Small Nations
Voice Demands
Through Dutch
;3 LONDON, Feb. 8 P"-
I posals for strengtnentng tne po
,! sition of smaller nations in apro-
' Jected world security league were
K believed tonight, to be under dls
f' cussion by the big three after the
! Dutch government challenged the
right of big nations to Judge all
! charges against themselves. -,-
Voicing objections, to a Soviet
proposal- to enforce a unanimity
? rule among five .permanent mem-
- bers of a security council, the
: j Dutch were regarded as expressing
: i views similar to those held by
.ether small nations.
Whether the Dutch stand would
( have any weight with the big three
was a Question that could be
:' answered only after conclusion of
the current talks among President
' Roosevelt, Prime Minister Church
' ' ill and Premier Stalin, when they
" ere. expected to disclose plans to
secure world peace.
A reliable source disclosed that
' the Dutch government had dis
: ; patched a 6000-word document to
' '" the big three before their Black
sea area meeting, hinting that the
K AthAflnrla WnietTIT nACITQTA IH lOITl
World security organization if the
' Russian, plan was adopted. ,
r- Although the Dutch cabinet re
' signed today shortly of ter its state
' j ment became known, the two de
velopments were not linked, and
- the Dutch position on the security
'issue apparently remained un
changed. - ,-- ' !
Dutch Cabinet
;To Be Formed
: LONDON, Feb. The
Dutch cabinet resigned today and
Queen Wilhelmina immediately
. a-tfced Premier Pieter Gerbrandy
', to form a new government broad
ened to include leaders of . the
aati-nazi resistance movement.
Gerbrandy asked for time to
consider' whether he could under
take the mandate, which would
involve settlement of several in-
. ternal conflicts.
The government issued a state
ment noting that the southern
Netherlands had been liberated
- since June 19, but that northern
portions of the country still were
in German hands.
Assault Fails
ROME, Feb. 8.-(;p)-Prospects of
driving, the Germans from their
strong defensive positions in the
mountains south of Bologna be
fore spring faded abruptly today
with the official announcement
that a three-day attack by the US
Fifth army in that area had been
halted.
The. Americans, after gaining up
to 600 yards, ran into withering
fire from nazi machinegun nests
on Orbega ridge, nine miles south
east of Bologna, and were forced
to dig in and resist fierce enemy
counterattacks, the headquarters
report said.

ONtheHOME FRONT
By ISABEL GHUDS
To those persons who wonder
how down through the centuries
the Chinese have conquered their
conquerors, I cite the wisdom of
my friend, Yee Sing.
V
Now, so far as I can recollect,
Salem never ate sukJyaki, that
dish of succulent young vegeta
bles and fresh meat (unless it was
at Ben's) until the Sukiyaki house
was opened on North Commer
cial street.
About that time, I think, Mr.
Yee and his partner of the mo
ment put the dish on the menu of
the 'Chinese Tea Garden. We
Scotch and Jews may learn some
small matters of business from the
canny Chinese.
Though the Sukiyaki house has
been closed for years now, and
the menus at Yee Sing's are def
initely a wartime job of printing,
the Japanese dish still appears at
the bottom of the list, two varie
ties of it, I believe, and all who
want such food are told it may be
obtained there.
. -v-
''Do people still order it?" we
isked the Garden's proprietor. He
shrugged, smiled and intimated
that some who do not know who
nationally invented and marketed
the meal do ask for sukiyaki But
he added, and his merry brown
face was creased with lines of
laughter, ."Tell um all same's
chop suey!"

Salem Backwaters Recede j
As Flood Damage Mounts
From Torrential Rains
Rains of the past few days were
still causing damage Thursday in
some sections of the county but
the situation in Salem was in the
clear as far as further damage
from backwater was concerned.
City Engineer J. Harold Davis
announced. !
Mrs. Ralph Stanley who lives on
the south side of the Marion-Linn
county bridge phoned county judge
Grant Murphy Thursday afternoon
and said the flood waters there
were higher and more damaging
than the waters j jof the 1942-43
flood, j One bridge was washed
away, ( one road badly damaged
and, farm lands seriously dam
aged, she reported. She also said
all families living in the area,
several in number, Were ma
rooned and had no means of
reaching solid highway.
The point involved in the flood
is the same which was visited last
Thursday by Judge Murphy and
two army engineers. The engi
neers propose to start a project
there in the near future, informing
the judge after inspection, that
some remedial Work must be done
at once to prevent the river from
eating! its. way , through a section
of land and into a new channel
which would scour many, acres of
fine farm lands.
The Smith brothers, ranchers on
McKee road between Woodburn
h. II
Wliere M
and ML Angel, reported a' heavy
drift of logs and brush in the
Pudding river was threatening a
private drainage project j which
they are developing. According to
advices given the 'county j court,
the farmer on whose farm the drift
has accumulated, doesn't want it
released for fear of damage to his
land by the increased current
which would follow. j- ,
In Salem, where Wednesday the
main storm s e w e r on Norway
street became . stopped, workmen
Thursday were prepared to han
dle almost any normal flood by
pumping from one side ot the
stoppage to the other, City Engi
neer Davis said. "The situation
Wednesday was even more critical
than I cared to admit, Davis
said, "because that stopped main
was designed to carry part of the
flow of another. When it stopped
up the plan worked in reverse
and some water from the big one
began crowding the smaller one.
We have it whipped now and will
continue to free the big main of
the root intrusions. .
