Today's Roundup
:'!'.' 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.

It is all interesting conjecture, at any rate,

Will find any great comfort in the nomination

flews Behind the News
f- ' By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, May 26 What purported to
be Mr. Roosevelt's world peace plan7 and
the timetable for developing it, appeared re
cently in a leading weekly
magazine under the title
"What Really Happeiied ' at
Tehran." ;
The writer, Forrest Davis,
was not at Tehran. 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. .

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

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.
