Term Views
By th AMCiated Press
The south . captured a : major
share of political interest in Wash
ington yesterday; while At Chicago
republican platform builders went
to work on a streamlined state
ment of party policy.
" Developments touching on the
southern democratic "revolt" in
cluded these: ! ' - .
N. 1. Gov. Ellis Arnall of Georgia
talked politics .with President
Roosevelt during a White-House
call which some democrats in con
gress regarded as a peace gesture
'1y the president Later Arnall told
reporters ha . thought Mr. Boos
.evelt would be a fourth term nom
inee Mand properly so. Georgia's
electoral vote will be pledged to
support the party's candidate, he
said, adding that this could be
taken as a rebuke to dissident de
mocrats in Texas, Mississippi,
South Carolina and elsewhere.
2. Ren. Sikes (D-Fla). who
termed the Roosevelt-Arnall con
ference a "peace move toward
southern democrats, told the house
that the threatened revolt in some
parts of the south was a "move
ment for political and economic
' recognition" and "the stirrings of
political independence in the
4 south." '
- "If Texas, Mississippi, Louis!
ana. South Carolina and the states
which Join them are able to con
Vince this nation,": Sikes , said,
"that the south is not necessarily
a voiceless, helpless appendage of
the democratic party, I shall per
sonally be very proud of-them.'
3. Fourth; term forces in Texas
suffered a setback when the state
supreme court upheld the regular
democratic- organization's selec
.lion of presidential electors in
convention. The electors were
left free not to support the party's
nominees if the national conven
. tion fails to meet certain demands.
Pro-Roosevelt forces bolted the
convention and sought an order
from the state supreme court for
selection of electors in a primary,
4. The American democratic na
tional committee began working
in Chicago to unite all anti-fourth
term democratic groups and to
hold a separate convention in the
south if the democrats renomi
nate President Roosevelt
9. John U. Barr, national chair
man of the draft-Byrd-for-presi
dent campaign, declared in
statement issued in Washington
that fourth term supporters are
trying to create "the false fan
pression that dissatisfaction with
the new deal's treatment of the
7" race problem is largely confined
to the south." Actually, he said,
It extendi throughout the coun
try, and moreover:
"Southern . democrats , along
with millions of good Americans
of both parties in other sections-
are deeply alarmed at the total!
tarian trend of the new deal and
are determined Id get rid of
before it is too late-

West of Perugia British forces
drove on Castiglione del Lago,
principal town on the western
shore of Lake Trasimeno. The vll
lages of Villa Strada and San
Fatucchio, southwest of the lake,
fell after sharp fighting; East of
the lake allied troops were re
ported within, three miles of the
town of Magione. ; : sT i
French troops, advancing on the
right flank of the, Fifth army,
cleared the Germans from several
more mountain -..villages in the
neighborhood of Huntenero. Here,
as at other points on th front,
the nazis were making heavy use
of artillery and, mortars to' slow
, the allied advance and employing
their -infantry, sparingly.-
An unofficial estimate from
Fifth army headquarters placed
the number of nazi dead, wound
ed and captured since the allied
offensive began six weeks ago at
between 80,000 and 100,000. The
enemy is known to have brought
. in elements of four new -divisions
since Rome fell, and one of these
already has been virtually de
stroyed. Finns Under

- STOCKHOLM, June 22-P)-The
' German minister in Helsinki was
- reported today ' to ' be : bringing
pressure Upon Finland to 'remain
' in the war against Russia, .stat
ing that German troops would re
fuse to leave Finnish territory in
event of a Russian-Finnish peace.
; This wport was carried by the
' Swedish 'newspaper Aftonbladat
( Aftonbladat is described by the
political handbook of the World
as non-partisan, with nazl ."ten
dencies.) The newspaper aba'said
" Moscow had "offered to end the

Eloquent as are the reasons of
other mothers for buying and urg
ing the purchase of war bonds, I
can imagine no one more inter
ested in what is happening today
both on the warfront and the home
front than a Chinese mother.

So the broadcast from bond
headquarters Saturday afternoon
at 12:43 should be particularCy in
teresting to mothers of men and
the men themselves. "
When Winifred Pettyjohn said
she would interview Mom Sing, I
shook : my head thoroughly and
asked ; her to repeat it. "Mom"
sounded a little Chinese but missed
the boat somehow. ' ".,

The "Mom" is j ust a good Amer-
can nickname for mother, and
Mom Sing is, formally speaking,
Mrs. Jung Sing, known to many
Salem folk. But she won't be
speaking formally Saturday if
she speaks from her heart there
should be real drama there.
Scout Heads
Set Up Trust
Fund System
Machinery for an operating
trust fund was set up and a bud;
get for 1945 approximately 30 per
cent greater than that' for the
current year was approved c by
Cascade Area council, Boy Scouts,
executive board at a . meeting
Thursday night in Salem.
.The budget figures $14,390 rep
resent an increase of about 15 per
cent over actual expenditures of
this year, while an increase of 86
per cent in Boy Scout membership
in the area has been made dur
ing the past eight months, scout
leaders said.
Half of the budget Is to be
raised outside of Salem.
In Salem proper there are more
scout units per 100 12-year-old
boys than in 98 per cent of the
headquarters cities of the United
States, W. H. Baillie, organization
chairman, told the 24 other men
attending the meeting from the
five districts in Linn, Marion and
Polk counties. r'"l: 4
A boy in' Salem has four times
as much opportunity to become a
Boy Scout as do boys over the
country as a whole, Baillie said.
Addition of 318 scouts will bring
the complement of boys in the or
ganization within the council
area to 2000. There are now 2118
boys and men in the work..
, Trustees for the new trust fund
are R. I Elfstrom, A. C Haag;
Ray Glatt of Woodburn, Roy Har

Final Assault
On Cherbourg
(Continued from page 1) :
for the eommunlqne said aCled
planes . "swarmed over north
western France from dawn to
midday to harass enemy rein
foreementa - mevinf westward -frem
the Paris area."
Such reinforcements, coming up
from 100 kilometers and more
from the beachhead, could be the
strategic reserves which the Ger
man command thus far has hesi
tated to commit to battle. They
could not now relieve. Cherbourg,
whose garrison is doomed and
dying.
As a vital prelude to the main
attack the Americans thrust north
ward on both sides of Cherbourg
and cut the coast roads, thus slic
ing into? three segments the re
malning! German footholds on the
north fringe of the Cherbourg
Peninsula. The bulk of an esti
mated 50,000 German4 troops and
workers was believed to be in
embattled Cherbourg, but for none
of the three groups was there any
possibility of escape.
Cherbourg already was canght
in a confused swirl ef close
aarter combat, with denghboys
and. tOermaiu : fighting throsgh
the saburban streets and houses.
But. there ; was no confusion
about the American onslaught,
which i started 1 with J stop-watch
precision, at exactly 12:40 p. m.
(:0 a.m 5WTK At that mom
ent American ..and . British 'dive-
bombers 'began, an 89 minute at
tack on the last ridge of forts and
pillboxes ringing the city.
, At exactly 2 pjn. they stopped,
and instantly, ntedhoa bombers
thundered down en the "r
German positiomv whQe massed
Amerieaa Artillery epesed up
with a gigantte, thundering bar
rage. ; Behind the line of shell and
bomb-bursts, American infantry
men leaped forward through the
battle haze that had reduced vis
ibility to less than a mile. The
target line was steadily lifted as
the doughboys advanced close be
hind the explosive curtain.
This, was the great assault to
destroy the last German resist
ance on the peninsula and win for
allied use the important seaport
of Cherbourg.
