Missing Engineer

Portland, Ore., May 14 IP
Harold D. Farmer, 67, missing
U. S. public roads inspecting en
gineer, was being sought today
by nearly 30 forest service em
ployes, Clackamas county author
ities and others.
Farmer has been missing since
Friday while he was on a mis

on the upper Clackamas river. He
had left his car above Lake Har
( riot to inspect the route of a tim
ber access road and arranged to
meet Ed Thompson, Portland res
ident engineer, at a point below
the lake.
The search was started two
hours after the time appointed,
and some foresters believe that
Farmer may have slipped from a
footlog crossing the rain-swollen
Oakgroye fork of the Clackamas
river.
The missing public roads engi

Minister Eamon De Valera,
scoring him for the "shame"
he had brought Ireland by his
neutrality policy. Churchill de
scribed De Valera's policy as
"so much at variance with the
temper and instinct of thousands
of southern Irishmen who has
tened to the batllefront to prove
their ancient valor."
Not Yet Over
Indicating his desire to stick to
his post, Churchill said:
' "I wish I could tell you tonight
that our toils and troubles were
over. Then indeed I could end my
fiye years' service happily, and,
if you thought vou had had
enough of me and that I ought to
oe put out to grass, I assure you
I would take it with the best of
grace. . ; -
"But, on the contrary. I must
warn you that there is still a lot
to do."
Threaded throughout his speech
were references to his advancing
age and the tremendous load he
has carried in five years at 10
Downing street. Listeners thought
he sounded tired, and lacked his
usual fire. But the old - time
Churchillian rhetoric shone fre
quently and brightly. ;, ij
He said the San Franciscd' con
ference must not become a "shield
for the strong and a mockery for
the weak."
' Losses Are Heavy
"We must make sure that those
causes which we fought for find
recognition at the peace table
in facts as well as words," the
prime minister said.
cnurcniu revealed that one-
third of the troops and one-half of
tne losses In the western front
campaign were British. He said
the royal navy had borne the
brunt of the North Atlantic battle
"while the United States navy has
had to use its immense strength
mainly against Japan.
He again pledged Britain to a
final fight against Japan, saying,
we must never foreet that be
yond all lurks Japan, harrassed
and failing, but still a people of a
hundred million, for -whose war
riors death has few terrors."
He paid this tribute to the
United States:
"Ever since the United States
entered the war have I had the
slightest doubt that we should be
saved and that we only had to do
our duty In order to win."
Soviets Lauded
Churchill, i n reviewing the
war, also praised the soviet na
tion and army, Gen. Dwlght D.
Eisenhower, . the British joint
chiefs of staff, and Field Marshals
Sir Harold Alexander and Sir
Bernard L. Montgomery.
The prime minister disclosed
that the Germans, in addition to
their V-l and V-2 attacks on Eng
land, planned to launch long-range
artillery against London.
"Only just in time did the al
lied armies blast the viper in his

War Loan Drive
Officially Opened
Washington, May 14 iir The
government today officially op
ened its Seventh war loan drive,
aimed to help finance the war
with Japan and combat continued
inflationary dangers, with a re
minder that "there Is no truce for
the men on Okinawa."
The Seventh war loan, with a
total goal of $14,000,000,000 (B),
will seek to collect 25 per cent
more from sales of $25-1,000
E-bonds to the man in the street
than any previous drive.
The E-bond quota is $4,000,000,-
000 $1,000,000,000 more than the
E-bond goal In the Sixth war loan
which had the same overall quo
ta as the seventh, $14,000,000,000.
Sales goals of bonds to all individ
ual investors in the current drive
is $7,000,000,000 $2,000,000,000
more than in the Sixth war loan.
J - Volunteers To Aid
Pushing the sales of E-bonds,
Intended chiefly for smaller in
come investors, will be the big job
of 6,000,000 volunteer workers en
listed by the treasury for the
campaign.
To meet the $4,000,000,000 quo
ta, these volunteers will have to
sell a bond to virtually every one
of the 85,000,000 people who have
bought bonds at some time dur
ing the war. Some $30,500,000,000
worth of E-bonds have been sold
since May, 1940. There have been.
of course, a good many redemp

drive would succeed as have all
others so far was voiced by Sec

Giant Sky Raiders Join In Blow at Center
Guam, May 14 (U.P) A 17,000-foot smoke column covered
nine square miles of Japan's industrial hub of Nagoya today
after more than 500 Superfortresses dropped 3,500 tons of
bombs in the heaviest and mst concentrated fire raid in
history. '
Returning crew members said that the glow from names
crackling through the heart of the city was visible 60 miles at
sea. They reported no fighter opposition and meager anti
aircraft fire.
The Superforts were believed to have burned out more
than twice the area covered"
in the two night fire raids of
last March. The daylight at
tack made bombing more ef
fective. Lt. Glen F. Jensen of
Manning, la., pilot of one of
the last planes over Nagoya,
said he could see huge columns
of flame bursting all over the
target sector.
Arsenal Is Target -Specific
targets included the
Chlgusa plant of the Nagoya ar
senal, one of Japan's largest, as
well as thousands of home or
"shadow" Industries. Jensen said
the imperial castle of Nagoya is
located almost In the center of
the area where he saw a great
fire column.
Col. Carl Storrle of Denton,
Tex., declared "It was a damn
good job. A couple more like that
and we can scratch that town off
the list. I'm sure the clusters of
fire bombs more than covered the
nine-sauare-mlle target area."
He said the extent of the fires
was difficult to determine be
cause smoke clouds covered all
but the outskirts of the city and
spread out over the harbor area,

raid, but insisted that "most"

The attack exceeded In weight
