The Italians apparent ly got out early. Tho ships were TrJEIRS. s 0 much for the great and thrilling victory we've won In Africa. ' Meanwhile Tho Japs report they're within 12 jnllcs of the Burma-India bor der. This claim Is unconfirmed by' our sitic, but the news from down there has been none too re assuring lately. THE point is that this is world war, with many fronts, and a victory on ONE front doesn't mean that tho WAR has been .won. ' : ' ' :' IVON'T draw wrong conclusions II from the way the Germans are surrendering in Tunisia. Re cent dispatches tell us they're fighting coolly, stubbornly and effectively at Novorosslsk. It's all over In Tunisia, and reason-tells- them they mlghtias well give up. It Isn't all over yet in Jhe Kuban. Although the Rus sians are pressing thorn hard, they're getting In reinforcements and still have n chance. So they fight on. It would be nice to be able to beilcvo that the morale of the German army Is breaking, but us yet the OVER ALL signs don't point . that way. The Germans were decisively licked In Tunisia, but their morale didn't break un til AFTER the licking. SWISS dispatches (reported via j khc Moscow radio) say that Guoring and Hlmmler have been sent to Italy Gocring to reor- ganizc the Italian army ami j Hlrhmler to "reorganize" the ! Italian people. ' , Hlmmler is the brutal head of the nazl secret police. One can ' imagine the kind o( rcorganiz-' lug the Italian people will get I from him. CONTINUING with rumors, i V Reuters British news agen- i cyl quotes the Budapest radio as saying that telephone communi cation between Bulgaria and Tur key has been discontinued. Keep your fingers crossed, but this might be Important. Bulgaria lies next-door to Eu ropean Turkey. Turkey has bo-en leaning steadily toward our side ever since Russia stnpcd Hitler ut Stalingrad and Montgomery cracked Rommel decisively at El Aliimcin. One ot the gateways to the fortress of Europe lies through the Balkans, and Turkey is our way to get there. s W1TZERLAND Is our obvious listening post for German re action to the African disaster, but is wholly dominated by Ger many and dares not say or do much that might anger the Ger mans. So we must iake what comes from there wi h a grain ol salt. Sllll, Swiss ivports lire interest ing. A Berlin dispatch to the news paper Geneve says the Germans are walking around us if they'd ! been hit on the head and stunned. Their bewilderment, Geneve's correspondent says, is due to the tact that Rommel's retreat from El, Alamein clear back to Tunisia has been pictured to the home folk us a foxy voluntary retire ment dosigned to lead the British Into a trap. They can't under stand his sudden annihilation. Painting rosy picture :. ior the people nt home is nil tight up to GOOD YEAR FOR TURKEYS pnirnpiAi By Charles AOUCLAS COUNTY turkey V profitable season, Herbert western Turkey Growers cooperative. Salt Lake City, reported here Tuesday. Mr. Beyers bases his prediction upon informa tion gained at Washington, D, C, where he has spent consider able time in recent months on behalf of western turkey grow ers. The concern he heads is a central marketing agency for a number of cooperative organizations of turkey raisers, in cluding the Oregon Turkey Growers Cooperative, of which Mr. Beyers was manager for a number of years. Because of his long residence here and his part in the organization of the Ore gon cooperative, which had its inception in Douglas county, he is particularly interested in local prospects. His contacts with Washington bureaus, he states, causes him to believe there will be little, if any, change in the price ceiling as it affects growers. New regulations may be issued govern ing wholesale and retail profits, ceiling price approximately the This is welcome news, not only to turkey growers but to the county as a whole, for the turkey industry is one of the princi pal income producers. Profits general stimulation of all types as closely knit as the Umpqua group cannot help but affect a whole. Therefore, we can all join in pleasure over the pros pects for a good year for turkey growers. A very considerable increase in the volume of the turkey crop for this year indicates that growers, too, are anticipating profitable operation. Current meat shortages are