. Crisis In India
THE monsoon season is ending
in India. Japanese armies,
poised on the border, are ready to
' spring Into action. They count up
on the anil-British disturbances,
which are worse than censorship
has told us, to expedite their con
quest of that rich land.
To the Japanese, anxious to
bring all of the east under their
rule, India would be a prize hard
ly second to China. Many of us do
not realize that, In addition to
the natural resources of which we
know, India has become the
eighth Industrial country of the
world. .
' To the United Nations, already
under terrific handicaps In our
attempt to preserve democracy,
the loss of India would be another
awful blow.
Unless some settlement of the
British-Indian controversy is
worked out soon- If, Indeed, it is
not already too late the lask of
saving India will be well nigh
Impossible.
On principle, Americans sym
Dathlze with the Indians and feel
' that they are entitled to their
freedom. If India falls, because
that freedom has not been grant
rd, there will be an eruption of
violent criticism of the British.;
Before that happens, If It must,
let us have in mind certain facts
ivhlch, while they do not excuse
British pre-war errors, arc very
pertinent now.
Most Important Is this: What
ever was true before the war.
Great Britain can not turn India
loose now.
India is not a nation, as we
think of nations, nor are Indians
a race. There is no unanimity on
any single matter.
There are 562 Indian stales,
the largest with hi million citi
zens. There are 24 languages,
each sgxikcn by as many as a
million Indians.
1'wo Indians out of three are
Hindus. One out of four Is a
Moslem. The two hate each other
with an all-consuming haired.
While the Hindus greatly out
number the Moslems, the latter
. are better fighters, anil could pro
long civil war for years.
The Hindus Insist upon free
4 dom of India as an entity. Thus
they would rule the Moslems by
force of numlMTs. The Moslems
insist upon a separate stale, and
Will fight for It.
There Is no way m which Brit
ain now can turn India loose
without provoking a war between
these two major factions.
Presumably Washington lias
been exploring every possibility
to find some compromise which
would Induce the Indians to de
fer settlements of this problem
until after Japan has been beaten.
If such efforts fail, let's not be
too hard on the British.

unci
THEltE is no oil at Stalingrad.
The oil is in the Caucasus -most
of it south of the Caucasus
range. Only IS per cent of the
Russian supply is In the two
fields north of the mountains.
Presumably a determined ef
fort will be made to hold Ihe
great Baku fields to the south.
Churchill told us a while back
shout the British tenth army in
Iran and Iraq w hich might have
(o support the Russians.
V'our map will indicate thai
this army can be moved up (if it
hasn't been already) to supirart
the Russian forces in the extreme
southern Caucasus.
In that event, the hoe will be
to hold Hitler off for the winter.
50 far as news teaciiin;,' the
world Is concerned, the Rus-
sians are fighting to the death,
taking their losses at Stalingrad
und saying nothing.
BEHIND THE SCENES, you
may be quite sure they have been
bringing all the pressure they
know how to bring on us and the
British to start a second front
and take some of the killing Ger
man weight off their necks.
The fact that we haven't start
ed a second front is the best pos
sible proof that we simply aren't
prepared to do It this year with
out running risks too great to be
taken.
There Is no lack of DESIRE on
our part. We know what the
losses taken by the Russians
mean. But it wiuld be no service
to Russia to start something we
aren't prepared to finish.
That must be the explanation
of our failure to start a diver
sion. THE situation In New Guinea re
mains bad.
The Japs have advanced anoth
er eight miles toward Port Mores
by, bringing them within 32
miles of this important outpost.
They are reported to have been
strongly reinforced during the
past week and are apparently de
termined to take Port Moresby.
IN the Solomons they are slill j'O
ing after Guadalcanal Island
and its important airfield.
American fliers along with the
marines on the ground, are re
ported to have beaten off a third
attempt to take Guadalcanal. Two
Jap cruisers have been hit with
bombs and aerial torpedoes of
Choiseul island, some 200 miles
north of Guadalcanal.
AMERICAN planes, attacking
the Japs at Kiska, sink two
enemy minesweepers, damage
three big cargo ships and several
smaller craft, kill or wound an
estimated 500 Japs, shoot down
six Jap planes and set fire to
WAREHOUSES AND SUPPLY
DUMPS.
It sounds encouraging. But
oon 1 overiooK tne i.-ici. inmcaiea
by the losses inflicted, that the j
Japs have been accumulating I
considerable forces at Kiska.
Note the presence of mine
sweepers, which must have been
brought there for offensive use
against American mine fields.
Note the presence of warehouses
and supply dumps.
All these things point to the
cnniittsUin that the Japs are get
ting quite a toehold In Ihe Aleu
tians. KRNR

