SIX R0SE6URS- NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1942. Britons Eager To Mop Up on Nazis, Analyst Observes Civilian Spirit of Offensive Found Everywhere; Nation is Posed for 2nd Front Signal J By DcWITT MacKENZIE ; (Wide World War Analyst) ' LONDON. Sept. 30. The most Important thing your correspon dent can report from his initial glance at this wartime Britain is that John Bull and his wife and youngsters that is, the civil ian rank and file not only are amazingly fit but grimly anxious to get speedily ahead with the bloody task before them. ; The spirit of offensive is every where. At the risk of being called fan ciful, I'm going to confess to be ing mightily impressed during the short time I've been here by an odd circumstance: 1 haven't seen a single fat, or even plump, per son. Now, that is a matter of Im portance when you figure out why it is so, for while Britons as a whole don't run to avoirdu , pois, there always have been plenty of stout persons about, and the traditional John Bull is ample of waist. I don't mean to picture n peo plegaunt from hunger. They're well enough fed, though on pret ty tight rations, but we have here . a whole population which by the exigencies of war has trained down to the fineness of athletes. Along with this there's another thing which gives pause for thought. I get the Impression the people have reached the point where there might be a danger of overtraining. They have been so long set, tensely waiting for the word to go get Hitler, that they are beginning to suffer a bit from the strain like a runner who is posed for n tardy-starting run. That is a condition which can ' only be cured when the allies are ready for all-out offensive action. In their hearts, the iirillsh peo ple already have started the big drive to finish off Hitler. They ore as eager as anyone else to slash through any possible de lays. You begin to understand this when you know that here in Brit ain every man, woman and child Is a soldier. They've only one Ideato beat the enemy. They've reached the point where their money and other possessions of price don't mean much any more.

(API President Roosevelt asked congress today for 2,862,000,000 additional funds now for the navy to construct airplanes which the budget bureau said were neces sary for "the prosecution of the war." The request, bringing to S5,593, 154,308 the extra funds sought for the navy within the last two weeks, was among the nine esti mates for additional funds the president requested for various departments. The total request ed today was approximately $3, 4(10,000,000. The others included $000,000,- (W0 for war housing and, $43,000,- 000 for the treasury department. I he navy request, which the house appropriations committee arranged to give Immediate con sideration for inclusion In a defi ciency bill expected to be sent to the floor next week, would In crease to $20,000,000,000 the to tal cash supplied the sea service for the fiscal year ending next June 30. Included in the additional funds the president requested on Sep tember 21 was $100,000,000 lor arming merchant ships. Party Leaders Voice Claims on Next House (Continued from page 1.) capture more than 50 democrats' scats and not lose any of their own to organize the next house). Net Gain Predicted Johnson said there were about 40 democrats and as many repub lican Incumbents who won in HMO by a margin of 500 votes or less. "Those seats are all In the doubtful territory," he said. "Wo may lose some, but we hope to gain at least as many as we lose. We probably will lose a few along the eastern seaboard, but make Ihem up in the west." The Ok la human said he be lieved It likely his parly would gain as many as five additional members from California, whose present delegation Is now made up of nine democrats and nine re publicans with two vacant seats formerly held by democrats. Press Control Threat Seen Gannett, publisher of a Roches ter,' N. V., newspaper, said free dom of the press was being threat ened and that Important news was being "huld back needlessly." "I maintain that to win this war, we must keep t he people in formed and thus strengthen their morale," he declared, adding that for a long time there had been "a deliberate plan by the admin istration to smear, weaken anil destroy our newspapers because they have dared to criticise new dealism." "The radio," he continued, "is under control because It is li censed. Freedom of speech over the air is being increasingly re stricted. The next step Is to con trol the press. "The pending stilt against the Associated Press has this object ive. If the A. P. can be made a public utility then there will be