T HE Paris radio (never reliable) Is telling of concentrations ot TURKISH troops opposite the Italian Dodecanese islands off the Turkish coast and of dally recon naissance flights over Bulgaria by unidentified planes. This situation will llkewi.se hear watching. It might gel hot at any moment. AN Interesting sidelignt: Field Marshal Baron von Rlghtofen, cousin of the famous World War 1 ace, is directing the German air defense of Sicily. He isn't do ing so well, having at lasl reports lost 103 planes to our 09. HERE Is a thrilling line from the South Pacific: "Munda Is being dive-bombed , to, destruc tion." ' it'' Dive bombers are nearly as ac curate as artillery.' More than 100 of our planes of this type are attacking the Jap airfield, pick ing their targets such as Jap gun positions, etc. The Japs haven't been able lo stop us.' 1 ,-' IN New Guinea, our men and the Australians are creeping In on Sulamauu, from which their front lines are loss than seven miles distant at two point. Salamaua and Lae arc the two principal Jap positions there, lioth have big airfields develop ed before the war by commercial air lines freighting machinery and supplies into the gold fields of the New Guinea mountains. It's these air fields we're gun ning for, as they will be Impor tant stepping-stones for attack on the big Jap base at Rahaul. Colonel Mccormick, or the Chicago Tribune, says Wlllkle is a Joke, and couldn't carry a single slate west of New Jersey. This writer's advice is to keep your fingers crossed. Nobody knows how strong Willkie Olt ANYBODY ELSE is right now. Wlllkle's book "One World" is making new highs In the way of sales, which at least Indicates public Interest in the author. Still, It's an axiom of politics that when yuu write a book you're SUNK as a candidate. IIAYUE that was back in the ff days when the No. 1 rule was lo say nothing worth while but devote your time lo peddling bunk that you couldn't be pinned down on.' By Charles V. Stanton THERE is an alarming aspect in reports of a nation-wide slump in war bond sales. Observers are crediting this condition to the imposition of the pay-as-you-go income lax deductions, which, doubtless, can be considered the principal factor. How ever, the favorable news emanating from the fighting fronts, coupled with the policy of withholding unfavorable information, doubtless is having some influence, There is a very grave danger of false confidence in the pres ent situation. We do not believe people would stop buying war ijonds because of tax deductions from payrolls, if the need for continued purchases of bonds and stamps could be properly emphasized. We have been thrilled by the achievements of our armed forces. The victorious march through Sicily and the terrible punishment administered the encrny in the South Pacific com bine to give us a distorted picture of allied successes. We have not been given names of the boys who were killed, maimed or captured in making those victories possible. We have not been told of the dangers that still threaten our own shores. We have not been made to see that there still is a long road to be travelled; that we have cleaned up only outposts and that the heaviest fighting still lies ahead. Because we have been giving only the encouraging news, we are in danger of becoming overconfident. There remains a lot of fighting to be done. We still need planes, tanks, ships, guns and ammunition. We must buy bonds that these implements of warfare can be placed in the hands of the men who have proven themselves so capable of making the best use of the home front's production. If the office of 'censorship would permit publication of cas ualty lists, if we were told of the enemy activities off our own shores ,if we were given the bad news along with the good, then, we believe, sales ot war bonds would be spurred with little additional effort. We don't wear rubbers when the sun shines. It's when the skies are cloudy that we dig out the raincoat, the parasol and Trie galoshes. A few clouds in the war sky would dampen our optimism and make us more circumspect.

If they would only print round cou pons, we could write our endorsement in real OPA fashion running around in circles. they're exerting an influence. Uased on talking to hundreds of them, this writer's flat opinion Is that they don't want to come back to an America that Is WHOLLY NEW. They're going lo want lo see the old, familiar things. They won't even like it If the house has been so complete ly done over that it will look strange. But DON'T forget this: Since Ihey became old enough ,to pay attention to such things, millions of these boys have never known ANY OTHER PRESI DENT than Franklin D. Roosevelt. s O, you see, Roosevelt as Presi- fourlh term, will be a PART of the familiar scene to which these boys yearn lo come back. I IF you are of a thoughtful turn of mind, this will help lo explain to you why this fourth term situation holds so much in terest, entirely apart from its partisan angles, for students of history and government.) DIALjgplOG By SUSAN T PIUS writer has a notion that the public generally is im patient with ANYBODY who has a linger in the pie and wants somebody ENTIRELY NEW. (FDR is a possible, maybe a probable, exception. The voters might easily elect him to a fourth term and along with him a con gress DIRECTLY OPPOSED to him.) THE fourth term situation is In tensely Interesting to students ot history and government. Sooner or latin-, hlsbry tells us plainly, people tend to become distrustful of the democratic pro cesses (or too lazy to assume their share of the responsibilities of self governmenl ) and turn to ONK MAN as their saviour. Maybe we've reached that point now. IN trying to estimate tiro fu ture, we can't overlook the mil lions ot men In the armed serv ices. When they come home from the wars, they're going to have a big say as to what the America of the future la to be. Even now, through their' IpttPis home, Big news In the offing, but due lo the fact that we haven't re ceived the full ln:':tnaiion there Isn't much we can tell you about it today.

