Three major proposals have been made for use of tne buildings in the immediate area, and it now appears that there may be demand for cer tain of the same facilities from the public housing authority and others. The reclamation service wants some of the Caucasian apartment buildings and other structures for project uses. The Tulelake Growers want buildings in the old military sector for a permanent labor camp. H has been proposed that a large number of the buildings be saved for use of the veterans who will be establishing 87 new farms in the Tulelake area later this year. All of these seem to us to be legitimate- uses of this property. We want especially to put in a word for the unknown veteran entrymen who will go on homesteads this year. They will be establishing farms at a time when building materials and other supplies are extremely scarce, and the availability of materials from the Jap camp right next door will be a godsend to them. Saving some of the buildings for them seems (o us a most worthy proposal, and we trust it will be given full consideration by whatever government officials get together and make up decisions on the disposal of the Jap camp property. Unfair NEW problems pop up daily In the municipal airport situation. Latest is the question of protection which the navy wants the city to give it against damage to government property at the field in the event of civilian use of the landing facilities there. The navy has made- this . one of the terms under which it will let civilian fliers back on the field pending execution of an interim permit. City officials report they are unable to get a blanket insurance policy which would protect the city's interests if the navy insists on the city assuming this liability. Individual planes can be Insured, but the city officials are worried about transient planes that might become involved in a damaging Bccident. - . It is unfair for the navy to insist that the city be held liable for damage which might occur from operation of planes not based on the local field. .' The city" will have gone far enough if it sees to it that locally based planes carry lia .bility insurance, and enforces CAA regulations 1n the use of the field. It can't be responsible for outside fliers coming in to use the field, or for unavoidable accidents. 11 , i The navy should modify its terms. News Behind The News' By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 1 Auto Workers President Walter Reuther put forward " to his men a complete economic and political program, disclosing ihe latest turn of leftwing . labor. His policy message to his union sounded like Mr. Truman speaking to congress on the state of his union. The inner meanings were generally lost be cause the news accounts naturally centered Upon what was headlined as Reuther's decision to purge his industrial army of communists. This was the first public confirmation of my column a few days earlier, disclosing several CIO unions had decided to turn around on the communist issue (column published April 25.) How far they all will go, Mr. Reuther did not say. He advised the union to be "vigilant:" This suggests merely a watch over the destruct ionists, although secret action may develop stronger initiative. Can't Be Done HIS economic and political program ran along these following curliqucs: (1) The auto workers are against inflation because the higher prices nullify the advant ages of wane increases. (2) The higher price for aulos. following the auto workers wage increases was not justified. (3) The union now demands a 30 hour week with exactly the same pay as now being re ceived for "the 40 hour week. It further de mands long paid vacations and benefits from the company for sickness, accidents, pensions again, I suppose, without a price increase, although he does not mention that in the abstract I saw. Here it is then: No inflation. Another IS per cent wage increase at termination of the existing one year contract. Added costs for benefits. And no price increase! It cannot be done. An economic Houdini could not do it next time any more than Reuther could do it last time. The income of a company is derived from the-prices it receives from its products. If its costs go up, as a general proposition, its prices must go up. If its costs and prices continuously go up from year to year this is inflation. If its costs go up and its prices do not, it is no longer a profitable operation and it goes into bankruptcy. If such processes are carried out on a national scale, the nation then faces the restricted alternatives of inflation or bankruptcy, which means really a single cer tain end in bankruptcy because inflation de stroys all values and inevitably ends in com plete bankruptcy a bankruptcy of wages as well as profits. No Real Change FOR these reasons, the advertised turnaround of leftwing labor caused little or no com ment here. It represented no real change. It was wrapped only with new words and phrases. The Reuther political program for the nation told how he wants a third party, a labor party. He said "We stand for independent political action . . . formation of a broad new progressive party." National CIO management (and AFL which has no political action committee) has just recently appropriated millions of dollars to ' organize in southern states. The announced purpose is to organize unions, but an indis pensible corollary of CIOPAC is to organize politics. This sounds like political inflation. Political action in the south contemplates weak ening of the democratic party which has its stronghold there. Election of labor democrats would be sought. If the movement is success ful, the democratic party would fall to labor. Similar action is underway in the republican party, and this, if successful, must likewise lead to its capture. Thus success contemplates a one party system, the labor party, through nullification of existing parties, or control of both. I do not think Reuther has thought this out well. Labor Lags TO call it political inflation Is in no degree inaccurate, because of similarity in methods and effects, with the bankruptcy of democracy as the only possible end from a complete ful fillment of the movement. The people of this country are changing their minds about many things, ' but in this general change labor leadership seems lagging behind. It is giving, a little. It is yielding to public pressures considerably on the surface, but not enough to establish a sound or popular new doctrine. Politicos high among the democrats and republicans interpret all this as a weakening in the economic and political power of CIOPAC. A great majority of congress quite obviously is of the opinion that such tactics will not defeat them in November. Their votes show it. SIDE GLANCES 1 I 1 - .jr. COM. WM IT MA atMCt.

Their renting problem Is simple. There are no frantic dickerings with real estate agents, no bonus payments to tenants relinquishing apart ments. Uncle Sam will just toss some family out of its home, and the American family will move into a clean, neat, well-furnished domicile. The German will have to start combing the ruins for living quarters. For this reason the Teutonic population views with consider able misgivings the advent of American wives. Th Worm Turns "We will never be masters of our own homes again in our life time," said one hausfrau, en visioning a 10 to 20 year oc cupation. There will be no standing In long lines at the butcher's for the American wife seeking a steak for her lieutenant She wiUail at the army commissary and buy any food available at prices that would seem ridiculously low in the United States. The range of lood is very wide and Includes a considerable supply of that nourishing material called beef and spelled B-E-E-F. Remember? There will be no lack of those little accessories that gladden the feminine heart. Things like nail polish, rouge, lipsticks, cleansing cream and stockings yes, stockings, too lie in plenty on well-stocked post exchange shelves. French perfume is there also and mama can smell nice all day long. The PX also has lots of candy and chewing gum for junior and little "Sis" and cigars for daddy to put out when the colonel and his lady come calling. Mamma also can get 12 packages of cigarettes a week. Plenty of Entertainment Liquor won't be too much of a problem. The lieutenant will get a regular monthly ration, and there are several army clubs where good quality drinks can be had at soda fountain prices. Entertainment will not be lacking in this cheery, padded existence. There is a golf club, the swankiest in Germany, where no native son will clutter up the fairway, and the lieutenant and his lady can let their divots fly. Fine German yachts have been requisitioned for outings. There are good denazified beaches handy and at night there will be regular army sponsored movies, fresh from Hollywood cans. Yep, the war Is getting nicer all the time. In 1840, Cincinnati was known as Porkopolis, having gained the name by having the best-known pork-packing center in the world.
