New r0sMaaa4 from ege L We got ashore rather easily on Biak, but MacArthur's men there aye now meeting veteran Jap troops, brought In from. China. These veteran troops arc BACK' ED BY JAP TANKS. Quite a tank battle is developing. . To get at the airfields that are our objective on Blak, we're hav ing to follow a coastal road that Is DOMINATED by a plateau (the ancient' military advantage of SHOOTING DOWN) where the Japs have long-established gun positions and lines of fox holes. t ' - ' ,, , ; Our destroyers are shelling and our planes -are bombing these positions, but the Jap fire from Ihem CONTINUES. IN Chungking, a high Chinese official (corresponding roughly In Importance to a member ot our cabinet) says: "The Jap offensives in Honan and Hunan provnices, and OTH ERS which may develop soon elsewhere, have as their aim dividing China Into eastern and western halves. Tho situation is Indeed grave. These Jap offen sives seek to control completely the trunk rail lino from Hankow to Canton, to occupy or destroy NEWLY BUILT AIR BASES and to forestall uny future American Incursion along China's southern coast." THE Japs urc now only 40 miles from Changsha (which you can probably find on your map). They were 80 miles away at the lust report a few days ago, show ing the speed ot their advance. Changsha Is roughly 300 airline miles from Canton. The Japs ure reported unoffici ally to have massed 12 divisions for the Hankow-Canton smash nine of them above Changsha and the remaining three ut Can ' ton. Apparently they intend to drive UP from Canton to meet their drive coming DOWN from Cluingsha. THERE'S an Interesting minor note from the Russian front, where the Germans are reported to be uttacklng with "large forces of -tanks and infantry" in Ro mania. Watch it. The Germans might be HITTING FIRST. REEDSPORT OFFERS PLAN OUT OUR WAY By J. R. WIEIams By Charles V. Starrtos ftOUGLAS county residents will be hearing a great deal in " the next few months concerning the conservation and re creation district proposal, which is being developed at Reedsport. The plan originated with Frank H. Taylor, Reedsport hardware merchant and civic leader, and has been endorsed by the Reedsport chamber of cortynerce and direc tors of the Roseburg chamber. The program, we believe, is one that should be thoroughly elaborated and activated at the earliest possible date, although fruition must await the postwar period. A meeting will be held soon with the Douglas county court, chambers of commerce and civic groups from all municipal! ties, Douglas County Mounted police, Rod and Gun clubs, state legislators and other interested groups and individuals. This meeting is for the purpose of giving the idea thorough study and formulating a plan of action. At present the idea has only been set down as a sketch. Details remain to be filled in and color must be added. Even in the rough stage, however, the plan contains so much in the way of possibilities for future development that it is staggering to the imagnation. " ; " ' The first step probably will be to go before the legisla ture with a bill authorizing counties to set up districts of the type proposed, and granting permission for siich dis tricts to levy taxes. ; The next step would be to submit the proposal to voters who would accept or reject the district idea and, if approved, determine the amount of the tax to be levied and collected. The present plan is to raise approximately $45,000, an nually through a tax of one and' one-half mills. The district, which would .be headed by a board, of trus tees, would be empowered to develop public parks, picnic grounds and recreational areas. So much of our land adja cent to rivers is being bought up by private interests, who are excluding the public, that soon the fisherman or picnicker, who has been able to enjoy recreation almost anywhere, will be hard-pressed to get to a stream or to find a spot where a picnic lunch can be spread out in the shade. It would be one of the first objectives of the district to preserve access to fishing streams and to areas suitable for public recrea tional use. Reforestation of denuded lands would be another maior activity. Propagation of fish and game life, exclusive of state and federal agencies, but cooperating with both, would be one of the principal aims. Another important feature would be tho organization of tourist itineraries. Cooperation of hotels, camp grounds, resorts, etc., would be enlisted and tours manned out. as suring the tourist of accommodations at every stop. Those tours would be arranged on a basis of time, expense and character.

Such a feature, he believes, because it is available in so few states, would be an exceptional drawing card. i , .

Argument, Sentiment, Comment By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth Oregon District WASHINGTON, D. C, May 27 A peculiar situation developed in the debate over the passage of the War agencies appropriation bill in tho house yesterday. The bill was In reality a routine meas ure. The appropriations for the various war agencies, meaning the several federal offices that have been set up exclusively for war work, such as the War Pro duction board, the Office of War Information, etc. had been thor oughly considered and analyzed by the committee on appropria tions, and under ordinary cliv cumstances, very littje time would have been consumed' in considering the bill on tho floor of the house. - . ,? , Storm clouds gathered, Jiaw-. ever, when tho section, providing an appropriation of $500,000 for the Fair Employment. Practices committee was under considera tion. During this term of con gress, it has been a rule that ho other legislation shall be carried in bills that are strictly approprl tion bills. In other words, appro priation bills provide money for agencies and departments of gov ernment previously established by legislative action and it is not permitted to set up a new agency of any kind and appropriate for it in tho same bill. Upon reading the War agencies appropriations bill, It was discovered that lan guage in the section appropriat ing money for the FEPC also le galized tho executive orders creat ing it. The FEPC at present ex isting only by executive order thereby would be specifically au thorized by congress in the same paragraph of an appropriation bill which appropriated money for Its operation. ; An. amendment was offered striking out the entire FEPC sec tion. This amendment was bitter ly contested. The southern dem ocrats objected to the idea of creating a committee at all, whereas" objections by others were based solely on the grounds that the passage of a law creat ing the FEPC would be a sepa rate piece of legislation and should not be included in an ap propriation bill. The amendment was lost by a close margin and the- bill was passed by the house in. its original form. There is a rumor on the hill to the effect that the senate may strike out the FEPC section when It consid ers this bill. The post-war highway bill, which has been under considera tion for. several months by the roads, committee of the - ,houso, was supposedly slated to be re ported out, but a week ago it ran into some unexpected resis tance in the roads committee and Is now in the process of being re vised and reconsidered. A num ber ot representatives of state highway departments are here now conferring with members of the committee and are endeavor ing to secure committee action on the bill. I talked with Oregon State Highway Engineer R. H. Baldock yesterday about it. This bill is of considerable importance to the state of Oregon, and I am hopeful that the present difficul ties will be cleared up soon.. Officers of the Willamette Val ley Chemical company have been here all week arranging final de tails so that construction of the alcohol from wood-waste plant at Springfield can be started in the near future. Tho details are ap parently being worked out satis factorily and it seems likely that construction on tho plant will be gin soon.
