Ten Busses
Operated by
Camp Clubs
Ten club public busses are now
serving between Salem and Camp
Adair with passenger room to
spare, Clay C. Cochran, business
and extension manager of the
Salem chamber of commerce,
said Monday afternoon.
The chamber's transport com
mittee has assurance that as many
as seven more busses may be
added to1 the club service as re
quired, Cochran declared. All of
the club busses are units leased
from the McClean Transportation
company, operator of the Salem
school bus lines.
The first club bus leaves from
in front of the chamber of com
merce on North Liberty street at
6 a. m. and goes to Camp Adair
by way of Liberty and the Buena
Vista ferry, to the Four-Builders
construction unit. At 6:30 three
more, one bound for the Strong
& MacDonald and Kern & Kibbe
contracts, one for National Build
ers and Halvorsen and the third
for Four-Builders and Moore &
Roberts, leave from in front of
the chamber and enter the camp
at the west gate. The fifth club
bus, leaving the chamber at 7:30,
goes to the Adair administration
building.
Three other busses are operat
ed on the club plan leaving the
Marion hotel at 6:45, by the Rush
light company, one of the can
tonment contractors.
The Wood & Hart public bus,
going to Adair by way of Inde
pendence, leaves the stage ter
minal in the Senator hotel build
ing at 6:40 a. m. and an Oregon
Motor Stages bus, traveling the
Rickreall-Monmouth route, at
6:45.
Evacuation to
Be Watched
It is of, vital importance that no
hysterical attempts at evacuation
from communities be permitted,
In event bombs are dropped on
Oregon cities, Jerrold Owen, state
civilian defense coordinator, de
clared here Monday.
Owen said county defense coun
cils are directed to keep their
auxiliary police and air raid war
dens on duty not only for the full
duration of the raid but long
enough after the "all clear" sig
nals sound to prevent panic
stricken mass movements which
might impede the efficient opera
tion of military forces and civilian
protection agences.

Tire Supply
Figures
Learned
There will be no tires avail
able for ordinary civilian use for
the duration of the war, John L.
Rogers, office of defense trans
portation, told R. H. Baldock,
Oregon state highway engineer,
and other northwest officials, at
a conference in Seattle last Fri
day. Baldock said other federal of
ficials at the meeting agreed with
Rogers' statement.
Figures were presented showing
that the crude rubber stock now
on hand aggregates 700,000 tons
with reclaimed rubber stock avail
able from old tires estimated at
350,000 tons. In addition guayule
rubber from the desert will bring
in 5000 tons annually for the next
three years, rubber from Brazil
from 20,000 to 40,000 tons and
140,000 tons from Ceylon, India
and West Africa, provided the al
lied nations can hold the territory
and maintain the sea lanes.
Rogers' said the total possible
annual supply of crude rubber,
after the present stock pile is ex
hausted, will be about 175,000
tons annually. The territory now
controlled by the axis produced
1,500,000 tons of rubber or 90 per
cent of the world's supply. The
United States, in the past, has
used about one-half of this supply-
"During the next three years,"
Rogers said, "the United States
will need 2,500,000 tons of rubber
and will, therefore, be short ap
proximately 1,000,000 tons unless
the nation can produce rubber
synthetically."

PEARL HARBOR, TH-()-Go-
Get'em McCluskey they call Lieut
Comdr. Clarence W. McCluskey,
of Buffalo, NY, upon whom -Ad
miral Chester W. Nimitz, commander-in-chief
of the Pacific
fleet, pinned the distinguished fly
ing cross.
The award was made for Mc-
Cluskey's feat in leading a croup
of fighter planes in beating off
a Japanese bomber attack on an
aircraft carrier during a raid by
the United States navy on the
Gilbert and Marshall islands.
Over the radio circuit" between
plane and ship went this terse
command:
"There is a four-motor job
up there about to make a run.
Go get 'em McCluskey."
McCluskey replied: "Aye, aye,
captain.
Then he pulled out of formation
and approached the bomber from
the rear. The bomber, realizing
the vulnerability of a tail attack,
headed for the clouds.
Ship observers saw both planes
enter a cloud which concealed
the terrific sky conflict.
First, piece of tail assembly
dropped out. Then part of a
wing section appeared. After it
came sundry parts of wreck
age. Smoke billowed around the
edges of the cloud.
There were several seconds of
anxiety. Had the planes collided?
Which plane exploded? Did the
explosion get both planes?
Came the answer.
Out of one side of the cloud,
cocky as a Scottie just having
given a mastiff the thrashing of
its life, shot McCluskey.
Then came the chortling
voice:
"I got I got him good, by
God, fellows. I shot his tail off."
"Nice going McCluskey," re
plied the squadron commander.
