(4 LTHQUGH savage and brutal, A Bushido Isn't quite as absurd as It sounds. These and other thousands of Japs scattered through southeast Asia, the Dutch East Indies and the islands of the Pacific are expected, to trade their lives for time. ' ' " ;' Time in which something, ANY THING, might happen maybe a quarrel between us and the Rus sians, maybe a ruckus between U3 and the British, maybe a squeamish unwillingness on our part to face and go through with the sickening task of killing mil lions of Japs. After all, In the thinking of the enemy high command, it means only the death of more Japs and Ihere are plenty of Japs where these came from and more be ing born every day. IK Borneo the Australians are pushing southward from Brunei toward the oil fields, now some 25 miles distant. The Japs are destroying the fields as fast and W thoroughly as they can. The Uumcs from the fires they have let are visible 60 miles away, and PT boats half a mile offshore can feel the blistering heat. Tokyo radio says our ships and planes have been bombing and shelling Balikpapan, another big Borneo oil area, "for days," but there is no definite Indication as yet that we are about to land. IN southern Germany American troops who have been prodding and searching for weeks, uncover another four billion dollar Ger man gold hoard. We are now permitted to know that when Britain faced invasion back In the dark days of 1940 she scattered her gold hoard through out the world, sending It out on ships that took long chances, sometimes unescorted. The whole enterprise, wo are told, Involved only the "trifling loss o! some 20 million dollars." "Trifling," although It jars on the ears of us little people when used to describe 20 million dollars, is the right word. What is $20, 000,000 in a world war? ' THE British sont their gold over seas, to places where they might recover It and use it. The Germans, having no place over seas to go and no ships to get there with, burled theirs where they might be able to dig It up and use it The fact that they seem to have buried the bulk of it in southern Germany indicates that they did HOPE to hang out in the much touted but in the end futile Ba varian "redoubt." The nazis dreamed of using It as a treasury with which to carry on the nnzl cause Into the long years of the future. OR did they'? Maybe Hitler, Goerlng, Hlmnv ler, Rlbbcntrop & Co. merely hoped to escape with their own precious lives and sneak back later to dig up the gold for their OWN uses. PRESIDENT TRUMAN recom mends to congress legislation making the speaker of the house cf representatives next In succes sion to the presidency (as II now stands the secretry of state would become president If Truman Should die). He points nut that he now could APPOINT his successor tin the event, that Is, that he should die in office). We would then have an appointed, not an elected, president In order to become ipeater, a member of the home RAILROADS By Charles V. Stanton t Civilians should plan to stay off passenger trains during the next few months, Southern Pacific officials told us this week; while making a courtesy call at the News-Review office. We assured them it was no trouble at ail for south ern Oregon residents to stay off the "Hoot-Owl Express," which serves this territory, - a statement to which they toot no offense, having ridden to lloeeburg from Portland on the all-night limited. ; J j j . But for once we can ajrree entirely with the Southern Pacific officers and we can 1 sympathize with them in the job that lies ahead, , ' i : '. i ! . . This nation faces a gigantic transportation problem in moving millions of men- to the Pacific combat area. Here on the Pacific coast our rail facilities are extremely limited when compared with the more populous Atlantic seaboard with its network of railroads and its many well-developed ports. ..i Three and one-half million men are to be brought home from Europe during the next ten months, according to present estimates. It took more than three years to get them from this- country to Europe, but now they are being brought home as rapidly as transportation can be provided by plane and boat and it Will be the job of the railroad com panies to handle the land transportation problem. ''-. ' . Every man returned from Europe will make from she to eight moves before he goes overseas again, the military services estimate. Immediately after he lands in this coun try he will go into a camp for processing. , Then .he may be moved to another camp where he will be readied for fur lough home. Following his furlough, he will go to a redistri bution center, from which he will receive assignment to a training camp to be prepared for combat in the Pacific area, which requires instruction