That mighty air weapon Is to be moved to the Pacific to supplement the B-29s which General Arnold terms "the most outstanding plane In the world." He adds: "You can say that General Doolittle is going to bring our Eighth alrforce out here and we will use It against Japan." The British have stated, flatly over and over that they are going to bring their great European RAF to the Pacific. Arnold concludes: "We will hit ALL OF JAPAN." IF Suzuki thinks we're going to land Immediately on the Japa nese beaches and start now the bloody task of digging every Jap out of every hole and cave In Japan he's crazier than even a Jap has any business to be. We'll doubtless land there ulti mately, but we'll d 8 lt of bomb ing and starving out first. BRINGING our vast air weapon Into full action against Japan has Its problems. General Arnold hints at them when he says: "Wiy are wondering how we lire going Jo put 12,000 pianos from the European theater over here and get the maximum striking power against Japan, but we will use EVERY LAND MASS we can GET OUR HANDS ON." IN this connection, don't entirely overlook the Foochow urea of the China coast, where the Chi nese have been driving the Japs put. It is reasonably flat and could provide a lot of space for air bases. It Is supposed to be pro tected by Formosa, but with very little navy and not too much air force left Ihe Japs are In no posi tion to use Formosa effectively. Wo might by pass it. THE Australians are completing their conquest of the Brunei, bay area In Borneo. The dis patches report significantly: "Royal engineers are RUSHING the building of the 4500-foot La buan nir field into a bomber base ONLY 800 MILES from Singa pore." The British must have bases for their vast air fleet when it Is moved from Europe. The Aus tralians are beginning to provide them. ON Okinawa, wo take the "Big Apple" a high point domin ating the positions on the bloody plateau ' where the Japs are making their lust stand. We can now SHOOT DOWN at them. Jap resistance on Okinawa seems to be slipping into the grisly twilight stage of suicide, MURDER by their fellows of those who try to give themselves up to us and futile banzai charges. It Is thus that Jups are con quered when circumstances com pel us to fight THEIR WAY. THERE'S a brief flash in the Okinawa news of what we CAN do to Japs. A brushy ravine was believed to shelter Jup com mand headquarters. Half a hun dred of our marine Corsairs swept in, splattered it with 19,000 GALLONS of jellied gasoline and In the ensuing holocaust two acres were burned to a crisp. NOTE to Suzuki: If we1 have to, we can do that to ALL OF JAPAN. OUR eyes are on the Pacific, but there are still ripples of in terest from Europe. Ribbentrop, last of the big shot Iiazis, is captured lgnomlnlously Jn his bleep In a Hamburg room ing house. He had a enn of poison strapped to bis groin, but larked REFERENDUM By Charles V. Stanton Commercial fishermen have succeeded in securing suffic ient signatures to obtain a referendum on H.B. 378, the Coastal Streams Fishing bill passed at the recent session of the state legislature. The measure is one which would have given a modicum of conservation on our coastal streams, with only a very slight reduction in totalj commercial catch. It was strictly a compromise and, asskichi was satisfactory a number of commercial fishermen, who realize continuation of present destructive methods will completely ruin Oregon fisheries, already so seriously endangered that public sub sidy has been required to maintain propagation facilities. H.B. 378 is a measure conservation-minded commercial and sports fishing interests feel would improve conditions in our coastal streams without impairing the industry. On the other hand, there are two dissatisfied groups. Ono group is composed of commercial fishermen who refuse to recognize imperative needs for conservation and who are out to take every possible fish from our streams, without regard for the future, while, of sports fishermen who believe the best interests of the ftate of Oregon are to be served by complete closure of all coastal streams, except the Columbia river, to all . com mercial fishing. Between these two extremist of compromise. While we, personally, share the opinion 6f the extremist sportsmen that demands total elimination of net fishing, except in the Co lumbia, we were willing to see H.B. 378 given a fair trial. We participated in committee hearings which resulted in formulating the bill and assisted in organizational work for its passage. In one sense we welcome the referendum, for we believe as does the editor of the Curry County Reporter, published at the mouth of the Rogue river, who said recently: The commercial interests may succeed in getting enough signatures to hold up application of the new laws, but it is almost certain that they will eventually defeat their own ends by so doing. The new laws were enacted after careful consideration and upon recommendation of those who had made a careful study of the. effects of commercial fishing in the smaller rivers of the state over a long period. It was recognized beyond a doubt that salmon fishing In these streams, either for sport or commercial purposes, would soon be a thing of the past unless something was done to keep the streams stocked, other than by release of fry from the hatcheries. The legislators also realized that the people over a large part Of the state are sport fishing minded, both for their own Interests and for the benefit of the growing tourist business, hence are ready to vote for complete closing of ' all coastal streams to commercial fishing, with the exception of the Columbia. Should the commercial interests succeed In holding up application of the new laws, it Is almost a fore gone conclusion that there will be an Initiative measure Up . at the next general election for the complete closing of al rtreonatal I streams, the Columbia excepted, to commercial.-; jt fishing for all, time. And It is almost equally certain that the measure would carry. Remember that the Curry County Reporter is published tit the mouth of the Rogue river, where the editor would have been mobbed for expressing such views a comparatively lew years ago. But the Rogue river was closed to com mercial fishing and the inhabitants of the prosperous com munities at tho mouth of that stream have learned that tporls fishing produces far greater revenue and benefits than commercial fishing. We believe the referendum the people of Oregon are waking up to the fact that they tire letting one of the state's by a very small' group of men who hold the same selfish viewpoint that caused pelters to protest so vigorously not o many years ago when they ing deer for hides. We can add little to the words of the editor of the Curry County Reporter, who concludes his editorial with the fol lowing statement: Most people over the state realize that commercial fish ing In the lesser coastal streams benefits but a few people and brings only a small amount of revenue Into the state, and that even this is growing less each year. On the other ' hand, the fame of Oregon's fishing streams brings a large numbor of people to the state, who in the aggregate leave sums that make the commercial fishing revenue look like pennies against dollars, even with the Columbia included. And as time goes on this revenue will grow, rather than become less, while tho commercial returns will go in the opposite direotlon. j The move to refer the fishing restriction is obvlously.a very short-sighted one. Yoncalla Soldier Home After Ordeal As Nazis' Captive YONCALLA Pfc. Loyd Malhis, son of Mrs. Nora Matliis, has returned home for it 30-day furlough, ' after spending three years with the U. S. army in the European theater of war. About nine months ago he was reported missing In action. However, three months later his wife, who, with her little son, lives Salem, received word through the Red Cross that he was a German pris oner. During the seven months he was in a German prison camp, the nerve to swallow It. ,So end the wicked. EISENHOWER, In Paris, speaks of the German war in after math. On the darker darker side, he says: "The German nation as a whole has no sense of war guilt and while many Germans closed their eyes to atrocities many others did not." On the brighter side, he says: "The Russians are extremely friendly. Individually.

The series boosted Port land's lead to four and a half games. Portland swept a Sunday twin bill 6-1 and 2-0 as the Beaver pitching staff cut Rainier power at the plate to a trickle. The battle royal for third place goes into this week tighter than arf Ersatz collnl"! with only a half a game separating five California teams.
