Win Over Medford
Loomis, Roschurg's six and a
half foot center, found the range
of the Medford basket Saturday
night and laid howitzer shots
over the air tight zone defense to
lead the Indians to a 31-to-24 vie
lory over Medford, giving an
even break In the two-game bas
ketball scries. Medford won Fri
day night's game 33 to 30 In an
overtime period. Loomis connect
ed for ehjtht baskets, nearly all
from long range, and tossed four
out of six foul shots to garner 20
Of Roseburg s 31 points
The conlpst was almost a dup
licate of Friday night's nlp-and
luck battle until midway In the
last quarter, when Loomis put Ihe
game on Ice With his expert
marksmnnshlp.
Medford started the scoring
and stayed out In front for the
first quarter, after Roseburg had
tied twice at 2-nll and 4-all. The
visitors had a lfMo-6 lead going
Into the second period, hut the
Indians tied the game at 14-14
and pulled ahead 19 to 15 at half
time. The third period saw a
strong Medford rally In which
the score was tied at 21-21, as the
game went Into the final quar
ter. After another tie at 23-all,
Roseburg went out In front and
rapidly pulled away to a well-
earned victory, coasting through
Ihe last few minutes of play,
The Indians found early in the
game that they could not pene
trate the shifting zone defense
cleverly maintained by Medford.
Cummlngs and Loomis started
lung range shooting, and It quick
ly developed that Loomis was
"hot", lie was maneuvered Into
postlon while his teammates fed
him the ball which he plunked
through the basket lime and
again from outside the front wall
of the defense.
Nordwlck, fast-breaking for
ward for the Medford team, was
high scorer for the visitors with
10 points.
The Indians will play two non-
conference games at home this
week, meeting Springfield Friday
night and Marsh Hold Saturday
night. Results will not count In

SELLING DEMOCRACY
By Charles
IT a time when we are trying to impress the -world with
" the superiority of democracy over rival ideologies in gov
ernment, the political chicanery in our national capital i
particularly untimely. Our men are fighting and dying on
the battlefields for the purpose of destroying totalitarian
governments.1 !Ve are extolling the virtues of freedom un
der a democratic form of political control, but if we place
ourselves in the state of mind of a European groping for
knowledge concerning governmental forms to replace the
wrecks to be left after the
hibit now being offered at Washington, we would select any
thing like the U. S. pattern.
When we see an administration and a congress, which
should be pulling together as
solidarity to bring the war to
sion, trying to outtrick one
game, we can look upon the
Tnke, as an example, the

is standing alone, defying congress, to give the service men
an opportunity to vote. The administration propagandists
are out with the smear buckets to paint congress in the
most lurid of colors. The president's "stand up and be
counted" challenge was a particularly clever political arti
fice; it slumped terrifically when congress took the dare.

We doubt if a single congressman is opposed to placing
ballots in the hands of service men. But congress has gone
to the opposite extreme. The poll lax issue is injected into
the controversy. The "states' rights" exponents are, in
some cases making themselves ridiculous with the demands
that the ballot to. the soldier must include every candidate
down to dog-catcher. ,
Instead of the president .and
a sincero and honest effort to work out a logical plan which
would meet constitutional requirements, both are going to
extremes, permitting political maneuvering and strategem
to outweigh the paramount issue.
The administration and congress are playing political
ping-pong with tax legislation, labor control, wage adjust
ment and subsidies. Instead of conducting the game with a
semblance of teamwork and

to the Editor
COMMENDS EDITORIAL ON
SUSTAINED TIMBER YIELD
Editor News-Review: ;
Permit me to compliment you
for again "ringing the bell" in
your editorial of December 16,
1943, "A Timely Warning". Your
comments on the opportunity and
the need for maintaining a per
petual timber crop In Douglas
county are timely and well stat
ed. After mills have been Installed
with a normal capacity In excess
of the sustained yield cutting
budget, some of the mills, and in
extreme cases all of them, will be
shut down sooner or later due to
the lack of timber. This is In
evitable when forest depletion
exceeds usuable growth In the
area upon which the mills are
dependent lor their stumpage.
Unnecessary waste, Inadequate
provisions for reforestation and
loss of mature timber and young
growth by fire 'or Insects and
disease) often widen the cap be
tween depletion and usable
growth, but excess cutting con
stitutes the main obstacle to the
maintenance of what you have
called, very aptly, a perpetual
timber crop.
The Annual Report ot the
Chief of the Forest Service ad
vocates measures which will aid
In the rehabilitation of forest
lands which have suffered from
lack of sound management
well as enable communities, such
as in Douglas county, to obtain
the maximum long-time bene
fits from virtually untouched re
sources of merchantable timber.
The nation, as a whole, needs
a forest program to correct past
mistakes. However, as your edi
torial points out, Douglas coun
ty requires only preventative
measures instead of curative.
I hope that in your editorials
you will continue to point out the
urgent need for action to insure
that the forests of Douglas coun
ty will sustain a permanent for
est industry.
WOULD DROP BOMBS ON
VOLCANOES IN JAPAN
EDITOR NEWS-REVIEW:
I read with horror the way our
people were treated by the Japa
nese at Bataan and Corregidor,
as reported by the United States
government. And when I think
there are people In America who
would willingly allow the Japa
nose to reestablish their home
here, It makes my blond boll.
After Jimmie Doolittle made
his successful bombing raid on
Japajv I wrote the War depart
ment at Washington, D. C, stat
ing that if a few heavy bombs
were dropped on the volcanoes in
Japan, the war would soon end.
In June, 1943, Sheila Carter
stated in a news broadcast over
the radio that some one had writ
ten that suggestion, but the war
I department did not think it ad
visable. She said God made all
things tor some use and that
would be a good use to put those
volcanoes to killing Japs.
God made those volcanoes to
kill Japs and used them very suc
cessfully many times, mostly in
periods of ten years, but eleven
years have now rolled around and
God has left the job for the
Americans and their allies.
I say, let us all bombard the
War department with letters or
telegrams to bomb Japan's vol
canoes and get that hot lava
flowing and this terrible war will
end and save the lives of our
boys.
The Japanese arc more afraid
of the volcanoes in Japan than
they are of all the guns and
bombs we can manufacture. It is
an enemy they cannot fight.
