The Germans, you know, can draw conclusions as well as we can, and we must remember that Churchill himself warned us a little while buck that, the' air will, be fuli of all kinds of rumors un til the Invasion actually starts. No one can know when one of these rumors MIGHT mislead the Germans and so give us an ad vantage. At least It doesn't cost anything to put them out. WASHINGTON announces thai our submarines have sunk an other Jap light ' cruiser and a couple ot destroyers "deep in enemy-controlled waters." This brings to 544 the number ot Jap ships sunk by our subs since Pearl Harbor, with ISO more HIT and damaged Ijadly. AT the same time, It Is an nounced that BRITISH subs have sunk a Jap destroyer and four other vessels In recent at tacks In ASIATIC waters. (One guesses that Asiatic waters In this case arc tho Indian ocean or the Bay of Bengal.) 'The Japs are beginning to feel the nip Ot the plncer. DEEP In Burma, the Japs have been desperately attacking the road block established some time ago by our air-borne commandos to the SOUTH of Mogaung and Myitkylna, the advanced Jap bases that General Slllwell is gunning for. Four attacks huve been made, and in these four tries the Japs have lost 1,000 killed. The point Is that If they' DON'T break the road block and open the fall line, Mogaung and Myitkylna will be cut off from supplies and so will fall to Stilwell. Myitkylna Is our present No. 1 goal In Burma, for If we can take It and HOI.P it we w III be on the way to reoK'nlng the Burma road to China. THE Japs are still making prog ress In their must recent drive against the Chinese up along the Yellow river. Thry are pushing steadily southward along the rail road that leads from l'elping clear down to Canton, on the China sea. ' They seem to be backing this drive with great force but lei's not lose faith in the plucky Chinese who, time and again, fighting with not much more than rifles and their bate hands, have stopped Jap offensives. Gen. Kai-Shek Prayed for Japs, Dr. Poling Stares PORTLAND, May S-(AP) Dr. Dan A. Poling, international Christian Endeavor president, says he has twice heard General issimo Chiang Kai-Shek pray tor the Japanese people.

During a score of years in newspaper work we have had opportunity to handle hundreds of proclamations by mayors, governors, presidents and others. in authority. But, though couclied in flowery language and devoted .to worthy purposes and causes, none has impressed us as much as the simple appeal made, by Roseburg' s mayor that the churches be thrown open to the public and that "people enter them and pray.', ' ' There comes a time in the life of every man when he has reached the limit of his own strength and finds' need for a power greater than mankind alone can supply, in that dark hour he reaches out for a supporting arm, a com: forting hand. Such a time wil come when the word, "invasion" flashes around the world. Knowing the desperate character of that UHjlo. we shudder with apprehension at each mention' of the word, yet, realizing it is a task which must be per formed, before peace can be restored to the world, we are impatient at delay. There will be hours and days of anxiety. Many .homes will be overwhelmed with grief and bereave ment;, i It will, indeed, be one of the '.'times that try men's souls'.M There may be some of us who have forgotten how to pray. There may be some who doubt the efficacy of prayer. But there, are multitudes who can testify to its power to com fort and. strengthen when all man-made artifices fail, ' The boys in the fpxholcs will be' praying. Testimonies from the' battle fronts tell of a new-found conviction in the souls of those who have gone out to do battle. A combined testament and prayer book is to be found with every life r,aft. ' Jleti afloat upon the high seas, do bpairing of rescue, have turned to prayer. ' "''. An army is supplied by practical-minded men. A life raft is stripped to bare essentials for existence for a limited time, but sharing a place with the meager, 'condensed ra tions is the '.'bread of life," which a hard-headed army has found an essential element in sustaining men who are at the mercy of providence. We read how Moses lifted his arms to heaven and as long as his hands made the symbol of supination, the Israelite's prevailed,' Aaron and Hur stood on either side to support his tiring arms until the battle was won. Throughout the land on invasion day prayers will ascend from churches, Jjrom homes, from offices and from the streets and crossroads. They will join and support those of the bo - who pray silently as they go forward to meet the leaden haiL t ; ," . , '. " ' S.'Wl.io knows what miracle may be wrought by the com bined petitions? Tho hiayor has asked the cooperation of. the churches and the people of Roseburg in the day of prayer. His authority extends only to the city limits, but we believe his sugges tion should be adopted in every village, town and city throughout the hind. It will uuruen oi waiting, will strengthen the spirit. "That power is prayer stupendous boon! To sinful be.intis yiv'n. It moves the mind omnipotent, That rules o'er earth and heav'n.'' America and not hatred or the enemy was motivating Ameslca's armed , forces, said while In Chungking he heard the Chinese general offer a prayer that "hate should not take possession ot the heart of China for the Japanese people."

The win left the Padres in a tie with the Rainiers for third plpce as San Francisco tumbled Los Angeles out of the upper half of the league standings by win ning, 5 to 2. It was their third straiEht victory over the aneels. I Portland, in second place, and .. Hollywood likewise made it three straight In the current series. Portland scored a 1 to 0 win over last place Sacramento ' while Hollywood won over Oakland, 9 to 4. Picretti of Portland registered his third shut-out of the season, allowing the Sacramento- squad only lour hits.

Ot course, by the lime this gets to print it will probably be raining again. Anyway, come Monday, something new is coming on the morning schedule. From 9:30 to 10 you'll get two fif)een minutc serial shows what's technically known as "Soap Operas", and something we haven't had for a long, long time. Both ot them sound good, but we'll all have to listen and pasu our verdict later. The only objection wo have to these shows Is that when you once start listening you're sunk. You can't leave them lay you Just have to know what's going to happen next. Better get the washing '-rted a little earlier on Monday so you won't miss them. Of course they're a fine way to make the ironing easy on Tuesday. In case you're worried about the Service Salute, you'll hear it on the 8:30 time In place of Hppy Joe and Ralph. From comments received, we've been led to believe that you won't miss them. Back to tonight's shows: don't forget its Double or Nothing night at 6:30 with the "Tars and Spars" cast as guests, Dale Car negie at 7 with a profile of our favorite humorist, Mark Twain, and our pet of pets. Name That Song at 8:30. We wish that some ot the other advertisers would take a leaf q,ut of their book and make their' commercials enter taining. But then, of course, ev ery show doesn't have Dud Wil liamson In the cast to do the com mercials, so perhaps it's Just as well. 9:00 Alka Seltzer Newt. 9:13 Stardust Serenade. 9:30 Human Adventure. 10:00 Old Fashioned Revival Hour.
