Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
DEAD quiet reigns at the Tulelake WRA
center where ome 18,000 persons of Jap
anese descent are interned.
Caucasian observers down there say that
the older people, who are intensely loyal to
Japan, appear to be stunned f"r?OT
by the news oi wippons sur
render. These people got the news
as quickly as any of us by
radio, and through more than
3000 newspapers which circu
late in the camp. From the
moment the Word came
through of Hirohito's declara
tion of surrender, there has
been a noticeable lack of
activity or sound within the
confines of the huge installa
tion. .,
People there are probably having a hard
time making themselves believe the bitter truth.
No Immediate Closure
BUT the truth it Is, and one is led to specu
lation as to what will happen to this big
lay-out set up in the relocation emergency early
in the war and eventually used as the segrega
tion center for Japanese loyal to Japan and dis
loyal to the U. S.
Ray Best, the director of the camp, says there
is no chance it will be closed before June 30,
1946. The budget for the Tulelake center runs
for the entire fiscal year ending at that time,
whereas budgets for other WRA centers expire
December 31. Mr. Best is certain the installa
tion will function to the end of the fiscal year,
either under WRA direction or under the de
partment of justice.
There are approximately 18,000 persons in
terned there. Moving them out even after
removal procedure has been adopted will take
many weeks if not months.
Some of these people are eligible to leave
now, if they wish to do so. : There has been
some increase in the outgoing movement among
this class, but it is still small. One day this
week, 84 applied for relocation, which to that
time represented a new high.
Deportation Faces 8000
THERE are possibly 8000 persons in the Tule
center who seem almost certain at this
time to go eventually to Japan. . .
" These are the , people who have declared
themselves definitely for the emperor: They are
aliens who have renounced any interest in the
welfare of the United States. Some may be
sorry now, but they are classified in a group
that Mm pm-tain to Ka sent hark tn the
country they love.
Eventually, as WRA officials see it now,
about half of the people at Tule will be re
located in this country, and about half will
go, on the westbound boats..

nf thA WT7A nontor nmnarHM ne thov
are now set up is uncertain, but their state of
delapidation at this time certainly points to
probable dismantling.
The buildings were put up in a hurry, and
they have steadily, deteriorated. Water and
sewer equipment was none too good when it
was Installed, and it has gotten so bad that
there is now a terrific maintenance problem
on it.
So far as the WRA and colony section of the
camp is concerned, there won't be a lot left
for anything but salvage by June 30, 1946.
Camp Tulelake, the adjoining army installa
tion, has better buildings and other equipment,
and' these might serve for a number of years.
There has been only meagre community
thinking 'about making some use of the "Jap
camp" after its present function ends. At
Tulelake and Alturas, we have heard some
discussion of the possibility of turning it into an
agricultural experiment station, a branch of
the University of California. We believe some
investigation has been started.
Unless some such plan is worked out for use
of the facilities, the buildings will probably
be torn down and sold as salvage and in a
few years the Jap camp, once the scene of
stirring incidents that drew nationwide atten
tion, will be nothing but the farm land it was
before the war.
News Behind The News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 A tendency to
hold back demobilization to cushion the
shock of reconversion has long been visible
through Mr. Truman's actions or lack of them.
Thus Ills first peacetime announcement con
tinued tho draft for the youngest class, mid
contemplated a discharge plan spread over 12
to 18 months of only two thlrcii of the war
army, and an even more cautious relaxation
of navy strength. Our obligations in occupa
tions and peace-keoping we mentioned as the
reason. The unsettled state of the world is
another, although not mentioned. But these
necessities fit snugly the developing balanced
reconversion policy, which has not been de
fined or announced to the public in any of
ficial way. This is the heart of the Truman
spending as shown in action necessary spend
ing in defense to prevent too many men from
being thrown upon the dwindling employment
market. '
Same Theory
THE same theory is being pursued to the
more limited extent possible, In cancella
tion of contracts. First announcement at the
moment of peace concerned only 56,000,000,
000, of navy cutting mainly in ordnance. I
suspect Mr. Truman resolved all doubts In favor
of high budgets for the army during the latter
days of the war for the same purpose to keep
the economic mills churning. In the future
economies will be developed possibly with less
swiftness than you might expect.
How long this tendency can be maintained
in the face of contrary pressures of troops to
get free, and for setting the treasury in order
(tax reduction?), remains to be seen. Certainly
the government appears determined to go as
slow as it can in dismantling Uie war budget.
Specific Policies
SO also with specific reconversion policies.
