Jap planes come out, from their Indo-China bases and blast Admiral Halscy's 3rd fleet as ours would have done If a Jap fleet had ventured that close to their bases? Are the little yellow men SHORT OF PLANES? If so, this life-line' to the south Is a bad piiico to tie. short. ON?, might assumo that they were caught by surprise as the dispatches insist they have been before. I3ut we have a defin ite report that Admiral Halscy's fleet, on IUi way south from For mosa, was shadowed by Jap scout planes. These scout planes must have reported our presence and our direction. Why didn't the Jap land-based planes, thus warnqd, swarm out to'me5t lis and destroy us? Again the only answer that seems to make sense is that they lacked the planes. If they had them, at the right place at the right time, it certainly looks as if they would have used them. AS this is written, only light cruisers have been reported in the naval force convoying the Jap troopships. Admiral Nlmltz re ports' that it Is now known that one, ot the Japs' newest and big gest battleships was sunk and an other of the same class badly damaged in, the Lcyte naval bat tles. Are the little yellow men even shorter of warships than wc have thought? YOUR map will tell you that II our navy can penetrate drop into the South China sea, in great force, we must have the Jap fleet Split. It Is beyond our ability to be lieve that they wouldn't keep a lot of their naval strength up around their home Islands. It etjinds to reason that, they must maintain another, sizable force.

By Chariot V Stanton IJPARLY every newspaper we pick up these days contains "columns of comment on the German breuk-through. Arm chair generals and amateur strategists, columnists, military analysts, home-town editors, and even military leaders are Attempting to outline strategy, and find scapegoats. While we make no claim of being a military analyst, we believe the strategy surrounding the German counterthrust is easy to explain. In fact, any high school boy who has ever played a gane of football is perfectly familiar with the plan. If you doubt that fact, just approach any member of the Roseburg high school team who played against the Grants Pass Cavemen last Armistice day. The Indians had the Cavemen backed up to their own five yard line where Grants Pass was in possession of the ball. The obvious play was a punt out to the middle of the field. Roseburg reinforced its strength in the line, hoping to block the kick. Every spectator expected a punt. But instead of kicking, the Grants Pass quarterback called one of those plays that makes a man a hero if it works and a chump if it fails. Lutz, star backfield man on the Grants Pass team, took the ball six yards behind his own goal line. His interfer ence (tanks) ripped a hole through the forward line, while his downfield blockers (airforce and mobile artillery) took out the defensive tacklers. Lutz went the length of the field for a touchdown. Rundstedt's legions failed to reach their goal (Antwerp) because the allied defensive end (Patton), who had crossed the line of scrimmage and was racing in to block the punt, sprinted, out and tackled Rundstedt so hard from the side, that the Germans lost the ball (the offensive). We lost a lot of yardage, but we're still across the midfield stripe in Germany's defensive territory. We'll have a hard job get ting back down to pay dirt, but with superior weight in both the line and backfield we know that a touchdown is in sight even if it has been temporarily delayed. That we believe explains the strategy. Who was to, blame at Grants Pass? Was the captain at I'M AFRAID THAT'S X TH' WORM TURNS WHUff MAV ' HAPPEN ) AN' SUCCESS TURNS.

Doris Mc Whorter, war food assistant, as signed to. the county agent's of fice for six months in connection With the food production and con servation program, will conduct the survey. Eight states, including Oregon, are making a fat salvage survey to determine ways and means of increasing the salvage of fa(s needed in greater quantities in the manulacture ol war materi als. Housewives are requested by the War Food administration to save all fats not required in cook ing or other household uses and to turn in all surplus fats reg ularly to local butcher shops. The need for fats is greater than ever in providing materials and equipment for the armed forces. An acute shortage in fats required for the war effort is ex pected unless greater quantities are salvaged by housewives and turned in to collecting centers.
