Washington, D. C.
ALCOHOL AND WPB
is- mysterious hand has reached
inside the War Production board to
hold up a new method of alcohol
production. The process, developed
in Germany, is the distillation of
alcohol from sawdust and wood
waste.
All over the U. S. A. there is a
great surplus of sawdust and wood
Scraps from saw mills. In some
!areas, its disposal is a problem. But
~tn Germany, some 30 plants are in
,operation turning sawdust not only
!into alcohol, but yeast and cattle
feed,
This same process has been tested
at a U. S. forest service pilot plant
~at Marquette. Wis.. and recently
Governor Moses
Reports on the
Omaha Conference
Reporting to the people of North
Dakota on the Governor's Confer-
ence of the Nine h~l~ouri River
Valley States at Omal~ on March
13 and 14, governor John Moses
said in a recent radio broadcast
that the "meeting was exploratory
and In the main, very satisfactory."
The first day of the conference
was open to the public. To gover-
nor Moses was given the task of
responding to the address of wel-
come by the Governor of Nebraska
and to outline the problems facing
delegates. Each governor and
members of the delegations from
the various states stated publicly
the position of his state. Every
i governor, with one possible excep-
tion. expressed his spirit of coopera-
tion. The navigation interests were
plans were all set to open a corn- ably and strongly represented. The

and J. ALfred Hall, borrowed from
the forest service by WPB's of}ice
of production research and devel-
Opment. actually had gone out to
Oregon to inspect the proposed Wil-
qamette site.
But now something has happened.
[The alcohol division of WPB is re-
,ported to be quietly throwing mon-
key wrenches into the works.
For two long years, WPB's alco-
hol division had blocked the saw-
Idust alcohol method for the obvious
[reason that the big alcohol eom-
!lamaies are entrenched with the
!Or/ban molasses method. Their
~pla~Is are near the Atlantic sea-
Iboard, where molasses is readily ac-
,eessible, They don't want competi-
Men from the lumber regions of the
!~South and Northwest. But finally,
ibeeause of the desperate alcohol
!shortage, they were overruled and
ithe Willamette plant was authorized.
However, queer things happened.
When- the Willamette application
was sent by registered mail to WPB,
it was "lost." WPB refused to act
without the "original" application,
so valuable weeks were wasted ar-
guing.
Then, an engineer named Levy,
who had had experience with the
sawdust method in Germany, was
brought here from England. This
time, the Willamette application pa-
pers were ready. But another hitch
developed. WPB suddenly found
• ome of Levy's credentials unsatis-
factory, demanded an FBI investi-
gation. The FBI Cleared him, but
still the WPB's alcohol division is
holding things up.

