Hittoiy's mightiest fleets are pouring men aid supplies Into Pa cific island ports such as this one for the final crushing blow . against Japan, By THOMAS M. JOHNSON WASHINGTON, (NEA) While the world gazed in fascination toward Europe and the greatest victory in military annals, allied commanders wore quietly solving a vast problem in logistics transportation and- supply j which is the buildup for D day in Asia. ' From six continents and seven seas we arc assembling, mostly around a few islands, what will be the most powerful triphibious forces ever deployed. By air, sea and land they are assuming posi tion to crush Japan as Germany was crushed. The pressure will come partly from British, Indians, Anzacs, French; Dutch, Chinese, and pro bably Russians. But the direc tion copies largely from our joint chiefs of staff in Washington, the execution from American admir als and generals and from Am erican forces which will .be per haps twice our present Pacific strength of around 2,500,000. Army alone may send 2,000,000 from here and Europe, using improved- shipping methods. Already Pacific bases arc being prepared by engineers newly ar rived with materials from Eng land. .' Air fprcc ground and bomber crews arc also leaving there. Bombers, freed by the Luftwaffe's debacle, will be fol lowing soon. Astronomical quan tities, of bombs already are go ing. Next will come armored divisions, which the Japs have never faced. Successful invasion of sacred Honshu would doom Japan. For Japan, despite reports, cannot long support her armies on .in dustries outside the home islands. In Manchukuo, in China, and farther south, the limbs could be chopped off more easily if the heart had sloped. So this might be the quickest, hence the cheap est, route to victory. Stuffs Sort Plans Both plans and several vari ants have been mulled over by the Joint and combined chiefs of staff in their Washington head quarters. They have also con sulted the Russians who, In mili tary matters, hard-headedly ask "Why?" but, once convinced are terrific. The Japs know that. And they arc concentrating so strongly in Manchukuo that international law would call it a provocation justifying Russia in taking steps. Aand it appears that she may take them. By then we should have achieved our logistic miracle and built up troops and supplies for D day in the Pacific. Then the world will be set for the greatest last act ever staged by. Mars. Labor and Farmers Join Opposition to Peacetime Draft WASHINGTON, June 13 (UP) The nation's major labor or ganizations and two lending farm groups lined up with church and educational leaders today in op posing a permanent peacetime draft. Statements opposing a postwar compulsory military training pro gram were submitted to the house postwar military policy commit tee by the American Federation of labor and th-j nation grange. Similiar statements were slated to be offered by the congress of industrial organizations, t h e United automobile workers (CIO) and lha national farmers union. Lewis G. Hines, AFL legisla tive representative, told the com mitter that his organization stands on a motion it adopted last February which said: "We are opposed to compulsory military training and in no event should the mutter be considered until after demobilization of the armed forces. In the meantime this federation advocates a com prehensive program of improved education and health service lor the youth of the nation," Albei t S. Goss, grange master, said his organization opposed any action "until the terms of any in ternational agreement are known and until the men at the front have ample opportunity to par ticipate in the determination or policies so far-reaching." The grange also is opposed to main taining n large standing army. li State Civil Service Board Organized SALEM, Ore., Jund lit (UP) The state civil service commis sion created by the 1915 legisla ture and appointed by Gov.

Adams Ave. La Grande, Oregon CJn the loft sleeve of the uniform worn by passenger conductors, brakemen and flagmen are the insignia indicating length of service; a star for twenty-five years, a bar for each five years. The proud possessors of "stars and bars" help io form the solid foundation of a railroad's per sonnel. Because of their intimate knowledge of operating rules, equipment and facilities . . . the many situations and problems they have met and solved . . . they are of tremendous assist ance to younger men. Among the 65,000 Union Pacific employes there are approximately 7,000 "old timers" representing all departments with twenty or more years of service. These experienced em- ployes have, in a largo measure, been respon sible for the enviable record maintained by Union Pacific in the face of wartime conditions. I The transportation of many thousand trainloads of troops and materials over the Strategic Mid dle Route, uniting the East with the West Coast, calls for the wisdom and cool judgment of ma turity coupled with the ambition and tireless enorgy of younger employes. Union Pacific is proud of all its employes, re-' gardless of length of service, for the job they are doing to help speed the hour of victory.
