High Water Drops In Willamette, Columbia Rivers PORTLAND, April 5 (TP) Tho Lower Willamette nnd Co lumbia rivers foil slowly todny from high water, stnges that threatened flood damage. The Wlllnmotta" In Portland dropped from a high of 17.7 foot, only four Inches from flood lovcf, "to 18.4 feot. Tho weather bureau predicted a continued fnll In the next 36 hours. Wartime Is seeing mora and more women getting mon's wages even though they are not wives. When telephone poles and curbstones make auto drlvors stop and think, It's too Intel whatsoever. In one town I visited the water system was the gut ters. "About two weeks ago I visit ed Alexandria and it reminded me of tho Oregon coast with its bracing winter, when heavy showers pour down from the grey skies and the whistling wind with its chilly and biting touch, hurls Itself upon you, al most tearing off your clothes and taking away your breath. A storm of foamy breakers shot-, ters the whole sea front, splash ing over the rollings into your face und falling down upon the pavement with a great crash. "Alexandria is a cosmopolitan city and is inhabited by Egyp tians, Greeks, Italians, Syrians, Jews, French, Armenians and Englishmen. All these nationali ties stay strictly separated, they worship their own religion, have their own clubs, celebrate their own holidays and keep their own customs. All this, of course, spells trouble. In the states we mix together and lose our Iden tity and becomo Americans. "I have found the British sol dier is really anxious to cooper ate and will do most anything to help tho American soldier along. The stories that used to float around the states about the Brit ish have no foundation and In reality the British fighting man is doing a grand job. You have to be over hero to realize just what they have accomplished nnd the difficulties they've managed to surmount. Of c o u r a e, they've two or threo years start on us and we find that as a general rulo the Yankee will hold his own anywhere. "Since being here I have done a lot of traveling and have visit ed soldiers everywhere. I visited service troops who receive very little credit, but live in loneli ness and danger. They live on the fringe of a region In which only a handful of white men have ever dared to venture and their supplies usually come to them by air and occasionally a rare ship. On one side they have a mountain range behind which lies unexplored country and sav age tribes and only a few miles on the other side Is the ocean. This camp is a vital link In the chain of supply which is so ne cessary to the defeat of the axis."

Brundage, western lum ber administrator, said there was a serious shortage and ordered mill operators Saturday to in crease production from the nor mal 10 per cent of the mills' output to 25 to 30 per cent. "This directive," he said, "is issued at the direct request of the military agencies concerned." Brundage added that the of fice of price administration would adjust ceiling prices to compensate for increased costs. There is no use in kidding ourselves into believing that the people as a whole are try ing hard to win this war. They are not. If we had a real war time tax policy and a willing ness for sacrifice by the public, the problem of keeping down the cost of living would be much easier. Edward C. Welsh, OPA executive.
