THfc Russian crossing Of the Danube south of Budapest Is making promising progress. The led!? have crossed the range of low mountains that runs to the southwest from the surrounded city and are heading down onto the plain that leads to Austria, only 90 miles away to the north west. The Germans say they are evacuating Pest, on the Danube's east bank, but are going to defend Buda, oh the west bank, to the bloody end. . The Russians are swinging AROUND BOTH cities. THERE arc confused rumors of fighting between civilians and German police in both Budapest and Vienna. In such fighting, the nazi police hold the' GUN hand. THERE are Interesting intima tions from Moscow that Ou tline Is nearing for the BIG RUS SIAN PUSH, that will touch off the eastern front from end to end as the western front Is already touched off. DN the western front, watch the Nljmegen salient In Holland. The knockout punch in tile west could easily be launched from there. Among other things, MONTGOMERY Is waiting there for the RIGHT MOMKNT. IN the Philippines, the .laps claim they they've landed air borne troops In the vicinity of our airfields on eastern Loyto. Ac cording to the Jap story, they came from four transport planes. Indicating that their number is not large. They are apparently suicide squads, under orders to do all the damage they can he fore being killed. The Ormoc baltle goes on In a tropical downpour, with the laps beginning to make suicide charges -often an admission that the end Is near. THE Chinese arc evacuating civilians from Kwelyang, on the Burma road up toward Chungking. At the Burma end of the road, Chinese and Ameri cans have the Japs driven out of all hut ONE town. The Japs are apparently swap-, ping the Burma end of the road I for the CHUNGKING end. j Intimations continue that they ( hi"o getting out of Burma. i By Charles V. Stanton WE Americans are a peculiar people. We do things in a peculiar way. Witness our War Loan campaigns. In other countries, even those with which we are allied, stern measures of compulsion mark government financing. But here in the United States we have, in every previous bond campaign, subscribed more money than was requested, but hiid to be coaxed, persuaded, inspired, entertained and excited. We hl-e not lacking in patriotism. We are seriously con cerned with the progress of the war effort; we could not be otherwise with our boys on the firing line. We realize the investment value of war bonds. We buy freely and gen erously when we get around to it. But we demand a cer tain amount of stimulation. One of the strongest stimulating agencies is the motion picture industry. The motion picture theater, as an Ameri can institution, plays a great part in our daily lives, for education and entertainment. It has been particularly ag gressive in promotion of war bond sales. The bond premiere at the Indian theater in Roseburg to night is an example of what is being done throughout the land. The theater management is donating its facilities, spend ing a large slim of money to bring one of the season's out standing screen hits for a preview, and is admitting, free of charge, persons who have bought bonds through outright sales or through payroll deductions. In addition, the Rose burg theater management is sponsoring a matinee for kid dies, Dec. 18, and recently presented free shows for bond buyers at both theaters. Few people realize the extent of the sacrifice by riiotion picture exhibitors in sponsoring these shows. There is a heavy Operating, or overhead, cost in the movie business. The tost of the film is high particularly on the film being shown in Roseburg. This means that 1,500 or more people who see the show at the preview tonight will not pay regular admission prices should the film be returned at a later date On regular booking. But the motion picture industry, from top to bottom, has been far from niggardly in Its contribution to the war ef fort. Actors have given freely of their time, at personal financial loss, to tour the country on behalf of war bond sales and have visited battle areas throughout the world to entertain personnel in combat zones. Several have sacri ficed ;i,their, Hyea, through accident or illness while giving cooperation in- fields of war bond sales or overseas enter tainment. Producers and exhibitors alike have utilized their re sources and facilities in all-out aid to war activities. Their flair for showmanship, unbounded energy and box office sacrifice have been put to use as major contri butions for stimulation both at home and abroad. But the movie industry is not alone in this program of .public-proddng. Equal contribution is being made by the radio industry' and its personnel. ' ' Newspapers, too, have been a powerful factor in every j phase of the war effort. Advertising art has reached a high peak of perfection in support of war bond sales. Millions of dollars worth of advertising has appeared in magazines and newspapers throughout