GUAiM, July 7 (UP) Jap
anese homeland, aflame from
Tokyo: to the inland sea under
one of the greatest fire raids
in history, was proclaimed
wide open for invasion today
after 32 days of continuous
aerial bombardment.
More than 600 Superfortresses
struck probably the heaviest blow
of the Pacific war during the
night. They splattered almost
4,000 tons of demolition and in
cendiary bombs into five big Jap
anese war centers lying along a
275-mile arc of central Honshu.
Fires Rage -
Columns of smoke and finmc
spouting four miles into the night
sky gave fiery proof the flimsy
target cities had joined the death
list of 27 other Japanese towns
gutted by! the B-29s.
Tokyo admitted fires were still
raging out of control in parts of
the bombed cities after duybrcak
today. The raid capped an all
day scries of fighter and bomber
forays yesterday in which Amer
ican fliers sank or damaged 10
more Japanese ships and destroy
ed 24 grounded enemy planes on
Kyushu.
Primary Job
Even before the announcement
of the new raid, the U. S. fleet
marine force's new commander,
Lt. Gen. Roy S. Gelger, dcrlarcd
the aerial soflening-up already
hud accomplished its primary
job.
"Now it is just a question of
wading in and finishing this war,"
Geiger told a Pearl Harbor press
conference. American troops, he
added emphatically, can land in
Japan "any time we want to."
The 00-year-old marine com
mander predicted flatly that the
United States' overwhelming su
periority in personnel and equip
ment will make it impossible for
the Japanese to repulse the inva
sion. Possibly Quit
Geiger blushed aside the Jap
anese suicide planes and civilian
"home guard" as no more than
nuisances. He conceded the pos
sibility Japan's big industrialists
might force their military leaders
to capitulate .
His words were echoed on Oki
nawa by the veteran Gen. Joseph
W. Stilwcll, who declared flatly
that it; would take more than
overwhelming air power to beat
Japan "it will take invasion."
Meanwhile, Japan's ordeal by
fire is continuing and mountaing
In fury. At least three army air
forces, backed by marine and
navy fliers, are hammering at the
memy's war centers and two
more the eighth and 13th arc
on the way.

Aiissies Complain
Of Treatment In
Panama Canal Zone
SYDNEY, July 7 (UP) Almost
700 Australian troops, enroute
home from German prison camps,
jrrived in Sydney today protest
ing bitterly over rough treatment
by native policemen and courts
in the Panama Canal zone.
Aussies said trouble over the
Australian - American currency
exchange rate started a free-for-all
at Colon, while their ship
was passing through the canal.
The Australians said the fight
broke out when they and a group
of returning New Zcilandcrs ob
jected lo receiving only S2.50 for
the English pound instiad of $4.
Native Panama policemen "in
terfered" and used their clubs on
the Anzac veterans, and arrested
many of them, they said.
"The courts sat day and night
as Australians and New Zealand
ers lined up to be fined," said
one soldier. "The native police
were given a percentage of the
fines."

