He says a STUPENDOUS at tack by allied air forces left the roads strewn with wrecked Ger man tanks. OUR 8th air force has been at tacking fori four straight days. SEVEN THOUSAND of our planes were- out Sunday. Four thousand went Into action Mon day. ' i (Pray for good weather.) GALLAGHER tells of heroic fighting by our men.. , . He speaks of a private -with a mashed hand who crept back to his command post for more am munition for his surrounded com rades. Told that the surrounded position would have to be avacu ntod, he answered: "To hell with that; my buddies need me and the ammunition" and started back carrying It. He was shot In the chest, shoulders and face be ing finally carried orf to an am bulance. 0' UR surrounded men holding the point of an American wedge near St. Vlth were finally overwhelmed by the enemy, and the wedge was wiped out. jrARTHER south (at last ports) several thousand of our men, practically surrounded, are holding out determinedly (Hying to keep the Germans from widen Ing the base of their wedge). Reinforcements are five miles away. IEEP these heroic deeds in mind when you read of the black market . operations in France, participated In by Ameri can soldiers. Some of these same men who reached for the easy money thai was floating around may be in these trapped and des perately fighting outfits. War Is war, and you can't always tell nhout such things. I EXCEPT for one road that Is usable only al night. Buda pest Is surrounded. The Germans in the city are believed lo he pre paring for a suicide stand. The Germans are said to be preparing a new defense line in the Itakany Jorest, on the Austrian border. . The Russians are slill advanc ing westward mirth of Budapest. ON . Christmas morning our troops landed from rnc sea and took PalamMn, last Jap port on Leyte. Mac-Arthur calls l.eytc "perhaps the greatest drfe.H in the military annals of ine Japa nese army." . The Japs had some of their best troops on Leyte. Their sen cral, Yamashila, you'll remem-bi-r, biugged that all he'd accept from MacArthur. was the "flat yes or no demanded and required from the British commander al Singapore" Yamashita bragged too soon. MAC ARTHUR reports that Jap loses on Leyte nd adjacent Samar were 112,728 killed and CATTURED. Out losi.es, Wfe v 4S ...

Bonebrake is a flight recently took In. the Westmoreland community, a section two'J1'1 jhebv8c0f0t;Hrdenc miles long and one-nail mile wide, a lavorable vote lor tne inclusion being given by the city and the district petition ing to join. Annexation of a residential area usually is postponed by its residents as long as possible. By living pit the fringes of, , a municipality, ..they, enjoy trade and entertainment facilities of the town or city but escape payment of munici pal taxes. ..... . But, when section's abutting city boundaries become con gested, the time funnily arrives when needs for fire protec tion, sanitary installations, street improvements, lights and police services make tuinexation desirable. That point al ready has been reached in West Roseburg and Edenbower, and will soon arrive in other city. 'Unless municipal services are furnished those areas within flip near future, conditions will become intolerable. th; , 4- l,l iu lff xvivlic inuuit icf.iu .o .w accommodate new homes, . Yet, as soon as building restric tions are lifted, wa can expect hundreds of new residences to rise -within the area as rapidly as carpenters can build them. There will be a big increase in population. Living quarters will be needed for these new families. Unable to find property inside the city, they will erect homes in the puburbs and, unless these areas are brought under municipal control, many of the structures will not conform to building codes and may become fire hazards. There must be pro visions for sewer installations and fire protection. Even though residents of adjacent suburban communi ties desire to postpone annexation to the city of Roseburg hs long as, possible, their health-and property risks will force them, within the near future, to seek extension of munici pal boundaries and services. BUT. uiider present conditions, the city of Roseburg could O not afford to approve enlargement of boundaries. It would not bo conducive to friendly relations if any one of the outside territories should ask to come into the city and (should, bo rejected. , Vet, to vote inclusion would be court ing serious overloading of municipal services. . Municipalities 'are limited crease in budgets. Even if the , .. ,, i ation many times, through annexation or otherw lse, only six per cent more in dollars per year could be raised to 0 administration. Roseburg s city budget is too low, e en now, ticrrnese cn cuiii.tLMiitLn, uiv , 1.-. .A' inn, additional territory? , . The state law provides lor adjustment 01 tax ia-se wueu school districts are consolidated.. We can -see no reason why this same provision should not be made applicable to consolidation of suburban, areas with municipalities. TJut a state law will be required and someone will have to initiate the mutter before the legislature. The city of Roseburg, which has much at stake in such a measure, will indeed be negligent in its duty toward its present and prospective "citizens, in our opinion, if it fails to submit a bill which will take care of a situation certain to arise in the near future. 20H3 killed, 172 missing. 8122 wounded and NAVY SECRETARY FORRES TAL concedes that Jap planes have been Indicting some losses on us In the Philippines. An nouncement of these losses, lie says, has been delayed "because we do not wish the Japanese to know what ships they have hit, nor to what extenl they have been injured, nor how soon they may be back in action." lie is worried by rumors of American losses (hat have been going around. That is UNAVOID ABLE. When people aren't given the fads, (hey LISTEN TO RU MORS. That is Just plain human nature.
