Once a lending had been made, a corridor would be opened through Finland to Murmansk, Soviet Russia, cutting oft the Finnish port of Petsamo. Over this corridor troops and supplies could be moved to bolster the Red armies in the north, it was said. 3. Norwegians at home have been reported ready to rebel against the Germans at the first sign of outside help. The Ger mans would be unable to concen trate a large force against the invaders in the north, it was as serted, because it has been re ported garrisons have to be main tained now in every Norwegian hamlet and town. If the British have contem plated an invasion of the French coast, unofficial observers agree there have been no signs of it in London. Speaker Opposes Gas Tax Diversion SALEM, Aug. 21 M Efforts to divert or reduce state gasoline taxes were criticized today in a message sent by A. B. Tucker, Montgomery, Ala., president of the North American gasoline tax con ference, to the convention here of the Pacific group of the confer ence. "The gasoline -tax has brought bout the cheapest transportation the world has ever known. It is not a burden on the motorist, it is n Pasta o SUmpt Bllmp, PRICES ARE GOING IIP.

He appealed to the patriotism of the gasoline tax and oil company officials attending todays meet ing, but he admonished them that they should not permit the federal government "to weaken the sov ereignty of the states." Ballot Title Ready For Ex-Trainees' Compensation Tax SALEM, Aug. 21 OP) Ballot title for an initiative measure taxing corporation dividends five per cent to pay Jobless compensa tion to Oregon persons who do not have jobs alter discharge from military service was prepar ed by the attorney general today. The bill, filed by State Rep. E. C. Allen (D., Multnomah), would be on the November, 1942, ballot if enough signatures are obtained. WORK PROGRAM EYED ' PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 21 M A program to keep men at work after the present employment boom ends was being discussed here today by representatives of six northwest states. Under the direction of Robert W. Mead of San Francisco, direct or of the long-range planning pro ject for 11 western states, the men studied a six-year develop ment program under which an inventory of present and future needs of the states would be made. The purpose would be to create a reservoir of public works pro jects On which men would be employed. HOP CROP ESTIMATED SALEM. Aug. 21 M The nation's 1941 hop production will total' 42,193,000 pounds, Or two per cent less than the 1940 pro duction, C. W. Paulus, Salem, secretary of the hop ' control board, said today.

Even Reds Admit Second City in 'Dread Danger7 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) swift fall of Novgorod, also claim ed the capture of Narva, 81 miles southwest of Leningrad, and Kinglsepp, the rail gate to Lenin grad, 25 miles farther east This would place the Germans in that sector within 56 miles of Lenin grad. Strategic Town Seised In the critical battle of the Ukraine, the Germans reported units of the Waffen S.S. (elite guard) had seized the strategic town of Kherson, on the west bank of the lower Dnieper river, thereby virtually sealing Red army troops In the Odessa sector. DNB, the official German news agency, said nazi siege guns and Stuka dive-bombers were raining havoc on. Odessa, inflicting tre mendous losses on soviet troops awaiting embarkation on jammed quays. Great fires were reported raging in many parts of the city, . Amid this desperate plight of the Red armies in the Ukraine, unconfirmed reports circulated in European listening posts that the Russians had opened or blown up the great $100,000,000 Dnieper river dam, near Dnieperopetrovsk, in an attempt to stem the nazi on slaught. Built by American engineers, the dam is 200 feet high and was the world's largest hydro-electric plant before the construction of Boulder dam. Turkey Threatened An axis threat to Turkey and the Turkish . controlled Dardanelles was reported by foreign diplo matic sources In Ankara, These sources said advance units of two nazi army divisions had arrived in Bulgaria. Italian patrols had been scouting the Turkish-Greek border, and Italian garrisons on Greek islands near The Dardanelles had been strengthened. Besides claiming the capture of three key cities in the main Len ingrad defense ring, Hitler's high command announced th "crush ing defeat" and partial destruction of 25 Russian - divisions about 375,000 troops as well as two air-borne brigades in a great bat tle around Gomel, on the central front, midway between Smolensk and Kiev. The Germans said Red army prisoners taken in battle, origin ally listed at 78,000, had mounted to 84,000. The mention of air-born troops Indicated that the battle was the same ' one previously mentioned by the Soviet army newspaper, Red Star, which - said Russian counter-attacks supportedby aerial troops had blasted the Ger-. mans out of three defense lines and recaptured five towns in a 3-day conflict. .

THE REGISTER-GUARD, shaky defense line along the Dnieper between Dnieperope trovsk and Kherson, which lies 20 miles above the mouth Of the Dnieper. , In the critical battle of Lenin grad, Soviet Marshal Klementi Voroshilov admitted that the Ger mans were attacking the city's approaches and dramatically call ed on the inhabitants to fight to the death. "Stand firm to the end," he exhorted. "Death to, the bloody fascist German robbers!" Reports from Helsinki said Fin nish columns fighting on the Kare lian Isthmus had captured the towns of Viioksenranta and Rai sala, 85 .miles from Leningrad. The capital of old imperial Russia thus was under assault from three directions. Germans silent The Germans were strangely silent concerning developments in the Leningrad sector, but - an nounced a great victory at Gomel, on the central front south of Smolensk, in which they said 25 Russian divisions and two bri gades, of air-borne troops were partially destroyed. At least 78,000 Russian troops and vast quantities of war ma terial were claimed captured in this- battle, which apparently broadened the base of the Smo lensk salient and provided pro tection for the right flank of the nazi spearhead aimed at Moscow. Berlin observers said the re ported victory indicated the Ger mans had succeeded in establish ing bases for major operations east of the PInsk marshes, be tween Smolensk and Kiev, around which their lines previously had sagged dangerously to the west. In Britain, meanwhile, there were growing demands that the British army attempt to open a new front on the continent while the Germans are engaging with the Russians in the east. Norway and Italy were suggested by seme sources as the most likely points for an attack. There was little overnight action in the air war in the west. The British said a few German planes dropped bombs in East Anelia, but did little damage. The Germans acknowledged that Soviet bombers had entered northern Germany, but minimiz ed the results of these attacks and mentioned no British raids.

