It we have that many in action, it looks bad for Rom mel. We'd better keep our fingers crossed a while on the 2500-ta.nk story. The natural alibi of the fel low who. Is taking a licking Is; "He was too big for me." THIS Is the big strategic ques tion: Will Hitler order his Germans to STAND AND DIE in Normandy? . He gave that older in Russia, mid TOO MANY DIED. He's sutterlng tor it In Poland how. RUSIAN spearheads (cavalry, light tanks, etc. I are IN SIGHT ot Warsaw as this is written. Their main forces, with heavy artillery, are only 20 miles away. Up on the Baltic, they are al most to Riga (at Riga, they'll cut otf by land whatever Germans may be left to the north). IN southeastern Poland, the reds have taken everything clear up to the Carpathian foothills, and latest dispatches say that a Rus sian march into Czechslovakia through the passes of the Car pathians looms as a possibility. Beyond Czechsluvakia lies Hun gary and the valley of the Dan ube. A thrust down the Danube valley would cut off ALL the Ger mans in ALL THE BALKANS. THAT possibility pals all the Balkan satellites on the spnl. Hence the obvious desire ol Hill garia and Turkey to OKI' ON OUR SI D1C. There's a tale It mil Istanbul that Bulgaria has ASKL'P Berlin to evacuate all Germans limn Bulgaria and that Berlin may IIEKD THK KKQl'KST. If Hitler VOLUNTARY gels out of Bulgaria, he's in a tight spot and knows it. STILL, il could he. II looks as it lie is pulling clear hack inlu Germany Irnm the east, hoping for a sliorlcr Irmil that can he defended by fewer men. TI IK weather lias been a Mule better in Normandy, and In the past throe days our BLANKS have knocked out "Jan of liom mel's tanks' That niusi hurl. f ROBOTS fell In Kngl.ind in I waves over the weekend.' There are tersislent tales to the effect thai the Germans ate readying a TEN-TON mboi A I Jied military men don't enliiel) : discredit this rumor. : Hopes pinned to the robots are' probably stiffening German will to light to the death. I THE bloody work of killing .laps goes forward In the Pacific. The little yellow men counter attacked on Guam on Tuesday, und 2000 were slain. Dispatches nay that our Infantry and ma rines are pushing closer to the lip of Guam's Oiote peninsula I I NO TIME FOR DEBATE By Charles V. Sfantoi SERIOUS delay in starting reconstruction of the Koseburg- Rock creek section of the North Umpquu road is in pros pect as the result of failure of logging operators to cooperate in raising the token payment required as their participation in the project. The delay is serious because of the danger that improvements cannot be made prior to wet weather un less work is started immediately. The Douglas county court has made definite announcement that the road will be closed to logging during the wet season unless surfacing, sufficient to handle the heavy traffic, is provided earlier, a decision given approval by W. H. Lynch of the Public Roads Admin istration, which joined in expenditure of a considerable sum of money on the Roseburg-Dixonville section prior to the start of heavy logging over the North I'mptiua route. A good many arguments may be presented on both sides of the case, but it is quite evident the situation does not permit prolonged debate. The project is one in which the War Production board, Public .Roads administration, State Highway commission, Douglas county and the City of Roseburg are joining. Log ging operators are also asked to participate. The improvement, which would include the extension of Second Avenue South to the Pacific highway, widening of the highway at two intersections, and the surfacing of the North .Umpqua road as far as Rock creek to withstand heavy logging traffic, would call for the expenditure of $200,000, coupled with a maintenance program of about $1,000 per mile for a period of one year. The bulk of the funds around $125,000, plus maintenance money would be furnished by the War Production board from funds made available to provide access to raw materials 1 needed in the war effort. The federal money would be fur-! nished to the Public Roads administration, which would1 supervise construction work. The State of Oregon willj meet the cost of the highway intersections. The city audi county will join in extending Second Avenue to the high- way, and the county also will share in the cost of reconstruc-' tion of the road oust of town. I Access money is used only in cases of extreme importance to the war effort. Proof must be shown that the expendi ture will make available to war production materials which could not be secured in any other way. As a means of es tablishing such proof, it is customary to require operators to cooperate financially in what is termed a "token" contribu tion, in the North I'mpqua project this amount has been set at $25,000. Some of the operators are reported to have expressed' willingness to join in the project while others have raised objections. I There is no denying that the operators have just cause for complaint. They pay large amounts in taxes and licenses. They are required to pay a tax on every gallon of gasoline i and poundage fees on their loads. They contend that these' payments should be applied to the maintenance of the roads' over which they operate, lint the money goes into the slate highway fuid. The county court declares that if the slate would pay to the county the gasoline taxes and pound-' age fees collected from operators in proportion to the vol ume of travel on county roads, the court would be glad toj take over the maintenance job. However, state highway1 funds are zealously guarded and have public support in opposition to any new divisions of receipts. Many of the operators feel that the War Prudm iion board would nol permit the closing of the North I'mpqua route, but the fact remains that even should hauling be permitted, the road will not bear the present volume of logging traf fic during wet weather unless additional surfacing is pro vidod. Thus the road would be closed, insofar as avail ability for transporting logs is concerned, regardless of court order. If improvements are not made before wet weather begins, there may be a great curtailment of logging traffic. Jt is to be hoped the operators will attempt to get to gether without further delay and work out a program of cooperation. A prolonged argument can result in serious lonsequences. j: DIAlfpLOG j lly SUSAN. Music You Kcnicnihci tonight at i:.'!0.

HILLS, TOO RIDIN' UH, DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS In these tragic days many people are failing because they have no foundations. In their confusion, they turn here and there for help, but find none, for they know not where to go. In the world and even in the church, there are doubters, mental wanderers, sheep with out a shepherd. Blessed is the man who knows that the Lord is his strength and refuge. He can sing in the darkness of (he night as well as in the day. "The Lord, of host is with us." when we need shel ter, a lock in a weary land, what does it not mean to us to know that "the God of Ja cob is our refuge." What more than that do we need? That is enough in all our trials and misfortunes, in sorrow, despair and death. "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform." Thai Is a great truth. Bui the high point of that entire leaching is in the first two words. "God moves." And He never moves back wards, out of all the present world struggle. God can bring a better world. I do not know how, hut God moves ever forward. He is ever our re fuge anil fortress. In Him will we trust. Amen.

Congressman Ellsworth returned home Sunday, following a brief trip to Portland. Both hope to be able to remain in Oregon until after Labor day, but may return to Washington at any time, depending upon ac tion by congressional leaders. j Congress technically ended its vacation today, but it was antic ipated that no legislative business would be transacted before the first week in September. It was the understanding on both fides of the aisle in the House of Representatives that members would return only if emergency necessitated termina tion of the vacation, Congress man Ellsworth reported. Mem- bers will be notified in the event an emergency makes their im mediate return necessary. I The senate vacation was set to expire Aug 1, but business is expected to be confined to com mittee hearings, Senator Cordon ! stated, requiring attendance only of those senators who are mem bers of the respective commit tees which have scheduled work during the month of August. Cordon will remain in Rose burg until Thursday and will then spend the remainder of the month visiting various parts of the suite to study issues upon which his aid in the senate may be desired when he returns to Washington. Both Cordon and Ellsworth plan, unless called earlier, to re turn lo Washington the first week in September.
