GOODYEAR EXEC. IS BACK AFTER
 70 YEARS AWAY

Refreshing 20-year-old memories of Alaska = and finding present realities better than his recollections is Wallace T. Roberts. who trav- eled the Territory from 1926 through 1928 representing the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.
 Roberts is now a mechanical divi- sion manager for that company, with his headquarters at Salt Lake City. He is completing months return trip to Alaska, in company with the present Goodyear representative, Glenn Walker. Coming here from the Interior and Westward, they are taking time out in Juneau to land some salmon before heading south the first of next week, with stops enroute at Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchikan.
 Roberts will go back to Salt Lake, while Walker continues to Akron. Walker will be north again in July, he said.
 Roberts already has mace up his mind to come back to Alaska again next year. He said it has been a real pleasure to meet again his old Alaska friends. A good share of them are still in the Territory, he found.

Comcare it to the S4700O O000oo total of 1926. the s5h00 003000 in 1929, s15G2O00o00 in 1882 and s3926ol0OOO in 194O
 It is interesting to note that most of the $l5o0O- 0O0COo is for goods exported on direct sale basis comparatively small ratio less than O0OOoo- goes for UNRRA and lend-lease The latter total is but s2 900 O0O shipped out under old contracts Stll it possible that lend-ease may be one of the reasons fer the export record we now establishing

The Industrial Northwest
(NeW York Times

, (New York Times In five years the Pacific Northwest, which means Oregon Washington Idaho and western Montana, has been transformed by electric power Where once the lumbermans axe rang and farmers raised crops on irrigated soil there are huge plants that produce aluminium, magnesium, ferro -alloys heavy chemicals, arpanes ships and plutonium It is safe to say that had it not been for Bonneville and Grand Couee we could not have met the demand for of these materials. On the basis of energy deliveries the Bon neville Grand Coulee system is the third largest in the country Yet the Northwest is hungry for pow CT that it is clamorng for more What this means, Ivan Bloch of the Bonneville Power Administration recently told the Chicago Eectrochemical Society.
 When it first projected the Bonneville Grand Couee system regarded as an enterprise that could hardly pay for itself in decades. There was some reason for pessimism By stroke of good luck the more important power plants were ready by the time
 we were preparing to enter the Instead of falling off with the arrival of peace the demand for aumi- num- magnesium and ferro-aloys is actually increas-
 ing so that the Northwest is bound to grow 1ndustrl- ally The Niagara Falls plants cannot be expanded IVA has about reached the limit of it's hydro-power possibilities the St Lawrence project may not offer much relief because of the rapid expansion of non
 industrial power requirements of this State As MT. Bloch sees it. the West remains the one great source of hydroelectrc energy
 It is gratifying to learn that the Bonneville Grand Coulee system has been profitable investment As of June 30 946 the Bonneville Power Administra-
 on has returned to the United States Treasury some S8O OO0about onefourth of the investment so far made incldine interest This financial showing is all the more remarkable because the 36 billion kilo watt hours sold since 1888 have average 2.55 mills per kilowatt- hour. Those who proclaim the dawn of a new industrial day that uranium pile may be substituted for coal oil, may well ponder these figures Nuclear fussion cannot compete with falling water which costs nothing. Whatever may happen in other parts of the world, the Northwest will rely on the Columbia River and it's tributaries potential of some 25 million kilowatts remains to be developed There is more gold in the water of the Columbia than there is in any of the hills of the Far West Horace Greeeys advice to young men is still good

REBUILDING GERMANY

One of the most significant argu- ments affecting the peace of the world has been going on long, dis tance between Washington and Berlin. It is over the rebuilding of Germany
 Finally, last Tuesday, Secretary of War Patterson ordered his assist ant secretary, Howard Petersen. to fly to Germany to settle an argu- msnt face to face with General Clay. Clay and the War Depart ment plans to spend S750,000000 additional to rebuild German in- dustry. But General Clay is afraid rebuilding Germany industry also means rebuilding the German mil itary.
 The big question-mark is where to draw the line between civilian industry and warmaking industry. Once you build up German steel, for instance, you have the basis for a German war machine.

