I, In the first hint of the military Strategy dictated in the northern Solomons invasion. General Mac Arthur's headquarters announced that paratroop marines who went shore from ships October 28 on ChoiseuL southeast of Bougain ville, now have been withdrawn Inasmuch as they , were only in tended to divert the enemy from ihe impending operations at Em press Augusta, U However, it appeared that the Americans and New Zealanders ; who landed October 27 on Treas ! ury island, 30 miles south of Bou gainville, intend to remain. To day's communique told of light enemy air raids there. A The securing of the Bougain ville beachhead meant definite failure ef the Japanese te pinch It eff by patting several hnn I'dred troops ashore from barges the north end to exert a squeeze with the help of ether Japanese bypassed to the south. 1 General MacArthur's spokes man said the Americans now are firmly in the rear of Japanese po sitions at Buin on Bougainville's south shore and in the nearby Sbortlands. The secured beach head also places the Americans directly athwart the Japanese line of supply to the Buin-Shortland area, he pointed out. ( Today's communique told of new air attacks on Rabaul, 260 miles .northwest of Empress Au gusta, during which an air tor pedo hit probably was scored on a cruiser in Keravia bay. During " other raids this month there, one heavy cruiser has been sunk, five heavy cruisers and two light cruis ers damaged and another cruiser js w wa-w it-m- in The communique also . reported the sulking of a Japanese de stroyer off Kavieng, New Ireland, by a four-engined reconnaissance bomber at night 7 The latest attacks on Rabaul also were made at night by limit ed groups. First medium bombers raided the Rapopo airdrome and scored the probable hit on the cruiser. Later Liberators struck at LakunaL another of Ra haul's five airfields, causing fires which could be seen for 50 miles. Jap anese night fighters intercepted and one Liberator is missing. 'The communique also told of a 22-ton raid by Liberators on Soer- sbaja, Java, entailing a roundtrip j flight of more than 2000 miles from Australia.

On foot and in motorized groups, army representatives . set the pace at the head of the line of march, bringing the parade past the reviewing stand and to its breakup place near the Doughboy statue exactly on schedule. Britain Gives US Billion In Lend-Eease B (Continued from Page 1) B "Are we renting airports to help defend England? Is it true that the British charge up to re verse lend-lease the repairs of old estates, publicly as well as privately owned, for use as bar racks for our troops?" Senator Mead (D-NY), one of the five senators who urged on their return from a world in spection tour that reverse lend lease be translated , into postwar assets for the United States, said he was satisfied "the British are willing to furnish without ques tion everything we ask for." House Majority Leader Me Cormack ef Massachusetts call ed the report a rood one and said It met "a lot of these lying, sniping rumors and attacks made en lend-lease." On the point of airports and barracks charged to reverse lend lease by ihe British, Mr. Roose velt said that included only new construction. "They do not include," his message said, such faculties made available to our armed forces where no out-of-pocket expendi tures have been made for their construction since our entry into the war." The president's break-down of British empire reverse lend-lease showed $871,000,000 coming from the United Kingdom, $196,000,000 from Australia, $51,000,000 from New Zealand and $59,900,000 from India. Canada has no lend-lease arrangement with the United States and pays cash for what ever it gets from this country. (On August 25, Mr. Roosevelt reported that lend-lease exports to the United Kingdom through June 30 aggregated $4,458,000, 000, and to China, India, Austra lia and New Zealand ),$1, 133,000, 000.) He said that reverse lend-lease from the British commonwealth currently was at the rate of about $1,250,000,000 annually, not tak ing into account the anticipated exports of raw materials and commodities for which arrange ments have been made and for which British shipping will be made available under lend-lease.

