The War Production Board, first turning down a request for new plant to convert wood waste into alcohol now has given approval to the proposed plant for Eugene, Oregon, as "a form of national insurance against any future materials shortages
 The s2247,ooo structure was given WIPE approval even though it may get into production until next spring too late to make any immediate contribution to the war effort. marking complete change in WIPE policy In the past the WIPE has refused to authorize large plant construction projects which are not directly tied up with the war effort at once and oosening up of regulations is seen
 WIPE Chairman Donald Nelson also has announced that the contemplated program of producing two million new electric irons this year will be completed without interference with the war effort and small manufacturers will also be allowed to engage in civilian production in shortage areas.

That's the first question every body asks" Dewey recently told d caller who queried him about his foreign affairs background. The Governor went on to say that he was acquainted with several am- bassadors and that the foreign con- suls of New York recently gave a banquet for him.
 T recently wrote an article on foreign affairs for the Sixth Pillar" he added, "and look at this stack of literature I'm taking home to read on Palestine"
 There can be no doubt about the fact that the Governor is really working at preparing himself for the possible job ahead. However, what he probably didn't appreciate was an incident which occurred at the banquet given him by the New York foreign consuls to which he referred.
 At the luncheon he sat beside Brazilian Consul General Oscar Correia, who was a little surprised when Dewey referred to Brazil as a Spanish-speaklng country Brazil ians take considerable pride in be- longing to the one Portuguese speaking country in Latin America, the only nation below the Carib- bean which does not speak Spanish. When Brazilians hear Americans refer to Brazil as a Spanish-speak- ing country, they don't particularly like it but they take it good naturedly, knowing it is relatively unimportant to the average U. s. citizen.
 So Dr. Correia passed the mat ter off good-naturedly when Dewey made his faux pas. However, he did not feel so good -natured when the New York Governor continued ::
 But being surrounded by Span- ish countries, Brazil eventually will become one of them"
 Brazilians who heard of the in- cident comment that Brazil alone is bigger than all the other coun- tries of South America put to- gether talso bigger than the U. s. Al; and having kept its language pure for 400 years, it doesn't ex- pect to change now.

Other Tragedies Recalled
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Nt Cincinnati Enquirer The recent sinking of American troopshp in Mediterranean waters with the loss of 498 lives recalls
 two other maritime tragedies both of which took place at this season of the year. The first was the sinking of the White Star liner Titanic April l5 1912 with the loss of 513 lives The second was the destruction of the Cunard steamship Lusitania on May T. 1915, with 1193 dead, including more than 100 American citizens Both disasters are graphically pictured in small paper bound almanac" brought to attention by MT c E Mayors
 The sinking of the Lusitania, of course was one of the things which aroused and stirred American senti ment against Germany, and contributed materially to the entry of the United States into the first World War on the side of the Allies. The great ship was torpedoed by one of the Kasers underwater vessels almost week after she had left New York bound for an English port. In spite of the fact that Germany had given warning that the Lusitania, and other British ships were in danger of submarine attack wave of indignation swept the United States as result of the torpedoing of a craft which was pri- mariy, passenger ship.
 The Titanic tragedy resulted from a collision with an iceberg in the rigd waters of the North Atlantic The accident took place in calm sea- with help so
 near observers the craft of one ship the Cali forna able the Titanic probably after the great wound had been opened in her hull queer combination of circumstances however kept the Cali forna from receiving the SOS signal from the Titanic radio although other ships within range did hear the plea and several rushed to her assistance The Cali forna did not know the Titanic was in distress when she was sighted.
 In both these disasters deeds of herosm and valor were reported-deeds which will go down in history It is probable that similar examples of courage were displayed in the Mediterranean sinking but the cloak of censorship still hides the details of the affair even to the name of the ship involved. It is only presumed that a submarine was responsible for the loss
 There was time, earlier in the war when the Allies approached this season with misgivings Not only had other great tragedies taken place then, but Hitler selected the months of spring when better weather came to the Atlantic, to intensity his sub marine campaign. There is but little fear on that score today The German submarine menace has all but disappeared in that theatre of operations The greatest losses of life due to that cause we have every reason to hope, now are in the past

A large umbrella in shades of

the numerous lovely gifts resting
on a table and more of the festive

Shipyard Ahsenteeism

Absences from work from Novem-
Der, 1912, through June, 1943, ran
from 1913 to 10 per cent in the larger
maritime yards having over $500
workers. Current surveys indicate
that at least one-third Of the abb
sences in maritime shipyards have
to do with health and accidents. The
Ehipyards where inexcusable days of
are fewest, are those where plant and
union committees keep close tab on
lost days, and where leadermen are
made responsible for the attendance
of their crews.
