It Is to bo presumed that the Germans ore preparing an all out defense line, extending from tile Carputhlans to the mouths of the Danube, where they propose to stand and fight for the Ploestl oil fields.

This is the most DIRECT help we have yet been able to give lo (he Russians. IN addition, there is the Balkun back door, through Yugoslavia, which Tito has been valiantly MOLDING OPEN. By means of this back door, we MIGHT at any moment crash Into the German rear In eastern Yugoslavia and western Rumania while the Rus sians are battering the German fi-ont further down the Danube.

Stanton - ! i WENDELL WILLKIE has withdrawn from the presidential race, as a result of the blow suffered in the Wisconsin primary election. Thus Dewey may be expected to carry -the G. O. P. banner in November with but little opposition, except from the Old Guard and isolationists, who knowj the New York governor will not conform to the reactionary j policies they advocate. Dewey's action in playing hard-to-1 get may not be overly popular, but it is smart political j strategy, for, by avoiding a showdown and possible setback, j such as VVillkie received, he is in a favorable position forj "draft" by the convention. j i A good many political observers have been pointing out recently that the republicans cannot expect to win by nomi nating just 'any" candidate. The scope of republican vic tories in gubernatorial and congressional elections has stirred strong hopes in the hearts of many party leaders. Some of the more optimistic aeem lo feel that, because the trend is so definitely away from the New Deal and a fourth term, any republican can win. The republicans must remember, however, they are faced by a one-man party. President Roosevelt, although wearing the title, is not an advocate of the principles of the demo cratic party. The party of which he is the titular leader was founded upon the tenets of state rights and constitu tional government policies which have been consistently disregarded by the president and his brain trusters. Presi dent Roosevelt has been elected in the past entirely upon the basis of individual personality. Platforms and pre-election promises have been treated as lightly as European peace pacts. He is strictly a one-man party who commands votes by personal charm. To defeat Roosevelt, the republicans must either find an individual with personality appeal equal to that of Roose velt or else must produce a positive program together with a candidate who embodies both acceptable personality and es tablished reputation for ability to vitalize the party plat form. Willkie was the candidate witli personality. He had voter appeal. l!ut the Wisconsin election dulled the lustre. Dewey, on the other hand, has good personality, coupled with a political background which induces voter confidence. Roosevelt, too, is likely to have some of the polish knock ed off at the democratic nominating convention. Party tides are running so strongly against him, some observers feel he may not ehoose to be a candidate. The supreme court decision on Negro voting is apt to prove a boomerang. The solid democratic South is not for getting the packing processus by which the supreme court became a New Dettl agent. The reversal of previous deci sions will be construed in the South strictly as a trick to corral the Negro vote. The New Deal policy has been to create domestic factions and to retain favor with .sufficient ofJJiese factions Ip slay in povyer while dividing j-enuiining groups, 'piling them one aganst the other. The hope for a fourth term now lies largely with the labor vote and the Negro vote. No mutter what our opinion may be concerning the ethics of the South's altitude toward the Negro, it is cer tain that every effort will be put forth in those states to maintain white supremacy, and President Roosevelt un doubtedly will receive opposition from southern delegates lo the nominating convention. The South lacks sufficient strength to control the nomi nation, but a united opposition might so seriously affect the fourth term chances that the convention would settle upon another candidate. In such case, the New Deal would be as dead as last year's corn husks and the November election would return to the desirable status of a two-party fight. line approaches the high moun tain barrier over which we are now PLYING supplies tor the Chinese while we labor vigorous ly to cut through another road to take the place ol the Burma road.

