Germans Claim
13 Vessels Sunk
. Berlin (from German broad
casts), Aug. 11 W) A special
high command communique said
today that U-boats in three days
have sunk 13 vessels totaling
86,231 tons and a destroyer and
damaged 10 additional merchant
men totalling 48,000 tons and a
destroyer.
(These -claims wore without
confirmation from other sources.
The communique said six of
the ships, totaling 41,000 tons,
and the destroyer were sunk in
repeated attacks by under-sea
boats on a strongly protected
convoy bound for England. In
the same attacks seven ships
were reported damaged.
Of the other ships reported
sunk and damaged the communi
que said some were attacked
while on their way from Amer
ica to Egypt loaded with raw ma
terial and the rest were attack
ed off the American and West
African coasts.
Ask Dimming
Start at Once
San Francisco, Aug. 11 W)
Don't wait until the August 20
deadline before turning off out
door lights, the office of civilian
defense today told business firms
and individuals in the Pacific
coast dim-out region.
"Those who insist upon keep
ing their lights burning may ef
rectivcly aid the enemy," said
James C. Sheppard, regional
OCD director.
Lieut. Gen. J. L. DeWitt re
cently designated an area along
the coasts of Washington, and
California, and in some places
reaching 150 miles inland, as a
dim-out area. He set Aug. 20
as the effective dale of the order.
"The date," Sheppard said,
"was so fixed to give shipyards
and other large industrial estab
lishments which arc flood-lighted
for night work, sufficient
time to perform the technical
work necessary to control their
lighting.
"Those establishments which
can comply by merely turning
off a switch should do so now.
An oil company has dimmed
its service stations already, and
one large sign company has or
dered all of its outdoor adver
tising signs turned off for the
duration of the war, he reported.

New Offensive
On Leningrad
(Continued from page 1)
The Russians were counter-attacking
everywhere, dispatches
from (he Caucasian front said,
but were continually being forc
ed to retire under the weight of
German superiority.
Krasnodar is 60 miles north
west of Maikop; Armavir, 55
miles northeast.
The Russians repulsed big en
emy armored forces and many
squads of tommy gunners trying
to penetrate their lines, at Kras
nodar, but gave way under a
second attack, which pierced
their defenses.
Russian tanks and cavalry
penetrated the German column
in a counter-attack and inflicted
heavy casualties and damage, but
failed to halt the Germans. The
fiercest fighting was now report

dar, with the Germans increas
ing their efforts to reach Rus
sia's best Black Sea naval base
at Novorossisk, less than 65 mil

The Russians took the initia

Kletskaya front, 75 miles north
west of Stalingrad, and forced
the Germans to retreat.
Army Has First
Call on Youth
Portland, Aug. 11 Col. El

rector of selective service, to
day had warned employers to be
wary of training draftable men
for important jobs.
"There's no sense in training
a man for some industry when
it is known that he may be in
the service at any minutes,"
Wooten told an employer-employe
session on draft problems.
"The army has first call on able
bodied men for war service."
Employers were asked by the
selective service chief to make
immediate reports when men
under selective service leave
their employ so that a check can
be made. The war effort comes
second and higher pay first for
too many men who jump from
job to job, he said.

