' We mustn't be too sure 6f that. The Jap can live on unbeliev ably little. OUR roaming bombers are con centrating on Jap oil and Jup ships. It Is announced today that 90 per cent of Formosa's alcohol production has been destroyed. Each day sees the destruction of more Jap oil rellncrles. IN Japan's principal Industrial cities, we have now burned and -bombed out 117 square miles roughly HALF of it In Tokyo alone. Imagine an area ten miles long by six miles wide burned and blown out of the heart of San Francisco. But even that doesn't tell the whole story. San Fran cisco is a shipping, rather than "an industrial city. Tokyo Is 'heavily Industrial, as well as 1 shipping. ; If you are familiar with Phila- neipnia, wnicn is ooin snipping "and . Industrial,' try to visualize 80 square miles laid waste In the .heart of It. That will give you ;nome idea of what is happening -although you must still remem ber that Japan Is only about one and a half times the land area of Oregon, with crowded cities BUNCHED TOGETHER. AND don't forget that our cam paign of destruction of the Jap war Industry from the air Is only BEGINNING. MflTH our American hnhlt ot if Jumping to conclusions (espe cially HOPEFUL ones) we're apt to think that it's all over but the shouting already. That ISN'T true. The Japs are a persistent ieople. They are the world's best burrowers. They're getting underground as fast as -they can. Even with all their 'cities smashed they will be able .to produce a lot of war material. " But they haven't the ghost of u chance to win. All they are doing Is Inviting national extinc tion. PLANES from Okinawa and the Philippines are OVERLAP PING at Shanghai. '( Incidentally the Japs arc re ported today to have closed ALL German firms in Shanghai and to have interned 1700 Germans. The little yellow men have no further use for a LOSER. As an Interesting sidelight In ' the news, they have ordered all Inon-essentlal Jap civilians out of Singapore. They're evidently look ing for trouble In that quarter.

They were pictures taken in d German internment camp. They were not the type of pictures made by professional news photographers. We have seen many pictures of atrocities in our papers arid magazines pictures of corpses covering the' ground or piled on gondolas; pic tures of starvation victims, etc., but there are certain limits to the type of picture which can be printed in a newspaper without stepping outside the bounds of public taste. But the pictures we saw had no such limitations. They were not taken for any purpose of publication1. They were, rather candid, uhretoiiched arid pictorial evidence 6f German atrocities. These pictures were taken by a couple of G. I. Joes. They went out at daylight to make snapshots at the prison camp they had captured the night before. Some of the pictures were foggy (for which We were grateful). They were strictly amnteurish from a photographic standpoint. But they portray 1'ai more definitely thari do the more limited news photos the crime against humanity perpetrated by the German people. There can be no question of th'eir authenticity. No one can claim that they are "propaganda" pictures!, for they were made by two enlisted men who had no propaganda purposes to serve. One of the men who photographed the scene was Hugo J? redrickson of Koseburg, a son of Mrs. C. E. Fredrickson. i'rior to entering military service he had worked at various times lor the News-Review as an asistant to his brother, Walter rredrickson, News-ICeview pressman arid foreman, to whom the pictures were sent. Hugo was with the First army. Doubtless there are still some people in this country who favor an easy peace for Germany. We believe a good type of treatment for these people would be to take some of these photographs, showing evidence of extreme German brutality, blow them up to suitable size, and then force the easy peace proponents to look at them once a day for a week. Following the last war, some of the atrocity propaganda was proven false and because of that fact many people doubted ttje truth of internment camp tales from this war. Fhotographs, some contended, could be posed without much ditliculty. But there is no getting around a set of amateur photographs taken early in the morning by a couple of curious and desperately angry G. l.'s at a camp captured the preceding night. Uur high command made sure that evidence of German guilt could not be denied this time, as was done following the last war. They called delegations Irom Gongress and from Parliament to vieto the horrors of the internment camps. They summoned representatives of the press to Europe tor the sarrie purpose. ' Best of all, they riiade Ger man citizens view the camps with their gas chambers, incinerators, torture Cells and piles of emaciated cadavers. Whole populations of adjacent German cities were made to view