That goes far to guarantee the accuracy of the news. ADMIRAL NIMITZ tells US of our new-landings at Sajnan, In the southern Marianas. The JAPS say We're landing also In the BONINS, only 600 miles from Tokyo. As to that, we'll have to wait and see. It might be .lust a diver sion. It COULD be the real thing. Also It could bo just Jap moojv, Mine. i THE urea of Salpan Island Is 72 square miles. It is relatively flat. There are REPEATED ref erences in the dispatches to the fact that it would make a handy SUPER-FORTRESS BASE. B-29s hitting Japan from TWO Sides Would pose an added prob lem for the little yellow men. AS to Salpan, Nlmltz says: "The fighting is HEAVY, but good progress is being made against WELL ORGANIZED DEFENS ES." The Japs are using tanks, and it appears also that they are pretty well supplied with mobile artillery. The ground is open enough for maneuver fighting. In our landings we're using rocket guns ON OUR LANDING BARGES a new departure in landing tactics in the Pacific. ANOTHER point as to the Mari anas. They're on the Jap hop-sklp-aiidjump route for flying fighter planes Into the south Pu clfle. If we can block that route it will bo something. OK the fighting in Normandy, Eisenhower headquarters says: "All attempts by the enemy to gain the Initiative have been frustrated and his counter -attacks have been recllcd. Our striking power GROWS STEADILY. The Germans arc dancing, to our tunc." THE Russians have broken the SECOND Mannerlieim line, in Finland, advancing 25 miles In five days.

Fulton Lewis dismisses the Pacific phase with tho simple statement that "rightly or wrongly, the public doesn't rate the Pacific war tho European struggle." That statement may be perfectly true in the east and' middle west but it doesn't apply, we believe, to the Pacific coast. Here on the western slope our interests are in the Pacific". There are few people on the Pacific coast who have not noticed that the MacArthur communiques seldom fail to mention the tonnage positions, the weight being the high explosive loosed on people of the Pacific coast overlooked the picas of Pacific commanders for more men and ''"The Pacific coast has been onco embarked upon tho policy of ending the European phase first, we must stick realize that boys from Oregon, Washington and Cali fornia have been continuously in combat areas lunger than any troops in the history of reason why we have been impatient with delay in starting the second front.

Young's Bay Team, Dunham's Victors In Friday Games Softball fans saw plenty of action in Friday night's games, in which the Young's Bay team defeated the 'Roseburg Lumber company, 8 to 3, and Dunham's Transfer took the Olympia Sup ply by a score of 5 to 1. The Roseburg Lumber com pany rapped Chriscaden for eight hits, but airtight fielding pulled him out of the hole in two in nings. Blake, twirling for the Lumbermen, yielded only four hits, but his lack of control cost the game. Two sensational plays by Rice, leftfielder for the Transfermcn, beat the Olympia Supply. In the third Inning, bases loaded and two out, Rice raced into the ex treme left corner of the field to drag down a fly ball which would have cleaned the bases. In the fourth inning, with runners on second and third, Rice again made the third putout, when the batter lifted a short fly behind third base. The fielder made a running dive to take the ball only a few inches off the ground. Two games are scheduled for tonight, weather permitting. Summaries.
