of work on the roads coupled
with a lack of manpower and
possibility of securing extra men
even if wanted, have coupled to
cut down the crew. No new

this year, only occasional jobs
of patching.

Aufoisfs Warned
To Await Signs
For Right Turns
Warning to motorists not to
start making right hand turns
against the red traffic lights, au
thorized by the city council
Monday night, until the proper
signs are in place was given to
day by Alderman L. F. LeGario,
chairman of the police and traf
fic committee. When signs arc
placed the change will be per
mitted at the properly designat
ed places only.
"Particular attention should
given to the fact that no right
hand turn against the red light
is permissable from Center into
Capitol but will be proper to
turn right onto Center from
Capitol after coming to a full
stop," Alderman LeGarie said
today. "This may be confus
ing because the original inten
tion was a right hand turn is
permissable both onto Center
and onto Capitol, but after in
vestigation, the state highway
engineer is of the opinion that
it would be inadvisable to per
mit turns into the heavy flow of
traffic on Capitol and for the
lime being at least only right
turns against the red signal from
Capitol into Center will be per
mitted. "In the downtown district
right turns will be permitted in
all directions and the sgins, when
installed, will be the guide and
instructions thereon should be
followed to the letter. We feel,"
Alderman LeGarie continues,
"that the new method of traffic
regulations will prove of great
benefit to the public and we ask
for .full cooperation for we want
to bear in mind that safety is
the prime factor and all present
regulations must be obeyed. The
motorist must be in the right
hand traffic lane, with the pe
destrian having the right of way
and the motor vehicle brought to
a complete stop."

The air ministry reported the

Commando party.
Throughout the night United
States Rangers, Canadian shock
troops, British Commandos and
fighting French volunteers
streamed back across the Eng
lish channel , and on through
cheering English country towns
and villages to their bases.
Last Allies Back
The last of the allied troops,
most of them seriously wounded,
arrived in mid-morning under
an umbrella of Spitfire and Hur
ricane planes which streaked a
broad path across the 60-mile
stretch of the channel to Dieppe
above warships and transports.
With them came German pris
oners. A United Press correspondent
saw one sorry group of five
prisoners in drab gray-green
uniforms and thin knee-boots,
their knees shaking in fear that
they wore about to be executed
summarily.
Protected by Planes
All through the night British
planes ranged over enemy occu
pied territory and watched over
the power-driven invasion barg
es, warships and other vessels
which came streaming back aft
er the nine-hour attack that end
ed just six minutes behind sched
ule. Soon after dawn,- squadron
after squadron of Spitfires rac
ed over to Dieppe to cover the
last of the men who had made
the first great raid on the enemy
held coast and had put fear into
the hearts "of the German occu
pying forces from France to Nor
way. They left at field hospitals
on- the south coast hundreds of
stoic wounded and on the beach
es, fields and streets of Dieppe,
60 miles across the English chan
nel, they left the bodies of their
dead, mingled with the bodies of
many more German dead and
the wreckage of nine hours of
concentrated destruction.
They brought back German
prisoners for the intelligence to
question, a clear and complete
picture of the enemy defenses
on the most strongly fortified
stretch of the French coast and
the knowledge that, under an
umbrella of British and Ameri
can planes, they can land in
Europe at will.
The toughest troops of four
nations United States army
Rangers, Canadian shock troops
who will be the spearhead for
the second front, British Com
mandos, and fighting French,
eager to get at German throats
on their home soil had proved
that the second front was feas
ible. Results of Raid
Military quarters, assessing
the results of the raid they re
gard as a complete and inspir
ing success, said:
1. It proved that a second
front can be opened in the west
at a price which may be calcu
lated in advance.
2. To open it while half-ready
would be suicidal.
3. The raid was effected with
the greatest concentration of
men, weapons and airplanes ever
directed against an objective of
such size.
4. There will be more, and
even bigger raids before the sec
ond front comes.
5. The new raids will test the
ability of shock forces lo con
solidate and expand a bridge

day. Huge Forces Needed v

Colonel Des Islets revealed
; that many obstacles had to be
overcome in building the camp
ahead of schedule. For in
stance, he said, "the Willamette
valley is the hardest place in the
country in which to build" be
cause of winter weather and lack
of solid foundations.
One U. S. army construction
project, among a number, which
shattered previous records was
the completion -of the large hos
pital in 62 days, which was more
than 40 days ahead of schedule.
Onev vexing obstacle in the
construction project was that the
contractors drilled five dry
wells, and then, when prepar
ing the site of the telephone
building, a spring was opened up
after digging 18 inches. This
water had to be confined by a
coiierdam, so cables could be

Production of the materials

credited his organization and
the determination of Oregonians
lo give no aid to the axis with
partial responsibility for the re
duction in the number of man

trasted with 1941. A favorable
season has aided materially, he
agreed.
McNulty spoke of the forma

anything I've seen in this war,
even by planes flying thous
ands of feet lower."
Major Fred M. Dean, 25, of
St. Petersburg, Fla., said the
destruction of the Abbeville field
almost immediately affected the
terrific air fight over Dieppe.
"There was a right smart
shortage of FW-190's over the
harbor after the fortresses got
through," he said. "The Ger
mans had to move back to more
remote flying fields and fly al
most as far to battle as we did."
Dean said he got three "good
squirts" at an FW-190 but did
not know if they did any dam
age, and so he made no claims.
"It was a wonderful show,"
he continued. "I saw an FW
190 get a direct hit with an anti
aircraft shell about 400 yards
in front of me and all that was
left were little black pieces fall
ing to the ground."

contest with United States Sen

who had the endorsement of
President Roosevelt. Bennett's
campaign was directed by for

certainty when he received 517
votes, nine over the majority
necessary, with 140 of the 1,014
delegates still to be polled.

had to cast his vote personally

time in 24 years.
President Roosevelt had told
Mead that if he were a delegate
to the state convention he would
vote for the senator.