For many months, the popular and un
disputed public thought has run to tho con
clusion that the end must bring an economic
shock, with widespread unemployment. Now
the economists are beginning to inquire deeper
into the matter, seeking to ascertain what par
ticular types of workers and how many in
which industries are being affected. They
have found there Is another balancing side of
the picture which has not been explored or
fully observed. Ordnance workers, for Instance,
are "sure to go at once, and production will not
be resumed. But all- the other non-government
industries will be different to some extent. In
the two largest industries, motors and steel,
the highest possible peacetime, production will
be developed as swiftly as possible. In those
lines much unemployment will be temporary,
and of a vacation type (if war bonds have been
saved.) Certainly skilled workers in those lines
will have a great field of postwar employ
ment. As a sub-line, motor mechanics will be
in demand in every garage in the country for an
indefinite period, with all cars run down.
Shipbuilding Drop
SHIPBUILDING production, for another in
stance, will drop near xero, but the Kaiser
plants on the Pacific coast, two months ago, had
employment of less than 40 per cent of its war
peak. The majority of workers knew what was
coming and went back home for better jobs.
Also Kaiser long since started to go into other
fields, including motors, and his total peacetime
employment may yet run. as high as his war
time peak.
The large number of women workers who
got into industry for the first time during the
war. will find husbands or supporting rela
tives returning from the war, and may desire
to return to their homes.
Core Of Trouble
THE core of the trouble, I think, will be
found among the migrated unskilled or
least skilled workers, particularly In ordnance
centers. They came in droves to war manu
facturing zones from consumer service jobs,
small stores, restaurants, hotels, shops, farms
and such work for jobs which offered more
wage than they had ever dreamed of.
Certainly there exists a tremendous demand
for this type of worker, back in his former
endeavors, back in the shops and on the farms.
Will they want to go, is the question which
looms more important than the one being popu
larly asked, namely: Will they be able to find
jobs?
Unless they do go back, and competitive
labor standards are reestablished in the coun
try, it will be impossible for the nation to
regain its economic equilibrium. Some say a
depression is the only thing which will cause
them to go back. I do not believe this, but I
believe the administration may find this one
of its most difficult problems. Presumably it is
waiting to see.
The immediate unfreezing of employment
was undertaken also to see what will happen,
where these workers will go,' what then may
be needed in the way of federal action.
Specific Problems
CERTAINLY the developing problems are
particular rather than general, variously
affecting different types' of workers and in
dustries, and this points again to the theme I
have been stressing specific remedies are need
ed rather than an overall spending program or
similar tactics of the Roosevelt regime, which
might create a disastrous economic effect, by
encouraging the unemployed to avoid the jobs
where peace so vitally needs them.
STATE BUTTER RATES
CORVALLIS, Aug. 17 (JP)
Oregon butter averages 16,535
international units of vitamin A
to a pound compared to the na
tional average of only 15,000
units, Oregon state college ex
periment station reported today.
Tests were made on creamery
butter in different states by the
department of agriculture. The
mount of vitamin A in butter,
aid the department, depends di
rectly on the amount of green
pasture and good quality rough
age eaten by the cow.
Farmers were urged to cure
hay by methods that retain Its
green color. In changing color,
hay loses its carotine, the sub
stance from which vitamin A Is
derived.
If Emperor Hirohlto of Japan
dies or abdicates, he will be suc
ceeded on the throne, under Im
perial house law, by his 11-year-old
son, Prince Akhilo

make one's flesh creep and cer
tainly had considerable success.
Jio Charges -
Well. now. these charges of
barbarism, backed by stories of
wholesale slaughter of civilians,
were intended for more than
mera vitimeration. Their pur
pose was to break down the de-
termlnaiion oi ine auiea peoples
to carry the war through to ut
ter destruction of Japan unless
there was unconditional surren
der. The Tokyo spokesman were
trying to play on our emotions.
The best answer I know" to all
this, is a little story, in which the
central figure is Col. Paul Tib-
bets, of Miami, Fla., who piloted
the B-29 carrying the atomic
bomb to Hiroshima. It well Illus
trates the code of the American
airman of the allied airman,
for that matter.
I ran into Tibbels back in Oc
tober, 1942, in England when he
was Just getting under way on
the distinguished career that has
weighted down his chest with
decorations.
Bombing Reaction
I had a long talk with the
young officer at his headquart
ers, and deliberately steered the
conversation around to his reac
tions to the job of bombing. He
told me that while he was wait
ing for his first raid he was sick
over the thoughts of the civilians
who might suffer from the
bombs droDDCd by his machine
"That feeling probably dates
back to my training days," he
remarked. "We had it hammered
into us constantly that In m-nc
tics we must watch out for the
folks beneath us. This reaction
persisted through my first three
raids. Finally I got used to the
idea, but I am cautious. When
I look at a 2000-oound bomb in
the bay of my ship I know a lot
of people may get nurt. My anx
iety is for the women and kids."
The colonel paused and his
eyes sought the horizon. Then,
hesitatlvely:
"You see I have a three-year-old
boy of my own at home. I
