You see we're beginning to smack Jap transportation by LANb as well es by sea. 1 ' ' ', i; , ,. .,!" y !fv!' HIMITZ announces 'that in last Friday's carrier-plane raid oh Manila bay we sank a Jap heavy cruiser, two luggers,, a destroyer and 14 other ships, and1 knocked out 72 Jap planes. Our pilots have been reporting that Manila bay, the Philippines' one BIG harbor, is rapidly" be coming a graveyard of Jap ship ping. (Remember what happened to Ilnbaul.) JAP resistance on Leyto Is re ported to be steadily decreas ing. Our planes there go on sinking craft bearing Jap reinforcements. So far the little yellow men have sacrificed five convoys of 33 ships and an estimated 17,000 soldiers in their efforts to reinforce Leyte. OVER-ALL news from the Pa cific is so good that we arc constantly tempted to Jump to too-rosy conclusions. The news irom China, uniformly bad, pro vides an offset that may be psychologically Useful. We learn that Nannlng, our lust far-forward alrbase In south eastern China, has fallen to the Japs. The Japs take Ilochih, only 120 miles southeast of the upper reaches of the Burma road. The bad news from China is fed out to us in little scraps. Re cent dispatches say It "seems possible the Chinese are handing out the bad news in small bits In order to AVERT A PANIC" (In China). THE reason the B-29 news is so Important Is that it indicates the beginning of a sustained at tack on Japan's productive pow er similar to that which we launched against Germany a year and a half ago. THE fighting between Aachen and Cologne continues on a scale that IS hard for us home Irontcrs to imagine. The Roer river, last nutural obstacle be fore Cologne and the Rhino, is the present center of it. Beyond the Roer the country opens up into gently rolling plain. The fighting is In rain, snow, mud and hall about as miserable as It could be. UIE'RE literally INCHING for if ward. More than a week ago e were reported 26 miles from Cologne. We're 244 miles away ns this is written. THE brutal fact Is that from Aachen to Cologne we're KILLING GERMANS. When we Kct ENOUGH Germans killed, the war in Europe will be over. Jl is becoming reasonably appar ent that the amount of territory gained isn't as important an the number of Germans killed. - SERMANY and Japan are ter rifying examples pi what : 'insiiE!44s4iiTiti PRESSURE BY By Charles UIE huve before us as we write a 28-page booklet, Yi by " 11-inch size, beautifully heavy white paper binding, entitled "Nisei In Uniform.'! .War Relocation Authority of the Department of the In terior. It has, on the inside cover page, a foreword by Franklin D. Roosevelt, In the introductory article statement probably expresses the theme as clearly as it could be defined: ,.. . It has been a common oomment of Nisei In the Army that they are fighting two battles; one to tfmash the Axis dlotators; the other to prove that Japanese-Americans are basically no different (n attitude or loyalty from the majority of our citizens whose forebears came from other lands. We, of course, have no information regarding the cost of this booklet, which was printed in the U. S. government printing office and, therefore, at the. cost of the nation's taxpayers. We have no information regarding how many of these booklets were distributed. Obviously, being litera ture from a federal agency, they were postage free and, therefore, the distribution expense must be paid by the tax payers. Perhaps we're just plain dumb we have upon occasion been so informed by persons upon whose toes we inadvert ently tramped or it may be we have warped perspective, but we fail to understand why it is necessary to utilize a large amount of paper, during a period of acute shortage, and" put burdened taxpayers to additional expense to extol the virtues of Japanese-Americans who, one would gather! from reading WRA propaganda, are winning the war in! Europe singlehanded. We have seen no similar document to tell us what won-! derf ul people are the native born Americans who are fight- i ing their hearts out around the ing of the kind extolling the of the American Indian, nor men and women of Gormnn, Swedish, Polish, Jewish or other racial extraction, who are American army. In addition to the booklet, ganda releases, there was enclosed a four-page, single-spac ed, mimeographed article dealing with the part taken by Japanese-American soldiers in ter of operation. , Press releases from the WRA invariably devoted to telling what wonderful people the Japanese Americans are are contained in editorial mail at very fre quent intervals. We would not detract one American soldiers. They are deserving of the utmost praise, but to no greater extent than other racial groups fighting in American unilorm. The purpose of this propaganda barrage, we believe, is plain to see. The War Relocation Authority, acting upon demands from military services, moved all Japanese from the Pacific coast. The WRA plans to move them back. But Grange masters in five western states have advocated exclusion of Japanese Americans, ev.en if a constitutional amendment is required. Many residents of Pacific coast and far western states have long resented the presence of a race of people who cannot be assimilated and who must and who have shown ability to production made possible through low standards of liv ing in virtually all of the coast states. So the WRA is launched upon a gigantic sympathy build ing propaganda campaign' at the expense of the American taxpayer, planning to force the Japanese back upon the Pa cific coast states whether or not thoy are wanted. WRONG can do. INDOCTRINATION IN Hungary, red tanks are strik ing westward from captured Hatvan toward the Danube NORTH or Budapest. The Rus sians hnve gained a footing on 30-mile-Iong, harrow Csepel is land, in the Danube. The island's northern end is a part of Buda pest. The Russians are still ad vancing In eastern Slovakia. Elsewhere there Isn't much news from the eastern front. B iD news comes from Washing ton. Secretary of Slale Hull RESIGNS. Long-continued ill health Is given us the reason for his resig nation -which may or may not be ti-ue. In these large national affairs, not only in America but throughout the world, 'we can't always be certain of the literal truth of what we're told from the top. (Machiavelll, in his textbook for diplomats, "The Prince," ex plained nearly four centuries ago that the acts of NATIONS can't be Judged by PRIVATE stand ards. ) Secretary Hull's resignation, for whatever reason (he HAS been ill for a long time) is bad news bmiusc nearly everybody TRUSTS him. F 1R losses a teaser Into the news by telling the corres pondents that he may go away on' n vacation that may SUR PRISE everybody. If It does, It will be truly spectacular.

