SI KftEBURS WEWS-REVIEW, rOSEBUrS, ORESON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 15,1942; : Weather, Labor Shortage Damage Crop Prospects PORTLAND, July 15 (AP) Rain, heat, tire and the labor shortage combined to damage Oregon crop prospects last week, the U. S. department of commerce weather-crop survey reported. Rain or hot weather damaged cherries in Benton and Linn co unties, berries and apples in Mar lon county, apples in WoodRiver county, cherries and other fruits in Wasco county and loganberries in Douglas county. j Range fires caused widespread loss In Baker and Malheur count ies. Lack of farm labor was respons ible for loss of part of Jackson county's cherry crop and delayed the hay harvest In Wasco and sev eral other counties. Winter wheat not ; previously damaged by heat was filling well and spring wheat was progress-.

Weather was favorable for corn. "r.jr BUT NOT YOUR TASTE!

Town Talk that he was studying English, after be ing brought hero from Pearl har bor where he was taken from a pint-sized submarine December 7. Questions and answers were written, and some he declined to answer. "We might as well forgot these," said Col. Dunn. The pris oner smiled, wrote that he was captured at Pearl harbor. Com panions In the sub, possibly two, perished In the attack. He said he had no complaint as to treat ment. Others also expressed satisfac tion. A former importer and ex porter answered "yes to every question when asked about modi' cal attention, If his barracks were comfortable, If food was satisfac tory, If he was well-treated. Ex cept for broad grins, most of them paid little heed to the two reporters as they prepared to eat rice, ham, potatoes, fresh beans and dessert of ox-heart cherries. Attendants said they requested rice three times daily, fish often. Ralph Brewer and Hunter Jar- roau, of the Alexandria paper, toured ten compounds of the camp at invitation of Col. Dunn. Not one shot has been fired, contrary to (propaganda) re ports," said Col. Dunn. "Not one Japanese has made an attempt to escape. You write what you see and near, and If the news gets back to Japan, maybe it will help. You know the Japanese hold American soldiers and civilian prisoners.

Oak tleline of southern Russia, report' lng further-severance of Russian communications; Second Front Urged Qualified source at London said, that Russia was pressing anew through her ambassador to Britain for the prompt opening of a United States-British land front in the west to dilute the potency of the German drive to the east; Britain, the United States and Russia recentlv reached air under. at 'siuuuuig uii nit; uigi-jn-y ul a seconu jium in xvt, uui ueyuna that vague announcement no of ficial disclosures have been made. Unofficially elaborating on this theme, a , London Informant whose name could not be used said: "All preparations for opening a second front are under way and the objective is a front which will be permanent, not only a large hit and run raid." According to military sources In London, likewise insisting on anonymity, the situation In south ern Russia has not necessarily reached a point where an American-British invasion of the con tinent is essential to save Rus sia's armies. The Russians have been speak ing recurrently of German nu merical superiority in sectors chosen by the Hitler command for its offensive, but have given no Indication of tapping exten sively as yet their own supposed ly vast reserves. Rommel's Army Halted Any diversion in the Mediter ranean zone seems to have been postponed, to say the least, for the allies now may be necessar ily content to stabilize the outly ing defense of Alexandria. Mar shal Rommel's forces have not lost their punch but they have been stopped before El Alamein, 70 miles west of Alexandria, for more than two weeks. Axis tanks and infantry launch ed a third attack on the British- held height, Tel El Eisa (Hill of Jesus), at dusk yesterday, British headquarters announced, and the battle lasted into the night. The RAF, still playing a promi nent role In the defense, assailed the enemy both at the front and at Tobruk, Rommel's main port of entry for supplies In Libya. Pa trols and maneuvering desert col umns clashed along the whole line between El Alamein, at the Mediterranean shore, and the Im passable Qattara depression, some 30 miles inland. Air Battle at Malta The Italian communique said that strong onemy patrols were attacked on the southern wing of the El Alamein front and "re pulsed eastward" and claimed 13 more British planes were downed in Africa and four at Malta. . " The British said their own losses were three planes, includ ing both African and Malta opera tions, and that seven axis planes were downed, three at Malta. ., British air raids last night on the Italian island of Sicily and on tne Calabria region of Italy prop I er were announced by Rome. ! The London admiralty mean j while credited light naval forces j with destruction of a heavily ; escorted German tanker off Cher bourg, France, this morning, and ! damage to two escorting trawlers. !

Rep. Treadway of Massachu chusetts, - ranking republican member of the house ways and means committee, announced to day he planned to vote to send $6,144,000,000 revenue bill back to the committee for revision of proposed corporation taxes, i Joining ' Rep. . Knutson (R., Minn.) In an attack on corporate rates proposed In the bill, Tread way said in a minority report ac companying the big ,. bill to the floor: 'It is a short-sighted policy which taxes business out of ex istence so that it can not con tinua to pay taxes to the govern ment, maintain employment and sustain the communities where in It Is carried on." I Treadway and Knutson both ex pressed opposition to the propos ed combined 45 per cent normal ana surtax and the 874 per cent- excess profits rate. Knutson, say ing the proposed rates were "ar rived at through a series of trades and shameless logrolling; said he preferred rates of 40 and 94 per cent, while Treadway said: "The committee bill, In Its pres ent form, places too much of burden on normal profits, and not enough on excess profits." Treadway said, too, that the re ductions of personal exemptions for married couples from $1,500 to $1,200 and from $750 to $500 for single persons were too se vere. Rep. Dlngell (D., Mich.), in still another minority report, agreed with Treadway on this point, saying the levels were "un fair and unjust" because they af fected an "element of the people least able to bear the load."

Those battles, victories for the United States, resulted from Jap anese moves, first, for a new In vasion In the Australian theater and, secondly, an attempt to In vade the Hawaiian Islands. The Japanese probably will keep their big ships close to home and incidentally, handy for sup porting any attack on Russia until readjustments have been made for the losses undergone, particularly In aircraft carriers. Japanese Base Raided In the theaters of active war in the far Pacific, the MacArthur headquarters in Australia report ed a new bomb raid yesterday on the Japanese airport at Salamaua, New Guinea, and the Chinese ac knowledged that the Japanese had captured Wenchow, an im portant port of Southern Chek- iang province. The Chinese, thus confirming a Japanese announcement of last Saturday, said that tne attacKers were Impelled by fear that the port would become an allied air or naval base. " - . The spokesman pledged that with Increasing air support the Chinese would intensify their counter-attacks, and thus prevent transfer of any Japanese forces from China to other areas. The main Japanese offensive now has cut a swath down ttcross Cheklang from Hangchow to the sea at Wenchow and another from Hangchow south and south westward in a junction with Jap anese troops in adjacent Kiangsi province.
