Take Care Of Yourself
(Port Angeles News)

More Americans will die this year, because of civ ian accidents than killed by the GFmans in the first World War.
 More will be injured than were in the biggest army we ever raised, the World War I army includ- ing front line fighters, Service of Supply workers and those who never got further than preliminary training camps in the United States. As many will be permanently incapacitated by injuries as the total of American soldiers wounded during the First World War.
 Individually there is nothing sensational about most accidents. The victim suffers. So do his wife, his children and his other relatives His friends are sorry Perhaps the community helps care for his dependents. It's too bad we say but he should have been careful
 In the aggregate the time has passed when can take this dispassonate approach to accidents. The National Safety Council with the expressed approval and support of President Roosevelt and Donald Nell son. is trying to reduce the accident trend as war measure
 Last year four million workers were injured, three fifhs away from their jobs Fifty thousand of them died. Another 170,000 permanently disabled. The were kept from work for greater or lesser periods.
 This year, with employment up the first five months experience forecasts 4400000 injuries, 00O deaths, 180O0 permanent injuries.
 From the war production standpoint this is mighty serious It means, the National Safety Council con- putes, that we shall lose five hundred million days of labor at time when pressed to find enough workers to care for military needs.
 Half billion man-days is equivalent approximately to two million men working fifty 40-hour weeks.
 Those two million men enough to provide the labor for building Il batteships, 625 destroyers 24000 flying fortresses, 10000 fighter planes, 312500 light tanks.
 In time of we can't evaluate lost labor in terms of man-days, in humanitarian terms. We have to think in terms of armament and muni- tions-the tools with which civilization as we have come to know it, is to be saved from the Huns.
 It is up to every worker, and every workers family and every employer-and then to the public as a whoe-to fight the mounting of accidents, both within the factory and outside.

RUBBER FROM RUSSIA?

Some weeks ago, the Office ot Petroleum Coordinator was study ing the production of rubber from alcohol and decided that the na- tion which had had the most ex- perience with synthetic rubber was Russia.
 So, Secretary Ickes decided to try to get information from the Soviet He did not know then that the Russians had offered this infor- nation to Jesse Jones Rubber Re serve in February and had failed to get the courtesy of reply
 The Office of Petroleum Coord- inator approached the Russian Elm bassy, which cabled Moscow. An immediate reply said Russia still would be glad to place all its in- formation at our disposal.
 Secretary Ickes sent a letter to Donald Nelson, who by then was getting excited about the synthetic rubber mess. But as of this writ ing, the Russian offer still rests on the desk of Arthur Newhall WIPE rubber expert-unanswered

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

SATURDAY, AUGUST g

SATURDAY., AO0OO4 1A Benefic aspects today are bal anced to adverse planetary influ-
 ences. The stars encourage ag- gressiye action and seem to prom ! ise success for generals and ad- mirals.
 HEART AND HOME: Household tasks are most fortunate under this configuration which is promising for the entertainment of friends. While it is not an suspicious date for beginning anything it is lucky for pushing what is well started There is a sign that presages en- joyment through vacations close to home. Bicycle corps and hiking parties are under promising direc- ton of the stars It is date on which to extend Inequalities to old ! friends.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS National and personal finances may be af- fected by an international breach of faith. Exposure of perfidy in negotiations with a foreign power is prognosticated Strategy of the Second World War will cause an- xiety as the national debt rises
 in tidal waves of spending. De- spite gigantic outlays by the fed
 eral Government there will be such revelations of our national resour-
 ces that the business machinery of the United States will function
 with remarkable smoothness.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Generous contributions in manpopwer and
 war organization as well as in money by the Jewish people will
 demonstrate their great value as citizens of the United States. Heroes will be recognized with supreme honors. Victory by the United
 Nations is to remove in the future
 all sense of racial or religious diff ferences among American citizens
 who will live up to the Constitu-
 tion's guarantees of liberty and freedom.
 Persons whose birthdate it $
 have the augury of year of good fortune to which romance con
 tributes. Danger of strife over do-
 mestic spending is foretold for many families.

