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.

The Dalies Loses
Defense Plant In
Political Trick
PORTLAND.' 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 ."
Although the deliberations of
apparently would be built instead I the resolutions committee were

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

of his aides who were In the

that sector of his command by
announcing that Japanese artil

The big American guns firinc
from the. Island had registered
telling hits upon enemy troops,
his communique said, and enemy

Elsewhere in the Philippines,
