Hill of Hunt, Tex., and may be used for practice dog fights by Brig. Gen. Claire L. Chennault's Flying , Dragons. Hill, six-foot two-inch former American volunteer group pilot and now a member of Chen nault's force, had trouble crowd ing his lanky frame into the seat built for pint-sized Japanese. My darn knees were up to my chin," he said. The plane, a 1940 model 1-19 was seized by the Chinese last year when it was forced down in Fukien province. "The short turning radius and maneuverability of the plane are unbelieveable," said Hill. "It takes off and lands with very short runs. Instruments are sim ple and all gadgets are handy. It has no armor plating- and no self-sealing gas tanks, which are sacrificed for performance." While standing in front of the Orey pool hall at 2:40 o'clock this morning Officer Overgard heard a noise apparently in the rear of the building and 'Upon investigation found that an at tempt had been made to enter the McDowell market, 171 South Commercial.

Keezer whether or not he is to continue as president. They refused to extend his present leave of absence at a meeting yesterday but said that he might return to his post for the fall term if. he wished.

At present he is director of the con sumer division of the OPA and has been in Washington almost constantly. He is now vacation ing here. , Regulating Of Off-Shore Fishing Looms Washington, Aug. 21 VP) A study of certain crustaceans as a food resources and drastic reg ulation of Pacific coast off-shore salmon fishing are expected by Sen. McNary (R., Ore.) .from two measures on which he said to day there had been no objec tions. McNary said he expected ap proval as soon as he could call the bills up for senate vote. The fishing bill would require licensing by the fish and wildlife service of all offshore salmon fishing south of latitude 50 north which would include the three Pacific coast states and would authorize the service to deter mine deeded regulations and to co-ordinate off shire regulations with those in force in the three states. Each boat used in offshore sal mon fishing would be required to have a license, at a fee of not more than $5, and the kind of gear and nets to be used would be specified. Those who engaged in offshore fishing in 1939, 1940 and 1941 would be entitled to file applica tion for permits. If in later periods the service determined that more permits should be is sued, they would be distributed by lot among applicants.

The Capital Journal, Salem; Oregon lope for Action On USO Building In Two Weeks After having followed up sev eral blind alleys with dead ends, the committee in charge of pro viding USO facilities for Salem believe they have found the highway toward success. Re ports of progress in connection with the local situation were made during a luncheon today attended by heads of the several department committees. William Crawford of the gov ernor's economic council who is also a member of the northwest group which passes on the eligi bility for material priorities in all projects of this nature, said he felt sure definite action would come within a couple weeks. He quoted a telegram from Senator McNary, who said he had check ed in Washington with the works production board. The latter group reported that applications must pass through the federal works administration and then be approved by the president. Present plans call for the leas ing of the American Legion hall. Certain alterations will be made in the structure and it is the hope of the building committee that an additional $18,000 or so can be secured with which to build an annex on the Chemek eta street side of the structure. Making reports today for the various activities were: State Librarian Eleanor Stephens, Dr. H. E. Rahe, Mrs. W. L. Phillips, Dr. Henry Morris,1 Ralph Cur tis and William Crawford. George Martin of the YMCA division of USO of San Francis co, a guest at today's luncheon, congratulated the local council as having laid the finest ground work for successful operations he had found anywhere. It was stated by Mr. Craw ford that Col. McCoy of Camp Adair is particularly anxious that he Monmouth USO be one of the first to be completed in this area. Adlard Boys Both In Service Of interest to many Salem people is the word received by Mr. and Mrs. W. R, Adlard con cerning their two sons, both of whom are in the service. Ensign John Adlard, the old er son, is reported on active duty with the navy somewhere on the Pacific. He has completed the armed guard school in San Die go. He is a graduate of Salem high school, and Willamette uni versity. For the past several years he has been one of the head chemists with the state highway department. Mrs. Ad lard is the former Jean Andrews and for the duration she will stay in San Francisco. Staff Sergeant I. R. Adlard, the younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Adlard, has recently completsJ a course in the Japanese lan guage. He has studied to become an interpretor. He is now at of ficers' training school at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. Sergeant Adlard is a graduate of Salem high school and Ore gon State college. In the year 1937-38 he was an exchange student in Canton, China. He was also the first and only Am erican student to enter the col lege at Los Banios in the Phil ippine islands. Germans Claim 2095 Prisoners at Dieppe Berlin (from German broad casts), Aug. 21 (IP) The Ger man high command said today that 2,095 prisoners had been captured in the Dieppe attack. Of these, 607 were reported wound ed. Preliminary accounts the day after the fight had listed the number of prisoners at 1,500. ' (There was no confirmation from allied sources of these fig ures. Allied losses have not been given.) A German communique said 117 British planes were shot down in the attack instead of 112 as originally reported. German plane losses were placed at 35 instead of the earlier-reported 37. Plywood Trainer Planes Produced San Diego, Calif., Aug. 21 m The Ryan Aeronautical com-i pany today said a plastic-bonded plywood trainer plane is now In production for the army. The new two-place open cock pit PT-25 eliminates 98 per cent of tho aluminum alloys used in other trainers. Forgings. cast ings and iron and steel structural parts are greatly reduced. Chinese Recapture Kwangfeng Base Chungking, Aug. 21 (IP) An official Chinese military report today said Chinese forces had re-captured Kwangfeng, which the Japanese had developed into one of their most powerful strongholds in Kiangsi province.

The Chinese were said to have retaken the city yesterday morn ing after by-passing it iir the Kiangsi campaign in which they have recaptured Kweiki, Shang- joa and other points to wresi from the Japanese the control of a 60-mile stretch of the eastern Kiangsi railroad. Oregon Drive For Scrap Opens On Labor Day Oregon's big drive for scrap iron and steel, as a 48th-part of the national scrap harvest, will open with a blast the week of September 7, Labor Day, This announcement was made Thurs day by Claude I. Scrsanous, chairman of the state salvage committee, following a meeting at Portland of representatives of the USDA war board, county agents, oil, automotive, farm equipment and rubber industries which are tying in with the in tensive war program. mis drive will find more than 5,000 volunteer workers doing a grand job," said Sersan ous, which probably will be even more outstanding than the re cent rubber drive, which netted the government 10,225 tons of old rubber scrap from Oregon. We sincerely hope that the big drive can start with a bang on Labor day and that Oregon's million and more citizens will make the supreme effort, with labor in the vanguard." Sersanous emphasized the fact that Oregon's quota on the drive between now and January 1 is 47,500 tons and that Uncle Sam needs a total of 17,000,000 tons to carry on necessary war pro duction activities. During the first six months Oregon put into war production more than 60,000 tons. : W. H. Ramsey, manager of the Union Oil company for -Oregon is heading up the petroleum in dustry in the harvest program and C. W. Thorp of the Good year Rubber company is state chairman of the Inter-Allied In dustries group, which will tie in with the salvage committees of the state to put over the drive. The automotive group is headed by A. B. Smith of the Smith Chevrolet organization and the farm equipment group by J. M. Burt of the John Deere Plow company. Sersanous pointed out that when the big campaign gets un der way, every piece of old, un usable plow, fence, chair, tractor or other piece of iron or steel equipment or part thereof should be turned in through these or ganizations and the salvage com mittees as designated "official salvage depots" throughout the slate. Ban Rail Delivery Of Gas in Midwest Washington, Aug. 21 Wi- -Pe- troleum Coordinator Harold Ickes today prohibited railroad delivery of automobile gasoline in 20 states in the middle west and southwest in a move to re lease an estimated 5000 to 6000 tank cars for supplying the cast. The states brought under the ban were Texas, Louisiana, Mis sissippi, Alabama, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Il linois, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Wis consin, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Deputy Coordinator Ralph K. Davies said It "remains to be seen" whether rationing of pe troleum would- be made neces sary in those states as a result of the order. Plan to Call Men With Dependents Evanston, III., Aug. 21 Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said to day that draft boards would be gin calling men with dependents before