borne supplies and heavy weap
ons, thus closing the trap on the
20,000 to 30,000 Japs being hazed
northward down the Cagayan val
ley. 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.

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.

lowing conditions:
1. Substantial deterioration
other than ordinary wear and
tear since the date fixing the
ceiling.
2. A decrease in services, furni

3. A special relationship be

which ,in this case, resulted in a
rent on the freeze date higher
than prevailing rents in the area.
4. A schedule of varying rents
that was at its peak on the freeze
date. . - '
5. A schedule of seasonal rents
likewise at its peak when rents
were frozen. . . .
6. A substantial decrease In

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. . ,.
