Chamber Head
Earl McNutt. prominent
contractor, was elected president
of the Eugene chamber of com
merce at tne annual dinner meet
ing Monday night, succeeding Loy
W. Rowling in that office. Other
officers, elected at last night's
meeting were Vince Davis, vice
president; Clarence Lombard,
treasurer, and Charles Snellstrom,
Carl Washburne, and George Gius
tlna, directors. Ralph Dean, South
ern Pacific agent, was elected two
year director replacing Mr. McNutt
President McNutt In his accept
ance speech called for the interest
and support of business men of
the community in the development
of Eugene's future industrial and
business growth. He stressed the
need for greater manufacturing of
Lane timber products and the de
veloping of mining potentialities in
the county. The recreational as
sets of the community must have
their share of discussion in anv
planning, he said and urged the
construction of a direct highway
route to the coast, exclusive of the
Route F highway. It would bring
the coast within 50 miles of Eu
gene, he pointed out.
In behalf of the chamber mem
bership, Fred Stickels presented a
golf bag to the retiring president
Loy W. Rowling.
Rowling gave a resume of the
chamber activities for the past
year, stressing the highlights of the
important job Eugene was doing in
past war industrial planning and
everyday community development
He pointed to some of the goals
that Eugene might seek in the future.
Over 200 persons attended the
dinner and witnessed the display
of Eugene products and activities
in the lobby which showed the
important jobs that Eugeneans are
doing during wartime.
Music was provided during the
dinner hour by the Eugene hotel

Enemy Retreats
In Corsica; Fifth
Army Advances
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS,
NORTH AFRICA, Sept. 21 (U R1
Allied forces broadening their
Mediterranean offensive have
seized three strategic Dodecanese
islands, taken Sardinia, driven
the Germans back in Corsica and
are battling toward the Naples
plain after capturing Ebolt on the
Italian mainland front.
In a late dispatch from the
Salerno" front, south of Naples,
United Press war correspondent
Reynolds Packard said an allied
offensive was well under way
and several more towns had been
captured. The Americans and
British were shoving the Ger
mans back to the North. The
nazis were resorting to demoli

Mass Invasion of Europe
7s Coming Churchill
LONDON, Sept. 21. (UP) Prime Minister Winston Churchill, hoping for a meeting
this year with Premier Josef V. Stalin and President Roosevelt, declared today that the
"time is coming" for mass invasion of Europe on a second front, but strongly warned against
optimistic hopes for an early ending of the war,
Churchill said that America and Britain would select the right time for a second front
and that important arrangements had been made at Quebec and London "for a closely cor
related policy and action between the Soviet Union and Great Britain and the United
States." He gave no hint that the second front would come this year.
The prime minister's lengthy review of the war, delivered to a crowded and enthusias
tic house of commons, lasted three hours and 10 minutes.
Huntington Named
For Coal Planning
C. A. Huntington, of the Man-erud-Huntington
Fuel Co. of Eu
gene, was recommended Tuesday
for membership on the Oregon dis
trict committee of ODT's division
of motor transport, in connection
with plans announced at Portland
for assuring adequate deliveries
of coal to Oregon home users of
that fuel.
The plan announced by Marshall
E. Nauman, district manager of
ODTs division of motor transport
calls for selection of committees
In communities having coal dis
tribution problems, and outlines
the way in which these commit
tees will assist the ODT district
manager in providing delivery to
serve the needs of their commun
ities. Objective of the plan Is to pro
vide necessary manpower and
maximum use of coal dealers'
equipment to obtain distribution.
Huntington and Joe is. uewiu
of Salem were recommended by
the coal dealers group for mem
bership on the Oregon district
committee.
PFC WOUNDED
Among names of V. S. soldiers

Bray, Route 2, Eugene.
Lane Has Small
Bond Lead, But-
Lane county still is leading
Marion county in war bond sales
during the Third War Loan, but
chairmen in both Eugene and Sa
lem appeared doubtful today
whether their respective goals
would be met before October 1.
Only nine days remain in the
campaign, and neither county has
reached the half-way mark to the
quotas. Local sales totalled $103,
322 on Monday. Lane has sold
$2,178,903 of a $4,564,000 quota,
and Marion has sold $2,084,000 out
of $4,931,000.
The Marion county sales do not
Include an allocation from the
state, which Chairman Jesse Gard
expects to be in excess of $500,000.
When added, this sum will swell
Marion's sales far beyond the
Lane total unless local purchases
increase sizeably, according to Dr.
N. H. Cornish, local drive chair
man.
Although fulfillment of the
quotas was a matter of conjecture
to Chairman Gard, he expressed
no doubt Tuesday that Marion
would beat Lane and that . his
staff would get the free turkey
dinner which the losing team will
buy for the other.
"I can taste that turkey al
ready." Gard chuckled over the
teleDhone from Salem, apparently
forgetting his implication of the
day before that Lane turkey is
not as tastv as Marion's. He agreed
with Cornish that success of the
drive will be tested by sales dur
ing the next few days, and en
couraged prospective purchasers
to buy their bonds immediately.

