Gasoline rationing starts next week; reg
istration is scheduled for Thursday and Friday
of this week at the elementary schools. De
' tailed instructions for the rationing boards,
registrars and gasoline dealers of this area
:, were not available for study, except perhaps
. .in the rationing board office, at latest report.
There are Indications however that the regu
" lations will be but slightly different from those
in operation in the eastern states, copies of
: which we have been privileged to peruse.
There is a great deal that might be of
general interest in these regulations but an
attempt to outline the program 4n the space
available here might be more confusing than
Illuminating. There are three varieties of ra-
tioning cards, A, B and X. The A card is for
. motorists who have only slight practical ne
cessity, or none at all, for driving their cars.
1 ' The B cards, in three separate divisions de
pending upon the amount of gasoline needed,
re for those who from necessity drive their
cars to and from work. The X card is for
vehicles actually used in their owners' or ope
rators' occupations; it imposes no limitation
upon the amount of gasoline purchased but
as in the other cases, the gasoline must under
ordinary circumstances be pumped into the
tank on the vehicle to which the card pertains.
There is a procedure however for buying a
gallon in a can, for the relief of motorists
eaught in that all-too-familiar embarrassing
predicament. '
There is a lot more information in the in
struction folder, but never mind. You'll learn
it all in due course. All you have to do is
register, and then proceed to buy gasoline
when and as you need it and can get it.
The question to which everyone wants an
answer is: How much gasoline may I buy?
Judging from the text of the instructions
is well as from the statements of rationing
authorities, this is the answer:
You may have -all the gasoline you need,
fcut very little of the gasoline you want but
lon't need.
Except in line of duty, people may as
well make up their mindslhat they are "goin'
lowhere." Not even by bus or train, when ra
tioning is extended to those modes of travel.
You can walk as far as you like.
As Adolf Berle, assistant secretary of state,
remarked the other day:
By summer's end, Xt will no longer be
possible to occupy leisure time in motoring.
It will not be easy to visit the motion pic
ture. Quiet will descend on even the most
crowded roads. Civilian life , will have less
In it of sound, of light and of motion. . . .
It means that we shall have once more the
luxury of living in our own minds. We shall
merely return to the habits of life and thought
which served the country well up to a cen
tury ago.
What was good enough ids great-grandfather,
may not be good enough! suit us. But
It may be good for us. .
Japanese Evacuation
Whereas most residents of the Pacific
Northwest are largely "goin' nowhere" after
June 1 for the reasons cited above, all persons
of the Japanese race regardless of citizenship
who live in western Oregon or in certain por
tions of central Oregon west of The Dalles
California highway, are going on a ' trip on
that same date or within a day or so later.
The more' numerous Multnomah county
Japanese having been moved earlier, the num
ber involved in the present evacuation order
ii not large. From Marion county will go 193;
from Polk 28 and from Linn four.
Of the necessity for their departure,
enough has been said heretofore. Among them
re some who are loyal to the United States
and some who are loyal to Japan, and there
is no sure method of separating the two
groups. They are being moved because the
second group is dangerous here in the war
zone. Their removal is a matter of military
necessity and involves some theoretical in
justice to those who are loyal to the United
States but no practical injustice. They will
be. better off as charges of the government
where they are going, than they would be
here, attempting to make their own way
amidst suspicion and hostility.
It so happens that the removal followed
by one day the disclosure that Italian evacuees
from the United States, on reaching Lisbon
charged that Japanese- here had been the vic
tims of brutality and oppression. The charges
created a sensation in Japan and we have cause
for concern as to the resultant treatment of
Americans interned there. But we know that
except for a few isolated acts of irresponsible
civilians, the charges are false.
I From the standpoint of physical comfort,
these evacuees will be much better off than
the theoretically "free" people of their home
land -and presently if the events of which we
re confident materialize, they will be much
, safer. The contrast between their considerate
"treatment here and that which Americans in
- " terned in Japan or in the territory under Jap-"
anese rule must be undergoing, is not however
matter that should be over-emphasized. That
would sort of put us on the enemy's level. If
( w were on his level there would be no sense
'N In fighting him.
Mexico as Belligerent
v 1 j Mexico's twenty million population ap
parently will be formally enrolled among the
active foes' of the axis within less than a week.