these evidences of nazi crime and provide decent, burial lor the victims. It is hard at times to realize the extent of uninhibited human brutality. Our minds strive to rationalize the evi dence of such inhumanity. But Germany's crime has been too fully documented to permit denial. The world has been too Well advised to allow of any semblance of a reasonable doubt. It would be Well, wo believe, if pictures of German atroci ties of this war could be exhibited upon a regular anni versary throughout the coming years, as a reminder to peace loving nations that the expenditure of force to prevent future war is fully justified by the loll of lives taken in the current war ; lives not only of brave fighting men, but also of helpless, innocent civilians, whose only offense was that of disagreement with the prevailing political party, or whose blood line was not that of the so-called super-race. willing to TRY It we couldn't have learned that It would work. Stat PreM Comment IF FISHERIES ARE TO SURVIVE ( Astorlan Budget ) Two current news items bear upon the necessity of those In teresled In picscrving the fishery resources of our rivers and streams mobilizing their forces to Insist Hint federal and state agencies recognize the value of that resource and not forget it in thMr zeal for other Industrial developments. One from Wash ington lells of a recommendation by the house appropriations com mittee fur an additional livers and harliors Appropriation for various projects including locks and dams on the Snake river and the Umatilla dam. The second from Salem tells of the hiring of an engineer by the Willamette river basin commission and Wil lamette valley projects commit tee to promote the building of additional dams on the Willamcte and tributaries. Neither the commercial nor sport Jishlng Interests can rightly he accused of having tried to slop the use. of the waters of our streams for other Industrial purposes, despite the recent blast given them by John W. Keiley, secretary of the state post-war development commission and ex officio secretary of the Wil lamette ilver basin commission a blast in which he accused sDurtsmen and commercial fish ing interests of . trying to stop SIGO.OOO.OOO of (lam projects. They do Insist and will continue to Insist, however, that the value of the fishery resource be taken Into consideration when dams for power, Irrigation, ilood control, navigation and other purposes arc considered and promoted. Aside from the U. S. engineers, we kno'.v of no agency ihterfcateU 111 ROSEBURG' NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG", ..OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 5, I94S the building of these dams which has given the value of the fish eries any more than a passing thought. This is particularly true of the agencies which have been nro- moling the series of dams on the Willamette river. They have Ignored the fact that five of the projecicci Hams would be built upon the live main branches of the Willamette which produce the Krraier part oi ine spring chl nooks and which furnish the principal sport fishery. When the fish people have protested or insisted upon consideration, they have met with ridicule and re buke. ft might be well to hear in mind that this Willamette valley project has been fostered and promoted with slate money, ap propriations made by the legisla ture. These aproprialions have been lobbied through by pressure groups despite the fact that the act establishes a precedent diffi cult to defend. When before did the state ever take taxpayers' money to support the Interests of one group over another? The Willamette Valley Flood Control association Is nothing more or less than a glollfied chamber of commerce working tor the direct Interests of one district ot the slate, and it has been financed by the state. There have been similar associations to promote irrigation districts, the Bonneville and Umatilla dams, highway building, military and naval dc fense and for various other bene ficial projects but they raised their own money from those to be benefited, from private sources, rather than running to tnc state tor tax money. Unless the sports and commer cial fishery Interests get together and fight for the wildlife of the streams, they will find that the groups supported by public funds will outmaneuver them and do irreparable damage to one of the stdie 6 (.rc-utest natural r't sources. Baird Describes Loan Made To Elliott Roosevelt MONTCLAIR, N. J.. Julv 5- (AP) David G. Baird. Now York insurance executive, described as "private and personal invest ments" the loans totalling $120.. 