UNIONS CHARGE

UNIONS CHARGE
Union business agent Ed Rain
bow replied the company was at
tempting to break down the ex-
isting wage rate by refusing en-
ployment to all but those in the
category of helpers"
Five qualified women welders and
burners, he said, we're refused quail
flying examinations and jobs at
the shipyard.
Rainbow said state laws, forbid
ding women to carry loads in excess
of 25 pounds, make it impossible for
women to function as shipyard
helpers, where they might have to
carry Welding equipment weighing
as much as rs pounds.
The VINO statement issued last
week specifically listed women
welders and burners as qualified
for shipyard jobs and did not men
ton helpers, Rainbow said.

From where | sit

And speakin' of taxes Il read
the other day that during the nine
years since beer came back, beer
taxes have brought in more than
two and a half billion dollars to
the government.
Then it went on TO say that the
beer industry provides more than
a million dollars a day in taxes.
Some Of that's federal, some's state,
and some's local. But any way you
describe it, it's lot of money.
Right here in California, for in
stance, the taxes from beer last
year were enough to pay for forty
five 4-engine bombers, one hundred
and sixty fighter airplanes or 402
antI-aircraft guns.
(And it wasn't so long ago a lot
of that money was going into pock-
cts Of bootleggers and gangsters.)

Sending Ballots
Overseas Out

WASHINGTON. Sept. Is CUP)
Secretary of the Navy Frank
Knox said today that sending bal
lots to troops overseas was utterly
impracticable" for two reasons.
The first factor is that of secur-
ity, Knox said. To send ballots
overseas would disclose to a large
number of people what units were
abroad and would ito a shrewd
enemy reveal the exact makeup of
each force"
The second factor. Knox said, is
that of transportation. To send
the ballots by ship would be too
slow and there would not be room
aboard transport planes for the
thousands of ballots necessary, he
said. In many cases, he added,
regular mail had to be left off
planes because of lack of space.

Feb. % while President Roosevelt
was delivering a fireside chat. An
other axis submersible fired nine
shells near an army reservation at
Seaside, Ore, June 81.
FAMILIAR TO JAPS
The bomb last week was found
in a wooded area in which forest
fires might cause damage. Japa-
nese exporters who have bought
logs in the area have had ample
opportunity to map it.
The Army announced it was in
vestigating the discovery of circum-
stances surrounding the discovery
on Sept. 9 of fragments of what
appears to have been an incendiary
bomb"
A U. s. Forestry Service patrol
sighted small fire three miles
south of Mount Emily. which is
nine miles northeast of Brookings
and discovered the bomb. The patrol
extinguished the fire and found a
small crater about three feet in
diameter and a foot in depth. The
erater contained more than 40
pounds of metal fragments and
some small pellets.
The Army said small, unidenti-
fled seaplane" had been observed
flying inland from the sea about
6 am. Another unidentified plane,
flying westward, was heard about
an hour and a half later but it
could not be seen because of poor
visibility.
PLANE SIGHTED
Howard Gardner, forestry observ-
er on Mount Emily. reported see
ing an unidentified seaplane come
from the west, circle and return
toward the sea" at 6:24 am. the
Army said
He described the plane as small,
single -motored biplane with sin
gle float and small floats on the
wingtips," the communique said.
The plane appeared to be small
and of slow speed. 1t had no lights,
no distinguishable color and no in
sigma was visible
1T is possible that a plane of this
type might have been carried on a
submarine"
The communique reported that
the U. S. plane bombed the sub
marine offshore at about II am
The fire was observed at 1920 pm
The Army said the fragments
bore japanese ideographs which
may have been part of a code indi-
eating the arsenal where the bomb
was manufactured.

Knox refused to elaborate on this
statement but it was recalled that
Army and Navy planes in the Aleu-

frequently and have sunk or dam
