ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG', OREGON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1942. i - m ( .... Papooses Set For Journey to Take On Ashland Quint ' ' By MICKEY CAMPBELL . Tim Roseburg junior IiIrIi Pa pooses journey tonight to Ash land, whero they will play the Ashland junior hlch basketcors. Coach "Hod" Turner rrporleU di ' iiiAiity in pitiCu.lf.A nan;-,paiia lion and thus announced the pos sibility of only Jive players mak ing the trip. If possible to obtain .another car, however, he will lake his full traveling squad of (en men. Reports which have come In aflout the Ashland team are that tta' players are small but ex tremely fast. Therefore, Coach Turner anticipates no easy con test. Last week the Ashlandltes Won a close game from Medford Junior high, who In turn edged out the Papooses In a hard fought and close struggle. The Roseburg team will stay over night at Ashlund with their Opponents. Arrangements have been made whereby each player of the host team entertains one 6 the visiting team. This proce dure eliminates the long hard dlght driving after the games atnU also cuts down on expenses of overnight trips. The same idea was used before and has proved very successful. It helps t$ keep good-feeling between the opposing players. Five of Squad Left Handed. ' , 2 An Interesting sidelight on the local team is that five of the ijayers on the squad are left handed. Coach Turner in an nouncing the uniqueness of this, said that he would like to use them all at the same time If the opportune time ever came. The starting line-up for the Papooses will probubly be: Krell and James nl forwards; Loomls at center; and Harrison and Fulps at guards. Reserves would include; Young, UiRaut, Pippin, Bashford and Wallace. Billions Requested of Congress for Warplanes ', (Continued from page II the signal corps and chemical warfare service.

Record Output In Full Swing With "good strong foundations" already established. America is on its way today to "outbuilding the world" In pianos and tanks -the "two most important wea pons" in modern war and is stepping up rapidly all lines of war output. Moreover, said a "report (o the nation" Issued by the newly form ed office of facts and figures, the navy has 346 new combat vessels under construction double its present strength; contracts have been let for 11119 merchant ships; the army is expanding toward a possible 7,000,000 men, and eco nomic warfare Is proceeding on world-wide fronts. Some of the highlights of the report : 1. Production of all weapons and supplies will be Increased nearly 300 per cent In 1012 over (he last 18 months. 2. Army warplane production has been "stepped up to the point where, with Great Britain, we soon will exceed the plane output of the axis countries. More im portant, we will have the plant capacity (o Increase our produc tion to the point where we can seize control of the air In all areas of the world struggle." Planes Held World's Best 3. The United States now has four types of army combat planes "better than anything yet produc ed abroad, so far as Is known. American bomber types now in mass production are superior to those built anywhere alse In the world. Still better models are one the way." 4. Plane and tank production this year will equal that of I lit ler "in all the years before lfl.'lil when he was preparing to con quer the world." 5. Despite "all handicaps," pro duction of tanks and combat ve hicles is more than three times that of n year ago; guns of all types nearly five times as large; ammunition, nine times. "We al ready are producing light and medium tanks in quantities and the Ilrst heavy tank was deliver ed to the army the day we declar ed war on Japan." 6. At the time of the attack on Pearl harbor, the navy was build ing 15 battleships to add to Its 17 nlremlv built; 11 nil-craft car- Drug Store Kodak Finishing 1 roll, 6 or 8 exposure, devel oped and 1 print each for 25c 1 5x7 enlargement free on ,755 aouoie weignr paper. 35c m mm PALM OLIVE SHAVE CREAM. 2 for LIFE BUOY SHAVE CREAM. 2 for CLEAN SING TISSUES Special DOUBLE ERar THEAT RICAL COLO CREAM B1, 1000 units. 100 tables .., $1.59 Iriers building, 7 built; 54 cruisers building, 37 built; 193 destroyers building, 171 built; 73 submarines building, 113 built-in all 340 building, 345 built. 7. The navy also hnu under construction by the end of 1941 a total of 90 auxiliaries, 243 mine craft, 225 patrol boats and had added 2,000 planes to its air arm. Aid To Allies Cited H. Lend-lease supplies have ex panded from a trickle to a stream that "must become a river, a tor rent, and then a flood." These funds have helped the? army fer rying command deliver more than 1,000 planes purchased by Britain, and are bulwarking de fenses through construction of British bases at Rangoon in Bur ma, at Karachi on the Arabian sea, and other vital outposts on the Persian gulf and In Eritrea. Lend-lease uid for China was described as "far from adeouate," as was that for Russia, although shipments of oil, gasoline and other supplies to the latter coun try are expected to be stepped up rapidly." The report said 5.000,000 works had been drawn Into war Indus tries and 15,000,000 more would be needed by 1944. Some labor shortages would be unavoidable, it said, hut an unprecedented training program would furnish most of the requirements. An estimated 500,000 women and girls are already at war jobs, many In aircraft plants. A wo- mans "land army may have to be recruited to meet a threatened shortage of farm labor.

