What followed Is best told In ,the language of Fred Hampson (of Portland) and Dean Schedler, AP eyewitness correspondents: "Prisoners, gaunt, hollow-eyed, afraid of their own hopes, 'poured from the buildings. In the gather ' ing dusk they saw this was an AMERICAN tank, and as from a 6lngle throat they poured out an agonizing cry of relief and (hunks and welcome. "There was a pause, as If they were still afraid to believe their eyes. The tank stopped atop the Itwisled gate of Japanese bond ngc, and slowly the WRETCHED CAPTIVITY BEGAN SLIPPING AWAYi FROM THEM." ; . THE Japs, holding 270 of the prisoners as hostuges, bar gained for. safe conduct for (he few Japs left at Santo Tomas. This bargaining, it appears, went on for hours. But eventually the Japs were given safe conduct through our lines to that part of Manila still held by the enemy and the hostages were saved. THE fall of Manila is an event of great strategic importance. In the course of time (when its facilities arc restored after Jap destruction, plus the destruction we have been forced to inflict In Its taking) its great harbor will afford safe anchorage for our (. mighty fleet ttnit from It we can control the south China sea, which is the water route to all the seized Jap empire to the south. From it, and from the airfields on Luzon, we can wreck the lone rail line that is the Japs' land link to this seized empire- hun dreds of miles of Its rail within reach of our naval guns as well us the bombs of our planes. But. the recapture of Manila , means more yet. The Americans have made good MacArt'nur prom ise to RETURN. They have prov cd that It isn't safe to monkey with the United States of America. If all we have read is true, that means that we have GAINED FACE HUGELY in the Orient and the Japs have corresponding ly LOST FACE. Nearly everyone who knows the Orient agrees that FACE Is . Immensely Important there. WELL, (or whatever It is worth. FACE IS Olta. Wr have laken back our own. UaUum and Coieglrinr are avoided. THERE Is other good news from the PaciHc war. The Htitisli. in their greatest display of force ngalnst the Jnps, have pounded .Sumatra and Its oil Installations with a mighty fleet and its air force. The first convoy over the NEW Hurnia road has completed Us Journey of nearly a thousand miles and has ARRIVED IN CHINA, bringing supplies that are the forerunner of more to come. The whole face of the Pacific - war Is changing. D this, time we on the home front are sadder and wiser. r - 1 FISH FOR THE FUTURE By Charles AS we give consideration to fishing problems now before " the state legislature, we should attempt to project our thinking into the future and determine what is likely to happen if current trends are continued. We believe that such study furnishes positive proof of Necessity for com plete closure of the Umpqua river to commercial fishing with nets. It is our sincere belief that recreational fishing in Ore gon's coastal streams is doomed, unless prompt action is taken. These coastal streams now furnish only a small part of the annual take of salmon, and a considerable pro portion of the catch credited to the coastal rivers comes from offshore fisheries, which would be increased within a few years if coastal rivers were closed to net fishing. In this theory we are challenged by spokesmen of the fish ing industry, who ask why streams already closed have not restocked themselves. They mention small coastal streams which were fished to extinction before being abandoned be cause they were no longer profitable and where watersheds have been stripped of timber and large population increases have occurred in recent years. They won't discuss the Rogue river. Whenever the Itogue river is mentioned they immediately change the subject, be cause the Rogue river HAS come back since cessation of commercial fishing was brought about by an extremely ag gressive conservation group. We are particularly interested in the fate of the Umpqua river. Figures show the salmon run in our stream, largest between the Columbia and Sacramento, to have been lowered to ijhe danger point. Yet we have enough seed fish left if we get immediate action to save them. But the solution offered by the fishing industry is to wait until a survey can be made by experts. Wait, delay, pro crastinate, comprise the strategy of the industry. It knows that eventually recreational demands will force closing of. coastal streams, but first it wants to get into cans all sal mon possible to be sold at a profit. The industry is in much the same position as a man Wfltchinir a fire on the roof of his home. He wants to wait until the fire departent arrives, claiming that the building! won't be seriously damaged. Let the experts put out the fire. But the conservationist would be at least putting up a fight with a garden hose to save as much of his roof as possible until the fire department reached the scene. " If, as the industry insists should be done, a study is to be made by