SIX R.L Russell Will Head Fraternal ' Week Committee Appointment of Ralph L. Rus sell as local chairman or a com mittee to head observance of Na tional Fraternal week, May 4 to 9, was announced here today by Hnymon L. Wilson and Maurice Hudson, both of Portland. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hudson, directors In the Oregon State Fraternal congress, have been assigned to organize the southwestern Ore gon district for the special ob servance. The National Fraternal con gress, composed of the various fraternal orders, has selected Oregon as one of five states In which special programs will be conducted during the week, It was reported. The Oregon congress, seeking a plan In which the fra ternal spirit could best be public ly exemplified, decided to ask the lodges in each of 20 of the princl pal cities of the stale to unite in sponsoring a benefit for the Shrine hospital In Portland. New Benefits Needed It was pointed out, the state di rectors said that the hospital will probably suffer a material drop in revenue, duo to the diversion of public contributions into the war effort, unless some new type ot benefit Is arranged. As the Oregon Fraternal congress values the work of the hospital most highly and believes that It should be given continued support dur ing the war period, It was the opinion that a series of state-wide benefits would be the most suit able type of fraternal demonstra tion. The local committee will be authorized to determine the type of benefit to bo arranged und all orders will be asked to join in the activity. The state committee, It was an nounced, 'Is headed by Mayor Riley of Portland. Mayor A. J.

Nazi Slaughter Reported Soviet dispatches told of renew ed bloody slaughter of German reserves, reporting 5.G70 nazis killed. Two German divisions counter-attacking on the Kalinin front the broad, general region northwest of Moscow were re ported routed after ' a fierce battle. A Berlin radio broadcast con ceded that red army troops, at tacking with many tanks, had broken through the German de fense line north of Lake Ilmen, presumably around Novgorod, and dislodged advanced nazi units. The broadcast asserted, howev er, that the Russian spearhead was subsequently cut off fron supplies and reinforcements. Novgorod, a key German base, is northeast of the bloody Staraya Kussa battle sector where the nazi 16th army has been trapped for weeks. Predicts Nazi Defeat Meanwhile from soviet head quarters came the declaration from S. A. Lozovsky, vice com, missar for foreign affairs, that the red army will liquidate the German army in Russia in 1942. He add that United States sup plies are reaching the Russian forces and being "used to make nazi corpses." Asked how United States sup plies are arriving, Lozovsky re plied that "all sorts of things for war are being received but pre- cisely in what quantities is a sec- ret." He ridiculed German reports (evidently not circulated general I reached 20,000,000, saying that (anyone knows that only 10 to 12 per cent of a nation's population reached 20,000,000, saying can be mobilized for the army. Russia's population, by official estimate in 1940, was 193,000,000.) Lozovsky said the Germans had stopped giving information on I their dead and wounded. "I suggest," he said, "that they create a new category, the 'slight ly killed'." Axis Claims Successes A bulletin from Adolf Hitler's field headquarters acknowledged heavy red army attacks on the Kerch peninsula in the Crimea, but declared they had been re pulsed and that nazi gunners had knocked 82 Russian tanks out of action. In north Africa, British head quarters reported that Britiso troops in the renewed Libyan desert fighting had attacked two axis columns and set tanks on fire. Italy's high command said new clashes between British and axis vanguards resulted again to our complete advantage," and the German communique reported several British armored cars and guns destroyed or captured in the desert warfare. The German account told of continued day and night essaults on bomb-battered Malta, British stronghold in the Mediterranean, which has experienced more than 2,000 air raid alarms. Bad weather hampered British German aerial operations over night. The Germans said that naval artillery shot down three RAF bombers over Helgoland bight and that light nazi bombers bombed a gas works on th? Eng lish south coast. British Plane Carrier Destroyed by Japanese t Continued from page 1) even greater successes in the flaming, intermittent battle which has become perhaps the war's greatest test of seopower versus air power. A Japanese naval communique said that besides the Hermes, a 9,100-ton cruiser of the Birming ham class and a 7,550-ton cruiser of the Emerald class were sunk yesterday off Trincomalee naval station, Ceylon. To this the London admiralty countered: "The Japanese claim to have sunk cruisers off Trincomalee is known to be quite untrue." Yesterday the Japanese claim ed 21 merchant vessels and the lira cruisers had boon sunk in In dian ocean operations up to Tues day, April 7. Today's claim added the Her mes, two cruisers, a destroyer, a patrol vessel and six other hips to the .'apanese list of sinkings, but of 'hese the British confirm ed only that of the Hermes. The Japanese said also that a cruiser of the 7.270-ton Leander class was damaged. Ten Jap Planes Lost The Japanese account of the battle said her forces suffered no damage but lost 10 planes, Tokyo said. The British lost 51 planes over land and sea. The Japanese report indicated Trincomalee was heavily raided. The Hermes was involved deep ly in developing the navy's air arm. She was the first vessel es pecially designed by the admiral- Hold Everything! ! " " - rMiMllSl)b eA.RD CPU W2 IY UFA SfUVICt, INC. T. M. CG U. S. AT.

"It is probable that a large pro portion on the ship's company of H. M. S. Hermes have reached land as she was only about 10 miles off shore when she was sunk," the admiralty said. The British navy, already com mitted to guarctng much of the North Atlantic, as well as the Mediterranean, was spread thinly over eastern waters. Observers said that the Japanese in the past few days had won temporary air and sea control of the Indian ocean, of which the Bay of Bengal is the principal arm. Land Forces Mark Time Pending the issue of the battle of the sea approaches, land forc es on the Burma approach to In dia's eastern frontier appeared to be marking time. British head quarters at New Delhi summed up the situation on the Burma front as of yesterday with, "noth ing to report." The Japanese land forces were only 30 miles from the Yenanma oil fields of Burma. The British, clinging to positions In the Irra waddy river valley on the western end of the Burma line, while the Chinese defended the eastern end, were preparing to burn and blow up the wells upon materialization of the Japanese threat. Public Demand Felt In Need of War Speed 'Continued rrom page 11 studies for mobilization of man power for war industries, the gov ernment was considering volun tary registration for all women 18 to 65 years old. Probably within a week, Mr. Roosevelt asserted, some decision will be reached on how to go about channeling man power in to war jobs. One difficulty in registering women, he asserted at a press conference, is inherent in the number of persons who would come forward to enroll. This would create mechanical difficul ties, he said, remarking that the preparation of cards alcne would be a tremendous task. He said there had been talk of a voluntary registration for wo men on the next registration day for men up to 65, on April 27. If, ind he emphasized the If, It is decided to register women, a date will be set later on.

TEXAS SALON THINKS WAR WON'T END DURING 1942 SULPHUR SPRINGS, Tex., April 10 (API Rep. Sam Ray burn, speaker of the house, said last night the United States now has six times as many soldiers on the battle fronts after four months as General Pershing had after 10 months of the war of 1917-1918, and that production of supplies for these troops was run ning ahead of schedule. But despite this bright picture, the Texas democrat told a unity rally, he did not expect the end of the war in 1942. He sketched this outline of i arms production. ! More than 3,300 planes are pouring out of factories monthly, I well ahead of schedule, tank pro-1 duction is ahead of schedule with I one company alone turning out I an entire trainload daily, and I anti-aircraft gun production is in advance of schedules. ' " " i Production goals in shipping undoubtedly will be met by sum mer or early fall, and Garand rifles are rolling out of factories by the thousands. Enough of vhe latter are available to equip every soldier who needs one. Isolationists Blamed ' Rayburn blamed isolationists H.C, STEARNS Funeral Director . Phone 472 OAKLAND, ORE.
