Wants Oregon
Jo Raise Funds
Tor Battleship
Washington. Jan. .19 W A
suggestion that the people of
Oregon be permitted to raise
funds to build a battleship to
replace the historic battleship
Oregon of Spanish-American war
days was advanced today by Re
presentative Angel (R., Ore.).
The old battleship has been
a state museum on the Willam
ette river at Portland and is to
be scrapped to obtain material
needed in the war effort. Angell
wrote Secretary Morgenthau of
the treasury:
"Many persons in my district,
including Roy J. Shires, national
aide de camp of the Disabled
American World War Veterans,
are urging that you authorize
issuance of war funds to be
known as battleship Oregon war
bonds, to be sold to our people
in Oregon, some of them to be
small denominations, so
chool children may take part
In the sale and purchase, to the
end that sufficient may be se
cured in this way to build a bat
tleship to take the place of the
battleship Oregon and to bear
the same name." . .
Angell said Oregonians dis
liked to see the old battleship
scrapped but were willing to
have it done so the metal can be
recast into war tools. He said
Oregon and children of the state
had raised funds to maintain the
old battleship and would wel
come an opportunity to raise
money to replace it.

Fee to Advise
On Motion
: Portland, Jan. 19 U.R The
national labor relations board
investigation of an AFL contract
at three Kaiser shipyards here
was resumed today following an
announcement by Federal Judge
James A. Fee that he would' take
a company motion for an inter
locutory injunction under ad
visement. . Judge Fee made the an
nouncement after listening ' to
Arguments presented by Charles
A. Hart, representing the com
pany, and Richard Perkins,
NLRB attorney.
The hearing itself recessed at
noon yesterday "out of courtesy'
to the injunction proceedings.
In his argument for the in
junction to restrain the NLRB in
its investigation of the AFL con
tract, affecting 70,000 shipyard
workers which the CIO charges
was negotiated in collusion with
the Kaiser company, Hart accus
ed the hearing panel of bias and
prejudice. -1
The investigation, Hart charg
ed! is "a sham, a hearing in form
only and a hearing not conduct
ed before an Impartial tribunal."
In his counter-argument, Per
kins challenged the injunction
proceedings on grounds they
were illegal since they were an
ttempt to restrain an agency of
he federal government.

THE WAR TODAY
By Glenn
The tide of allied success in Russia and Africa continues in
full flood. Each day's dispatches seem to swell, at an accelerat
ing pace, the tale of disaster for Hitler on the two active fronts
where his major fortunes are at stake. 'The temptation to over
optimism is strong; hence it is well to recall that in both these
campaigns the victories now be-
ing won are only preparatory,
In Africa the allies aire mere
ly getting ahead with the job of
clearing the springboard for the
invasion of southern Europe. In
Russia the enemy still is hund
reds of miles deep on Soviet soil.
Rommel's flight and Mont
gomery's pursuit continue at al
most headlong pace. Another
day's advance at the rate of the
last two or three' will bring the
victorious eighth army to the
gates of Tripoli itself. Even to
morrow we may have the an-
Campaign to
Cut Accidents
New York, Jan. 19 U.R An
accident prevention campaign
was launched by leaders of the
national safety council and the
war production fund to conserve
manpower, who left last night
on a 9000-mile tour of major war
production centers throughout
the nation,
The delegation, headed by Wil
liam A. Irvin, national chair
man of the war production fund,
and former president of the
United States Steel corporation,
and Col. John Stilwell, president
of the national safety council,
will launch local wartime safety
programs in each of the cities
it visits.
The tour marked the begin
ning of an expanded program
undertaken by the safety coun
cil at the request of President
Roosevelt.. The program will
seek to reduce industrial, home,
school and public accidents.
Cities to be visited by the
delegates include Seattle, Feb.
1; Portland, Feb. 2.
Ozark Gambler
Kills 4 Men
Fayetteville, Ark., Jan. 19 (U-R)
Five men stepped out a cafe
at Springdale and Tuck Bishop,
45, an Ozark mountain gamb
ler, raised a .45 calibre auto
matic and started shooting. He
killed four of them.
Bishop told' police today he
did; it to "protect my wife's
honor."
Three of the men Lyle "Car
ter, 30, Springdale, service sta
tion attendant, Paul Phillips, 36,
a farmer and Harold Nail, 19,
Lowell, a farmer dropped to
the ground and died where they
fell. Lyle Graham, 20, Lowell,
died later of wounds in the neck
and abdomen, and Ed Kend-
rick, 23, Lowell, the fifth man,
ducked under a car, thus saving
nis life.
"We were standing on the
sidewalk in front when I heard
a shot," Kendrick said. "I
thought Bishop was trying to
show off but when I saw my
buddies falling, I dived under a
car. None of us knew Bishop
very well, we just had a speak
ing acquaintance with him,"
Bishop with his wife, Gleneva,
of Phillipsburg, Kans., escaped
in a borrowed car, but were ar
rested at Alma, Ark.
"Those guys tried to sit down
by my wife in the cafe," Bishop
was quoted. "I shot them to
protect my wife's honor." .
Bishop, whom police describ
ed as a professional gambler, was
placed in the county jail and his
wife was taken to the city jail.
Guards were placed around the
courthouse to prevent a possible
lynching. ,