WASHINGTON, July 15 -(API - Ten years a bridesmaid in pres idential politics, the republican parly came out flatly today with Ihe forecast that it would be the bride in the 19-1-1 elections. In a statement referring to President Rocseveit as "candi date," Chairman Harrison Span gler of Ihe G. O. P. national com mittee made the prediction of re- publican victory on what he call led Ihe strength of "polls of pub- lie opinion." j Spangler said the election would be decided in file north tern state. Yet, he declared, the "solid south" was not so solid for Mho democrats as Ihey usually i reckon. These "private polls," said Spangler, have showed that .the iG. O. P. has gained three per cent j among the ranks of labor-, pnd i five per cent in Ihe rural a;eas j of the north. Spangler put il this way: There are 21,000,01)0 labor vot es In the north. A three per cent ! gain for the republicans means a gain of 030,000 voters. A rise of five per cent would cull TOO, 000 votes more than before from 11,000,000 listed as the farm sions, small businessman, and miscellaneous, non e 1 a s s I f i e d groups, which would make the G. O. P. a winner by 1,710,000. Spangler predicted the electoral college vote would reflect what he said would be the G. O. P. gains in balloting totals. He said Ihe trend was under way in 1912 when the republicans gamed nine U. S. Senate seats, 4-l places in the house, and five governors, and he maintained that it still was growing. "These figures in our opinion are the very minimum and not the maximum," said Spangler. "They give adequate basis for be lief in republican victory in the presidential and congressional elections next year." bloc Subtract this gain from Presi dent Roosevelt's 2.1l9,7r2 popu lar majority in his successful third term hid in 1340, and the republicans would have an edge of 210.2W. A rive per cent gain also is seen by Spangler from the 15, 000,000 voters among the profes- Let Demos Do Bungling, Snell Advises G. O. P. PORTLAND, July 19. (API--Political office-holders gave their advice yesterday lo Ihe state re publican executive committee on how to get ready for the 10-14 elections. fn the words of Governor Snell, Ihis is: "Stand by and let the demo crats do their bungling and fum bling and quarreling. They are doing it for us. If all this con fusion continues, there is going to be something terrible happen on the domestic front." Kep. Homer D. Anell, Portland, gave like counsel. Howard M. Wall, Portland, was appointed committee treasurer in place of John N. Adams, Port land, resigned. Lowell C. Paget, Portland, was named-a commit tee member, succeeding Fred W. Bronn, recently appointed a Mult nomah county circuit judge. Beautified Church To he Celebrated The First Christian church of Roseburg will observe "Church Beautiful" Sunday, Aug. 1, cele brating completion of redecorat ing and painting of tho church building, Len B. Fishback, pastor, announced today. Tho congrega tion has spent more than $1,300 during the past month in redec-. orating and painting the interior and exterior of the church build ing. The program was made pos sible, the Rev. Mr. Fishback slat ed, by gifts from members and friends of the church in recogni tion of the work carried on dur ing Ihe past year among boys and young people. The church sup ports two Scout troops, one Cub pack and an "All Boy" Bible school class, all of which use Ihe basement and gymnasium. One basement room has been set aside for use by civilian defense forces.

All the rest of the famous land mark was destroyed in a fire which broke out Saturday night shortly after services had been completed. Priceless church relics, includ ing gifts from the late Empress Catherine of Russia, were de stroyed. These articles had been removed at the outset of the war and had but. recently been re turned to Ihe church. Insurance of S20.000 will re build the church, Father Greg ory Bleboff of Stanley, said, but Ihe relics and chalices lost in the flames are irreplaceable. Hew Gas Stamps Must be Endorsed When Received Motorists who fail to endorse all coupons in their new "A" mile age ration books before next Thursday, July 22, when they be come eligible for gasoline pur chases, may subject themselves to a penalty of losing all or part of their rations, Richard G. Mont gomery, OPA district director, announced. In the past it has not been nec essary to endorse the coupons un til they were actually used lo buy gas, .Montgomery explained, but immediate endorsements are now required under a new OPA amendment, both as a protection to the public and as a help to OPA investigators in cheeking misuse of ration coupons falling into the hands of persons not en titled to them, Montgomery point ed out. "The new requirement also means greater protection lo the motorist whose book is lost or stolen," Montgomery declared, "since the finder or thief will not be able to pass off the coupons as his own by writing in his own license number." The endorsement must be made on the face rather than on the back of coupons in the case of any new type coupon which pro vides space for endorsement on the front, it was explained. In the case of class "A" books, the license number and state of reg istration of the vehicle must be written, stamped or printed, clearly and in ink, on, the face of the coupons. In the case of Class B, C, D, T-l or T-2 books, the July 22 dead line for endorsement also applies and the license number and state of registration must be given except for fleet or official vehic les. Inspection Slated McDannel Brown, OPA district enforcement attorney, stated that OPA inspectors will go on duly July 22 to examine "A" books of motorisls making gasoline pur chases. 'We are determined to prevent diversion of unendorsed coupons into 'black market' channels, and insistence on prior endorsement of coupons is a major means of accomplishing tills purpose" Erown declared. OPA inspectors at service sta tions who find motorists in pos session of unendorsed coupons will eilc (hem to appear at OPA district offices, where officials may remove coupons from the "A" hooks. Brown added. KRNR Mutual Broadcasting System, 1490 Kilocycles. REMAINING HOURS TODAY BEST BETS FOR TODAV TUESDAY 7:30 Boy's Town. 8:00 Health Talk, Dr. Wain scott. 8:45 Sinfonietta.
