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.

Marines Storm
Second Airfield
In Bloody Fight
ADM. 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.

genial manner, never appearing
ruffled, and before the question
ing ended, has had the question
ers smiling with him and often
agreeing with him.
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

Marshal Gregory K. Zhukov's 1st white Russian army
"temporarily" has cut the trunk railroad and the main high

miles from the capital, was hammered constantly by red

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

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.

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

The Yanks could pulverize the
Intramuros and everybody inside

Feldman of the Blue network
termed this a possibly futile ges

Japanese already have killed most
of the civilians.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur said in
his communique today that the

now compressed Into an area only
1,200 yards by 800, "Is acting with
the greatest savagery in his treat

On Corregidor, both entrancei

by explosives and Yanks swarm

rubble In search of the ventilation
