Tuesday, May 21, 1940 Sixteen The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Rogers Loses Suits Against Jobless Board Circuit Judge L. O. Lewelllng to day sustained a demurrer in the case of state on relation of Emmet Rogers vs. Earl Snell, secretary of state, and ordered the complaint dismissed. In a companion case of state on relation of Emmet Rogers vs. the state unemployment com mission he sustained a motion to strike and said from the bench that this case too would have to be even tually dismissed. He based his rulings on the fact that according to evidence before the court by deposition the things asked to be done in the complaint, particularly an audit of the state un employment commission's funds from 1935 to March 29, 1939, had been done and that now the matters In volved In the complaint became merely a moot question. The court said that the case against the un employment commission directly In which he sustained a motion to strike today, had not reached a stage where dismissal could be ordered but It eventually would have to be dismissed, as In sustaining the mo tion to strike parts of the com plaint, the entire meat had been eliminated from the complaint. Rogers In his complaint against the secretary of state sought a writ of mandamus to force the di vision of audits to audit the ac counts of the commission from 1935 through March of 1939. He also sought to require the setting up of a separate reserve account for each employer and to credit to such the amount of contributions paid by each employer on his own behalf In excess of one-half of 1 per cent of his annual payroll and also to charge all benefits paid to em ployes against each employer's re serve fund account. In his pro ceeding against the unemployment commission directly he sought an order directing the commission to set up accounts so that the employ ers' rates could be determined on a basis of experience.

LIBERTY and 420 COURT STREETS Allies in Precarious Position in War Area By DeWltt MacKenxie The German claim of havinsr smashed through the allied front and reached the vicinity of the English channel at Ab beville means, if it is substantiated, that the allies are in a precarious position. It doesn't mean, ft however, that the allies have been crushed. It is almost folly to discuss this wholly confused situation as It now stands. We need much more infor mation before we shall be able to pass judgment, and for that reason we should hold steady until we get that information. However, there can be no harm in speculating on what the de velopment may mean. The Germans say they have crushed the French ninth army and captured the general staff with the commander, General Glraud, It Isn't wholly clear just where the ninth was holding at the mom ent of the crash, but It would seem that It had been blocking the route into the valley of the Somme, near Peronne, which Is a famous mili tary route to the coast. The nazls claim to have smashed on and captured Amiens and Abbe ville. This would mean that they have achieved in at least some meas ure what the Kaiser's forces at tempted in the spring of 1918 when they all but won the war. What the Germans don't make clear is the strength of the forces employed In this thrust. We must assure that a comparatively small mechanized spearhead has been Jammed through to the coast, to be followed by supporting troops. In order to make this break through stick, the nazis must pour strong support through the gap In the allied line, else they will have merely tossed some mechanized con tingents out Into the blue to wan der about on their own. If it proves that the Germans have broken through In force, then what does It mean? To my mind the worst aspect of the situation would be that the large allied forces in Belgium would be severed from the French armies to the south in France. The armies in Belgium would be surrounded on three sides by the enemy. The possibilities are pretty nasty. We can at least say that it would take masterful allied general presumably would ease the way to ship to save a disaster. The German break-through also Paris and we can expect that the nazi drive toward the capital, which had last some of Its momentum, now will be increased again.
