t tit ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, R6SE6UR6, 0RE66N, TUESDAY, APRIL 21,1 942. First Aid Course Greatly Expanded By Defense Duty Development Under Civilian Program Recited by Aide Of Douglas Red Cross The civilian defense program has resulted In a tremendous In crease In first aid Instruction, ac cording to Ray Parslow, chair man of first aid instruction for the Douglas county chapter of the American Red Cross. From January to April of this year, 18 standard first aid classes of 20 or more hours each; three advance classes of 10 hours each; three Junior classes and four 10-hour courses have been conducted by 21 Instructors. Thirteen of the classes were held In Roseburg. Many have been completed and new groups are being formed as rapidly as they can be arranged. During 1941 there were 19 classes completed and one class held for Instructors. Twenty-five classes were In progress at the close of the year. Previous to October, 1940, Mr. Parslow reports, there were only three active Red Cross first aid instructors In the county. A class for instructors was started in Oc tober of that year, Increasing the number to five. A similar class was held In 1941 adding 17 who successfully passed the examina tion, making a corps of 22. Defense Needs Heeded During the early part of 1941, emphasis was placed on the ex pansion of the highway first aid system, mobile units and first aid detachments. The organization of civilian defense work, however, later in the year completely changed the program, which was Immediately developed to train workers In defense units. The program was badlv handi capped by the shortage of in structors and much personal sac rifice was called for on the part of those In charge of classes who were forced to travel lone; dis tances and give up a groat deal of time, Including Sundays. A class for instructors was com pleted in March of this year, bringing the available instructor personnel to a total of 44, thus relieving the situation to a mark ed degree. Mr. Parslow, In reporting the progress of (lie first aid program, spoke in appreciation of the Wo men's Motor corns, which, he re ports, provided transportation for the instructors without compen sation, other than gasoline and oil. The women of the corps, he reports, used their own cars in transporting instructors to and from classes, piling up several thousands of miles even after tire rationing became effective.

April 21- AP) -- The Washington correspondent of the Oregonian reported today that a $3,000,000 phosphorus plant, tentatively located at The Dalles, referred to the fact that In the committee's final declaration there was no such phraseology as Wlllkie used in point 3 of the pro posed statement he submitted to the committee. Wlllkie's point 3 contained ;i:e recommendation that the party resolve "to undertake now and in I he future whatever lust and reas onable International responsible ties may be demanded In a mod ern world ."

Each contribution will be sent to the federal treasury depart ment, earmarked for a clip of bullets. Directing the campaign is K. Sclbor, brother of a former premier of Poland. at Mobile, Ala, The newspapers' dispatch said that war department favored ihe Dalles site, because It had an idle 35,000 kilowatt Bonneville power line and was relatively clos? lo phosphate sources in Idaho and Montana. But representatives from ihe south inserted in independent of fices bill an appropriation for the plant, to bo built in the south. Then the senate passed tiie sixth deficiency bill and members of the Oregon delegation discovered, too late, that the appropriation nau Deen lifted trom ihe house approved independent offices bill and inserted in the deficiency bill. parliamentarians now must de cide whether the appropriation is legal, having passed the house in one bill and the senate in anoth- executive, reporters gained the impression that one of the princi pal points of debate was Willkic's phrase "ju.;t and reasonable in ternational responsibilities." Fur thermore, the resolution as adopt ed by the national committee no where contained the word "isola tionism," whereas Wlllkie had ad vocated a direct repudiation of iso- unionism. British threat Is hanging over the merman high command In the west and that hopes are not bright among German officers for a big spring offensive. This captive was said to have borne out previous Russian asser tions that Hitler's projected spring drive Is now a projected summer offensive. Thousands of encircled German troops have not j been allowed to have a day of rest, ne oeeiared. Eugene Varga, director of the international institute of econom ics and politics, declared In Prav da that the main force of the German army no longer Is youth but reservists over 30 with fami lies, an assertion that is borne out by the prisoners which foreign correspondents have seen. Nazis Claim Big Sea Toll, Sea warfare A Berlin radio broadcast asserted that more than 2,000,000 tons of shipping had been sunk by axis submarines op erating off the American Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the last three months. (Note: This fig ure is far in excess of losses dis closed by the United States.) The broadcast said that 1,772,- 900 tons of British and" American ships had been sunk off the At lantic seaboard between January 15 and April 14, and that Japan ese underseas raiders In the same period had sunk 22 ships off the Pacific coast. Vichy crisis Admiral Jean Darlan, commander of all France's armed forces, told his fighting men that "you can rely on me as I rely on you to pro ceed further along the path of honor and to defend the empire." With this enigmatic expression, Darlan left open the all-impor- tant question of how far the "path of honor" would lead to ward active military aid to Ger-jTl many, now that the new pro-nazl premier, Pierre Laval, has pledg ed the conquered republic to soli, tarity with the releh.

Corregldor Not Subdued Gen. Douglas MacArthur sig nalized the establishment of his new southwestern Pacific head quarters and completion of his staff today by issuing his first daily communique which embrac ed operations in the Philippines, Liutcn fcast Indies and Australia. Willi a staff composed largely of his aides who were In the Philippines, he also highlighted the attention he is devoting to that sector of his command by announcing that Japanese artil lery firing upon Corrcgidor fort ress In Manila bay was abating. The big American guns firinc from the. Island had registered telling hits upon enemy troops, his communique said, and enemy shelling and bombing was hav lug negligible effect. Elsewhere in the Philippines, it was announced that American Filipino forces were continuing their aggressive patrol action against the Japanese occupying a fringe of Mindanao Island, and that the Japanese had not yet been able lo overcome the de fenders In Ccbu and Panay is lands.
