I assume that this was done to meet the competition of the low rates charged by Salem Dec- 3 trie.

The landing was preceded by an artillery bombardment from La buan island, seized by the Aussies early in their invasion of Borneo. The island is five miles west of the new beachhead. "Our ground forces now control the shores bordering , both en trances into the bay," the com munique said. Medium bombers supported the ground operations. Heavy bombers and fighters made another of their daily strikes in the Balikpapan area, where the Tokyo radio says, without allied confirmation, that an allied naval force has been operating for tev I eral days. The heavies dropped 150 tons of explosives on Balikpapan, Mang gar and nearby airfields.

Prior to Stewart's address, Pres ident Roy C. Harland Introduced W.f A. (Bill) ChitUck, member of the: Manila Rotary; club who was prisoner of the Japanese from Jam 6, 1942, until February 3. IMS, when, as Chittick told Ro- tarians, "Tanks , crashed through thef walls of Santa Tomas prison and! with the shouting of Filipinos the-: Americans are coming we knew our liberation was at hand." 'Many employes of the state haVe been in service 10, 25 and 35 years, attesting to j their loyalty," Stewart said, "and many employes in state jobs have worked until they died during ! their employ ment, some past the present 65 years retirement age. The new law j win give employes a chance to retire gracefully and also will open up an opportunity for the employment of returning service men; and women. ; "Veterans will have a five-point credit In examinations' for posts. If they have as much as 10 per cent disability they will be given a 10- point advantage. This will give them the edge in securing state work. . Under the retirement act em ployes contribute a portion of their salary which goes directly into their account The state matches this; contribution. If an employe decides to leave the state services, before he has been subject to pro visions of the law for 10 years he may draw out all of his contribu- lons, plus interest but he will not get! what the . state contributed. That remains In the fund. How ever, If an employe works past 10 years, or say 11 years, then he cannot draw any of his contribu tion. Instead, it is set up for him as a retirement fund at the of 65 and the state's contribution in this case also remains to the credit of the; employe.'

Adv. by Salem Electric Auxiliary Power to Keep Commitments Held Needed" American foreign . policy has failed - 4tragicallyn in the past through, expanding our commit ments but contracting our power to enforce hem," Supreme Court Justice Jamoa T. Brand told . the Soiem Kiwanis club Tuesday, y Judge Brand, ' speakinj at the Marion hotel, declared the nation had three alternatives (1) con fine our interest and commerce to continental territory; (2) establish a defense imperialism, and (3) co operate with other . peace-loving nations. JThe first alternative he regarded as entirely impracticable, and-world peace was declared an impossibility "until nations get over the bogey-manfear of sur rendering some of their sovereing- ty" and until there is established a "regime of law among all coun tries. I . .. f . 3 ( The justice said the crisis was "in the immediate future," and that it was "time to put the pres sure on the UJS. senate to accept whatever! we. can get" fin the way of a world peace program, and not allow any plans to be "talked or boondoggled to death." ' n, f Brand cited the pact guaranteeing the open door policy in China and the converse agreement to limit our navy and refrain from forti fying island bases. Peace, Judge Brand declared, is not an all-inclusive term, in that America wants peace but only with the; conditions of security, liberty, justice andN opportunity. He declared that isolation now was as dead as a mackerel," and that "no nation on earth can se cure; peace alone I w 1 J 6rry aVJCr .