Christmas. Tho national selective service direclor reiterated the order in which men with dependentsj would be called. Single men with "secondary" had exhausted its fuel and ra dependents, such as aged or crip-1 lions, and was escorted to Fcr- pled relatives, would be called first, he said Next would come married men whose wives work, then men with dependent wives, and fin ally men with wives and children. Willkie Sent To Tell Allies Of War Effort (Continued from page 1) by the news agencies of this country as to make the situation seem much more serious than it actually is. Raw Materials Problem The fundamental problem of production in this country today, he said, is getting raw materials to plants. He said the priority system sometimes did not work out, but added that tho very use of the system signified there are not enough raw materials to go around. Asked whether he was satis fied with production, the presi dent said no and that he never would be, but he added that he was not blue about the situa tion. Emphasizing that this is a world war, he said the United Nations did not yefhave enough implements of war to go around. As an example, the president said, he .would like to have 1,000,000 American troops in Australia but they just could not be put there. The trip was Willkie's own idea. He has an insatiable appe tite for information about what is going on where the fighting is. An example was his 1941 visit to Great Britain where he conferred with Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Income Tax Plans Discussed Washington, Aug. 21 (U.R) A senate finance subcommittee to day considered a proposal to col lect income taxes currently in stead of a year behind through mandatory monthly installments. Such a system, it adopted, would be substituted for the house-approved plan to withhold a portion of taxes from wage, salary and dividend checks. ; Chairman Bennett C. Clark, (D., Mo.) of the subcommittee appointed to study "pay-as-you-eran" income lax collection, in dicated that he favored a system to collect income taxes on a current, monthly basis. Such a plan would be an adaptation of one submitted to the finance committee by Beardsley Ruml, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, to "forgive" taxes on 1941 income, which are being paid in installments this year, and begin current eollec tion of income taxes by applying the money paid on 1941 taxes to 1942 taxes. The congress of industrial or ganizations in a formal state ment commented on the course of the 1942 war revenue pro gram through congress, con demning the house nad senate tax committees for rejecting the treasury revenue program. 3rd Enemy Sub Sunk Off Brazil (HT the Assoclplfid PrrjiO Enemy submarines in Sonlh American waters have picked off two more merchant victims but reports from Rio dc Janeiro to day said a U. S. plane had sunk another undersea raider the third destroyed in recent days in that area. That the pack of axis submers ibles is meeting stiff resistance off the Brazilian coast was in dicated by dispatches from Fort Alcza crediting ah American plane with destroying a sub. United Stales fliers also were re ported to have sunk one other submarine of the three. Ihe last officially disclosed ship sinkings those of a Bra zilian coastal steamer and a Brit ish cargo carrier put at 438 the Associated Press tabulation of announced allied and neutral war time merchant losses in the western Atlantic area. Brazilians Capture Second U-Boat Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 21 (U.W The Brazilian air force was re ported today to have captured a U-boat, the second put out of ac tion since a ruthless sea and air search was started for the sub marines that sank five Brazilian ships in coastal waters a week ago. Capt. Silvio Fonloura of the Brazilian air force was reported to have nrrived here to report on the capture. The submarine was taken it was said, after 11 -nnndo Noronha Island. President Gelulio Vargas promised 10,000 seamen who marched lo Gunabara palace last night thai the United Slates and Brazilian navies would protect Ihcm. Big Salmon Run In the Columbia Astoria, Ore., Aug. 21 UP) Gillnet fishermen brought in loads up to 6,000 pounds during the last two days, buyers and packers of Chinook salmon re ported here today. The calches allayed fears that Bonneville dam,- across the Columbia river about 100 miles upstream, had damaged the run. The current run was spawned since the Ham blocked the river five years ago. salmon return to spawning grounds every four years. Makin Island Said Scene of Marines' Raid (Continued from page 1) The navy said a Japanese de slroycr or cruiser had been set afire by allied aircraft and de clarcd that bombardments by enemy planes, destroyers and submarines had inflicted only minor damage on allied shore positions. Ships