SERIOUS FIRE DANGER
In the Day's Hews

Tokyo, daring the Jap lighters to
come up. None came. In the
course ol their foray, the Iwo
pilotg destroyed eight enemy
planes and damaged 25 at three
fields but of this total only one
of those destroyed and six of
those damaged were airborne.
The rest were parked.
HE Japs are obviously saving
up their fighters for the big
emergency. The Germans mea
that and wound up with a
good reserve of planes but not
enough gas to fly them.
ON Borneo, the Australians have
been killing Japs at the rate
of 13 to one (13 dead Japs for
each Australian killed). We've
been achieving about the same
ratio.
The time may arrive when
there won't be plenty more Japs
where the dead ones came from.
By Charles V. Stanton .
A serious fire danger exists in the city of Roseburg and
to a lesser degree in other municipalities of the county. The
hazard results from accumulation of tall grass, weeds, berry
vines, etc., scattered throughout residential areas. Nearly
every vacant lot is a threat to surrounding homes. There
are some untended yards. Two juvenile smokers recently
set fire to a weed patch in North Eoseburg, endangering
a block of fine homes and a warehouse filled with lumber.
The city of Roseburg has an ordinance requiring property
owners to keep their land free from tall grass and weeds,
and published warning to clear lots or suffer penalties has
been given by the police department. But property owners
in several instances have notified the police department they
will pay for clearing the property if the police will find
a workman to do the job, and the officers have had no luck
hiring grass cutters.
Until this year it has always been possible to find a few
men to do this type of work and the police usually were able
to arrest some "winos" to assist with the task. But at pres
ent even "winos" seem to be scarce, and experienced and
willing grass cutters appear to be non-existant. '
It is evident that property owners will find it advisable
to call in the services of the Roseburg Fire department.
The firemen have been burning grass on private property,
charging a small fee for each lot burned. Some people do
not like the soot and ashes resulting from such grass fires,
but it is better to look upon the ashes of a grass fire rather
than the blackened ruins of a good home.
ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURS; OREGON. TUESDAY, JULY Iff. T94
Wage Ceilings for
Prune, Pear Harvest
Will be Discussed

