Court Martial of Kimmel, Short is Still in Abeyance WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 AP The navy, asked about publish ed reports that Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel Is request ing Immediate trial by court mar tial, said that no letter had been received up to mid-morning. He was naval commander at Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japa nese attack. At Denver, Colonel Harry Leonard, marine corps, who re ported he had been retained by Kimmel as counsel, said a letter had been written last week hut de clined to discuss Its contents, re ferring queries to Secretary of the Navy Knox. Kimmel now associated with a New York engineering firm, was not available at his New York office for comment on the re ports. On October 2, the war depart ment announced that Kimmel and Lieutenant General Walter C. Short, the former army com mnnder at Hawaii, also awaiting court martial, had "voluntarily agreed to waive the statute of limitations" for the duration and six months thereafter. If this statute became operative, the government might find It Impos sible to try either man after next December 7. when the two-year statute of limitations expires. The court martial of the two men was ordered after a presi dential commission, making an Investigation of the situation at Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack, made its report. Both men, relieved of their commands In the Pacific, asked for and received retirement from active duty. They now have posi tions with private firms .

LONDON, Oct. 13.-AP) -Prime Minister Churchill ob served in commons today: "As soon as the war Is over the soldiers will leave off fight ing and the politicians will be gin." "Perhaps that Is rather a pity," he added, speaking of Great Britain, "but at any rate It is not so bad as the example of some other countries which I would not venture to name where the soldiers are fighting abroad and the politicians are fighting at home with equal vigor and ferocity." OUT OUR WAY hikers, Freeman Holland, 37, ot Mowlch, Ore., was reported in se rious condition in a Boise hospi tal today.

COEN LUMBER COMPANY' Phone 121 from their home land. Mr. Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin said it was understood that "nothing can detract from the absolute and untrammclej right of the people of Italv by constitutional means to decide on tile democratic form of govern ment they will eventually have." Nazi Savagery Cited In his proclamation to all Hal iens, B.idoclio recalled that when tht; armistice was signed, his gov ernment ordered Italian troops to remain with their aims at rest hut prepared to typcl any act ot violence from any source. "With a synchronized action, which clearly reversed an order previously given by some high authority," Hadogho said. "Or man troops compelled some of our units to disarm, while, in most cases, they proceeded to a decisive attack against our troops, lint German arrogance and ferocity did not stop here. "We had already seen some examples of their behavior in the abuses of power, robbery, and violence of all kinds perpe trated in Catania while they were still our allies. Even more savage incidents against our unarmed populations took place in Cala bria, in the I'liglle and in the area of Salerno. "lint where the ferocity of the entity surpassed every limit of the human Imagination was at Naples. The heroic population of that city, which for weeks sill fried every form of torment, strongly cooperated with Ihe Anglo-American troops in putting the lulled Germans to flight. "Italians! There will not be peace in Italy as. long as a sin gle German remains upon our soil." Koosevrlt, Churchill and Stalin I also spoke of "brutal maltreat ment by the Germans of the Ital ian population," which, coupled with military events since Sep tember (), culminated in Italy: declaration of war. NAZI WEAKNESS SHOWN IN PORTUGAL'S ACTION LONDON, Oct. 13-1AP) British newspapers, apparently reflecting the general opinion here, today hailed Portugals lion in granting Britain nava ind air bases in the Azores as another proof ol Germany's wan ing military strength. There was growing hope, too, that Eire, Turkey and other neu ral nations might follow Portu sal's example and extend milit ny facilities to the United Na tions. Britain and Turkey an narties to a trealv similar to the 570-year-old Portuguese-British leieement under which yester day's aciion was taken. Discussing the developments. which strengthens the allies con trol over vital sea routes from lie United Stales to Europe and the Mediterranean, the London lieilv Mail said: "This is an act against d many which would have been fol lowed hy swift and terrible re irisals. Portugal still may not es cane unscathed. But the day when Hitler merely Ivid to threa ten and people bowed to his will has passed." The German radio, meanwhile, uttemoted to minimize the tin- oortance of Portugal's action, savimr it was belived in Berlin that the general course of Por tuguese foreign policy would not be affected hv the agreement and intimating it had been made "under pressure". Italy's Move Second Of Kind in Two Wars (Continued from page 1) to take tin arms. She remained neutral for 10 months, then came into the war on the side of the allies and par ticipated as one of the "big four" in the treaty of Versailles. Italy's part in the present war has been filled with defeats and increasing German domination. Theoretically an equal partner if the axis at the outbreak of t A PARTICULAR PLACE j IN PUBLIC ESTEEM .