the nation, urging public buying of war bonds. These advertisements have been paid for by firms and individuals. They have cost the government nothing. Roseburg business firms combined very early in the war to cooperate with the government in all phases of war activity in which advertising could aid, and their Victory Council, in identical or similar form, is now generally followed in nearly every major city ami town where newspapers are published. Through the motion picture and radio industries, news papers and magazines, and through advertising appeal at its highest peak ol efficiency, the American public is re ceiving the coaxing, entertainment and inspiration it tra ditionally associates with a campaign of this kind. It may seem' peculiar, when we stop to ponder, that we should require till this stimulation to do the thing we all realize is essential, but it's a darned sight better to do it this way than to tolerate compulsory savings which beyond I : 1 . 1 I . : l ... ,- , , . . i,m.Miuii nuum ue imposed upon us a we iaileu to luty Donas through the medium of our normal type of appeal. State's Higher Schools Need re Enrollment Growth tjp Be Heavy, Speaker Says; Legislative Aid Asked Requests to the stale legisla ture for funds with which to con struct buildings needed by. the state's institutions of higher ed ucation are considered very rea sonable when future needs are studied. Dr. Earl Wells, head of the public speech department of Oregon State college, said in Roseburg Tuesday, speaking at a pUb'lc meeting sponsored by the Kiwanis club. The program was arranged by a committee which included Mrs. Gooico Houck, representing Ore gon State college; Kenneth Barneburg, Southern Oregon Normal school; Verna Carruth ers, Oregon College of Education, Monmouth, and W. H. Gerrctsen, University of Oregdn. The State Board of Higher Ed ucation Is asking the legislature to appropriate 52,237,000 to fl nonce new buildings during the coming hlennluin, Dr. Wells stat ed, and a 10-year program, call ing tor expenditures amounting to slightly more than $5,000,000, has been outlined. The amount requested, however, is 40 per cent less than estimates furnished by individual Units of the state edu cational system. Heavy Growth Foreseen In 1939, when the state, had a population of 1,003,000, schools ot higher education had a peak enrollment of 11,509 students. An ticipated normal growth will re sult In population of 1,301,000 and an enrollment In colleges and universities ol 15.800 by 1950, he predicted, while by 1900, there will bo a population of 1,775,000 with enrollment of 21,500. The speaker emphasized that these calculations are based upon a nor mal rate of increase. It, as is generally predicted, the state ex periences a great Industrial boom, both population and school enroll ment figures will be Increased proportionately. During I he past 15 years, Dr. Wells reported, the legislature has provided only $100,000 , for buildings in the higher education system, or less money than was appropriated In any other of the western stales. Including Idaho. Nevada and Wyoming. At the present time, he said, only 52 per cent of the total phy sical plant of the state system re sulted from state appropriations, the balance having been financed through gifts, federal grants, stu dent fees and other sources. In the past 10 years 15 buildings, worth $3,000,000 have been built from non-state funds. A large number of visitors met with the Kiwanis club to hear Dr. Wells' address. Klwnnians were advised thai the club will hold its regular noon luncheon Tuesday, Dec. 12, and on that same evening will hold the annual Christmas par ties for members, their ladies and invited guests at the Country club, starting at 8:30 o'clock.

NOTED COMET RECALLED Editor News-Review: In the Dec. 3rd issue of the Sunday Oregonian, a story was printed on page 12 under caption, "Scientist Says 1882 Comet Brightest in Past 150 Years." It was a very interesting ar ticle, for as a boy just past 10 years of age, I distinctly remem ber that comjt of 1882. My parents lived on a farm one and a half miles N. W. of Norfolk. Madison county, Nebras ka, and I recall the delight with which my parents, sisters and brother viewed that wonderful and, to us, awesome sight. The comet appeared to us In the eastern sky some distance above the horizon, and extended from a point in the northeastern sky to a point in the southwest ern sky, and was very bright and distinct.

We love Cisco and Main Line is one of our favorite shows of the w cek likewise Bulldog Drummond and Denny, with their fascinatin' accents, are favorites of ours. Wings Over the West Coast is music to our ears just the kind we like best -so, you can see we wouldn't get much c'.onc it they were on daytime hours. In our very plush new home, we have the opportunity of listening or not, just as we like, since each of fiee has its own speaker and there are some programs we nev- ,er miss.
