Those left alive are expected to break up into dlsorganzlcd small bands that will filter back into the mountains to be hunted down a fw at a time by the Fill' plno guerrillas. THE Australians take the big Setla oil field n Borneo and drive on toward the smaller MIrl field. After doing all the damage they could, the Japs seem to be fleeing. Of Serla's 50 wells, 21 are still burning. Getting the field back into production will be a job, but we'll manage it. MORE THAN 150 U. S. and Australian bombers continue their pounding of Ballkpapan. Bombing on that scale usually means an Impending landing. THE Chinese claim to be only 175 miles south of Shanghai, after clearing the China coast behind them. IN Tokyo, Hlrohito Issues a "directive" instructing t h e members of the people's volun teer corps (home guards) that they must neither surrender nor permit themselves to be taken alive In the event of an allied in vasion of the homeland. That is to say, he tells them to tvln, get themselves killed or com mit suicide. rlAT might be sound enough Jap strategy if we . were s6 foolish as to fight the war from here on out the JAP WAY. General Arnold (U. S. army air corps commander) intimates in Honolulu that we don't intend to do it that way. He says: "Oki nawa will be one of our most im portant bases against Japan In the coming air offensive, which will reach its peak some time this fall "when every plane we can get our hands on will be sent to ELIMINATE Industrial Japan once and for all." FURTHER bad news for the Jups comes from Washington, where Lend-Loaser Crowley tells the house appropriations commit tee that lend-lease supplies cut off to WESTERN Russia when Gr-rmnny surendered are now being shipped into RUSSIAN SIBERIA. He adds that the Siberian shipments (including "all the items that our military men feel are necessary") are be ing made AT THE REQUEST of V. S. military leaders. He explains: "The possibility of Russia's entry into the war against Japan acts to pin down in northern Manchuria large numbers ' of Japanese troops which might otherwise be diverted against allied forces in the Asiatic theater." AT Honolulu, General Arnold gives us here on the home front a revealing glimpse of a question that must be settled and SETTLED RIGHT if America's future is to he secure. He says: "America's future security perhops the fate of mankind depends on our retaining the use of our bloodily won Pad fie bases . . . Our air power must be kjpt in a position to carry our attacks home to the heart of any aggres sor who may threaten us . . . Our own B-2bs can already strike ANYWHERE JN THE WORLD if we keep the use of certain stra tegic bases." He adds that WITH these bases America's entire strategic air force can be moved from San Francisco to Okinawa in 3G hours (without them, he means, It WOULDN'T be possible). He con- CONGRESS WHIPPING OPA By Charles V. Stanton The threat of Congress to strip OPA of its food controls is a stroke of lightning out of storm clouds which have been hovering" over the head of that federal bureau for several weeks. But we believe we are safe ih predicting that OPA will emerge With its power only slightly curtailed although, by the time Congress has finished, the OPA probably will have been rather severely shaken. Congress apparently has worked out a system for chastise ment of recalcitrant bureaus and agencies. The House votes out appropriations or reduces authority, or threatens, at least, to do so, and the Senate then, after much argument, rejects the action of the House and the whole matter is dropped. But the dirty linen of the affected bureau comes in for a thorough washing and public airing, and needed improvements usually result. This system has been used most effectively on the OWI to curb extravagances' and alleged un-American handling of propaganda "and censorship. The OPA is now being whipped around the same post. Nor is Congress being sparing in ita language. Senator Guy Cordon of Roseburg, while on a brief visit in Roseburg, unhesitatingly declared that "OPA couldn't have done a worse job if it had deliberately attempted sabotage." Senator Wayne Morse, replying to a letter from Chester Bowles, OPA administrator, charging the senator with misstating facts concerning the administrator's promise to furnish lamb marketing relief, not only brought proof to support his statement but also said to Mr. Bowles: May f say In passing that my experience with the OPA is that a spirit permeates your entire organzation that can be - characterized as a high and mighty attitude toward the Congress. Too few in your organization seem to recognize - that the OPA Is a creature of the Congress and Is directly responsible io the Congress for its acts and policies. , There is none of the usual political double-talk in that kind of language. There is no need of' looking for any hidden meaning. The meaning is evident: "Or else ." But in all of this Current storm surrounding the OPA, we shouldn't overlook a few very important facts. In spite of the fact that OPA has blundered and is blunder ing; despite the fact that its "high and mighty attitude" is not directed alone toward Congress but toward business and the general public as