RAF Bombers Follow Up ; First Raid T D (Continued from Page 1) D city of Muenster, bombers of the Eighth air force shot down 10 en emy aircraft, while Thunderbolts and Lightnings running their in terference accounted for eight more. i A communique said four heavy bombers were missing from the Muenster operation, but gave few other details. iff ; Tonight, one ef the greatest radio "blackouts" ef the war blanketed the continent. The German radio shot down along with, many others, suggesting a new and mighty RAF operation. The British air force last night '. used one of its greatest forma : tions in the raid en the Mont Cenis tunnel, which the Ger mans only recently opened to military traffic after a devastat ing British raid October 1. In the attack on the Italian bor der tunnels the British and Am ericans worked together to devel op a coordinated pincers blow. "We swooped down on the tar get like a pack of wolves and be fore long the valley was full of fire," said a pilot who participat ed in the assault on Modane. The Vinchy French radio said Annecy, a textile and glass center in France 20 miles below Geneva, Switzerland, was attacked this afternoon. St. Raphael, 15 miles southwest of Cannes on the Medi terranean coast, and Briancon, 100 miles north of Cannes, also were bombed, said the broadcast re corded by the Associated Press. The location of these object ives su nested they probably were targets of the newly formed American 15th air force operating from Mediterranean bases. This force dally has been extending its range into south ern Europe. A railway viaduct at St. Raphael on the route into Italy previously had been hit by a secondary force in the BAFi first attack on Modane September 18. "Just like pouring water down a funnel," one RAF pilot said in describing the 1200-mile round trip to .blast rail installations at the, Modane entrance to the seven-mile-long Mont Cenis tunnel through the Alps. "As we left the target three big explosions fol lowed one another, and it ap peared we hit an ammunition train." The RAF used one of the larg est forces ever sent so far south in this concerted strategy of dry ing up German supplies and rein forcements streaming into embat tled Italy. The bombers were pre ceded by a pathfinder force which dropped flares to light brilliantly a target already etched in bright moonlight. Britain to Have Reconstruction Committee By E. C DANIEL LONDON, Friday, Nov. 12-iP) Prime Minister Churchill has cre ated a ministry of reconstruction with the task of rebuilding Brit ain after the peace, it was an nounced today. Lord Woolton has been shifted from the food minis try to direct the vast program. Lord Woolton. a self - made business baron whose administra tion of Britain's war - time food rationing has been one of the out standing successes of Churchill's government, will be reconstruc tion minister and have supreme control of the rebuilding program and a degree of authority not be fore given a member of the gov ernment. The man who taught Britons to eat dried eggs with a smile and to accept a concoction of carrots and vegetables known as "Woolton pie" will have a seat in the war cabinet as a result of the shift. Creation of this over-all re construction post, which had been forecast for several years, is Churchill's answer to long - con tinuing criticism that he was ne glecting postwar planning. - The selection of Woolton was a political surprise but it was almost certain to receive public applause.

' f Evcrytc3y Sponsored by Capital Post ONtheHOMEFRONT By ISABEL CHHJD3 ; Not for the old-time wardogs but as a benefit for "Dogs of War," the Salem lions club plans to serve' as sponsor again for a dog show at the Salem armory Sun day, November 28. n' V Now there may be those of you who believe that lions and dogs should not be mentioned in , the same breath. t" - F Once I, too, felt that way. Then X met a little lion that was being reared In the same household with a dog and I learn ed they were fast friends. Lion Harry Wlllett and Lion R. Kv. "Joe" Land are finding the drug store and the office equip ment businesses so stiff in war time that they might welcome life even in the doghouse. Anyhow, they haven't given up their liking for man's best friend, so they are chairmen of the com mittee on the dog show. Herman Johnston, Dr. Daniel Schulze, Edward Majek and Doug las Y eater (all those names should rightfully be prefixed by the word "Lion" but getting the name of the organization too close to that of Dean Schulze might turn thoughts from doghouses to the lions' den of Biblical - fame) anyhow the aforementioned mem bers in good standing of the Sa lem club are captains. Whether they are captains of lion teams or dog teams, the lions bulletin does not say. The ones of the group I know best might well be said to be captains of their own souls and anyone who can manage a soul should do all right with a mere handful of lions or a kennelful of dogs, particularly when the dogs are the high class varieties the club's annual show has always brought to Salem. Eden Declares Moscow Parley Reassuring F (Continued from Page 1) F ped at Moscow, Eden emphasized, and there was a "useful ex change of views" also on econo mic questions. "I am not going to pretend for a moment," he added, "that we agreed on every point. That would be the international millenium. But we do know now each other's point of view on all these sub jects." . . Eden did not mention specif ically the b anting question ef Polish-Russian relations, bat the stnbborness ef this problem was again Indicated today when the deputy prime minister of the Polish government-in-exile, Stanislaw Mikolajexyk, declared his government's desire to col laborate with Soviet Russia bat renewed Its proposal for a post war federation of European states which authoritative sov iet sources have condemned as "anti-soviet" Mikolajczyk, who addressed a luncheon commemorating the 25th anniversary of Poland's indepen dence, said that Europe must be protected from "Germany's eco nomic hegemony because it in evitably will lead to her political domination. Indirectly a d d r easing the French and Poles, disappointed over the non-inclusion of France and Poland in -the Moscow talks, Eden denied that the three pow ers aimed to dominate others, but added: "The truth must be faced that it is upon these three powers prin cipally that will lie the responsi bility for ensuring that this war is followed by a lasting peace."