experts, then why shouldn't the river be closed) until the study is made and thus prevent further damage?! The industry's own figures, which were withheld from any except its own representatives until ordered into the open by the governor, show conclusively the existing danger. . But, getting back to the outlook for the future, what are1 Oregon's (prospects for recreational fishing in years tp, come V ..There js a growing public demand for irrigation, ,flood Control and hydroelectric power. The federal government js, making extensive postwar plans to affect nearly every Oregon stream. Particularly affected will be the Columbia river and its tributaries. A number of dams are projected on the Rogue river, where water temperatures, which would be raised by impounding, already threaten fish life. The Umpqua river is a larger river than the Rogue. Nat ural water temperatures, particularly in the lower, reaches, are colder. It has rock instead of gravel bottom. Its fcourees are in the summit of the Cascade range. It drains a territory as large as some Atlantic coast states. Only a small proportion is tidewater. Approximately one-half of its length is within the national forest where the removal of timber will be safeguarded. All species of fish within the river are migratory. Our Chinooks, Silversides, Steelheads, ! Cutthroats and Bluebacks are all ocean run fish. Each run is dependent and interrelated in the matter of food upon one or more of the others. If, then, we put a cork in the! river in the tidewater area by commercial fishing, how can we expect to retain fish in our stream? I The Umpqua river has no bodies of land suitable for large scale irrigation by flooding. We have no flood control: problems requiring reservoirs. Hydroelectric projects can: be Installed utilizing only low headdams and tunnels. We nootl have no high dams to hall fish migrations. But this is not true on the Willamette valley .streams aud i there is every possibility the Rogue river will be ruined tin-; less recreational interests are powerful enough to prevent encroachment of high dams. I ,i , . ii I . 41... 1 Ti.n.nii.i 1'iVi.r mill tin Mmilll i nts, men, n;vu uiu.v v.,,i...c. - - j coast range rivers as potential recreational streams of the future. Of course, when high dams are built and waters impounded in the Columbia river basin, the artificial lakes can be stocked with bass, carp, bluegills, and other warm water Hpecies; but who would exchange one steclhcad, the light ingest fresh water fish in the world, pouiul-i'or-pouml. for all the bass in the world. If the anglers of the state of Oregon want spoils lishnigi lor cold water trout and steelheads ten years from now, they would do well, we believe, to start telling their legislators to get busv. Our own delegation is wide awake to the prol Vm and is putting up a good scrap, but they can't succeed, 'unaided, in battling a well entrenched industry which is spending thousands of dollars on a well organized lobby- We know better now than to Jump to the conclusion that the Jap Is licked and peace is just ari'und the corner.

The teams played a fairly even first half, Cottage Grove having a one point advantage. 7 to 6, at the first quarter and a two-point lead, 15 to 13, at half-time. Roseburg came back with a short-lived rally in the third period and went out in front as the result of pass snatching and solo shots by Young and James, but by tile end of the quarter Cottage Grove had closed the gap to tie the score at 24-all as the game entered the final period. The Lions forged ahead and steadily widened the gap as the game drew to a conclusion, amid much rough play. The lndalns play two' more g;yoos this week, making the. journey to Eugene Friday Vilght to face the league-leading Eugene high school Axemen, while Co quille will play on the Roseburg floor Saturday night.

Here's how it stacks up: On Monday, Wed nesday and Friday you get news at 17 different times during the day, plus two batches of sports news, a ration summary and a terminal market report. On Tues day and Thursday you get an additional newscast at 11 in the morning, but one less sports re view. In other words, just spin the dial to 1490 and vou'll be keeping up with the world in the easiest possible manner. For tonight, may we remind you, it's Main Line at 8 and Bull dog Drummond at 8:30. We've missed the last couple of weeks of Main Line and since it is one of our favorite listening spots dur ing the entire week, we intend to hear It tonight by hook or by crooK . . . or just oy oialing liyu. Tonight's episode concerns the moving of vital war supplies and the handling of a special ship ment to points overseas. "Sleigh Ride in July" and "They Didn't Believe Me" are featured tunes on tonights The Feeling is Mutual" at 9:30. Looking over Thursday's pro gram schedule reminds us to tell you that Paula Stone will have Gypsy Rose Lee on her program as guest, but since we haven't television yet, it probably won't oe too exciting.
