Ceiling Price On
Milk "Too High,"
Group Complains
PORTLAND, Auk 21 (AP)
An organization calling Itself
Milk Committees Consolidated
today announced It had written
the Oregon congress delegation
asking support ot OPA efforts to
keep down the cost of living, in
cluding Milk costs.
Jessie M. Short, chairman,
said the Letters 10 congressmen
urged that the OPA he continued
as the price-governing hody. The
committees do not want the func
tion transferred to the agricul
ture department.
The committees contend I hat
"ceiling prices of milk In this
area were unlustifiahly high
.when established" and that prices
in the last two years to local
milk producers have been Increas
ed 65 to 100 per cent which is
"far in advance of the 'general
local living cost Increase of 28
per cent." They also claim that
the situation facing the milk
industry does not differ from that
lacing practically every other in
dustrya situation "not rcmedl-
ed by any single price increase."
The committees contend that
"impartial auditors for OPA"
have proved that "dairymen are
still making money."
The letters said nothing of the
protest by grocers at The Dalles,
Redmond and Bend against OPA
lowering the retail margin on
Milk to what the grocers contend
is 50 per cent below the cost of
doing business.
Policemen Save 5
Persons From Fire
PORTLAND, Aug. 21. 'API
Two policemen rescued five per
sons from a flaming residence to
day. A taxi driver told Patrolmen L.
E. Leitheiser and H. E. Hogue
that the home of Mrs. Esther
Johnson was afire. They notified
the lire department and went to
the house.
The officers climbed to n second-story
porch and carried Mrs.
Johnson's three children, two
girls and a boy, ranging In age
from 13 to lfi, and a girl frientl
of the Johnson girls to safety.
The policemen then broke down a
door and led F. West, a roomer

Mrs. Johnson was away from
home at the time.

Germans Unable
To Use Captured
Flying Fortresses

Aug 21 -(API -German airmen

Flying Fortresses alongside our
formations over Fiance and Ger
many, but thus far base made
no attempt to Interfere with
American operations, it was dis
closed here today.
What the enemy's plan is has
not emerged - perhaps the hope
Is to sneak one or more ships In
to the raiding squadrons and op
en the guns against all those
about.
The American system of iden
tifying Fortresses among each
other is being changed at irreg
ular intervals, however, and t he
formations fly so closely togeth
er that there Is little opportunity
for a successful effort to sneak
Into them.
So far the German-flown cap
tives have been kept a good dis
tance away.
The .SO caliber ammunition of
the type used by the Fortresses
is not manufactured in Germany
and If the enemy ittempted to
change the guns and mounts in
the captured ships it would he
a mstly and doubtful business.
The use of one Fortress to at
tack another also Is not very fea
sible iM'cause the fourenglned
bomber is not designed for that
work.
The Americans lost about -I."i0

20 per cent could be put Inlo op

The unopposed conquest of
Kiska was carried out by Cana

direct command of Vice Admir
al Thomas C. Kinkaid, command
er of the North Pacific fleet, with
guidance from Admiral Nimitz,
commander In chief of the Pa
cific fleet.
Costly Blow to Japan
Kiska's fall could rate as one
of Japan's more expensive de
feats, for in addition to estab
lishing a large garrison on the
island, the Japanese had poured
supplies for months before the
blockade became sufficiently ef
fective so that the only materials
received were those smuggled by
submarines.
It was costly, also, in ship loss
es, for 20 warships and 30 non
combatant vessels were sunk,
probably sunk or damaged in the
Aleutians.
Of the combatant ships put out
of action, seven destroyers were
sunk, three probably sunk, and
five damaged. Seven cruisers
were damaged, one submarine
probably was lost and three were
damaged. Two other warships
undesignated by type were sent
to the bottom and one was dam
aged. The non-combatant ship loss-

Tokyo's Peril Increased. jj
How Kiska will be used by the
allied forces already has been In
dicated in action. Three times In
recent weeks bombers of the Aleu
tians command struck at Para
mushlro, northernmost Japanese
base in the Kurlle islands, a thou
sand miles from Kiska.
These raids were trail blazers,
nocntin the evil weather for
which the Aleutians are notorious,
many more will follow in the
months to come as the campaign
in the north is coordinated with
the blows against the opposite arc
of the Japanese defense perimeter
in the Southwest Pacific. Eventu
ally it is expected that Tokyo
itself will be raided by long
range bombers from the Aleu
tians and American naval forces,
already dominant in the North
Pacific, may strike at enemy
bases vulnerable from the sea
