WASHINGTON--A highly inter-
esting transaction whereby the Re-
publican National Committeeman
for Oregon sold the Government a
big tract of land for a new Govern
ment aluminium plant has just come
to the attention of the Justice De-
partment.
Officially the name OF Ralph H.
Cake, Republican National Commit
teeman, did not appear in the trans
action.
However, the records show that
Ralph Cake, who owned the tract of
land, decided it to the Portland
Mortgage Company, of which he
is president and chief owner, for the
nominal sum of $40. Later the Port
land Mortgage Company sold the
land to the Government for $50, 900.
One other interesting phase of the
whole business was the fact that the
Interior Department was dead OPP
posed to this location of the new
aluminium plant. The plant is one
of the wartime aluminium factories
built by the Government, but to be
operated by Alcoa for the produc-
ton of emergency aluminium 1t will
get power from Bonneville Dam.
The Interior Department, which
operates Bonneville Dam, proposed
that the plant be located near the
dam. This would save expensive
power transmission lines, also would
put the plant further inland, away
from coastal attack.
The Interior Department put up
vigorous argument on this point.
But the Alcoa people, plus certain
interests in the War Department
argued for the other side. The de-
bate continued some time. But in
the end, Mr.. Cakes Mortgage Com
pany made lush sale.

NAZI SABOTAGE

In fixing blame for the Normandie
fire and other suspicious tragedies,
it might be well to review the
sabotage fire at Kingsland. N. j. in
1917, for which an international
court held Germany responsible.
The Kingsland Plant was making
shells for Russia at the rate of g.

JUNIOR RED CROSS

Last year organized primarily for
the benefit of the members as a
morale builc...s agency, this year
the Junior Red Cross is principally
service organization, said Mrs.
John T. Rice, chairman for the El
Centre chapter of the American Red
Cross.
There is definite program that
the Junior Red Cross has been
asked to carry out, being asked by
the government among other things,
to make certain specified articles
for the armed forces"
These articles include any num-
Der of comfort articles for the Army
and Navy many of them designed
for use in hospitals, ranging from
afghans to utility bags and includ-
ing writing boards, ash trays. lap
boards, reading racks, bound stor-
les, cartoon and joke books, games
boards, etc.
In addition to this service pro-
gram, Junior Red Cross will carr
on the Victory garden project, &C
cident prevention, disaster prepar-
edncSs work, will take up the study
Of nutrition. first aid, home nursing,
will establish first aid detachments
for the schools and continue with
other projects started last year.
Every school in the district under
the jurisdiction of the Ell Centre
chapter reported 100 per cent men,
bership and Mrs. Rice anticipates
that the enrolment in Junior Red
Cross will be 100 per cent this year
also.
With the fine cooperation our
teachers have given us, the Junior
Red Cross enrolment and the car
rying out of its program present
no problem at ALL" said Mrs. Rice
Enrolment for service" is the
Junior Red Cross slogan for this
year and the annual membership
drive is scheduled for Nov. 2-l5,
not running concurrently with the
Red Cross roll call this year.
Since school has just started, or
ganization of the Junior Red Cross

opportunity to get into their regu-
lar routine before beginning their
Red Cross work.
On Sept. Is the Junior Red Cross
celebrated its 25th anniversary, hav-
ing been founded Sept. Is, 1917, upon
proclamation by Woodrow Wilson,
then president of the United States.
The Junior Red Cross pledge is:
We believe in service for others,
for our country, our community. and
our school, in health of mind and

The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-11-20

Recent magazine articles concerning
the transportation of the future seem to
border on the miraculous until we stop to
think of what has been accomplished since
World War No. l. There was no radio as
We know ii now when the armistice was
signed. There were still to be developed
the planes that could bomb a firstclass
battleship to its grave. And for predicting
that the airplane would play that part in
the next war Brig Gen. William Mitchell
was crucified. Most of the great system of
highways that traverse the country has
been created since the armistice.
Against such a background the predic-
tons of automotive engineers and the plan
proposed by special committee at Wash
ington for a system of super-highways do
not seem so much like tales from Baron
Munchausen. OF course, there is a good
deal of imagination back of all these plans,
but most worthwhile things began with
imagination or were forced upon US by
necessity.
The war has made us do many things
We thought were impossible. So don't bet
that some of the seemingly fantastic pre-
dictions concerning transportation cannot
be fulfilled. You may lose your money if
you do.

This is not an important day in
planetary direction, but 1t is well
to be cautious in whatever carries
any risk. II 10 not a fortunate
configuration for initiative and is
not promising to labor which may
retard work in small factories or
on minor transportation lines.
Heart and home: College stu

the most Of their educational op-
portunities as nearness to COM
pulsory war service is recognized.
Girls should specialize in science
and those with ability in mathe-
MATES viii benefit greatly in re-
sponsible positions.
National issues: Financial needs
will be discussed more earnestly as
the government discovers rising
costs Of war and extending appeals
OF relief from subjugated peoples.
Drastic methods will be adopted
for the collection OF immense sums
Of money.
International affairs: Japan may
prove better able to prolong con-
nict than other Axis powers and
will reveal Imitless endurance de-
spite devastating losses Of men
and property. Desperate battles
will reveal increased cruelty in
the treatment Of prisoners who are
permitted TO survive.
Persons whose birthdate II is
