Unless the Kremlin wanted the rest of the world to know of it, the news wouldn't have been passed by the Russian censor. It Is fairly safe therefore to assume that the Kremlin may have something up its sleeve. Sakhalin would be as good an excuse as any for getting Into the Jap war. OUR big Interest in Russia Is whether or not she is going to war with the Japs. If she gets Into the Pacific war, we're going to think quite kindly of her. If she doesn't, we common people (regardles of whatever stuff the diplomats feed us) will wonder why we go on lend-leasing her. WE learn that the 400 B-29s that raided southeast Honshu on May 10 destroyed from 85 to 90 per cent of Japan's GREATEST OIL STORAGE AREA, Including both the army's and the navy's fuel concentrations. In addition, one of the empire's biggest re fineries was forced out of oflera tion. We know what oil destruction d'.d to Germany. So we know what It WILL DO to Japan. It is more lit OUR kind of warfare. fE'RE crowding the Okinawa Japs hard, but' there is still no dependable evidence of col lapse of Jap resistance. We'll have to kill them all, as usual. WE could go at It more slowly and starve them out and hack them down by gradual attrition, but we have to have bases and Okinawa is our best bet. Its best airfield possibilities He south of Naha and the Shurl line. The sooner we can get all of Okinawa the soone we'll be able to begin to fight our kind of war Instead of having to fight the Jap way. Besides, as long as we're fight ing on Okinawa our navy will have to be deployed around the island to prevent the enemy from getting in reinforcements. Thus deployed, our ships are open to Jap suicide attacks by air and tea. We've already lost upwards of two dozen ships sunk (mostly smaller units) and tin undisclosed but rather considerable number damaged. It will be cheaper In the long run lo clean Okinawa up as quickly as possible. WHAT is happening in Europe Is still more or less of a cen sored mystery whose red hot core Is the disposition of the na.l war criminals. A member of the allied war crimes commission (on which Russia is not represented) dis closes that a decision will prob ably be reached at a meeting of tile commission on May 31. He adils that the blacklist is about tvmpli'le. Most of us know what ought to be done. We should try all of them Ihal we can lay hands on quickly, sternly and fairly and then shoot the convicted ones without delay. Above everything else, there should 1m- NONE of the traditional American sob-sister stuff In the trial. THAT is what probably will be done, for these are stern days and everyone knows It, but the hush-hush censored mystery that is being made of the criminals business stirs suspicion and doubt and gives the Russians con tinued opportunity to pot shot at us and the British, thus stirring up suspicion and 111 will where there should be complete and un derstanding co-operation. As an example of Russian prod ding, a Moscow radio commenta tor by the name of Mlkhailov THE THREAT TO OUR RIVERS By Charles V. Stanton A startling: presentation of the threat to fish life in Oregon streams if the army engineers, reclamation service, and other agencies, proposing to build dams for hydro electric development, irrigation, flood control, etc., are per mitted to have their way, is contained in a report recently released by the Oregon State Game commission, covering more than four years of study on the Rogue river. The study of the Rogue river, as reported by the Game commission, reveals one fact, definitely and conclusively if high dams are built on that river its value as a sports fishing stream will be completely destroyed. Relative to the proposal of the engineers for power dams on the Rogue river, the commission's report declares : The construction of any one or of the entire group of five power dams on the lower main river below Grants Pass, Oregon, would destroy the runs of migratory fish, since it would be neither economically nor biologically feasible to attempt to maintain them. It is shown that in addition to blocking natural migration of fish, construction of dams would i tures ; would, through storage controlled summer release, adversely affect flow of water in btream channels and destroy natural spawning and rearing areas. The commission's report is confined strictly to the Rogue river, on which the survey was started in April, 1941; but the findings are applicable, we believe, to any other pri marily recreational stream and especially to the Umpqua river, on which army engineers and reclamation service al ready have made studies preliminary to detailed surveys and preparations of plans for development. As we look at the waternower niet.uro in ni-nrrnn ViJ question is one of economic derived from generation of power, distributing water for irrigation, and control of flood damage are greater than the potential recreational resources, and, if one or the other must be sacrificed, then the benefits should be accurately measured and determined. The Game commission's Ron-tie Fiver rennrf. rlrw tumm- thing that has never been, previously attempted: it places a dollars-and-cents value upon the Rogue river's recreational asset. The survey, takinir 1940 alio Inst shows the income from recreation alone to have amounted to approximately ONE MILLION dollm-H vt tho investment in strictly recreational facilities is only two nnu one-nan million dollars. Recreational activities fur nished employment to from 4G9 to i49 than SO per cent "of the entire T 1. liriii ... ueacn ana weuaerDurn, at the mouth of the river, was derived from the fishery resource." Catch records show the value commercially, to be approximately $280,500. The report states: "If the annual inenmo fSi mm rmm represents a return of 4 per cent, then the fishery resources may . ue capitalized at nhout 5,000,000." , I An industry worth S25 million is nnr. tr l. imu..v.,,i .,f The question the people on the is whether by sacrificing this sake of irrigation, development v.m nave an asset oi greater continuing value, bringing into calculation the original investment and the annual cost of upkeep and maintenance. Tim must eventually face on the Uniqua river. The Rogue river is fortunate in the fact that it lias at hand a detailed .study! and a carefully prepared report, adequately authenticated. 