Today's Roundup
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
THIS oountry can become so bound up In regu
lation! that it is paralyzed, and sometimes
wi think the paralyzing proc
l eM nM reachea "n advanced
. itage. There are thousands of
people aomg nouiing oui writ
ing more regulations, and no
doubt most of them have soma
one overhead who is writing
regulations on how to write
regulations.
U'BV'eI We need not go on much
JV's-r i farther on this line, for every
kM body knows what we are talk-
EPLEY lng about. One would suppose,
with a war demanding the utmost in produc
tive activity from everyone, that there would
ba a movement to remove the obstacles to that
kind of endeavor.' Instead, the whole tendency
of government is to place more of them in tha
path.
What inspired this growl this morning was
a glance over a statement which 'tells what a
minor, under 18 yean of age, has to do to go
to work.
Now there are hundreds of thousands of boys
and girls in the early and middle 'teens who
can kelp out tremendously in a period of man
power and womanpower shortage. Because
there have been abuses of child labor, laws and
regulations on this type of labor have been
built up to such an extent that getting this ad
ditional help into cction now, when it is bad
ly needed, is an involved and difficult pro
cedure. If we used good sense, we would sim
plify tt for the duration.
How To Go to Work
THE most serious difficulty is the birth cer
tificate requirement. Because it will serve
two purposes demonstrating the problem of
involved regulations and informing the pub
lie what a minor must do to work we will out
line here what appears in a bulletin from the
employment office and the high school voca
tional training department. It is entitled "In
formation Regarding Procurement of Work
Permit and Birth Certificates."
If one 'has a birth certificate and has been
hired for a job, he or she must go to the U. S.
employment office and there obtain a 10-day
work permit. At the end of 10 days, a per
manent permit will be issued, good only for
the firm by which the applicant is now em
ployed. That sounds fairly simple, although it may
not be as simple as it sounds. But that method
is only for those fortunate folks who have birth
eerttrieetec
If one doesn't have a birth certificate, he
must do this: first, obtain written evidence from
the state or county in which he was born show
ing that he was born and when. This must then
ba taken to the county clerk's office at the
ourtbouse. The clerk will give blanks which
must be filled out and taken to the district at
torney'i office. The district attorney will ac
cept service. The form then must be taken
back to the circuit court clerk and a fee of $1
paid. After five days,' the evidence of birth
must be presented to the circuit judge, and he
will, issue a birth certificate. For an additional
lee of 50 cents, the county clerk will provide
a certified copy of the certificate.
That's, all that has to be done to get a birth
certificate, and that is the simplified procedure
provided in new Oregon law. What it was like
before can only be imagined. (Let us pray that
the birth record doesn't list the applicant as
"Baby Smith" or "Baby Jones.". That will start
off a new time-consuming procedure.)
All Minors Must Have 'Em
AFTER obtaining birth certificate, our young
friend who wants to go to work will have
to go about the matter of getting a work permit
through the employment service office.
Every boy and girl between 14 and 18 who
want to work must have the permit. But boys
nd girls under 18 years of age can only work
In a few occupations. Boys and girls between
16 and 18 are prohibited from work in some
cases, regulated by special laws (Reference or
der No. 9, minor's state wage and hour com
mission.) An occupational list may be obtained
at the U. S. employment service or the voca
tional department at KUHS.
The information bulletin we have been quot
ing concludes with this:
"Do not go to the U. S. employment office
without a birth certificate, a delayed birth cer
tificate, baptismal certificate, insurance policy
issued more than a year ago, or an authentic
Bible record. The local labor shortage may be
helped by following the above instructions."
That is no doubt true, if one can follow them.
Preparation of this bulletin for local distri
bution was a proper thing to do, for it should
help smooth the way toward employment of
minors in the types of work they can do with
out harm to themselves and for the good of
productive endeavor. The procedure is involved,
but one has to know what It Is in order to
fight through it to the point where he can turn
in a job.
