When the Japs Invaded the Aleutian islands, Olmscheid's ship was at Astoria, and it was dis patched immediately to the Alas kan scene. Kor three months the crew has occupied a remote out post from which the plane has operated in bombing and straf ing Japanese bases and installa tions. Forbidden to report the actual nature of the Aleutian op erations, Olmscheid merely stat ed that the crew with which lie served saw plenty of action and had many narrow escapes ami caused a great deal of damage to the enemy.' Fog Major Handicap The great handicap, ho slated, Is the fog which makes flying ex tremely dangerous and uncertain. Conditions, however, are expected to change soon and hard winds are anticipated which for a lime ordinarily dispel some of the fog. So dense is the log, uimscnciu reported, that for four days after receiving permission to re turn to the mainland for a im Ioul'Ii. the naval plane and its crew remained at the base, not lesiring to make a takeoff when there were no combat duties to make such risk necessary. H"w ever, on tile linn nay ine cn-w decided to wait no longer and limit off for home regardless 01 the danger, making a safe flight to a California base from which the members were permitted to leave for their respective homes. Olmscheid does not expect to return to his duties as radioman. Instead, lie hopes to become a lull fledged pilot and already lias passed the first stage In his ap plication for cadet flight training, lie was recommended by Ids com manding officer for pilot training, and sucessfully negotiated the preliminary physical and aptitude tests, lie will return soon for fur ther examinations. Steel Makers Gloomy Over Salvage Outlook NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (AP) While (he nation's newspapers today sparked enthusiasm for the next three weeks' intensive scrap metal salvage campaign, steel men gave this gloomy warn ing: Unless millions of tons of junk ed iron and steel are soon found, some of their furnaces, which otherwise could be producing all out for war, may have to lie idle. If any householder, reading that tin' mills this year will need more than 115 million tons of scrap, gets the Idea his little 20 or 2I pounds of scrap is a poor contribution, lie is wrong. Those "poor" contributions, multiplied on a nationwide basis, become millions of tons. i !LEnEEOs 50c L. B. Hair Oil 39c 40 L. B. Shampoo .. 43C $1.00 L. B.

Japanese Just didn't want to be left out of an Important battle area. Other observers pointed out 1 that if Japan actually had sent Important naval forces into the Atlantic, she would be unlikely to destroy their surprise value by advertising the fact. The Tokyo communique said; "Part of the Japanese naval forces has advanced to the At lantic and is now engaged in stra tegic operations in close coopera tion with the axis navies. "One Japanese submarine op erating in the Atlantic recently called at a certain German naval base and again set sail for stra tegic waters. "Operations of the Japanese navy in the Atlantic with the German navy, which are parallel to a German naval operation in the Indian ocean, are highly sig nificant as they represent joint Japanese-axis naval operations against the anti-axis powers." British Rule Madagascar Meanwhile, British troops were overrunning French Madagascar to eliminate that 1,000-milo is land, lying off the coast of south east Africa, as a base for axis un derseas raiders preying on the vital allied supply lanes to India, China, Russia and the middle east. In London, the foreign office announced that following the capture of Tananarive, the capi tal, British forces had placed Madagascar under military rule "to insure law and order . . . (lending establishment of a friendly regime." The Vichy French flag will con tinue to fly over the island, it was announced, and the sovereignty of France remains unaffected. Jap Bases Again Bombed In the southwest Pacific. Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquar ters announced that allied war planes pressed home devastating new attacks on Japanese com munication lines in the New Guinea battle zone and pounded enemy bases in New Britain, Ti mor and the Solomon islands. American flying fortresses were officially credited with scori ing a direct hit on an 8,000-ton Japanese cargo ship at Rabaul, New Britain, leaving it in flames. Other allied fliers set Japanese huts afire and strafed the air drome at Kokoda, New Guinea, advance base for Japanese troops driving across the Owen Stanley mountains toward Port Moresby. Gen. MacArthur's communique said there was no change in the general stiuation in the moun tains, where the Japanese have been stalled for 10 days within 32 airline miles of Port Moresby. 2 More Trade Ships Sunk The announced sinkings of two more ships, an American mer chantman and a Panamanian cargo carrier with the loss of five seamen, raised to -175 today the Associated Press tally of an nounced sinkings in the western Atlantic since America's entry in to the war. A total of 98 crewmen of the two ships was rescued and landed safely at United Nations' ports. One seaman was killed in the U boat attack on the Panamanian vessel in the north Atlantic last July while four men were lost when the United States ship was torpedoed in mid-Atlantic last month. I The American Swedish News j Exchange announced that de-1 struction of the 5.2-14-ton Swed-1 ish motor freighter Lima by was so bitter that even the sur render of a house was regarded as a near calamity. City Terrible Sight. As the battle flamed into its second month, amid indications that the German siege armies were beginning to waver, a Rus sian war correspondent pictured Stalingrad as a scene of chaotic wreckage In trembling earth, lit by explosions and heavy with the odors of cordite and death. "On the river beach are tho corpses of women