It will give' you some idea ot the massive size of our air war.) HEWS reports tell ot smooth seas and hot summer weather between England and the con tinent. All is still quiet oh the .Russian front. The Germans point out somewhat! shaltily that we've already passed one Invasion date when thp tides would be most favorable for us. ,'; The DATE will probably come whenever ALL conditions arc most favorable for us to hit Ger many hardest and most effective-' ly- THERE Is Btlll ho n6ws of ANY break In tho pro-German line up of the neutrals and the satel lites although we may be quite sure the diplomats are working feverishly. Whenever the neutrals and the satellites start jumping off the German band-wagon and makfhg a rush for ours you may be pretty certain the end is noaring. IN the, Pacific, we landed last Saturday on Biak island, larg est of tho Schoutens which we've been bombing for weeks. Biak has three airfields and there are about a dozen on the Schoutens altogether. Biak, 200 miles ON from Wadkc, Is 880 miles from the southern tip of the Philip pines and 600 from Pnlau, now Japan's most Important base In that general area. MacArthur suys Biak virtually CONCLUDES our campaign for New Guinea, all of that big Island being now within easy range of our bombers. THE Myitkyina fighting (whose objective is the cleuring of a land route into China) goes on slowly and bloodily against Jap suicide squads in dugouts. We're now within a half mile of the main railroad station. MEANWHILE the China dis patches say: "China's armies are fighting desperately on four fronts to thwart tho MOST AMBITIOUS Japanese offensives in seven years . . . Chungking authorities feel that China, beset In north and the east, may be entering the most critical period of her long conflict with the Japs." THE Jups are reported to be pushing down the Hankow railroad toward Changsha. A lit tle study of your map will leave little doubt , in your mind that their purpose Is to slice off the WHOLE PACIFIC COAST of China to head us off from using China as a base for attacking the Jap home islands. The Tokyo radio crows that in capturing Loyang the Japanese have "dealt allied plans for China based air offensive a mortal blow." GENERAL CHENN AULT (head ing our Chlna-besed air forces). WHAT IS OUR ANSWER? By Charles V. Stantoi WITHIN a few more days we will be starting the Fifth War Loan campaign. Americans will be asked to buy more bonds than ever before. A good many people are prob ably asking themselves, "how many bonds can I buy?" Per haps we have on our desk something to help answer that question, It is a story, "Jungle Hospital' written by Mur ray William Rogowitz, pharmacist mate third class of the United States navy. It came RogowitiS is a fellow corpsrriari of Tony Shukle, pharmacist mate first class, of Roseburg. Shukle, before entering mili tary service, worked for Mr. and Mrs. M. E.

Nr can we tell in full of the crudeness of the "surgery,"' the difficulties of getting water or of the work that went into that little hospital,- "nothing elabor ate, nothing shining just a cluster of green peeping out of a vast background of the same color waiting to help, with the aid of God, to ease some pain or save a life." "The doctors' and corpsmen fought back at the shadow whose blackness was darker than the night without. They slugged back with; all the professional skill arid meager equipment they could muster. Their bodies glistened under the glare of lights and those who wore their shirts had dark, spreading stains where sweat met fabric. Needles punctured rubber. Sterile water ran slowly into a yellow powder and, when the bottle was full of the yellow liquid, the plasma of a Michigan' farmer or an Alabama high school student poured into the vdln of a wounded warrior who had; to He on the floor because there was only one operating table. ; - "There were five, who upon arrival, had already been placed under the care of the Greatest of all Healers. They rested silently under the covering of dark brown blankets.

That Is all he said, and with his words the scoreboard went up to six. "I can't! say whore. I can't say when. But, with the coming of dawn, there were ten. "There is more than just ten shrouds out there. In that half-light of early morning are ten dark denuncia tions against every American who by petty and selfish deed , falls to fulfill' his role before those unseeing eyes.

