Page Twe' THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Eugene Supplies Defense 'Juice' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) energy which the Leaburg and Walterville plant can make. The municipal power plant ex pects to continue to deliver all available dump power during the next three or four months. Al though local demands, increasing as laii approaches, will cut down the total- that can be sent, ap proximately 8,000,000 kilowatt hours will probably be delivered by fall. Bonneville does not pay for the energy immediately, since it it considered part of the 15,000,000 kilowatt hour "pool" of dump power. If the total should ex ceed that amount, the city power system would be paid at the rate of V4 cent per kilowatt hour. The 2.500.000 kilowatt hours already in the pool are available for Eugene to draw against. They represent a value of more than $6,000. Although the balance is far in favor of Eugene, the city system has used Bonneville power to a greater or lesser degree each month since December, 1940. The month-by-month use of energy has been: December 136.580 kilo watt hours: January, 83.000: Feb With The Army On Maneuvers (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Chief trouble came however when the trucks rumbled past the Sacred Heart hospital on their assigned route out of the city. It was "con- foosin' but not amoosin' " to doc tors and nurses who attempted to calm their patients! Needless to say, the trucks' route was changed from Hilyard to Mill street Mon day. The army's M. P. military po lice -save an efficient demonstra tion in keeping Saturday night's street dance orderly and in round' ing up the soldiers at 11 p. m. The soldier police were stationed even in the center of the street among the dancers and made regular pa trols up and down the aisles of restaurants, soft drink counters, etc. Two soldiers were disappointed in trying to strike up an acquain tance with three Eugene lassies following the dance when along came two M. P.'s In their patrol jeep." The soldier boys ducked down an alley but not fast enought for the police who quickly chased after them and "escorted" them back to camp.

This service has cost the water board approximately $12,000. The major portion of the cost has been the "retainer fee" of 75 certts per kilowatt Of demand, for 1,500 kilowatts of "prime power." This is under the special one year contract which was negoti ated last December, and which will expire December 6, 1941. Under it B6nneville guarantees t6 supply Eugene with 1,500 kilo watts of power on call. The availability of this "prime" power gives the municipal System added standby protection in case of emergency.

Seemingly not daunted by the 20 miles they hiked on to wards the highway. The men's swimming pool at the University was just like the "or swimmin' hole" Sunday night as nearly 600 boys took advantage of the offer to cool off. Harry T. Shea, supervisor of the pool, said "the boys looked at me as though I was telling them a fairy story when I told them to jump in." "Where do you get all the good- looking girls?" one soldier was heard to remark as he watched the street dance Saturday night. Most popular movie in town was Bob Hope in "Caught in the Draft", for many of the soldiers were in the same predicament. Several soldiers declared they had volun teered to "get their year over" when they knew they would soon be drafted. British Claim Bomb Raids Hinder Nazis LONDON, July 7 British bombers pounded German - oc cupied France twice today in a continuation of an air offensive which a reliable observer said has jammed German communications on a deep arc from Brest to Kiel and softened German defenses along a thousand miles of the con tinental coast. He credited the repeated at tacks with: 1. Hampering German personnel and material movement, this also weakening the German drive into Russia; 2. Slowing production of Ger man armament, oil and other war supplies. 3. Smashing facilities the Ger mans need to invade Britain; 4. Smoothing the way, if Brit ain sends an expeditionary force to the continent. whether they would be supple mented by troops. Mr. Roosevelt did not indicate, either," whether similar action might be taken against other pos sible stepping off points for a possible German attack on th western hemisphere. Dangers Pointed Out But he has spoken of dangers which might be Inherent in any nazi control of such points as Da kar on the west coast of Africa and of the Cape Verde and Azores islands, which are Portuguese, and the Canary Islands, which are Spanish. Along with his message to con gress, Mr. Roosevelt sent to capi tal hall the text of the letters ex changed between himself and the prime minister of Iceland. Mr. Roosevelt received a letter from the prime minister on July 1 and replied the same day. It was in line with an under standing reached in this exchange that the navy went into Iceland. . While the president has hesita ted to draw a definite boundary line for the western hemisphere, some administration officials have said that Iceland was outside of the western hemisphere. The line demarcation, as these sources out lined it, passed between Greenland and Iceland. British Free For War Now the United States for the first time has taken over the ac tual protective duties heretofore carried out by British troops. This will free the British for service elsewhere. Mr. Roosevelt declared it to b "imperative that the approaches between the Americas" and the strategic outpost in the Atlantic should remain open and free from all hostile activity or threats. The president said he consequ ently "issued orders to the navy that all necessary steps be taken to insure the safety of communica tions in the approaches between Iceland and the United States as well as on the seas between the United States and all other strate gic outposts." "This-government," Mr. Roose velt declared, "will insure the ade quate defense of Iceland with full recognition of the independence of Iceland as a sovereign state. "In my message to the prime minister of Iceland I have given the people of Iceland the assur ance that the American forces sent there would in no way interfere with the internal . and domestic affairs of that country, and that immediately upon the termination of the present international em ergency all American forces will be at once withdrawn, leaving the people of Iceland and their government in full and sovereign coniroj oi ineir own territory."