The house agriculture commit tee listened as witness after wit ness presented evidence that this country now Is producing more clgaret tobacco than ever before and that the civilian supplv is nearly SO per cent greater than before tlie war. Several witnesses said tobacco growers are satisfied with the AAA production program and ar gued against any attempt to re move controls from the crop. Rep. Chapman D..

While both house and senate committees were making In quiries Into the smokes shortage, War Food Admlnsitration offi cials let It be known that In their view It cannot be blamed on allotment of a fourth of this year's cigaret type tobacco crop for export. The number of cigarets to be released by manufacturers this year Is expected by WFA officials to reach a recoi-d of about 330, 000,000.000 or about 21',000,000, 000 more than last year. With the overseas military sup ply expected to total about 91, S0O.OO0.0O0 compared with 53,100. 000.000 last year, this year's do mestic supply would drop to 237, 20O.U00.OtV Irom last year's 257, 700.om.(x. control commission, said today he would resign January 1 to en ter private business.

K- JOB , - --7 . . j i Washington News From an Inside View Argument, Sentiment, Comment By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Congressman, Fourth Oregon District WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 25. Back In session again, the con gress is proceeding with its work just as if nothing had happened. But quite definitely, considerable huppened on the seventh. It is no secret that republican members felt rather confident that the majority of the house next term would be republican. At election time the score stood 214 demo crats to 212 republicans. The clerk of the house says that, as of this morning (Saturday), the score for the new congress stands: Democrats 242, republi cans 190, progressive 1, American-Labor 1, and one still in doubt. I doubt that the score is high enough on the new deali Bide to warrant calling the new congress a rubber-stamp con gress, but there is not the slight est doubt that the administration will have majority enough in the house and senate to carry most controversial legislation. It Is too soon to get any accu rate idea as to the course of legis lation for the coming two-year term- My guess is, however, that there will be no serious contro versy on legislation involving major foreign policy matters. The battles in the new congress will occur mostly over proposals that would tend to take us toward a centralized socialistic type of gov ernment. If I may make a personal com ment at this point, I wish to ex press my thanks to the voters of the district for the fine majority given me in the election. I hope that the service rendered during these next two years will Justify lite faith placed in me. These are serious times in the history of our republic, pnd I am well aware of the responsibilities borne by ev ery member of the congress. Karly this week the crop Insur ance hill passed the house hy an overwhelming majority (only 16 negative votes). Last spring the house rejected a crop insurance hill. There were several valid objections to the previous propo- ?' , A11 of '!""" "Tr xmS ! llm nniir Kill Fii ill tt -i 1 rtlffi- in the new bill. Principal diffi culty with the former proposal was that too much of the risk was actualv borne by the gov ernment to the extent that the plan cost many millions of dollars from the public treasury. The bill recently passed limits the government liability and practic ally places the plan on a sound Insurance basis. As I see It, this plan does not put government in the Insurance business nor does it establish any precedent along that line. It simply does a Job for the protection of farm pro duction that Is too big and pro vides a type of insurance subject to shocks that are too heavy to be undertaken by privately owned companies. The senate now has the flood control hill (H. R. 4483) under consideration- The senate com merce committee, before it re ported the bill to the senate floor, Inserted an amendment (known as the Bailey amendment) which would restrict the authority of the secretary of the interior to build transmission lines for the sale of power from flood control dams. The committee amendment would have compelled the sale of power at the dams unless 90 per cent of the available power re mained unsold within three years after the completion of the dams. Then, and only then, said the amendment, could transmission lines be built bv the government. The senate defeated the amend ment by a vote of 42 to 27. Hut the senate approved an amendment authorizing the sec retary of Hie interior to con sume! and acquire only such transmission lines and tflated facilities as might be necessary to make publicly-developed power Available in wholesale quantities to distribution systems, regard" OREGON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1944. HE CAM'T-BL)T: LOWS ENOUGH TO SEE THAT less of the ownership of Buch dis tribution systems. ' The house is still debating the postwar highway bill. Many members are dissatisfied with the, large sums allocated to cities, but it is probably necessary to keep this part of the bill in order to get tne remainder ot it approved. Highway and market and access road work is a needed and worth while postwar undertaking. KRNR Mutual Brosdoastlna tstom, 140 Kllooyols. BEST BETS FOR TODAY WEDNESDAY 6:30 The Cisco Kid.
