By MALCOLM EPLEY SO FAR as this newspaper has learned, the fatal shooting at Tulelake segregation center Wednesday was an isolated incident, wun. no broad seneral significance con- " - cerning a public policy. It apparently was a situa tion Involving only two men t-a sentry and an evacuee brought into contact by force circumstance and what appened is not indicative of any policy or conditions at Tulelake that descr'e critical public interest In order to right them. , :ln other words, it seems to US that this affair should not EPLEY be built up in the public mind Into something that It is not. The public, of course, has a right to know what happened, but nothing should be done to give the affair a false im portance or significance. 'I The public also has a right to expect that proper steps will be taken in the matter by military and civil authorities. Such a procedure appears to have been set in motion already, y. .... Morse Vole Question ARIOUS interpretations have been placed by fY commentators and journalists upon the nom ination of Wayne Morse as United States senator from Oregon over Rufus Holman. Winchell called it a New Deal victory. Paul Mnllon on this page saw CIO influence in the outcome' of the republican primary vote, i ! Everyone has a right to his own opinion, and What affects the votes in elections is not always . clear. ! ' But this column, which approved the candi dacy of Morse, is not impressed by either of the outside interpretations mentioned above. . Morse would never have been nominated by Oregon republicans if he had not convinced them that he was outside the New Deal camp, nd generally opposed to the New Deal in principle. While New Dealers may have pre ferred him to Holman, it remains to be seen if they will find him a less powerful adversary. It is Quite certain to anyone who knows Oregon republicans that the vote for Morse was not a pro-New Deal vote. This writer knows one vote that wasnX at any rate.-, i Mr. Mallon said it had- been reported the QO, 'finding no contest on the democratic side, went-into the Oregon republican primary to support Morse. f -ClO-democratic registrants, to vote for Morse, yrould have to change their registration to re publican. Election statistics do not indicate any wide shift' of that nature. CIO efforts rmist have been generally confined to an at tempt to influence republican votes. Fair-Minded think Morse was nominated by Oregon except. Mr. Roosevelt and Harry Hopkins, and Hopkins has been too 111 to see anyone since then, the information could hardly have been accepted by such a reputable writer or such a reputable magazine unless it came from the highest authority of all Mr. Roosevelt himself. Indeed, a credible story is in circulation that the magazine noted pencil corrections on the manuscript in the president's own handwriting. At any measure, no one else got the news of Mr. Davis' article, which was, in brief: ; First major military steps in Europe will be instituted "this summer, perhaps in July," or a military situation in Europe "will have been established by July," so that Mr. Roosevelt can thereafter call , "a general assembly of the United Nations to agree, on the 'bread outline of the world society." ' . V:'V. The Roosevelt outline, Mr. Davis" sets forth as the general assembly.-to be an unofficial in ternational legislature with delegates from all United Nations to meet only. occasionally and at different places around the world; V small executive committee to do the .'real job of di recting United Nations post-war action; no inter national police force; maintenance of 'the na tional integrity of all the countries; plebiscites to be held in questionable countries under in ternational auspices with the international or ganization to count the votes; a new system of international mandates, maintenance' of naval and airbases in such mandated territories for mutual United Nations' use without acquisition of the territories. The technique of such a presentation of of ficial viewpoint in on unofficial way allows Mr. Roosevelt .to deny any or all fit the, points and thus rob. It of its official character. . . .... ' ' . .. Political' Forebodings BUT the formula generally follows the peace outline suggested in this column after State Secretary Hull's speech a few weeks ago. The timetable likewise fits . general, expectations, although these have not been printed before to my knowledge. It especially . carries . ominous political forebodings.'. . : '; The. republican convention is to meet in Chicago June 26. Generally, the administration has taken the edge off such s gatherings by breaking news as big as it could. " Last time, the ' surprising appointments of Stimson and Knox to the cabinet were an nounced on the eve of the Philadelphia gather ing, but this was a minor annoyance compared to what the republicans could suffer in the way of news competition If the military situa tion develops as Mr. Davis forecasts "from the highest authorities." . Furthermore, his-prophesied general assembly of the United Nations might well similarly blanket the whole election campaign, especially if it took Mr. Roosevelt to Europe along about August, or even if it drew all the-United Nations here. . In any event, Mr. Roosevelt could disregard the campaign and maintain right up to election day, as he has already maintained, that the "fourth term considerations are picayune." i Also; he could present His long delayed world solution in the middle of the campaign and thus avoid the embarrassment of defending the past domestic defects of his administration, its known failure and troubles.