Easily Hid Enemy destroyers could hide easily in the maze of islands, escaping detection by day, and make hit-and-run attacks on (he marines' shore positions under cover of darkness. The navy's announcement that several islands had been "re cently captured" indicated that the marines, cutting through the mountainous jungles, had vir tually completed occupation of tho strategic bases. The leath ernecks were known to have gained beachheads on at least three and perhaps six of the eastern Solomons. Informed quarters in Auck land, New Zealand, said the Jap anese were busily reorganizing their naval and air forces in the northern Solomons, apparently for a renewed attempt to drive out the American sea-borne in vaders in the southeast. Delaying Battle These quarters said Japanese troops in the Tulagi region were fighting a bitter delaying action in the hope of receiving rein forcements, and declaring the outcome still hangs In the bal ance. Striking at Japanese supply bases far to the west, allied bombers again attacked enemy forces on Himor Island and touched off great explosions in the town of Maoblsse, General Mac-Arthur's headquarters an nounced. "We saw a lot of Jap soldiers running for their lives for the shelter of the Jungle," an allied pilot said, adding that the raid ers dropped to low levels to ma chlncgun and bomb fuel or am munition dumps and other ar gets. Farley Bids For Harmony New York, Aug. 21 (U.R) Stale Chairman James A. Farley, vic torious in political battle with President Roosevelt, sought to day to unite democratic ranks behind the party's candidate for governor. Attorney General John J. Bennett, Jr., and win the support of the American la bor party. Farley, who forced the nom ination of Bennett over Senator James M. Mead in spite of the presidents opposition, at the democratic state convention yes terday, was confident that party harmony would be restored. Ninft Russians Hurl Germans Back Across the Don (Continued from page 1) nodar, only 60 miles from the Black sea naval base of Novo rossisk which appeared in im minent danger of beins cut off. But the Russians declared they had taken a toll of more than 2,500 nazis, destroyed 14 tanks, seven armored cars, 103 trucks and many guns in a three-day battle below Krasnodar. Half way down the Caucasus, the land bridge to the middle cast, (he Russians acknowledged that German vanguards had made some advance southeast of Pyatigorsk in a drive toward the Grozny oil fields. Leningrad Front Meanwhile, the Russians proudly marked down the first anniversary of the siege of Leningrad, where the red armv. aided by the city's 3,000,000 civ ilian population, has held the Germans at bay for 12 months. Dispatches to Pravda said Adolf Hitler, expecting a swift conquest of the old-time capital of the czars, had thrown 80 divisions into the long assault and hauled up 6,000 big guns, 19,000 machine-euns. 4.500 mnr. tars and 1,000 tanks in a vain attempt to crack the city's de fenses. Heavy local fighting slill raged around the northern me tropolis, with a mid-dav com munique reporting that more than 1,000 Germans had been wiped out in 48 hours. Russian troops were credited with cap turing an. important stratoffii. position in a limited offensive. German Communique Berlin (from German broad casts), Aug. 21 VP) Continued German progress in the Caucasus and annihilation of encircled sov iet forces on the north central front southeast of Lake Ilmen were reported today by the Ger man high command, which said that elsewhere, on the Don river, near Rzhev on the Moscow front, and on the Volkhov front, Rus sian attacks were repelled. The German communique also reported soviet planes carried out "harrassing flights" over the government-general area of con quered Poland, causing casual ties in Warsaw. The Caucasus campaign was mentioned only with the brief statement that "German and al lied troops, overcoming stubborn enemy resistance, are success fully continuing the attack." Anti-aircraft artillery w a a credited with setting fire to a soviet transport in the Straits of Kerch, while German mine sweepers were reported to have sunk two armored Russian guard ships in the Sea of 'Azov. Sink ing of three soviet transports on the Volga was attributed to the German air force. Farther north, the communi que declared, "several soviet at tempts at crossing the River Don were frustrated." A map showing all the travels and campaigns of General George Washington has been given I. W. (Doc) Lewis by Jesse O. Drake, corner of Trade and Winter streets, to present to Capital Post No. 9 of the Am erican Legion at the September meeting. The map, under ru thority of the 72nd congress in commemoration of the 100th birthday anniversary of Wash ington, was prepared by the Na tional Geographical society for the National Geographic maga zine.