000 made by himself and a busi ness acquaintance to Elliott Roosevelt in 1939 In Which, the twd lost approximately S70,000 when the Texas Radio network business venture of the late pres ident's son failed. The loans were "entered into for profit because the loan car ried for the lenders an option to purchase stock in the network at the original offering price," Baird said, "and tne gains could have been substantial. The companies did not turn out to be profitable, and the loans were liquidated at losses to the lenders." He said that through "payment and salvage" he recovered about $30,000 on a 570,000 loan and that his acquaintance, Maxwell M. Bilofsky, a radio tube and electri cal apparatus manufacturer, re covered about $20,000 on a $50, 000 loan. Baird said the lenders nevnr purchased stock in the network. He said he recovered as much as he did because Roosevelt gave him some Transcontin ental Broadcasting company stock as collateral. He said he had known young Roosevelt, now a brigadier general in the army, lor a num ber of years, but only in a busi ness way, and added tnat, as tar as he knew, President Roosevelt was never apprised of the loan. He termed hlmsell a political in dependent with no political con nections, and said he had never had any government contracts or negotiations. Counsel for John Hartford, president of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea company, re. vealed recently that Hartford had lost 5196,000 01 a S200.000 loan to Roosevelt and written it off as a bad debt in his 1942 income tax return. When queried about the tax an- ele of his loan. Baird replied, "no comment." Coast Loop Sees 3 Shut-Outs, One Handed Portland (By the Associated Press) San Francisco's Seals, beaten by the Sacramento Solons 8-3 last night, are now three full games behind the second Dlace Seattle Rainlers, who again are separated by only 45 tilts from the Pacific Coast league's front-running Portland Beavers. . Seattle gained A full tilt on the pacesetters with a tight 1-0 vic tory over the Los Angeles Aneels as Portland was being blanked 10 0 by the Oakland Acorns. Hol lywood's Stars took their third straight from San Diego GO to complete the night's schedule. Seattle's left fielder. Norbcrt. broke up a tight pitching duel with a seventh-inning homo run, his 12th of the year. The round tripper was one of three hits is sued by the Angels' Osborn. Los Angeles rapped out six swat-i off Hurler Chet Johnson, but w ar. un able to bunch them for any tal lies. Oakland's 10-0 triumph came af the expense of two Portland moundsmcn, Cohen and Carr. Mann, Oakland tosser, rnaced eight Beaver hits and whiffed eight. LETTERS to the Editor TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON STREETS HERE CRITICIZED Editor News-Review: Somebody must be responsible for clearing up the traffic mess on Oak, Cass and Lane where they intersect Stephens. This aftnrnoon at 5:20 I saw a line of cars tied up for seven minutes on Cass street. The line emptied slowly into Stephens and filled up again on the end and was at no time below the Fern. It ran solidly across the Cass and Rose Intersection and tied up traffic on Rose. I saw a doctor from the Veterans' hospital try in vain to lict moving; 1 hoio no one was walling for his services. Dr. Shoe maker has alreadv drawn atten tion to the Oak and Stephens In tersection. I indorse everything lie said and 1 want to add that this particular crossing takes oir an added hazard when school opens in September. I do not know what public body of men has the obligation in this matter, nor do I know what is the solution to the problem. The problem is obvious; in fact it has 'long ago passed that stage. The public deserves a quick solu tion thereof. Fr. William Coughlan Roseburg, Ore.

Matchmaker Don Owon an nounced here today that he had signed the Indiana villain in a semi-final match against Milt Ol son, extremely popular ex-coast light-heavyweight champion from Minnesota. Iipscomb, despite a thick waist line, is one of the roughest and toughest matment in the business. He has been ranked among the ton ten men in the licht-heavy- weight class for the past six years by King magazine, specializing in heart blows and a winning half-Boston crab, Lipscomb Is one of the most feared matmen in the game. Ho is difficult to ma neuver out of position and is con stantly on top of his opponent. Olson has proved his ability be fore local fans, however, and will have an enthusiastic following in the skirmish against Lipscomb. Attracting the most interest, and promising to fill the local armory arena to capacity, will be the Pacific coast Junior heavy weight championship bout be tween Champion Georges Dusette and Challenger Paavo Katoncn. The headllner promises to be the top scientific classic in local mat history with plenty of fire works tossed in for good meas ure. While both are clean mat men, neither will hesitate to open up with flurries of fisticuffs when necessary. . The program is one of the mosl promising of the season, accord ing to Douglas county railbirds. Elton Owen will referee the matches.