What I want to know is, if I divorce her and marry Miss x x x x, who Is several years younger and loves me very much, will you still keep me In class 3 A?" President Roosevelt's office re layed the query to the registrant's local board for action. King FIG TREES NOW ON SALE GOETTEL'S Variety ROSEBURG RHS Senior B Quintet Loses to Yoncalla, 29 to 28 By MICKEY CAMPBELL The Rosebiirg senior high B squad was defeated at Yoncalla In a close basketball contest by Yoncalla high school last Wed nesday 29 to 28. The Bees held a narrow .margin throughout most of -'!;p- 3.ti. h.'t lost . It .momen tarily in the last quarter. They then drove out In front again and held a one point margin as the final minutes were ticking away but Yoncalla scored a field goal In the last ten seconds of play. According to Coach Swart.-, kopf, coach of the B squad, all of the local players turned in excep tional performances. None of these players has had much ex perience and their ability to hold up while playing on an opponent's floor showed they have great promise, the coach said. The B squad Is made up entire ly of sophomores and juniors who are hot on the main "A" squad. They are thus able to obtain val uable playing experience al though they are not on the main team. By limiting the B squad to sophomores and juniors, the prospects for next season are de veloped and all these players re main to replace gaps in the main team. Already the B squad has played three games this year and has several yet to go. As time goes on they Improve rapidly, due to more confidence and gen eral floor play. Several of last year's B squad players are now on the varsity team so the value of these games has been proven. Lineups for the Yoncalla game were: Roseburg (28) (29) Yoncalla Wiley (4) F (G) Gross Anderson (ID... K (4) Shapro Olson (3 C (8) Williams Dishman 14) G (2) Wright Cacy (2) G (2) Blgelow Maulding (4) and Clark 2). Marsters (2), Main (2). ' Japan Conquest Sweeps Closer to Australia (Continued from page 1) between Australia and New Guinea and force allied shipping Into a 3,000-mile detour south of the Australia mainland. Australia Pleads For Aid In swift alarm, Australia or- dered blackouts in all cities, mili tia units were equipped with full battle dress, and the common wealth war cabinet was called in emergency session. Urgent new appeals were sent to Washington and London stressing the need for reinforcements. The locale of the Japanese landing in New Guinea was not given, but presumably the Invad ers put ashore near oft-bombed Madang, on the northeast coast, 450 miles airline from Cape York, Australia, and 1,200 miles from Australia's great Port Darwin na val base. Deputy Prime Minister Fordo, warning that "we must realize the gravity of the situation," said it was assumed that the Japanese had also landed at Rabaul, New Britin island, where the British garrison had withdrawn after firing and dynamiting dock in stallations at the approach of a Japanese flotilla of 11 ships late yesterday. Subsequently, Forde announced that the only confirmed landing In the Bismarck' archipelago which includes New Britain, New Oreland and small adjacent isles was at Kcito, 250 miles south east of Rabaul. A fleet of commercial airliners, carrying double loads, evacuated 800 women and children from Rabaul In the last few hours be fore the Japanese landed there. Japanese Premier Boasts In Tokyo, Premier Tojo boast ed that Japan was assured of fur ther triumphs in "Greater East Asia," and declared: "I am not afraid of America, although I do not dismiss lightly the huge military expenditure called for in President Roose velt's Message to congress." Tojo-'asserted that in manpow er "Japan tops the world." On the Malayan front, the Mel bourne radio broadcast a message from MaJ.-Gen. Gordon Bennett, Australian commander, frankly conceding that the situation "if anything is more serious than It was a few uays ago."

