In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
lE'RE getting a little news
again.
The U. S. First (farthest north)
army swings a Sunday punch at
the Siegfried line just north of
Aachen Aix-la-Chappelle to read
ers of Browning). The assault is
preceded by a fleet of nearly 3,
000 allied warplanes and a heavi
ly concentrated artillery barrage.
On I he heels of the shells and the
bombs, while the enemy defend
rrs are still shaken and punch
drunk from the rain of explo
sives, the infantry moves in.
A gain of about two mi!?s in
the first hour is reported in the
early dispatches.
IT seems to be quite an affair.
One of our correspondents
cables: "I doubt if we'll stop now
until we reach the Rhine. (One
man's opinion, basojl on lack of
knowledge of what the Germans
will be able to do.)
f THE attack is on the Siegfried
I I line fortifications, which
were built BEFORE multi-ton
bombs and modern concentrated
barrages were invented. It should
give us an idea as to how effec
tive these methods will be against
prepared defenses.)
THE British still hold the Nij
megen corridor, with its milc-and-a-half-long
bridge over the
lower Rhine channel. Against
this corridor with its strategic
bridge at the tip, the Germans
have been launching some of
their heaviest counter-attacks
since Normandy.
So far, these attacks have
FAILED.
There is a report as this is
written that the nazis have start

War Policies, Peace Framing CaSi
For N on-Part isan Statesmanship,
Wayne Morse, Senator Aspirant, Says
The American people have the right to expect and Insist that
the United States senate and the president shall agree upon a non
partisan peace, Wayne Morse, republican candidate for United
States senator, declared last night In a radio address originating In
the studios of Roseburg radio station KRNR and released as well
from station KALE, Portland.
"No matter who is in the White
House after November 7. be he
democrat or republican, the war
policies of our government must
be conducted on a non-partisan,
non-political basis," the candidate
said. "Our people expect and have
the right to be assured trom all
our political leaders in both the
democratic and republican par
ties that the war aims and ob
jectives of our country in this
war will receive the united and
non partisan support of all our
officials of government. The mil
itarv objectives and plans must
be left to our military leaders,
who are doing the greatest job In
military history.
Statesmanship Needed
"We have the right to expect
E. SMITH
Only last night a dozen red
roses arrived at the hospital for
Smith from President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. It was Mr. Roosevelt
who nicknamed Smith the "Hap
nv Warrior" when he nominated
Smith for the presidency in 1928.
The close political and person
al friendship between Mr. Roose
velt and Smith cooled, however,
in 1130. when Smith took what
he called "a walk" from Mr.
Roosevelt and the democratic
party and supported Alf I.andon
for tbe presidency. He again on
posed the new deal in 1910,
stumping for the republican can
didate. Wrfjhdell L. Willkie.
In Washington, President
Roosevelt issued a statement in
which he said "the country loses
n true patriot" in Smith's death.
The president naid in part:
"Al Smith had qualities of
heart and mind and noul which
not onlv endeared him to those
who came under the spell of his
dynamic presence in personal as
sociation but also marie him the
idol of the multitude."

National Unify in
Taxes Planned by
Western Group
PORTLAND. Oct,-' 4 (AP)
Representatives of 11 western
states taxpayers associations laid
plans today for a national organ
ization to suonort tax-conserva
tion measures and develop a uni
fied tax nrogram.
Mai. Gen. Albert H. Beedo, ex
ecutive committee chairman of
the Washington State Taxpayers'
association, said unififed activity
of taxpayer grouns wasi necessary
to keen "organized minorities"
from having a "field day."
"We must all be marehlni In
the same direction," he said. "The
Pacific coast cannot be headed
in one direction and the Atlantic
coast in another, the opposite di
rection, with the central states
going some other way."
A federal law requiring the
government to eomnensate state
and local agencies for tax reve
nue lost because of federal land
purchases was urged bv an Ore
gon state tax commissioner.
As an examnle of diminishing
revenue. Earl B. Dav cited Polk
county, which he said was forced
to boost taxes 9 per cent after
much of its land was taken over
for Camp Adair. Removal of the
land from tax rolls cut 10 school
districts' revenue an average of
50 per cent, he said.
Dav said local revenues from
federal forests have averaged
only a cent an acre, whereas pri
vate timberland yields an average
of 39 cents.