Aroused by the sinking of two Mexican mer
- chant vessels, the people of our neighbor na
lion on the south are clamoring for a declara
tion of war and their government appears to
be of the same mind.
j- A little over a year ago Mexico had an
army of 126,000, including 700 in the air
: corps. Nearly half af its land strength was in
the reserve;1 which has since been expanded to
round 400,000. including . many men only
partly trained. Its navy consists of 15 vessels,
no more than sufficient to patrol the nation's
own extensive coastlines. Mexico is determined
Paul Halloa
to play its full part in the common war effort
but its role can hardly be decisive. Yet it
is a mistake to assume that the impending
declaration of war is unimpgy&nt. '
Though nine Latin American nations have
declared war on the axis, Mexico will be the
first among the larger nations of the group
to do so. Most' of the South American nations
have definitely placed themselves on our" side
of the fence by breaking off diplomatic rela
tions, with axis countries; Argentina and Chile
are the exceptions.
There has long been a solidarity of opinion
jand mutual understanding among the Latin
American peoples from which the United States
and Canada have been excluded by difference
in race and language and by suspicion of "Yan- '
kee imperialism." The present crisis has served
notably to melt this barrier; Mexico's example
in becoming a belligerent should serve further
to convince South Americans of the actual di
rection of their interests. It will! make axis
fifth columnists' propaganda task jmore diffi
cult everywhere in Latin America.' It will re
duce the possibility of unopposed ? axis pene
tration there. j
Though Mexico has heretofore extended
permission for United States forces to enter
its territory in case of military Necessity, and
has made some progress in muzzling fifth col
umnists, a Mexican declaration of war will
simplify and promote continental and hemi
spheric security and unity. The. United Na
tions have substantial reason to welcome an
other active belligerent into the fold.

j Certain specific spots around
the world are being watched
closely from here as we pass
--cy I " the turning point or our own
PreParation hi0 e phase of
VX,? VjS aggressive action, to wit:
" " i Russian front All expect
A'-Jkii the Russians to hold through
the summer, but the spring
fighting has not started too
well for our side.
Kerch was a red thorn in
the side of the nazis. Its complete loss would
mean a clear flank for Hitler in the Crimea, Rus
sian loss of the Sea of Azov and assumption of
an onerous duty of defending the. Kerch strait.
Moscow admits several thousand casualties there;
Germans claim 150,000; real figure lies some
where between.
This annoyance could have been offset by
swift capture of Kharkov, b"ut just as the Rus
sians were ready to march in a few '.days back,
Von Beck, the nazi general, attacked and out
flanked them.
Discomforting, but hardly disastrous news,
is possible from Russia.
China Theirspbt Is really tightening to a pin
point The Japanese drive should not. crush their
armies, but a lot more valuable territory may
be lost. The situation can best be told this way:
The Jap ideawhere those Doolittle bomb
ers came fromfnot my idea, or yours) is cir
cumscribed hp an arc from Tokyo running through
Chang-sha frf central China. Inside that arc are
hidden air fields, in the opinion of Tokyo, which
remain a threat to the Japanese homeland.
It is that area upon which their immediate
attack is concentrated. The Yangtze-Yunnan pin
cer drive is apt to be at least partly successful,
as China is practically cut off from our flow of
heavy munitions.
Sea front While we pushed our troops safe
ly across to northern Ireland and can push more
anytime, some authorities mourn the fact that
this job required drawing destroyers in from other
points and ships were sunk as a result.
Criticism has been heard thai we sent any
troops to northern Ireland, a British isles- area,
where the largest inactive military force of the
United Nations already is present. It seems to
me the explanation is that the British have always
feared a nazi invasion of Ireland and thought
American troops would be more welcome as de
fenders than British. Probably no more will be
needed
Home front We have bombed Japan and
Japan will bomb our mainland as soon as they
can figure out a way of doing it Our new found
optimism should be accompanied by increased
alertness.
News from the production battle front con
tinues to generate confidence. More stories axe told
of strategical discoveries and victories there, for
instance:
Morale of workers has improved tremen
dously since the first of the, year. No big de
vastating strikes have been reported in that
period.
General Motors has discovered a new tech
nique for mass production of machine guns which
is drawing wide inside praise. ...
Consolidated Aircraft is building those four
motored bombers on a production line, a mass
method never before achieved. ...