This sort of thing is giving our youngsters,
who want to go to work, an early taste of offi
cial regulation, red tape and delay, If things
keep on their present course, the adults of to
morrow will go to bed and get up by govern
ment rule and only after filling out the re
quired forms.

News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
Washington, May 7 The great peace
which filled the public statements of
warring executive officials
caused none of those involved
to file off their finger nails
They are all still ready for
scratching.
The peace treaty effected
between Rubber-Maker Jcffers
and War-Maker Patterson is
attributed significantly
1 enough to Ferdinand Ebcr-
stadt, the New Yorker who
left the war production board
In the Nelson row and then
was unable to get his promised position in the
army.
Senators have direct information that Eber
stadt brought Jeffers and Patterson together at
, luncneon and, under his bench auspices, both
threw their arms around each other and agreed
10 raxe a irip around the country to see if thei
conflicting claims for machinery could not be
.worKea out amicably.
The strange identity of the peacemaker,' a
"l wno naa peen urea by Mr. Nelson, has en
.uiuaKi h wrae variety of speculation. The
most natural deducation was that Mr. Nelson'
demies were again on the loose, and
this speculation was in nowise diminished when
Nelson Immediately thereafter appointed Arthur
Whiteside as director of a new office of civilian
requirements. ,
Mr. Nelson indignantly den foil Via TIT Q C? rolm

Pay-os-You-Go Battle
THE Robertson-Forand Pay-as-you-go-tax plan
I passed the house as a compromise, and on
the surface it was one. Mr. Robertson is a Vir
ginia democrat, more democrat than New Deal-
... iur. rorana is a Rhode Island New Dealer
"m".mj .ouur,
Their bill, which the house passed, is about
seven-tenths of the Ruml plan. It would lift
$7,000,000,000 of the $10,000,000,000 burden
from 1942 personal income taxes and put a
pay-as-you-go system in operation after July 1
But essentially, in basic, theory, It is the CIO
way of doing the Job. It makes Mr. Robertson
angry to say so (but not Mr. Forand).
The original theory of a 19 per cent withhold
ing tax (now made 20 per cent) was proposed
by democratic Senator Bennett Clark, of Mis
souri, and the CIO took it up along with a de
mand for discrimination in relieving the burden
of various incomes. All are not treated alike.
The CIO no doubt will hail the result as a vic
tory.
The republicans put It through when they
were unable to get their Ruml plan. In doing
so, they merely corrected a strategic error com
mitted two months ago. - - -
They could have done the same thing, but
chose to send the proposal back to the house
ways and means committee, hoping the Ruml
plan would finally emerge. Their idea now is
that the senate will have a chance to iron the
matter out and it will.
The Robertson-Forand plan, however, is In
disputably the most complicated tax suggestion
ever enacted by a congress. Most taxpayers
will require a lawyer to find out to what they
are entitled.
SIDE GLANCES
Daylight Bombing Losses
f ROWING losses suffered by our Flying
Fortresses in daylight bombings on Ger
many are proof enough that the nazls have
developed new methods of defending themselves
against our best weapon.
The developments are in tactics rather than
in counter weapons. They martial groups of six
or seven attackers against outside planes in our
formation and also look sharply for stragglers.
Some of the growth of losses on the last few
raids can be attributed to the facts that our for
mations were not closely maintained. .
It is too much to assume off-hand, therefore,
that these losses will cause us to drop daylight
raiding, as the British did or that even the
loss of 30 RAF bomber In the Dortmund raid
means diminution of our main current attack
on Germany.
The British rate of losses In night raids has
lately run about one in 20, and if 600 planes
were involved in the Dortmund attack, the loss
of 30 planes would not be extraordinarily significant.
Tunisian Betting v
THE Bon peninsula to which the nazls might
choose to retire from Tunis, Is somewhat
like Bataan, mountainous, with good beaches,
and- no ports. But there is one exception no
Corrcgldor fortresses to back it up. Hitler's
do-or-die hordes might choose to die there.
But certainly the end should come sooner
than at Bataan, and betting is heavy here that
the Tunisian situation will be cleared up with
in a month at most.