well, we still owe a debt of gratitude to OPA, Difficult as our food situation may be, it would be a lot more difficult if we didn't have price control and rationing. Some Of us perhaps -wouldn't be eating at all, and, most certainly, without price control and rationing, those of us who are not millionaires wouldn't be able to eat as well as we are doing today. OPA, or an organization of similar character (and any organization with the same responsibility would be just as, unpopular) is an absolute- necessity if we are to avoid r Hindus inflation. No sane person, We believe, would abolish price and ration ing controls entirely, but we have a right to demand that OPA quit playing politics with its administration, such as it did last fall, when it eased sugar rationing to get votes; utilizing rationing power to produce "awareness" of the war killing off little business to grease the skids for regi mentation and state socialism ; deliberately creating scarcity to preserve its own organization. Senator Cordon diagnosed OPA's principal ailment when he declared that its first and greatest mistake was creation of uncertainty. And he also prescribed the proper remedy when he said that OPA needs an injection of "common sense. We have every right to demand that OPA maintain its administration free from propaganda and political pur poses. But while we are criticizing OPA, we must not for one instant forget that it is essential to' our welfare and that our demands for improvement should be limited to demands for honest, courteous administration and not elimi nation or curtailment of the fundamental requirement for price control and rationing. Tilt Billed; Piluso Takes on Katonen Jack Kiser, the popular Pacific coast lightweight champion, will make his first appearance here next Saturday since losing to Paavo Katonen here almost two months ago. He lias been signed to meet burly Buck Davidson in the final half of a double main event. Davidson, who has his ups and downs with the local fans demanded a championship match because of recent wins. It should make a great match with David son's nower and weipht apalnsr Kiser's speed and science. I The first half of the double main event will feature two of the finest matmen to ever appear here. Paavo Katonen, former world's and coast champion, will match holds with Ernie Piluso, the popular Portland Italian. Ka tonen, the powerful Finn, needs no introduction to Roseburg fans. He has lost very few matches in the northwest and is gunning for both Kiser and Dusette. Piluso can match the Finn's strength and is just a little faster. When these men wrestled in Portland last summer, the whole town was talking about what a great match it was. The question is whether Piluso can match the Finn's rug ged ness. Both of these great matches are signed for Saturday night at the armory. Promoter Owen ad vised the fans to be sure and turn out for an evening of thrills. Rent Control How it Operates (Editor's Note This It one of s series of articles authorised by too Kent Control division of tno OVA tot tho general Information of land lords, tenants and owners of rental property. Specific information may be . obtained . At rent control hoard headquarters In tho OFA office, Boseborff.) eludes: "Wc shouldn't allow ANY THING to stop us from taking advantage of the power such a strategic air force has." IN Moscow, Marshal Zhukov, speaking at the tomb of Lonhi in a great celebration In which Hitler's swastika flag was first dragged through the Red Square and thru thrown into a gutter, says: "Soviet Russia now has the most modern and powerful ARMY in the world. We must increas ingly perfect our military skill and develop our military science." Note that Zhukov speaks of the Russian ARMY. From his empha sis on the ARMY, those who hope for friendly Russian-American co operation in the world of the future draw considerable consola tion. Russian ARMY strength Is unlikply to be aimed at OVER SEAS WAR. If he had urged soviet Russia to maintain the greatest AIR FORCE and the greatest NAVY in the world It would have been less reassuring.

(To Be Continued) Joyce Hurls 16th Win in Seals' Bid For Second Spot (By the Associated Press) .- Chalk up No. 16 for San Fran cisco's Bob Joyce, the Pncifjc coast league's leading hurler. He notched his lGth victory against six defeats last night as the Seals edged out the Los An geles Angels 5-4 in continuing their drive fcr second place. While the runner-up Seattle Rainiers were idle, the top-spot Portland Beavers rapped the Sac ramento Solons 51 to increase their lead to five full games. Oakland, a game behind the Seals in fourth, kept pace by rallying in the ninth inning to beat the Hollywood Stars 8-6. Portland's easy victory over Sacramento marked Beasley's first defeat in four stairs since he joined the Solons at the end of his Reno sgjiool-teaching term. The Beavers nicked the school master for tl hits and all their live runs in the eight innings he worked. Beasley had not allowed' an earned run in winning nis first three games. Llska, Portland's veteran submariner, pitched four hit ball and was beat out oSa shutout when an error In t'he filth allowed Sacramento to score its lone run. . ,.
