Reaching into nearly every Oregon county and into many
walks of life, Governor Snell this week has selected seventy-five
state leaders to serve on the general "state-wide Keep Oregon

valuable forest lands.

"This year we must keep smoke
from our skies, the governor stat
ed as he picked .the men and wo
men on-whose shoulders will fall
the responsibility of reducing
man-caused forest fires to the ze
ro point. "Smoke from forest fires
would make an ideal smoke screen
to cover enemy attack on our
state, 'and would likewise keep
our eyes of -th air force from re
connaissance. Heading , the all-important nine
man executive or governing com
mittee of Keep Oregon Green is
Edmund Hayes, Portland lumber

sibility for directing the KOG

Eye New Tax
Compromise
WASHINGTON, May, 22-tfV
Stfll deadlocked on fundamental
Issues, members of a senate-house

urday' night a compromise propos
al to abate the first $50 of tax and
73 per cent of all over that amount
in' putting the nation's taxpayers
On a pay-as-you-go basis.
Variously j explained by mem

would, free from 1942 obligations
approximately 7,000,000 persons
who became federal income tax
payers for the . first time under
lowered exemptions put into effect
last yean All other taxpayers
would, deduct $50 from their 1942
tax debt and pay 25 per : cent of

leg and a broken arm. The crawl
ing was down a hillside on which
he had to support himself on the
broken arm. It is one of the things
a man is not supposed to be able
to do but the sergeant is in the
hospital tonight. '
Nips Chased '
For myself, today consisted of
watching thd details of a., war
through field glasses or occasion
ally with, the naked eye. The long
est detail was the chase1! of three
Japanese soldiers' across a valley
floor by a couple of squadrons of
Americans. The entire drama was
played out in a full ; view of a
group on a hiH,t where we sat in
he doorway of an abandoned Jap
anese dugout a grass mat on the
floor,' ' an empty bottle .labeled
"Wakamoto in a corner and
were safe except for an occasion
al sniper's bullet - buzzing - over
head. '
- The chase began at the left of
the valley where an American pa
trol - scared up the two J apanese,
perhaps snipers, muchr-as rabbit
hunters might scare up a cottontail-out
of a brush pile. The Jap
anese had a nice; lead, and ' dur
ing much of the ' chase were be
hind rises' which hid - them from
the pursuing Americans, who had
to breast each hillock with ex
treme caution for fear of ambush.'
Some ' Ambushes ; V
As a matter of fact,' there were
some ambushes. The Japanese, one
carrying a pack, moved easily, al
most casually across the plain,
stopping' now and then behind a
little cover to fire . two or three
times at the leading pursuers. For
a long time, perhaps an hour, the
chase went . on. ." To an unpreju- J
diced observer, ; the " Americans
would have looked quite silly," so
many of them chasing so few.
' One , American . went down and
did not get up. We had no way of
telling ' whether he was wounded
or dead.: Then one of the pursu
ers came over a rise at the right
moment, dropped to .a knee and
fired. The last of the enemy fell,
arms flailing in the air. The other
two did not even look around, in
stead kept : moving at the half
running, half-walking pace,-diagonally
across the plain toward the
foot of the passes still - controlled
by their machine guns.
In the end, they came too close
to the right side of the American
line. A heavy machine gun below
us' and out of sight under the brow
of the hill talked . rapidly. Both
went down, did not get up again,
The chase was overw - :

to every American actively or
