ANOTHER sidelight: Twelve Germans reach Stock holm by plane from Berlin. They were immediately put under WATCH by two gestapo men at tached to the nazi legation in Stockholm. They REFUSE TO TALK. There speaks fear! Jt is a fairly safe guess that EVERY GERMAN walks 111 dead ly fear and keeps his thoughts lo himself, trusting nobody. That ISN'T good morale. A report from London says Rommel has been "forced" lo chungo two of his armored divi sional commanders for "political reasons." These two experienced generals were replaced t BE FORE the attempt on Hitler's life) by "two juvenile POLITI CAL colonels who have a record of fanatical nazi loyalty." THE more experienced soldiers the gestapo kills or otherwise puts out of the way, to be re placed by nazi politicians, the easier our Job will be from here on. War is a skilled trade. MOW for the $0-1 question: What will be the effect on the duration of the European war of this German what-is-it thai is filling the air with rumors? II1" you know anyone who has talked with or closely observed the young nazi prisoners that are being brought to litis country, you'd better get his opinions. Those who have talked with them and watched them tell this writer they are generally cocky and defiant, refusing to believe that nazi Germany Is slipping. OFTEN they MURDER luke warm or antlnazi fellow prison ers In the camps. The dispatches toll us frequently of these kill ings. The older men seem dilfeient less cocksure. HITLER seems to have been suc cessful In poisoning I he minds of German youth. Hi- has been somewhat less successful in poi soning older minds. That more or less established fact suggests to us that this crisis (whatever It is) is lo a cotisidcr- able extent a battle of older and i possibly calmer Germans against fanatical, mentally-poisoned Hit ler youth. It Is hard to guess at this dis tance and without knowledge what Is actually going on anil i where It will lead. We'd better keep our lingers crossed, a little longer. THIS fact, however, stands out: The Germans HAVEN'T QUIT FIGHTING. They seem to have us HELD (with the help of the weather) on the Normandy battlefield, where our tanks are bogged In the mud. SHAEF has on Satur day only this five-word rom- HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES By Chariot THE offer made last week by a representative of the Na tional Housing aifency to assist essential workers in the Roseburg area to secure priorities for construction of dwell ing units, is another important achievement for the Rose burg chamber of commerce. The opportunity to erect houses or shelters through pri vate capital is the first since the war and is a direct out growth of applications and information originating with the chamber of commerce. It is to be hoped that many persons avail themselves of the opportunity. The housing situation in Roseburg is steadily growing more critical. Nearly all of our industries are working shorthanded, while workmen who arrive to take jobs must move on to other localities because of in ability to find suitable shelter for themselves and families. A great deal of land in or near the city is available for home construction. The chamber of commerce survey, made prior to submitting application for authority to revive pri vate construction, indicates that a large number of people are desirous of constructing residences, the structures to double garages following the The chamber of commerce is cient manner in which the project has been conducted and for the success obtained. If newcomers, who desire to make a start toward a permanent home in Roseburg, will regis ter, it is possible that- a building program can be inaugu rated which will relieve a most Many other important matters are before the chamber of commerce and these are which is most gratifying. The city-wide recreation program, already in full swing, will be greatly extended when prospective federal aid is secured. The chamber of commerce has handled nearly all of the detail work in getting this project started. Also in prospect is a substantial increase in hospital facilities for the Roseburg which have been continued by the chamber of commerce over a period of several months. At the present time work transportation development, tended to include all of southern Oregon and northern Cali fornia. A groat amount of detailed study and survey work are involved, but the chamber of commerce is undertaking tiie task with much enthusiasm and efficiency. In addition to the major projects before the organization, routine work is being maintained, while much help is being given new industries planning to locate in Douglas county. No effort is being made by the merce to block these industries tightly around the city. Industries projected for Sutherlin, Myrtle Creek, Oakland, Drain, Reedsport and Glendale are known to the chamber Of cohifnoree officers and are those proposing to locate in or We are delighted that the officers of the organization are not bounding their efforts by concerned with the development muniquc: "There Is nothing to report."

Y. 86 Proof By J. R. Williams By SUSAN. Tuesday is not one of our fav orite nights of the week when it comes to radio listening just a couple or three bright spots. Music You Remember, of course, 6:30; Eye Witness News at 8, and, once in a while, Freedom of Opportunity at 8:30. Last weeks production was super and tonight they salute Helen Keller, so it should be good, too. Our greatest complaint as far as this show is concerned is the clak of outstand ing characters when they choose theVeciPlent the salute. How ever, this week s choice is quite okch. We'd much rather take Wednesdays listening, espec ially in the evening hours, be cause there's First Nighter at 6:30 with "Anything Can Happen in Hollywood" as this week's pro duction. We're still hoping to hear Barbara Luddy on Radio Tour, and Bret Morrison on1 Screen Test. Both were conven-1 tion casualties as far as the time' element is concerned, but per haps they'll pick them up tonight. ' But to get back to this Wed-; nesday's show it's a farce-ro-; mance according to publicity re-j ceived, complete with boy and girl motif plus a Yogi tossed in; for seasoning. Good music with' Eric Sagerquist and his "First Nighter" orchestra performing j before first curtain and between' the acts. Wednesday is Main Line at 8 and Bulldog Drummond at: 8:30, both favorites of ours and both missed last week. We've been writing this to the accompaniment of the Treasury Salute which you hear at 2 in the afternnon when Welcome Inn isn't on, and we're all choked up with a lump in our throat those are pretty strong meat, but they're good. Listen to them.

OATS, BARLEY CEILINGS LACKING "Oats and Barley ceilings failed to come through on Monday as the trade had anticipated. This is caus ing considerable confusion in the grain trade, not only here, but in other sections of the country. "Farmers are holding their crops back, waiting for the ceilings, with the faint hope that ceilings, when announced will give them a better price. No movement of any conse quence can be expected until the ceiling prices are announced and digested." The above news item appeared in the last "Commercial Review". These ceiling prices probably will be established by O. P. A. within the next few days. As soon as O. P. A. announces the ceiling prices for the 1944 crop of oats and barley, there will have to be a revision of both buying and selling prices for these grains. Whether that revision will be up or down, nobody knows at this time. DOUGLAS COUNTY FLOUR MILL Elmer Metzger, Roseburg;' V. H.