JOHN L. LEWIS DICKEKS

Biggest stumbling block in cur rent negotiations between John L. Lewis and coal-mine operators is the health and welfare fund.
 Under a contract with the Gov ernment, cents is paid into the miners welfare fund for each ton of coal mined Approximately S20,- 000.000 has been paid in so far and the money is administered hy a board ol three-a miner, an opera tor and representative of the public.
 Lewis is now demanding that the welfare-fund assessment be increas- ed from to 10 cents on eacn ton as of June 30-the date mines are returned to the operators.
 It's suspected Lewis actually hopes to get cents, the present assessment but is demanding 10 cents fer bargaining purposes. . So far, however, operator spokes- men have turned a deaf ear even 10 cents, though some of the Southern operators have made a counter proposal Of 212 cents ton. Meantime, Rep. Gerald Landis of Indiana has entered the picture

them for the first time-that you can buy steam locomotives in the United States cheaply as in England Lend-lease has done selling and an ad- vertisne job for U s. manufacturers the world
 That is only one factor, of course in the U s. export situation It is, just now, minor factor, for America is the only great producing nation But it has given us edge-and an edge in the export business, as every sales manager knows is most important It is enough certainly, to insure the United States world market for many years to come. And world markets should remember can keep our factories humng after the tremendous pressure of internal buying has slackened They can spell the difference between continued prosperity and another blightng depression.

RAPID TURNOVER

ALHAMBRA, Calif.-The sheriff s office heard this story from the pro- prietor of an appliance store:
 A motor was stolen from a wash ing machine, presumably while everyone was out for coffee
 Later two men entered the store and offered a motor for S15. It seemed a good buy and was pur- chased.
 Then the proprietor found the motor was the one stolen earlier The two men had disappeared.

with a plan to break the deadlock. Landis, an ex-coal miner, has sug- gested to operator spokesmen that they agree to continue paying cents a ton into the welfare fund with the condition that half the money collected be returned to To- cal relief needs for mine families not now covered by the welfare fund.
 The operator spokesmen have tentatively accepted the Landis pro- posal, but Lewis, according to in- siders in the negotiations, will not agree to splitting up the welfare fund. In the end, however, this may be a compromise-w out.

 The War Department, which has been handling with palnstaking care the unhappy work of return ing the bodies of CT heroes from overseas, has run up against snag. Strikes i'll the casket-makins in- dustry will probably make 1t im- possible to bring the bodies home on schedule.
 The york Of returning about 20O-, eco war dead is much more diff cult than most people can imagine. First of all, letters were sent to next of kin asking whether they wish their CT heroes returned to this country or buried in a military cemetery abroad Actually. Ameri- can military cemeteries overseas have been among the best kept and beautiful in the world. However, most relatives have elected to have the bodies returned
 The War Department had worked out schedule for the shipment of easkets. but now strikes have occurred in two key companies manufacturing parts for taskets- Goodyear Aircraft and the Warren City Stamping Company.
 The outlook is most pessimistic, Gohn H. Fanning. labor relations expert for the Judge Advocate Gen. erals office, has reported to Gen Herman Feldman, Deputy Quarter master General. Both the compan- les and the union are being ada mant The attitude of the compan- ies is that they are the only ones who make caskets and whether they are delayed a week or month isn't particularly bad, because. they don't have the commercial incen- tive

BRITISH ARMS FOR GREECE

Despite official intimations to the contrary, Great Britain will de- finitely get about S65,000000 out of the money we voted for Greece and Turkey Here is how she will get it.
 The Greek Army is British-t train ed and British-equipped. And the British have convinced the State Department that it would be dan- gerous to substitute American arms for British arms, because a Greek division at the front equipped with British guns might receive ammm- ,tion designed Tor American guns.
 Therefore, the State Department has agreed to buy about $65 ,000,0 ,000 worth of additional British arms to supply the Greek army.

rotary of the Urban League who
is much in demand to appear be-
fore groups in the Portland dis
trict and about the state. This
very important task of telling and
interpreting the present state of
race relations is extremely nee
essary in modifying public opin-

ditions. This work is bearing
fruit. More Oregonians are pres
emily aware OF conditions and are
interested in doing something
concrete about them than ever
before in the history of Oregon.
The present fight for an FEPC

EMANCIPATION

ut is an intellectual farce II
an administration of university
which teaches racial and religious
tolerance should revoke that
theory by an opposite practice. "
The Emerald agrees with this
excerpt from a letter signed by
four veteran students and pub
lished in the January Is issue.
Nevertheless, 1T is important to
argue logically concerning any
problem which is largely emo
tional. There has been little
known conflict on this campus
caused by minority groups. I'M
doubleday there have been In
justices, but these are OF a per-
sonal nature and cannot be pre-
vented by administrations in
Johnson Hall.
Last week representatives of
the One World Club and the
American Veterans Committee
met with DR.. Newman to discuss
their viewpoints concerning the
treatment of one Negro woman
who was not allowed to live in
the dormitory Of her choice. BY
mutual consent she and white
woman had expressed their wish
to room together. This request was
denied by Mrs. Genevieve Turnip-
seed, director of dormitories, and
the colored girl was assigned to
another dorm.
