Malheur Counfy, Oregon at Nyssa, Oregon for transmission Malls, as second class matter, under of March 3. 1879 B LA C K SMOKE A N D RED T A P E Congressional investigation of the alleged burning o f gasoline at Gowen field because the motor fuel wad below army specifications has been demanded by Idaho’s representatives in Washington. The allegation was made by a Eoise school teacher, who said great clouds of black smoke could be seen “ back of Gowen field” occasion ally. investigation has not been conducted far enough for authoritative statements, but the all eged practice is in line with reports of the dest ruction o f lumber and other materials by the army and other government bodies after the materials have served their original purpose. The excuse is given that it takes “ too much red tape” to dispose of the materials through normal channels, so the easiest way out o f the entanglement is to prevent anyone from using them. The army, navy, etc. can’t give the mater ials away, they can’t sell them without going through a lot of red tape so they burn them. We don’t want the gasoline to use on fishing trrips and we don’t want the lumber to build fancy houses with now, but we in Malheur co unty know of a few farmers who could use some boards for new buildings to further the pro duction o f food and although farmers are secur ing all the gasoline they need a high grade of gasoline could he used advantageously in the. war effort on the home front. The government had better give away the materials than destroy them and then pay some one to produce more, but perhaps it i- expecting too much to expect bureaucrats to be anything hut bureaucrats.

Washington, D. C„ Sept. 14.—In- sistance of union labor leaders for retention of full seniority rights of , their members regardless of its eff- 'ect upon the employment o f return- ed veterans already is causing rum blings in congress but no concrete proposals have been advanced to meet a condition which is certain to become more acute with the post-war recession and the increas ing number of men hunting jobs. The American Legion and the Vet erans o f Foreign Wars are taking active part in filing protests ana pressure is being brought to beat for the enactment of legislation to afford some measure of protection f6r the veterans. After having pro mised jobs to men discharged from the armed forces congress is not ready to Ignore the obligation. The particular instances which brought about the protests was the release of some 100 workers at Nor th American Aviation, where cut backs had been ordered in bombet production. There is a seniority cl ause in the contract between the company and Its employers, who are members of a C IO union, and union leaders Insisted upon its observance with the result that those longer in the service o f the company were retained and the veterans were dis charged. There was nothing the company could do about it, since the national labor board had app roved the contract and held the company to strict compliance. In his protest the American Legion commander declared "Plenty of th ese boys have seniority, from places like Bougainville and Salerno, even If they don’t have it at North Am erican. They have been working for $50 a month, not at war plant sal aries.” Cut-backs at war industry plants will increase In numbers and with the end of hostilities In Europe ma ny of them will close down entirely. I f the seniority rule Is generally ob served it will automatically exclude veterans in favor o f older employes and the whole intent o f congress ional enactments for the benefit of men released from the armed forces will be defeated. Just what congress can do about it is not clear. The purpose of N LRB and W LB is to . compel the signing of contracts ' and strict adherence to their terms. It is quite apparent that the alms o f both cannot be attained under conditions where there are more applicants than jobs. When the congress was consider ing the appropriation for O P A three months ago it was stipulated that funds granted to that agency mus. not be paid as salaries to officials using any but accepted commer cial standards In fixing maximum prices on processed fruits and veg etables. Despite this restriction the attempt to tie the 1944 pack of can- îed goods to government grades was undertaken by O P A lawyers. This has been a touchy topic in congress for a long time, and it is highly co ntroversial. One charge is that O P A wishes to abolish private brands and gr ades and have all canned goods put under a red, white and blue label which would, o f course, destroy the value of brands nationaly advert ised. These brands are still being advertised to keep th f names before the public until such time as they are again available for civilian con sumption. On the other hand, the declaration is made that govern ment brands would best insure qu ality. That well known brands wo uld disappear from the market, en tailing heavy loss to packers and destroy the profit motive, is another side of the controversy. The attorneys attempted to pull a fast one by circumventing the po sitive instructions of congress, but Don M.

Oinsburg sought a commission m the army but there was such a row that It was not Iss ued. After his departure boxes of his private papers were discovered outlining planned O P A policies wh ich made congress shudder. While efforts to bring about nat ional prohibition have ceased to ho ld public attention, the growth of the local option movement contln ues and in Texas 254 counties are now in the dry column. As liquor tax revenue In Texas is largely for the benefit o f the old-age pension fund and Is divided equally among of dry counties from participation in the fund. A similar problem ex ists In other states having local op tion laws and has been discussed in congress, but there is nothing the isfaction and It is now proposed th at the receipts shall go only to the counties in which liquor may be sold legally, thus excluding residents national lawmakers can do toward its solution.