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept.
21. No surprise to army and
navy officers was the dropping of
an Incendiary bomb by a Japa
nese airman in the forest 6f
Curry county, Ore. Since Pearl
Harbor high military officals
have repeatedly declared lhat Ihe
pacific coast is In danger of such
an attack. They do not anticipate
an invasion, hut they have held
lhe belief that eventually the
enemy would attack the forests,
and later mililary objectives such
as war Industries. It Is their opin
ion that the lire bomb unloaded
near the sawmill town of Brook
ings is only Ihe first of a series of
appearances which Ihe Japanese
will make. (
One result of the visit1 of Ihe
enemy airplane has been lo in
crease the alertness of the volun
teer observers along Ihe coast of
th Pacific northwest from Cres
cent City to British Columbia
and to add to Ihe vigilance of
watchers in the lookout stations
in the forested area. Roorts here
are that the network of observ
ers is so numerous that no plane,
enemy or otherwise, can come In
from the sea without its presence
being reported regardless of the
weather. There are needed, how
ever, additional volunteers to
watch the sea and sky.
ft is assumed that the subma
rine which mothered the flying
boat is one of the latest of the
Japanese fleet. There has been an
understanding that the Japanese
had evolved a submarine carrying
a small hydroplane that could
either be catapulted from the
deck or launched from the side
on a smooth sea. This is the type
of sub that was the target of an
army plane oft the Oregon coast.
Jap Subs Eluslvo
How many Japanese subma
rines have been browsing off the
west coast, to the knowledge of
Ihe army or navy, is a military
secret, but the general public has
been advised of tour lone off
California, two off Oregon and
one off Vancouver island) and
Ihe public has also been told of
submarines which have sunk at
least two ships off the strait of
Juan de Fuca ami of a British
flag merchantman which limped
Into Vancouver, B. C, after an en
counter with an enemy underwa
ter craft. In Alaskan and Aleu
tian waters the enemy has oper
aled these boats but with what
success if any is also a mili
lary secret. So far as known, on
ly one submarine has lieen shot

at in the northwest and that was
the hydroplane carrying craft
that was bombed near Brookings
with no known results. The sub
marine that shot at a radio sta
tion at Estevan point and the one
that attempted to shell Fort Stev
ens disappeared without even-ja
,22 bullet being fired at them.
The Japanese aviator over the j
Siskiyou national forest has set
tled once for all the contention of
senators and representatives of
the northwest that the enemy
will seek to destroy the forests
with Incendiary bombs. It has
hapiwned once and will, It is be
lieved, be repeated. Eastern con
gressmen regarded the forests of
the Pacific northwest as some
thing as remote as China and
were loath to appropriate a few
million dollars for fire protection.
This attitude may now change.
Spruce Te Be Logged
With' $3,000,000 advanced by a
government agency a midwest
citizen has left for Alaska to get
out spruce. To loggers and Urn
bermen he has met he admitted
lhat he came from a flat country
where there are no trees and that
he knows nothing of the business,
but expects to build up an organi
zation when he arrives in Alaska.
Among other Items of equipment
which he says he has is a 62-ton
yarder, which would be about the
right size for Paul Bunyon, Ow
ing to the rainy season, this mid
westerner may not be able to
snake out the trees before late
next spring. Although the Pacific
northwest is saturated with ex
eriencecl loggers, they have been
passed over and the job has been
placed In the hands of a tyro.
The S3.000.000 would more than
solve the spruce situation for sev- j
era I dozen camps in Washington
and Oregon by making possible
the construction of roads Into the
woods.

