go on until Japanese ability to
produce for war Is destroyed.
IN northern Luzon, the Japs have
been driven out of the rugged
mountains Into the wide and com
paratively open Cagayan valley.
They aren't doing so well under
these conditions. We're WRECK
ING THEIR TRANSPORT from
the air. The valley floor Is said
to be strewn with hundreds of
their burned-out trucks and tanks.
It was LACK OF TRANSPORT,
rather than lack of men and
materials, that rendered the Ger
man army helpless in the last
days before Berlin. The nazls
just couldn't get the stuff from
where It was to where it was
needed.
THE Japs appear to be setting a
lot of store by Manchuria.
Manchuria Is relatively open.
What Is happening to their deci
mated forces in the Cagayan
valley can happen on a bigger
scale to their better forces in
Manchuria's opener country.
JAP troops in the Cagayan valley
are accompanied by a horde
ot camp followers. There were
8500 Japanese business men in
prc-invaslon Manila. These were
joined by COUNTLESS carpet
baggers, and the whole kit and
boodle of them are retiring north
ward before our avenging divi
sions. We find it Impossible to be as
sorry for these hangers-on as they
probably are for themselves.
THERE are two Interesting
straws in the Pacific news
winds.
In the Philippines during the
past week, 1037 Japs have SUR
RENDERED. That is a record
for Jap captives. ,
On Guam there is an even more
significant development. A Jap
officer and 33 of his men who hud
hid out in the jungles for months
come In and give themselves up.
It wasn't hunger that forced them
In, for they were plump and well
nourished. They seem to have
come to the conclusion that dying
in a lost cause is just plain
foolish.
Anyway, after considerable
negotiating, they came in and
surrendered unconditionally. They
admitted that Japnn can't win the
war, asked first of all for a
chance to learn English, and
said they are looking forward to
a Japan in which Bushldo (the
suicide code) doesn't exist.
ONE sawllow doesn't make sum
mer, and surrender of a few
Japs doesn't mean that the wierd
Jap suicide code is crumbling in
the fuce of failure. But it is a
CHINK in the armor. There have
been FEW chinks In Bushldo up
to now.
'THE Jap big shots do seem to
I place sr lot of reliance in sui
cide warfare. In his recent speech
to the Jap stooge parliament,
Suzuki said:
"The tactics of our Special At
tack Corps (suicide corps), which
is steadily Improving in skill, are
a WAY OF FIGHTING which NO
NATION BUT THE JAPANESE
is capable of employing."
THERE Is a new development In
the Polish ruckus.
The secretary of the "military
collegium" - of the Russian su
preme court reports to the judges
that General ' Okullekl " "and
others" of the 16 Polish leaders
nrresled by the Russians have
''confessed" to a long list of
rharges Including the killing of
fi94 Russians officers, anti-Russian
espionage and conferring
jvith the Germans.
L As a special bit of dynamite,
VOTE STATE
By Chariot V. Stanton
Proponents of the '.state building fund measure, which
comes before Oregon voters
worried because of general apathy not because of organized
opposition. A large vote, it is felt, would assure passage of
the proposal to earmark ?10 million surplus income tax
money for state buildings, but a light vote may result irk
rejection.
There has been no appearance of organized opposition to
the building program. At the same time, aside from a few
state officials, sincerely concerned with the needs of our state
institutions, and school authorities, who foresee inability to
meet efficiently forthcoming demands upon our schools of
higher education, unless additional facilities are provided,
there seems to be little active support for the measure.
A great many people approached by questioners, seeking
to determine the public's attitude, seem to be totally unin
formed and uninterested. Observers predict an exceedingly
light vote.
Experience proves that where voters go to the polls to cast
a negative vote on one measure, they also will vote "No" on
other measures on the same ballot, particularly if not
thoroughly informed.
' A highly controversial issue, calling for a bond issue to
finance a civic center, is on the ballot at Portland. This con
troversy is expected to bring out a very large number of
voters in that city. Proponents of the state building fund
proposal are fearful that if a large negative vote is registered
against the civic center, many
strictly local issue also will vote against the state tax
measure, simply because they have not informed themselves
concerning it.
There also is a proposal")", the state ballot to vote a tax
of two-cents per package upon cigarets. This tax, if passed,
would provide an estimated $2 million additional money with
which to operate elementary and high schools, the money to
be distributed upon a basis of the number of teachers em
ployed. The cigaref tax is meeting considerable opposition.
Some people will go to the polls purposely to vote against the
cigaret tax, and, not having informed themselves as to the
plan proposed for state buildings, will vote in the negative on
that measure also. Such is the fear, at least, of persons sup
porting the state building program.
Personally we believe it would border on disaster to fail
at this time to approve the measure setting aside $10 million
of existing funds for a substantial postwar building program.
The state hospital for the insane, the home for feeble
minded, tuberculosis hospital, penitentiary, training school
nnd other such institutions are obsolete, inadequate and over
crowded. These institutions would be improved through ex
penditure of $6 million, if the building program is approved.
The state university, state college, our colleges of education
(normal schools) would receive $1 million for increased
facilities. Already overtaxed by existing enrollment, these
schools will be called upon in the near future to serve great
numbers of veterans who will resume interrupted education,
or who will tyike advantage of educational benefits offered
by state and federal governments to obtain additional educa
tion. We have the money on hand. It is dormant, and will con
tinue to remain dormant, unless we direct its use. It is quite
probable we will never again have the opportunity to provide
such a large sum of money without digging into our pockets.
Now, we already have paid the tax and have accumulated a
surplus which had better be put to good use, rather than con
tinue idle in the state treasury.
The confusing point comes in the mechanics of the opera
tion. The ballot title may not be understood by voters who
have not informed themselves. The ballot title calls for five
mill tax levies for each of two years to be levied on property.
Dut, if voted, this tax will never be collected. Surplus income
tax funds, already on hand, will be used to offset the author
ized tax. Taxpayers will not pay one penny more than they
already have paid.
It seems to us it is an opportunity we should not pass up
because of apathy or misunderstanding.
Okulicki is accused of possessing
at the time of his arrest a docu
ment In which HE (no British
collusion shown) declared that in
the event of a Russian victory
over Germany England would
huvo to form n European bloc to
fight the Russians. The document
Is said to have asserted that Ger
many and Poland should be in
the bloc.
1 It Is Indicated that the red
army prosecutor will ask the
death penalty In at least sonic
cases.
THESE wholesale confessions in
Russian trials have always
had us Americans slumped. But
the trials unci their outcome make
it reasonably apparent that the
Russians are going through with"
their contention that the London
Poles are anti-soviet, even to the
extent of conspiring to thwart
Russian military success.
If Russia is going through with
it, we'll have to accept it or
FIGHT OVER POLAND which
we are in no mood to do. History
tells us that s6me such thing
might happen.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
Many people are In great
perplexity todav because of
their spiritual shortsightedness.
They cannot see things in their
proper proportions. Their vis
ion is too low and conscquelty
they see things, and things
only. In the midst of a storm,
they see ortly the low-hanging
Clouds, and forget, that the
earth, the sky and the sea lie
in the hollow of God's hand.
When something happens that
brings them trouble or distress,
they are apt to complain that
God has forgotten them. Hut
here is a great fundamental
trutK. All things work to
gether for good to them that
love God." Not one thing, not
two things, but all things. Life
cannot lie rightly Interpreted
by one thins. Some one thing
standing alone may be very
conrusing. lint no one thing
makes the warp of life. God
sees life whole, and He weaves
all thin g s sunshine and
shadow, loss and gain, life and
death. Into the fabric of lile.
If we are willing to love mid
trust Him, we will be able to
see as the days go by that "ail
things have worked together
for our good." and that a happy
compensation has ruled our
lives. Amen.

