J, 1944 2.05 In the Day's News : (Continued from page 1) on the beaches DOWN, our troops went ashore from the transports. The Jap navy was TOTALLY ABSENT. ONE LONE i JAP PLANE came overhead and was shot down. "With NO, Jap. navy or air force to threaten them, our battleships moved along the beach blasting Jap pillboxes and shore defenses with their huge pnd accurate guns. Closer inshore . our' rocket firing craft did their deadly work. That's what uirjand naval su perority mean in modern war. WITH the way cleared for them by this curtain of fire, our men hit the beaches In their land ing boats, seizing three beach heads certainly and perhaps a fourth along an area of some 70 or .80 Des of Leyte's east coast. . They got ashore and Inland some 500 yards (say five blocks) before the Japs fired a shot. Then the little yellow men opened up with artillery and mortars (mor tars are the favorite Jap weap on, and they use them rather . well). From there on, Che going got tougher as it always does. That's about all we have In the way of detail as this is written. WHERE are the Jap navy and alrforce? They are BEING TAKEN CARE OF by other units of our navy farther north. In the past nine days our task force 58 has destroyed 1333 Jap planes. That's team work. IACK of the Leyte beachheads is a broad flat area, described in the dispatches as ideal for tank warfare. It is Ideal also for AIRFIELDS. From these air fields (when we get them In shape) Davao on Mindanao will be only 275 miles and Manila and Luzon will be only 310 miles. That is easy range for FIGHT-ER-ESCORTED bombers. IN his communique announcing the landing, MacAitluir anllcl pates that the Philippines will be retaken. The strategic results of their recapture, he adds, will be DECISIVE. Japan's conquered island em pire In the south will he cut off from the Japanese mainland. "HALF A MILLION men (Japs) will be cut off without hope of support," he says, "to be ulti mately destroyed at our leisure." As late as a year ago, this would have been hard for us to believe. But, within the past year, we've seen this by passing stra tegy of Mat-Arthur's in operation. We know It WORKS. WE lire torn between two opinions Relative to the third measure appearing; upon the Nov. 7 election ballot a measure authorizing the "Oregon War Veterans' fund-" The measure would empower the state to issue bonds with which to finance loans to veterans on farms and homes. The mental conflict results from the fact that the federal government already has passed the "G. I. Bill of Rights," providing benefits for veterans, an act which was passed by congress after the Oregon proposal was ordered by the legislature to be submitted jto the voters. Consequently, if the Oregon bill is approved, there could be a duplication of benefits. Although no regulation has yet been adopted, it is quite probable that a veteran will be required to elect whether he will accept federal or state benefits, and will probably be prohibited from taking both. the measure is almost identical in character with that passed to aid Oregon veterans of the first World war, al though it eliminates the $500 cash bonus feature of the former act. Because the amendment now before the voters would pro vide for veterans of the current war much the same bene fits that were furnished by the state of Oregon for its vet erans of the 1917-ig conflict, it might be well to touch briefly upon the results of the former act. The World War Veterans State Aid commission made property loans totalling $30,882,525 to 13,144 veterans to aid in buying homes, farms and business properties. Cash bonuses, with accrued interest, amounted to approximately ?5,000)00. The cost to the state of Oregon has been in the neighborhood of $11,000,000. Although the voters au thorized a two-mill tax levy to pay off bonds, the levy has amounted to only about one-half mill. The cash bonus fea ture, the expensive part of the earlier act, is eliminated from the current proposal. The chief cost to the state from the administration of the original act has resulted from the fact that .money wag loaned at an interest rate of four per cent while the average rate of interest paid on bonds was four 'and one-half per cent. ! louring the depression years tne commission acquired considerable real estate through delinquencies on loan payments, but it has since sold nearly bil properties so acquired, has raised interest rates on new ...... ..J ....-II .l ! tiuviutva jihu wiii piouaoiy snow a prom, miner than a lOSS. Many errors were-made in the matter of appraisals, types of loans, etc. The experience gained in administration of thf act now in force would prevent such-, errors occurring again and the measure now before the voters probably would never prove an expense to the taxpayers. vojecuons to tne amendment are that the G. J. Bill of Rights provides loans of 50 per cent of the value of the security up to a maximum of $2,000, thus eliminating at least some of the necessity for the proposed state measure. also is pointed out that, whereas the interest rate on pri vate money in the early lJ20's was eight and ten nor cent. ample private capital is available at present at five and six per cent. llie abundance of private money and current lew interest rates, it is claimed, make state loans unneces sary. On the other hand, the state loans would nerJians be $4,000 or $'1,500, .double, those provided under tjie federal measure.. The act of providing money to veterans to buy homes, farms or businesses would serve to hell) stabilize population. We feel particularly indebted to the State of Oietron for. the help given us personally following the last World war, when we were aided in buying a home. We feel there is nothing too good for our boys returning from service. If the btale of Oregon can help them establish themselves quickly, it will be to the state's benefit. Because Oregon can profit from past experience and can probably operate vet erans loans at little or no cost to the taxpayers, and despite federal benefits and availability of local capital, we intend, personally, to vote for the Oregon War Veterans Fund.

Consequently, if you heard It, you'll know whether you liked it or not and if you didn't, will you join me tonight for an earful of same? The 6:15 Screen Test, 8 o'clock Here Comes the Band and Sher lock at 10 we're sure of they're old friends tried and true, and we'll make Mr. Shane's acquaint ance toniirht. According to net work publicity, this is comedy mystery Sherlock is straight mystery and Count of Monte Cristo (which you'll hear tomor row night at ,10 is romance mystery. Anyway on the Sherlock Holmes straight-mystery tonight you'll hear the tale of how he comes to the rescue of beauty In distress, aids a romance, ex poses a criminal, outwits his ad; versaries and brings the entlrij, cast to a harmless end. Accord ing to advance dope, there won't be murder in the whole thirty minutes. They're slipping a little there, because wh.o ever heard of a whodunit without a murder? Tomorrow morning Is that very favorite morning pf all week. There's just one thing that would inwove it. and that's to have Lannv and Ginger on that morn ing too.

MAC ARTHUR calls on the Fili pinos for all the aid they can give in the way of guerrilla war fare. We know from our experi ence in France how GREAT is the aid that can be rendered by a friendly population behind the enemy lines. r HE hot spot of the Eurouean war as this Is written is the fall of Aachen. The nay.is tried to make a Stalingrad of It, but fail ed. Here's an odd note in the Aachen news: "Young German officers, many of them not long back from the Russian front, tluvw away their lives (o gain another oak leal cluster on their iron crosses waging warfare FOR VANITY." We're not fighting for vanity or for ;my wierd Bushido sui cide code. We're fighting to END THE WAR. fE'VE made a good start. But don't expect the Philip pines to fall like a ripe plum from the tree. Because of their vast strategic importance, the Japs will fight for them to t ho i death." There are 225,000 of tlieml there TO DIE. Dying In a corner i v..,,; " , ' is what the Jap doe, best.
