In China big things seemed to be afoot In the first place, the top American commanders in " southeast Asia General Stil well, General Brereton of the air corps - and General Chennault of the AVG Flying Tigers appeared in Chungking for conferences with Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek. In the second place reports were heard in that Chinese capi tal that the Japanese were mass ing new troops in Manchoukuo and the possibility' that the enemy , might be preparing to try an at tack on soviet Siberia was again raised. The Chinese press, meanwhile, pointing out that the country was up against it on several fronts, urged the United States to take more aggressive steps in the Ori- ent. j "The allies," said one paper, "should launch attacks against Japan by land, sea and air in col laboration with China's war ef fort." On tho most critical of tho current Chinese fighting fronts, that in the province of Chekl anr, the enemy was within three miles of the provincial capital of Chuhslen, although his losses had been heavy before Chinese artillery fire. This area is of great importance as one of the most feasible for allied counter air action against Japan.

A decision was postponed un til Friday when a vote also is expected on whether the Na 1 1 o n a 1 Youth administration should be continued. The appropriations commit tee eliminated from a billion-dollar bill to finance the labor de partment, the social security board and related agencies an item of $75,818,000 to provide for 350 CCC camps. Rep. Engel (R-Mich) seeking to forestall efforts to restore the item to the measure, told the chamber: "This year 64 per cent of the CCC enrollment comes from farms or cities under 2500 population These boys ought to stay on the farms where they belong before the farm labor situation is further aggravated." Engel also asserted that in past years when the camp en rollments had dropped, the per capita cost had Increased, "and no effort has been made to cut the payrolls of civilian em ployes." But Rep. Tarver (D-Ga) ar gued that the CCC appropriation should be restored "because the camps will be needed to take care of young men returning from the war and unable to find em ployment.' mind "that only in the Philippines has your flag been hauled down and replaced by the flag of the rising sun."

Th OSEGON STATESMAN. Satan Gestapo Takes Toll of Czechs 5000 in Concentration Camps; Exiled People Joyed at Revolt (Continued From Page 1) pistol had been found in the pos iession "of some parachute agents who had been dropped by British planes over the protectorate." - It warthe bomb, the broadcast said, which got "Der Henker" the hangman while he was rid ing beside his chauffeur on a steep hairpin curve a week ago. The two killers leaped at the car as it rounded the blind curve; the one man with a pistol missed and then the second threw the bomb, a fragment wounding Heydrich. The bomb, said the broadcast, was of a type used by tne British against tanks in Africa. Whatever the truth of these details, the British government long ago promised post-war punishment for this "bloodiest of all the bloody nasis." The 38-year-old Heydrich headed the list of those on whom the British plan to exact retribution for nail terrorism In the occu pied countries. The hundreds of Czechs who have died, or who probably faced death Thursday night because of the assassination, will be merely additions to a vast roll begun in 1941 when Hitler sent "the hang man as reichsprotector for Bo hemia and Moravia to Prague to "quiet unrest." Hundreds of executioners' ri flea produced a "quiet but failed to subdue the sullen hate of the freedom-loving Czechs. And so, on last Tuesday, the propaganda minister of the puppet Czech government finally revealed what had only been hinted before the young Czechs, trained abroad, had come in numbers by night out of skies with arms and explosives to strike at the nazi oppressors. The minister, Emanuel Moravec, insisted that most of the 'chutists had been rounded up, therefore no special precautions for nazi officials had been thought necessary. But then he admitted a few had escaped and that these "sufficed to bring misfortune to us." That misfortune, he said, con sisted not only of the attack on Heydruch. "They (the parachutists) were told that revolution was Immin ent in Bohemia and Moravia. As a signal for the uprising, a number of assaults were carried out against prominent and Czech per sonalities and a series of attacks were made against industrial plants, public buildings and other institutions." Five thousand peasants, teach ers, housewives and students were huddled tonight behind the barbed-wire of nasi con centration camps. The convenient German charge of "communism" put 142 others In jail for 12-year terms. Even so, to officials of the ex iled Czech government in London it was a day of jubilation. They said that Czechs must die if Cze choslovakia is to be free. They added nothing to the German ver sion of the parachutists, but there was no hint that their number would diminish. Instead, the Czech official spokesman warned: "Let Himmler, Goering, Hitler and others bear in mind that what happened to Heydrich can happen to them." State Officer Enters Army State Police Sgt.

