Hankow railroad, which Is more
than 100 miles DOWN the
Yangtze from the Jap base at
Ichang.
This, If true, Is highly impor
tant, us it means that by cutting
the river transport line (rail
roads and highways are few and
far between In this part of
China) the Japs at Ichang nay
be cut off.
There arc indications that the
Chinese may be headed towurd
the bl(j air base at Changsha,
which the Chinese built for US to
use against Japan but which the
Japs took.
THERE'S still nothing much but
rumors from F.urope. 'Die ru
mors, however, have taken a new
turn.
Yugoslav General Mihailovic's
guerrillas are said to have surged
up in such force as tp.nslvc com
pelled the Germans to abandon
1200 square miles of territory.
Greek guerrillas have captured
an Italian-held village In the
Pindus mountains! where the
Greeks made their epic stand
something over a year ago), kill
ing 300 Italians and taking 80
prisoners.
London reports the Jews rising
in Poland, with TERRIBLE con
sequences to themselves 2000 of
them shot by the Germans, .')000
burned to death, etc.
. At least, these rumors give us
a glimpse of what the Germans
will be up against If and when.
THE Russians raise to 11)2 their
figure on the number of
planes they shot out of the S(X)
plane armada the Germans sent
against them-a truly staggering
percentage.
FOUR limes now the British
fleet has shelled the Italian
fortress island of Pantelleria
with NO COMEBACK from axis
forces-- although for weeks Ihe
Berlin radio lias been boasting
the Italian fleet Is all set and
ready to steam into battle at a
moment's notice.
IK you want to know why Pan
lellelia is so Important, take a
look al your map and try to
ligure out how you'd get ships
through Ihe Sicilian strait to
Sue, as long as the German; and
Italians hold this Malta liku tin

There's nothing wrong with

PROTECTION FOR MOTORISTS
.EDITORIAL.
By Charles V. Stanton
COME automobile owners apparently are confused by state-
ments concerning the Oregon Motor Vehicle Safety Respon
sibility law, which goes into effect Wednesday, June 9. Dealers
in automobile insurance have been utilizing a great deal of ad
vertising space to call the attention of motorists to the protec
tion afforded by liability policies.
The purpose of the law is simple. It was passed to afford
protection to the responsible motorist. Records show that dur
ing 1942 there were 70,000 Orcgonians involved in automo
bile accidents. Many of these accidents were caused by care
less or reckless drivers who carried no liability insurance and
who had no personal assets from which innocent parties could
recover damages for personal injuries or loss of property.
After June 9 each party to an automobile accident, whether
at fault or not, must immediately report the accident to the
police authorities and also furnish proof of financial responsi
bility. It is not required that he have an insurance policy. He can,
if he prefers, furnish a surety bond or make a cash deposit of
$1 1,000 to be held for an indefinite time pending settlement of
damage claims.
If he fails to show such proof of financial responsibility, the
secretary of state is instructed to suspend the operator's license
and all registration certificates of the owner, "unless and until
he has furnished, and thereafter maintains, proof of financial
responsibility."
Proof is not required to be furnished until after nn accident
occurs. Some drivers may hope to avoid accidents and, in the ' If A I'm It RoOCOVpIt
strength of their optimism, will fail to provide themselves with!"'''''" llwUJCfvllf
protection. If they are fortunate enough to escape a wreck,
they are indeed lucky. It is not always the reckless or irrespon-1
siblc, driver who has accidents. Disaster frequently arises from
mechanical failure, weather conditions or other factors which
eliminate any moral responsibility. Vet the driver may be
technically to blame for the accident and may be held liable
(or damages.
The law is designed to weed out the irresponsible drivers. A
good many lives probably will be lost and much damage caus
ed before they are all off the road, but the continued operation
of the law would eventually insure possibility for persons suf
fering injury or damage in automobile accident to obtain finan
cial redress. Because insurance policies provide ihe easiest and
least complicated way to show financial responsibility, insur
ance dealers are urging such policies upon the motor vehicle I
owner.
While on the subject of insurance, it might be well to answer
the question a great many people have been asking since the
Roseburg fire department's excellent run to Sutherlin Saturday
night. We have had many people ask why the fire department '
can go to neighboring towns, but cannot go a block outside the
city limits when a building is on file just beyond the municipal
boundary? The answer is: insurance. All members of I lie fife
department are protected under the industrial accident feature
of the workmen's compensation law. The regulations provide
that fire departments of one municipality may go to the aid
of another and the protection for firemen is in force while cn
route as well as while engaged in fighting (ire. The same ap
plies to property under protection through a contract with the
city for service outside the limits. If, however, the ire depart
ment goes into territory which has no contract or municipal or
ganization, the workmen's compensation coverage is invalidated. '
In such case a fireman injured in fighting (ire would be able to;
collect damages from the city. Taxpayers in each municipality
pay taxes toward maintenance of local fire departments. There-,
fore, a mutual aid arrangement is equitable. Hut the law rec-l
ognizes that property owners contiibuting nothing toward main-
tenance of fire fighting equipment and organizations have no 1
right to demand services at the expanse of cither taxpayers. Pro
vision iB made whereby areas adjoining a city may form file
protection districts or may contract with cities for fire fie,lil-!
ing services, but departments are barred from giving sue h aid 1
unless such arrangements have been made in advance. I
TAKE and no ITT.
The miners are merely going
after what the demagogues have
been telling them is their DUE.

