Whether the Ger mans on the Belgian coast me GETTING OUT or are Betting REINFORCEMENTS can't be de termined. GERMAN suicide squads are still left in Toulon and Mar seille, but the bulk of the nazis are retreating northward up the Rhone valley. One of our armor ed columns sped 200' miles In two ilays to fall on their flank Hike Indians on a pioneer wagon Iralnl at Montrlimar. Our planes harry them constantly, strafing Jlirm and blowing the bridges out from under their very feet. We have a mystery column somewhere to the north of Grenoble, which is well to the north of Monlelimar. Its where abouts are a strict military secret. The Germans fleeing up Hie Rhone are quite obviously trying to get back into Germany by the Bclfort gate, Just north of Switzerland. We're just as obviously trying to cut them off and prevent their escape by that route. Every Ger man prevented from gelling back to the homeland will be just that much less left lo fight when we reach Germany's borders. JAR1S presents both a sad and a happy picture. The French staged a victory parade in their capital. It was four miles long. Somewhere along the line le Gaulle planned lo make a victoiy address. Suddenly FRENCH TRAITORS on mof tops along the route opened up with rifles, anil the parallel's (who apparently had kept their guns handy i had to break out of line, take cover and start shoot ing.

At the western edge ol lio mania is the historic Iron Gale, where the Danube breaks thiough the.Transylvanian Alps much as the Columbia breaks through the Cascades. The gorge is narrow and for centuries has been randy defended. Transylvania is a high plateau lying to the north of the Tran sylvanlan Alp and west of the Carpathian. From this plateau WEHoLtl ERJtSHflATIOI THANKS FOR By Charles V. Stanton PURCHASE of Umpqua park by the Douglas county court as a site for revival of the annual county fair pleases us very much, personally. Other persons may believe some other site might have been more suitable, but, in our opinion, the court lias chosen wisely and has obtained the property at a price considerably lower in view of current land values. the property, purchased from ness men, who have been holding the land for speculation for a number of years, was acquired at a figure considerably below that for which the tract had been held prior to the rise in land prices. The owners made financial concessions be cause of proposed public use. We know that the county court arrived at its decision only after long deliberation. The study was made not only by the members of the court but by numerous advisers called in for the specific purpose of aiding in determination of the best possible procedure. Many of us who know Umpqua park well have been fear ful it would be lost for public residential district. It is a most beautiful site for a subdi vision and it is surprising that ed the opportunity to promote a fine homes project. In fact, that was once the original purpose. James Chris tian Alexander came to Roseburg about the turn of the cen tury at a time when subdivision projects were in their hey day. He purchased 1700 acres from Thomas Sheridan and drew elaborate plans for a residential district to be known as Alexander park. He constructed a wooden bridge across the South Umpqua, but the central pier of the bridge was not on rock foundation and the structure was carried away sev eral years later by a freshet. Many persons purchased lots and the development plan appeared on the Way to success, but depression years prior to the first World war brought Alexander's plan to an end. Many investors allowed their property to revert to the county for taxes. Collapse of the bridge caused discontinu ance of building plans. Eventually the tract was foreclosed by mortgage holders and finally passed into the hands of a company of Roseburg business men. Purchase of the property long delayed. The park affords exceptional is ample room for baseball diamonds, tennis courts and play grounds, in addition to the pavilions, race track, stables and ether appurtenances of a county fair. .There is a beautiful grove of spreading trees. The river can be utilized for swim ming and boating. We hope that eventually someone will recognize the sound ness of the idea long advanced by A. C. Marsters, one of Douglas county's first citizens, who has urged restoration of the South Umpqua dam, but with an adequate fishway in the center of the structure, where he insists fish ways be long. Raising the water level would restore a fine bathing beach and more than a mile of river ideal for boating. We can vision tit some future date a bridge spanning the river to the site; a park for play, picnicking and just "plain lazy" relaxing; athletic fields where competitive sports may be enjoyed, and, above all, a meeting place for all the peoples of the county, where, while we admire the products of our hands, fields, gardens and pastures, we can regain the spirit of friendliness, hospitality and common understanding that seems so hard to maintain in these strenuous days. We hope the proposed development will not be left entire ly to the county court or the fair board. There are numer ous organizations that can lend a hand. The Douglas Coun ty -Mounted Police already have planned an extensive contri bution, but there are many projects, big and little that can be undertaken by groups and individuals to create for Douglas county a recreation spot that can brighten our lives today and the lives of those who will move 11)1011 the scene tomorrow. tile Russians eouid push on fairly easily inlo tile plains of Hungary lii:illl the narrow Iron Gate 1 'nee into ilie Hungarian plains f hi- Russians will he in position to GET HEIIlNti all the Germans still left in the Balkans.

