There ate strong hints In return lor the part of Poland Russia may tuke the Poles will be given slices of east ern Germany. IT seems apparent that the nazls will carry on the war, even on German soil, as long as they con trol Germany. That stands to rea son. The nazi goose will be cook ed whenever the Germans slop fighting. I VON PAPEN, In -Turkey, sends a new pledge of allegiance to Hitler. ' j Nolo that Turkey HASN'T gone in yet, although reported hot and bothered and ordering her ships into port the other day. THE Germans are clearly fight ing harder on the western front than the eastern. That may be significant. The PROFES SIONAL generals arc in charge In the east. Rommel, an all-out ' nazi, is the big man in the west. T HERE is hard fighting in Guam, but the invasion ap pears to be coming along well. The Tinian casualties are report ed light and the situation there well in hand. 15,000 Jap civilians on Tinian have gone UNDER GROUND, as on Saipan. ! Navy Secretary Foirestal says Saipan, Guam and Tinian are the "key that will unlock the doors to Japan, the Philippines and China." Among them, they pro vide b'ases aggregating 300 square miles, with eight airfields and five harbors all within 15(10 miles ot Japan. (Admiral King the other day named 1500 miles as about the effective radius of the fleet from its base. The Marianas islands will be our farthest advanced fleet base.) AJa "S up radio commentator says: Strategically speaking. Die time has not yet arrived lo de liver the coup de grace to the enemy (U. S.l fleet." Don't laugh too scornfully. What he means is that the Japs' naval strategy will be to hit us HARD AND QUICK if they can ever catch us at a disadvantage. THE 45,Ut)0 trapped Japs on New Guinea are apparently rebell ing the suicidal stage. They are described as driving .. V;Vj STRAIGHT into our lines In a ..'V 'COLUMN OF COMPANIES. .' !. They were MOWED DOWN hy J I our 75s and 105s, and "quick J J closing Yank Jungle fighters I cleaned out the few w ho sur vived." N a news conference the other day, the reporters tried to lead Forrestal Into a statement as to when the Jap war might be ex pecied to end. He side-stopped-wlsely. The Jap war- will end when the Japs are licked. ' ' (N New York, the stock market relve a LITTLE ' but not -- 1 WE HAVE PRIVATE OFFICES i ' By Charldt V. Stantoc A NEW craze has taken hold of the News-Review staff. " Everyone wants a private office. Anyone who js in business these days knows that employees can have about anything; they want, ro we have been building private of fices. We have remodelled until it is about s difficult to find your way around the various departments as to get in and out of the army pentagon Even Ed Knapp, our business manager, who for years has insisted on being out in an eye on all office procedure, has succumbed to the new idea of privacy and has appropriated the cubicle built for the bookkeeper. How we're is another of those problems newspaper management. The whole thing started divide the city news room the advertising department its lour walls and needed more room, so we tore out that office and built a larger one. That necessitated shifting the desks of the proofreader, ter, the commercial printing a corner and we had to screen him in. The bookkeeping de partment decided better work could be accomplished in a private office, so there went another corner. As the busi ness manager has now apropriated that office for his own use, we're trying to figure out how to meet the next demand. We've about filled up all available space and may have to build a penthouse. Having completed most of job is to try to find painters and decorators. Maybe you've had that problem too. However, we've found a man who will consider the job when he "can get around lo it," being about as definite on dates as of the war. However, we hope sometime and are looking forward to settling down lo normal routine. Earl Wiley, president of seriously concerned with the vice men who are finding extreme difficulty in securing living quarters. Half-dozen or more wives, some with chil dren, have' appealed to the chamber of commerce for aid, Wiley reports. They need unable, for the most part, to but their need is imperative. Wiley points out that a number of couples, particularly elderly people, are living in homes where they have a great deai more room than they need for themselves. These people, he points out, could remodel their homes to include small apartments, thus increasing their income and at the same time doing a worthwhile modations for the wives and ighting the. country's battles. The chamber of commerce, lve assistance to any persons tion with the remodelling of homes to provide living quar tern for wives of service men or for workers in essential industries. A Roseburg man who has- passed his !)(tli birthday was in our office a few days ago commenting upon an item re lating to a man of like age who had lived through four wars and participated in none. "I was too young for the Civil war," our caller related. "When the Spanish-American war came along 1 was in the national guard, but because was married and had three children they wouldn't let me go. 1 was too old for the first World war and when this war started they told me 1 couldn't join up without consent of my parents. "I called St. Peter and got my mother's consent, but my lather wasn't there.'' much. The scculalors (like the rest of us) aren't sure yel what lias happened in Germany. AKTEK-T!