Truman Starts
Holiday as Guest
OfGov.Vallgren
OLYMPIA, Wash , June 20.
(AP) President Truman f arted
a holiday today in the Pacific
northwest but his thoughts were
centered on the post-war security
conference at San Francisco.
Associates said the chief execu
tive s plans for the immediate
future were predicated upon hope
oi quicK action on tne tinal lorm
of the projected international
peace charter.
A delay in the "closing of the
San Francisco meeting bevond
this week, they aserted, may force
the rearrangement of Mr. Tru
man s schedule for the period
leading up to his departure next
montn lor nis nrst ".Big Three
meeting, at Berlin.
The President already has all
but abandoned thought of being
able to attend ttie governor's con
ference in Michigan. "
Meanwhile, he held to his tenta
tive schedule, which calls for his
addressing the San Francisco con
ference Saturday unless he Is
advised that its work can not
be completed before next week.
in tne tatter event, he may
una u necessary to iiy directly
to Independnece, Mo., for a home
coming celebration there June 27,
and another at Kansas City the
next day.
Hero to Receive Medal
The President, his visit here
described as a purely "social"
one, nevertheless took time out
to pay homage to a heroic "G. I."
He arranged to present the
Congressional medal of honor to
Sergeant John D. Hawk of Brem
erton, Wash.
This Is the medal Mr. Truman
repeatedly has said he would
rather have than his presidential
office.
A "spotter" for anti-tank guns,
21-year-old Sgt. Hawk, four times
wounded, repeatedly risked his
life at Shambois last year during
the battle of the Belgian bulge.
The President spent last night
at the executive mansion, with
Gov. Wallgren, a pal of old senate
days.
The President established a pre
cedent by flying here yesterday
from the nation's capitol, the
first airplane trip within the
country ever taken by a presi
dent. Beavers Blanked by

a copy of the registration; but the
landlord is required to post the
rates in each room or within
access of the tenant of each
rented unit.
Registration Is a MUST. It is
so vital to the operation of rent
control that the law has set up
penalties lor failure to comply
with this requirement. The pro
cess is simple. When you come to
the office to register, you neea
only be prepared to state what
rent was charged on the date
that establishes your rent cell

what equipment was included,

Produces Faster
And Cheaper Pork
By HOWARD W. BLAKE3LEE
(AP Science Editor)
: CLEMSON. S. C The ability
of a oia to have two breeds of
young simultaneously in the same
utter, eacn tne progeny oi a uu
ferent father, has been used at
Clemson college to show defi
nitely how to produce more pork,
faster and cheaper.
The experiments were made by
L. V. Starkey, E. G. Godbey and
E. D. Kyzer. Kerkshire sows were
bred to Berkshire boars and also
to Duroc boars. Poland China
sows were bred similarly to their
own kind and to Duroc boars.
The litters contained pure bred
pigs, when the piglets were fath
ered by the boar of the same
breed, and hybrids when they
came from the other breed fa
ther.
Sometimes all would be pure
