Death hovers everywhere,
READY TO STRIKE.
WE shull see how long a people
ruled by the grisly fear of
death can hold out against
MANY- PEOPLES fired by the
knowledge of a Just cause and
the desire for a better world.
GIVE OUR POLICE A HAND
I
By Chariot V. Stantoe
OUR state, county and city police authorities deserve a
hand for the efficient manner in which they conducted the
investigation into tho tragic death of 10-year-old Vera May
Hall of Riverside, who was drowned last week in the South
Umpqua river.
Circumstances were such, even the position in which the
body was found, that suspicion of foul play could not bo
avoided. Clues were scarce but rumors were plentiful.
The officers had been forced to resort to radio appeals for
information, and the combination of radio and newspaper
publicity brought many false leads.
It is to the credit of the various departments that they
cooperated as a unit and that every rumor and every state
ment was investigated. Working day and night, almost
continuously, the officers probed into every angle of the case
Even though they had ample excuse upon which to cease
their investigation, when given a pathologist's report that
no evidence of crime could be produced in the autopsy, of
ficers exhausted every possibility.
Such efficiency should be a source of satisfaction to the
law abiding and a cause for second thought by the evil inten-
tioned.
Accidental deaths frequently give peace officers occasion
for much work. Often there are freakish conditions which
seem to preclude accident and point to crime.
We can remember one case in which the slip of a sur
geon's knife probably saved a man from the gallows. An
autopsy in a presumed case of poisoning was positively af
firmative until as the investigation was nearly completed,
the surgeon's scalpel slipped, something that seldom hap
pens in such expert hands, and, as if guided by providence,
evcaled a totally unsuspected cause for natural death.
It is easy to presume criminal action in some unusual
iccident cases, and it is good to know that we have officers
who make their investigations complete and thorough, either
to apprehend the guilty or to prove innocence.
Portland Trims- '
Seattle; Angels
Beaten by Seals
l By the Associated Plena)
Portland came from behind last
night to dump Seattle 3-1, leaving
the victors in fifth place and
Seattle back In sixth a half game
behind.
Southpaw Holser was given
credit for the win and Demoran
charged with the defeat, al
though neither hurler was around
at the end of the contest. Hclser
gave way with one out In the
ninth when Seattle got the tying
run in position to score and Liska
checked the. rally with two
straight outs. Demoran was
bounced from the game In the
eighth when he objected to a de
cision at second base which
would have retired the side and
left the score tied.
Elsewhere in the coast league,
Hollywood made It 17 out of 18
over Oakland this, season when
Kimball, a part-time hurler for
the Stars, bested Salvo for a 4-2
win.
San Diego broke its long losing
streak with a 21 11-lnning win
over Sacramento.

MEANWHILE War Secretary
Stimson, freshly back from
tho war fronts, (who talks little
but invariably means' what he
says), tells us what we must do.
"Germany's" armies and her
people," lie says, "arc shaken and'
shot through with doubts. Hut in
no sense are they broken."
He continues:
"There is only one sure stra
tegy to finish this war with final
ity and SPEED: that is for us and
our allies to gear every resource
we have in men and equipment
In a final, unremitting assault on
land, sea and In the air."
He concludes:
"Only when Germany and Ja
pan see that they are about to
be completely overpowered
when that fact Is physically and
unmistakably carried to their
doorsteps then and then only
will they collaspe."
WHEN enough Germans
have been killed, Ger
many will quit. Not before.
It will be helpful If Hitler,
Gocrlng, Gocbbels and Himm
Icr HELP US KILL GER
MANS. IN the west and In the east oC
Europe, this bloody business of
German-killing goes on apace.
Our Americans In Normandy
go Into action again. U. S. tanks,
with sharpshooling American in
fantrynien riding them, break
four miles into the Gentian de
fenses beyond St. Lo on a front
2i miles wide. They are support
ed by waves of bombers.
The Germans fight with suici
dal fury.
AT the other end ol Hie Nor
mandy line, the British and
Canadians, who look I he often
slve before, are fighting off Ger
man counterattacks and consoll
dating their positions.