removed the last barrier In the way of putting all wire service under some government commis sion. Then government control tightens and freedom of the press perishes. "Already, 1 am sorry to say. it Is fast disappearing under the pretext that war demands con trol." Compromise Ends Parity Price Fight (Continued from page 1.) future increases, which occurred after the bill was signed, could be considered under its terms. wm AMONG AMERICA'S GREAT WHISKIES ' i?? mW- (7jj c & Nslioml Di.nllrm Products CorM)rlion, New York ' 80.8 proof Dieppe Raid Cost Half of Attackers, Churchill Admits LONDON, Sept. 30. (AP)-J-The ullled invasion test at Dieppe met tank barriers of unforeseen strength and the attackers' losses were "very nearly half the total" of the troops Involved, Prime Minister Churchill said, in the house of commons today. As at the first meeting of the reconvened house yesterday, when the prime minister empha sized the undeslrability of specu lation on the time and place of a second front, his reports were In answer to a battery of question ers. , Churchill said the military force commander at Dieppe had described the support given by the RAF for the operations there as "faultless." The RAF fought the greatest air battle of all time over the coastal town, destroying nearly 100 German planes for certain and possibly bringing down many more, Churchill said. Nazi Bomb Slays 22. Twenty boys and two teachers, including Miss Charlotte Mar shall, 27-yearold head mistress, were known dead and rescue workers toiled on today in the belief others might be burled in the debris of a boys' school in southern England which was wrecked yesterday by a heavy German bomb. Eighteen other boys were reported missing. Tin? blast injured 34 boys. The victims were among about 70 stu dents in the wood and brick build ing when the naz.1 plane attacked. Hoys who escaped told police the bomb which destroyed the school fell into the fireplace and did not explode immediately. Miss Marshall shouted to the boys to run . Those who did so escaped, but the teacher stayed behind. Yankees, Cardinals Open World Series (Continued from page 1.) best against the resplendent Yan kees. Which might, or might not, be significant. Choice of Ruffing Surprises. There was, to tell the truth, an agreeable surprise in St. Louis last night when the word arriv ed that Ruffing had been named by Manager Joe McCarthy to hurl the first game for the Yanks. For some olwcure reason, the locals decided the Cards were getting a big break in facing an old-timer like Ruffing In the first heat. They suggested, actu ally, that McCarthy was "con ceding" the opener to the Car dinals. He realized, they said, that he couldn't lick Coop er, so lie was sacrificing Ruffing. Wait! Joe McCarthy does not play baseball that way. If Mc Carthy did not think that Rut flng, old as he is, had the best chance of trouncing the Cardi nals today, he would have nomi nated the biggest winner on his staff, Ernie Bonham, to toss his fork ball al the Cardinals. The Cardinals had thought they would lace Ilonham, winner of 21 games this year, in today's starter. Last team to conquer the Yan kees In a world series was the Cardinals of ltrjti, who had an out fielder named Billy .South worth, now the -111 year-old mana ger of the current Cardinals. Since then, the Yankees have won eight world championships, defeating every team In the Na tional league with the exception of Boston and the Phils. They have registered 31 triumphs, tak ing four series In four straight. St. I-ouis fans loyal to the Car dinals are furious over their in ability to get series tickets ex cept through scalpers. They are bombarding newspapers with let ters and telephone calls. Explain ing the Cardinals' policy, Sam Breailon. president of the club, said approximately 17.000 seats "l'av iftiWi A . .WXyrirnnr were available to the general pub lic. Breadon said more than enough applications were received the first day the sale opened to swamp workers. Nazis Ready To Greet 2nd Front, Hitler Declares BERLIN, (from German broad easts, Sept. 30. (AP) Adolf Hit ler told his people today that we believe that we shall continue j to defeat our enemies until final victory is ours." He assured the German nation that Stalingrad was bound to fall. Hitler's address, his customary winter relief campaign speech to the nazi party, broke a five months' silence. (On the same occasion last Oc tober 4, Hitler told the nazis that "now it can be declared that the enemy is broken and will never rise again.") Hitler declared that if the Brit ish try again to invade Europe, no matter where, "they can deem themselves lucky if they stay for nine hours