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

the counties, there is much dissat
trio that were really going to town

ced to resign. 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.
