Davis, representative of the YMCA world commit tee stationed at Geneva, Switzerland, spoke to some 73 Northwest YMCA council delegates Saturday night in the Marion hotel on "Serving Prisoners of War." Speaking on the subject of the afternoon session of Jhe seventh annual convention were Everett Craven, Tacoma, George Martin and Lorne E. Bell regional directors In USO work. Ivan B. Rhodes, Salem, presided over the session.""""-. Today's sessions begin at 7:30 am. with a breakfast at the -Y with Dr. Ooorgo WincheU as speaker. C: J. Shaw will speak to the delegates when they gather for the 9:30 session. Elections for the conference will be held prior to lurfcheon. "Three weeks ace wo received permission from Japan to work with their prisoners." Dr. Davis told a Statesman reporter. Ho pointed out, however, that the work would have to be carried oat threufh the Switzerland of fice of Director Henri Johannot because only a hon-belllserent country may work in the camps of warring nations. "There are about four times as many prisoners of war in Ger many alone as the total popula tion of Oregon," he said, work is now carried on in 600 camps in 28 different nations. The prison ers live in barrack' cities and have complete electrical and sanitary facilities. Only two countries, Russia and Italy, have as yet to sign the treaty which permits prisoner of war work by .a belligerent country,- This work Is a concrete broth erhood of Christianity and good wilL" Dr. Davis told the group Among the aids for exercising the talents of these "prisoners of to day and citizens of tomorrow" which are brought about by YMCA secretaries, are circulating libraries, sport boxes and food contributions . Speaking; on "Youth Meets, the Test," Gov. Charles A. Sprarue said. "Youth has made the psy etiological somersault y ti t h has responded." The governor Illustrated how the psyeholort eal change of this feneration has advanced from that of "de mands following World War I to that of willingness to ac cept $21 a month and the chance of personal harm hi this con flict. He called attention to the chance of attitude In youth from "The covernment owes s a II Ting to "We owe our govern ment our Uvea." . Roy Sorenson, associate secre tary of the' national council of YMCA dealt with numerous facts and figures in his discussion of "YMCA in War and in Peace. This is the fourth adjustment in war work for the YMCA's,' said Sorenson pointing out the Y had served in four wars past "We must continue to build the Ameri ca for which we fight even while we fight," Sorenson told the gath ering.

The latest hit-and-run smash at nasi, coastal bases was pat terned after the World war na val action at Zeebrugge, Bel- alum, when the British navy bottled up the Germans there by sinking concrete-filled ships In the harbor entrance. ' The RAF aided the operation by diversionary bombings and Beau- fighters of toe coastal command covered the return trip. Before the British gave their side of the picture, the German trumpeted to the world that the expedition had met with disaster. "Wait and see," said the British, who explained that no detailed an nouncement would be issued until their forces were safe home from the hazardous return voyage of 270 miles across the western end of the English channel and around Brittany peninsula to the nearest English ports on the Cornish coast The Germans' communlqui Issued In unusual Intensity said an eld American destroyer crammed with explosives which the British Intended to blow up In the lock gates was exploded by naval artillery fire before It could be rammed to Its goal; that a fleet of IS British motor torpedo . boats and . torpedo boats was sunk, the remaining naval units including destroyers routed by naval and anti-aircraft fire; and that those forces which succeeded In getting ashore were routed, annihilated, encircled or captured.' The Germans specifically claimed more than 100 prisoners. On the other hand, the first, 38 word British communique stressed that it was "a small raid" and said virtually nothing else. (Moreover, all day long stringent censorship was apparent on the story.) Despite the official attitude, the choice of Brittany for this latest of commando raids, the second on the French coast, appeared signifi cant in view of the contention of many "second front" advocates that the British could seize and hold a line across that 100-mile wide peninsula. A line from St Nazaire on the south coast of Brittany to St Malo on the north would Isolate many of Germany's most prized French airports, as well as Brest, the port and shipbuilding center which served as a hideout ofr many months for the two battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau be fore they escaped through the channel. Nazis Switch . Fight Tactics , (Continued from Page 1) m visions which blasted their way Into Kussia lost summer. The midnight Russian' commun ique said that these German counter-attack in some sectors were repulsed with heavy losses for the Germans and that Rus sian troops continued their offen sive fighting, occupying several inhabited localities. Eight German planes were reported destroyed Friday. While the foreign military ob server expressed the utmost con fidence in the current soviet cam paign with its constant threat of outflanking .and encircling the Germans, he declared mat it would be essential for the allies to opena second front against the nazis in order to enable the Red army to deliver a knockout blow this year..'V CLEAN FAST- COOL ECONOMICAL!
