' where all the Germans come

Germans to begin with. Up to

' ' ginning to find out, they have
-been unusually successful In IM
PRESSING captives and slave
peoples into their armies (an on
', cleut practice of savage peoples
which they have revived).
But even at that their losses
must be cutting tremendously In-
to their powers of resistance.
SINCE they started at the Vit
tulu, the Russians have leap
ed forward nearly 200 miles. That
is a long road for SUPPLIES to
follow. We have been told on
.'pretty ' good authority that if
; Pat ton's supply had been able to

. big problem the Russians fucc
i now. If they arc held up, or
:. pause for any considerable length
"of time, at the Oder, we can an
sumo safely that they are having
; to wait for supplies to come up.
J UflTH the .clear vision of Jilnd
I TF sight, we can see now that
von Rundstcdt's attack in Bel
gium was a costly mistake. Bui
wo can ALSO legln to see WHY
he did It.
The German high command

coming. Coming in record-break-
: lug strength. W.c and the British
', were massing In growing num
bers on the western front. It
was clear that a finish fight at
, the front door and the back door,
' at the SAME TIME, was near.
Maybe the Americans and the
British could bo thrown BADLY

mer. A break-through clear Into
our rear, with accompanying vast
demoralization, might conceiva
bly be possible. In that event, the
Germans could turn on the Rus
- Muni while we and the British
.'; were recovering.
So the German command must
' By Charles V. Stantoo
MUE'RE patriotic American citizens. Our sons and broth
" ers are fighting overseas. We are trying to get out a
product just as vital on the fighting front as bullets. We hate
to be branded as a bunch of outlaws."
Those were the -words of a trucker, a man engaged in
hauling logs to be converted into lumber one of the most
vital of war commodities. This man, plainly exerting his
energies in a war job for a patriotic as well as profit mo
tive, has paid a number of fines because loads of logs did
not conform to state regulations. He recited how he had
lost many hours, in which he could have been bringing out
logs, because he was required to answer citations to appear
in court. He told how he frequently hauled less than a ca
pacity load because of the danger of exceeding weight
limits yet, despite his caution, received tickets for axle over
loads. The plight of the Oregon log hauler is one which is caus
ing concern to great numbers of people to whom the facts
are known.
The state highway department has worked out a formula
designed jipon weight per axle, total combined load and
numerous other factors designed to produce maximum loads,
while, at the same time, affording protection to roads and
bridges.
No one desires changes in regulations which would per
mit more damage to roads and highways than is now being
caused by logging trucks. The heavy pounding being given
pavement and macadam roads is causing increasing high
way breakdowns.
But the trucker also has his problems, for, even with the
utmost efforts to cooperate, he occasionally finds himself
involved with the law.
The experience of Kenneth Ford, owner-manager of the
Roseburg Lumber company, is an example of good coopera
tion.
Ford purchased unique and expensive scales which are
used to weigh every log as it is placed upon a truck. The
scales show accurately that the combined weight limits are
observed. He has placed what are known as "tattle-tale
chains" on each truck. As springs bend under the load of
logs, the chains mark off extent of spring depression and
reveal the weight placed on each axle. Thus, us the truck
leaves the loading platform, its weight is definitely known
and has been adjusted to conform to the law. But a swing
around a sharp curve, or a particularly heavy bump may
cause tile loaa to snnc sngntiy ana wnen me irucK readies have some new programs coming
the state highway department scales, a little more weight uo in February too. Next Mon-
i i . .... , . . , . ... , day marks the first of the Songs
has been shitted to one axle than the law allows and the by Morton Downey shows, only
Oliver gets a ucKet ana u mie.
Ford is trying his best to operate within load limits be
cause, ho declares, he saves money on equipment by under
loading rather than overloading his trucks. )
But his experience shows the need for some sort of ad
justment in regulations.
The slate highway dcpartnient is seeking to distribute
weight evenly over all wheels of a truck and trailer, because
one set of wheels pounding harder than another on the road
surface can do a great deal of damage.
But truckers claim it is impossible to load a truck evenly
and drive it any great distance without a minor shifting of
the load. Nor is it always possible to judge weights of logs.
There is a wide variation in timber weights. A log in the
Coast country, for instance, may weigh more than one of
comparable size produced inland.
Some of the truckers want a law which will exempt tnem
from penalty if their load does not contain more than a
specified number of board feet. Slate Represpptalivc Carl
C. Hill, who met with a group of truck operators at Rose
burg recently, however, said that such a measure doubtless
would result in smaller loads than at present, as the high
way department would feel impelled to set weights to con-
form to the heaviest timber rather than the average and I
as a result load limits would be cut below the present allow
able maximum.
The problem offers so many ramifications that to the
layman it seems almost impossible of solution. Yet those
fully informed on the subject should bo able to establish a
formula that would be satisfactory to all except the ad
mittedly small number of truck operators who are trying
to get by with nil they possibly can.
