Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
MANY people must have breathed a sigh of
relief over the news that, at last, some
thing definite is underway in connection with
the location of a now municipal cemetery.
Finding a proper location
and making the purchase ar-
A s ? rangoments has been a diffi
cult and tedious project, ana
Ct' '$ Councilman Rollin Cantrall
are to be commended for the
work done by their commit
tee. It appears now the de
velopment can proceed, al
though necessarily it will be
slow because of wartime con-
EPLEY ditions and other circum
stances.
Space situation In the old Linkville cemetery
has become serious in recent years. Rocky
state of the soil and other conditions made
proper landscaping of old cemetery difficult,
and its location, after the spread of the city,
was unfortunate. It has an affectionate place
in many a heart, but the time has come for the
community to do something else for a place
to bury and honor its dead.
This is to acknowledge a letter received re
cently from' a south-end resident, discussing
conditions in the old Linkville burying ground
in a most sympathetic and constructive man
ner. Because we knew the local committee
would soon have an announcement to make, we
have not heretofore mentioned this letter, which
was not intended for publication.
It is our hope that the new cemetery, when
developed, will answer the criticisms sincerely
offered by our south-end writer and by others
who have expressed themselves on the need for
doing something about this problem.
It will take some time to start development
on the new site west of town. A grass strip
adjoining the road will probably be the first
step. But the decision has definitely been made
and work will proceed as rapidly as possible.
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, April 28 The technique of
calling a national coal strike under the
breath is not new.
The men can straggle out here and there
around the country every day
or so until a national walk-out
gradually becomes a reality.
. The government c a n n o t
charge Miner Boss John Lewis
with responsibility under these
conditions, and could not prove
it officially if the charge were
made (they may have picked
up some evidence indicating
verbal orders were issued, but
this will not suffice). Mr.
Lewis thus puts Mr. Roosevelt
In the hole in the first stages of their struggle.
The skirmish last weekend by which the
Lewis Celanese corporation workers were forced
back to their jobs by the president shows, how
ever, how shallow the hole is. Mr. Roosevelt's
order merely said "your government will take
steps" if the celanese workers did not work.
Everyone knows he meant the troops would
move in, take over, and require the resumption
of work.
Every government authority is confident of
Mr. Roosevelt's ability to do the same in the
eoal strike situation. He has a certain popular
ity with the miners. Furthermore, AFL and
CIO no doubt would throw full labor backing
behind FDR in this or any other step. . Their
positions here have been embarrassed by the
Lewis strategy.
Members of the war labor board are known
to have adopted some interpretations of the
executive wage-freezing order allowing correc
tion of injustices, and otherwise moderating It,
Also, Manpowerer McNutt has prepared for iuu
ance a series of changes in tht order freezing
manpower.
These labor moderations would have been
made public before this, had not their issuance
now appeared to be sop to Lewis.- Labor
impatiently awaiting these orders and will exert
pressure to hasten conclusion of tht Lewis
affair.
Highest cards in this game, therefore, still
seem to be in Mr. Roosevelt's hand.
Bond Drive Observations
THE national bond drive is winging over the
top of its quotas so strongly that people
generally may not understand why treasury of-
ficials here are privately somewhat disappointed
with the results thus far. The fact is that the
big banks and commercial investors subscribed
much more than their quotas, but individual
citizens fell short.
Experts in the matter say a large number of
people apparently let their personal political
opinion of this administration dissuade them
from buying to the limit. It is no secret some
people do not like the waste of war funds they
see in weir neighborhoods or many other
defects in war policy.
But the citizen who lets that matter influ
ence him from buying bonds is foolishly getting
two matters mixed up. The war cannot be
won without money.
You are the soldier on that front. Unless the
battle is won you are as much responsible as a
soldier who. does not do his duty. If you do
not like this government, the constitution pro
vides ways and means for you to get rid of
. at me nexi election.
The concentration of bonds in the hands of
tnese large Investors js not a healthy condition.
The restraint on inflation would be less. The
cause of preservation of democracy is not
served. No matter what you think of Mr.
jtooseveit, you nad better buy another bond.

Rubber Scrapping
RUBBER SYNTHESIST JEFTERS intends to
leave the government sometime in July or
august regarcuess of how hi various scraps to
protect his rubber program turn out. If there
had been no scrapping, he would have com
pleted his job.
Now, if the army is successful In getting a
major portion of his machinery, there will be
added reason for his leaving earlier. He wants
to get back to railroading.
Air Corps Praise
ALL private reports of returning observers
from Tunisia and the MacArthur front
sing the praises of the army air corps. Manage
ment and efficiency of the air personnel is
highly satisfactory to those in the know. Sat
isfaction also extends to the latest tvt nf
planes. One highest civilian authority says
ciiLiiusid&iicauy;
"They will win the war for us.M
.
Young Generals
THE fact that General Ben Lear's appointment
as head of the army ground forces was
made temporary (he is nearly 64) has Inspired
military rank and file to hope for the perman.
ent appointment of a young man. (Wounded,
distinguished General McNair was 59.)
Most of the brilliant aggressive military lead
ers of history were young men. Few people
realize that Grant was 39 years old at the outset
of the Civil war, Sherman waa , Sheridan
was 30. These three won the war and, at its
finish, their average age was only 40 years.

