But there are hints in the news of taint cracks appearing In the hitherto smooth and polished surface of Bushldo. There can be little doubt that the cold-blooded Jap leadership HOPES we will become nauseated with Jap-killing and lose our nerve at the prospect of having to kill them all. We can't help hoping a little that the cannon-fodder1 type of Jap might become nauseated by the bleak prospect of dying use lessly. ABOUT all the surrendering re ported so far (which is on a microscopic scale in comparison with the huge numbers involved) indicates at best is that SOME JAPS are getting SOME SENSE. If the Jap leaders have ANY SENSE AT ALL they will sur render before their country is utterly and hopelessly smashed. They can't shrug off what hap pened to nazi Germany. COUNTY COURT PUZZLED OKINAWA dispatches tell of Japs throwing themselves Jrom cliffs Into the sea, as they did on Salpan and elsewhere. In an elaborate dugout that had been defended by naval forces we find the bodies of Admiral Mlnura Ota and his five top aides all with their throats' cut. OUR B-29s cdntlnue their fire bombing of Japan's smaller industrial cities. Three of them and Toyohashl on Honshu and Fukuoaka on Kyushu. Ail are about the size o Sacramento. One of our. returning pilots says he doesn't think we'll have to go back to Shlzuoka." Another reports that he saw a "solid mass of . fire roll over Toyohashl." Others mention violent air tur bulence from thermal updrafts .(meaning uprushlng hot air from the burning cities). One says that an intense blast of rising hot air "blew us up 3000 feet like a leaf." THEKE, will be a lot of that kind of stuff In the coming months. The Japs are undoubtedly getting Ihnlr war Industries under ground ns fast as they can, but we aren't going to give them time to do a really good Job of burrowing under. 'IAP broadcasts say that our (al J lied) naval forces are sweep ing the mines from Balikpapan harbor (which, if true, means that we're getting ready to land) MaeArthur's daily communique is still silent as to any allied sur face naval activity at Balikpapan, but says we dropped another 200 tons of bombs there. The' Australians are mopping no around Brunei bay, which they are readying as, a great al lied naval and air base. They are creeping up on the burning Scrla oil field to the south, and ale within 20 miles of it as this is written. By Charles V. Stanton The Douglas county court declares willingness to make improvements to the North Umpqua road to relieve trans portation handicaps facing log truckers, but professes in ability tos solve technical problems involved. Ordinary methods of maintaining road surface are not sufficient to meet demands of heavy traffic the road is called upon to bear, the court contends. Ah experiment now is in progress on the Calapooia road east of Sutherlin, but whether or not it will work satisfactorily haii not yet been determined. The court expresses a willingness to attempt the same experi ment on the North Umpqua road if operators will partici pate, but refuses to guarantee results. In the meantime, a most dangerous situation is building up. Independent truck operators declare they will take their equipment off the run if something is not done within the next 80 days to improve the road surface. . Several operators already have left the territory and have gone to coast regions. Log production is reported by operators to be down at least 150,000 board feet per day, at a time when mill owners are endeavoring to build up stock piles. Truckers charge that the condition of the North Umpqua road between Roseburg and Glide is resulting in damage to equipment; that a. truck wrecks an average of one tire every two days and averages a flat tire per day; that trucks must be laid off for a day at a time for repairs whichiwould be unnecessary if the road was properly surfaced, 'and that all profit has been taken out of trucking by excessive opera tional costs. The county court makes no denial of these conditions, nside from claims that overloads and excessive speed con tribute partly to equipment breakage and tire wear. The road surface is in bad condition, the court admits, and it is claimed that this is due in large, measure to engineering plans followed by the Public Roads Administration when the road was reconstructed last year. Protest was made at. the time the route was surfaced ,on the contention that the top materials contained too much sand and would not hold up under heavy traffic, the court reports. The PRA also, tried an experiment in which some sections of the oiled portion of the roadway were ncarified before being resurfaced, while on other portions the new surface was laid on top of the old oiled subgrade without scarifying, It is thesp latter sections, it 1s reported that are causing the greatest trouble. The severity of the problem is recognized, but the court admits it doesn t know what to do about it. Scarifying and blading at this time of the year is useless, the court contends, because it simply loosens the surface, which is promptly kicked off the road by the heavily weighted vehicles. Filling potholes with rock is likewise futile, as the first truck over the road knocks all of the rock out of thp holo. In wet weather scarifying and blading works satisfactorily, but, tho process of intense soaking with water tanks and then smoothing tho surface does not work nt this time of year, because tho top dressing dries out before it has time to pack and harden, it is stated. On the -Calapooia road the court is experimenting with a' two-lift, oil and crushed rock surface. Operators paid for the oil. Whether the experiment will be successful re mains to be seen. There already is some evidence that little permanent value will result, unless traffic can bo kept off the road for two or three days after surfacing, the court reports. Willingness to try the .same experiment on the North Umpqua road was expressed by the court, providing finan cial cooperation is furnished by the operators. .The county, it was explained, has only" a limited amount of money to spend on road improvements. If the North Umpqua road is to be given oil treatment, it will bo neces- ,&ry to buy a largo quantity of fine,, clean, crushed rock and existing funds are not sufficient to meet total cost. The PRA established stockpiles of rock along the North Umpqua road, but the court contends this rock is too large and contains too much sand. The sand would absorb the oil which would thereby lose its quality as a binder The court wants the operators to assist in buying oil and rock for the experiment, but gives 'no guarantee that the new surface will be permanent. Estimates of cost are being prepared as preliminary to further consideration of the program. In the meantime, truckers have laid their problem before the War Production board and aro meeting today with the Roseburg Chamber of Commerce road committee. ,, !,,; ' It is to be hoped that' some satisfactory solution' to this problem may be found with the least possible delay, as serious damage to industry and to. production of lumber for war needs may result if prompt action is not obtained U.
