Several ill persons were brought from Springfield to Eu gene by way of the Southern Pa cific lino on sjioedors, to bo taken to tho hospitals hero. Hunflreds of evacuees In Spring field, most from the Glenwood area which has been under sev eral feet of water for more than 30 hours, worn being fed in the high school there. The Rod Cross provided them with shelter in the homos of Springfield resi dents during the night. Buildings Collapse Property damage was expected to bo heaviest In tho Glenwood area as rescuers coming back from there this morning said many more buildings had been crumpled by the flood waters. Springfield police reported that Jasper and Deadmond ferry dis tricts were calling for help across tho waters and firing guns in at tempts to gain the attention of rescuers. These areas were ex pected to be evacuated today. A detachment of 77 army en gineers from Camp Adair arrived here this morning and immediate ly began to help with rescue work. Reports from tho state police here Indicated that Eugene had only one passable route north or south this morning, tho Lorane Cottage Grove detour, anil it was open only to heavy traffic. They said their reports indicated the Pacific highway was closed on both east and west lanes north of Eugene. DISASTER THREATENS UPPER WILLAMETTE AREA SALEM, Ore., Jan. 1 ( AP) Tho Marion county Rod Cross disaster relief committee stood on the alert today as the boiling Willamette river threatened to flood scores of farm homes in tho Salem area. Willi a 27-foot crest predicted for Saturday night, tho river reached 23.2 foot at 8 a. m. today, up one foot in eight hours. Salem itself would bo endang ered if the river goes above 27 or 2S feet. In tho botlom lands near Salem, some tenants have aban doned their homes, but others have remained, traveling by row boat. Residents of nearby Dallas were ordered by city officials to boil their drinking water after a slide broke a water pipe near tho source of tho city's water supply. Remnants of Silverton's Abiqita dam, source of tho town's water supply, went out late yesterday. The dam was damaged in the November flood, hut it had been hoped that tho broken dam could havo been used as the foundation for a new one. Russian Tide Heads For Caucasus Region (Continued from page 1.) would facilitate tho Russians ad vance at this season. Salsk is a key point of tho rail way system south of tho Don. It is on the StalingradTikhoretsk railway and a junction point for a connecting line to Rostov. Con sequently it was of importance in maintaining tho connection be tween the Germans in the Cau casus and in the Ukraine. Other Angles Of Pocket Twenly miles south is Divnoe, the starling point of another rail way linked with the Rostov-Baku trunk line. An advance along that line would threaten isolation of the German forces buried deep in the Moz.dok and Nalchik sectors of the Caucasus. Another dangerous bond had been created for tho Germans farther north along tho Don whore their flanks were menaced by two red army salients south west of Stalingrad through Ko telnikovski and west of Stalin grad to the Millerovo area. The Germans still held the latter town, but the railroad leading southwest to Voroshilov grad bad been cut. The two Russian arms thus threatened a second vast encircle ment of German forces in tho Don bulge. A special New Years communi que said 1.5S!) towns had been captured in the powerful triple offensive on both sides of Stalin grad, ill the middle Don and southwest of Stalingrad which be gan Nov.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 ( AP) The navy reported today that four Japanese "Zero" float pianos had shot down two Ameri can Lightning fighters while losing only one of their own num ber in a battle over Kiska in the Aleutian islands on Dec. 30. The reported presence of Jap anese fighter planes at Kiska came as something of a surprise to naval men hero since it bad been many weeks since tho Jap anese had offered and aerial re sistance over their base there. The best they had been able to do since last fall had boon to op pose repealed American air at tacks on their shipping and shore installations with anti-aircraft fire whicli at times was weak. Tho sudden appearance of four Zero float planes apparently In dicated not only a determination on the enemy's part to hold on to the Island as long as possible but also an ability to get in suf ficient supplies of aviation gaso line and other necessities for iho operation of at least a few planes. Germany, North France Undergo RAF Blasting (Continued from page 1.) hit Wednesday night and Thurs day. A fourth ship, Cairo said, was hit by an aerial torpedo in a foray off Sicily and was set on fire.

Previously French forces had j bt.en renoi'ted exerting pressure! soulh of Pont Du-Fahs, but there was no reliable Indication wheth er the Germans bad penetrated into ullied linos in this operation. Bou Arada is about 15 miles south of Medjez-El-Bab. On tho oi her hand French troops captured a position north west of Heidous, which is a few miles north of Medjez-El-Bab. Tho Italians claimed to have captured prisoners and malorial in patrol actions in both Tunisia and Libya and asserted that a motorized formation was dis persed in the Fezan area of southern Libya, where fighting French have been pushing north ward. The Italian communique said that in an aerial attack on an allied convoy off Bone two mer chant ships were hit. North Atlantic Clash There were no new reports from the northern waters, where British warships damaged and drove off an enemy cruiser and possibly sank a destroyer in a fleet action which the admiralty said last night was continuing. British newspapers speculated that a German fleet force-perhaps headed by tho powerful battleship Tirpitz might have ilit nllnmnlinc to tire.'ik out into the north Atlantic.
