them nothing to do, anyway, but
to die.
(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.

Rent Control How it Operates
(Editor's Note This Is one of
series of articles authorised by the
Rent Control drrlslon of the OPA
for the general Information of land
lords, tenants and owners of rental
property. 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

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

room,, cabin or other small unit
sub-let by a tenant must be reg
istered and is subject to the rent
regulations.
In the office of Daniel D. 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?