Restaurant
Men Appeal
To Women
Faced with a shortage of ex
perienced help and with an ever
growing patronage due to the
influx of men of the armed
services and their families, Sa
lem restaurant operators were
today seeking relief through an
appeal to women who can wait
on the trade to help out during
the rush hours.
"I never expected I would
live to see the day when an
experienced waitress would
loom larger in my eyes than a
patron," Ralph Nohlgrcn, secre
tary of the Salem Restaurant
Operators association, admitted
loday in discussing the situation.
He said that proprietors were
working long hours in their ef
forts to provide food for those
seeking it at their establish
ments but that there was a limit
to what they could stand. The
week-end trade is particularly
heavy and in some instances res
taurant operators have been
compelled to lock their doors,
feed those inside and then re
open to admit those seeking en
trance. "We have the food but
no the help to dispense it,"
Nohlgren added.
In reply to the suggestions of
some persons that the restau
rants return to a seven-day ba
sis, Nohlgrcn queried "if we do
not have the help to take care
of our business on a six day
basis, how could we expect to do
it every day in the week?"
In an effort to find some so
lution to the problem, restau
rant men were meeting this aft
ernoon with Clay Cochran, pro
motion secretary of the cham
ber of commerce.
Find 12 Bodies
In Brewery Ruins
Milwaukee, Aug. 11 W) The
bodies of five of 12 men trapped
in the collapse of a brewery
warehouse were recovered today
from a huge pile of shattered
beer bottles and tumbled mas
onry. The first body found was thnt
of William Schaedlich, 47, of
Milwaukee. It was found only
a few feet from the north ent
rance to the building.
The other four lay about 20
feet back of the door. They
were identified as those of Leo
Buelow, 43, Howard Tisch, 23,
Frank Gicrsch, 56, and Erwin
Ginkcwicz, 41, all of Milwau
kee. District Attorney Herbert J.
Stcffcs visited the scene as res
cue squads dug at the debris
and said he was investigating to
determine the cause of the acci
dent. Chief Louis Wrasse of the
suburban Wauwatosa police, said
that Joe Hayes, worker in the
warehouse, which was under
lease by the Joseph Sell I it.
Brewing Co., told him the ce
ment of the fourth floor had
creaked at 2 p.m. Sunday "with
a rumble so loud you could hear
it through the building."
Thompson Talks on
Insurance Values
Solvency of Insurance com
panies cannot be changed cither
by inflation or deflation as all
commitments arc In the terms of
dollars, Selh B. Thompson, stale
Insurance commissioner, told the
Kiwanis club loday noon. The
only difference Is in the cost of
doing business, with salary and
overheads costs rising, but this
is only a small part of the total
operations, he said.
Insurance business is obtained
on a pcrccnlage basis with prem
ium values Increasing with
Inflation periods, Thompson de
clared. Claims Increase wilh de
flation for persons arc more
prone to seek collections when
these arc greater than the
amount that can be made by un
interrupted employment in com
pensation cases.
By its general nature, insur
ance is cooperative lo curb in
flation, Thompson said. He said
that the war damage corpora
tion takes the places of exemp
tions included in most regular
policies and at a low cost.
Marines Beat-off
Jao Attacks in
5-Dav Battle
(Continued from pase 1)
A dispatch from an advanced
base said that the attack at Ti
mor was carried out a low level
by Australian-manned bomb-
"My bombs made a nasty hole
in a 4,000-ton ship," said an
Australian flight lieutenant.
"After bombing I machine gun
ned the target and I saw Japs
diving through a hell of bombs
and bullets into the sea from the
deck and from every hole they
could find."
One of the ships was seen
sinking nose first.
In the Kokoda sector of New
Guinea, the headquarters an
nouncement said, allied forces
strongly engaged the enemy
yesterday and forced him to
withdraw from prepared posi
tions. This was a variation from
previous announcements of pa
trol activity in this theatre on
the Papuan peninsula 60 miles
east of the allied base at Port
Moresby.
An Australian government
spokesman disclosed that ship
ments of supplies of "highest
possible value" that would "re
volutionize offensive operations
in the north" were landed re
cently in Australia.
"S u p p li i c s constantly arc
coming in," said the spokesman,
who gave much credit to the
negotiations recently conducted
in Washington by H. V. Evatt,
Australian attorney general
and minister of external affairs.
"In three or four months Aus
tralia already has had results of
Evatt's visit in the arrival of
all kinds, such as army equip
ment, war materials and tanks,"
the spokesman said.
Keeping Horses
Held Nuisance
Keeping horses inside the city
limits docs not constitute a nui
sance in all instances but docs
in the case of Hans (Curly)
Hofstetler, dairyman, according
to a decision made by Mrs. Han
nah Martin, city recorder, Hof-
sleUer filed notice of appeal to
the circuit court.
Hofstetter was arrested upon
complaint of D. W. Jory, 1640
North Church, charging him
with maintaining a nuisance in
that a team of horses Hofstet
ter uses to haul one of his milk
delivery trucks paw the floor
and made other disturbing noises
by "keeping them in a barn lo
cated in the 600 block on Nor
way street."
City Recorder Martin holds
that as long as horses are not
kept in proximity to another
person's property as to disturb
them they are not necessarily a
nuisance. The same ruling, she
slates, applies lo dogs and other
animals. Testimony of the com
plaining and other witnesses lead
her lo decide the case the way
she did.
Flying Boats
Passing Out
Seattle, Aug. 11 VP) Advo
cates of air fleets lo take the
place of surface cargo carriers
to escape the submarine menace
are "on the right track" but fly
ing boats arc the wrong type of
planes, a Seattle aviation execu
tive believes.
Oliver West, executive vice
president in charge of manufac
turing at the Boeing Aircraft
company plant, told newsmen
yesterday that "flying boats are
passing out of the picture."
"They'll always be needed to
reach places where no landing
fields arc accessible," he declar
ed.. "But for transoceanic and
cross-continent flights, the faster,
lighter land plane is the only
thing.
"Flying boats are too slow.
They call them clay pigeons in
the Aleutians."
West's company produces the
famed flying fortresses, four-motored
bombers used by allied air
forces throughout the world with
great effectiveness.

