ARMY OFFICERS
MAY RIDE WITH
BRITISH PILOTS

In the role of observers, Ameri-
can Army officers may ride along
with British pilots when the first new
American-made four-motor bombers
raid Germany.
Reporting this, authoritative
sources explained the observers as
signment would be to report to the
Air Corps on the performance of the
long-range craft under actual combat
conditions.
With similar mission, American
naval officers have been stationed
for months on ships of the British
fleet in the Atlantic and Mediterran-
can.
Numbers of Army observers al
ready are in England ready for the
new assignment. Others are believ-
ed to have gone to Egypt, headquar-
tiers for British operations in the
Mediterranean and Balkans.
Because of possible diplomatic and
military complications, both the War
and Navy Departments have been ex-
tremely reticent concerning activities
of American officers in the combat
zones.
More than 80 Boeing and Consoli-
dated bombers, capable of cruising
1000 or 5000 miles with heavy bomb
loads, have been turned over to Brit
ain under an arrangement announced
in November by General George G.
Marshall, War Department Chief of
Staff. Not all have been delivered,
however.
Twenty-six Boeing Bit planes
were exchanged for British-owned en-
gines manufactured in the United
States, and priority rights were given
the Royal Air Force to assure early
deliveries of comparable number of
Consolidated bombers. General Mar
shall said part of the deal was full
reports of their performance in ac-
ton.
Of the Boeings, seven or eight al
ready have reached North Africa to
bolster defenses of the Suez Canal
and possibly to operate in the Bal
kans, according to reports reaching
Congressional quarters.
The first of the Consolidate bomb
ers flew last month across the Allan
tic to England, the British announced
at the time.
Responsible sources said that none
of the big craft, each of which is
manned by crews of seven or more
men, has yet been under fire.
Royal Air Force crews are being
trained in the United States to op-
crate the heavy air cruisers.

ed officers are finished (the show
ing lasts about forty-five minutes)
the film is shown again for any in
terested privates. That way Col.
Markey believes that each man will
be able to gain better and sounder
instruction. Not that the officers
and non-commissioned officers are
not capable-the movies just do it a
little better in some subjects. They
have been prepared by experts in the
particular subject matter presented.

What Is Interstate?
Whether a drilling crew working
on a wildcat well which proves to
be a dry hole is engaged in inter
state commerce is one OF the moot
questions; likewise employees on an
oil lease which produces oil for a
topping plant the product of which
is sold entirely within the state and
therefore does not enter Interstate
commerce. Another question re-
CARDS a drilling crew on a gas we'll
which is producing gas for use
entirely within the state. The pos
sible Interpretation of the govern
ment is that a small part OF the
gas may be used to smelt copper
which goes into interstate commerce
and therefore the entire operation,
from rig building to the delivery OF
the gas, comes within the meaning
OF the wages and hours act.
All oil and gas operators are

LANDON POINTS TO
FEDERAL PLOT TO
GRAB OIL INDUSTRY

TULSA, OKLA. - All Landon
charged tonight that president
Roosevelt was ''maneuvering be-
mind the scheen OF national defense
to seize control OF the oil industry. ,"
Where Is there .the slightest
foundation for his statements OF
last week Of the urgent need of
federal control?" Landon asked in
an address on national defense po-
licies prepared for the Alexander
Hamilton clubs annual dinner.
The Kansas oil man and 1886 re-
publican presidential nominee
said he supported the federal oil
control bill when it was first pro-
posed by the administration eight
years ago.
Later. he added. he supported the
interstate oil compact commission,
an independent body OF oil state
representatives seeking to conserve
the nations oil supplies without
federal supervision.
To-day the states. with the ex-
ception OF Illinois, are doing a pref
ty good job of conservation. he
said. Il wish the national admin
istratiOn was doing as good a job
in national defense.
The attempt to take the oil con-
servation problem out of the hands
0f the states is a warning of what
will be attempted under the smoke
screen of national defense.

with 80 wells in 1889. The year
ended with $50 oil wells produc-

Poisoning dogs is no worse, really,
IMAM poisoning anything else, but an
epidemic Of it can rouse a commun-
lily like air most nothing else. And the
crime Of it always is that the poison
er invariably gets the wrong dogs
the worthless ones seem to he smart
enough or tough enough to evade
the poison. However, there is def
initely a demand for fewer dogs, and
apparently the licensing of the good
ones IS about the only way out of
the dog nuisance. This week half a
dozen letters have been received
about taxing dogs and killing the
homeless ones. One writer saws
there are eight or ten in sight
around his home at any time. Such
conditions lead to a wholesale re-
auction campaign. If owners of the
good dogs want to keep them it.
would seem little enough to ask
them to help control the boards OF
homeless hounds.

Under the New Deal setup a num-
Der of boards and bureaus have been
organized. These are given blanket
authority to make their own rules
and issue their own orders An Or
der issued by one of these federal
boards or bureaus is the law until
it is proved otherwise by a court
decision. From the fact that an ap-
peal from one of these orders costs
approximately $4,000 the bureaus
are each a little dictatorship within
itself. The Walter-Logan bill recent
ly passed by both houses of the
congress provided for a court review
of the findings of these boards or
bureaus in cases where it was de-
sired. President Roosevelt vetoed
the bill, thus securing to the boards
and bureaus their autocratic and
EDITORIAL power. The veto was def
nitely not in line with the theory of
democratic government.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1941-01-23

The democratic form of govern
ment has the dictatorship beaten at
every point except when it comes to
getting things done. When a die
tator needs $4,000 airplanes he does
not have to convince the country
that he needs them and get everyone
talked into a favorable frame of
mind for them. He merely gives the
order, says how many, and when,
and they are delivered without de-
lay, argument or debate.