on the continent, as at Dieppe, for we have made thorough preparations to wel come them." (The Germans have persisted in the theory that the big cam mando raid on Dieppe last Au gust 19 was an actual invasion attempt.) "We are determined to hold this year what we have and to at tack where we believe it to be necessary, Hitler went on. Brands Foe As "Idiot" "For our enemies, it Is nothing if we take Stalingrad, if we pierce through to the Caucasus, if we capture the Ukraine and the Don and if we gain grain and oil for Europe. "But If they are able to make a landing and painfully succeed In keeping this foothold for nine hours, this is for them an extra ordinary sign of the force which i the British empire is able to bring up. . . "If I had an enemy of great military caliber I could figure out where he would attempt to attack but as I have to deal with an enemy who is a military idiot one cannot say where the invasion at tempts will be made." At the start of his speech, Hitler turned to the "Atlantic charter," wliieh he called "a stupidity which will bo valid for only a couple of years and will be eliminated by hard facts." During the German break through to the Don river, Hitler declared, 75 soviet divisions were desl royed. lie enumerated these as the most Important war developments of recent months: Germany has becone safely en trenched on the Black sea; Kerch and Sevastopol (harriers to conquest of the Crimea) have been taken; Tobruk again is in German hands. Chance to Upset Jap Drive Muffed, Adm. Hart Charges PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30. (API Admiral Thomas C. Hart, former commander of allied naval forces in (he western Pa cific, believes that army air fighters failed in the first day of the battle over Luzon and thus missed a chance to cripple Ja pan's drive to Java. illart, in an article in the Oc tober 3 issue of the Saturday Ev ening Post, released today, also asserted that "fighters based on Oaiiu aerdromes missed their j big chance "during the Pearl liarDor attack. The navy "erred" at Pearl har bor, he added, "in presenting so many targets in such small space, under the tense condi tions prevailing in earlv Decem ber. Hart, now a member of the navy's policy making general board, made the statements in what the Post called "an ap praisal of our mistakes and our virtues." He said the Japanese had to conquer Luzon as the first step toward Java because it was the strongest island in the Philip pines and "the Japs could not leave this power unimpaired on their flanks." "This was the place and the time to have beaten our enemy in the air," he wrote. "On those tit-Ids were more than twice as many P-10's as the A. V. G. ever had. but again we failed to take much toll of the Japanese planes. That first day or so was our chance ill the air. and we missed it. From there onward it was backward all the way, on the sea. on the land, under the sea and over both." Sound Sleeper KANSAS CITY Thomas Smith, 55, sat on a downtown curb to rest and fell asleep. Awakened by a sharp pain In his left foot, he was taken to the hospital where examination re vealed a fractured bone. "I guess a car must have run over me," he speculated. Huge Losses Fail to Halt Stalingrad Siege (Continued from page 1.) Invaders launched repeated, fu tile attacks to widen a wedge In Stalingrad's northwest section. ' "The enemy suffered particu larly heavy losses in trying to capture one height," the Russian command said. "In this battle, the enemy lost over 700 men." Red Star said the Germans, fearing sudden night attacks, were sending rockets flaring through the skies and floating down by parachutes to light the battle scene. While acknowledging the grav ity of the situation within Stalin grad, Red Star declared that Rus sian troops had repulsed nazi shock forces which knifed into a factory district on the northwest outskirts Monday.

On the central (Moscow) front, Russian shock troops were re ported to have cut through the "line of the fuehrer" above Rzhev, 130 miles northwest of Moscow, In an attack launched after a barrage by hundreds of guns. The "line of the fuehrer" was apparently the system of heavily fortified defenses erected by the Germans for the past 11 months around Rzhev, a key nazi strong hold. Trenches, underground com munications, mine fields, wire barricades and three lines of fire points guarded the zone.

On the Black sea coast, in the northwest Caucasus, the Russians said they had routed a Rumanian mountain division below Novo rossisk. Red navy marines were credited with capturing a height, destroying 45 dugouts, seven block houses and four headquar ters, and killing 500 axis troops.
