VOL. 104 TODAY'S news TODAY EUGENE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1945. NO. 52 The project is a proposed con solidation of Eugene (district 4) and 13 suburban districts to re lieve an acute condition of over crowding. It is one of the most significant i c h o o 1 consolidation projects ever attempted in Oregon. I The first meeting to explain the . program was held Tuesday night' in the Woodrow Wilson school. I Several thousand notices had been given to students to carry home to their parents. The facts about the project and a schedule of the meetings had been printed repeat edly in The Register-Guard. The meeting was attended by about 20 persons. The gathering was smaller than most of those which have attended similar meetings in. suburban districts. As an outcome of the meeting, petitions are being circulated ask ing that an election be called in Eugene on the consolidation issue. Petitions from five suburban dis tricts already have been filed with County Superintendent L. C. Mof iitt. ' Dr. C. L. Huffaker of the Uni versity ol Oregon, who has given many hours of his time to assem bling data on the project and ex plaining it to school patrons, was there ready to tell parents how consolidation would affect the ed ucation of their children. He had facts to present on how it would affect tax bills. "Apparently Eugeneans are not much interested," Dr. Huf faker remarked, with a genial smile. Good-humoredly he went ahead and presented his facts. The ses sion was enlivened by a number of provocative questions which Dr. Huffaker answered smilingly.

NIMITZ" HEAD QUARTERS, GUAM, Feb. 21. (UP) American marines stormed Iwo's second airfield today, by-passing the south ern tip and driving toward its heart from the south in a general advance averaging half a mile along the blazing island front. Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz announced on the third day of the invasion of the island spring board to Japan that the two ma rine divisions had suffered 3,650 casualties killed, wounded, or missing up to 8 a. m. today. One hundred fifty of the casual ties were officers. The marine losses already were more than for the entire opera tion at bloody Tarawa, or the Marshalls and Tinian invasions, and were being incurred at a rate considerably higher than at Sal pan or Guam. Advance Yard by Yard A communique on the Two battle, the toughest in the long history of the marine corps, said the two divisions were slugging forward yard by yard against heavy machine gun, mortar, small arms, and rocket fire.

Action Needed The facts about the consolida tion proposal have been published often .during the last few weeks. As Dr. Huffaker has explained, tne overcrowding has reached a point where something must be done at once. The best and quick est relief for the area, he says, is consolidation of the.,13 districts with Eugene (district 4) and erec tion of a new junior high school probably in the River Road area. To this school would be sent the seventh and eighth graders of the suburban districts, which would relieve temporarily the over crowding in those areas. The dis trict elementary schools would be continued with six grades. After his introduction by G. D. MacLaren, chairman of the Eugene school board, Dr. Huff aker stressed the fact that studies indieate a large . population growth can be expected in this area after the war. The school problem may be increased If a bill raising the compulsory at tendance age is passed by the legislature. There are many stu dents in the area who should be in school but aren't, he be lieves. This situation isfurther complicated by the fact that there has been no school building of any consequence in Eugene since Furthermore, one third of the pupils in grades 9 jo 12 Eugene come from outside the Eugene district. These outside areas can not obtain needed facilities through any plan except consoll dation, he explains. Eugene itself has an over crowded condition and must act, Dr. Huffaker says. The location and size of new construction de pends on whether the suburban districts come into the new set up, which makes Eugene vitally interested in the project, he says. Chairman MacLaren explained that the proposal originated with the districts outside Eugene. "The school board feels an obli gation to all students, not only in Eugene but to the outside ones I ?S SCHOOL I lei Reds Cut Vital Railway; Goch Falls To Allies By ASSOCIATED PRESS Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's 1st white Russian army "temporarily" has cut the trunk railroad and the main high way connecting Frankfurt on the Oder with Berlin, the Ger man high command announced today (Wednesday). A Ger man broadcast said Frankfurt, on the Oder's west bank 38 miles from the capital, was hammered constantly by red army artillery and bombers. nese hands. The first and main base was firmly In American hands. At the same time Maj. Gen. Clifton B. Cates' 4th division launched a frontal assault against the field from the south and by noon was "pushing toward the center of the field," Nimitz' com munique said. "The 5th amphibious corps, havine secured the southern Iwo air field, made a general advance toward the islands central air drome today," the communique said. - "Gains were made along the whole line, and generally were about 500 to 1,000 yards in ex tent" Push Up Slope At the south end of Iwo, where part of the Japanese garrison was cut off by the marine drive across the island, American forces were driving slowly up the slopes of Mt. Suribachi. from which the enemy was plastering the ma rines. This morning the forces push ing up Mt. Suribachi gained more than 100 yards in the face of a murderous fire sweeping the slopes. Nimitz said that of the 3.650 casualties by 8 a. m. today, 3,063 had been evacuated. In the dry language of the com munique, "the numerous strong points which confront our forces in all areas thus far penetrated are being reduced by individual troop action." That meant that the marines were charging the Japanese strong points and dugouts witn flame throwers, small arms, and bayonets, in bloody hand-to-hand struggles. FOR Ol'R OWN. FOR OUR ALLIES II. G. Black, senior clerk in the United States employment office here, models a handsome bear skin coal, which he thinks is well over 50 years old (top picture). Black donated the coat to Russian war relief, In the hopes that some war-beaten Russian "will think he has really found something when he finds this." The coal was brought to Oregon from Montana by a friend who gave It to Black 35 years ago; the friend Is now dead. It Is exceptionally well-made, of brownish-black fur. with a quilted lining, leather armpit shields. "It has rome In handy many a time," mark uld.

