WE know now that wreckage from the air of Europe's war factories and transportation sys tems destroyed Geman will and ability to fight and upset their scheme to retire into the moun tains and hold out to the last nazl. Europe is relatively large and Japan is relatively small. Drop ping on much smaller Japan TWO AND A HALF TIMES the bomb tonnage dropped on larger Europe will make a nasty mess of the land of the rising sun. IT rather looks as if we aren't going to accept the Jap dal e to "come in and kill the whole 70 million of us In our caves and holes if you think you can." Instead, we seem to be getting ready to do the job OUR way. MEANWHILE a blistering 18 hour battle -fought largely the Jap SUICIDE way- rages on around Okinawa. ' The little yellow men, drawing on their dwindling plane reserves, send in a STRONG air fleet and In the ensuing swirling dogfight damage 11 light units of bur fleet (a light unit, generally speaking, is apt to be anything from a de stroyer down). They lost 111 planes in the Okinawa scrap and 35 more in American sweeps from Okinawa to Tokyo. Since the battle of the Ryukyus started, we have destroyed (not Including those damaged) i'&7 Jap planes. AS announced by the Japs them selves the day befure, they sprung a new suicide scheme on us, sending in specially trained "glretsu" teams in twin-engine cargo planes to make belly land ings on our airfields. As these planes slid in, llieir crews, numbering apparently from H to 15 men, plied out and dashed toward our parked planes, ammunition dumps, operational buildings- ANYTHING In sight seeking to blow them up before the explosive-toting Japs could be killed. AP Vein Haugland says the first of these attacks left our men so goggle-eyed with surprise that tile Jap crew had time to pour out of the plane, huddle for a con ference, then reach in for their gear before getting fired on.

Their proposal was that contributions be made year by year until a sufficient amount had been created to build a civic center building, parks, playgrounds, etc. But, since the date of the solicitation additional amounts have been The Roseburg city council passed a special ordinance in connection with this fund, making it possible for amounts donated to be deducted as municipal contributions in making income tax reports. This encouraged many firms, having incomes in the upper surtax tions. . The program initiated last War Memorial ' campaign now ing men and women, realizing grounds, swimming pools, athletic fields and other such facilities in every community, have been urging that in stead of erecting classic marble memorials, bronze statues, etc., we build our memorials and tributes to our service men in the form of facilities healthy minds. This project our military leaders and health authorities, appalled by the low physical condition of many of our young men, as revealed by examinations for military "service. There has been launched in the Eugens-Springfield area r project called the Century Fund. Efforts are being made to secure donations of $1 from each of tl'e 11,000 homes in that community and an organized Vanipu.jm is in progress. The campaign in Roseburg last fall was confined largely to business houses, industrial plants and large firms. Little effort 'was made to secure small contributions. But we believe the Lane county plan could well be adopted in the Roseburg area to help idong. ' We should, at the earliest the Civic Center. When restrictions 'on home construction are lifted, we may-be sure that nearly every available build-' ing spot in and near the city will be utilized for the con struction of residences. It will be extremely difficult, if we wait until that comes, to acquire a suitable site for the proposed civic center and for. parks and playgrounds. But the money now on hand ficient to cover the cost of land purchases. Consequently, there should be additions made provide, an adequate amount The organization sponsoring, the fund is still alive and active. Kenneth Ford is Geddes is secretary-treasurer. Contributions sent to Mr. Geddes, who has his offices in the U. S. National bank building in Roseburg, will be credited and turned over to the city treasurer to be placed in the 'special reserve account. A few dollars from each of many persons can amount to as much as many dollars from each of a few persons. Certainly $1 from each home is not asking much, and many homes can afford to contribute much more. After you have made your bond purchases for the Seventh yar loan, keel) the Roseburg Civic Center, Park and 'Play ground fund in mind as a suitable place for a few of your surplus dollars. committed suicide). AS disclosed by a check-up so far, at least 11 of these "griretsu", planes, carrying crews of Up to !l5 Japs, were finished of by us. Seven of our planes, as so far counted, were destroyed In the atacks. As nearly as can be Judged from those incomplete statistics, It doesn't look like. a good swap from the Jap stand point. I TS a bitter battle at Okinawa. Our loses In KILLED so far amount to a combined total of fl,G02, of which 41 per cent is navy, 3D per cent, army and 17 per cent marines. The Jap loss (counted bodies) Is around 50,000. IV Friday's B-2!) raid over Tokyo, we lost 13 of the big bombcrs li.W.r of the 500 announced as participating. We must remember that our losses when we were destroying the German airforce and starting wholesale destruction of German war plants were grim. No One Is likely !u fuinc'i oon the day we lost Ct American bombers and their crews of American boys over Sehwelnfurt. Our losses over Japan will lx correspondingly heavy. Unfortunately, victory Can't be won without losses. But we'll destroy the Jap air force, and later we'll destroy the .lap jrar industry as we did to the Germans. The Japs KNOW It.

