Th OHIGON STATESMAN, Ealem, Oregon, Wednesday Maralng, Jcmndry 7. 1942 FAGS .THTJS ... . t m , . By KIRKE L.. SIMPSON Wide World War Analyst for The Statesman Radio wav about the world vibrated Tuesday with Jan . ' . . ... ..... . t American design lor total war against the axis powers, a pro gram that assuredly spells death to Hitlerism in Europe and Asia. Armed with the weapons President Roosevelt has scheduled for production in this country within two years the united na tions, already welded into one co hesive unit of embattled free peo ples, cannot fail of absolute vic tory. Their almost limitless man power must eventually dominate every battleground, afloat, ashore and in the air. And to supplement the vast expansion of the American ar senal of : freedom which the president blue-printed to cheer ing legislators stands the ever rising output of the British em pire, the now proven resources of miffhty Russia, of China, of the Dutch East Indies and of the other American nations. The impact of that Roosevelt state-of-the-union message on such ears as it reached in Ger many, in Italy, in the Balkans and in Japan is yet to be gauged. Backed by the Roosevelt-Churchill conferences and the united na tion pact, that speech of itself rep resents the first formidable offen sive of the allies in the broadened world conflict. It is a counter stroke in the war of nerves and it was struck while the iron was hot; while Hitler's armies under his personal com mand were still reeling backward in Russia and with signs that the war tide is slowly changing against Japan in the far east The stagrerinr fact about the war into which Japan chose to plnnre just a month a- is that her desperate venture has failed , to aid her German master In his hoar of need. It Is now plain as a pike-staff that both Tokyo and Berlin were utterly unprepared for a Russian counter offensive on the scale on which It Is de veloping from Leningrad to the Crimea. At both ends of thatwinter locked battle front and even northward to the Arctic the Rus sians have found means to strike back. Hitler is described as striv ing desperately to rally his stag gering armies. Latest advices from the Crimea disclose threatening new Russian incursions stabbing at vital hazi communication lines. The Black sea anchor of the German defense front is menaced .from both the east and west. Red forces are al most astride nazi escape routes from the peninsula.

West Salem Council Holds Back Action on Proposed Power Plan WEST SALEM Pro and con discussion of West Salem water department action of installing wires from the electric control system at the city hall to the big reservoir on Kingwood Heights took place at the monthly meeting of the town council Monday. A controversial provision in the Portland General' Electric com pany's proposed contract with the city for the use of the poles led the discussion. The provision, which held up final action on the second consecutive council meet ing, .was a clause providing that PEPCO not be held tespdhsible for damage to property caused by the city wires The council, in re rusing to ' accept the agreement, takes the attitude that the clause as it reads would automatically saddle the city with the responsi bility, "laying them wide open to possible lawsuit in case of some accident,"! as one councilman ex pressed it! . At ..present the wires have been stretched on the PEPCO poles, at a cost to the city of , approximately $125. The power . company wonld allow the city : free use of the poles.

A balance of $5000 is in f the bank. t t' " On; the motion of Councilman " .Rudie, action was taken to move - the master switch for street lights . from the present location at Mac Nary avenue to the city hall for easier accessibility in case of blackout The; council referred to the street committee for considera t ' tlon and recommendation the ! request ; of West Salem com- . inanity club that the council i provide funds f or tbeconstrnc- tion of a tennis court and for installation of a sprinkler sys tem in the city park.

Water is backed up behind an upstream dam, and travels through six -miles of tunnel- and pipe line until it reaches the mountain top shown above. Then it falls W0 feet nearly double- the height of Multnomah Falls through enormous pipes, and spins two water wheels in the powerhouse. Installed capacity is 51,000 horse power. One of these pipes has 1100 steps for the use of workmen. PGE intended to develop this project with more dams and tunnels until it could generate 100,000 horsepower. This program was abandoned after the government started Bonneville Dam. J2000 fai'aa lastaat lUekoat This switch cost only $2-fbut we ad to spend $2000 for wiring in order to install it!