100 Billion Dollars . . .
Let's try a little heavy think
ing on the American home. Not
in terms of song, sentiment and
political oratory, but on what
the home means to the average
of us in everyday values, in facts
and figures.
The 1940 Census pegged the
number of homes m the United
States at 37 million. The most
conservative estimate of their
money value is 75 billion dol
lars. Farm buildings, and busi
ness structures add another 23
billion.
There you are a hundred-bll-
lion-dollar market for forest pro
ducts, mainly lumber, from
Washington and Oregon after
the war.
Lumber and plywood of
course go into other kinds of con
struction, also highways, dams,
bridges, airports.
The whole construction Indus
try before the war gave a livina
to six and one-half million per
sons and their families. Only ag
riculture topped it in number of
people employed.
Twenty-six thousand retail
lumber dealers supply consum
ers in the home and farm build
ing field throughout the country
wor Alter tne war . . .
It was the home and farm
building market that kent ine.
ging and sawmilling booming
for a dozen years after World
war 1, except for a few months
in 1921. It increased year by
year up to 1926, when over 900,-
uuu nomes were built. Employ
ment and wages in the forest In
dustries of the northwest --rose
with that building curve. And
fell with it from 1930 to 1935,
wnen nouses and barns began
to rise again across the breadth
of our land.
A job In the woods 'now
will keep right on being a job
when the war ends, unless the
war should drag out to a length
that will ruin all of us and our
national life as we know it
There just can't be any question
bdoui at. .
New products for building,
which war needs have brought
into being? Yes, many. But there
are the giant problems of
change-over to peace-time De
duction for most. The plants are
largely owned by the govern
ment. Distribution systems wUl
have to be established. The men
of the building trades will have
to be educated In application of
the new stuff. The consumer will
have to be sold on it.
No change-over will be needed
In the woods and mills, and no
question of government owner
ship or financial Interest will
have to be settled. Logging and
lawmllllng can go right on.
The Homecoming Home . .
Before you read on, stop and
think just what that heading
says to you at first sight. Docs it
call to mind a letter from a rel
ative or friend who is on the
battle line in some far and
lonesome land? A letter in which
homesickness throbs, evon
though unconfessed?
There it Is It's that simple
and everyday, a commonplace of
the heart of humanity. And here
I am, after all the facts and fig
ures, back on what the home
really means to us. The spot of
eartn, tne four walls and roof.
the familiar things within and
without, the cherished intlma
cies of family life home, sweet,
nome.
Millions of our boys will want
homes of their own, with all
their hearts. They will be help
ed to home ownership by the
government, as the boys were
after 1918, after tho Civil war,
aner tne Kevolutlonary war.
The Homecoming Home of
194x should be the best home
for the average family the earth
has ever seen. It is the retail
lumber dealers, who normally
market our lumber, plywood and
shingles, that are thinking and
planning for a "soldier's home"
after this war which wlU be the
soldier's own. Let's support
inem.

NEW YORK, April 28 (fl1)
William L. Batt, vice chairman

nounced today that nearly 100,
000 airplanes would be built this
year, an Increase of nearly SO,
000 over 1042 and said thnt
"management and labor must be
prepared for idle plants in war
time."
Batt, In a speech before the
annual meetings of the chamber
of commerco of the United
States, said Idle plants provide
flexibility so that "it a sudden j
need arises we will have them i
available."
Batt, departing from a pre
pared address, said:
"There Is a danger that labor
will slow down In the fear of be
ing out of a job. What tomor
row may bring, no man can toll;
what the next movement Is, will
have a vital effect on demand.
We may suddenly hear of a great
need and then we will need those
idle plants."
Batt explained that the plane
production covered all types of
aircraft but that almost all of
them now are engaged In some
sort of war work.

that daylight precision bombing
by American fliers and night
bombing by the British "may

Europe."
While a few months ago tho
American and British "held
somewhat different views as to
the best method for bombing
Foster said, this Is now the
RAF's conception of the night
and day bomber attacks:
"That they are both essential
and complementary; and that, If
carried out on. the necessary
scale, they are capable of pro
ducing decisive results which
may well greatly shorten the war
in Europe with all the conse
quences that would follow, en
abling us both to turn over our
full weight upon Japan."