7.. A .w.i 1 ... . .. ..u UU nut, iihvu compiirauve iigures lor the Umpqua river and it will require several years to gather the necessary data. Wo hope the Game commission will undertake this study without delay, because it will not be long before we, too, will be faced with the question of whether we shall' sacrifice our recreational resources for benefits to be realized from water utilization. Furthermore, we need expert study of the fish life of our stream in order that we may more scientifically restore those species, particularly salmon and steelhead, now Hear ing extinction. The Umpqua river is rapidly deteriorating as a salmon and steelhead fishing stream although its po tential capacity is far greater than that of the Rogue river, due to greater volume, more extensive protected area, lower water temperatures, etc. I! lit the Rogue river snortsinon had t.h r,i-nUi,ri,t ... l.ieir stream to commercial ne must secure protective measures on the Umpqua river before it is completely destroyed, and to determine scien tilically the best methods of bringing about recovery, we first need a survey or the type produced by the Game com mission on the Rogue river. says: "Germany's military fascist clique, headed by Grand Admiral i.ioenltz, is holding up a bugbear of chaos before the eves of the ALLIES us a way of blackmailing them Into allowing It to retain authority." THERE are probably good rea sons Tor nil we and Ihc British are doing, but it Is being done in such a log of secrecy that sus picions urise inevitably. For example: A London News Chronicle cor respondent says thai Ilimmler has been TRACED but not arrested; that the British L'nd armv could take him Into custody AT ANY TIME. ' This is probably your first thought: "Well, WHY DOESN'T IT? Why risk his getting away?" THERE are undoubtedly sound I reasons for not nahhlnu ! Himmler, even If we know where he is. Presumably we are watch ing him to find out whom he sees, etc., In the hope that other war Criminals may thus be tipped of! of water in wintertime, with value. If the benefits to be income of the towns of Gold of the fifth tl Rogue river must determine $25 million resource for the of electric energy, etc., they fishing before it was wrecked. to us. But with hatreds at white heat all this mystery helps to fan the fires of suspicion and ill will. Another example: Eden says that Admiral Doenilz is under Investigation and "ac cording to newspaiK-r reports" has been arrested. All of which leaves us certain thai he knows a lot more limn he Is telling. RUSSIAN prodding ot us and the British isn't too hard lo understand. We and the .British are snoot ing Russia because of her handling of the Polish matter. Quite naturally the Russians are spatting back at us, putting us In the hole wherever Ihey can und finding in this war criminals business a magnificent oportunlty. It Is bard tor us little people on the outside to escape the con clusion thai a policy of GREATER FRANKNESS on the part of our insiders would pay splendid divi dends. We want to believe that everything Is being well and wisely done, bit this constant hush -hushing unsettles Us. OUT OUR WAY BY J. R.

SHOPPER. .T :' S-26 COPfl. 1W5 BY MtA SEW VICE. IMC. T. M. HCO. O. 9. PAT. OFF. DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS When Daniel was cast into the Lion's den, King Darius said, "Thy God whom thou servest continually, He will deliver thee." Next morning the king hastened to the den and called out to Daniel, who told him that God had sent His angels to stop the mouths of the lions. Then the king issued a decree that all people should "tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for He is the living God, and steadfast for ever. That ancient Persian king voiced the eternal cer tainty of all life. The author of Hebrews expressed the same . thought. "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today, and forever." To ignore God in Christ is to ignore the most profound fact of life. Today in the midst of warfare and social upheaval, how reassuring it is to know that there Is a constant factor that does nof change. Blessed are they who in a world of unrest can none trate to the very heart of God and say, "O Thou who changed not abide with me." The hunger for God in the human heart is universal and by the same token God and His re sources are available for all. No man is defeated" who .has God for He Is the living God, and steadfast forever. Amen. DIALrLOG By SUSAN Be sure you get the special Maritime Salute show scheduled for 8:30 tonight. These special presentations are usually worth your listening time. You'll hear Annaloris as usual at 8:00, but Recital Halt of the Air had to be postponed; we'll advise you later as to the time for that. We'd also like to mention the 9:30 show on Tuesday nights. It's title is Chaplain Jim, and we'll admit it didn't sound like much to us when It was first announced, but weVe heard It a couple of times and we'll pass along the informa tion that it's really very good. Try It tonight and see If you don't think so, too. We would also like to recommend the new Something To Talk About show that vou hear each Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings it's very entertaining. Glancing through the publicity releases today we note that the Johnson Family all 22 voices of him in the person of Jimmy Sciibner will be moving out to the west coast come June. We're still waiting for thai tour of the country we were promised a Couple of years ago. We also noted that Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce sold $325,000 worth of bonds when their Sherlock Holmes broadcast originated from a. downtown theatre in Holly wood. Maybe we'd better Dage Sherlock and Watson if our sales don't pick up in Douglas county. And here's one advance tip for Wcdensday night: Brownstone Theatre at 6:30 will present the beloved "Daddy Long Logs" and this is going to be a "don't miss" for us. fi:00 (iabriol llrallrr.