in a different type of warfare than that in which he participated in Europe. After training and organization into overseas units, most of the men will get another furlough home before taking off for Tokyo, and will then have to be returned to their camps, with an other move coming between camp and port of embarkation. This means that the three and one-half million men com ing back from Europe will provide from 20 to 30 million passengers for the nation's railroads. Oregon's military Camps are being reactivated and prob ably will be packed to capacity in the near future. Movement to and from these camps will provide railroads with more than 15 times the volume of normal peace-time passenger travel. , The military services have acquired 40 per cent of the nation's Pullman equipment and expect to take at least .one half of the remainder. , Ten per cent of all .coaches have been taken over for military transportation and more will be required. In addition to moving men, the railroads must transport their supplies and equipment. This is putting additional strain upon freight facilities. ' Already the Southern Pacific company is short 200 flat cars for the territory from Eugene soutbrthe-railroad officials report. Cooperation of shippers will be required in anticipating car loadings during the coming months. The condition is one which will show no improvement but, in fact, will grow increasingly critical until the war in the Pacific is successfully concluded. There is, therefore, good reason for the request of S. P. officials that we limit our rail travel to a minimum. Military requirement should nnd must receive first call upon all of our transportation facilities. LETTERS to the Editor SCHOOL HEAD ENDORSES PROPOSED CIGARETTE TAX Editor News-Review: In light of the needs of the scnonis or Oregon and of the Koseburg schools particularly, since the proposed cigarette tax would net tins district about $w 000, I wish to go on record as en dorsing the tax, from a necessity principle rather than a moial is sue Involved. It Is not my policy to wish or vote a tax on someone else to support a benefit which I wish to participate In. However, since 31 oilier states have such u cigarette tax to support schools and not one of them has ever re pealed that tax; since public srnoois must receive adequate and permanent state support If we he to equalize educational opportunity for all the children of the state; since the suppoit of education cannot rest solely upon either property tax or in come tax, as Is now the case In Oregon; since this proposal Is a new source ot revenue tor ihe support of schools, and since it must first be ELECTED. The same Is true of members of Ihe senate, but President. Truman points out that members of the house of representatives are closer to the people than senators. The dispatches point out with brutal candor of good reporters that since President Truman Is embarking on an unprecedented period of travel by air (to San Francisco, via Olympla, to ad dress the UNCIO conference, back to Washington, then to Ber 'lin to attend the meeting of the Big Three) the chances of his death while in office are tiot necessarily remote. N Addition to the considera tions mentioned, there is the further fact that Mr. Stettlnlus, president secretary of state and thus next In line of succession, is a rt-publlcan.) FOR G. I. JOE will touch a number of people who pay little or nothing lor the support of schools, I wish to go on record as favoring this meas ure In the election next Friday. PAUL S. ELLIOTT, Superintendent of Schools. Beavers Cling to League Top Margin (By the Associated Press) The Portland Beavers and Seattle Rainiers, taking turn about this week in the "win-loss" department, are separated aaain today at the top of the Pacific Coast league by four nnd a half games, while minor shuffling in the lower ranks put the Oakland Acorns and San Francisco Seals in possession of the other two first division berths , Portland squared its series with the Sacramento Solons bv win ning 81 last night, as Seattle dropped n a-i contest to San Diego for a one-all standing against the Padres. The Acorns' 8-7 and 6-t sweep ot a twin bill with the Los Angeles Angels en abled them to hang onto third glace half a game ahead of the eals, who w on twice from Holly wood's Stars 9-6 and 8-2. Top pitching performances marked the northwest duels. The Beavers' veteran submariner. Llska, held the Solons to six scat fered hits and n single rim, while - VjTjUI? i his mate were pounding two Sacramento hurlers for 13 blows. San Diego's Trahd duplicated Liska's feat in limiting Seattle to six hits and one run. The Padres found their former team mate, Chet Johnson, easy pick ings as they drove him to the showers.

