Faded Old Paper
May be Duplicate
OF Grant Terms

LA GRANDE, Ore, June 25.--
A long unopened book in Ed Rog-
ers' collection revealed what may
be a carbon copy of General U. S.
Grants terms of surrender to Cen
eral Robert E. Lee at Appomatox
courthouse April 8, 1865.
The paper, apparently marked by
duplicating material, was faded
and torn, hidden away for years
in second hand store book
Library references say that Cen
eral Horace Porter, Grants aide
de-camp, penned description of
the surrender. Grant complied by
using a manifold order book. The
wording of the paper found by
Rogers checked with Porters ver-
sion.

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

The Number 3 Bottleneck is
transportation "a not so serious
item as yet But it's there just the
same, and you'll be hearing more
about it. 1t isn't that the railroads
haven't got the facilities to move
a war program load, but that this
load must move through narrow
bottlenecks-principally the Chicago
yards.
Take airplanes and transporta-
ton. Seventy percent of the in
dustry is on the West Coast. All the
big engine plants are in the heart
of the great American industrial
bottle. with the neck lying on
Chicago, and the bottom roughly
bounded by Boston and Baltimore.
Engines have to be made by the
engine plants in the bottle, and
shipped to the far west for
mounting.
So far, SO good. But at tn e
same time this is going on, the
uniform makers are drawing their
wool through the Chicago bottle
neck, too. Packers have to get
meat for the workers drawn into
the bottle. The ammunition makers
are trying to get their cotton
through to the eastern arsenals.
Steel must shuttle back and forth
within the bottle. even move up
from Birmingham. And that brings
up the No. Bottleneck: Raw ma
terials.

THE LABOR PROBLEM
Skilled labor is the Number 2
Bottleneck. There's not enough of
it, and the depression scattered it
away from the centers OF the ma
chine tool industry, back to rural
areas. Much of this can't be SAL
vaged now. Many wartime skills
do not even exist in peace time.
The only answer to the skilled
labor bottleneck at the moment is
more vocational schools, more push
button machines for semi-skilled
workers
But there's that machine tool
battleneck again! Push-button ma
chimes can't be made without ma
chine tools.

WASHINGTON. - All you hear
about the rearmament program is
"bottlenecks What are they and
why are they SO important?
The four great bottlenecks are:
Cd machine tools, CD skilled la
Dor. go transportation, and (D
raw materials.
OF all these, machine tools is the
first-and worst
without machine tools you can't
even make good bean shooter.
Planes, guns, tanks, pontoons (the
new aluminium kind, trucks, am
munition, even the buttons on uni
forms, and the uniforms themselves
absolutely require machine tools.
But the machine tool industry is
punch drunk. Few dies, jigs, and
tools we're needed in the depres-
sion. Plants closed. Workers We're
dismissed.
Furthermore, all the armament
programs, from planes to micro
scopes, need the same machine
tools. One of these is the automatic
screw machine, sort of lathe to
turn, shape and scrape metal. An
other is the deep drawing press, an
elephant of a gadget that stamps
out and shapes metal into sheets
and tubes and squares, and what
not. Everything needed in re-
armament drive runs into one or
the other or both of these precious
gadgets somewhere along the line

swered for her.
''Buddy's asked about you. He
remembers your hair, Lynn" Helen
went on. Mother Austin has been
so kind. Weren't we fools to have
wasted those two years!"
Chuck touched Helen's hand as it
lay on the table. 1--WE learned some
thing anyway"
Lynn promised to see Helen and
Chuck off at the end of the week
when they sailed.
When their sailing day came, how
ever, Lynn did not go. At the last
moment, her courage failed. She
could not face Mr.. and Mrs. Austin
Sr. So she sent them long fare
well wire, promised to cable the
results of the test which was sched-
uled for the following day.
Lynn was horribly nervous when
she walked into the New York STU
do of Superior Pictures.
She tried to learn the scene which
they handed her. Now that the test
had come, she wanted desperately
to succeed.
The director came over to her.
"Try and think of something pleas
ant and far away. Keep your mind
flexible, and try not to see or hear
anything around you"
The camera was turning. Lynn
began haltingly, her hands stiff. She
looked down at them in surprise.

Helen's bracelet was around her
wrist. She wanted to succeed for
Helen. And for herself, too.
Her ringless hands were quieter
now. They did not seem so terribly
awkward to the girl. Ringless. She
could still see the CLINT of green of
Wild's emerald. But that was a long
time ago.
Her eyes were soft and bright.
Even in that binding light she could
see the funny little technician watch
ing, a pot-bellied, homely little man.
He seemed to be following the
strange words she was speaking
with his lips. People were kind
sometimes. Suddenly far, break
ing smile came over Lynn's lips.

seemed to have begun. It was years,
and yet no time at all. She leaned

CHAPTER XXXv

It was week before Lynn heard
anything from the studio. Then one
morning when she was at work for
Wellington, somebody from Mr..
Katzman's Office called. Could Miss
Morrow come to the office? Miss
Morrow could not. She was work
ing. Lynn finally arranged to get
to Katzman's office at o'clock.
Wellington agreed to that. He was
frankly annoyed at the talk of Hol-
lywood It was with bad grace he
allowed Lynn to leave early.
When she walked into Katzman's
office at $50. the secretary told her
to wait. It was a half hour before
she was finally taken into the office
of the big producer. With him were
two other men. They eyed Lynn ap-
praisingly. Whether they were
pleased with the girl they saw, she
could not tell. Kaufman came to the
point promptly.
"Your test was all right" he said
abruptly. Then he began asking her
questions. Finally he said: when
can you leave for the Coast?"
"The Coast?"
Hollywood"

at the swift-moving events to real
ize what he meant.

"But / have one with Mr.. We'll

knows about it."
Kaufman called his secretary:
sect Marty Siedenberg right away.
Get him down here" His face was
grim. well wait"
In that long hour they waited for
Marty to arrive, Kaufman talked
with Lynn.

you" he said. ANY parents?"

PATRIOTIC UNDERSTANDING

can't see much the matter with
the Presidents avoidance of a di-
rect endorsement of the Burke
Wadsworth CONSUMPTION bill In its
present form. He has at least twice
indicated his belief in the principles
of selective service.
The cost of registration is utterly
negligible. You simply use the
existing local machinery for regis
tration for elections. The service is
voluntary and uncompensated. The
only expense is for forms, station
cry, postal and telegraph bills. That
will have to be borne whatever the
age limits, and the additional cost
for registering men up to 81 would
hardly equal that of governmental
mimeographed political handouts
for one day.
How can you register only those
you need? Registration isn't selec-
ton for service. You can't tell what
you need-or rather what you ought
to take-until you see what you've
got.
The Burke-Wadsworth bill is con-
fusing and out of that confusion is
growing distinct, notwithstanding
political approach to this subject.
This column is not in the least in
favor of any coalition departure
from the two-party system.
But this selective service business
is absolutely necessary for defense
which our people do want.
1t would be patriotic states
manship on both sides If con-
ferees for the President and Mr..
Willkie could agree on the prin-
ciples of a much simpler selec-
tive service law which they
could both approve and recon-
mend to congress. That would
stop this beginning political clap
trap.

Guard for training before this uues-
