It sounds Interesting, but you'd better keep, your fingers crossed, tt may be Just unother device to tool the Germans. . You'll ho reasonably safc U you believe NOTHING MUCH you read or hear In the next low weeks. 40SCQW reports that the Ger mans are uttaeklng. In what. lit described, us a, "tierce struggle", the Russian bridgehead over the, Dncsti:. If so, they're striking to prevent the Russians, (torn get ting mora troops Into Romania for their Impending attack at the Gnlntl gap east of Bucharest. The Russians say that In two days they have "knocked, out" 4,000 Germans and 100 tanks. A Moscow dispatch, Incidentally, reports that the most popular pastime there Is LAYING BETS on the exact hour at which allied forces will land on the western shores of Hitler's Europe. (Some what as Alaskans bet on the ex act hour .at which the Yukon Ice will break up in the spring.) Thai's a new slant on the Rus sians, Wo ought to be able to get along with a people like that. OUR planes have attacked five German synthetic gasoline plants. The German fighters CAME OUT IN FORCE. ( It's ob. vious Hitler can't afford to lose uny gasoline.) ' We lost 42 bombers and ten fighters, but knocked down 150 German fighters. FRIDAY night a French destroy er ran Into a STRONG FORCE of German Kboats only 23 miles southeast of the Isle of Wight and waded Into them, hitting two. The rest escaped in a smoke screen. The Isle ot Wight lies just off England's southern coast which means that the Nazi E bonis were fai; over into OUR TERRITORY, trying to find, out something about our invasion plans. THE. gi.avlly of the news from China Increases by l he day. The JapR mo now reported only 75 miles from Tungkwnn, which is the gateway to the mountain passes leading to Chungking. They, are using in creasing numbers of tanks and armored cars against the Chinese who have nothing heavier than rifles to fight back with. IN northern Burma, Stillwell's Chinese font's (well-armed -ami Jully equipped by us) have o' ed what seems lo be u MAJOR DRIVE on, Miigauna and M.v itkylna, the .lap bases guarding the central Burma road that are our objectives In this Burma fighting. Stllwell is said to be launching his attack on a two-mile front Willi tank, dive bomber and ar tillery support.

Announcement that Congressman Harris Ellsworth, with the assistance of his good friend, J. S. Senator Guy Cordon, has at lust won the fight to introduce production of commercial alcohol from woodi waste is most welcome news to all of Oregon. The first plant is to be built at Springfield, and is ex pected to be followed by a greatly increased program, which will, provide five to eight similar, plants, at least one and probably more, being projected for .Douglas county. 'The delay in getting the project unden iway is already the subject for inquiry by the Department of Justice,, which is seeking to determine whether pressure groups are re sponsible for failure to inaugurate needed, alcohol produc tion from waste materials at an earlier date. Initiation of the new process is alleged to have been opposed politically because of probable competition after the war for existing methods of producing alcohol from grain, molasses and synthetics. Congressman Ellsworth introduced his program shortly after he was elected to Congress two years ago, A somewhat siniilaj;- plan has been proposed for extracting alcohol from inedible sweet potatoes in southern states. Although the demand for industrial alcohol has been pyramiding, because of use in manufacture of synthetic rubber and other vital war products, federal agencies have long delayed action which would provide for utilization of wood waste in. producing the quantities of alcohol needed. Iri .the meantime the nation's stockpile, which previously stbod, at 140,000,000 gallons, has dwindled to, approxi mately 55,000,000 gallons, according to a report from the Washington, bureau of the Chicago Journal of Commerce. Much time has been wasted in launching the nroiect. which the reduction, in reserve stocks indicates was of vital i importance to the nation. The Department of Justice isj now reported, to, be investigating the possible cartel char acter of the situation, while investigations in both the Sen ate and the House have been suggested to determine respon sibility for the delays. In the event such inquiries arc made, we may expect them, to. reveal that strong pressure was brought to bear by distilling interests and petroleum industries, having large investments which might bo impaired in the event large-scale production of alcohol, sugar, protein yeusts and feeds from wood waste is realized. During the period of- delay, millions of bushels of cer eals, which could have been used to feed starving popula tions, nave gone into alcohol production. Petroleum, which could, have been used to ease existing shortages for both military and civilian needs, has been converted into alcohol. Furthermore, there has been a tremendous waste of money, for production from wood waste i possible at a much less cost than by existing methods. The far .western and southern states are to be Jtept iu it sy-ealjed 'colonial economy if the industrial East has its way. In other words, we will produce the raw materials while the fcnnt.will do all the manufacturing, the dunart- ment in. which there is the greater profit. The West and ' boutli have resources fully equal to those of the East, but ' the fight which has been necessary to secure a start in,' commercial alcohol production, w an indication of what will ne laceel when we further attempt to break the industrial stranglehold clamped upon us for so. many years. Roseburg Boy In Crew of Bomber Captured by Japs . A description of the capture. of a, U. S. bomber crew which included, Walter R. Erskine, son of- Mr. and Mrs. Henry Erskine, 909, Cobb St., Roseburg, recently was broadcast from the, Tokyo radip. The broadcast concerned the plane on which Lieut. Rob ert Martlndale of Brownsville, Texas, was co-pilot, and the mes sage was recordedi by W. , K, Meadows of Grand Canyon, Ari zona, who forwarded the copy to Mrs. H. w. Meier ot Brownsville. !The, account was printed in the 'Brownsville Heraldi and, was for warded to the Erskine, family. ,PFC Walter Erskine, reported missing in action since Jan, 20, was engineer on the plane. The broadcast from Tokyo. was recorded, as follows; "This is a little story about Robert Martlndale of Browns ville, Tertas. After Robert com pleted his training- he went to San Francisco. He left San Fran cisco, andi, flew eight thousand miles to an island in the Pacific. He was flying over the Owen Stanley mountains when his plane was attacked by Japanese fliers. "Robert's plane was disabled and. he could not reach-his base. He was forced to attempt a landing. He looked, for a, level place to put his plane down, but everywhere there was nothing but jungles. He managed to head his plane out towards the sea and landed 1n the water. One of his companions sank immediate ly and was lost. The others got to their life raft and got it in flated, and started to row to. wards the island of New Guinea. But there was a very strong wind and current which made rowing difficult and they could not reach the island. They drifted, further out to sea, and finally reached another little Island. Hero, they were able to get a canoe and make their way back to New Guinea. - "The boys started through the jungles, trying , to make their way to their lines and 'reach their buddies, but on the way they ran into a Japanese patrol and they were taken prisoners, and are now in the Japanese camp at Tokyo."