Streamlined Tax Law Signed by Roosevelt WASHINGTON, May 30 (AP) President Roosevelt yesterday ap proved a' streamlined income tax law designed to simplify the an nual chore of making income tax returns for millions of taxpayers. The bill, hurried through con gress bn the heels of demands lor a simpler Incoma ta proce dure, eliminates the formal filing of returns for low income tax payers and makes the task easier for those in the upper brackets. The measure reached the Pres- dent lasf week. 'Beverage of Moderation When s A'... : OLYMPIA BREWING COMPANY, Future Rationing To Be More Rigid, Bowles Declares WASHINGTON, May 31 (AP) Rationing will be more rigid in the future, says Price Adminis trator Bowies', and it will apply to mdre commodities. And, on the other hand, there is word from the War Food Administration that so many eggs have been pur chased to support price levels, that some are to be converted into animal feed. The reason for the egg conver sion program, says Food Admin istrator Marvin Jones, is that tho "War Food Administration in tends to carry out the pledge of the government to farmers to support egg prices," and ees pur chases have reached such volume that storage space is inadequate. Because of unusually favorable weather, and other factors, a call by the WFA for increased egg production brought a supply wnicn outdistanced expectations. OPA Administrator Bowles gave no details of new rationing plans in store for civilians but he termed talk of relaxation "ri diculous," said more commodities may be affected in the future and added: : : "Any hope of relaxing would depend on the war being short and easy. If the war is tough, we'll have more and acuter short ages than we have ever seen be fore." From Deputy Administrator for Rationing- Charles F. Phillips comes the forecast that there may be "much tighter" meat rationing "six, eight or nine months from now." By SUSAN.

' 7.i the Water" The Original Light Table Beer Be1 sure not to overlook the new 10:45 program: "American Wom an's- Jury," on Thursday. Its a twice a week production, we haven't heard it yet, so can"t pass an opinion, but were sure of one thing if s got to be pretty good to come up to the Let"s Be Charming series with Sanderson and the Serenaders, that just fin ished for the same sponsor. Full Speed Ahead at 1:30 and Welcome Inn at 2 are bright spots in the afternoon, and then well we always like the Johnson Fam ily, and do we dare mention that we listen to Superman too? The net-work has suddenly decided that the kids ought to get a break on programming too ,so begin ning next week there's' a; brand new show coming on that follows right after Superman. Likewise 7:30 will be the children's hour, although not quite in the way Longfellow meant It, since we'll nave a roonn", tootln', gun sling in' show on every night at this time beginning next week.

Fake Gas Ration Racket Being Squelched, Claim WASHINGTON, May 31 (AP) -Federal agents are gaining" con trol of the menace created by the nation's biggest racket black market activities in counterfeit or stolen wartime ration coupons for gasoline Price Acmmlstrator Bowles declared yesterday. Jfroiesslonal criminals honey combing the country with smir- ious coupons which drain off pre cious petroleum products still must be "cleaned out." Bowles said, "but we are checking them." Seizure last week of two presses turning out counterfeit gasoline coupons in New York City and Charlotte, N. C, brings to seven the number of illicit presses put out of operation since .the middle of march, Bowles said. since the first of the year, he continued'; federal agents have smasned the major distributing gangs, arrested more than 1,300 coupon peddlers and obtained con victions in U. S. courts of every handler of counterfeit stamps whose case so far has come to trial. OLYMPIA WASHINGTON, U.S.A. Revolution Ousts Ecuador President QUITO; ' Ecuador, May 30 (AP) Dr. Carlos Arroyo Del Rio was a refugee in the U. S. embassy here today after resign ing the Ecuadorean presidency under pressure of revolutionists who seized power in Guayaquil and invited former President Ibarra to return from his' exile in Colombia. Ecuadorean troops, using tanks and backed by members of the Alianza democratica (democratic alliance) croup, gained control of Guayaquil, main commercial city and Pacific port, alter a iu hour battle yesterday in which more' than 40 persons were re ported killed and 200 wounded. The main resistance was by the Guayaquil police. The revolutionists said their motive was to forestall presiden tial elections, scheduled for next Friday and Saturday, which they said would be meaningless unless the exiled Ibarra was on hand to participate. A provisional junta was set up in Guayaquil to rule the city and quiet had been restored today. (Leaders of both factions have declared their support of Ecua dor's role In hemisphere solidar ity. , ' Strikes So For in f 944 Reveal Heavy Increase WASHINGTON, May 3ff-(AP) The number of strikes in the first four months of 1944 rose more than 42 per cent over the corresponding period of 1943, bu reau 6f labor statistics records showed today. The bureau reported that strikes beginning in April of this year totalled 435 and1 involved 155,000 workers, resulting in 580- 000 man-days of idleness, or .8 per cent of the available working tlme. 1 The April strikes, exceeding those of any of the three previous mdnths, brought the 1944 total to 1,455, compared with 1,024 in the first four months of 1943. The increase in the number of work ers involved, however, was not so great. The total for the 1943 'period was 423,184. This rose to 495,000 in the 1944 period. SPeSD VICTORY WITH - WAR BONDS