YEARS TOO SOOM
we told you Saturday, without
qualifications or its and maybes,
that after this you would hear
"Lest We Forget" on Tuesday
evenings at 7:15 and, as usual,
we're wrong, because the very
first Tuesday we had scheduled
it at the new time here comes an
other fight night and there goes
Lest We Forget. Anyway we're
half right you'll hear It on Tues
day but at 8:15 this week. Boy's
Town has to move down to 8:30
and Dr. Wainseott gets a vaca
tion this week, unless we can slip
his fifteen-minute health talk in
later sometime. We know lots of
you follow these talks regularly
and we hope we can catch up
with it later if so, we'll give you
plenty of advance notice so you
won't miss it.
Now, for other Tuesday spots
remember your "Eyes Aloft"
program is Tuesday mornings at
11:00 o'clock now, and the re
turn of Nick Carter is another
regular Tuesday show at (i:30. As
for the fight- this is sort of an
extra dividend, being on Tuesday
night; and with another battle
royal coming on Friday, it makes
three lights within a week, which
is something of a record. Tues
day's bout is a 15 rounder be
tween Jimmy Bivins and Lloyd
Marshall. While officially they're
battling for the Duration light
heavyweight championship, i t
seems to be a generally accepted
fact that the winner will be re-
i cognized as the world's 17.r)-pound
king after the war is over. Any
way, it should lie a good fight,
so tune in ut 7:00 o'clock Tues
day night.
Return Here Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Ilouser have returned to
their home in this city, following
a short visit with relatives and
friends In Eugene.

Liquor Ration Cut
To Pint a Week
PORTLAND, Ore., June 7 -(AP)
More drastic rationing of
liquor, considered inevitable for
several weeks as Oregon's sup
plies dwindled, became a fact aft
er the close of business Saturday
and henceforth each purchaser
will be limited to one pint a
week, or a quart or fifth in two
weeks, of any spiritous liquor.
Although an Oregon customer
may buy a full quart or fifth of
liquor at one time, the two-weeks
ration Is not cumulative. That is,
the customer may not skip a
week and buy a quart the next
week. A week gone is gone for
ever. A quart or fifth bought
one week cancels the following
week. But he may buy a pint
each week.
ol.Y.MI'IA, Wash., June 7
(API Liquor rationing quotas
were cut in half loday and liquor
stores will sell one pint of whis
key or gin to a consumer per
week instead of a quart as lias
been previously allowed permit
holders.
I Oregon and Montana hoards
are introducing similar rations.
British Columbia limits pur
chases to 13 ounces a month, and
Idaho allows a quart per week.
Shoe Ration Stamp 18

rationing division of the district i