They were headed for th 9th corps command post. By the time they were a mile irom the post, every conceivable anti-tank weapon hid been as sembled In the road. The "tank" forces retired in confusion. A young amateur was reporting troop movements in his area when he suddenly broke in on the con versation with the exclamation: "Oh-oh! Here come three Reds (the invading army is red-hatted) across the yard." He has not been heard on the air since. One of the warning service sta tions is located within sight of an enemy command post, but has eS' caped detection. Military observ. ers are watching the development closely. Two privates from Port Ord, Calif., have been killed in truck accidents in the week's field action. A third casualty, Melviri Luchetti, 24, of Fort Ord, listed as dead at army headquarters yes terday, later was reported recov ering from a skull fracture at the Fort Lewis hospital.

Officials To Board Ship TOKYO, Aug. 21 () The NYK line apparently under for eign Office pressure Suddenly an nounced tonight it had reserva tions for 26 United States embassy and consular officials aboard the liner Tatsuta Maru, scheduled to Sail Aug. 28 for Shanghai. At Shanghai, most of the Amer icans expected to obtain trans. Pacific passage home aboard a United States transport. Because of the unfavorable "hos tage" publicity arising from the inability of United States ha tionala to obtain passage from Japan, the'fOVelgn office was be lieved to have exerted pressure, NYK line officials then turned up accommodations for nine naval, two marine and four army offi cers, all Japanese-language stu dents who recently have been ordered to other stations; and a group of consular employes, ' Two Lane Highway Project Bids Asked SALEM, Aug. 21 UP) Bids on 12 highway projects costing $600,000 will be opened by the state highway cimmlssion irt Port land on September 4.

Eugene Sales Up 43 Per Cent SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21 (J?) Census bureau reports pic tured Pacific slope consumers spending from 12 to 33 Cents more on the dollar at independent stdre counters last month than a year ago. Sales figures collected by J. C. Capt, census director, gave Wash ington state retailers an average gain of 33 per cent; Oregon 31; California 21; Idaho 15, and Mon tana 12. Every one of those states had bigger July increases in sales than trade had produced in the first half of the year. Automobile sales continued strong in several states, running as per cent ahead Of last, year in Oregon and 47 in Washington. Furniture sales in Oregon matched the spectacular 55 per cent auto rise in Oregon, and rose 24 per cent in Montana. Lumber and building materials headed the California list, up 31 per cent. In Idaho the rise was 23 per cent. No. 1 cities In percentage gain In sales included Eugene, Ore., up 43 per cent. Portlanders fo Build $1,600,000 Shipyard- SALEM, Aug. 21 Ml) Ar ticles of incorporation for a new shipyard in Portland, having capi tal stock of $1,600,000, were filed here late yesterday by Rudolph Kallio, George P. Grigsby and Arthur E. Pragg, all of Portland. The yard would cdnstruct con crete barges and tankers. The barges would be 400 feet long, and the tankers from 6,000 to 8,000 tons. The incorporators said they would select a site in Portland wunin iv aays, ottm simr i i , ssens Speaker Sounds Plea for Trees (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) that nearly three million acres of Oregon land are now growing new lumber crops, varying from 10 to 100 years old, "If every man and boy and woman and girl would treat these tree farms as they treat the land and crop of an ordinary farm," Olzendam said, "we would be assured of a crop." The speaker praised the "Keep Oregon. Qreen" program . for Dnnging xogetner "unaer one urn. breua" lumbermen, sportsmen, foresters, buslnesimen and citizens in the fight against fire. If the forests are protected, he went on, balanced results can be expected. Labor ' will get fair wages,, capital will get payment for the use of its money and brain, government will get taxec land the consumer will be able to purcnase xoresi products as fair prices. He warned however, that if any group takes too much, the bal anced result will.be lost and the benefit of Oregon's giant tree farm will disappear,. , The speaker described the Clemens experimental, tree farm in Washington and also told of plans by. Oregon lumbermen to set up a similar experimental tree- growing, area. J. H. woods or the "Keep Ore gon Green" association reported at the banquet that great strides in spreading the gospel of "fight torest iires" nave been made this year. - Excellent co-operation by news. papers, enrollments of thousands of men, women, and children in the association, . distribution of posters and pledge cards and other steps have been taken thus far. , Nelson Rogers, state forester, showed how the number of man caused fires this year at the half way point in the season ..totaled only 264, in comparison with a 13-year average of 1113 for each season. If this good record is continued the man-caused fires will be cut in half this year, he pointed out, George Peavey, dean emeritus of the OSC school of forestry, de clared that the "Keep Oregon Green" campaign was part of a "business proposition to ' keep Oregon's millions of acres of for est land in continuous produc tion." A call for "more speedy re forestation" and better protection of areas which are growing new timber crops was made by W. H.
