THE REGISTER-GUARD. EUGENE. OREGON. Page Two Objectives of Eugene War, Community Chest Told By Houglum in Statement The increased Importance of the forthcoming Eugene Community nd War Cheat campaign which will be held during November and link IS separate fund raising ap peals into one united effort, is em phasized by Oluf A. Houglum, president of the Chest, in a state ment on the objectives of the joint campaign effort. "The increasing number of sep arate local and national money raising appeals which this city Is facing has made It evident to busi ness men, citizens and civic leaders that steps must now be taken to consolidate all drives for money In this community Into one united effort. It was this factor that led to the creation of the Community Chest and also influenced the board to augment its original plans by including the several war re lief appeals which had applied and intended to conduct campaigns here into the united Community and War Chest effort." Houglum declared It is believed the residents of Eugene and busi ness interest can no longer afford to give donation after donation to each worthy cause and the many foreign war relief groups that ex pect our support and hold cam paigns throughout the year. He stated the Community end War Chest plan makes possible the merging of several campaigns Into single effort. "It is our aim and hope the forthcoming campaign will be so overwhelmingly accept ed and successful as to make pos sible the complete elimination of separate money raising drives, with the exception of the Red Cross national appeal, for the en tire year," he said. The Red Cross campaign can not at present be merged with any other campaigns. According to advices received from National Red Cross headquarfers there will be no Red Cross Roll Call this fall. Instead the Red Cross plsns to conduct t single war fund campaign nationally text spring. Houglum stated. . In expressing this aim of the Community and War Chest appeal, Mr. Houglum said he felt he spoke with the virtually unanimous sup port of the larger donors of the city, as well as i great list of other generous and eager contributors tnd the large army of volunteer workers who devote th!r time and energy to soliciting eonributions to the many welfare and patriotic causes. "In view of the Increasing urg ency on behalf of victory for very American to budget and eonomlie on time, energy, and money, it would be nothing less than 'sabotage' of our local war effort to continue the vast dupli cation anH nverlflnnins nf work i next year In making sepsrate ap peals for funds when tne job couia be done better in one all out con solidated campaign under the well organized machinery of a success ful and effective Community and War Chest plan," he said. Appealing to all citizens for careful consideration, understand ing and generous response to the campaigns included in the Com munity and War Cheat campaign Houglum pointed out that new tasks will be assigned all of us as the war effort deepens; new de mands will be made upon our time, energy and money. "If we are to meet these demands without wearying of doing good, and if we are to prove the efficacy of our way of life, we must start right here at home in Eugene to stream line our methods of group action."

Allies Close Pincers On Axis in Africa (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Bone only 50 miles east of Tuni sia frontier may cross the border today in a race for the French naval base of Bizerte and the Ital ian port of Tripoli which lies 340 miles to the southeast. At the troop-Jammed allied base of Algiers, significant negotiations were moving forward with a group of high French officials, headed by Admiral Parian, which may have an immediate bearing on the question of Tunisia's resistance to American-British occupation. Developments: 1. The Tunis airdrome was un der continued attack by Royal air force planes, based on Malta, which shot down six large Italian troop-carrying planes flying Ger mans north from Tunisia. 2. American planes, according to the Vichy radio, were attacking Tunisian airdromes; British and American attacks were estimated, to have damaged or destroyed up wards of 40 or 50 Axis planes in Tunisia on the ground or in the air. 3. American and British forces, moving east from bases at Bone and Bougie, were presumed to be approaching the Tunisian frontier if they had not already crossed it. 4. Allied headquarters reported the capture of "considcrbale num bers" of the German armistice commission which had been sta tioned in North Africa; the Nazis were known to have had about 500 commission observers on the ground when the American offens ive was launched. 5. Major negotiations were un der way at Algiers with Darlan who has al-C3dy suggested to the French fleet that lt come over to the Allies as the focal point. Join ing In the negotiations, according Fast-Talking Colonel, Four Commandoes Take Airfield By NED RUSSELL ALGIERS (Delayed) (U Four American commandoes led by a fast-talking British lieutenant colonel seized the vital airdrome at Bleda, 30 miles southwest of Al giers, from several hundred well armed French troops. This correspondent watched the five take the field without firing a shot after a friendly French captain had warned the U. S. air force that authorities were en raged because an American plane had bombed the airdrome at dawn. We simply drove along a road covered by several machine gun posts until we met several high French officers, then spent three hours talking and gesticulating until they realized we did not want to fight but were determined to have the field. Butter Supplies ! Dwindle in U. S. CHICAGO, Nov. 13 (4)With prices held at ceilings, produce dealers today watched the na tion's butter supply dwindle to the smallest proportions for this time of year since 1932, while government officials took steps which market experts said sug gested some sort of rationing to consumers was imminent.

It was difficult to determine exactly against whom we wercto defend it, but the French insisted, saying German parachutists might try to land or hostile French ele ments might to try to seize it. The colonel of commandoes acted as spokesman for the Allies in the negotiations for the field. The lants apparently knew nothing of Ihe Allied swoop on their do main.

A newspaperman with some knowledge of poultry Immediate ly inquired. "Mr. President, doej a setting hen lay eggs?" Farmer Roosevelt "shook his head ruefully at what was left of his mixed metaphor. The conference broke Into groans and laughter when May Craig, correspondent for several Maine newspapers, punned to the president: "Could it be, Mr. President, that the Hatch act is stopping you?''
