MOT much has been said about it as yet, but keep' your eye on the' Russian army that is head ing northwest from Warsaw.' Its purpose Is undoubtedly to push through to the Baltic and CUT OFF East Prussia. (The Ger mans, of course, may be able to stop it. They'll certainly put everything they have available into the effort.) HOW fur they hope to go (if. not stopped by too much Gel'-' man power)' only the Russians' know.' BUt they have two an nounced commitments: 1. To take away a slice of east ern ' Germany, including Silesia und East Prussia, to bo-given to the PoIcb in return for that part of east Poland that is being in corporated into Russia. 2. To punish the German war makers. THE Russians obviously do not trust us and the British to ad minister stern punishment to the German war criminals. They re member, doubtless, the last war, when we did a lot of talking about it but punished no Ger mans. They DO trust themselves to have' no squeamish scruples. Lining hazi leaders up against a wall and shooting them will be all in the day's work for a nation that has Conducted grand-scale purges among Its own population. KILLING defeated Germans is grim business. We and the British just CAN'T bring our selves to do It. Our inhibitions against such conduct go too deep under the skin. ' But who can say that It isn't the way to handle the German problem? The last War certainly proves that over-moderation Isn't tho way. Besides, one wonders If this business of lariatieal indoctrina tion can be handled in any other manner. I N the 1'atlfle, note that for DAYS llalsey's fleet has been sailing up and down the China coast, sending out Its planes to blast Jap Installations on shore and sinking Jap ships. Get out your map and take a look at this Inland ocean that' ever since Pearl Harbor has been OWNED by the Japs. You'll be enormously Impressed. Where is the Jap fleet whose units ought to be sallying out and smacking our bold ships? Where are the Jap land-based planes that ought to be coining offshore and bombing us to the bottom? These ships we arc sinking are liie Jap life line to their selflnl TUblHir and oil kingdom In the 'south. Along these shores Of the South China sea, often within sight of the breakers, runs the ONLY rail line by which the Japs can reach their empire to the south. You may be quite tare our BOTTLENECK EXPOSED By Charles V. Stanton f CORES of new .-homes soon may be started in Douglas county aa a result of conferences held in Roseburg this week. Puzzled by failure of people in an acute housing shortage 'area to seize priorities offered for new residen tial construction, James E.' Maxwell, representative of the National Housing agency, learned that many people de sire to build homes but are the NHA, -which has been pounded on the back by the War Production board to relieve Roseburg area,; is pounding crease inventories in retail lumber and material yards. Good news for Myrtle Creek and Glide is contained in the announcement that Maxwell has urged NHA headquar ters to withhold recommendations for cutbacks in prior ties from 85 to 10 at Myrtle Creek and 10 to 5 at Glide. He is irging that existing priority allotments be retained until building materials can be made available. I-The War Production board has been insisting that the National Housing agency make available in the Roseburg area enough homes to accommodate workers in essential industry. Sawmills, nearly all of which are engaged in cutting boards for use by the army and navy in crating ordnance supplies materials critically needed in view of enlarged operations in the Pacific have been unable to sustain capacity produc tion because living accommodations are hot available for workmen and their families. The NHA made a large number of residential construction priorities available in the Roseburg area, but many persons who received authority to build failed to exercise the privi lege, 'while others, after making application, failed to follow up with a request for priorities. ' ;Meeting in Roseburg with dealers handling building sup plies, Mr. Maxwell learned that lumber such as siding, floor-1 ing, interior finish, molding, Nearly all of these supplies are furnished through local mills yards throughout Oregon are burg, where the need is greatest, have extremely low in ventories. Mr. Maxwell has urged, through NHA headquarters, that WPB immediately . channel a materials into Douglas county is expectod nmny new residences will be under process of construction. It is to be hoped retail dealers in Roseburg lose no time in restocking their yards if for undoubtedly future demand Industrial growth has not stopped by any means. In fact, I some very important developments may be expected soon, i Veneer and plywood plants are expected to start building! in Douglas county in the very near future. Additional mills' aro contemplated. Each of tfiese will add to the already i acute housing problem, for their workmen must have places' in which,.to live. In fact, the housing shortage is the most; Bjyrious bottleneck in establishing new industry. XTKe: Roseburg .' chamber of mended for the diligence with lieve the' housing condition. It has been cooperating closely with the'NHA and in performing liaison with retail dealers. At least the root of the trouble has been found. It prob ably will take a littlo time to but, in the meantime, persons to file their applications and when materials are made available they will need lose littlo time in getting construction LOCAL NEWS Shops and Visits Mrs. Au drey Gabriel of Drew shopped and visited friends in Roseburg Thursday..

SURPRISINGLY, Jap opposition to our land advance on Luzon is heaviest on our flank facing the mountainous NORTHERN part of the island. Can it be that the little yellow men had a large part of their turn's up there anil we CUT THEM OFF by landing at Lingayen? it doesn't sound reasonable. Still, why are they letting us push closer and ever closer to Manila? Are they going t copy our stand on Batoan? ON the home front, SCARCITY is becoming a subject of grim ing Importance.

"Last year Oregon had the 13th highest record) pf accidents in the U. S. One thou find accidents and from two to three deaths were reported every week." . , . Bollinger explained that ..'the industrial accident commission charged from 5c to S27.50 per $100 of payroll to carry tho insurance risk, the rates varving according to Sil different classes of indus tries and the record of accidents for each employing unit, and that the cost of operating- the com mission represented only about 5 per cent of Ihe income derived from charges made. Claims Record Cited Last year 60,400 industrial ac cident claims were presented to the commission and only 110 of them wen" contested in the courts. Eighty Individuals were rehabilitated, last year, with the assistance of the commission and 13 of these individuals now earn more compensation than they did before they wore injured.

And, may we remind you again, that your Service Salute will be heard at 8 o'clock tonight for this one time only. We'll leave the game long enough to bring you the news at 9 o'clock, but aside from that you'll hear it all. As you probably know we're back on the commercially-sponsored list for Name That Song at 1:30 on Sunday afternoon, so send in your song titles and per haps some one else around here will win another check. Don't overlook "Your America" at 1 and Let's Face the Issue at 2 . . . and then at 2:30 there's The Shadow. Quick As a Flash at 3 brings the famous Ellery Queen as your guest detective for the week, and, dropping down to the evening hours, t hero's Karl Wil son at 7, Ramona at 7:15 and the Columbus Boy Choir for a full half-hour from 7:30 to 8.
