call off the robots If we'll slop
bombing Germany. Our answer,
largely put into words by the
British newspapers, Is a scornful
"NO period!"
The robots are coming over in
increasing numbers. Churchill is
expected to tell the house of com
mons about them soon. The Ger
mans boast that -they ,arei'mtmu
facturlng them In vast quantities,
(German boasts are never yery
rcuauie.;
THE Russians, flowing around
I Minsk on both sides, have cut
ALL the railroads leading into
the city which is supposed to
be defended by some 200,000 Ger
mans. ' ,
The Russians continue to tell of
Browing demoralization.. of. the
German armies around Minsk.
Moscow dispatches say: "Thou
sands of new German prisoners
are being taken. The forests
swarm with them. Toward eve
ning, the Germans crawl out of
the woods and Send delegations
to give themselves Up."
THE Moscow dispatches add:
"Often, where our troops have
surrounded the Germans, we find
the bodies of German officers
and men whom the Germans
themselves HAVE KILLED."
(That, if true, would mean in
stances of MUTINY in the Ger
man ranks.)
WE must be very caXitious in
deed about, accepting these
reports o German demoraliza
tion. JT they are borne out, they
will mean almost certanly the be
ginning of the German cud.
Similar mutinies in their arm
ed forces, both army and navy,
signaled the crumbling of Ger
man resistance in 1918.
So far, the Germans on the
eastern front have fought coolly,
bravely and skilfully. If their
morale REALLY IS breaking at
Minsk, It is a new development
of the utmost importance.
Let's be SURE of it before we
believe it.
IT Is announced officially that 19
German generals have been
killed or captured In less than a
jnonlh. Our side estimates Ger
man casualties since Italy at 39-1.-000.
(Killed and captured, pre
sumably, since only the Germans
can know the total of their
Wounded..)
Of the 3M.0O0, the Russians
have accounted for 219,000. leav
ing 175,000 to have been done In
by the Americans and British. If
these figures are anywhere near
accurate, we're olivlousy begin
ning to carry our share of the
load.
ABOUT 60 per cent of Salpan Is
now under our control, and
Nlmltz says that 0,013 Japs have
been burled and 200 taken prison
er. The correspondents on the
scene expect a decisive battle
with large bodies of Japanese
troops soon.
THE WASTE PAPER DRIVE
By Charles V. Stanton
HOW much waste paper do you have .around your home?
You probably will be surprised at the amount if you will
make a careful search. That paper is needed critically
needed in the war effort. It can perform no construe
tlve service while remaining piled in your attic or basement
or stuck away on a closet shelf. So get it out and send it
to war. V
The Roseburg Eagles lodge is sponsoring a general col-
lectioti Of newspapers and magazines Friday and Saturday
of this week. It is regrettable that this collection must be
confined to the city of Roseburg alone. There are many
tons of waste paper in Douglas county, as a whole, if
means of collecting it only could be worked out. Plans to
organize county-wide paper salvage drives are now being
formed and soon will be ready for announcement. In the
meantime every householder should be accumulating all
available paper to be turned in at the proper time.
The proper time in Roseburg will come this week. Trucks
will start making their rounds early Friday morning. As
ihe work will be begun before a good many people are out
of bed, it is urged that all bundles of papers and magazines
be set out Thursday evening. This means you should spend
Thursday searching the house from basement to ridgepole
to make sure you are including every scrap of waste paper.
It is requested that newspapers and magazines be bundled
separately. They should be tied into bundles about 12 inches
high for convenience in handling, then stacked at the curb
line, where they may be picked up easily and tossed into
the trucks by volunteer workers. ' I
Paper is becoming more and more essential in the war
effort. New methods of treating it with various chemicals
have enlarged the purposes for which it may be used. Paper !
can now be made waterproof, so that it becomes suitable
for containers for perishable foods, ammunition, drugs and
other materiel upon which diir armies depend.
Containers, made entirely of paper, are dumped into the
sea and floated ashore on many of our Pacific islands,
Where reels make it impossible to land boats.
Paper is converted' into parachutes used for dropping sup
plies. Paper containers carry blood plasma to the battle-
fronts of the world. There are thousands upon thousands
ol uses for paper in the war effort.
Some of our normal supplies Of paper have been cut off
entirely. Manpower shortages have reduced the output of
pulp and paper mills in this country and Canada. Waire
discriminations have made it difficult for the industry to
secure needed increases in the number of workmen.
Newspapers have been limited on newsprint, creatine
many difficult publication problems. The only agencies
seeming to have ample supplies of paper, to be used indis
criminately, are the federal bureaus which fill the mails
with their propaganda.
But thtire is enough paper lying around the homes of this
country to take up the slack in production if salvage opera
tions receive deserved cooperation. Doujrlas countv has
one of the lowest per capita paper salvage records in the
state of Oregon. This is not due to any lack of patriotism.
for there is no county having a better record of volunteers
for military service, war bond sales and other participa
tion in the war effort. Rather it results from a lack of or
ganization and, more particularly, to the difficulties of col
lection and shipment due to the long distances to be covered.
the restriction on use of motor vehicles and the lack of
manpower to do the work of collecting and shipping. Conse
quently, the task becomes one of individual cooperation, for
if many people join in the task, the work will be done tiuick-
and with little effort.
The start is being made in Roseburg, and soon, we hone
will be extended to every other community of the county.
It will not be hard for Douglas county to erase its low per
capita salvage record and become one of the leaders in the
waste paper drive, as in everv oth I' mjlint' Will' . iirtfir
providing we all pitch in and help.