Order Private Planes
From Airporf
Owners of eight private planes
stored in the hangar building
at the Salem airport since De
cember have been notified by
the army engineers to move
their ships to other places of
storage, as the hangar is being
converted inlo a fire station for
the new air base.
In addition to a station for a
fire truck, already on the
grounds, the building is being re
modeled to provide living quar
ters for a 14-man crew of fire
fighters working in shifts.
Private flying is now forbid
den in the area west of the Cas
cade mountains, and the owners
of the planes will have to "t
permission to fly their ships to a
point outside the restricted area
or dismantle them for storage
here.
New Crossing
At Switzerland
Copy of a formal order from
the public utilities commissioner
permitting installation of a new
grade crossing over the Southern
Pacific branch at Switzerland in
this county has been filed with
the county court by the com
missioners following a hearing
held last week.
The new crossing will elimin
ate two present crossings. The
order states an average of 96
cars a day pass over the present
two crossings at this point.
Provision is made that the new
crossing and grades be put in
at county expense, that the
shrubbery be removed so as to
be below the level of the vision
of vehicular drivers and be
maintained in that manner; that
instead of a 3 per cent grade on
the north and a 2 per cent grade
on the south In approaching the
railroad crossing there shall hi
a level grade over the entire rail
road right-of-way.
The Southern Pacific company
is ordered lo close its present
two crossings and extend its
right-of-way fences and other in
stallation lo meet the closures
and is also to install two stand
ard warning signs at the new
crossing, this to be done at the
railroad company s expense. It is

To Celebrate
Victory Days
On Week-End
Calling on all of the county
to assist in the two big Victory
Days in Salem Friday and Sat
urday County Judge Grant Mur
hy issued a proclamation today
setting aside these two days as
"Marion County Victory days,"
supplementing a proclamation by
the mayor setting aside these
days as victory days for the city
as well.
The days in question will be
marked by programs of enter
tainment revolving around sale
of war bonds and stamps. One
of the features will be an elab-
urile Iruuk-slage and trailer
booth which is touring the
country and local committees
are now outlining various phases
of entertainment which are ex
pected lo attract people here
from all over the county.
In his proclamation setting
aside these two days as Victory
Days for the entire county,
Judge Murphy says:
"Whereas: The United Stales
Treasury Department in con
junction wilh the Marion county
war savings staff are sponsoring
a program for the promotion of
the sale of war savings bonds
and stamps to be held Friday
and Saturday, August 14th and
15th, 1942, I feel that it is the
patriotic duty of every citizen
of Marion county lo assist in
every way possible to make it a
success.
"The slate of Oregon, and espe
cially Marion county are out
standing in the purchase of
bonds and stamps, but whatever
we do in the purchase thereof
it is not enough considering the
sacrifices that Marion county
boys are making at the front.
Therefore: I designate Friday
and Saturday, August 14th and
15th, 1942, Marion County Vic
tory Days, and I appeal to the
citizens of Marion County to buy
and buy bonds and stamps to
the utmost of their ability, so
that our boys will have the nec
essary implements of war, and
that there will not be too little,
loo late."

added to the collection.
The drive will continue as

the manufacture of implements
of war. Mrs. Eva Rush is the
president of the Salem detach
ment of the ladies' auxiliary.
Townsend Raps
Revenue Bill
Washington, Aug. 11 (U.B Dr.
Francis E. Townsend, leader of
the old ago pension movement,
today urged the senate lo scrap
the house-approved war revenue
bill and enact instead a 5 per
cent gross income lax which he
said would raise $20,000,000,000
(B) annually.
Waving a copy of the house
bill at members of the senale fi
nance committee, Townsend
said:
"I understand the ways and
means committee of the lower
house employed a tax expert to
concoct the prodigy. It must
have been so. No 24 men on
this continent could have been
found whose minds were so
sterile as to have fathered this
abortion.
"The author of this bill must
have searched the universe for
suggestions of more things to
lax, dumped them all into somo
kind of witches' cauldron, stir
red up the mixture and by some
subtle alchemy, probably obtain
ed from the prince of darkness
and confusion, been able to
withdraw this abomination."
He urged the committee "lo
begin a new bright page of tax
ation history for our country"
by voting a 5 per cent tax on all
siles, business transactions and
salaries.