Allison, which had so much trouble with that
liquid-cooled airplane engine, has succeeded in
ironing out bugs and is producing. ...
Skilled workers are beginning to come fast
now from those vocational training and factory
training schools. ... "
The famed Chrysler tank arsenal was started
in October, 1940, and due to be completed in 18
months. At that rate it would just now be finished,
but it has been producing tanks for some time. ...
Biggest other new plants have just recently
come into mass deliveries; Consolidated Bomber,
Ford's Willow Run, Magnesium. ...
Frigidaire began to plan making machine
guns a year and a half ago, has now also reached
mass production deliveries. . . .
The machine tool industry is entitled to fly
the highest flag. It's work is the basis of all
production and it was our first bottleneck. But
the figures show it doubled production in one
yearv now is doubling 'again. ; v
No nation, no .system of government or eco
nomics aeywhere in the world, can match these

DEHYDRATION
Report from Dallas is that a
prune dehydrating plant near
Dallas has been leased and will
be converted' for vegetable dry
ing. . Initial operation is reported to
be on potatoes, with the possi
bility of a crew of 70 working on
a 24-hour basis and operations
to continue until July 1.
The operator who has leased
the dryer is said to have govern
ment orders and will use about
1,600,000 pounds of potatoes pur
chased in the Klamath Falls dis
trict. The process call for the pota
toes to be machine peeled, eyes
removed and diced before being
steam cooked. Following cook
ing lh potatoes will be riced
and placed on trays and sent
through the drying tunnels. A
new mesh wire will be used on
the prune trays during the dry
. ing process. The dried product
will be packed in five-gallon
tin cans and solder sealed.
The product is expected to go
into export but exactly where
has not been announced:
Green beans, carrots, cabbage
and possibly onions are reported
to be other products which may
be given similar treatment.
Some idea of the possibilities
. of dehydration are suggested in
the report that the potatoes will
dry out about nine to one. This
comparison suggests the possi
ble field for dehydration now
that shipping space is at a pre
mium. " The report from Dallas gives
another interesting development
in methods of food processing.
It suggests the possibility that a
few of the better prune dryers in
this district which are conven
iently located - and adequately
equipped might be used to bet
ter advantage of their owners
and make- a real contribution
I toward ; food for victory than
.they are maWng at the present
time standing idle with only the
promise of a short prune crop.

Sven without the spur provid
ed by that misnamed American
flying? officer, General Doolittle,
and his men, Japan's mopup
campaign In Chins has seemed
the most logical Nipponese move
once China's Burma road was
called off.
The dangereos poss bility si1
air attacks on Japaa from
bases in the great eastern
badge sf China was to sbrfevs
to be ignored. The ' bombs
DeeJiitle's planes spattered en
Japanese cities merely made
the danger more immediate
than Tokys had anticipated.
Yet, by Chinese estimates of
the size of Japanese ground
forces engaged, the China clean
up campaign represents a rela
tively small troop concentration
compared with the size of the
Job in hand. There is no reason
for Chinese spokesmen to mini
mize the Japanese strength, quits
the contrary. They are urgently
asking more Anglo-American
help.
Yet available Chungking ad
vices place the aggregate force
involved in the four-pronged
Japanese offensive .in China's
eastern provinces at less than
150,000 men. And with that
force, fronted by a relatively
heavy air power concentration.
the Japanese appear to be set
ting out to complete a Job of
breakJngphinese resistance or
at least to sweep the United
Nation frontier in China back
far enough to safeguard Japan,
Formosa and vital China aea
traffic from air attack.
It is quite an undertaking in
s geographical , sense alone. The
coastal and hinterland provinces
of China in the eastern bulge
south of Shanghai represent an
enormous sweep of territory. To
clear it all of Chinese resistance
or potential allied air bases
would require a gigantic expan
sion of Japanese control.
The greatest threat implied
In American bombing of Japa
nese cities, awmlng that Doe
UUle's planes took off from
Chins (as the Japanese are
convinced they did) is te For
mosa, a target the American
flier passed by. It lies in the
China sea Just across narrow
Formosa Strait from the south
eastern bend of the Chinese
mainland coast.
Chang-sha, deep in the heart
of the Chinese eastern bulge and.
scene of Japan's most recent set
back, is not much more than
600 air miles from Formosa.
