There is no men tion Jn the dispatches of the num ber of planes they sent in or of damage done to us. COL. NAKAJIMA, Jap army PROPA QANDA spokesman, springs a scare that is supposed to start our teeth to chattering. He says the paper balloons, which have been in the experi mental stage so far, are about ready to bo loosed against us in gloat numbers and manned by suicide crews (the Jap mind, you will note, is still ridden by the suicide complex).- This crew business is intrigu ing. Wo had supposed that the particular merit of the big paper bags lay in the fact that they could be used without wasting man power. What the crews will do after they get here Is any body's guess. THE suddenly tongue-loosened Jap colonel boasts of the bal loons as one of Japan's "unique originations" of the war. He says they can climb up to 15,000 meters (roughly 30,000 feet) which, he adds, is far above t,he reach of sur Interceptors. ; He says they make the trip over in about four days. WE think of these balloons as borne by the high upper winds. What actually happens is that they go more or less straight . up into the stratosphere when loosed and wait for the rotation of the earth lo spin us under them. I1C counter the balloon tale with a threat thai Is considerably more tangible, announcing that soon we'll bo sending U-29g against Japan In 1000 plane fleets. A thousand B-29s are equal in bombing power to KOUJl THOU SAND Fortresses or Liberators, such as we sent against Germany. THERE'S an odd quirk In the stream of propaganda that Is sues hourly from the Jap radio. The leaders of the little yellow men seem strangely worried by the propaganda leaflets . that we're dropping by the millions and warn their people not to go near them. Can it be possible thai the Buper-docilo Japs might RE LIEVE US? INTERESTING news continues to come from the Chinese, who claim to be steadily smashing the lone rail lifeline that leads from Korea Into all southeast Asia. They CUT this line when they raptured Yungnlng (maybe Nan nine on your map; many Chinese places have more than one name and apparently continue to hold about a 150-mile section of it. They add that the Japs are aban doning and TEARING VV an other section of it between Heng jang and Changsha. If so, the enemy Is cuttliiK his last known rail connection with Canton and Hongkong. ' As the Chinese near this rail line, they are recovering air fields that the Japs took from us in llieir drive early this year. ALL I hose reports more or less holster the story that the Japs are pulling their main forces back into Manchuria and Korea for a Una! stand. That, of course, doesn't mean that the fighting In the south will be over, for they will leave suicide garrisons to delay us, us they did in the Philippines. THE British are slowly gaining ground in Burma, but the fighting there is slowed up by the Inontoon rains which In places KEEP THE BALL POLLING By Charles V. Stanton Residents of the City of Roseburg' should be very appre ciative, we believe, of the Work of the committee which has )repitred the tentative municipal budget for the forthcom ing year. We Way not all agree with the committee'9 de cisions, but we have never had a more thorough study of the city's financial affairs nor a more conscientious and hard-working- group of men concerned with the difficult task of budget making. The Oregon budget law is, in some respects, a farce. It is based upon sound principle but is sadly in need of revision. It requires any tax-levying body to appoint a group of citizens in equal number to the governing group. Ordinarily' the men called in to prepare the budget have only sketchy knowledge of the needs of the department they are called upon to serve. They are furnished with a list of expendi tures of past years, while each subdivision of the depart ment of government furnishes its desired budget for the forthcoming year, whereupon the committee must determine what expenditures are advisable. Having had little contact with administrative affairs, they are greatly handicapped. Budgets, once adopted, are inflexible and often seriously interfere with efficient management of public affairs. The six. per cent limitation clause is a ball-and-chain hampering a rapidly growing community. The City of Roseburg, however, has secured a most thorough study., 'its budget committee was appointed more than two months ago and, as a whole and in sub committees, has worked diligently. It employed a qualified auditor to check every item of city finances, and, by conservative esti mate, the city has profited by $20,000 or more through adoption of recommendations of the auditor and committee over the first tentative budget submitted for study. The committee has offered several suggestions. One of the most important is a proposal for imposition of a general business or occupational license to provide funds for Con tinuing the recreational program after federal assistance no longer is available. Some sentiment has been expressed by various business firms that the proposed license be established. One theory Under which occupational licenses or taxes are imposed is that it discourages fly-by-night operators,, who particularly flock to boom communities. Among cities which now have a general business license are Astoria, Burns; Hillsboro, Seaside, CorValliv., St. Helens. Vcrnonia lyid Gresliam. Other cities which impose licenses on a large number of business enterprises, but not a general tax, include Portland, Klamath Falls, Marshfield, La Grande and others. The committee also recommends that the council hire one man to act as building, plumbing and electrical inspector. At present inspections arc made by the fire chier, street superintendent and chief of police, who receive the fees charged for such work and who, up to the present tim have not been required to report the amount of their collection's. In order that municipal income may be more