Japs out once more. There are
rumors that the Japs may be
GETTING OUT of n 500-mllo
stretch of the China coast center
ing on Foochow. It Is suggested
that this area has been made too
hot for them to handle by our
Philippines-based planes.
The rumor persists that the
Jap plan may be to retiro from
southeast Asia to concentrate1
their forces north of the Yellow!
river, in Manchukuo and Korea.
We'll do well to keep our fingers

jve enn't disregarde them entirely.

COOPERATIVE PLANNING
By Charles V. Stanton
The report by Francis B. Jacobbprger, Portland architect,
nationally known for his work witli th6 American Commis
sion for Living War Memorials, arid as a member of The
National'1 Committee on Physical Fitness of the Federal
Security Agency, gives a rather dark picture of Rosebtrg's
recreational facilities; or, rather, our lack thereof.
But Mr. Jacobberger has told us nothing that those
familiar with the problem did not already know. However,
the number who do know and who are interested -is al
together too small. The architect was perfectly correct
when he said in his report:
It is quite plain that those in high places, In authority,
In wealth and influence In the community, have forgotten
their childhood, or are so satisfied with the bounties that
nature has bestowed In the way of hunting and fishing
privileges afforded to them conveniently, or with' their
close-by golf course, that they no longer remember that
children must have places to play and exercise.
He is in error when he states that we have no park
commission. We do have such a commission and it is doing
a swell job. The trouble is that it is not receiving the en
couragement and financfal support to which its worthwhile
work entitles it.
Roseburg needs to develop a greater realization of the
value of recreation, not only from the physical fitness stand
point, but also for economic reasons. If Roseburg expects
to become the trade center for Douglas county, its greatest
opportunity lies in development of recreational facilities
which will attract people to the city. Furthermore, expand
ing rapidly in population, Roseburg's responsibility in safe
guarding physical welfare of its children demands park and
playground facilities and supervised recreational programs.
Mr. Jacobberger's report
subject which we believe should be given a great deal of
emphasis. His first recommendation is:
A City Planning Commission, dealing with the zoning
of land use, be set up and the Park Commission and School
. Board cooperate closely with said Commission in the work
ing out of an over-all plan of development for Zoning.
Arterial Highways, Schools, Parks and Playgrounds, etc.
The city council recently repealed its ordinance authoriz
ing a city planning commission and placed the work of
zoning in the hands of the city fire commission, which is
hard at work on a tentative
Flayground commission which
it city-wide recreational program, utilizing a very small
lund provided by local and federal appropriations. It
iOiould have five times as much money as is now being
furnished. The Roseburg school board has been doing a
great deal ol work in acquiring land and planning develop
ment of school playgrounds. It should be encouraged to
continue this work on an even hvrgcr scale. The county
.Court has become interested

to emphasize, is that each of

In our opinion, each of

council, to which' should be

be coordinated. The county, city and school districts have
a mutual interest in this recreational problem and should
unite forces to do a well-planned cooperative job, rather
than biting off chunks, as is being done fit present
Paul Cacy Tells
Of Jap Chaos as

when a whole city lumped the

Assigned to clear the coast of
Mindanao in the Philippine Is

his PT boat comrades approached
the Island of Basilan and headed
for tile town of Isabella, when a
tremendous fire broke out along
the docks.
The flames leaped "hundreds of
feet in the air," said Cacy, "and
finally spread through the town,
blnstinc ammunition dumps and
fuel tanks. Then we discovered

at the root of It. The- Poles who
have Ixi-ii thrown out would
doubtless like to get back in
feeling, of course, that they would
be far better rulers of the Polish
people (outs who want In always

But WE aren't going to WAR

The objective of the patrol,
however, was a small barce at
the Jap base, and as the boat
glided through a smoking, nar
row chuftiel, mortar fire opened
up. Amid the Jap shells and wild
bullets the crew foupht its way
out, but not one member was In

"The Japs seem to be losing a
lot of their old fight," said Cacv,
"and we've made such patrols as

V E Day. The celebration of V-
K uay 111 wasnington was very
quiet. I saw little evidence uf a
spirit of gayiety in the dow ntown
area. The house met as usual. Fol
lowing a fifteen-minute observ
ance of the great event, with
speeches made by the majority
and minority leaders and Speaker
Ray burn, the house took tip the
report of the special committee
which had been investigatlong the
meat shortage.
On the evening of V-E day, the
great flood-lights which illumi
nate the Capitol and the Wash
ington monument were turned on
for the first time since 1941.

that, when the marines wanted
to plant a flag on Mount Surl

arrive on the beach at Iwo. The

but I suspect he is very pleased
to have thp flag "loaned" on a

cations for return to or retention
in the United States must be filed
by the serviceman himself or by
his immediate family.
Enlisted personnel -forty-two
years of age or over may apply
for discharge or release to inac
tive duty. Application is made
through the individual's com
manding officer. Similar requests,
previously denied, may now be
re-submitted and approval obtain
ed from the commanding officer
without reference to the bureau
of naval personel. There are some
exceptions to this discharge rule,
but apparently it will be general
ly applied.
In making its announcement,
the navy states that there still
'exists a -critical need for combat
and seagoing officers in the navy,
marine corps and coast guard,
and this need will continue until
the war with Japan is success
fully concluded. In the meantime,
there can be no large-scale demo
bilization in officer personnel. Re
quests for Inactive duty or release
from service may be made by of
ficers, but the navy states the ac
tion taken will be entirely depen
dent upon the needs of the serv

The navy further states that
the defeat of Germany will bring
about no' demobilization of the
navy. On the contrary, the navy
is expanding and Will conjinuo to

cases, the military necessity for
the retention of any enlisted man
or officer will have first consid

to those who served in the Euro
