REGY L,\TIOA\S I 008§ The War Production Board, first turning down a | request for a new plant to convert wood waste mw‘ alcohel, now has given approval to the proposed plant’ for Eugene, Oregon, as “a form of national | insurance against any future raw materials shortages.” | The $2,247,000 structure was given WPB approval even though it may not get into production until next spring, too late to make any immediate contribution | to the war effort, tharking a complete change in WPB policy. In the past the WPB has refused to authvrze large plant construction projects which are not directly tied up with the war effort at once, and a loosening up of regulations is seen. WPB 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. The Oregon alcohol plant will be a project of the Willamette Valley Wood Chemical Company and is (’xp(‘(‘le‘d to have a capacity of 4,100,000 gallons a year. Feed and food grains, sugars and petroleum now form the basis for the nation’s record 600 million gallon alcohol program. Nelson believes the process which will be used in Oregon could be expanded into a program which would make 100 million gallons a year. The Oregon plant will use a process first developed successfully in Germany. Other Tragedies Recalled (Cincinnati Enquirer) The recent sinking of an American troopship 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, on April 15, 1912, with the Joss of 1,513 lives. The second was the destruction of the Cunard steamship Lusitania, on May 17, 1815, with 1,198 dead, including more than 100 American citizens. Both disasters are graphically pictured in a small paper-bound “almanac” brought to our attention by Mr. C. E. Mayers. 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 Kaiser's underwater vessels, almost a 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, a wave of indignation swept the United States as a result of the torpedoing of a craft which was pri- marily, a passenger ship The Titanic tragedy resulted from a collision with an iceberg in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. The accident took place in a calm sea, with help so near that observers on the craft of one ship, the-Cali- fornia, were able to see the Titanic, probably after the great wound had been opened in her hull. A queer combination of circumstances, however, kept the Cali- fornia from receiving the SOS signal from the Titanic | radio, although other ships within range did hear the | plea, and several rushed fo her assistance. The Cali- | fornia did not know the Titanic was in distress when | she was sighted. In both these disasters, deeds of heroism and valor were reported—deeds which will go down in history. | It is probable that similar examples of courage were\ displayeéd 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 a time, earlier in the war, when the | Allies aproached this season with misgivings. Not‘ only had other great sea tragedies taken place then, but Hitler selected the months of spring, when better | weather came to the Atlantic, to intensify 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‘ 'a major concern this month.