Football Practice
Hits Fu9 Tempo
At Roseburg High
Football practice at Roseburg
high school is receiving much at
tention as Coach Jim Davis Is
working to whip a team into
shape to meet the Recdsport War
riors in the season's opener,
which ts only nine days away.
Lacking experienced men in the
line, Davis is struggling to drill
fundamentals Into new recruits
hi time to make a presentable
showing against the coast team,
which, although K has dropped
out of the Lane-Douglas league,
is nevertheless reported to be a
strong aggregation.
To speed up mastery of funda
mentals. Coach Davis has sche
duled two practice sessions' dally
during this week. Drills win oe
held at 10 a. ml and 7 p. m. Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, Da
vis reported today. The squad
has been going through funda
mental blocking - and tackling
drills on dummies so far in the
training period, but wns schedul
ed for contact drill today and a
scrimmage session Tuesday.
Tackle Talent Needed.
The big problem this season,
Davis reports, is to find replace
ments for the tackle positions.
At the close of last season it ap
peared that the tackle spots
would be well plugged with four
veterans, but all have been lost
by removal or ineligibility and it
now is necessary to find replace
ments. ,
Bob Krell, sophomore, who was
a member of last year s squad, is
one of three prospects, the others
being George Marstcrs, a trans
fer, who is showing much prom
ise, and Roy Knigge, a member
of last year's squad, who, despite
a lack of weight, is making a
good showing.
The backfleld prospects are
good, Insofar as the starting line
up is concerned, with Bert Young,
Lee Wimberly, Jack Calkins and
Jack Weaver, all lettermcn, back
this year. Reserve strength is a
problem in both the line and back
field. The return of Harold Cacy
from summer work is expected to
bolster the halfback situation.
Bob Harrison and Bill Fulps also
are showin? iro well In m-acrlce
and are expected to be likely can
cildates for backfleld reserves.
Sacramento Wins
Coast League Hag
By Single Game
(By the Associated Press)
Pepper Martin, who pitched
and won his first professional
baseball game despite a case of
poison ivy and a sprained ankle,
didn't work any harder that day
in Oklahoma than he did yester
day In directing Sacramento to
its first Pacific coast league
championship.
Las Angeics tea tne senators
by two games as the teams open
ed a seven game series here last
Tuesday. Immediately Sacra
mento, which three times missed
pennants by hair's breadth mar
gins, dropped the first two games.
That meant the team had to take
every one of the last five con
testswhich it did.
Martin's crew, some rookies
and some veterans from the ma
jors, snatched the first game of
a doubleheader from Los Angeles
yesterday In the eighth inning
with home runs by Centcrfielcler
Adams and Catcher Mueller. Both
are National league veterans.
Then FreitaS, who has worked
for both the Athletics and the
Cincinnati Reds, hurled a four
hit second game victory, 5 to 1,
which was never in doubt after
two Solon runs in the first in
ning. The 1942 championship comes
to Sacramento after flirting with
the state capital club through 14
years. In 1928 the team tied with
the San Francisco team but lost
in the playoff. In 1937, the year
that post-season playoffs deter
mined the championship, the
Scnaotrs ended the regular sche
dule in first place by a fourgame
margin.
By 19-10 the year before Mar
tin came, the team had lost its
spark and finished down in fifth
place. Last year Pepper kept it
on top of the standings for 25
weeks, but in the final seven days
the remainder of what was once
a 16 game lead to Seattle had dis
appcarcd. Started in Cellar.
This year the Solons lost 14 of
their first 20 contests to repose
in last place. Then they took the
lead away from Los Angeles on
June 15, only to lose it a month
later, July 16. After that they
stayed in second place until yes
terdaythe day that counted.
Sacramento beat Los Angeles
Saturday 6 to 5. Other games
Saturday saw San Francisco best
San Diego 6-3. Portland take a
doubleheader from Hollywood
j 6-3 and 8 5. and Seattle down Oak
land twice 2-1 and 4 3.
Yesterday San Diego nailed
down its upper division fourth
place spot by taking the single
game it needed from San Fran
Cisco to avert a tie. and an extra
one for good measure. The scores
were 12-4 and 1-0, and left San
Francisco behind the Padres by
three games.
Elsewhere Oakland twice de
feated Seattle 4 0 and 10-5, while
Hollywood split with Portland.
The Stars won the first game 1-0
and the Beavers trlumped 7-5 in
the nightcap.
Playoffs Now Slated.
The league's Shaughnessy play
offs begin tomorrow with Seattle
meeting Sacramento. The Raln
lers have agreed to play all of the
contests on the Senators' nome
grounds because of transportation
problems. The other two teams
in the president's cup scries, the
Angels and San Diego, meet at
Los Angeles Wednesday. Three
of the seven games will be play
ed in San Diego.

own or five defeats for the Brook
lyn uougers.
Since the Cardinals have six
oarrwvt left to nljiv that
fhey can lose one of them and still
win even though the Dodgers cap
ture an seven 01 ineir remaining
tussles.
The best Brooklyn could do
against the futile Phils yesterday
was halve a doubleheader and all A
that saved them from winding up "
even deeper In the rut than their
present 21 games was a great
pitching performance by Passeau v
The ace of the Chicago Cubs
pitched a five-hit 3-0 shutout
against the Cards In the second
game of a doubleheader for his
13lh vletnrv aflnr th rn,rilnni.i
Cboper had given the Cubs a four-
iiii i-u wnuewasning.
Cooper's feat came in an air
tight duel with his former team-
male, warnene, who scattered
seven safeties but wn rifu
on a double steal which brought
nopp nome in tne iourth Inning.
This was the 100th triumph for
the Cardinals and Cooper's 21st.
Brooklyn was beaten in the
first game 7-3 and the defeat was
all the more humiliating because
Wyatt, the Dodgers' No. 1 star,
was knocked out in less than four c
Innings. Credit for the victory i)
went to Hughes.
Newsom, self-styled pennant in
surance for the Dodgers, pitched
six-hit ball to win the nightcap 4-2
and kept Brooklyn's pennant
hopes from dying.

In the American league the
New York Yankees beat the Bos
ton Red Sox 2-1 and then lost 3-2
in eight innings when darkness
halted play.
The Philadelphia Athletics clos- ''
ed their season a week ahead of
time, by a quirk of the schedule
but no doubt to the relief of all
concerned. Washington beat the
A's in the first game 11-9 with a
seven-run rally in the ninth, and
Philadelphia salvaged the night
cap 21 with the help of four Sen
ator errors.
Harder nitched a twn.hlt o.n
shutout against the Detroit Tigers
but the Cleveland Indians dropped
ino secona session 6-3. The CMU

of four errors by the St. Louis
Browns to win their first game