That powerful island nerve cen
ter of the whole southward push
of the Japanese is reachable by
air from almost any part of the
mainland provinces west of it.

'Crime at Castaway'
By EDITH BRISTOL
Chapter 15 Continued
"It's Lance," she sobbed. "They
found the murder gun in his
room at the construction camp."
The city detectives worked
fast We all admitted that as
Martha collected herself enough
to tell us what had happened. It
was 8 o'clock that morning when
I told Landers and Howell of
the sleeping medicine bought at
the drug store in . Gallina. And
I was sure now, as I remember
ed it, that I had not mentioned
Lance as the one who brought
the medicine from the store to
Castaway. .
Before noon the two detec
tives were searching the ranch
house, questioning the servants
and Martha, looking for lance,
who had driven to the Gallina
Dam construction camp. They
certainly moved fast.
They must have covered the
70 miles to the dam in record
breaking time, for in the early
afternoon they searched Lance's
little room the one he used
when he stayed on the job over
night And In that tiny room,
If you could call the cubicle a
room, under some clothes in a
small chest of drawers, they
found a revolver. A .32 calibre,
it was, and hurrying back to the
district attorney's office in Gal
lina, they found that its rifling
matched the bullets neatly tag
ged "Exhibit A" in the murder
mystery of Walter Gregg.
The rifling in the revolver
was identical, too, with the
grooves on the bullet taken from
Durfee's brain and deposited in
the office of the coroner, await
ing the delayed inquest That
they learned before nightfall,
eee
. . and Lance is being
held,' Martha concluded.
"Under arrest? Allen reach
ed for his big hat "They can't
do that"
"Not under arrest He's held
as a material witness . . . what
ever that means," Martha added.
"And you know, Nate, that boy
would have no more to do. with
any of these terrible things than
a baby! You know that! And as
for the Durfee killing, he was
with you in the party that found
the wrecked car." -
Something was puzzling me.
I asked a question.
"But the San Francisco detec
tives were not looking for s gun.
They were searching for the
person who Changed the label on
the box of Mrs. Gregg's sleep
ing medicine." It didn't make
'-from Huntington W.Ta.) Advertiser.
"Lance was the .on who
brought the medicine from the
store yesterday . . ." Only yes
terday. It seemed ages ago. .
The officers here think he
could have changed the label,"
Allen explained.
"He could," Martha objected.
"But why should he??
"111 be back pretty soon." Al
len put on the big hat "III run'
down to the Hall of Justice and
see what I can find out"
Martha sat upright in one of
the fragile gold chairs of Es- :
tell's drawing room. It didn't fit
her masculine, homely person
ality any better than it fit her
square, stocky figure.
I tried to comfort her. But ;
nothing I could say gave her as
much comfort as the words Syd
ney blurted out .
"Aunt Martha" He took one
of her square brown bands in
his. "Ever since I 'came to Cast
away, all the years Tve been
r there, you have been kind to I
me and good to my mother. I
don't think I ever told you so.
But I am sorry I have been
such a heel and now that Lance
i in i jam IU try to make it
up to you by being as good to
you as I can."
Martha cried a little but I
think it was better for her than
the stony, rigid silence in which
she had met her brother's death.
Anyhow, I know what Sydney
said helped her and we waited
without much more conversa
tion. Deep down inside me there
was awful feeling. This couldn't
be true about Lance. My heart
was aching for Aunt Martha and
her fear for her boy. But there
was some ache there for myself,
as welL Lance couldn't be con
cerned in those igly deeds. Ha
wouldn't! There wasn't a chance.
I remembered his -clear eyes, his
straightforward manner ... It
simply wasn't possible.
The sheriff wasn't gone very
long. If he was much distressed
by what he learned at the Hall
of Justice he didn't show it
"These city detectives have
got to show up a hick peace of
ficer from the sticks meaning
me," he said. "They were right
to check up on everybody who
might have had access to the
medicine that killed Estelle.
Lance was only one of the per
sons questioned. Dr. Henry and
the clerk at the store, too. Lan
ders and Howell went over them
all. That was only routine it's
something else that happened. I
think it will prove to be the
clue that will give us the real
killer. Only right now it puts
Lance on the spo. I talked to
the boy. He's taking it all right."
"But why should they have
driven clear up to the dam to
search Lance's room to find out
what he might have done to a
package he carried home from
the drug store?" I insisted.
