surrender business. 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

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS.

b won without the use of war-alcohol . , .
the kind the beverage distillers have been
producing for the government for over
two years?"
OLD JUDGE: "Thaf right. Fred. It is a
basic ingredient in the smokeless powder
used in virtually every firearm from a pistol
to a 16-inch gun. And. in addition, it plays
a more human role. The medical supplies
which our military doctors use to alleviate
psin, combat infection, save lives are pre
pared with war -alcohol"
FRED: "No wonder, then, more and more
people are recognizing the great contribu
tion our beverage distillers have made to
the winning of the war with their double
