In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS .
THERE is grim news In the
paper today.
Our casualty list on Saipr.n
was 15,053, of which 2359 were
killed. Our wounded ..totaled
11,481 and there were 12i3 miss
ing. ("Missing" are those who
fall to answer roll call and are
rot known to be killed or
wounded.)
lyHE Pacific war is REAL WAR.
I A few more casually lists such
as that and even the East, whose
eyes are fixed on Hitler to the
exclusion of everything else, will
realize that we have a war on
our hands on this side of the
world.
THERE will be more, Saipans.
Hitherto we have been mere
ly nibbling at the edges of the
Japs' stolen empire. We're be
ginning now to get in toward the
heart of it.
The nearer we get to the heart,
the harder the Japs will fight.
THE Japs had from 20,000 to
30,000 men on Saipan. That
is roughly two divisions. They
are supposed to have belter than
100 divisions.
Nearly all the Saipan Japs
were killed.
But there are many MORE
Japs to be killed.
THE Russians, racing toward
Germany so fast that they
covered 19 miles yesterday, are
reported today to be only 30
miles from the borders of East
Prussia ancestral home of the
Junkers, the German profession
al war chiefs. .-. . --.-j . ..
Either Russian strength is ov
erwhelmingly great simply too
much to be resisted or the Ger
mans are pulling back to a new
md shorter line and fighting
jnly rear guard actions.
Probably a little of both.
THE Germans are fighting bit
terly and stubbornly on the
Normandy front. There are clear
and definite signs that they are
getting short of man power.
One suspects that they are pull
ing back on the eastern front in
order to shorten their lines and
to be able to spare more men
for the fighting on the western
front.
DON'T entirely overlook, the
Italian front. Nothing very
spectacular has been happening
there lately, but it CAN get Im
portant. The Italian front is CLOSER

No Slackening of
Demand for Lumber
After War Expected
SEATTLE, July 13 (Af)
Little prospect in the slackening
of the production goals for the
lumber Industry after the war
was seen by the west coast lum
f berman's association in a report
released last night disclosing that
approximately half the lumber
purchased by the government
central procuring agency this
year had been from west coast
mills.
"The lumber industry is now
so deep Inwar requirements that
it has little time or thought for
post-war prospects but demands
are already taking shape over
seas Indicating that the end of
the war will mean very little
change in calls on west coast pro
duction," the report said.
Average weekly production in
Jup was 163,734,000 board feet,
or 103.6 per cent' of the 1940-43
average. Weekly June orders av
eraged 163,623,000 board feet and
shipments 162,143,000.

Douglas Seen as

Nomination Foe
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL.
WASHINGTON, July 13 (AP
Supporters of Henry A. Wal

tice William O. Douglas today as
the vice president's chief rival
for second place on the 1944 dem
ocratic ticket.
They are also keeping an eye
on Senate Majority Leader BarK.
ley. Speaker Sam Rayburn, Sen
ator Truman (D-Mo) and War
Mobilization Director James F.
Byrnes. .
Organized campaigns are not
yet in evidence for any of them.
None is likely pending an ex-
peeled word from President
Roosevelt that he wouldn't mind
having Wallace for a running
mate again but that somebody
else might do.
The Wallace camp has heard
rumors that back of Douglas are
Secretary of the Interior Ickes,
Joseph P. Kennedy, former am
bassador to England, and Thomas
Corcoran, former Roosevelt
"brain truster."
Private checks show, however,
that the vice president probably
will receive his heaviest support
for renomlnation in the west and
northwest, where Douglas, a
Washingtdnlan, would be expect
ed to have his greatest strength.
' Senator Chavez (D-NM) an
nounced yesterday he favors Wal
lace's renomlnation, declaring:
"If the President is entitled to
renomlnation, then common, or
dinary American decency and
fair play should demand that Vice
President Wallace be renomina
ted. This would be only his second
term."