27 Auto Deaths in
State During May
SALEM, July 7 (UP) Thir
teen persons died for every
100,000,000 miles of automobile
traffic in Oregon during May,
the slate department safety
division reported today, or 27
deaths in all. For the first five
months of 1945, 12 persons died
for the same distance traveled,
and the rate was eight during
the same period of 1944.
Traffic deaths during the
first five months of the year
totaled 118, compared to 96 for
the same period last year, an
increase of 18 percent. Exces
sive speed was blamed for a
large share of the accidents.
300 Attend Vocal
Institute Recital;
Chorus, Soloists
More than 300 music lovers of
La Grande who attended the vo
cal recital at Eastern Oiegon col
lege auditorium Friday night are
looking forward to the institute
next summer which will probably
again offer a closing recital.
The institute this summer, last
ing three weeks, under direction
of Charles Wilson Lawrence,
guest instructor, was productive
of excellent results, judging from
the conceit last night. Soloists
were well choeen and were well
received by the audience.
Professor Lawrence's easy, ef
fective directing of the chorus of
50 voices gave charm lo the pro
gram of well balanced selections.
Of the 70 students registered for
the institute, at least 50 took part
in the chorus, which had an out
standing contralto section.
Mrs. Florence Miller, vocal in
structor at the college, was in
charge of the details of the pro
gram and Miss Marcia Miller was
accompanist.
Jap Attempt On
Mac Arthur Foiled
MANILA, July 7 (UP) It was
confirmed loday a Japanese spy
ring attempted to assassinate Gen.
Douglas MacArthur.
The seven spies who took part
in the plot all were caught and
hanged June 7 and II. They in
cluded four Japanese civilians,
two Japanese soldiers, and one
Filipino civilian.
The spies infiltrated American
lines after MacArthur arrived at
Manila. They were armed with
revolvers and grenades and they
made attempts to get within
range of MacArthur. However,
they were never able ti. get close
enough to do any damage.
The plotters asked too many
questions, and that probably was
their undoing. They persistently
questioned Manila residents about
MacArthur's movements. They
also had been instructed to de
termine the schedule of move
ments of other high officials.
Angell Declares
Power Rates High
WASHINGTON, July 7 (UP)
R p. Homer D. Angell, It., Ore,
charged today consumers of elec
tric power from the Bonneville,
Ore., project were forced to pay
inequitably high rates.
Ange'l said the $17.50 kilowatt
year rate set by the federal pow
er commission could be reducid
lo $14.50 if "Oregon rate payers
are not penalized by having sub
sidies in their rale base to pay
reclamation costs in other districts."
LA GRANDE. OREGON SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1945
Vinson In Favor
Of Broad Base
For Income Tax
WASHINGTON, July 7 (UP)
Personal income tax payers in
cluding the little fellows can
expect little from Fred M. Vin
son who has been chosen to be
come secretary of tho treasury
next month.
Vinson believes excess profits
taxes on business should be re
pealed immcdiatly after Japan is
whipped. He would write post
war tax bills to encourage capi
tal to take job-making risks. But
he be'.ieves the personal inocmc
tax base should be broad that
is, I he exemptions should be low.
Ideas Shown
Actually, of course, congress
writes the tax laws. But the rec
ommendations of the treasury
usually weigh heavily. y
Vinson will step up from direc
torship of the office of war mo
bilization and reconversion. He
is a Kcntuckian and a graduate
of the house of representatives.
Vinson's ideas on postwar tax
es and spending were revealed a
week ago in his report as war
mobilization director lo the pres
ident and to congress.
Huge Budget
"It is reasonable to expect," he
said, "the government will be
spending, on the average, about
$25,000,000,000 a year, about thioc
times the prewar budget."
Vinson endorsed the pending
full employment bill. It is a plan
to make estimates of business and
employment conditions under
circumstances which would per
mit the government to expand
or contract its own spending to
keep everyone employed. The
bill has been mightily applaud
ed and equally condemned. Its
opponents contend the margin of
error in such proposed estimates
would be disastrously great rind
costly.

FIVE CENTS
Values
U. S. Will
Buy Much
Less Soon
WASHINGTON, July 7
(UP) Agriculture Secre;
tury Clinton P. Anderson an
nounced today a sharp cut in
government purchases of but
ter. I
OPA said this wilt make a
possible reduction in ration
point values of butter July 29.
Anderson said government
purchases in. August will be
only 20 per cent of creamery
butter production, compared
with the 50 per cent taken
this month. ,
As a result of the action, Ches
ter Bowles, price administor, said
a "slight cut" in red point values
will be possible for the next
monthly ration. ,
Tho amount of the point cut
will bo announced later, probably
a reduction to 20 points a pound.
It has keen 24 since Dec. 20. ,
Anderson reported that civil
ians may expect to get 90,0'00,000
pounds of butter during August
compared with about 80,000,000
this month. ,
Today's action followed charges
in congress last week that the
high point value on butter was
causing it to accumulate in stor
age in some areas, wth spoilage
resulting. ;
It was learned that OPA fav
ored immediate reduction In
point values to take care of these
"trouble spots." Anderson, how
ever, tok the firm view that the
present butter supply situation
would not warrant the cut until
next month.
'With the set-aside at 50 per
cent during July," Anderson said,
the supply of butter available
for civilian consumption will not
be sufficient to justify a chango
in point values for the remainder
of this month."
