IN the Philippines, our warships penctrntp Jap minefields into Ormoc bay and there Is a naval battle that seems (0 have ended In a near draw, as we and the Japs eaeh lost a destroyer. Our purpose, of course, was to stop Jap reinforcements from Touching Ijylo. DON'T let yourself be fooled about this Leyto fighting. It's tuugh and bitter and bloody. Kred Humpson, AP writer on the spot, says the Japs are learning by ex perience and are making fewer futile suicide charges and gener ally are handling their men with greater care. I Maybe realizing there AREN'T plenty more where these came from. I REALIST General Hansen, on Salpan, says: "Substantial damage has been inflicted by our B-21)s on the Musashima aircraft factory in Tokyo, but it hasn't been destroyed by a damned sight."

"CRACK" Chinese troops march out or the NORTHWEST to meet the Japs driving toward Kwciyang and the Burma road. The dispatch adds: "These rein forcements may be from the long-immobilized forces that have been BLOCK ADI NO the COMMUNIST-CONTROLLED section of China." General Chou En-Lai, the com munist leader, has been In Chung king recently. THE point is that under the dire threat of the Jap advance to ward the Burma road and Chung king Chiang and the communists may be GETTING TOGETHER. Through all the long years of the Jap war, they've been keeping forces WATCHINfi EACH OTHER Instead of fighting the Japs. ALL this la coining to us as a shock r-'OvV.

The Oregon Wildlife federation, meeting recently in Cor vallis, devoted a major part of its debate to the matter of serious depletion of fish life in Oregon streams, adopting, as the outgrowth of its discussions demand for an investi gation of the activities of the State Fish commission. The federation also is seriously concerned with the problems raised by federal flood control, irrigation and power pro. jects, which call for construction of high dams, thereby in terfering with fish conservation and propagation. It is time, in our opinion, that this problem of preserva tion of fish and wildlife received a little serious thinking 4-... ATT 1..

Postwar planners are predicting a tremendous tourist business in Qrcgon when travel restrictions are lifted and tires and gasoline again become plentiful. Good fishing streams are the best attractions we can offer to secure find hold tourists. Circulation of tourist dollars benefits every lesident of the state, regardless of -whether or not he is directly connected with any phase of the recreation indus try for release of money in a community results in increas ed production and business. Jt is a certainty that at the rate our fishine streams have been deteriorating in the last fer any great length of time nig .- fu iiiuuiciiiuiit wj jjeupie Due to the fact that so many young men are in military service, as well as to greatly reduced local and tourist fishing because of gasoline rationing, the Umpnua river, for in stance, was fished more lightly In any recent year. There should have been record catches by nearly every fisherman fortunate enough to get a chance to whip the Btream. Yet it was one of the poorest seasons. Year after year the fish life in the Umpci.ua river has been growing less and less. One of the very few 'streams in Oregon to show an im provement this season was the Rogue river where commer cial fishing was stopped several years ago. The Rogue river i ,i?fl.,e.,MPW,d' Commercial fishermon try to convince us t)iiit stream pollution, disturbance of spawning beds, and factors other than the use of nets aro responsible for reduc tion of fish life.: But experience on the Rogue river shows that streams may be expected with fish if netting is halted caps. We are dangerously near species of salmon and steelhoad ftat a time when we will most nued good fishing, we are, facing wiuaiiger oj permitting our streams to he wrecked bo- j yond immediate rupajr. Full recovery is possible within a few seasons if wo act at once to halt commercial operations. ! Lepresenlod by an able lobby with unlimited exnense account, the commercial fishing industry has been able to j block efforts of sports fishermen in past years to save the i Iish lile ol our streams. They may be depended upon to j be back just as vigorously at the forthcoming session. ! liul if we want to preserve boys who will soon bo coining and if we dusiru to gain greatest ist travel, which is expected to after the war, we should, through action of the nuxt lcgis- iinuio, taKe llie nets out ol all Columbia, push outside trolling far enough from the mouths ! of rivers to provide protection for .salmon uUeinptimr to! enter, and adopt a program of fish life by construction of ing migrations. Succeeding or failing in any ures, we should, nt least, demand a State Fish commission which will work to build up to extract lor the profit of available. the truth when have hud it. we OUGHT to THE cables have been devoting almost as much space to GRECE as to the shooting war in the rest of Europe a fairly dependable Indication of the im portance of wliut is happening there. GUESSING again, this seems to lie about what has happened: The British BACKED (and pro pose to GO ON backing) the pres ent government In Greece - which is a CARRY-OVER from the pre war government of King George (of Greece). The communist minded Greek "leftists" object bitterly and have started what amounts to civil war. The British are backing up the "oflidal" government WITH ARMED FORCE and apparently Intend to .stand put, as Churchill tells (he house of commons that "Britain will resist any attempt to 'Impose hy violence a com munist ilk-tutorship' in strife-torn Gtvei-p and is READY TO USE HER ARMY If necessary to main tain oilier."

CREOMULSION fur CBuehs, Lhcst Celdj. I loncMtfj From an Inside View Tuesday. Dec. 5. we are sched uled to consider the bill which will prevent the upping of the social security tax rate. It is com monly referred to as the bill to "freeze" the social security tax rate. There may be some misunder standing regarding this proposal. The proposed "freeze" will have no effect at all upon the benefit payments made under the social security law. It merely has to do wiin me utx luvieu. The facts seem to Indicate rather dearly that there is no necssity to double the amounts now collected from all employes and all employers for the social security fund. The fund aready built up is now 26 and 1-2 times the amount annually paid Put In benefits. Statistics made on the basis of lite Insurance formulas indicate that the present rate could be continued lor ten years if necessary without damage to the reserve. The increase from one per cent to two oer cent, if it is not stopped by act of con gress, will be nothing more than a straight gross income tax of one per cent on all wages IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHRR TAXES NOW BEING PAID. The money will be paid In under the name pi tne social security fund, but it will be used by the treas ury just about the same as any other tax revenue. The social security fund is pure ly an entry on the bopks. The money is spent as fast as (t comes in. What happens is that govern ment bonds are purchased with the funds as they are received. Intcrett at a rale of ?48 per cent is paid. It is all an elaborate book keeping transaction apparently designed for the snip nurnnso nf collecting more tax money with out tne peopie realizing tnat they are being taxed. It is reported that, if congress passes legislation to freeze the rate at one per cent for the en suing year, the President will ve to it. There is some discussion of lacKing it onto the extension of the war powers act which, of v-viuise, me president could not veto. It remains to bp seen wheth er or not this Will bo done in the senate. 8:00 Boxing Pout, Gillette with Tami Mauriello ve.