and children killed by German bombs," he wrote. "The Stalingrad water front is a great patch of ruins. "By night, fresh soviet troops cross the river on barges and boats. The wounded are removed the same way." Volga gunboats cruising up and down the river continued to blast the Germans, and in yesterday's operations alone they were credit ed with destroying eight naJ siege guns and a large number of troops. Russian street fighters, attack ing from sand-bagged barricades and fortified houses within the city, were reported to have killed more than 200 Germans and (V- stroyed fivee tanks, .seven anti tank guns and four mortars in a single phase of the gigantic bat tle. Caucasus Drive Intensified. In the central Caucasus, Rus sian headquarters acknowledged that the red armies "withdrew from, a populated place" after wiping out a company of German cavalry, and from this it appear ed that the nazis were stepping up the fury of their drive against the Grozny oil fields, some 50 miles away. Bitter fighting also raged on the Black sea coast, southeast of Novorossisk, where the Russian command said "our troops fought fierce engagements and wip ed out about two companies of enemy infantry." Far to the north, Russian troops were reported to have killed 200 Germans and destroy ed 26 enehiy blockhouses and dug outs in two days of fighting around long-besieged Leningrad. aged a large tanker escorted by destroyers northwest of Tobruk Wednesday night in another at tack on German Marshal Rom mel's overseas supply linesBilt ish headquarters announced to day. : Air activity over the Egyptian battlefront yesterday was on a small scale, the bulletin said, and there was no noteworthy action on the part of opposing land forces. The British acknowledged the loss of one plane, however, and reported the destruction of a German aircraft over Malta. BRITISH LIST LIGHT LOSS IN RUSSIAN-BOUND CONVOY LONDON, Sept. 25. (AP) The British lost the destroyer Somali and the minesweeper Leda in a convoy homeward bound from Russia after getting the great majority" of the laden merchantmen through to soviet northern ports, the admiralty dis closed today in a complete ac count of the sea struggle in the Arctic ocean. '.Against the allied losses, the admiralty announced that 40 Ger man planes were blasted from the sky, two U-boats were de stroyed and four others damaged seriously during the inward and outward passages of the convoy by anti-aircraft fire and carrier borne naval planes. On the outward journey, the admiralty previously had disclos- d that most of tho merchant ships carrying war suplies for Russia had readied their destina tions and that none of the con voying warships had been lost despite na.i air and -U-boat at- acks in the autumn dusk of the Arctic. Kaiser Firm Can House Portland Influx, Aide Says PORTLAND, Sept. 25 (AP) When shipbuilding recruits from the east arrive here, housing facilities will be available for them, Albert Bauer, assistant manager of the Oregon Shipbuild ing corporation, declared today. He said the Kaiser company planned to take care of the work ers "and there is no reason to be lieve that we will fall down on the job now." He made the statement in answer to one by City Com missioner William A. Bowes that workers from the east "will be sleeping in the middle of the streets" if 20,000 arrive as an nounced by the first of the year. Kaiser's New York representa tives have announced recruiting of around 2000 workers already. Sixteen thousand family and dormitory units will be ready by Jan. 1 providing plumbing fix tures, utility connections, and other furnishings are obtained, Bowes said, but at present "to my knowledge there is no pro gram to provide for 20,000 more workmen here." Cecil Gartrell, chairman of the Portland housing authority, said he understood Ralph Collett, di rector of housing and transporta tion for the Kaiser yards here, is in Washington, D. C, presumably to arrange for more housing. Gartrell, insisted, however, it would be impossible to provide additional dormitories or houses before 60 days, even if approved immediately in Washington. Railway Crash Dead Believed to Total 20 DICKERSON, Md., Sept. 25. (AP) Railroad officials and state police today sought to Iden tify 12 bodies removed from the charred and twisted wreckage of three trains whose collision was believed to have cost the lives of at least 20 persons. Wreck crews worked through out the night to pull apart the last pieces of the Pullman car in which most of the victims died when fire followed the crash of two passenger trains and a fast freight. Railroad officials said they still had not accounted for eight persons. CAIRO, Sept. 25. (AP) Brit ish torpedo-carrying aircraft dam- Veterans, Attention Lyle Dailey, National Serv ice Officer, D. A. V., will be in Roseburg at Young's Real Estate Office all after noon Saturday. He will be glad to assist any veteran of any war with problems relative to service claims. ERWIN SHORT, Com. D. A. V. Compromise May End Farm Parity Battle y WASHINGTON, Sept. 25. (AP) Democratic Leader Bark ley said today that an effort to compromise the fight over farm parity prices in the administra tion's anti-inflation bill rapidly was gaining support in the sen ate. At the start of the fifth day ot debate, Barkley said that "many senators" who previously had been backing an amendment by Senators Thomas (D.-Oklu.) and Hatch D.- N. M.) to revise tho basis of partly upward had In formed him they would vote for a substiuto proposal directing President Roosevelt to 'lift farm price ceilings where they did not reflect to producers the increased costs of labor and other items. The latter amendment would avoid any change in the method of computing parity. President Roosevelt has said that he was "unalterably opposed" to chang ing this standard. A v I ntnw' 3& .... i H. C.
