tle Creek rally to stay in the

Dodd came through with the bas
ket that won the game for Yon
calla. Elkton 37, Camas Valley 21
After a first close quarter,
which saw the score tied at Gall,
the Elkton Elks ran roughshod
over a none too potent Camas
Valley aggregation, Paul Ander
son set a hot pace as Elkton In
creased its lead to 18 to 12 at
half-time and 28 to 16 In the
third quarter. The Camas Dig
gers fought gamely, but were
no match for the rugged Elkton
team. Anderson topped the
opening day's scoring by potting
19 polnls.
Reedsport 43, Drain 24
What was expected to be the
day's best game turned out to
be a walk-away for the big Reeds
port team... Led by two brilliant
stars, Dunn and Brandon, Reeds
port was out In front all of the
way and was ahead 21 to 13 at
half-time. Jim Kirk, Drain for
ward, although suffering from a
bad cold, kept the game from be
ing a complete rout by scoring
15 points. Dunn led the scoring
with 18.
Lookingglass 33, Myrtle Creek 30
The final game Thursday saw
the rangy Lookingglass team
win an exciting game from the
Myrtlo Creek Vikings. Myrtle
Creek had a bad case of buck
ague to start the game and went
for the first 12 minutes without
a score, while Lookingglass pil
ed up 15 tallies. By half-time,
however, Myrtle Creek had cut
the lead to 17 to 9. During the
last half the Vikings staged a
beautiful drive, led by Rust,
Chancy and Dyer, but faltered
momentarily midway, long en
ough for Lookingglass to gain
three quick baskets in taking ad
vantage of bad passes, and add
sufficient margin to nose out a
three-poin( victory.

WOOL
! BOSTON, l'eh. 21. (API The
Commercial Bulletin will say of
! the Boston wool market tomor
' row :
"Business has been heetic In
the wool market this past week.
The announcement of further
government orders equivalent to
100 million pounds of grease
wool, or more, led the mills evi
dently to anticipate their re
quirements. Hence, they bought
contracts from the dealers of
wool vet to be shorn very freely,
around S1.00 to S1.05 for aver
age to choice fine wools and
around 97-98 cents for half-blood
wools, scoured basis. They also
bought further sizable weights
of foreign half-blood and fine
wools at firm prices.
"Dealers were thus spurred on
to further contracting in the1
west and it is estimated that ful
ly 80 million pounds of the new
clip are under contract, mostly
unshorn. Prices being paid range
from 30 to 40 cents according to
the character and staple of the
wool, with most of the business
nround 35 cents for both medium
and finer clips.
"Foreign markets are rather
quiet but very firm.
Cloth buyers lor iiviuan nuv
noses are finding it rather diffi
cult to place contracts, in the
face of the huge government or
ders. "Mohair has been quiet but
firm."

Cairo reports said Britain had
given Greece every assurance
I that she is capable of throwing
j large numbers of troops into the
i Balkan conflict.
U. S. Built Planes On Way
New reserves of United States-
huilt bombers and fighting planes
I were said to have enabled Britain
to rush aerial reinforcements to
Greece, as well as to Africa and
the far east.
The British embassy at Wash
ington announced today that "air
craft are being flown" to its
forces in the far east from the
west coast of the United States.
Although indicating that pow
erful bomber reinforcements
were being sent to the British at
Singapore, the embassy declined
to give any further details.
"We can say nothing about the
numbers, types, or routes of these
aircraft," an official said.
Nazis Deal Fresh Blows
The nazl luftwaffe was strik
ing hard, meanwhile, to short-circuit
Britain's shipping communi
cations. Berlin said nazi bombers
attacked 10 ships totalling 45,
000 tons within the past 24 hours,
sinking four totalling about 14,
500 tons. Four others were re
ported "heavily damaged."
A source close to German offi
cialdom explained that Gorman
U-boats were sinking compara
tively few British ships because
"many of the U-boat crews are
engaged in preparation for the
big offensive which Hitler pro
claimed." German night raiders again
bombed the South Wales port of
Swansea, following ud Wednes
day night's attack, and the Brit
ish acknowledged "extensive
damage" from showers of incen
diary and high-explosive bombs.

Japs Continue Pressure .
The critical situation In the
Orient, blown to major propor
tions in the past week, underwent
a new tremor as Japanese mili
tary authorities in French Indo
china were reported to have de
manded that the French had over
$10,000,000 worth of AmerieaL
and cninese-ownea irucKs, tires
and other supplies stored in
Haiphong warehouses.
When the French refused, It
was said, the Japanese strength
ened their guards around the
warehouses.
At Cairo British general head
quarters announced today its
forces invading Italian Somali
land had forced a new crossing of
the Juba river north of the orig
inal bridgehead.
The Juba river had been the
chief line of Italian resistance to
the British offensive Into this
southernmost of Italy's East
African holdings.
The communique also announc
ed capture of 5,576 Italian colon
ial troops and 745 Italian regulars
on the Eritrean front in the last
month.
' "In addition many prisoners
have been taken in the areas of
the Blue Nile, the upper Nile and
In the Gojjam," the communique I
said. These areas are in Ethlopra;.
Publicity on Defense Quiz
Criticiied by Roosevelt
(Continued from page 1)
as to what actually was told the
committee.
Mr. Roosevelt refused, in re-!
sponse to further questions, to j
disclose the actual testimony, say
ing with a smile that would be
compounding a felony.
"Ethics" Questioned
Asserting he was not criticiz
ing reporters for trying to get
the story because that was part
of their job, the president did
say that he questioned the eth
ics of editors and publishers in
printing such information.
He added broadcasters to the
list. In answer to a query.
The whole matter, Mr. Roose
velt said, involved the question
whether committee members
ought to disclose to anybody
what it said in a secret session.
If they do disclose it, either un
der the seal of secrecy or not,
Mr. Roosevelt said it was perfect
ly all right for a reporter to take
li is information to his office. But
printing the story presented a
difficult problem, he added.
He asked whether an owner,
manager, managing editor, or
head of a Washington press asso
ciation office was not under the
same moral, ethical, or patriotic
uuiv not to print such a stoi v,
