Melrose Man
Kills Himself
Roseburg, Aug. 26 (IP) Henry
Anderson, 37, Melrose, Ore.,
farmer fatally shot himself
Monday night with a home-made
mole gun manufactured from a
gas pipe and auto parts, Cor
oner H. C. Stearns reported
Tuesday.
The suicide followed a day of
domestic trouble in which coun
ty officers intervened, Stearns
said.
Sheriff Cliff Thornton said
Anderson threatened suicide
early yesterday, left the farm
house and fired a shot in the
air. Mrs. Anderson, thinking he
had carried out the threat, sum
moned the shreiff. On his ar
rival, Thornton found the An
dersons engaged in a bitter
quarrel "with their two small
children hysterical.
The sheriff took three guns
from the Anderson home and

British Press
Raps Churchill
London, Aug. 26 (IP) Portions
of the British press frankly told
Prime Minister Churchill today
that Britain needs concrete evi.
dence that his trip to Moscow
and the middle east has pro
duced results and warned that
he must bolster home morale."
The Daily Herald, mouthpiece
of the potent trades union con
gress, declared:
"The British public's taste for
trivial gossip about the, prime
minister's missions is flagging
and its appetite for real news
news of results is approach
ing the famine point."
The editorial was considered
significant because the trade un
ion congress is to consider a
resolution demanding an imme
diate second front at its confer
ence opening September 7.
The Herald said Mr. Churc
hill's trips to Moscow, the mid
dle east and Washington "will
become mere curios of history
unless there emerges from them
a coherent plan' and common
strategy for conduct of the war."
The prime minister's first pub
lic report on his mission to Mos
cow and the middle east prob
ably will be made to the house
of commons in about two weeks,
British political sources said.

Chaplain Hart
Killed in Crash
At an Advanced Allied Base,
Australian Zone, Aug. 26. (U.R)
First Lieut. Albert O. Hart,
Sheridan, Mont., probably would
be alive today if he had not
stayed behind when his unit
broke camp to deliver a Sunday
sermon.
Hart became the first United
Slates army chaplain killed in
this war when a plane carrying
him to a new camp crashed
while landing and killed all
aboard, it was disclosed today.
When his unit was ordered to
a new location, Hart volunteered
lo wait a few days to help super
vise shipments of supplies and
equipment. But his main reason
was to deliver his regular Sun
day sermon to the remaining
group. "They may not see me
again for some time," he said.
"Hart was the finest chaplain
I have ever known," said the
commanding officer of the Ala
bama unit with which he had
served. "The boys idolized him
and he did wonders with morale.
It's tough that such a fine man
must die."
Hart, a former infantry offi
cer, had attended the University
of Wyoming and the Presbyte
rian Theological Seminary in
Chicago, and received a doctor
of philosophy degree from Col
umbia University.
He was typical of chaplains in
this zone.
Taxes Too High
For Business
Washington, Aug. 26 (IP) Re
ducton of corporation taxes in
the new revenue bill lo a com
bined rate of 40 per cent on nor
mal and surtax income and 80
per cent on excess profits was
reported today lo have been sug
gested to the senate f inance com
mittee by congressional fiscal
experts.
Colin F. Stam, chief of the
staff of the joint committee on
internal revenue, was said by
finance committee members to
have opposed treasury recom
mendations for increases which
would raise the house approved
rates of 45 per cent on normal
and surtax brackets to 55 per
cent and retain the 90 per cent
excess profits levy now in the
bill.
The treasury suggested a com
bined debt reduction and post
war rebate of 12 per cent of the
actual taxes corporations would
pay, but Slam's suggestion was
reported lo have omitted rebate
proposals altogether.
Members said Stam told Hie
committee the congressional
staff believed the rates suggest
ed by the treasury were too high
to be borne by business.
Wood Army Truck
Bodies Being Made
Portland, Aug. .26 (P) Oregon
plants began turning out wooden
army truck bodies this week,
Ben E. Titus, of the Portland
office of war information, said
today. They were for standard
army trucks and will replace
steel bodies for which materials
are becoming scarce.
Of the original 60,000 bodies
ordered by the army, 6000 were
awarded lo contractors in this
region. First pilot bodies were
built here, in Eugene and Bak
er, and have already been ac
cepted by the army. They were
built of Douglas fir and Pondcr
osa pine with laminated hard
wood sills. Later it is expected
that laminated fir and pine will
replace the hardwood.
The original 6000 will be com
pleted by about October 1 when
it is expected other larger con
tracts will be awarded the Ore
gon firms, Titus said.
$1,000 Paid for

Salt Lake City, Aug. 26 (IP)
One thousand dollars was paid
by the Cunningham Sheep com
pany of Pendleton, Ore., Tues
day for a yearling Rambouillcl
to lop the bidding at the nation
al ram sale.
The animal was sold by John
K. Madsen of Mt. Pleasant, Utah.
The all-time record for a
Rambouillet price at the nation
al show, in its 27lh year, was
$2,000 but A. W. Thompson,