C, Aug. 26. We are still arguing with the OPA and War Food administra tion officials here about remov ing ration points on all lamb and from the higher grades of beef also. j Early this week I attended a 1 conference with Marvin Jonfcs, war food administrator, which was attended also by congressmen from the states of Washington, Utah, Idaho and California. Jones and the WFA are sincerely en deavoring to do a good job, but the problem, especially the meat problem, is big and complicated. As food administrator, Jones has the power to remove ration points from lamb and from beef too. He may ultimately do it, but not, I fear, until such action is too late to do the good that could be done if the points were taken off now. Ration points are not needed now for the purchase of lower grade lamb. This means that you may buy any cut of lamb you desire without ration points, but such Iamb will be cut from a carcass that has been graded lower than the commercial and good and choice grades. Contrary to the idea held by many people, the grade terms are applied only to the entire carcass and not to specific cuts of meat. The differ ence is that the leg of lamb you ration buy without expending points will not be quite so good as a leg of lamb purchased with points. The House passed the surplus property bill this week. A simi lar bill is now under considera tion in the senate. The senate bill has some major points of dif ference with the bill passed by the house perhaps the most im portant point being that the house bill provides for administration by a single administrator while the senate version calls for ad ministration by a board or com mission of eight. When the senate passes its bill, the two bills will then be taken into a conference committee of house and senate members. This conference committee will Uien I enueavui iu pui me iwu uiiis iu- geiner in a way liiai win ue ap proved by both houses. Although this seems a slow and cumber some way of doing it, I think the procedure on such an important piece of legislation gives the maxi mum opportunity for careful final consideration and for tho ex change of ideas. Speaking of surplus property material and equipment no longer needed for war some is avail able now. The army has been releasing used trucks and a few jeeps which have been declared surplus and are being sold. To obtain a piece of such equipment, the proper procedure is to address a letter to Mr. Ernest Olrich, care Procurement Division, Treas ury Department, Washington, D. C. outlining what you desire, and vou w ill then be told where such equipment is located and how to proceed in securing it. Donald Nelson, long time head of the War Production board, has now been handed the customary new deal elimination routine. He is being sent abroad to China. (Henry Wallace was a recent visi tor to the Orient too). Washing ton nrwspaers have given a big play to t his story. It is referred to as the battle of Washington. To my way of thinking, the nauseating thing about this dis missal of Donald Nelson is that, although he has done a fine pa triotic job, and has worked so hard and under such terrific pres sure that he has nearly ruined his health - the thanks he gets from a "grateful" administration 1!)

The War Production board un der Donald Nelson's direction has handled a production job that has amazed the world and ruined our enemies. It is one war agency that has' attended strictly to its business the task to which it has been assigned. Under Donald Nel- son, it has had the confidence and, resnect of the ueoDle. rniwvr nr inp rmnnip. The War Production board will now be run by 36-year-old J. A. Krug, who has been in the navy the last three months. He is re puted to be the only 100 per cent new dealer in WPB and has had practically no business experi ence in the field of private enter prise. He worked for TV A. SUte Presa Comment WHAT'S BECOME OF THE CONSTITUTION? From LABOR (A. F. of L.) Some time ago. Senator Austin of Vermont and Congressman Wadsworth of New York present ed a proposal to draft labor for private profit. Newspapers like the New York "Times" and the Scripps-Howard chain applauded. President Roosevelt gave the idea his blessing, with certain "strings" attached. Everyone seemed to agree that, under our Constitution, labor could not be drafted for private ist-ofll unlncc Cnnorpue nncGPi thp j necessary legislation and the Su preme Court approved its legal ity. Congress refused to touch the draft-labor scheme, despite all the hullabaloo raised by its advocates. That seemed to end the matter, but it didn't. Now comes Mr. Byrnes, an "as sistant President," who certainly was not elected to that high of fice by the people, and Issues what he calls a "directive." That's just another name for an "order." Mr. Byrnes' "directive' goes about 80 per cent of the way toward es tablishing conscription of labor for private profit. It will undoubt edly be easy to go the rest of the way. If you ask Mr. Byrnes where he got the authority to issue this "directive," he will tell you that President Roosevelt gave it to him as commander-in-chief or in some other capacity. What we would like to know is: What has become of the Consti tution? Or is that a military se cret, too? Background of the WPB Shakcupi iSalem Capital Journal 1 .

Nelson to China on a se cret mission, the resignation 01 its vice chairman, Charles E. Wilson, and the appointment of Julius A. Krug, as actln? chair man, are thus defined by David Lawrence, Washington corres pondent 3nd editor of tins United Stales News as current among well informed senators on Capi tol hill: What it all boils down to is the fact that certain New Dealers wild have socialistic Ideas about using the surplus property on a "production for use" basis in com petition with industry are fin ally in control of policy in the hoard.

They nave ine ear 01 me White House or somebody in the president's entourage who has in turn the ear of the president. It turns out now that the plot to get Donald Nelson out of town was hatched by some of the ar dent New Dealers themselves and their hope was to get rid of Wil son by aggravating him into a resignation while Nelson was away in China. This would mean the elevation of a New Dealer whom the cabal wanted to put in power in the War Pro duction board. At any rate the intrigue suc ceeded and the New Dealers' candidate, Mr. Krug, was appoint ed to head the WPB. It is a victory for the little group whom Mr. Wilson charges with provok ing dissension and whom Mr. Nel son refused to discharge possi bly because he was afraid of them himself. Mr. Krug is a staunch New Dealer, one of the Wisconsin group who believe in public ownership. He was the chief power engineer for the Tennes see Valley Authority and has been director general of priori ties and vice-president in charge of WPB's program division for the last two years.
