Vets Don't Want
To Liv6 Hear Japs,
Officer Declares
PORTLAND, May 10. (AP)
Lt. Col. Del C. Stannard, chief
medical officer of the 41st divi
sion declared today that soldiers
who contract tropical diseases will
recover rapidly upon return to
temperate climates.
The former Eugene doctor, who
went overseas in March, 1942,
said that "northwest troops, as
a whole, don't have anything to
worry about as far as the per
manence of these Pacific illnesses
are concerned."
Stannard told interviewers that
northwest veterans of the Pacific
do not want to find Japanese
here when they come home.
"These boys who have been in
contact with the Japs say, 'put
them back in the middle west if
you love them so, but we don't
want to live with them.' ", Stan
nard said. "They have found in
this war that the Jap cannot be
trusted."
Two Courses Seen
Open to Nazis in
Meeting Invasion
WASHINGTON, May 8. (AP)
German strategy makers are ex
pected here to face their most
fateful hour of decision about
a week perhaps e day or so
either way-from the time a full
scale allied invasion force hits
western Europe.
Their choice, as authorities
here 3ee it, will be that of gambl
ing for real victory by commit
ting all they have to an effort
to throw the invaders into the
sea, or attempting to stabilize
surrounding lines for a stale
mate. Despite the difficulties of am
phibious attack, the chances for
accomplishing actual landings
and establishing the beachheads
at reasonable cost are considered
good.
The time of crisis, for the nazis
as -well asfor Gen. Eisenhower's
forces, is expected in about six
or eight days when the Germans
have had time to assess the pow
er and main striking position of
of the allies.
Should the nazis believe it pos
sible to smash the beachhead or
beachheads completely, they may
be expected to use all their
strength to do it.
London dispatches apparently
based on authoritative informa
tion place enemy reserve strength
behind the western coast at 54
to 67 divisions. These should be
able to move swiftly with or
without railroads, since the Ger
mans must have made provision
against aerial destruction of their
rail centers.
The same considerations that
apply to the ultimate German
use of land forces apply as well
to their, air fleet.
The best-backed opinion is that
the nazis are hoarding fighter
plane strength against two alter
natives. If they see a change for
decision while the invasion is still
developing, they will throw it
Into action without restraint; oth
erwise they may seek to preserve
it as long as possible as a threat,
using the same "fleet in being"
strategy that the Japanese now
apply to their navy.
Oaks Snap Losing Streak
By Defeating Sactos
(By the Associated Press)
Back on their home grounds

at Hollywood, the Oakland
Acorns staged a seventh Inning,

Sacramento Solons 7 to 3, in the
only Coast league game played

Earl Porter, pitching for the
Solons, had yielded only three
hits and had a two run lead in
his favor when he blew up In the
seventh, walked four men and al
lowed a single and a double
which brought a total of six runs
in before has was removed from
the mound. One more run was
scored off Billy Babbit, his relief,
before the end of the inning.

ATLANTA, Gr., May 9. (AP)
A city detective and the county
sheriff questioned him and a

rest, said an aged, Harvard-edu
cated Negro today, but he "kept
at It" six weeks helping Negroes
to register as they sought voting
rights for Georgia's July 4 demo
cratic primary.
By his own count, George A.
Towns, retired Atlanta university
professor, influenced at least 1,
000 Negroes to register at the
Fulton county courthouse before
the deadline fell last night.
Negroes began registering by
scores "here and throughout
Georgia soon afteit the U. S.
supreme court decision that mem
bers of their race were eligible
to vote In the Texas democratic

Fulton county clerks estimated
that approximately 5,000 Negroes
andki-more vthan 60,000 white
votdrs had registered at deadline

WASHINGTON, May 10 (AP)
Legislation authorizing postwar
flood control work to cost $810,-

In the senate, the measure goes

Together the bills were hailed
by advocates as the first tangible
step in congress toward a pub

Opponents contended this was
not the time to authorize huge