At a place within sight of Napo

French officers hurrying the

down the gangplanks.
Crowds of Corsicans gesticulated
in wild enthusiasm at the water

with French, American, BriUsn,
and Russian emblems. ......
The dry brush on the hillsides
on both sides of the harbor en
trance were aflame where Ger

diary bombs. But the Germans
stayed away from the town.
The warships which carried the
Moroccans had to dodge one Ger

stopped by at least three enemy
reconnaissance patrols. .

over the docks and fired rifles and
pistols intc the air in a great wei'

brought them wine.
The islanders grasped eagerly
fnr American cigarets and asked
many quesUona. They wanted to
know when the Americans ana

they would invade France. They
also asked whether they would
get food shipments.
They said that Corslcan patriots
operating under a leader whose
name was a secret had brought in
125 German prisoners from the

have captured a German aircraft

Ray Carr Nominee
For GOP Clubs Head
SALEM. Ore., Sept. 21 (U.B-
Ray Carr, past president of the
Multnomah chapter of the Oregon
Republican clubs, was chosen sole
candidate for the presidency of
the state clubs for 1944, it was
announced this morning.
The selection was made at a
caucus of the Multnomah county
delegation following the tenth an
nual banquet of the club.
Other candidates announced by
the nominating committee this
morning include Alana Brown,
past president of the Multnomah
county chapter, for secretary;
Alice Paine of Clackamas county
for treasurer and Victor White
ot Tillamook county for sergeant-
at-arms.
Results of a straw vote to se
lect the club's republican candi
date for the 1944 presidential
election gave Wendell Willkie, 94,
Thomas E. Dewey S3 and Harold
E. Stassen 18.
Executive officers attending
the convention include James A,
Rodman, Eugene.
To Serve GOP
NEW YORK, Sept. 21. MB If
the republican party adopts a lib
eral 1944 platform, Wendell L.
Willkie ia willing to give his com
plete and undeviating service "as
the convention's nominee or as a
worker in the ranks."
Willkie made the statement yes
terday in response to one of a
series of questions in Look maga
zine which asked, "will you be
available for the republican nom
ination for president In 19447"
The 1940 republican candidate
said his party could win next year
only if liberalism wins "within
the republican party itself."
The liberal platform, hes aid,
must include: 1. "Protection of
minorities," 2. "Efficient well
managed and economical admin
istration," 3. "A rebirth of enter
prisereal enterprise," 4. Exten
sion of social security and absolute
guarantees against unemployment
and want 5. A new foreign policy
"by which we and other nations
can assure our future safety and
promote our mutual interests."
Churchill said that:
1.. The coming meetings of
American, Russian and British
foreign ministers or their repre
sentatives would survey ' the
whole war situation but leave any
differences to a later meeting of
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin,
which he hoped before the end
of the year would be outsandlng
"significance for the future ot the
world."
2. A potential second front in
Europe separate from the Medi
terranean "third front" haa not
yet been actively opened but it
"exist potentially and is rapid
ly gathering weight." ,
3. Charges of costly delay In
the Invasion of Italy which per
mitted the Germans to seize much
of that country are untrue. Ben
ito Mussolini was rescued by nazl
paratroopers only . because his
Italian caribinlerl guards failed
to obey orders to shoot htm if
necessary. The Italian invasion
was planned without regard to
the capitulation of the Badoglio
regime and actually the date was
moved uo from sept .18 .to-sept,
9, after nail leisure bf airfields
prevented a scheduled American'
borne invasion of Rome.
4. Allied aerial domination of
Germany might well be complete
in 1944 with "profund" conse
auences. opening the possibility of
"methodical destruction ot every
available building ot the enemy."
5. Allied air and sea power have
scored their greatest victory over
the U-boats in the North Atlantic
in a period of four months to
Sept. 18 when no merchantmen
were sunk and a period of two
weeks in September when no ship
was lost throughout the woric
6. The nazl apparently an
bringing out a new secret weapon
in addition to self-propelling
bombs already discharged by air
planes against allied ships. Negli
gence on the part of the allies

however..
7. American troops are aiding
the Italians in driving out the
Germans from Sardinia and al
lied vwarshlps are aiding French
and Italians fighting the Germans
on Corsica,
8. The fifth army Invasion of
Italy below Naples was an out
standing amphibous operation of
history but we ran great risks
and "cut It very fine indeed."
9. In agreement with Russia,
Britain regards the restoration
of France as a great power to be
"a sacred duty from which
Britain will never turn."

"Acting under the president's In

That's a nasty picture. Who are
these powerful interests? The gen
eral public has learned of only
one difference of opinion between
Marshall and critics.
The chief of staff Is said to have
held firmly to the conviction that
western Europe should be invaded
directly from England. Other stra
tegists, particularly mose on tne
British side of the table, have
frowned on cross-channel Inva
sion. Timing of the drive also is
said to have caused some dissen

to know where General Marshall
has stood on LUch invssion, for
that hhs been one of the major is

to cut him down before he regains

One ol the arguments against

the entire west bank and took by
storm the important bastion town
of Chernigov, 30 miles from the
Dnieper river and 77 miles north
east of Kiev, Marshal Stalin an

The successful forcing of the

The order of the day, broadcast

Associated Press, said as the re

mans' defenses prepared on the
western bank of the river Desna
have been overcome by our troops
along the whole length ot the
river and the plan ot the Germans
to stem the advance of our troops
on the line of the river Desna
must be considered to have failed.
Highway Laahed
An earlier Moscow communique
announced that Red army forces
had alashed across the Kiev-Cher-

Dnieper and cut the main Crimean
escape railway between Zaporoche