Montgomery is using the one
two punch the British and
Canadians one day, the Ameri
cans the next.
The Oregon State Highway commission engineers have
perfected detailed plans for road construction which will
provide a $50 million backlog to meet post war unemploy
ment needs, it has been reported by T. IT. Banfield, chair
man. The commission has made careful study of Oregon's
highway needs and future requirements. After projecting
a program of development, the commission instructed pre-
aration of engineering detail. These finished plans are in
commission files and any one or more can be started within a
pace of a few weeks. Thus the State is prepared to meet j
postwar unemployment emergencies on a grand scale. The!
highway commission is to be commended for its efficient ap-
proach to the problem.
KRNR
Mutual Broadcasting System,
1490 Kllooyolee.
Senator Harry S. Truman, democratic nominee for vice
president, declares it is "no secret" that his wife has been
on the senate payroll as a clerk in liis office at $l,!)0Q a
year. At least she stays home and works instead of galli
vanting to the four corners of the earth.
One of our readers wants to know if Hitler's statement
that Germany is doomed for a thousand years, if defeated,
means he expects the New Deal lo take over.

Lions Club Trims
Kiwanians,10to6,
In Softball Tilt
Forrest Losee, Lions club cen
ter fielder, defeated the Klwanis
club last night as the Lions took
a 7-lnning Softball game by a
score of 10 to 6. The Kiwanians
were well out in front in the
early stages of the game, but
their luck deserted them along
with Abe Bean, who followed Bill
Whipple to the bench, both vic
tims of game legs. After being
held scoreless for three innings,
the Lions pushed over five runs
in the fourth, one In the fifth
and four in the sixth. The Klwan
ians scored one In each of the
first three innings, two in the
fourth and one in the fifth, but
were unable to reach the plate
In either of the last two Innings.
Losee's center! leld garden
seemed to be a magnet for the
Kiwanis club batters and he had
a field day chasing fly balls, mak-
nig five putouts.
The Kiwanis club infield con
tributed to the Lions club victory
with five errors, while the Lions
escaped with only two minor mis
plays. Gilbo, pitching for the Lions,
and Bill West for the Kiwanians,
went the full route, but Helliwell,
starting catcher for the Lions,
called in Jim Bewley for relief.
Ralph Church did the receiving
chore for the Kiwanis club.
The Kiwanians started out with
West, pitching; Church, catching;
Whipple, first base; Bean, sec
ond base; Fries, third base; Bor
ing, shortstop; Chapman, left
field; Nelson, center field and
Geddes, right field. When Whip
ple went out with a strained leg,
Boring shifted to first, putting
Coughlan on short, while Fuller
ton replaced Chapman, and Plum
mer went into the game for Bean.
Gilbo, pitching; Helliwell, catch
ing; Pickens, first base; Dunham,
second base; Schemer, third base;
Sunderland, short shop Wicoff,
left field; Losee, center field and
Henry, right field, formed the
starting lineup for the Lions,
with Bewley replacing Helliwell;
Doyle replacing Wicoff, and Far
ris relieving Henry.
Wally Rapp at the plate and
Roy Bellows on the bases, both
Kiwanians, escaped with no more
than normal umpire baiting.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS..,
"Nfary and I were just sayintr. Judge, how
lucky we are here in America t hat we havi6o
many natural resources to help w in the war."
"That's right, Jim. When war broke out
we had oil, we had steel, we had food,
lumber, aluminum. ..practically everything
we needed. There's one thing we didn't
have. . . iiibbtr. The enemy had that."
"But that didn't bother ua for long. Soon
American brains and industry had synthetic
rubber by the tons rolling out of pUnts. That
filled a critical need . . . you can't win a
war without rubber."
"I was very much interested the other dajr
in reading a statement made by a high gov
ernment official on synthetic rubber. In it he
said' It is fair to regard the rubber manufao
t ured to date as being almost solely the prod
uct of the beverage distilling Industry.' "
" He also said that, in his estimation, the
tremendous contribution of distillers' indus
trial alcohol to the synthetic rubber program
had not received the recognition which it
deserves."
"We certainly learned something today,
didn't we Mary?"
