Fewer Tires
In September
Washington, Aug. 21 ffl
With September tire quotas fac
ing a reduction from the Aug
ust level, the office of price ad
ministration called upon; local
ration'ng boards today for , the
Of 'strictest possible " interpreta
tion" ; of recent regulations re
stricting truck eligibility to es
sential vehicles.
Trucks still on the eligible
list include those necessary to
the war effort or public health
and safety.
In p letter to local boards,
the OPA said the war production
board, which allocates rubber
for military, civilian and other
uses, had notified it that allot
ments of tires must follow a
downward trend for the remain
der of 1942.
The OPA in July ordered that
tires be denied to an estimated
200,000 vehicles carrying alco-
holis beverages, soft drinks,
candies, furs and other luxury
goods.
Tire quotas have been in
creased monthly for the last five
months to provide additional re
quirements during the hot
Q.veather. With a reversal of this
trend, the OPA asked . local
boards to consider each appli
cation in the light of the month's
quotas, instead of carrying un
filled applications from one
month into the next.

Commandos Lacked
Divers and 'Chutists
By Edward W. Beattle
London, Aug. 21 U.B A detailed study of the Dieppaj raid
in preparation for more big-scale attacks on the continent con
vinced many observers today that the commandos would have
achieved a smashing victory in-
stead of a moderate success if
they had employed dive bomb
ers and parachutists.
Although the 9-hour attack
constituted the hardest hitting,
most highly integrated land, sea
and air operation' ever attempted
by the British, an analysis of the
raid revealed that its success
was limited, particularly because
of allied losses.
Dive bombers which consti
tute one of the chief offensive
weapons of the Germans would
have been : highly effective
against some German strong
points along the six Dieppe
beaches where the raiders land
ed, it: was said. It was these
strong points that accounted for
a large proportion of the allied
casualties,
Observers also pointed out
that parachutists dropped
around German artillery bat
teries back from the beach could
have taken the gun crews by
surprise and could have seized
control of bridges and junctions,
preventing : the enemy from

rushing up reinforcements to

Despite the deficiencies, how
ever, all observers described the
Dieppe raid as a worthwhile
contribution to preparations for
the ultimate offensive that will
carry the war back to the conti
nent.
United States army flying for
tress raids on German occupied
territory emerged as a vitally
important feature of the Dieppe
raid and as a portent of new,
early attacks on the French In
vasion coast.
Allied quarters, pointing out
the role of the giant bombers in
the "second front rehearsal" at
tack on Dieppe, said they were
the greatest threat to the Ger
mans after the 1,000-scale plane
raids of the royal air force.
Current exports from the Uni
ted States represent more in
terms of physical volume than

To Alaska
Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 21 VP)
U.S. Rep. Warren G. Magnu
son (D., Wash.) investigating the
feasibility of acquiring the Pa
cific Great Eastern railway from
British Columbia, said such a
rail link to Alaska would "mean
more to us than a battleship
and it would cost less."
"I can say for my government
that it feels there should be an
other supply line into Alaska,"
Magnuson told a joint meeting of
the Seattle chamber of com
merce and the Vancouver board
of trade council yesterday.
The provincially-owned rail
road runs from Squamish, 40
miles north of Vancouver, to
Quesnel in the British Columbia
interior.
Premier John Hart told the
meeting that the British Colum
bia government felt the PGE
could be operated ."more advan
tageously in other hands."
He suggested the establish
ment of a joint Vancouver-Seat
tle committee to- press' (for use
of the PGE in the establishment
of any rail link between Alaska
and the United States.

West Salem Salvage
Of Waste Fats Starts
West Salem, Aug. 21 According to information from the
salvage committee arrangements have been made for the dis
posal of waste fats locally through the Sloper market and the
Busick Kingwood market. Fats
may be taken to the Sloper mar
ket during the morning hours on
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays. Ludwig Peterson,
manager of the Busick market,
in agreeing to handle the waste
fats stated that he wished to give
full cooperation but asked that
no deliveries be made on Sat
urdays, The committee recognizes that
this service, due to the short
age of help and storage space,
is an inconvenience to the mer
chant and for this reason stress
the importance of public co
operation through the deliver
ing of the waste in quantities of
not less than one pound, in clean
glass or tin containers, and on
the days selected by the mar
kets. Although not all the markets
are working in this particular
drive, they are giving services
in other ways such as the dis
posal of metal tubes and bottle
caps by the Puritan market,
handling of defense stamps for
the convenience of the public by
the Gerth grocery and other
stores, etc.

Polk's Walking
Cane in Salem
Tom Russell, for past eight
years engineer for the public
utilities commissioner who has
resigned to go with the United
States engineers on duties per
taining to the war, will leave be
hind him in Salem one of his
prized possessions which today
he turned over to a friend here
as a gift.
The possession in question is
the walking cane of President
James K. Polk, which Mrs. Polk
presented to Tom's father, Dr.
Robert Russell, back in Tennes
see. The walking stick, an exceed
ingly heavy one, is made of
hickory taken from the Hermi
tage, Andrew Jackson's home,
and is surmounted with a buck
horn handle .taken from a buck
deer killed in the Cumberland
mountains by General Overton
who was law partner of General
Andrew Jackson.
There is extant in the con
gressional library a painting of
President Polk carrying the
identical cane which was left
here today by Russell.
It is considered appropriate
that the can be left here in the
capital of the state which gain
ed its statehood under President
Polk and which has remembered
the president by naming the sis
ter county across the river in his
honor.
