
NEW YORK. Oct. 23 (AI
The widespread coffee scarcity
had processers hunting today
for substitutes with almost the
frenzy of a housewife haunting
the stores for a pound of cof
fee. You may be asked to mix a
little toasted bran with your
coffee to make It go farther,
but roasters hope It won't be
necessary.
They're trying to find a good
substitute, or "extender," Just
in case,
SubttltutM
Aa talk of rationing Increas
ed one big dealer suggested
every other sugar coupon be
good also for coffee until for
mal rationing books could be
issued. Tho shortage was call
ed partly "temporary" and
roasters talked of a probable in
crease In supplies.
Among the various substitutes
tested were some which could
be sold separately. Then the
housewife could mix her own
and try to suit her family's
taste.
Oliver J. Corbett, secretary
of the National Retail Tea and
Coffee Merchants association,
said in Chicago many packers
were trying coffee compounds
containing as much as 25 per
cent rye, malt, Mexican chick
peas, soy beans, barley or other
cereal.
Syrup Tested
Corbett said such adulteration
was legal If correctly described
on each package.
The office of price adminis
tration In Chicago and Boston
was Investigating complaints of
Inferior or adulterated coffeo
being sold without such label
ing. A coffee export In New York
said another exerlmont was
"coffee syrup'" which ho said
might provo to retain some of
the aroma lost In the roasting
and grinding process.
Coffee , Importers, however,
optimistically cited reports that
coffee shipments to this country
probably - would increase soon
with a decline In Atlantic ship
sinkings and a potential In
crease In the number of ships
available.