An.rr.t Trevtoll lnl
Irish Author
THE little yellow men have been
chased out of Balikpapan and
are retiring through the adjacent
oil fields (burning and blowing
up as they go) toward the Jungle
in the backeroilhd. '
The Borneo Jungles, inhabited
by poisonous snakes and head
hunting Dyaks, won't be a par
ticularly happy home for them.
The Dyaks, like the Moros and
the Igorots, don't like Japs.
THESE developments, culled
from one day's dispatches, pro
duce Inevitably In our minds the
impression that we've got the
Jap on the run and it won't be
Ioiie now.
NOTHING could be more mis
leading.
All over southeast Asia, all over
the Islands of the Pacific, there
are garrisons of doomed Japs,
with largo food and ammunition
dumps, condemned by the code of
Bushido to die where they are.
So far as their families are con
corned, they are dead already,
What amounted to funeral cere
monies were hold for them when
they departed from the homeland.
If one of them lost his nerve and
somehow sneaked hack he would
he treated as if he were dead
though still walking.
The cold blooded Jap high com
mand relics on this situation to
wear us out and tiro us of the
killing.
THE Japs can't win. But nothing
in the record so far Justifies
the prediction that he will have
sense enough to quit soon.
kN the European side, where
1 the shooting has ended but
: the nervousness hasn't, American,
British and French troops are
moving In to occupy their agreed-
on zones In Berlin. There is
muddle with the Russians.
The muddle seems to be on the
higher levels, as all military
Americans report that their per
sonal relations with the Russians
on the Job arc cordial and
friendly. This same report from
the secretary of the American
chamber of commerce In Ger
many, who stuck out the war
there, and tells of difficulties
with Moscow over American
owned plants In Germany but
adds that his treatment by all
local Russians Is respectful and
friendly. They are Invariably
courteous and sympathetic, but
sny they are bound by their
higher level orders.
City May Get Traffic Signals
Installation of stop-and-go traffic signals at intersections
of Cass and Oak streets with the Pacific highway in Rose
burg has been recommended to the State Highway commis
sion by the street committee of the Roseburg city council and
by the chamber of commerce. There has been a great deal
of complaint in recent months concerning congestion of
traffic at these two intersections and the condition has
been growing steadily more critical.
The highway department a few years ago conducted a
traffic check and found that vehicular use of the intersec
tions was not sufficient to justify stop-and-go signals. It did,
however, install flasher-type warning signals.
Since the check was made, there has been a very great
increase in local traffic brought about by increased popula
tion and commercial hauling. Cross travel, at least at cer
tain periods of the day, ' is considerably greater than on
the highway, but cars on the through route have right-of-way
and often cause great inconvenience and serious traffic
jams.
Personally, we have held the opinion that traffic signals
should not 'be Installed until absolutely necessary, as the
city already is cluttered with traffic controls until a new
driver sprains hia eyeballs trying to find his way around.
But it is quite evident that something must bo done without
further delay to keep busy intersections clear. Stop-and-g
signals seem the most logical answer to the problem.
Douglas county prune and pear
growers will meet Wednesday
evening at 8:00 o'clock in the
circuit courtroom in Roseburg to
discuss wage ceilings for farm
labor during the coming harvest
season, according to J. Roland
Parker, county agent. Represen
tatives of the State Wage Stabili
zation board will be present to
explain the wage stabilization act
and outline procedure for grow
ers to follow'ln requesting per
mission to pay more than the
present ceiling wage for key men
on special jobs.
In communities where specific
wage ceilings for farm labor
have not been established, a
farmer may pay any wage up to
$200 a month or 85 cents an hour,
out it he wished to increase the
rate above either of these
amounts, he must first obtain
approval of the Stabilization
board. Many growers, states
County Agent Parker, feel key
men In harvesting operations are
entitled to better compensation
than the present wage ceilings
permit, especially with a shortage
of farm labor and higher wage
ceiling estaDiisnea in industry.
All prune and pear growers are
requested to attend the meetinH
and express their opinion as to
wages lor the pear ana prune
harvest. A committee of prune
growers for the past month has
been working on harvesting prob
lems and feel that stabilization of
wages will do much to help secure
needed labor. Members of the
committee to coordinate labor re
cruitment are G. N. Riddle,
Myrtle Creek; R. A. Busenbark,
Roseburg; J. G. Bacon, umpqua,
and Eugene H. Fisher, Oakland.

It seems a hard thing to con

It may. . -
"The fact that their cities arc

And If wo clean them out, we

French Election
Slated; DeGauIle
May be "Drafted"
PARIS, Julv 10. fAP) Two
government officials, who claim
to kknow Gen. De Gaulle's inten
tions,' said today that he would
not oe a candidate lor the new
national assembly which the
French will select at a geenral
election Octi -14 and expressed
doubt whether he would align
himself with any party.
Political "circles considered it
likely, however, that the new as
sembly would exercise its power
to -arait- ve uauue, tne presi
dent of the present provisional
government, ior oince. -, -
The late of the bi-cameral sys
tem of government Is expected
to be at stake in the general ejec
tion, the first in France since be
fore the war, when the voters' de
cide whether they wish to discard
tne constitution oi mis, under
which the Third Republic was
established.
The voteus will name 600 rep
resentatives who will comprise
the new assembly. This body then
will name a "president of govern
ment' who in turn will select his
cabinet ministers. The president
need not come from the assembly
itself since the system provides
for complete freedom of selection.
Consequently De Gaulle might
be chosen to head the next gov
ernment even if he does not have
an official position following the
election. In any case it is consid
ered reasonably certain that he
would be one of the new govern
ment's ministers.
