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. Cprtntn

tourists who are interested principally in scenic unil his
torical spots. Tours could be outlined to fit the time the
visitor had availableand costs of guides, accommodations,
travel, etc., could be calculated and advertised in advance.
Such service doubtloss would servo to draw thousands of
out of state visitors who, otherwise, would speed through
me state anu see little except highway billboards.
Wo have nothing to buy," asserts Mr. Tavlor. "our ioh
is to sell. "We need only to preserve the crnat vpsnnrpps
we have, to add to them through natural process and then
to show good western hospitality by inviting our friends
lom ino neighboring states to come and enjoy our recrea
ion with us and help them in planning their trios so thov
can get the most enjoyment for the least cost."
laylor, incidentally, is particularly interostprl i
tho district, once it is formed, build and devolon trails ,nf.n
wilderness areas where nature in primitive form may be
enjoyed oy ine more lianly of the tourists. Such a feature,
he believes, because it is available in so few states, would be
an exceptional drawing card. i , .

well justified. '

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.