After a brief public school teaching career at Ballston and in Salem, where he was Lincoln school's first principal, he was invited to Willamette in 1893 to teach mathematics, a position he never relinquished although tech nically "retired" several years ago. An alumni endowed chair in mathematics bears his name, and he no longer was the sole pro fessor of that subject at Willam ette but the school year just clos ed had seen his classes filled with students preparing for new tech nical tasks and his teaching schedule once lightened had been made heavier by war industry calls. More than half of the univer sity's graduates have passed through his classes, for as the student body and curriculum grew to Professor Matthews was hand ed the course in "college life," re quired of all freshmen. Purporting to teach habits of study, of college living and social development, the course was a background for his own philoso phy, touching as it did even his most intricate mathematics pre sentations upon how to get and hold a job or a husband, the joys to be found in solving diffi cult problems or in doing simple tasks, the close relationship of the planned universe and the plan ned life. Here thousands of young per sons listened with interest to tales of their school's early days, and as they heard the humorous de scription of restrictions placed upon courtship at the time when the women's dormitory was a frame dwelling on Court street they learned of the sacrifices of pioneer trustees, presidents and teachers. No hue and cry was ever raised on the campus for a new chapel by students who saw an cient Waller through the eyes and the stories of Professor Matthews. For many years Willis Hawley, later university president and eventually representative in con gress from this district. Miss Mary . Reynolds and Professor Mat thews were not only principal fac ulty members but self-appointed janitors as well, waiting months and sometimes years for their sal aries, it was recalled here Thurs day night Of the trio, Miss Rey nolds, who makes her home at 980 Market street, survives. Although most of his under graduate and much of his gradu ate training was in the same in stitution, a system of education frowned upon today, Professor Matthews was considered out standing in his field. At the in stigation of one of his former stu dents who earned wide recogni tion as a mathematician and teacher, he for two years taught in Stanford's summer school. The master's degree he earned by sum mer studies, which he never dropped, and the doctorate was awarded as an honorarium to him only recently by - the university he had served the- greater part' of his life. The story of 50 years at Will amette he told graphically, and wittily in "Turn Right for Para dise," published this sorina and to date available o&ly through the university's loyalty endowment office. Funeral services for the man whose senior chapel addresses and freshman glee announcements were part of Willamette's trad! tion have been tentatively ar ranged for 2 o'clock Sunday af ternoon at the First Methodist church. Survivors, in addition to the brother and sister, include sons, Oliver Matthews of Salem and Donald Matthews of Portland, grandchildren, James T, Mat thews and Ruth Matthews of Portland, the latter a Willamette junior.

That damage, inflicted by four bombers and about 15 fighter planes in a 15-minute attack, was described as "not extensive" and conditions quickly returned to normal. The situation at Dutch Harbor is at present quiet," the navy an nounced. "Yesterday's first raid by the Japanese appears to have been made primarily to test our defenses. High explosives and in cendiary bombs were dropped but, as previously announced, our casualties were light and damage was not extensive.

"The source of the attacking Japanese aircraft has not been definitely determined but they are thought to have been carrier based." Anthony J. Dimond, the Alas kan delegate to congress, said he feared that "we may have a strug gle on our hands" to keep the Aleutian area out of Japanese hands. He was afraid, he added, that there were not enough planes in the area to beat off a big scale invasion of the type by which the Japs took the Philippines and other territories to the south. However, Rear Admiral C. S. Freeman, commandant of the 13th naval district said at Seattle Wed nesday that the "attack was not surprise and the station was prepared to meet it." Judge Rejects Final Account Of Executor Rejecting the final account of the Pioneer Trust company as executor of the estate of the late George E. Waters, Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan on Thursday di rected the corporation to pay to the estate $8485.63 which his or der declares it has paid itself as fees. "The record in this case shows that the executor corporation paid to itself the sum of $1000 on March 31, 1941, although it was not appointed executor until No vember 6, 140; that on June 14, 1941, it paid itself the additional sum of $3242.84, or in all, $4242. 84, although the final account was not filed until April 7, 1942, and. the estate is not yet closed. This court knows of no law by which those sums could have been taken from the estate in advance of final settlement. The record fur ther discloses that the total of the executor's payment to itself for services of itself and extra ordinary claimed expenses, is $8485.68, a sum so grossly in excess of the value of the serv es performed that this could not be justified in approving the final account," McMahan's or der, in part, reads. The question as to whether a corporate trust company has legal authority to charge the estate the statutory commission prescribed by law for the settlement of es tates by persons is raised by Mc Mahan, who points out that the law is silent on that matter but that "it is a rule of law that a trust company, in the absence of an agreement as to the price to be paid for its services, is en titled only to such pay as will reasonably compensate it for the services rendered." - Criticism is also leveled at the company in the charge that It paid itself for insurance of the estate property in the sum of $12.60, to which allegation is affixed the statement in the judge's order "The law does not allow this to be done."

Implying that the better part of a division may have perished aboard the transport, allied head quarters said all aboard probably were lost and added: "The Jap anese are notorious for overload ing troop transports. It is known that they put more than 12,000 soldiers on some 6000-ton ships." It was indicated that the sub marine had made its raid well beyond Australian waters, some where on the seas between Japan's numerous southwest Pacific bases. The news had a tonic effect on Australians, who had been sobered earlier Friday by Jap anese submarine attacks on southeast coastal shipping, hard on the heels of the enemy's mid night submarine stab into Syd ney harbor. By The Associated Press Six more allied vessels were reported sunk Thursday and a senate naval affairs subcommittee declared public hearings might be held in its investigation of the navy's campaign against axis un dersea raiders. Of the six vessels destroyed, three were American ships. With the loss of two Ameri can merchant ships and one small patrol boat officially an nounced by the navy In the At lantic and Caribbean areas, Committee Chairman Ellender (D-La) asserted at Washington that naval officers might be called in a public hearing. Five of the ships reported lost Thursday were in the Atlantic, one in the Pacific. United Nations shipping losses in the Atlantic rose to an an nounced 17 in the last five days and the total cost off the North and South American coasts reached 243 since the US entered the war. At the same time, Japanese sub marines sank a small allied cargo vessel off the east coast of Aus tralia. The two United States merchant vessels, one medium-sized and the other small, whose sinking was announced Friday, were torpedoed in the Caribbean area. The entire crew of 35 survived the other Caribbean sinking.
