Survey Shows Fl Per Cent
OF Portland's New Work
ers Plan To Remain
By ANNE REED BURNS

PORTLAND, Ore, March IL
lY-There seems little chance that
war-boom cities will be able to say
goodbye to their new populations
when peace comes.
Twenty one per cent OF Port
lands migrant workers intend to
stay here, even if it means the
park bench. If the survey that
turned UP that conclusion applies
to other war industry cities, the
Iowa grocery clerk who went to
a welder's job in another state
likes things where he is; so does
the Oklahoma share-cropping fam
lily that piled into flivver la
beled San Diego or Bust"
Their intentions mean one of two
things:
If postwar jobs are plentiful, the
Portland weather vane indicates
that war-boom cities can count on
a labor pool about three-fourths as
large as it is now.
If postwar JOBS are lacking,
those same cities will have to plan
on ladling soup to over fifth
of their presen, migrant workers.
The first extensive survey of
these transplanted workers post
war plans. made here with the
approval OF the U. S. Maritime
Commission, shows that only "a
per cent of the men and women
questioned intend to backtrack.
The survey required 300 trained
questioners and personal inter-
views with nearly 100000 workers
in Henry J. Kaiser's three war
born shipyards in Portland and
Vancouver, Wash. About so per-
cent of the yards working forces
are migrants - ex-housewives.

U. S. INCOME TAX

Wilmingtonians started Saturday
the last minute rush to file 1943
income tax returns.
Approximately As tax payers an
hour were being assisted in making
returns by four deputies and three
internal revenue agents at the fed
eral office on the second floor OF
the postoffice building.
The money order windows in the
postoffice were also receiving the
usual income tax paying time
rush Saturday. The lines of persons
from the upstairs revenue office
and downstairs money order win
dows often converged.
Many small income tax payers
were said by Postmaster Wilbur
R. Dosher to be using postal money
orders to pay 1913 taxes
During this week, the same
money order window service as
provided during the Christmas
season will be furnished, he said.
The windows will not be closed
until the lobby is cleared of
persons. The regular hours are
8 am. to 5 pm.
The Internal revenue office will
observe the regular hours Of $3.50
am. to 5:15 pm. on Monday and
Tuesday. However. on Wednesday.
March IS, it will remain open
until long into the night" said

Her attendants will be M S
June Taylor and Miss Jane Groom,

The S. S. Fair Wind is named
for an American clipper ship.
The original Fair Wind, built by
E. and H. O. Briggs at South
Boston, Mass, was launched Oc-
tober IL, 1855. She was called a
sister ship of the Mameluke, both
being fairly good sailers and large
carriers, their actual capacity be-
ing about 1,700 weight or 2,4OO
measurement tons. TIL e figure
head of the Fair Wind was an
image of Aurora.
The Fair Wind made several
good voyages, but her best was
when she sailed on January IL,
1861 for Bakers Island from San
Francisco and anchored off Homo
lulu on the 21st. in a passage of
eight days and 10 hours, which
has never been beaten to this
date. Her daily runs were: 2O9
miles G9 hours rum 243, 261, 213,
224, 254, 215, 26o, 225 (23 hours
rum. Total distance made, was
2,104 miles; the shortest distance
ever made on this run by vessel
and only some 20 miles greater
than the shortest possible direct

GROCER WOUNDS
ASSAILANT HERE

An unidentified Negro man slug
ged J. T. Brown, grocer, as he
left his store at 3O3 North 10th
street. around 1920 o'clock Fri
day night, but did not leave the
scene without feeling the sting of
a pistol bullet, according to the
report Brown gave police.
Brown said he had just stepped
from the building, carrying a bag
of money and his pistol, when the
Negro suddenly emerged and
struck him on the head with a
hard instrument, then fled in the
direction of Grace street.
Brown shot the man twice, and
the Negro dropped to the side
walk. He managed to rise, how
ever, and ran around tie corner
of 10th and Grace strets.
Brown, who was not hurt, but
who had police to take him to
the hospital for examination. de-
scribed his assai1ant as being dark
in complexion. 200 pounds in
weight, wearing striped coveralls

War-BOOm Cities Slated

ancient languages. Their answers
probably are fairly indicative OF
what's going to happen in San Di-
ESQ. Chattanooga, Norfolk, and all
the other towns jerked into a
whirligig of assembly lines, bloat-
ed payrolls. swingshift dances, and
grocery h elves stocked with
champagne.
Here are the postwar plans OF
the migrants as shown in the SUR
vey:
Thirty-one percent will remain if
they have job.
Twenty-four percent definitely
will leave.
Another "a percent haven't made
up their minds; and, presumably,
will hop to whichever side of the
fence promises the best job op-
portunity.
And 81 percent are going to
stick, whether or no.
One of the prime questions was
what do you think will be the
first thing you will spend your saw
ings on?" Six per cent of the tin
hatters retorted, what savings?"
But a large group-38 per cent
said they would buy new home,
house and lot. or farm.
Nineteen percent also had def
nitely earmarked bank balances
to be used for refrigerators, auto
mobiles, CIR odd items like "get-
ting a divorce" and teaching my
husband good table manners.
For hard-headed industrialists
and city planners, the survey was
the first concrete basis for decid-
ing how much new enterprise and
how many public works must be
set up to avoid an unemployment
gap.
Already laid plans, formulated
chiefly for returning veterans,
probably could absorb many mi
grants. Portland's $75,OO0,00O pub
lie works program, developed by
Robert Moses, New York city
park commissioner, would-if ap-
proved by city fathers-employ
10000 over two year period.
If Portland's survey is typical,
what kind of labor can war-boom
cities count on for peacetime in
dustry?
The group, including both mi
grants and d-timers, will tend to
be composed of older workers.
People under 80 are most apt to
have definite plans to leave.
About e percent of the pool will
be people who were skilled labor
ers before the war. The next larg-
est group will be unskilled labor
ers-though many, by virtue of
wartime practice and ten-week
quickie courses, are now at least
semi skilled. T ir d comes the
white collar class.
A big slice of them will be wcrn-
en-. The survey showed that the
gal tinhatters like welding rods
better than washing machines.
Slxty-one percent Of women work
ers want to stick to industry.