Senator Burnet Maybank of South Carolina. He conferred with Roose- welt just before he sent his veto m essage to Congress turning thumbs down on the independent agency to make rubber from alco- hol.
 What do the folks in South Car olina think of the gasoline situa- tion, Burnet?' the President asked
 Well, to be frank, Mir. President lot Of them are right sore about it." Maybank replied. My state and Georgia have a pipe line run ming right through their back yard so to speak, to North Carolina And it's hard for some folks to understand why they can't get some of that gasoline = especially when they see the people in Tennessee getting all they want
 The President explained that on the outcome of Bernie Baruch's survey of the rubber-gasolipe situ- ation would depend whether Ten nessee and points west would also face rationing.
 Note: Every indication is that gas rationing will be extended sooner or later to the entire coun- try-tO save rubber.

SH-SH! DON'T SPEAK TO CONGRESSMEN!

It hasn't leaked out yet, but John Lord O'Brian, chief legal mogul of the War Production Board, has is sued confidential memo forbid ding members of the WIPE to talk to Congressmen about legislative or investigational matters.
 . The order seems aimed particu- larly at the Truman Committee, 10 prevent WIPE members, worried over war production inefficiencies, from tipping off the committee.
 It is true that the order pertains only to legislative and investigat- i've matters. But since the busi- ness of a Congressman is to legis- late and investigate, this bars most conversation.
 Under the O'Brian order it will still be possible for WIPE mem- Der to say: Good evening Cong ressman. Can't you do something to make it stop raining" Or a WIPE official could say: "Oh, by the way, Congressman, I see you spilled egg on your shirt"
 But it might be dangerous to say: I'm afraid, Congressman, the excessive rain will be hard on the wheat" because that might involve the question of less wheat and thereby affect the subsidy On wheat, which is a legislative mat ter.
 Also it might be dangerous to say, Do you spill eggs on your shirt every morning, Congressman" because to the fine legaistic mind of MT. OBrian, this might con- cern the depletion of the shirt market, and thereby involve such legislative problems as the price of cotton, wages in textile mills scarcity of eggs, and the price of feed for chickens.

DISTURBING

Soon after he took power the chief of the Vchy Government Marshal Petan pledged his word that the French fleet would not be allowed to fall into German hands His subordinates have made the same commitment numerous occasions since. Hit Ter whose pledge not worth the paper it is writ ten on, to be sure, is committed not to the French fleet
 This ought to be clear and final But when he Naz hand. His refusal to authorize the transfer of the French warships now at Alexandria is a repudi- ation of his governments pledge.
 It may be that Alexandria will not be lost Unless General Rommel is reinforced swiftly and more strongly than in recent days, the danger to the great British naval base is not at all acute. Yet the possibility remains And there warships enough at Alexandria, under the French flag, to represent an important addition to German sea power
 Indeed one can safely say that British command of the Eastern Mediterranean would be doomed if the Germans captured Alexandria and gained pos session of the French warshps there. In con- sequence the British have but one realistic choice to be prepared to destroy the Frnch vessels the moment the fall of Alexandria appears imminent removal to a secure port that of course would be preferable.
 The American Government already has put pres- on Laval to permit the shift of these fighting ships to a safer port. There evidently is nothing more this country do So it is up to the British to take any necessary steps to prevent Axis seizure of the French squadron should Alexandria be en- dangered.

WASHINGTON'S TAU MAHAI

WASHINGTON'S TAJ MAHAL
 If the Nazis bomb Washington you will not, of course, see Chief Justice Stone standing in black robes in front of the Supreme Court Building beckoning the Ma zis to come his way.
 Naturally he hopes Washington will not be bombed But if it is, he tells friends, he hopes the Su- preme Court building will not be spared. In his opinion, it is too gariSh, too gaudy and too much of a mecca for tourists. He liked the quiet peace and intimacy of the old Supreme Court chamber in the Capitol. Incidentally the older justices who sat there agree with him.