QUESTION RAISED BY
BROADCAST STATEMENT ON
ARGENTINE BEEF ISSUE
Kditor News-Review:
This Is my first attempt at writ
ing to the open forum of the
press. But this- Friday, June 30,
over Station KRNR, the com
mentator, Boake Carter, gave his
comments on the Important is
sues ol the day -the presidential
nominees, close of the war, and
others. 1 have no quarrel with
him on the former topics. '
At the present time the United
States and Argentina are prob
ably severing relations, the cause
for the break being the action of
Argentina in maintaining a nazi
state and being In sympathy with
Germany. For this we are call
ir.a our ambassador home.
Now, Boake Carter says our na
tion is at "outs" with Argentina
over t lit? question of buying beef
tnmi them. He says, and I quote
as nearly as possible," the United
States refuses to take Arcgontine
beet because it is dirty and con
taminated with foot and mouth
disease." Also he says. "I . see
I am most decidedly in dis
agrecment with him in his sweep
ing statements when he says our
nation is to blame for the troub
le we are having with our south
ern neighbor over the question of
meat products.
My recollection is that the foot
and mouth disease swept over
tills western country about 20
years ago. Since that time the
midwest was plunged Into an ex
treme drought. The cattle were
o poor and so many died that
beef production was unlit for
home consump. on. We patroniz
ed Argentine beef almost exclu
sively during those years.
American meat packers, Ar
mour, Cudihy and company,
have acquired interests in the
gl assy plots of the Argentine and
pasture their herds there.
It seems to me the United
States' dealings with our south
ern republic have been fair and
this is the first time I have hoard
of our complaint that their prod
uct is unfit to eat.
Mr. Carter needs to stand and
be corrected on those assertions.

Shipbuilding Co.
Faces U. S. Fine of
More Than Million
SEATTLE. July' ; 5.-(AP)
The now bankrupt Columbia
Shipbuilding and Drydock com
pany of Portland faces a possible
penalty of more than a million
dollars today as a result of find
ings announced his week by a
12th regional War Labor board
panel that the company had over
paid employes 5565,000 in viola
tion of the wage stabilization act.
Regional WLB officials express
ed belief it Was the largest
potential penalty that a panel
finding has made possible.
Appropriate government con
tracting agencies and the bureau
of internal revenue will be no
tified of the finding, Panel Chair
man Clark Kerr said, adding that
in past cases the agencies have
disallowed such overpayment in
settling for contracts and the in
ternal revenue bureau has re
fused to allow such . deduction
from income tax payments.
The company, has 10 days in
Which to appeal.
In Portland, Edward D. Kahl
er, trustee for creditors of the
company, pointed out that "any
penalty enforced now would be
a penalty against the innocent
creditors, and not against the
company or it's officials."
The panel opinion, written by
Kerr, asserted: "This company
paid unauthorized high wage
rates, travel time and sustenance
to employes. In addition there
was an abnormally high propor
tion of persons classified as su
pervisors. in one classifica
tion there were more foremen
and lead men than journeymen.
Also there was no proof submit
ted to the panel to show that any
individual man had ever worked
the number of hours for which
he was compensated."
This reference, Kerr said, was
to records of consistent payment
for 12 hours of work daily with
out records to show the hours
were worked.

Yes, we had a grand time and
now we can settle down to work

and Ole Massa Bulldog Drum

either. Looking over the program
as of tonight and tomorrow,
things seem to have been fairly