However, Oregon lilies are said to be far finer than those grown in Japan. Homenway has five acres planted to the bulbs, and each of his sons is planting acreage this fall. Several other growers have two-acre plots or two and a half acres. G. E. Finnerty of Cottage Grove has two and a half acres planted to the lilies. The Croft lily Is the one favored by the Cottnge Grove grower, who says thol.Kenyon and Davison lilies also are good here. Less trouble with scale tin rot Is cx- onstrated to he an error, and the pCricnced by valley growers tlian in the Willamette valley by W. A. Hemenway of Cottage Grove, himself a grower, and president of the Southern Lane Easter Lily Growers association. This associa tion is the local affiliate of the Pacific Easter Lily Growers as sociation, which meets semi annually, with W. W. Walker of Albany as president. Growing of Easter Lilies In Oregon was started in recent years along the coast, but for some time it was thought the bulbs could not be grown favor ably frther than six miles from the tidewater. This has been dem- No-Strike Vow Abandoned By Big CIO Union WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. 0J.R) Labor's long-siimnering revolt against government reluctance to grant wage increases broke out In to the open today with the de cision of the powerful textile workers union (CIO) to abandon its no-strike pledge. The declsjtm came Just a few ! nours Deiore mc war luoor Doara approved wage Increases for 54, 000 textile and 140,000 packing house workers. WLB ruled, however, that Its wage awards could not take effect until it had Ironed out a dispute with Economic Stabilizer Fred M. Vinson over the question of price relief. F.mil Ricve, president of the textile union, charged in New York that the order "merely con firms the union position that the board is no longer a free agent, able to make Its own decisions." "In effect," he said, "the board says that lt recognizet the fact that cotton-rayon textile workers receive substandard wages but that It cannot give them what equity and Justice demand be cause Vinson has tied the board's hands.' - - , The union's repudiation of the "no-strlke" pledge was based on the specific charge that cotton textile manufacturers had used political pressure to prevent wage increases for cotton workers. Among major labor complaints are the government's failure to adjust the "little steel" formula to high living costs and Vinson's recent order to the WLB to with hold decision on "fringe" wage Increases until it was established that no price adjustments would bo required. The WLB Itself has objected to the Vinson order as "unworkable." By announcing its wage decisions in the textile and packing house cases, it dumped the entire issue squarely in Vinson's lap. The United Packing House Workers (CIO) helped bring the entire Issue to a climax by threat ening to issue a strike call if the wage decision were not made public by last night On the western front Scottish troops have captured Goch, a northern bastion of the Siegfried line.

It was the second straight day of American air attack on that great rail Junc tion, once the scene of nazi party spectacles. .

Numerous nazi armored counterattacks were hurled at them west-of-Calcar, bitterly-defended enemy road center seven mllea northeast of Goch, . . . On the U.

Trapped Japs Under Siege MANILA, Feb. 21 OR Medl- oval siege tactics In modern guise were employed against trapped Japanese garrisons In Manila'! thioH-walled .Intramuros and on Corregidor today aa Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced the past week's fighting has cost the Nip ponese 24,000 casualties. Cannon and howitzers gnawed steadily at the 40-foot-thlck outer wall of the Intramuros to cut aa entrance way for tanks and Infan try seeking to eliminate the cor nered enemy and liberate art esti mated 7,000 civilians, The Yanks could pulverize the Intramuros and everybody inside with air power, but they are try ing to save the civilians. Arthur Feldman of the Blue network termed this a possibly futile ges ture. He was of the opinion the Japanese already have killed most of the civilians. Gen. Douglas MacArthur said in his communique today that the enemy garrison In south Manila, now compressed Into an area only 1,200 yards by 800, "Is acting with the greatest savagery in his treat ment of non-combatants and pri vate property." On Corregidor, both entrancei of the main tunnel were blocked by explosives and Yanks swarm ing over the topside poked through rubble In search of the ventilation vent. . When they find It the Jap anese will be completely sealed off, their doom cerluln. Liquid fire and explosives were killing the few Japanese who man aged to dash from the few remain ing crevices In banzai charges. MacArthur, describing the fight ing in Manila as still bitter, under scored its severity by announcing enemy casualties of 92,000 for the six weeks of the Luzon campaign as against American casualties of 12,9292,676 killed, 245 missing and 10,008 wounded. a nnthip d - owr....5iern.