increasing consumer demand for all poultry. . Freezer stocks of turkeys are at extremely low level, Beyers states, and birds are moved into retail trade as rapidly as received. Incidentally, the Northwest Turkey Growers publish a maga zine, Norbest Turkey News, from which we take the following story, previously published in the Eastern Chronicle, New Glasgow: ' A Dollar-a-Year man came down from 'Ottawa to show the local farmers what they needed. He had never been on a farm nnd was. shown a cow with a large udder. Being nn efficiency expert he began asking questions. "What are those things hanging down?" he asked. The farmer told him the milk came from them. "But why docB she need four? That is a waste effort." The farmer smiled and took the Ottawa boy for a walk. "One," he said, "is for milk, another for cream, the next is for ice cream and the fourth for buttermilk." "That's too many," said the Ottawa mnn. "I'll issue an order freezing the cream, ice cream and buttermilk faucets, nnd lenve the milk one. The cow can then concentrate on the one, give more and eat less. What's the big animal over there?" r- "That's a bull," replied the thesauuitry." ' v ' 'Til buy him." said the man the civil service, "and shoot him. I was told capital the more bull 1 could shoot the better." a certain point, but when disaster strikes and the TRUTH has to come out, the home front reac tion to Buch a policy can be dangerous.

COWARDICE SEEN IN ANONYMOUS LETTERS Editor New s Review: Once I enjoyed working out a puzzle but now' (o me so many unexplain ublc things arc happening that I find myself in a quandary almost I every day.

United States Representative Harris Ellsworth went before a senate committee last week to argue for a bill which would sub stantially . increase the revenue which southwestern Oregon coun ties receive from Oregon and Cali fornia grant lands. The committee was the com mittee on public lands and sur veys. The bill was one whicn Ellsworth himself Introduced shortly after his arrival here In January. Some Lands Yield Less Here is the situation: Most of the O. & C. lands lands originally granted to a lailroad but later reclaimed by Ihe government yield the ad ioining counties 50 per cent of the revenue from all timber sales. In time, they will yield 75 per cent. However, an estimated 465000 acres yield nothing whatever. These lands have always been considered part of the grant. It is only because of a technicality that they contribute nothing to 'rom Almost everybody's figuring what thlngs'U be like after the war. I talked about that today with Jeb Crowell. Job-he's a veteran of the last War-says: "One thing's sure, Joe. Tho boys this time won't return anil find what wo camo back to." Then he went on to mention Prohibition . . . and I ought to say right here that Jeb's a man of moderation ... a glass of beer or two is all he'll ever take. It was the principle of the tiling that bothered him. No. 60 of a Series ER2 MEEPJ(" the counties in which they lie. Logging Wear Roads Ellsworth's bill would put them on the same basis as other O. 0. lands. In his statement to the com mittee, Ellsworth pointed out that more than three-fourths of the O- & C. grants lie in his congressional district; that mod ern logging methods . had in creased highway use and wear and that other burdens had been Imposed on the counties. Old Packing Plant at Goble Raxed by Fire ST. HELENS, Ore., May 13 Fire of undetermined origin last night destroyed tho old cold stor age, and fish-packing plant, and 'two tool houses of the S. P. & S. railroad at Goble, Ore., on the Columbia river, about 15 miles north of here. Favorable wind saved the wood Steamboat, S. S. Culburra, an chored hearby. A coastguard crew from Longvlew saved tho adjoining docks. Ernest Fisher, custodian of the building which was owned by A. L. Goldschmidt of Tacoma, esti mated the loss at $12,000, par tially covered by Insurance. The building has not been used since 1925. It was built about 50 years ago. where I sit..: Joe Marsh "Passing k law behind our backs," he says, "was vlolatln' Just what wo were fightlu' for. The very principles we fought for in 1776. Law-makln' without representation Is one of the most undemocratic things we call do." I guess we're all agreed on that.