He has the reputation of a ghost-writer in reverse, what might be called a front-writer. In this instance, he quoted the most intimate exchanges of conver sation between Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin and said his source was "the highest AN appeal for national unity behind the pro posal tould be used to stifle opposition if the republicans chose to -resist the generalized features of the program." Certainly no Charles . Michelson would be needed in such a case or even a Hannegan. Indeed, Mr. Davis makes no secret of political considerations involved, for he says: "The president moreover had certain per sonal rea-ns for keeping the session explora tory (ar .' conclusive at Tehran)- ... He (Mr. Ro :i) is alone of the three facing a general c.iion within the year . . . and was unable to bespeak his government's actions for more than a year.ahead." (This, however, would seem to imply no peace committment could be made by Mr. R. until. after election.).: - These matters have been talked conversation ally as vague prospects for the campaign for sometime, but they, have never before been put under authoritative auspices. Such' a time table ; would involve grave dangers inmy opinion, both .to- peace Itself and Mr. . Jlodseelt's' fourth term cause. . Invites Opposition ! MALLON authorities." ;Inasmuch as no one from here was present IN THE' first place,, to offer -a privately nego tiated peace plan in the midst of a campaign would invite opposition to it. Furthermore if negotiations were conducted in, the: midst of campaigning, Messrs. Stalin arid.Churchili'would easily recognize the power such, a position' would give them over the president,. whose, fate would be largely in their ..hands, and ..they might more readily press vhlm,. for concessions. O? would they hesitate to negotiate a peace with a president whose position was. at all insecure? On the other.-hahd if Mr. Roosevel't concludes the peace bef ore-election' day,, will' not'the main justification for his- re-election : ha v e been eliminated and his'-work?' done?. - ' In such considerations is the campaign get ting down tO its most ' essential plpmpnlcan for the-first-time. -,. . " ' . . -. : Many Uses of Wood Wastes Explored in Laboratories By ALBERT HERMANN In Charge Western Pine Laboratory (Editor's Note: Mr. Hermann yesterday discussed lumber ex traction processes studied at the Portland institution he heads). There are some further possibilities which are to be explored, Including the treatment of the lumber in the extractor with such materials as fire rotardents and preservatives so that needs of special markets might be served more cheaply than has been possible in the past by pressure treating methods. Assuming that the commercial extraction of lumber proves feasible, it is pro posed to study large scale treatments next year, to be followed later by studies of the possibility of extracting waste materials purely for their extractive content. The materials to be extract ed wpuld include mill waste, tops, branches and needles and stumps. A preliminary- study is now being made of stumps and the yields of extractive materials are surprisingly high. Should all of these possi bilities, materialize into commercial processes they would have a tremendous impact on the utilization of the western pines. We find that all three of these, Idaho white pine, ponderosa pine and sugar pine, yield quite readily to extraction methods. We also find a big difference in the products extracted from the different species. ' inosc from Idaho white pine and sugar pine a j IV have. not yet been studied adequately, so we know little about teeir-chemical composition except that in the cose of sugar pine there is available a very largo quantity of sugar, called beta piniie. The value of this sugar is, to date, unknown. It is not a table sugar, even though it is slightly sweet, but it is what the chemist calls a cyclose sugar and as such can possibly be nitrated to form a very powerful explosive, perhaps even more powerful than the present military powders. Among other studies in the association laboratory some have to do with the more efficient use of lumber. For example, we are able to produce house sheathing materials In the lorm of wide boards, thinner than present standards which may actually cost less m place than present 2532" shlplnpped boards and yield a stiffer, stronger structure - Many different designs have been tested in the association laboratory and a cheap and easily made type has been developed. It is now being -tested for usefulness as a subfloorlng material. If It serves as well here as it does for house sheathing, we shall perhaps be able to hold or recover a large portion of a market that has largely gone to so-called substitute materials in parts of the country.
