The great influx of war work ers lo Oregon will force a fur (greater defensive effort on the part of the Oregon Public Health association, Sadie Orr Dunbar, state president, told local health workers at an organization meet ing held here Monday. Tlie Doug Ins county association meeting was bld at the Itoseburg Wom an's club building, where an nouncement was made of the elec tion of Mrs. C.

Mrs. Dunbar roortcd on the work accomplished In past years in the fight against tuberculosis, pointing out thai the state now is operating three hospitals for treatment of patients suffering from Ihe disease, and that the number of cases has been mate rially reduced in recent years. The greatest number of cases, she slated, are in women between Ihe ages of IS and 3a years, while during the past three years, par ticularly, there has been an in crease in middle-aged men hos pitalized for treatment. Employ men ot young women anil middle aged men in war Industries, il is learcd, will bring about increases in Ihe number of persons alflicled wilh tuberculosis. Mrs. Dunbar reported. She also detailed in a most in lelvsling manlier, the experiences of a group of 25 persons w ilh which she was associated on a good will lour of the Latin Amer ican countries in liMO.

SECOMD MATURE Concerning the NORTHWEST As Viewed at the National Capital By Paul Punham WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 13. "Give us a couple of dozen air craft carriers, a properly balanced task force, the marines to make landings, and we can cut a path across the Pacific to Japan itself and make it stick," reported Lleut.-Com. John Smith Thach in a public statement the past week. Further elaborating on the situa tion in the Pacific, Lieutenant Commander Thach said the Jap anese had aircraft carriers when the war started and we did not, and their victories over our land and sea forces were quick and decisive. Still another authority is quot ed, also a high ranking naval of ficial, to the effect that it Ameri can aircraft and bombers had not been surprised and destroyed practically the first clay of the outbreak our situation in the Pa cific would be vastly different than what it is today. These statements are disturbing in the minds of those who aro totally engrossed in the war ef fort. In the first place, the ques larger force of aircraft carriers and why such carriers were not in the Pacific lo meet the Japan ese onslaught. In the second place, it is clear that America's monumental blunder in allowing Japan lo lake us by surprise Is not an Issue that can be downed in silence. Some body was responsible. In Issues of this kind responsibility does not lest upon subordinates as a rule. In the attitude toward Japan im mediately preceding the attack the very highest administrative officials had the case in band and had power to Instruct subordin ates what to do, w here to he, and how to be prepared. Merely order lug a court martial of Admiral Kimmel and General Short, with the unique provision that a hear ing on the court martial should not be held until after the war is over, does not satisfy those who want to win the war and who be lieve that the highest Intelligence and the most capable minds must be used in the combat wilh Japan. Planning post war readjustments and labor absorptions and win ning elections during the war are not the most essential things to do when tain I by an enemy such as Japan. What can be done to safeguard against repetition of such blunders as those which oc cured at Pearl harbor, and to save American lives when meeting a hitler and efficient foe are the questions on many tongues. Merchant Ships Hard Hit American merchant marine is suffering high mortality thus far in proportion to the total number of men employed. Official an nouncement has been made that between September, IHU. and August. 19TJ. the number of men lost in the merchant marine was 2.301 of w hich 110 were reported as dead, and l.SPt missing. Since few merchant marine men are taken captive, il Is assumed that the missing will eventually be classified as mortalities. The record of merchant marine personnel losses is approaching the mortality list of Pearl harbor. It is also Hearing the mortality list among fighting forces offic ially reported In ihe southwest Pacific other than in the Phihn- ( pines. The facts reveal that the merchant marine personnel is I taking a heavy share of the re sHinslbilily ot the war. due to the (.,ju(, , clnu subniarlnes PJ:",R thc A"''mil-' ''' '-' c,,lc' U Boats Still Problem respite statements to the el- feet that the losses from sub marines are being lowered, it is clear that the ynited States has not yet attained anything like reasonable control of this lurking enemy. Swarms of small boats of scouting and submarine hunting character are being put into com mission. Convoy practices are adopted not previously used. Other safeguards In the way of blimps and patrol planes opera ting from the shoreline are an nounced. Still a swarm of sub marines operating in tlie trade lanes are definitely taking 1 a heavy toll. Such continued losses despite the far-flung and expensive safety factors adopted emphasizes the need for maximum air cargo movement such as suggested by Henry J. 'Kaiser. Thc armed ser vices announce ihat they are using a large number of cargo planes on four or five definite routes. Statements have been made that if 40,000 cargo carrying planes of the size now used were put In service they would practi cally be the equivalent of the carrying capacity of thc existing merchant marine fleet. These as sertions somellrtes seem to have the purpose of discouraging the program suggested by Mr. Kaiser; but, instead, as a. matter of fact they, really emphasize the need of a new,' larger and more efficient type of air transport. The public, rather than official-minded Wash ington, is profoundly interested in the experiment which Kaiser has been authorized to conduct.

