The Casablanca Meeting THE meeting in north Africa of President Roosevelt and Wins ton Churchill so dramatically re vei led to the world is more effec tive through implication than in published fact. If the event was simply a meeting of two astute politicians, both noted for ver bosity, to compose more high sounding phrases, then It savors of playing to the grandstands. However, there Is the Implication that the meeting had a far more Important purpose. It Is very probable that grand strategy was planned and approved to bring many headaches to the axis powers In the months to come. The meeting, regardless of all olher possible effects, places the united nations In the position of supremacy In the war of nerves as well as having wrested the of- j fensive from the axis upon the battlefronts of the world. Naturally, the plans tyr future movements of united nations armies and the fronts upon which axis forces are lo tie harried, if such strategy was develoM'd, cannot lie publicly announced. We Can only wait for future develop ments to reveal the nature or the conversations that were carried out behind the closely guarded walls. But there Is ample indica tion that there has been agree ment upon a program In be put into execution in the near Inline. The people of the United Slates are not In the mood tor mere words, they demand action the kind of action Stalin is lurnish Ing in which (be toe of sturdy Russian boots Is being applied to the northernmost exposure of southbound Germans and German satellites. Editorials on Newt (Contlnusd from pit 1.) to suggest that he doesn't even plan a slop at the Mareth line 01" French fortifications. A glance at your map will tell you w hy this suggest inn is not unreasonable. If Uommcl had only Monlgnin cry's pursuing army to reckon with, he would ho likely to choose I he Mareth line lor a last-ditch stand, but Montgomery isn't his sole problem. Hack of the Mareth line are the British, the Ameri cans and the Trench in Tl'XIS 1A, and It is highly probable that they are planning a powerful smash THROUGH to the Medi terranean coast, thus cutting him olf and trapping him in an area where he can get no support, even from the sea.

A German plane is said to have dropped a taunting note, wanting to know why "the Americans won't come out and fight." The Americans, the dispalch.es say, ''accepted the challenge" and made a raid in force to w it.'uu 33 jnlles of tiie Mediterranean ctMsr, "taking 80 German prisoners." YOU may lie quite sure that if the Germans dropped such a not i! they were trying to trap us into doing s o m et h i n g they WANTED us to do, and you may be equally sure that if we did it it wasn't just out of bravado. Our leaders are too smart to fall into any such trap. If we're driving to the Mediterranean coast In that general area wc know what we're doing, and probably MEAN BUSINESS. That's what Rommel fears. If he doesn't stop at the Mareth line, thai will be why. T' HE most significant Russian fighting Is in the network of railroads north and west of Rostov. If they can MASTER this rail network, they'll have the Ros tov land gap pretty effectively plugged. td b. . k sponsored .ss than human If you" oV'Ifh I feel this tenseness that is in the air.

T HIS Is the conclusion that j would be TRAGICALLVl wrong: "We've got the enemy by the' tall with a down hill pull, and can I afford to LET DOWN in our ef-1 forts." The time to pull our belts light er and hit harder than ever is when (and if) our enemies arc beginning to show signs or weak ening. B ESIDES, there are no depend- weakening.

Kelly WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 28. Polilleos of Seattle are trying to have a 12th district of war pro duction board established in that city, to ignore San Francisco, the regional headquarters, and give orders to Portland. This charge i, being made by scores of Ore gon business men and particular ly business men of Portland. John. Hoetlinger, editor of the Seattle Post Intelligencer, and Senator Moll C. Wallgren of F.verett, Wash., are Ihe oliticos. according to telegrams sent to Oregon senators. They are ac cused of trving to bring pressure on Donald Nelson, chief of WPli. I to divorce Washington state Irom i the San Francisco directorate and create a new district in Seattle. Mr. Nelson is sending an agent to the Pacific.' noi l Invest lo make an investigation, although he is said lo fee that the present set-up is satisfactory. Oregon contention is 1 hat the WPIJ office in Poitland is running ellicienily anil smoothly and has been making a K'"d record. whereas the WPli ollice in Seattle 1 both these oil ices are subordinate to Ihe regional olfice , in San Francisco 1 has established j no record for rfliriency.

Pargeler, war bond chairman of Douglas county, said today the amount of Series E war bonds which can be pur chased by an individual has been raised from $5,000 to $10,000 in co-ownership with another Indi vidual. This does not necessarily mark the limit, according lo Pargeler. Ho pointed out that war bonds to the amount of $5,000 can be purchased with still additional co-owners so long as such bonds are apportioned to the third party. i "By this arrangement a family of four can buy war bonds to the extent of $20,000" Pargeter stated. '$10,000 can be held be tween husband and wife, $5,000 between father and first child, and S5.000 between mother a-.d second child. There is no limit to which this arrangement can be carried out between relatives and friends, ac cording to the county chalrma.1.