Japan s New Order
Not Working Out
New York, Aug. 26 W) The Japanese scheme for a "great
er cooperative cast Asia," their version of new nazi order, is
not working out, either politically or economically, Rclman
Morin, Associated Press corrcs-
pondent, said today.
Morih, who was interned and
questioned by the Japanese at
Saigon, French Indo-China, at
the start of the Pacific war, re
turned yesterday on the ex
change liner Gripshohn. Before
going to Saigon, Morin had been
(IP) chief of bureau in Tokyo,
1937-1940, and then began a
roving assignment which look
him to Malaya and the Nether
lands East Indies.
Propaganda Lure
"The scheme was never any
thing but a propaganda lure in
any case," Morin said. "In some
areas taken by the Japanese ar
my during the last nine months
in former while colonics or
territories the native popula
tions are cooperating almost 100
per cent with their new rulers.
In others, Orientals not only
fought to keep out the Japanese,
but even today are resisting in
French Coast
Again Bombed
London, Aug. 26 (U.R) Allied
fighter planes raced across the
Dover strait through thunder
clouds today in a sudden offen
sive sweep toward Calais and
Boulogne, on the French occu
pied coast.
It was believed that the planes
were attacking inland targets.
An air ministry communique
said that single bombers on
armed reconnaissance attacked
targets in western Germany and
Holland by daylight yesterday
and coastal command planes
continued attacks on enemy
shipping last night.
Two ships in a convoy off the
Frisian islands in the North sea
were hit, the ministry said.
Docks and shipping at La Pal
lice on the French occupied
coast also were bombed.
One bombing plane was miss
ing from all operations reported
Allotment Check
On Way to Wife
Washington, Aug. 26 (IP) A
check for $184, representing the
first payment made under the
servicemen's allotment and al
lowance act, was on its way from
the navy today to Mrs. Ruby
Williams Whitfield, of Picayune,
Miss.
Altogether checks totaling
$17,435.80, of which $10,053.45
was contributed by the govern
ment and the rest deducted from
the men's pay, were issued to
dependents of enlisted men in 35
stales.
Mrs. Whitfield, wife of Fred
Worth Whitfield, seaman first
class, rccevicd the largest single
amount for the June-July
period. The Whitficlds have
four children.
Flight Uneventful
Two Pilots Declare
London, Aug. 26 (IP) T w o
United Slates fliers who piloted
Prime Minister Winston Church
ill and Averell Harriman on a
14,000-mile trip lo Moscow and
through the middle east in an
American Liberator bomber to
day described the flight as "very
uneventful."
But they came back much im
pressed by the prime minister's
personality, and with his techni
cal knowledge of aviation.
Capt. William Van Dc Kloot
of Sarasota, Fla., chief pilot,
said it was "purely a routin
flight, except for our distin
guished passengers."
Co-pilot J. II . (Jack) Rug
glcs of San Francisco also said
there was nothing exciting about
the flight and that no a single
enemy plane was sighted.
Churchill, Hie fliers said, was
on the flight deck about two
thirds of the time, and often oc
cupied one of the pilots' scats.
"II i s technical knowledge
about aviation is really amaz
ing," said Van Dor Kloot.
River Steamers
Put Up for Sale
Portland, Aug. 20 (U.R) Liens
totaling approximately $10,000
have made it necessary for the
U.S. marshal of the Washington
district to put up for sale the
Columbia river steamer "Vir
ginia V.," it was revealed hero
today.
The steamer Is owned by the
West Pass Transportation com
pany and has recently been op
erated on the run from Portland
to Astoria under charter by
Capt. V. G. Christensen, who
formerly had the vessel on the
Tnrnmn.Kpnllln run.
South Africa has an area ot method of disposing of the rub
472,550 square miles. I ber.
their own quiet ways."
Chaotic conditions developed
swiftly following the Japanese
conquest of southeastern Asia,
Morin said he had learned in
talks with various American ob
servers, doctors and economists.
and the food problem was weekly
growing more acute in Japan
itself.
Vaughn Meisling, former As
sociated Press correspondent at
Hong Kong, said the so-called
Japanese co-prosperity hit the
once rich .British crown colony
"like a desert wind," Hunger,
looting and disease prevailed.
Morin, outlining the results
of the Japanese attempt lo win
over the Oriental peoples, put it
this way:
Chinese Cooperation
Chinese probably 65,000 Chi
nese followers of the Wang-Wei
puppet regime served Japanese
interests in and around Hong
Kong before the war and acted
as spies and fifth columnists.
The remainder of the city's 1,
050,000 Chinese cooperated by
fleeing to the interior of China.
Filipinos There were prob
ably fewer than 500 Japanese
owned Filipinos in all the isl
ands before the war and the bulk
ot the nation gave an unquali
fied answer to Japan throughout
the desperate campagin which
ended at Balaan and Corregidor.
Filipino cooperation with Japan
today centers around aged Gen.
Emilio Aruinaldo and probably
embraces no more than one-tenth
of one per cent of the total pop
ulation. Thailand Enmeshed
Thailand is thoroughly en
meshed in tiie "greater East As
ia" plan, partly by choice, main
ly by force of circumstances.
Burmese Uniformed Burm
ese troops turned against their
British officers during the quick
campaign last spring. The pow
crful Burmese priesthood appar
cntly was Japan's means ot win
ning over the peasants. Today,
Burma is as solidly fixed a:
Thailand in the Japanese line
up.
Malays Malay traitors were
chiefly responsible for guiding
Japanese troops through the
jungles after they had landed
on the coasts. Japan has since
decorated at least one powerful
Malay sultan, and all Malays
are considered willing aides to
the Japanese today,
Indonesians Resist
Indonesians The independ
ence movement among the Indo
nesians in the Netherlands East
Indies was organized and well
developed long before the out
break of the war.' Japanese ag
ents had tried hard to link the
Japanese "Asia for the Asiatics"
movement with the aspirations
of the Indonesians. But there was
an almost total lack of success.
Not even the most determined
Indonesian leaders would coun
tenance any assistance to the
Japanese.
The Japanese Indo-Chinese
have been in French Indo-China
longer than in any other Europ
ean colony. They came in force,
in August, 1941, under the
French-Japanese agreement. At
first the main natives Annam
Hcs, Tonkinesc, Cambodians
were inclined to welcome them.
After a year's experience witli
the Japanese they turned in the
other direction. In Indo-China
today there is no unity whatever
between the Japanese and their
Oriental cousins.