State. Press Comment SHOULD BE REELECTED (Grants Pass Courier) First member of congress to represent the newly formed Fourth district of Oregon, Harris Ellsworth, of Roseburg, is com pleting his two-year term of of fice and has filed for reelection on a platform that should appeal to every voter; namely, "Contin ucd hard work and sound Judg ment on district needs and na tional problems." The Courier believes that Con gressman Ellsworth has accom plished more than anyone could have expected during his first term in congress and has made a record of which both the con gressman and his district may well be proud. He has gained na tional recognition as a hard worker for his state and his dis trict and as a man of sound Judg ment and courageous action. True to his conviction that a congressman must be a worker ir. the Interests of his constitu ents, Representative Ellsworth will remain on the job at Wash ington as long as congress is in session and therefore does not plan to make a personal cam paign before the primaries. Congressman Ellsworth has sought to become a specialist in several matters of vital interest to Oregon and the Fourth dis trict, particularly in the utiliza tion of waste wood in the lumber Industry through the making of industrial alcohol and byproducts such as yeast and protein feed for livestock. Through his persist ent efforts tho program for mak ing alcohol from wood waste Is now a recognized project, with a plant soon to be erected to con vert this waste material into the vitully needed war product. Of greatest Interest to the Fourfh district are the future well being of the mining. Indus try and the efficient handling of public lands. Congressman Ells worth has served on the commit tees of congress that have charge of both these important subjects. Only a few days ago he was in strumental in steering through the house of representatives the bill for sustained yield of Oregon forests which provides for sus tained yield management of the forests to the eqd that lumbering may be a permanent industry and not merely a process of strip ping the forest and leaving ghost towns in its wake as It moves on to other localities. When a man in public office is known to be dependable, sound in Judgment, honest, energetic and a hRi-d workers for his constitu ency, the voters do well indeed to continue him in office. The de scription fits Congressman Ells worth. The Courier earnestly rec ommends his nomination at the primaries and his reelection in November.

ADMISSION Gentlemen Ladies Fisherman Wins Hot Bout With 19 Sea Lions .ASTORIA, Ore., April 6. j (AP) Henry Jorgcnsen held onj to his salmon catches for 28 years and he wasn't going to lose one to sea lions. So when the veteran Astoria deep-sea fisherman found two sea lions trying to board his deep sea trailer, anchored 10 miles off Long Beach, Wash., he pushed them off. But a few minutes later they were back again with 17 rein forcements. While he fought a los ing battle at the stern for over an hour with his only weapon, a pfke pole, tho leader climbed over the bow and waddled toward the sal mon, filed on the deck. Then Jorgensen lost his temper. He knocked the 12-foot animal off the vessel with a tremendous thrust of the pole. It swam away. So after an hour and a half of battling did the other 18.

Escaped Oregon Convict Surrenders Near Capitol SALEM, Ore., April 5 (API Wayne Lcroy Long, 19, state pris on convict who escaped yesterday by crashing a truck through a prison gate, gave himself up to Salem police early today. He re fused to tell police where he had been. Long surrendered himself to prowl car officers near the state cr.pitol. City Manager Attempt Is Revived at Salem SALEM, Ore., April 5 (AP) The Salem junior chamber of commerce, irked by the city coun cil's failure to put a proposed city manager plan on the pri mary election ballot, announced today it would distribute peti tions to place the measure before the voters. moot. "I am deeply grateful for the honor Governor Snell conferred upon me and tho confidence which he has shown In my ability to carry on; I shall do my best. Whether I am called upon fur ther to serve is for the decision of the people of Oregon." The above from Guy Cordon's candidacy announcement, is worth reprinting for it so char acteristic of the man, and such sound political doctrine. Characteristic for Oregon's new senator is a very modest per son. He has worked his way up in life with help from no one, and he- has that innute combina tion of humility and dignity and self-respect which, where the ma terial is of the right stuff, such a strenuous experience brings. But give him something to do, and if it CAN be done, he will do it. As remarked before, given a FAIR chance, we believe Guy Cordon will develop into one of the best senators,- Oregon has ever had. And to our mind this announce ment indicates it. As long as the war lasts Sena tor Cordon can be depended upon to loyally support the present ad ministrationalways place the weifare and security of his coun try above HIS party or any other. But the war once over, Ore gon's Junior senator can be de pended upon to do everything in his power to not only remove the war debris, but to remove the war's political psychology; get the ship of state back on an even keel, with personal liberty and free initiative restored again. Quite properly he doesn't ask for votes or political support at this time. He merely asks for the CHANCE to show the people In the next eight months what he can do; let them decide, on the basis of his record, brief as it must be, whether they wish his services terminated or continued.
