ANOTHER sidelight:
Twelve Germans reach Stock

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

lo himself, trusting nobody.
That ISN'T good morale.
A report from London says
Rommel has been "forced" lo

reasons." These two experienced
generals were replaced t BE

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.

toll us frequently of these kill

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

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

THIS fact, however, stands out:

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

Many other important matters are before the chamber

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

are involved, but the chamber of commerce is undertaking

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.

Query For Mr. Mahoney.
Editor News-Review: Some
time ago our Oregon democratic
candidate for the short time sena
tor from Washington, D. C, Wil
lis Mahoney, stated as he stepped
off the train in Portland, "Frank
line Delano Roosevelt will not
let us down." Well, he didn't.
May I ask just who Mr. Mahoney
meant by us? Did he mean the I
rank and file of the small busi-!
ness men and the farmer, or did
he mean the vast army of high
ly paid men and women of the
administrative payroll?
Very truly yours,

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.

the budget, the league was called

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.
