Twelve
Oregon Ships
7000 Pounds of
Tin Salvage
Seven thousand pounds of tin
have been shipped out of Ore
gon since the national salvage
program was gotten under way.
This is the report received by
the state salvage committee from
McKesson & Bobbins, Inc., of
Portland, wholesale druggists.
According to H. E. Brown, man
ager, this collection was for the
months -of June, July, August,
and September. This firm is
the collection agency for tin
tubes turned in by Oregonians
for purchase of new tubes of
tooth paste or shaving creams.
The shipment was made to the
Tin Salvage Institute, Newark,
New Jersey. '.'
"The salvage of the tin tubes
is another patriotic, volunteer
endeavor or the part of people
to help win the war," said Claude
I. Sersanous, chairman of the
state salvage committee;
"The druggists are doing a fine
job for the salvage program,"
continued Mr; Sersanous, "and
we not only appreciate their co
operation but also the patriotic
help of citizens in bringing in
their olri empty tubes to the
store when they make purchase
of new tubes."
Mr. Brown advised the state
salvage committee that in the
original order authorizing col
lection of tin tubes, all whole
salers were appointed collection
agencies. He urged that dealers
should send in tubes to the firm
from which they normally pur
chase their supplies.
He stated further that if this
should be impossible or imprac
ticable, his firm would be glad to
accept them. :
Carlton Mill
Burns Again
Carlton, Nov. 6 (P) Officials
of the L.H.L. Lumber company
estimated today that a fire that
destroyed their mill yesterday
for the second time in two
years did $75,000 damage.
The fuel shed, planer and
boiler room alone were saved.
The mill had a monthly capacity
of 4,500,000 board feet and em
ployed 125 men. The loss was
covered partially by insurance,
said E. J. Linke and Guy Haynes,
operators. .
..The mill resumed operations
In January of this year after
having been destroyed by a
blaze July 3, 1940.
Linke and Haynes said they
planned to rebuild again if pri
orities could be obtained to re
place lost machinery.

THE WAR TODAY
By DEWITT
((This column, conducted as a dallr (eatuie by DeWitt Mackenzie, war analyst. Is
written today by Olenn Babb. Mackenzie, now traveling abroad, Is expected to re.
aume shortly.) ....
The three-power axis alliance, dedicated at Berlin two years
ago to the remaking of a new world ruled by force and terror, is
being subjected now for the first time to the strains which great
disaster exerts on such a combination. While Rommel's armies
struggle westward across the inhospital Egyptian desert under
skies made still more .inhospita-
blc by the RAF and American
air forces, Tokyo and Rome are
reviewing the worth and costs of
their ties to Berlin. ,
Little doubt remains that the
victory of the eighth army has
brought us to one of the war's
great crises, History may nom
inate these -days , the turning
point of the whole global strug
gle, comparable to those July
days of 1918 when Foch turned
back the last great German drive
and seized the offensive,
Elimination Progresses
Britain's leaders, twice burned
in previous moments of appar
ent triumph in Africa can be
counted on to be twice shy about
overstating the completeness
and magnitude of the victory
in Egypt. And they leave no
doubt of their conviction that
Rommel has been smashed, that
the elimination of the axis from
Africa is in progress.
. Today's sober British head
quarters communique fully
bears out the exultant announce
ments of victory which came
yesterday from General . Mont
gomery himself and from that
"high British official in Lon
don who doubtless spoke with
the highest authority and on the
basis of the' most complete in
formation. Where previous war
bulletins have announced the
continued advance of the eighth
army, today's notes the altered
character of the battle with its
introduction; "The eighth army
continued its pursuit of the
enemy." , -', .-; - .
Then it notes that Rommel's
mechanized forces apparently
are abandoning their hapless
Italian allies on the battlefield,
where lack of transport leaves
no choice but death or surren
der. Rommel, perhaps still hop
ing to achieve one of those near
miracles of recovery which
gained him renown in happier
times, is bent on saving his own
armored corps at any cost to its
confederates.
Doom for Mussolini
This will not be lost on Rome,
where the Egyptian disaster al'
ready has produced premoni.
tions of doom for Mussolini and
his Roman Empire. The United
Nations leave no room for doubt
that the. Egyptian victory is
merely the prelude to other cam
paigns to rid the whole African
continent of the axis and re
store domination of the Mediter-
ranean to Britain and her al
lies. Then the soft underside
of Hitler's Europe will be laid
open to allied attack; Sicily and
Sardinia will lie at the mercy of
a constantly more powerful air
and naval combination and lthe
Italian homeland itself will be
marked for conquest. To this.

Egyptian Drive
Gets Comment
By Roosevelt
Washington, Nov. 6 VP) Pres
ident Roosevelt analyzed the al
lied campaign in North Africa
today as having the appearance
of a victory of major propor
tions. 1
He told a press conference he
thought all of us, and all the
United Nations, had been pretty
much heartened by what looks
to be a victory of major pro
portions in the Egyptian-Libyan
area. ' :
Things seemed to be going ex
tremely well, he said, adding
that there was not much news
which had not appeared in the
communiques!
Replying to a question, Mr.
Roosevelt said that only a small
part of the equipment used in
the assault against General Er
win Rommel's forces was of
American origin.
Probably far less than half of
the equipment, came from the
United States, he said, and this
equipment, he went on, has been
instrumental in the advance only
to a .minor degree.-
He was asked whether, if the
British eighth army were taken
as a level of perfection in
achievement and training, this
country had anything to equal
it. ' '
We don't know and won't
know, the president said, until
we have had troops in action
on a major scale. There is no
way- of telling how thoroughly
trained troops will succeed until
they have been in action, Mr.
Roosevelt remarked. .'
