ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG. OREGON, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1942.
Oregon War Bond
Sales High Despite
Tax Obligations
Citizens of Oregon, in spile of
the fact that heavy income tax
payments were "just around the
corner," purchased a total of
84,383,483 worth of scries "E" war
savings bonds during February,
it was announced by Kay Conway,
state administrator. Figures for
February, which do not include
purchases of "F" or "G bonds,
ure the latest available.
Sales for February, which is al
so a short business month, bring
the total for the stale since the
promotional campaign was
launched last July, to $22,2G0,ti44.
January broke all records with a
total of $6,713,682, but this figure
was swelled by many purchasers
who bought their limit of $5,000
face value for the year, it Is
pointed out. December, the "war"
month, totalled $3,712,921.00.
Of the total, Douglas county
sales accounted for 1.55 percent,
or $346,111. Sales In February
were $98,936. Promotion of bond
sales in Douglas county is under
Ihe direction of Harry O. Par
geter, county chairman.
Credit To Campaign
War bond sales in Oregon in
February, a short business month,
reached a high total largely be
cause of the work done by volun
teer workers under the direction
of county committees on the
pledge campaign and on pay roll
savings purchase plans, Mr. Con
way stated. Necessity of raisin;;
funds for the nation's war pro
gram was brought to the atten-!

LAVAL MAY STRIKE AT
FREE FRENCH CONTROL
WASHINGTON, April 18.
(AP) Informed sources express
ed fears today that Vichy Pre
mier Laval might launch a mili
tary campaign to wrest Syria or
French Equatorial Africa vital
link In the American bomber
ferry lino to the middle east
from the Free French.
The collaborationist premier
was thought to be considering
some such gamble with French
armies and warships to get the
jump on opponents within
France, who already were report
ed planning to unseat him. Re
liable informants said Laval was
now prepared to go the limit In
forcing the French people to col
laborate with the nazis.
Vital "If" for Allies.
If Vichy warships and troops
attack Free French Syria and
Equatorial Africa, It was pointed
out, the allies would have to di
vert strength from other fronts
to defend these strategic areas.
Thus Laval would help the Ger
mans almost as much as If he
gave them the French fleet, per
haps avoiding some of the chance
of revolt which might accompany
such action.
An authoritative source said
that Hitler exerted tremendous
pressure to nut Laval into the ore-
I miership, even threatening Mar
shal Petain with complete occupa
tion of France. This pressure
was not brought to bear because
of any confidence in Laval's abil
ity to maintain himself in power,
the source said, but rather as a
test of strength between Berlin
and Washington.