Rommel intends to fight for

Russian News Inspires
Still more inspiring is the
news from the Russian front
Moscow announces that the 17-
months blockade of Leningrad
has been broken by the storming
of Schluesselburg (literally, the
key city) and the junction of the
armies of Leningrad and the
Volkhov. Leningrad and Stalin
grad, the cities which bear the
names of the two men who ere
ated modern Russia. Doubtless
the sentimental values which at
tach to the mere names had
something to do with making
these cities the sites of the great
est defensive stands of this war,
two of the epic sieges of history,
They were symbols alike for the
Russians and for Hitler; the nazi
leader reckoned that by taking
them he could break -the spirit
of the Russian people as well as
destroy two great bulwarks of
the Soviet military position.
Leningrad is not yet entirely
free; the Germans and Finns still
hold siege lines on three 'sides;
much bitterly contested territory
remains to be won before the
railways that link it to Moscow
and the north are freed. But the
key fortress that locked the ring
on the east has been taken, a
corridor along,the southern shore
ot ijaKe Ladoga has been open
ed; contact has been established
between the defenders and the
armies of relief.
Civilization at Stake
Leningrad's siege has lasted
three times as long as Stalin
grad's but in a sense the latter
has captured the world's imagi
nation to the greater degree. By
the time Hitler's armies had
reached the Volga last August
the realization had gripped all
the united nations that the fu
ture of civilization, was at stake
in the carnage along that famous
river. Had Hitler broken the
Russians there the whole course
of the war probably would have
been different. Hence Stalin
grad was watched anxiously dav
by day by all peoples, and when
the tide turned there the relief
was shared by all the enemies of
the axis. So of course is the re-
joicing over Leningrad, although
that victory somehow seems less
universal in its importance;
Priority Given
For Hop Wire
Confirmation has been given
Dy judge George Rossman
chairman of the Marion county
nea i.ross, that a priority pref
erence has been granted for re
placement of hop wire, fencing,
building materials, hardware
and other articles lost because
of the recent flood waters and
that application for the priority
number should be made to the
Red Cross which has been given
the responsibility for certifica
tion of such losses.
Mel Gardner of the National
Red Cross staff is expected to
be here this week to assist in
setting up the procedure in the
matter of such priorities.
Judge Rossman stated that
registration as to losses should
be made promptly as the prior
ity established is based on an in
complete survey only and there
may not be enough allocated to
meet the situation.

Road to Coast
May Become
Part of No. 20
A group of 12 state senators
and representatives prepared to
day to introduce a joint resolu
tion in the house asking that the
Albany-Newport highway be
designated a part of U. S. high
way No. 20.
The resolution, to be present
ed to the bureau of public roads
and the state highway depart
ment, was a continuance of sev
eral years' effort to have the
80-mile stretch of road so desig
nated to make U.S. 20 a coast-to-coast
highway from Boston,
Mass., to the Oregon coast.
The highway enters Oregon at
Nyssa, goes through Burns to
Bend and from Bend over the
Santiam highway to Albany. Ac
cording to Rep. William Niskan
en of Bend, co-sponsor of the
resolution, only a change of
name would be necessary to
join the final leg of the high
way tb the cross-country route.
Sponsors of the resolution are
Reps. Niskanen, Snyder (De
schutes and Lake), Landon
(Linn), Wilson (Lincoln), Kim
berling (Grant, Harney), Staples
(Malheur), Rennie (Benton)j
and Sens. Cornett (Crook, De
schutes, Jefferson, Klamath and
Lake), Kaufman (Lincoln, Tilla
mook), Booth (Linn), Jones
(Grant, Harney; Malheur), and
Walker (Benton, Polk).
Soldier Tells of
Life in Africa
Silverton, Jan. 19 Members
of the American Legion and
auxiliary and a number of visi
tors received a definite picture
of what soldiering in Africa
really is from a close-up stand
point, last night at the regular
joint meeting of the two organ
izations when a local boy in his
late 'teens, Marvin Dullum, gave
a graphic description of life in
action there, and brought with
him souvenirs and described
others that he was compelled to
leave in Africa because of quar
antine regulations. Dullum
was sent home for signatures and
releases in order to go into China
for further action.
Weather and climate in places
of Africa was not bad he said.
Rains came in Soudan and cool
ed the atmosphere from a mere
153 degrees to a drop to 80 de
grees. Rains wash the mud and
brick houses away and the
natives rebuild annually.
Nt fresh vegetables were per
mitted natives on account of
dysentery. Highly seasoned goat
and camel hamburgers were not
too palatable. No shortage of
foods in the cities but the natives
barely exist, he said.
Army motors do not hold up
well on account of dust and sand
and must be constantly over
hauled. Some of the inconveniences
beside the heat in most sections
were large spiders whose bite
would kill in 15 minutes but the
speaker never knew of a white
man being bitten. The blister
beetles were the worst, leaving
blisters like burns.