Specific Information may ' be obtained at rent control board headquarters in the OPA offloe, Roseburg. - .... With the registration com pleted, administration of the OPA's control program gets un der way. But before going Into such phases of the plan as adjust ments, evictions and compliance, you might be interested in know ing what rent control does and does not cover. In the first place, the OPA uro gram reaches oniy dwelling ren tals. It has nothing to do with rates on commercial properties. Secondly, it does not touch ren tal of housing accommodations located on a farm and occupied by a tenant engaged in farming the property. Third, it does include sublet ting, and thus a tenant may him self become a landlord. Every Staff Prepares for Boy Scout Camp camp l.ncKY nnv aivtn members of the Camp Lucky Uoy staff moved into this Blue river Boy Scout camp last Monday to prepare for the opening of a nine week season next Sunday, June 24. Camp Lucky Boy, which is op erated by the Oregon Trail coun cil,. Boy Scouts of America, for troops in Benton, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane, and Lincoln coun ties, is located about 45 miles oast of Eugene Just off the McKer.zie highway. , The camp staff is participating In a 20-hour training course dur ing the week directed by Jiidson W. Compton, camp director, and Ernest A. Seaton, assistant camp director. The "Fundamentals of Scouting," camp program and schedule, camper counseling, camp health and safety, scout craft, and handicraft are in cluded in the training sessions. Most of each day is spent in special camp projects which will give the morp than -600 Boy Scouts who will attend Camp Lucky Boy a quality scout camp ing experience, Compton ex plained. The camp serves as a laboratory for Boy Scout troops to participate in outdoor activi ties, including aquatics, hiking and camping, handicraft, and scoutcratt skills. Members of the camp staff who are now in camp in addition to the director and assistant di rector are Dr. H. W. Greene, Ralph Jackson and Albert Pow ers of the handicraft department; Jack Graham, Bob Merriam and John Diehl of the scoutcraft de partment; Kermit Chapman and Nelson Durbin of the waterfront staff; Dean McCorkle and Bdl 18-0Z.jjc PKG. i6 SiOf'w,krt , jjsC 1i . tfl 3 7T,; T0 ""Ported fro7."olend of tha 1 1 YJP rCif I H j Cnflrme aj Frtrlnv rind i tt t r4nv II AAliith.

Gage, OPA rent executive for the Port land district, hangs this notice: "This office operates for two pur poses: 1. To prevent unjustified and unauthorized increase in dwelling rentals. 2 To prevent un lawful evictions. "We are not allowed to give le gal advice on state law as it re lates to landlords and tenants. For such problems and for other landlord-tenant difficulties, we can only refer you to the proper agencies." That sign grew out cf long ex perience with rent control. The time of the local rent office can be saved from waste on irrele vant problems and devoted ex clusively,, to the administratioon of regulations if landlords and tenants will remember OPA's fundamental purposes.

DIAL-LOG By Susan Remember to tune in by 6:30 tonight for Starlight Serenade. As a matter of fact, we should say be sure to tune in by 6:15 for your favorite fifteen minutes of organ music, for that's the time Esther Geddes brings you Music You Remember on Thurs day nights. Starlight Serenade has a combination of hit tunes from Latin America and some of our own favorites, presented by Bea Wain (and she has looks as well as a voice) and Nestor Chayres. Bulldog Drummond's adventure tonight is slightly reminiscent of story book days, since it con cerns a city bear and a country bear; but a murder IS thrown in for the who-dun-it fans. Wings Over the Nation at 9:30 for some good music, and that's about the story for tonight. If you are getting up with the sun these summer mornings, be sure to remember that KRNR is now on the air at 6:30, and tflat there's a good newscast at 7:00 in the morning, followed by fifteen minutes of fun and music on Smile Time at 7:15. In fact there's good listening all through the morning hours for vou now. Be a 'listenin', won't you? Orange Juice Ivory Soapp.ri.oMi Etar 27c T"M . Catsup Red & While, 8-oz.