Russia Declares Million Nazis Taken (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) nazi columns had "broken" the btahn line presumably in the Ukraine sector. All "Buffer" Taken Claim ine ornciai German news agency said nazi troops in two weeks' fighting had captured nearly all the territory Russia ac quired since Sept. 1, 1939 includ ing the western Ukraine, western wmte Russia, Bessarabia, North. em Bucovina, Lithuania and Lat via. miogeiner, ine news agency said, the seized territory is larger than the Germany of the Treaty of Versailles or about 182,000 square nines. A Moscow bulletin said Russian Jefenders had driven the Germans back in five key sectors of the 2,-000-mile battle front The Soviet high command said Russian trooos had seiz h of fensive in heavy fighting from the oamc io me aiacic sea, smashing the Germans along the Berezina river and hurling back a nazi drive aimed at the north flank of the ciaim line. uno loniciaj German news agency) asserted German troops had "broken" the line, which runs 75 miles deep in some places. No details were given. Equally vague, the Berlin radio said German columns had pierced me line ac several points. Wooden Tanks? The Russians reported officially that the Germans were using wood-en-and-canvas tanks to pad out their panzer columns, described as seii-propeiiing and carrying ma chine guns. Red Army scouts, It was said, discovered the subterfuge when wey spoiiea a nazi tank column moving up to the front and with amazement that "th hAdv M unc ui uie aura unexpectedly gave hi uuuw me pressure oi tne elbow of an officer who leaned against In the column, the Russians said, only one of the 20 tanks was gen uine. The German high command said axis troops had captured Cernauti, capital of Sovietized Bucovina, in a drive toward the Russian Uk raine. Rumanian and Hungarian troons. allflM nf r. declared to have reached the up per Dnestr river in Bucovina, while in nearby Bessarabia, German-Rumanian forces were re ported "in a progressive advance" after repulsing Soviet counter attacks. Reds Claim Opposite By contrast, a Red armv bulle tin said that in the Bessarabian sector "the enemy, suffering very. heavy losses, was thrown back to his previous position." A Moscow communique, pro claiming success everywhere for the Red armies, declared heavy losses had blunted the German drive to the east, and that Ger man attempts to cross the Dnepr river near Bobruisk, on the cen tral front, had been repelled violently. Describing bitter fighting along a river apparently the Berezina a Soviet communique declared the Germans threw fresh reserves into the battle and "crossed to our shore at a cost of tremendous sacrifices." Counter-attacking with bayo nets, Russian troops "threw the German fascists back across the river, inflicting heavy casualties," the communique said. "The bodies of several thousand fascist soldiers remained On the field of battle, and many more perished In the river." Penetration Not Deep While conflicting versions of the 16-day-old struggle came from Moscow and Berlin, one thing seemed clear: Adolf Hitler's invasion armies. according to report edited by the nazi fuehrer himself, still were fighting mostly on the fringe of the vast Soviet hinterlands after battering through sovietized "buf fer" states. A German military commentator admitted franklv the Russians remained at their posts longer tnan tne French did in the 1940 campaign in the west. On the reported break at Rus sia's main defense works, the Ger mans maoe tnis announcement: 'Near the fortification system of the Stalin line, German troops have started to attack the Bunker line after successfully defeating soviet rearguard forces. "Several strongly fortified bun kers were captured, and the Stalin une was pierced at several places; The German troops continue their ; advance. "The bolshevist troops who have ' been dispersed in the sector of the 1 Pripet (Pinsk) marshes are hasti ly retreating toward the Stalin' line. Only small units of these I forces managed to reach sites of safe resistance, due to the advan cing German troops and the heavy aucKc or tne jjuitwaue." DNB (German news aeenrvl said nazi columns were lunging anead irom tne voinynia region, west of Kiev, the Ukraine caaitol. and driving the Russians before them. DNB said Red armv soldiers at tempted unsuccessfully to hold strongly-armed modern casemates after Soviet rearguard units had been crushed. On the far north front, the Ger. mans said Finnish troops "suc ceeded m encircling a whole soviet battalion after half of them had been killed in action." : Cavemen Booked For Pageant Ball Game 1 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Carnegie Institution Head To Dig in John Day Fossil Beds Bound for the John Day region in central Oregon, where for more than 40 years he has been keenly interested in what he declares is One of the greatest areas for revel ation of the story of life in the United States, Dr. John C. Mer riam, president emeritus of the Carnegie Institution, will leave here Tuesday. In company with Samuel H. Boardman, state parks superin tendent, Dr. Merriam will spend some time inspecting present and prospective park sites in this re gion. Several places of unusual interest to laymen and scientists have already been set aside for this purpose. Dr. Merriam plans to spend the entire summer in Oregon, and will make his headquarters at the Uni versity of Oregon and Oregon State college. As head of the Carnegie Institution for many years he has maintained a keen interest in the John Day fossil region, and has aided and en couraged several scientists in re search of various phases found there. It is the hope of Dr. Merriam that studies of various men, made during the past 40 years, and his own research findings, can be co ordinated into a complete docu ment on the John Day region, and that this may be made available in the near future. The John bay region, for four important reasons, presents one of the most important areas in the world for actually tracing the story of life on earth, Dr. Merriam points out. He cites as points: 1. The "story" is pretty well filled in. 2. The story of life is mixed in with vulcanism. 3. The "book" has been opened up by erosion brought about by the John Day river. 4. The region is easily accessible. Dr. Merriam plans to make ob servations and take photographs while on the present trip, and will make information he gathers available when he returns here in about two weeks.
