MacArthur's communique to day made brief mention of Moro tal, reporting that enemy night raiders caused "slight damage."

In a general discus sion of tne liquor control pror lem, Douglas county representa tives urged closer supervision by the commission and financial aid to the Cities to provide tunus lor increased law enforcement. Mayor Stadeiman informed tne meeting that a suggestion lias been offered the commission that it set up a state controlled pro gram for treatment of chronic alcoholics and that Jurisdiction for commitments of afflicted per- .ions to Institutions for treatment be lifted from county courts and placed in the hands of the stare, The theory behind the sugestion, he stated, Is that relatives and courts often delay too long the filing of a complaint and a pa tient is often beyond possibility of cure before reaching an institu tion. "As long as the public has ac cepted resposibllltv for stores where ilauor Is sold, many peopre believe the public also must ac cept the responsibility for those who, through weakness or other causes, are affected, " stadeiman said. He pointed out that the present blacklist system is ineffective and said that the proposed method would, in many cases, by reliving lamines ana counties of the nnan cial burden permit the state to provide a cure in time for re demption. The proposal has only been suggested, he said, and the com' mission Is endeavoring to learn whether or not legislation to make the plan operative Is cm- sireo.

Tne league, he said, plans bills to aid small towns which are in serious financial condition be cause of suddenly increased pop ulations resulting irom tne war emergency; will offer a bill for retirement of public officials: will ask for clarification of the budget law, ana will ask lor legislation requiring platting of suburban areas to conform to street designs ana zoning regulations of adja cent cities.

Churchill's Forecasts on End of War Is Revised (Continued from page t) remember that the enemy whose country is invaded has also the supreme stimuli which we our selves responded to in the very dark days of 1940 and 1941." Churchill lauded the fightini? of the French troops near the Swiss frontier, where they slash ed through to the Rhine, and de clared it showed the French army "would rise again and that the French soldier, properly led and properly equipped, is unsurpass ed." The weather had badly hamer ed the American and British forces at the northern end of the front, he said, but the battle was continuing with vigor and "im mense losses have been Inflicted on the enemy." The allies, too. had suffered, he declared, adding there had been approximately 40.000 British and Canadaian casualties in the drive into Holland and Germany. E Phone 842 I A t i. N L VERN M.