Italy's casualties while fighting at the side of Germany were considerable, although nothing like those suffered by Germany on the Russian front, and a total of nearly 1,000,000 Italian prison ers now are in allied prison 'camps. The split with Germany began July 25 when Mussolini was oust ed from power and placed under guard by the Badoglio govern ment, only to be liberated by the nazis who immediately set him up in business again as head of a puppet "republican fascist" gov ernment. Navy Chief Contribution Italy's chief contribution to the allied forces would be her navy. More than 100 fine warships are in allied hands and these could be hurled with effect against ihe Japanese or against German sub marines. The allies hold at least five battleships, nine cruisers, 27 destroyers, 25 submarines and numerous lesser craft. Experienc ed crews, familiar with the Ital ian ships, are needed. a-. U!U Mn nn.,1.1 muster would be valuable for be- hind-thelines duties, releasing! allied troops for front line com bat. Some Italian troops and war ships already have been in ac tion against the Germans. The allies have driven the Ger mans from about a third of Italy, j but the enemy holds Home and i the important industrial areas i and air fields In the north. j On Battle Fronts Advances were made today in the central Italian mountain ! pine. The American Fifth army deployed on the flooded Volturno mil Calore rivers, 20 miles north i of Naples, consolidated their posi- tions and probed the strong Ger-; man lines. Naples harbor was j placed in commission, the Cairo radio said. I Allied planes bombed Rhodes I Hid Cos in the Dodecanese and ' other planes attacked German j communications in Italy. : Advancing nine miles in the I central Italian mountains, allied troops captured San Croce, 20 miles north of Benevento and 121 miles southeast of Rome. The Eighth army moved ahead I on its entire front extended in-1 land from the Adriatic and cap- I lured Hiccla, eight miles north east of San Croce. They also took lionefro. Advances were made four miles beyond Termoli. which lies east and slightly north of Rome. t he Algiers radio said Ger many had dispatched new- divisions into Prance .fearing in vasion.

He recommended that a plan ning committee be set up to plan postwar projects for Douglas county. This committee, he sug gested, should formulate a list of projects, rank'ng them in the order of importance. The devel opment should not be confined to municipalities alone, but should Include rural areas, par ticularly school districts. Parking Space Important. Mr. Tugman reported that a most careful study had been made In Eugene relative to the advantages and disadvantages of maintaining a compact business district. It has been learned from experiences in other cities, he de clared, that It "Is a tragedy to have business districts shifting." ,On the basis of Its findings, he said, Lugeno is planning to clear entire city blocks in various sec lions adjacent to the business dis trict to provide parking space off I resentatives of the chamber of the streets'. It has been found ! commerce, county court and city by the committee that persons coming to the city to trade will spend considerably more money if they have unlimited parking time. "A city, like an Individual, needs to be well dressed," Tug- man said. "Parks, playgrounds and good schools make a more satisfied and permanent popula-' Hon. Better living conditions exert a powerful Influence on in dustrial relations." School Needs Stressed. i He urged that careful thought be given the acquisition of large ! tracts of lands surrounding 1 schools to provide athletic and i recreational facilities, as well as space for school expansion. Su- pervised athletics and recreation ' are educational and should be the I responsibility of the school dis-1 tricts, he said. He urged that Roseburg con sider a scenic drive following the ridge of the hills cast of town, j This, he said, could be made an 1 inexpensive project and would ' furnish a new park area. j The meeting, attended by rep- council, took no formal action, but it was left to the chamber of commerce to organize a planning committee consisting of a repre sentative group, to make a fur ther study of the proposals.

I "Jimmy Will be Proud of You, Sis" Funny what a girl learns about herself and her big brother, after he goes away to war. Part of each other through the years, playing, quarreling, teasing . . . never lai apart. Then that queer, flat, lost feeling when you started to set Jimmy's place at dinner, and remembered he wouldn't be home that night, and you didn't know where he was. You realize now that you and Jimmy rated tops with each other, always even when you quarreled. Against the rest of the world, you backed each other to the limit. It's the same now. Jimmy's out there fighting for you . . . and you're beside him. For if he's injured in action the nurse who takes care of him will be there because you and other Nurse's Aides took over hcrjub here. Proud of you? why, the way you and all the rest of his family arc back ing him and his buddies makes Jimmy the proudest man in his whole outfit. Are you a CITIZEN SOLDIER? Nurse's Aides are Citizen Soldiers. So are Auxiliary Policemen, Air R.u'J Wardens and other Civilian Defense workers, members of the Red Cross Motor Corps and the Coast Guard Port Security Force, blood donors and the thousands of others actively working in one or more of the scores of vital home front services. Most of these services are in urgent need of more volunteers. If you are not doing all you possibly can to back up our fighting men, enlist today. Be a Citizen Soldier. Uncle Sam Comes First Uncle Sam now gets first call on all we produce, and war demands will increase during coming months. The effects of these demands, on the prod ucts and service we are able to offer you, will be increasingly evident. We want you to know this and the reasons for it.
