That belief must be strong among veterans when they speak of the Bear of Oakland. All California knows her. The ship was launched 67 years ago in Scot Jand. In 1884 the United States bought her for the rescue of the Greely Arctic expedition—and she drove through 1400 miles of ice pack to save the survivors. Then she was placed in the California-Arctic .operation -of the U. S. revenue cutter service. For 45 years the Bear carried medicine, food, law and authority to.the bitter Alaskan coast beyond tHe Bering straits. . Nearly each year she was “lost” in the erinding packs of ice; but each year the scarred hull and dauntless heart made home port. ae Yet the “‘“end’’ came. In 1926 a brand new cutter was commissioned and the Bear was retired. She was given to Oakland for a nautical museum. Then’the Byrd expedition neeed'a real boat—a tough boat the admiral could trust, for his Anarctic expedition. And Admiral Byrd and the Bear simply drew together. Twice the Bear of Oakland carried explorers to the Anarctic—and brought them back. Now Uncle Sam has troubles at sea. Last week word came that the shiv that brought to Boston the Nazi radio operators picked up in Greenland was—the Bear. There are modern dangers unknown in the old rover’s youth; torpedoes, submarines, dive bombers. But the oaken-ribbed veteran is in there for the duration. She's that sort of ship; the Bear of Oakland. NO LUCK FOR THE WICKED . , It might be called the case of the cops’ convention.

Now we know that the transgressor is also plumb out of luck. NATIONAL FOREST Supervisor E. L. Acting Forest Baxter of the Tahoe National Forest, announced today that fire season haz officially closed on alllands within the boundaries of the Tahoe National Forest. Recent rains. have been sufficient to permit the lifting of all) restrictions in force during the hot . and dry summer months. Smoking; will no longer be restricted to posted areas, campfire permits no longer are needed, shove and axe are not re. quired in each car traversing the forest roads. Baxter cautioned, however that burning permits are needed until December 1 and can be secured from the various ranger headquarters or the Nevada City supervisor's office. ‘ “The closing of the present fire season,’’ Baxter stated, ‘‘concluded one of the best seasonsyon record. Going through a whole season with only 82 fires conclusively proves that. NO TIME FOR THIS Stern action by the government is in order in the so-called captive coal mine strike, which can better be described, perhaps, as a John L. Lewis strike against the defense of the United States. The issue is clearcut: All but 5. per cent of the 53.000 laborers in the mines owned by the major steel companies belong to Lewis’ United Mine Workers. Lewis is demanding a closed shop that will bring the other 5 per cent into the UMW. With some steel furnaces already closing down. Lewis has defied all attempts of the president to settle the dispuite. He apparently would prefer to paralyze the whole defense program rather than give in. If there were a question of wages, hours, working conditions, the right to bargain collectively, or some other such issue in this strike there might be grounds for argument, even though there sti!l would be no excuse for a shutdown. But this is a plain question of black-jacking men into joining a union, or of compelling their employers to force them to join, in order to increase the power and bargaining position of an already-powerful union. Lewis apparently would gladly scuttle the whole defense program in order to achieve this end. . The: public has little. sympathy for those who not only will refuse to make any sacrifices, but who actually will capitalize on the nation’s present emergency by using it as an ex cuse to strongarm their way into a position of greater power. This isa time when labor and capital must call a truce in their costly battle for advantages over. one another. It certainly is no time for labor leaders to order strikes simply to demonstrate and increase their power, any more than it is a time for employers to engage in union-busting activities. President Roosevelt spoke for every patriotic American when he bluntly told John L. Lewis: “There is no reason for stoppage of work. It is essential that the mining of coal should go on without interruption.” curity.