American Legion Allies Attack Mignano; Nazis Destroy Ports C (Continued from Page 1) C barrier to ihe Po valley in north ern Italy. ... ,...,:.. Leghorn, ' largest port between Naples and Genoa, .is nearly 200 miles up the western Italian coast from the - present fighting front, while Pescara is some 25 miles up the Adriatic coast from the. Eighth army's position along the Sangro river. V-iTv The demolitions demonstrat ed either that the muds . have very little faith in their present "winter line" or have active fears that allied amphibious op erations will take them from the rear and split their Italian forces. Photographs showed the Ger mans had scuttled the obsolete Italian cruiser "Quacto" and sev eral merchant ships in the en trance to Leghorn harbor, ef fectively blocking' the big port. At Pescara the enemy has destroyed one quay by blasting and has prepared another for similar de molition. Destruction at both ports resembled that done at Naples by the retreating nazis. While Lt. Gen. Mark W.Clark's American Fifth army fighters clawed their way onto the heights near Mignano, Gen. Sir Bernard L. Montgomery's Eighth army pushed five miles through snow storms in the Apennines to cap ture Rionero, 10 miles : northeast of Isernia, and near the Adriatic pushed up to the south bank of the Sangro at numerous points. Casalanguida, 15 miles inland from the Adriatic, and Roccasi cura were taken in the advance. Other villages occupied in the al lied drive through the mountains were Colli at Volturno, Monta quila, Rinalli, Gaspari, Carpineto, Furchelli, Rio Nero and Prefalve. An allied communique empha sized that all advances were made in the face of extremely bad wea ther and against increasingly stiff German resistance. The Germans burned Rionero before evacuat ing to the British. Gen. Clark's Americans seised Meant Rotonde in hard fighting after they had broken np prep arations for another heavy nasi counterattack such as the nine that were thrown against them in that sector the previous day. Mortar and artillery fire broke up the nasi infantry concentra tions. Allied fighters and fighter bombers flew in the teeth of the weather to rake the enemy along the fighting front, concentrating on the Fifth army front in the vicinity of, Cassino and Frosinone, where r they attacked V bivouac area, gun positions, a radio sta tion and a 10 -car train. In the day's operations four enemy planes were destroyed and two al lied craft were missing. Fighter - bombers crossed the Adriatic to bomb and strafe tar gets along the Yugoslav coast. with American Mitchells bombing oQ tanks and destroying eight barges at Durazzo and scoring di rect hits on a 5,000-ton merchant ship at Split. In a night attack RAF Wellingtons exploded a gap in a railway viaduct at Recco, east of Genoa, and destroyed a lo comotive.

Lehman Hints Postwar Plan Of -Rationinfif By SIGR1D ARNE ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. ll.-iff) -The 'first implication here .that the United Nations relief and re habilitation administration will ask post war rationing was made tonight ty the new director-general, Herbert Thman, hi his ac ceptance speech. He said "We will certainly be confronted during the early sta ges after liberation with a critical world shortage of supplies. "One of the chief objectives of UNRRA must be to see that world supplies, so long as they are lim ited, are' equitably distributed among those who need them to maintain life, regardless of the economic position of the nations. "Until the critical shortage In supplies has disappeared, a care ful and a just and equitable dis tribution of essential commodities must be maintained if urgent needs are to be met and if we are to avoid an inflationary scramble in world markets which can only be ruinous to all nations." . Lehman was nominated for the director generalship by Dr. Tung fu F. Tsiang, Chinese delegate. The- former New York gover nor, as US director of foreign re lief and rehabilitation, directed initial relief work in North Africa and Sicily. Lehman's new position absorbed the old one. Fire Named Wartime Menace SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 11 JP) Half the fire fighting equipment is obsolete In every big Pacific coast city, and saboteurs could set fires which would do ' more damage than a dozen air raids. Jay W. Stevens, regional fire pro tection chief for the office of civilian defense said here. Stevens, after an inspection tour of west coast and inland cities, said in a statement that he found fire a greater menace than any other wartime hazard, including air raids. He paid tribute to auxiliary volunteer firemen as helping avert major catastropbies but said their numbers were insufficient to cope with an extensive outbreak of fires. If-J.

A' longer season for the hatch erymen of Oregon, made' possible by ' spreading ' the . dates for . pur chasing baby chicks and, poults, would be a benefit to the entire poultry industry, according to dis cussions at the annual fall meet ing of the Oregon Baby Chick association, held in Eugene re- cently, reports Noel L. - Bennion, extension poultry specialist. J ABennion led a panel; discussion on this subject, where many facts concerning early and late hatched chicks were brought out. It was generally agreed that there is . a definite place, for the production of birds grown from chicks other that those bought in the peak months of-March and April. One advantage of spreading the hatch-; ing season is that this would per mit producers of hatching eggs to invest more money in better breeding stock, as the returns would be larger. . i Attempt will be made by the industry to hold prices . within bounds ' by voluntary agreement and thus' avoid threatened price ceilings on hatching eggs, day-old chicks and poults. If prices get out of line such ceilings, with the attendant difficulties, are certain to follow, the association mem bers learned. . ' J The evening banquet was ar ranged as a surprise tribute tq H. E. Cosby, who has been con4 nected with the Oregon poultry industry for 24 years 17 as ex4 tension specialist at Oregon State college and seven in his present position as head of the poultry department.