R. Williams Order Phosphate Now, Farmer Told Douglas county farmers who want to obtain phosphate under the 1913 AAA program for use this fall should place their order immediately with the county I AAA office, Leo Sparks, chair-1 man of the county AAA com mittee, announced yesterday. j One thousand tons of 18 per i cent superphosphate have been I allocated to Oregon for distribu l Hon this fall. Fifty tons have been ordered for this county, and do- j livery is expected within the next few days. Cost of Ihe phosphate will be deducted from 1913 AAA produc- ( tion practice payments earned by I the grower, the chairman explain ed. Deduction rates will be 25 a ton. Mr. Sparks also pointed out that practice payment rates for application of phosphate under the 1943 program have been in creased to compensate for the in -. creased cost of the material. Application of phosphate In con-1 nection with the fall seeding ofi legumes or annual ryegrass, or to permanent pastures, can be of ( real assistance In meeting war! production goals for livestock pro- oucts and cover crop seeds, the, chairman believes. While the county committee is hopeful of obtaining additional shipments for distribution next spring, there is no assurance that phosphate will be available after the first of the year, because of the extreme shortage ol com-; mercial fertilizer materials.

The registration will be con ducted by the county farm trans portation committee headed by S. Cbmptori. Other members itf cludo G. Ni Riddle, Riddle: Leo Sparks, Oakland: James E. Conn, Itoseburg; John Cabot, Tenmile: W. B. Garrett, Glendale, and D. N. Busenbark, Roseburg. War Board Chairman Leo Sparks explained that certificates of war necessity are required for every ' commercial vehicle under terms of a sweeping new order that gives the office of defense transportation control of the na tion's highway transportation fa cilities. The certificate will govern the amount of miles that may be operated and the loads that must be carried by all vehicles affected by the order. Without a certificate, truck owners will not be able to obtain gasoline, parts or tires, the chair man warned. , Application blanks are being mailed to all truck owners by ODT. Any truck owner who has not received his application be fore the registration period should apply at once to the Port land office of the ODT, Division of Motor Transport, for forms covering his truck or trucks. Plan For Registration Farm truck owners and truck ers hauling farm supplies will make application during the Octo ber 22-24 registration period. The county transportation committee is making arrangements for reg istration places at convenient locations throughout the county, and members of thc committee will be on hand at such places to assist in filling out the applica tions. Location of the registration places, L. S. Compton said, will be announced on the radio, and in the newspaper. The chairman emphasized that all owners of farm trucks, and operators of trucks hauling sup plies to and from the farm, should make applications during this three-day period. Those who al ready received application blanks should wait until then to file them, he said. "Farm trucks are being includ ed in this drastic program to con serve transportation facilities be cause of their importance in food production, Mr. Compton said. "There are 1,500,000 trucks now engaged in hauling farm products and supplies. Every one of them must be kept rolling for the dura tion, because no more trucks are being made. The time lo conserve trucks is right now. while we still have something to conserve." KRNR iMutual Broadcasting System, 1490 Kilocycles.
