Effort Impressive
In Finance, Output
r Plans Now Laid
i Hold Promise of
r Progress in 1945
; By The Associated Press ,
I Oregon looked approvingly over
Its 1944 wax effort today, and
peered ahead toward glimmering
hints of a return to peace!
Promises of post-war develop
ment popped up through the yean
$409,216,877 worth of projects
submitted to the state post-war
planning commission; snowball
ing plans for veterans; a new
power record at Bonneville; ap
proval qf an aluminum-from-clay
plant at1 Salem, an alcohol-from-wood
p 1 a n t at Springfield, an
electrometallurgical laboratory at
Albany. S
f Oregon's war work stacked up
impressively top state in meet
ing war loan quotas; a record
harvest garnered chiefly by pinch
hitting women and children and
5800 Mexican workers; 420 ves
sels turned out by Portland area
yards. There were but two ma
jor strikes.
The year brought several
"back - to - normal" signs. Camp
Adair, Camp Abbott, and Camp
.White all but closed up shop.
Lights went on again on the coast
Some firm returned to civilian
production; Japanese were author
ized to come back.
Forest fires burned a below
average total of 13,340 acres.
. -Traffic and other accidents took
the usual toll in violent deaths.
Campaign! for the 1944 gen
eral election gobbled up any of
the year's headlines. Oregon went
for Roosevelt for the fourth term
but voters chose an ill-republican
congressional delegation.
In the sports world, Ashland
high copped the state basketball
crown; Medford the football;
Portland came out second in the
Pacific Coast baseball league. Y
'44 War Year
anting
For America
- WASHINGTON, Dec. 30
American officialdom is winding
up 1944 acutely conscious that for
the United States this has been
in many respects the most dis
appointing and disillusioning year
of the war.
Unjustified optimism about mil
itary progress led them to' be
lieve when this 12 months starts
that by tonight the war in Eu
rope would be won and the shift
of forces to the Pacific well start
ed. I
Now estimates of the date for
victory In Europe run into', the
fall or winter of v 1945. Optimism
has given way to the conviction
that the Germans really mean to
fight all the way to Berlin.
. Perhaps the basic error in mili
tary thinking, allied as well as
American, has been to underesti
mate the enemy's determination.
It was believed that when he was
surrounded and battered by land
and air he would surrender. A
tremendous series of victories
east, south and west, lightened
the ring around Hitler's fortress
Europe but fell so short of break
ing Germany that the enemy was
able to" wind up the year ; with
western front; offensive which
' probably added months to the
-war. . -. t
-Matching the toocheerful view
j of military progress has been pop-
ular belief fostered by cheery of
ficial statementsthat politically
the great allied powers were in
accord on most or all great issues.
InHtact, little accord has been ob
tained. Hence recurrent outbursts
of mutual criticisms and suspi
cions among the United States,
Britain and Russia - '