Y July 27 -(AP) . Announcing a 15-polnt program of action for the republican gov ernor's conferecce next week, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey pledged today If elected to "end the dis graceful spectacle of petty bick ering and constant warfare 1)0 Iween the various units of the government." The republican presidential nominee told a press conference that ho and Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, the vice-presidential nominee, were In full accord on the issues of the campaign. Dewey said the conloronce in St. Louis tx'ginning Aug. - would delve into the field of conflict" between tederal, stale Mnd local governments. "This has been a constant scureo of friction for 12 years In- this country now," Dewey said. "Kwoiifih people are spending full tinie lighting each other over the qmi tlon of jurisdiction and power between Ihe federal, state and local governments to make up a small army. Ainii'st as many people are squabbi'ing over this subject as! are sqmibbllng In the the federal j government. If that were possl-1 tile," Dea.ey said as Bricker sat liesi.lo bun and nodded agree ment. The republican nominee said lie and Bricker conceded that "one of our first obligations Is to cPaos and to bring unity where more is only disunity row. In early England, coins some times were cut In halves or quar ters to make change. Nazis Terrified by Attack Sob, Scream As They Surrender IN NORMANDY, July 27 (AP) A massive American air assault flushed a covey of Ger man parachutits yesterday and they ran out sobbing and scream ing, "this is not war; it's crim inal. Terror glazed their eyes. Their mottled camouflaged jumpers flapped In the wind as they ran. They were some dis tance behind the first American troops before they could be head ed off. Splendid physical specimens, hey quited down under the calm handling of Sgt. Ernest Gunz burg of Miami, Kla., German born interpreter, and Corp. John Baer, his assistant, from Forest Hills, N. V. A 19-year-old nazi who reported he had been a medical student! at Munich, said he thought our air bombardment -which he called a rug of bombs was "in humane. "How about Warsaw?" he was asked. 'Wo were defending our selves." "Rotterdam?" 'Rotterdam was a fortress." "And London," "They started it." it was the same with the rest, who ranged from 19-year-olds to men in their forties.. Men in one group said thev surrendered because they were without water and had had only one meal for days. They wolfed canned "C" rations like hungry animals. BOUQUETS, BRICKBATS AND CORRECTIONS ANENT OUR EDITORIAL COMMENT . Editor's Note: Attention has been called to an error in our editorial column of July 20 in which it was stated thnt President Roosevelt was a "running mate with Al Smith". The error is ac knowledged. At the conven tion in San Francisco in 1920 he was nominated as vice president on the ticket with .lames M. Cox, Governor Smith making the seconding speech. After his tlefeat he resumed practice of law in Now York city and was until 1928 vice-president of the Fi delity and Deposit Co. of New York city. We are grateful for the letters calling atten tion to the error and lo writ ers both approving and criti eal, who have commented upon our opinions. C. V. S. Editor News Review : I have just read your editor ial. "Picking On the Old Man." I fully agree with your position which is stated most excellently. However, I observe your refer ence to F. D. R. as "after going down to defeat as a running mate with Al Smith, he became"- -etc. This is off the bourn a 'few years. You will recall that F. 1). R. ran for vice-president in 1920 as the running mate of that experienc ed (?l sta'.eman James M. Cox, who was beaten badly by the Harding-Coolirige ticket. At that lime. Al Smith was New York slate's governor. More to the point, the callow candidate for vico-presidont. who must have felt himself to have been fully qualified to succeed to the presi dency tn the event of Cox's elec tion (and subsequent death, had attained the ripe old age of 38; years. Ho now sneers at Gover nor Dewey's "immaturity" and in experience" Makes a lot of difference who I is young and who is mature! 1 GEORGE B. GUTHRIE. ! Portland, Ore. j Editor News-Review : j 1 have boon reading the editor-1 ials in the News-Review for some time. Some are good, some are I fair and some are so full of false-' hood that they defeat Ihe very purpose for which they arc writ ten. In the editorial in the July 20th edition of (he News-Review you stated: "If our histories are cor rect Roosevelt was a small time politician" etc. Then turther you wrote: "after going down to do feat as running mate with Al Smith ho became vice-president of an insurance company." Then later you stated he was n com promise candidate between Ihe Smith and McAdoo forces. Now you started your editorial ,,.i ,i, h.,,!,, oi. ,.,( :1 ,,.,,,. ,.nmr,ainn :.nH ,hl,n . ,, mlo sl,.id.. in ,,-,, tMluhiioan style by smearing and spreading untruths yourself. The tacts are: Roosevelt was the running mate of James M. I Cox In 1920. Shortly after the elections he was stricken with in-j fnntlle paralysis and spent sev eral years In bod. In 1928. when Al Smith was defeated for the I presidency, Roosevelt was run ning for the governorship of New York state and was elected. He served two terms as governor of LETTERS 1 to the Editor New York and was elected presl den of the U. S. in 1932. It was his son, James, who was the vice president of the insur ance company. And he was not a compromise candidate between the Smith and McAdoo forces. It was in 1924 that that dead lock occurred and John W. Davis was the compromise candidate. ' So your histories are most de cidedly incorrect. They must have been written by the republican national committee. ' I can hardly believe that you would deliberately print false hoods in your editorials. Yet if is hard to believe you could be so uninformed. You seem to bemoan the fact that at the democratic convention the seakers spoke disparagingly of Herbert Hoover. I will admit that Hoover wasn't responsible for the depression. But in his campaign for the presidency he promised, "two chickens in every pot and two cars in every ga rage." Then, a year later, a workingman was lucky If he could buy even a soup bono and many lost their cars. The only remedy he could think up to end the depression was to tell us "prosperity is just around the corner" and to ask us to "spend till it hurts" as if we could spend ourselves into pros perity. Ho was so far behind the times that he didn't know there was a war going on until Pearl Har bor. But then, maybe no one had told him. Now, as to the republican nomi nee, Mr. Dewey. He is a smart and able man, far ahead of Taft, Vandenburg, Nye and other re publican leaders. He would make a good president. But you can hurt his cause by such editorials as yours of July 20th. And he would stand a better chance if Hoover would go and find a place to rest in a home for the aged. T. V. GURNEY, Lookingglass Kt., Roseburg, Ore. Editor News-Review: I wish to commend you on your editorial in July 20th Roseburg News-Review. I wish there were more people in the U. S. of the same opinion. MRS. S. B. DUNN, Roseburg, Ore.
