The goal is to speed up tele
phone traffic over congested

is heaviest and calls are subject
to delay. At such times of peak
demand the operator will say at
the start of conversation, "Please

Realty Board Backs
Post-War Planning
The Eugene Realty board
Thursday went on record as "en
dorsing, entirely, the principle of
post-war planning for Eugene
and Lane county." and offered its
assistance in making some of this
Dlannim become reality for this
area immedi-itely following the
war.
It l expected the realtors will
name a committee to work with
other agencies in promoting plans
to have needed projects ready to
go as soon as hostilities cease and
priorities are lifted on necessary
materials. The realtors plan now
to prevent a breakdown with the
close of the war and any great
unemployment problem.
The Thursday action followed
a talk by William M. Tugman,
Register-Guard managing editor.
who discussed with the realtors
the proposed "stockpile of Jobs '
for county, city, water board, and
school district units.
It is not knowr. what the fed
eral government is going to do,
but many In Oregon are in the
frame of mind that this state can
not wait to see what is going to
happen, It being the opinion that
city, county, and state govern
ment units should have something
all lined up and ready to go as
soon as the war Is over; later,
going into the broader scope of re
construction for the social and
economic problems, Mr. Tugman
said.
Here, In Lane county, neces
sary projects can be undertaken
on a cash basi, he added, pointing
to the fact that within a short
time the county and school dis
trict will be out of debt, and the
city practically soon, too. If plan
ning is done NOW and tax levies
drawn up, this area will be all
set to go on a cask basis without
the worry of a big debt which has
handicapped th city and county
so in past years.
Any levies set ud to finance
such projects will not amount to
increased net amounts, since some
of the levies now on the tax roll
already will have brought in the
amounts needed the city airport
and swimming pool levies, as il
lustration and reduction in debt
retirement payments within a few
years cutting the levies way
down.
With population increasing so
greatly in this area, bringing with
it many problems of improve
ments, sanitation, with future In
dustrial development, assured, and
with 5000 to 8000, men returning
to this area frorr the service at
the conclusion of the war, Eugene
and Lane county have many head
aches ahead unless they are pre
pared to start at once to work out
these problems and relieve bad
situations, the speaker said.
Announcement was made at the
meeting that Cyrus Crane Will
more, president of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards,
will be in Eugene to address the
local group on June 3.

Injured Man Recently
Discharged From Army
Isaac Caywood, Portland man
found unconscious from a brain
injury beside the railway tracks
near Eugene this week, served in
the U. S. army until recently, and
was given a medical discharge
following a dental operation.
Caywood's condition was slight
ly better today, at Sacred Heart
hospital, where his sister, Mrs.
E. H. Erickson of Port Orchard I
Is with him. He had visited his'
sister since his return to the west I
coast from eartern army camps.
Mrs. Erickson is of the opinion i
that her brother either fell or
was pushed from a train, an opin
ion in which his physician con
curs. His injuries were caused by
his fall, and not by being struck,
according to the doctor.
Identification of Caywood was
made by means of his ration book,
which was in his clothing, al
though his employment contract
and. his money were missing.
Higher Vor!d Living

HOT SPRINGS. Va., May 21
(ll.PJ China nnd the Netherlands
today added their support to
growing sentiment at the United
Nations food conference in favor
of a world commission for con
certed international action in rats,
ing the living standards of all peo
ple. Dr. P. W. Kuo, chief of the Chi
nese delegation, declared In favor
of the project, previously endors
ed by the American and British
delegations.
M. P. L. Steenberghe, chairman
of the Netherlands delegation, ad
vocated an international body
which would be "equipped with
greater and more independent
powers of investigation and con
trol than has usually been the
case hitherto."
Herve Alphand, chairman of
the French delegation, said he
was confident that France, too,
wlil join In any international or
ganization to deal with the post
war food problem.

British Guerrillas
Hit Japs in Burma
NEW DELHI, India, May 21.
Of) A force of British and native
troops that wrecked Japanese rail
lines in northern Burma and ham
pered a Japanese offensive against
India has completed its mission
after three months of bitter jungle
guerrilla warfare, a special British
communique announced today.
Rivaling the exploits of Lawr
ence of Arabia, the forces were
led by Brigadier Charles Orde
Wmgate,.3B, kin to the lengendary
T. E. Lawrence.
The size of the force was not
disclosed, but eight columns, with
nearly 1,000 supply bearing mules,
moved into Burma in mid-February
to smash at the Japanese rail
lines on a 300-mile front between
Mandalay and Myitkyina.
"Certain columns penetrated
more than 200 miles Into Burma,''
the communique said. "Early in
March they put out of action the
railway link running from Man
dalay through Katha to Mylthky
ina. Demolition charges destroy
ed tracks and bridges in 75 places
and rendered further operation of
this vital line of communication
impossible for many months."
Historic Rose-
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
Regosa, the pioneer group reports.
The variety has grown both as a
bush and trailing species.
Until Mrs. .Allison reported it,
this white rose was missing from
the collection of the Pioneer Rose
association. The group granted
Mrs. Allison honorary membership
in the association and called upon
her to serve as the representative
of the group in Lane county.
To some pioneers, it was known
as the "weddim rose."
A bouquet of the roses sent to
we negisier-iiuara omce by Mrs.
Allison drew much comment from
visitors, who "spotted" It at once
as most unusual. For Mrs. Allison
It is a favorite because of the
sentiment atianhmti in tKA
given her by her old school teach
er, ana oecause oi tne aeucate

before In similar heavy smashes
at iiauan Mediterranean bases.
v The RAF and the USAAF dis
closed in a Joint communique that
they had destroyed 5172 Axis
planes in air combats In the Medi
terranean area between the en
trance of Italy into the war on
June 10, 1940, and the collapse
ot Axis resistance in Tunisia this
month.
Of these 2415 were shot down
by the Middle East command
squadrons, including Malta-based
units, and 1757 in the northwest
African campaign.
Since the German and Italian
ground forces tossed in the
sponge however, Allied airmen
have brought down 89 more planes
swelling the north African total
to 1846 and the list in all the
Mediterranean area to 5261. This
figure does not include hundreds
of enemy planes blasted on the
ground.

news seemed all forgotten the
audience sat absorbed, their ex
pressions revealing they thorough
ly enjoyed tho songs. It Is hoped "'
that Conductor John Stark Evans
once in a while was able to
glimpse the appreciation being
shown him and his singers.
There were several factors mak
ing the program so enjoyable.
First, there is the spirit of the
Gleemen a tfrmm nf nfw.imrftc.
sional singers who like to sing,
wno enjoy oresentlng entertain
ment in music for their fellow elti
lens, and who work hard to make
their programs as finished as
possible. Them were variety and
general appeal in the program for
all. There were songs with gay
and lively music, and songs with
beautiful melody. Certainly, the
program was not tlresomely long,
if anything, it was too short.
And, as the crowning feature, the
concert presented a very chairm
ing soloist, Verna Pattison of
Portland, who has one of the
sweetest soprano voices to be
heard here in a long time.
Miss Pattison sang in three
numbers with the chorus and
graciously responded with encores.
Following the Star Spangled
Banner and the chorus' traditional
Prayer of Thanksgiving, a group
of religious songs was presented.
Two of these featured an anti
phonal quartet Paul Potter, T. G.

The program ended In a dra

Miss Pattison singing "When the

of this number, because the words