AIR WAR OVER GERMANY
Strange as it may seem. the pres-
on! problem of the U. S. and British
air forces over Europe is not so
much to locate the targets but to lo-
cate German fighter planes. Nazi
fighters have been so reduced in
numbers that they are being held
back, apparently for the second
front. Allied bombers occasionally
make a complete mission to the Con-
tinent without meeting any opposi-
tion in the air.
This is good news, but it prevents
heavy attrition of the Luftwaffe un-
less the German planes are sought
out on the ground•
As American fliers put it: "We've
done a birth-contvol job on the Luft-
waffe." In other words, they have
struck manufacturing plants so suc-
cessfully ~.ahat fighter production is
way down. This applies both to
twin-engine and single-engine fight-
ers. Plants making both types have
been struck systematic and devas-
tating blows.
Air forces officials have figures on
the exact amount of that "birth con-
trol," but the figures are highly con-
fidential. British as well as Amer-
ican officials are delighted with the
results, and the British are now ad-
mitting the superiority of American
Drecision bombing in knocking off
certain targets.
Germans Avoiding a Fight.
In the text book of air power, after
you have attacked the enemy's air-
craft industry, you aim at the en-
emy's planes in the air. And that
is what the RAF and AAF are try-
~ng to do now. But the Germans
are avoiding a fight. They are try-
ing to check losses by keeping their
planes on the ground.
Occasionally, returning pilots con-
tradict this. "The man who says
the Luftwaffe is licked is just plain
crazy1" And they have battle
wounds for evidence. Explanation is
that the Nazis concentrate fighter
strength over one important~target.
Air experts say Germany is now
in the desperate plight England was
in at the climax of the blitz of 1940-
41. The British now admit that, if
the Germans had come over a few
more times, they would have bro-
ken the back of England. But the
Luftwaffe simply couldn't stand the
terrific losses.
MERRY-G0-ROUND
The U. S. Quartermaster corps
now operates a slow-down-the-war
system which requires personal
guides and 20 minutes extra time to
conduct visitors from the entrance
of the building to various offices.
41. '2vian Mountain" Dean, the fa-
mous wrestler, has risen to the rank
of sergeant at Camp Ritchie, Md.,
where he supervises the "Pick-up
squad," removing trash from the
company streets. Dean is down to
a mere F/5 pounds, after losing 90
tion.
"'The second day was devoted to
an executive sessmn, participated
in by the nine governors and mem-
bers of the committee. We got
down to business. The cards were
pla.ced on the table. The position
of each state is definitely under-
stood by the representatives of the
other states," Moses stated.
"We in North Dakota are deeply
concerned with the proposal to
widen and deepen the channel of
the Missouri River below Sioux City
from 200 to 300 feet and to deepen
it from six to nine feet. The navi-
gution interests fight for this be-
cause navigation is on the basis
of a nine foot channel in the Mis-
sissippi and the Ohio. They do not
want to reload the cargo from a
six foot .barge to a nine foot barge.
We have no valid objection if there
is enough water for our needs.
"As a ~angible result of the con-
ference, three things were unani-
mously agreed t~:
"1. It is of the utmost importance
to determine how much water there
is available. A subcommittee of
nine, consisting of one engineer
appointed by the governor of each
of the nine states, is to meet and
determine, in conjunction with the
army engineers and the engineers
of the bureau of reclamation, Just
how much water there will be
available, on an average basis, for
navigation below Sioux City and
for lrigation in South and North
Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
"2. This com~J~tee is to make a
careful study of the bureau of re-
clan~tion plan, which we have
been promised by the first of May,
and on a basis of such study as
well as further studies of the army
plans, and independent research, is
to report to the next meeting of
the governors' conference•
"3. The governors and the mem-
bers of the respective state com-
mittees will meet again at Omaha
• . . within the next 60 to 90 days,
for the purpose of further studying
the problem in the light of the ad-
ditional information then available,
and in a further effort to agree
upon an all-over Missouri river de-
velopment plan.
"The interests of the different
states vary greatly. Montana and
Wyoming are entirely reclamation
states and interested in Irrigation
and power developments, and flood
control on the tributaries.
"North Dakota's interests are the
same as those of Montana and
Wyoming, with the very important
addition of Missouri river diversion.
"One would think that the legiti-
mate interests of South Dakota
should be the same as ours, irriga-
tion and diversion with power de-
velopments and flood control, mul-
tiple purpose dams on the tribu-
taries, but we cannot escape the
conclusion that South Dakota is
more interested in the adoption
of :the Pick plan as now proposed
than it Is holding up the Pick plan
until we can get the complete pic-
before congress.
"Iowa's interests lies in flood con-
xol and a nine foot channel from
Sioux City.
"Kansas and Nebraska have wide
irrigation interests, but the naviga-
tion people ,are strong in both
states.
"We received little comfort from
the statements made by the gover-
nor of Missouri. but it is hoped that
when the plan is thoroughly under-
stood, the necessity for cooperation
and agreement is recognized, the
people of Missouri will cooperat~
with the other states in a great,
united effort to put over a program
for the over-all development of the
river.
"To sum the matter up," said
governor Moses, "I can truly say
that I came back from Omaha with
a feeling that this exploratory con-
ference . . . had been worthwhile.
Much work Is still to lpe done,
however. The North Dakota mem-
bers of the Eight States committee,
Halvor L. Haivorson of Minor and
.State Engineer Lieutenant John
Tucker, on loan from the navy for
the purpose of this and a previous
conference in Bismarck. together
with K. W. Simons, vice chairman
of the State Water Conservation
commission, share that feeling."

Food rationing became simpler I

food. If so, it is one more reason
why people should do all they
