WARREN'S SHOWING
MAKES ODDS FAVOR HIM
(Oroville Mercury

The surprisingly good showing made
by Attorney General Earl Warren in the
Democratic primary was the outstand-
ing development of the election. 1t shows
that, dest.ite the optimistic statement
made by Governor Olson, the odds favor
a change in state government.
1t is. of course, too soon to say just
what the final count will be, but as this
is written it is clear tnat Warren has
drawn great strength from the vote reg
istered Democratic He has to do that,
of course, to emerge the victor in NOvem-
ber. There is a great shifting vote III
California. and the shift in registration
always goes to the party that wins the
election. The preponderance OF Demo-
cratic registration represents the change
of that shifting vote. The vote polled
by Warren at the Democratic primary
is the first indication that the shifting
vote is shifting again.
Ordinarily, a governor who can show
that he had retired an Indebtedness has
an advantage, but this time, 1t seems,
war issues have more weight, partlcu-
larly in view of the fact that the drop
in state, expenditures was due largely
to the defeat of approximations by Olson.
Ols0n's war record has not been satiSfac-
tory
There is, also, the fact that Warren
makes an exceptional candidate. He IS
not spell-binder nor a glamOr boy, but
he is a strong, dependable man, known
for his common sense He is the best
material for the office since c.. c. Young,
and the rank and file of voters realizes
this. This is the time to have a good
governor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-euP)-
U. S. marines in the Solomons,
well established" on six of the is
lands and using airfields and sea-
plane bases captured from the Jap
anese, have shot down at least III
enemy planes and are believed to
have gained complete control of the

Latest air success came on Satur-
day, Washington time, the navy re-

when seven japanese planes were
shot down during two raids. Earlier,
land based planes from Guadal-

FROM PRISON TO WAR

In collaboration with the state Selectlve
Service head Governor Schricker of In
diana has worked out arrangements by
which many state prisoners can be re-
leased to join the armed forces.
Habtual criminals and perverts will
not be considered Nor is it contemplated
that military service shall be forced upon
anybody But those who would be good
parole risks, and who would like to fight
for their country and are sound physi-
cally, will be given suspended paroles.
The released inmate must request clas-
sification and waive all appeal rights.
He will be called when his number comes
up If he fails to register and ask for I'M
mediate induction he can be recommitted
to prison. If he fails to pass the physical
examination, but has shown good faith,
the parole board can decide what to do.
The idea may appeal to other states,
now that Indiana has done the spade
work on it.

NELSON WILL SHOW EN-
(Riverside Daily Press

Donald Nelson, war production chief,
after short rest, came back to Wash
ington with fire in his eye and vigor in
his utterance. His critics had been kick
ing him around in his absence, and there
was talk of the Army and Navy people
taking over his job. Nelson promptly
told those critics and the world in gen
eral that he was going to get tough"
and lick the material shortages that have
been holding up various branches of the
war effort. There would be no more
alibis, and it would be just too bad for
any troubla-maker who crossed his path.
This is meat and drink to public that
likes and trusts Mr. Nelson, and has had
little criticism of his work except for
what seemed a lack of fighting spirit.
He has shown that he can surmount
great material difficulties. If he can also
surmount opposition and break his way
through when he thinks he is right, all
will be we'll 1t is a time and place for
the assertion of strength and the bold
exercise of power in a tremendously big
Job, which this big man is capable OF
doing.

HEALTH

HEALTH
A number of states have petit
toned the Civilian Conservation
Corps, now bsing liquidated, for
transfer of one or more camps to
use as hospitals for women in
fected with venereal disease. This
idea has received little publicity
except in localities where such
segregation centers have been es-
tablished But SO successful have
the first camps been that other
states want to follow the pattern.
Possible shortage of plywood
has been staring the Army in the
face so hard that campaigns are
now being planned including
movie shorts and posters to tack
on trees = in an effort to persuade
lumbermen to stay on the jobs in
the logging camps and saWmills,
instead of quitting to take jobs in
shipyards.
The problem is particularly
acute in the northwest, which
produces 45 per cent of the ma
tons lumber in big, spectacular
operations.
Patriotic lumbermen have felt
they would be doing their country
more good in the ShipyardS and
the unpatriotic ones feel that they
stand a better chance of dodging
the draft if they work on ships.
Local selective service boards
have added somewhat to this
confusion by refusing to grant
OccupatiOnal deferment to lum-
berjackS. Educating the lum-
bermen and the draft boards is
the job which Army and War
Production Board face now.
Fact they wish to emphasize
is that, without lumber, there
won't be any ships.
WAVES
Navy insists there is no signifi-
canoe to be attached to the fact
that one of the companies being
considered for a contract to make
uniforms for the lady-sailol
WAVES is a leading manufacturer
of bathing suits.

Capital Talk

Office of the Petroleum co-ordi-
nator for War, titularly headed by
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes, has another plan cooking
to change normal refinery prac-
tice in the eastern states. The
government needs to increase the
production of fuel oil while reduc-
ing the production of gasoline and
so, possibly make unnecessary the
rationing of fuel oil in this area
during the coming winter.
Refineries normally operate to
get as high a yield of gasoline as
they possibly can, simply because
the demand for gasoline is greater
and the price is higher.
Average for the eastern states
last year was a production of 38
per cent gasoline and % per cent
fuel oil from the crude run thru
their stills.
What the OFC experts now pro-
pose is to make approximately a
20 per cent change in those fig
ures, SO that refineries would get
from their crude 80 per cent gaso-
line and 81 per cent fuel oil. If all
the refineries in the eastern sea-
board states should make this
change, however, they would face
a loss of some 80 million dollars in
the gross sales value of their pro-
ducts.
What the petroleum industry
would like a either shift in
ceiling pr.ces paid by cOnsum-
ers, reducing the price of gaso-
line to make it less profitable
to manufacture, or an increase
i'm the price of fuel oil to make
II more profitable.
The gross amount paid by the
public to the refineries would be
the same, but they would be pay
ing different amounts for differ
ent products.
If this idea can't be sold to the
Office of Price Administration
watch for an alternative proposal
that the government subsidize the
refineries SO they could still refine
more fuel oil to sell for around 7
cents a gallon and less gasoline to
sell at Is cents a gallon without
taxes and still make the same
amount of money.
MANPOWER
Detroit will probably get the sec
ond of the War Manpower COM
missions war production area joint

handle labor supply problems. First

up in Baltimore Aug. |, as a trial