OUT OUR WAY Leone' Wins From Hager; Davidson Defeats Ackles Combinations of weight supe riority and dirty tactics produced victory in both bouts of the wrest ling card at the Roseburg armory Saturday night, and in the finales of both Keferee klton Owen was forced into action with his fists to the accompaniment ' of wild clamor from the crowd at the ringside.. . . .. In the headliner, Antone Leone , 192-pound Frenchman from Oyster Bay, N. Y.,.won a three- fall combat from Tex Hager, 180 pounds (or less), of Creswell.iA series o' Sonncnbergs and bodv slams, followed by a head scis sors, gave Tex the first fall, in 10.09; but in the second and third ounds he fell victim to the big Frenchman's deadly reverse chin lock in the respective periods of 19:05 and 7:10. The third and de ciding fall was preceded by. a three-cornered battle that, carried both wrestlers and the .referee onto the floor in front of the spec- tutors, alter the frenchman had climaxed his dirty stuff by jok ing his lingers Into Hager's eyes and repeatedly ignoring the ref eree's orders to break foul holds.: Davidson Beats Ackles Bow-legged Buck Davidson, 185 pounds, defeated spindle-legged Kenny Ackles, 175 pounds, in the opener, taking the first and third falls with a Boston crab hold; time: 18:48 and 9:01. Ackles got the second fall in 6:22 with a trio of body slams, a shoulder butt and a body press. Throughout the third round, Davidson slugged and kicked the lighter man re peatedly in the kidneys, the last kick coming after he had been awarded the fall and Ackles was kneeling helpless on the mat. Owen then went Into action, slug ging and wrestling Davidson until the revived Ackles joined in the fray, with the result that the trio went through the ropes and into the laps of ringsiders. The im promptu brawl lasted about five minutes before order was re stored.

The Rainiers will have , the double advantage of playing on their Jiome field and of riding a winning streak that gave them six out pf seven last week over Los Angeles. . The Beavers managed to squeeze out a 5-3 win over San Francisco Saturday in a game called on account of rain in the seventh, but , dropped Sunday's single tilt 8.4 as weather curtailed a scheduled twin bill. The week end split gave the Seals the se ries 4-2. . V . -' . r Portland apparently had its Sunday game on ice as it went into the ninth inning with a 4-3 lead, but a five-run San Francisco outburst drove Pitcher Hclser from the mound and gave Hurler Joyce his tenth win of the year. Turpin Aids In Victory Seattle dropped its only game of the series to J-.os Angeles Sat urday 6.3, but came back Sunday for a twin killing. 8-2 and 6-2. Johnson handcuffed, the Angels in the opener while Frazier and Turpin limited last year's cham pions to four hits in the nightcap. Oakland, copped Saturday's game with San Diego 5-2 and split Sunday's doubleheader, . winning the first game 4-3 and dropping the scheduled seven-inning attcr piece 9-8 in the ninth frame.
