C„ Jan. 20--The temper oi congress seems very clear on two points ot legislation. First, the men and women in the armed forces are to be beneficiaries of so me type of legislation which will assure them of the opportunity to vote. Second, the labor mess—str ikes, threatened strikes and wildcat walkouts which have in many cases seriously hampered our war efforts will get immediate attention from congress, either through an amend ment to the Smith—Connally anti strike law or through new legislat ion. The scores of returning law makers who visited the home folks during the holiday recess report that the people are absoluetely fed up with strikes and threatened st rikes which have kept the public lu a continual state of “Jitters" ever ever since Pearl Harbor. The home folks, and the service men also, made it very clear that members of the armed forces sh ould have a chance to vote, and they're mighty sore at congress for .‘ tailing in the matter Spearheaded by congressmen who are Legionalr- es and ably assisted by the potent American Legion lobby, some meas lire is sure to pass granting dis charged service men a bonus and other benefits. This session of congress will see plenty of politics mixed in with every roll call vote. All of the boys have their eyes on the ballot box, which will be taken out of storage next fall. Speeches galore will fill the Congressional Record for the benefit of the home folks and nine- tenths of it will be nothing more ore less than politics, intended to snag the votes of the lawmaker's constituents. Competent observers of labor pol itics are convinced that union lead ers are less concerned with immed iate wage increases than with the long view of postwar pay. There are indications that future efforts will be toward stabilizing conditions after the war and that the main purpose in the negotiation of labor contracts will be to secure guaran tees of minimum monthly, weekly and daily wage rates for a stated period after the war has ended This position has been strengthened by the attitude of the administra tlon In extending such guarantees to farmers in the form of a floor for basic crop* to be maintained enther through the payment of su bsidies or, if subsidies are outlawed by congress, the purchase of surplus products by commodity credit cor poration or some other government agency. National leaders of labor have not been responsible for the recent tlareup of strikes and in most cas es have done their utmost to pre vent them. What they really want is an assurance that there will be no reduction in wages when the millions of workers are released from war plants and seek employ ment in private industry. Refusal of war production board to place an embargo on the imp ortation of Cuban gin and rum is indirectly responsible for its app roval of a project for the product ion of 2,500,000 gallons of alcohol from paper pulp waste by a plant to be located in the Puget sound area If the embargo were to be imposed, large quantities of Cuban blackstrap would be released for the production of industrial alcohol and the sulphite liquor would not be required. However, this use of pulp paper waste has long been advocated and if the experiment demonstrates the economy of the process a new industry may be es- stablished in the Pacific northwest What its status may be after the war demand for industrial alchol has ended is open to speculation Also, if the embargo were impo sed and the Cuban blackstrap made available for the production of alcohol, there would be no futher exruse for forbidding the distilleries to resume the making of whiskey, and a further result would be to make available to American con sumers a much larger allotment of sugar Yet another effort would be to release vast quantities of grain now being used in the production of industrial alcohol but which Is urgently needed for stock feed The Puget sound experiment will be watched with interest by the oper ators of pulp mills In the north west. particularly with respect to the exist of the product. The immigration service of the department of Justice Is already li ning up a skeleton organisation to take over the work which has been done by the war relocation auth ority. now in disrepute because of the Incidents at the Tule lake ren ter In northern California The.

His gas tanks were nearly empty. Suddenly, over the horizon Jap planes were spotted. It was feared the Japs might discover the Lexington and try a suicide attempt. Baker's order to land never came. His landing lights might have given the Lexington’s position away. W ithout hesitation, Lieutenant Baker turned his plane away from the big carrier and headed for the open sea, luring the Japs after him He disappeared into the night, never to be seen again. The Lexington was safe. • " You can buy extra Bonds! Paul Baker had a big decision to make. It took him about tw o seconds. W e, at home, also have a decision to make.