closely Checked, the committee recommends that each of the individual inspectors, pending completion of arrangements to combine the work under one employee, file monthly reports of col lections. It also has been the practice in the police court lo punish minor offenses by requiring a deposit for dona tion to charitable organizations. The committee recom mends a record be made of such amounts. Difficulty in accurately determining the Condition of city finances was reported as a result of present bookkeep ing methods, and the committee provided funds for a monthly audit and report. This brings us to one of our own put ideas with regard to city operation. V believe the Oily of Roseburg should amend its charter to combine the offices of Recorder and Treasurer. We can see no reason why the work should require services of two persons as provided by the present charter. It is our opinion that the city could profit by combining the offices and providing sufficient salary to employ a quali fied and experienced man who could act as quasi city manager, having an assistant to maintain books and records. Thus, without surrendering any of its powers, as would be the case under a straight city manager plan, the council would have a man actually an executive secretary to relieve it of much of the detail work and at the same time maintain a more simplified system of accounting. HosebufgV city charter is obsolete and needs extensive revision.. An election is necessary, however, before such revision can 'be"" made. In our opinion we should have a new charier as quickly as possible to meet the rapidly chang ing conditions resulting from the municipality's growth. 'lite budget committee 1ms, we believe, started the ball lolling toward a necided improvement in city affairs and we hope the council gives continued impetus. Battle Royal Set For Mat Card To Boost Bond Sales Douglas county's wrestling fans, sports followers who every Saturday night delight In watch ing matmen commit legalized mayhem, will do their bit for the 7lh war loan campaign next Sat urday night at the Roseburg ar mory, where Matchmaker Don Owen presents a gigantic grap pling bond show. Fans making bond purchases at the armory ticket window will be given free admission, but the big bond boost is expected to come when the five contenders in the "battle royal" are auctioned off to the highest, bidder (in war bonds). The mat fan who selects and purcnases the eventual win ner of the free-for-all will collect a turkey as well as his coveted bonds. Those who buy the losers can't lose. They'll have the bonds to show for their efforts. Two of the principals In the grappling extravaganza will be the principals in one of the two thrilling matches of last Saturday Tex Hager and Antone Leone'. Owen is underwriting any shortage in the gate to pay the performers who will vie for a $200 purse. Rules of the battle royal call for all five contenders to enter the ring simultaneously with Referee Elton Owen. With the starting gong, all five batter each other until only two remain stand ing. First man eliminated retires for the evening, but all others return for additional 30-minutc tilts first the semi-finalists and then the finalists. The free-for-all, the only oddity used by Owen in his promotions, is considered the "three-ring-circus" of the wrestlin" mat. Rainiers Lose to Resurgent Seals By The Associated Press The scramble for first division berths in the Pacific Coast Base ball league had begun to assume Ihe aspect of a free-for-all today, due largely to victories last night by the revitalized San Francisco Seals and the increasingly potent Sacramento bolons. The Seals thumped second-place Seattle convincingly in the open ing game of their series to boost the idle Portland Beavers from a two and a half to three game too-sDot lead. Sacramento's win over Oakland dropped the Acorns within hall a game of San Fran cisco and left them only a full game ahead of the Solons. In the only other tilt of the evening Hollywood knocked San Diego from fifth to seventh place. Seattle had the misfortune- to run Into Joyce, Seal pitching ace, on one of his "hot" 'nights. Joyce held the northerners to nine tvta In winning 6-1 for his 11th victory of the season. i Saoranvento, trailing Oakland 1-1, blasted Stromme and Mann for six runs In the eighth stanza to win 7-4. Five San Diego hurlers were unable to check Hollywood, which took a 10-8 decision in a free scor ing contest. Portland and Los Aneeles, un scheduled last night, will tangle In an afternoon twin bill today- Lieut. J. A. Killip Returns From Duty In South Pacific Lt. (jg) John A. Killip, USNR. commanding officer of a navy minesweeper (YMS), has return ed from the Marshalls, the Mari anas, Leyte and Iwo Jima, the navy said today. Lt. Killip, a former resident cf Roseburg assumed command of his ship at Eniwetok over a year ago and successfully swept the in vasion approacnos to two .lima two days before the marines land ed The ship he commanded was the first to lest '.he terrible fir.? power of the entrenched Jans on Iwo. However, he was able to bring his ship within 1,000 yards of the onemv beaches on D-min-us-2 and clear the water ap proaches for the invasion oraft" Lt.

Mrs. Myrtle Holm Smith. Wahan, Mass., was elected president of the Mother Church, succeeding Paul Stark Seeley.

DIAL-LOS By SUSAN" Remcmber that the curtain goes up at 6:30 tonight on 1190 on your dial when tne Brown stone Theatre presents the reviv al of "The Fortune Hunter". As a matter of fact you'll get extra dividends of listening pleasure nil evening lon If you'll slay with l-90, because you'll hear Miin Line at 8:00, the Fresh L'p Show at 8:30, with Bert Wheeler star ring, and the Arch Oboler Plav at 9:30. The 9:30 show tonight Is quite unusual, because in the space of 30 minutes you'll hear three plays ... a comedy, a mel odrama and a tragedy, each com plete in Itself.