I i 1 H 1 grim-fighting British, Australian and Imperial Indian troops who had stemmed Japan's main inva sion armies lor three days now are throwing their full weight into a terrific counter-offensive, with the battle raging on an 80 mlle front across Johore state, less than 70 miles mirth of Singa pore. ! The Japanese were throwing planes over all sections of the front and once more raided Sing apore, where in the last three days their bombs have been offi cially credited with killing A2C, persons and wounded 1,(H3. British Retreat In Burma British troops faced wtih su perior Japanese forces are being withdrawn from the mountain areas east of Moulmeln, Burma, it was announced today the Japanese moved to within 26 miles of the Gulf of Murtaban port. Fighting with the Japanese are Thai troops. The British were said to be moving their forces back to points where transport and com munications were better. Moulmein, the latest objective of troops driving westward from Thailand, was raided by Nippon ese fliers yesterday. Seven civil ians were killed. The port of Burma had two air raid warnings this morning while an even larger than usual number of British and American volunteer corps fighters patrolled the skies. Japanese Base BlaBted The Japanese base in French Indo-China which was attacked by Chinese bombers yesterday was Hanoi, the capital, Reuters In London reported today in a dispatch from Chungking. Reuters said 15 fighter planes of the American volunteer group took part in the raid, carired out by 57 planes. The others were 27 Chinese -jombers and 15 Chinese i fighters. Not a Japanese plane took off to offer resistance, the dispatch added, and all of the Chinese and American planes returned safely. The British radio relayed today a report that Chinese guerrillas had crossed the Yellow sea and L.tn..m.l l'nn r,-t,-,l h3l. i quarters on Yoko Island, off the coast of Koroa. Use of Gas Threatened In. a possible attempt to pave the way for Japanese use of gas attacks in the Philippines, a Nip ponese government press spokes man has acted as a sounding board for charges that Ameri- j can "oops have utilized gas bombs against the invaders. In a radio Tokyo broadcast, picked up by a CBS listening post in San Francisco last night, the Japanese press official, supposed ly in commenting on reports ap pearing in Japanese papers about the alleged American use of gas, was quoted as saying he "would not be surprised to hear that news, judging from the barbar ous and desperate tactics so far resorted to by American troops." The broadcast stated the spokesman did admit "he had no official report about it." Joins Marines Robert HoIIing er, son of E.

"Even so, I think this Is a good workable bill," he said. Bankhead, who sponsored the amendment to give the secretary of agriculture a virtual veto pow er or1" price., .ceypj.fiirrp, products, was jubilant over con ference acceptance of this provi sion. President Roosevelt open ly opposed the restriction, al though officials noted that the chief executive always had an ace in the hole, because both the price administrator and the secretary of agriculture serve only at his pleasure. The compromise set prices dur ing the period October 1 to 15 of last year as standards for the price ceilings with the exception of farm prices. In this field the price administrator could not fix ceilinus or order reductions be low the highest of these: Aver age farm prices on October 1 or December 15 of last year; aver age farm prices for the period 1919-29; or 110 per cent of parity prices determined by the deplrt ment of agriculture. War Profits Assailed. Demands that congress take immediate steps to limit war pro fits were sounded in the senate yesterday by Chairman Walsh (D., Mass.) of the senate naval committee. "Checkbooks will not win this war," Walsh shouted as he asked what drafted men In the armed forces must think when they read congressional reports of excessive profits and new millionaires. Asserting that he favored a strict limit on all war profits, Walsh said that while "soldiers getting S21 and $31 a month were pouring out their life blood, wealth is being piled up and more millionaires are being made." Walsh recalled that from 1924 to 1938 congress placed a profit limit of 12 per cent on aircraft and 10 per cent on navy vessels i and that in 1938 congress reduced I these to 8 and 7 per cent but these limits were removed in an appro priation measure.
