THE WAR TODAY .By DeWitt Is Hitler preparing a last desperate fling to crush Russia? One of the highly important points brought out by Prime Min 'ister Churchill in his address before the joint session of congress was his prophecy that the fuehrer is likely to make another all-out attempt against the reds. Certainly there are plenty of signs that the nazi chief is getting set for contingencies. Reports from Moscow today as for many ' days past show continuance of 'ii fierce attack and counter-attack 111 in the vital sector just above the R strategic Black Sea naval port of Novorossisk as the bolshe " vists and Boche maneuver for advantage in what is one of the " gateways to the Caucasus. The way Mr. Churchilj put the sit- uation is this: . . As Churchill States It " "It may well be that a further . trial of strength between the ' German and Russian armies is . impending. Russia has already inflicted Injuries upon the Ger .u man organism which will, I bc lieve, prove ultimately mortal. . "But there is little doubt that Q.'litler is reserving his supreme gambler's throw for a third at- ' Plenty of Books To Be Published Washington, May 21 (U.B Book lovers were assured today n by the war production board , that the paper shortage will not . . make further inroads into the number of books to be published .. for summer and early fall read .,, ing. : W. G. Chandler, director of the WPB printing and publish ing division, said it is not likely that further restrictions on pa per for book publishing will be imposed prior to October 1, pro vided that publishers keep strictly within their quotas. I Book publishers now are al . lotted a maximum of 90 per (1 cent of the weight of paper con sumed in the production of ' books in the first period of 1942. : Sub-Stanclard Wage ; Hearing Called y Seattle, May 21 (IP) Dr. 1 George Bernard Noble, former Reed college professor and t chairman of the regional war labor board, will open a hearing on what constitutes a "sub ; standard" wage for Oregon f' workers at Portland tomorrow. ' A similar hearing was held in " Seattle earlier this week. " Dr. Noble explained that ' once a minimum fair pay scale has been determined the board Xyou'ld not be bound by the "lit lle steel formula" of 15 per cent increase in cases judged "sub standard" or below the mini mum fair pay scale. East Salem People Offered Sunday School Union Movies East Salem, May 21 Moving pictures showing the work of the American Sunday Union throughout the northwest were shown by Rev. Tibbets at Swegle school. Several pictures were shown of the work on Indian reservations in Idaho. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Stark and Joan drove to Bremerton, Wash., last week for a visit with their son-in-law, Henry Sunderland, who is in the navy. As he will be at sea most of the time now Mr. Sunderland returned home Jilh her parents on Saturday for an indefinite visit.

Had the prime minister seen fit to develop this point he might have given us some inter esting "ifs" and "whens." The gambling Hitler is a great op portunist he claims to work by divine intuition and there are circumstances now which might deter him. May Take a Chance This column has expressed the view and still believes in it that the question of whether Hitler will attack Russia in a big way depends on how seri ously he regards the threat of an allied invasion of France. If he thinks the allies aren't pre pared to Invade for some months, he might well take a chance and hurl everything he has against the Russians. That probably would represent his final big offensive before dig ging himself in for defense. On the other hand, if he be lieves the allies are about to in vade France, or even the Bal kans, he would be bound to pause before committing him self to another Russian adven ture which would call for em ployment of most of his re sources. An allied assault on Italy might not deter him. As re marked in previous articles, he undoubtedly already has dis counted the loss of Italy. Yamamoto's Death The allies are to be congratu lated on thedeath of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, commander-in-chief of the ( tire Jap fleet. He was one of the most capable and forceful of the militaristic enemies of peace, and his removal from the scene is a victory for the United Nations. Maybe the death of Yamamoto saved him from fac ing an allied court martial after the war, for there are a lot of these barbarians who must an swer charges. Certainly he won't dictate peace in Washing ton, as he boasted. Oswald West Has His 70th Birthday Portland, May 21 (P) Still vigorous and in good health, Os wald West, Oregon's 14th gover nor, observed his 70th birthday anniversary here Thursday.

His family will move to Salem at the close of the school term. ' Some new building is being done around the corner of East Turner road and Sunnyview av enue. Leonard Harms is build ing a large two-story chicken house and the acreage of H. Schnasse also has a new one.

Service Bahlburg Street Class Bales Street Barlow Young Marine Sticks to Post Portland, May 21 OI.R) The story of a 22-year-old marine corporal who refused to quit his ship although he was burned in action, was told here today by the U. S. marine corps office. Corp. James I. Webb of En terprise, Ore., figured that if his ship could take it, he could , . . and he did. He was at his gun station aboard a cruiser when he was struck during the night battle off Tassafaronga, Guadal canal, Nov. 30-Dec. 1. The damaged ship managed to reach harbor and it was then that Corp. Webb decided not to be a casualty. "They wanted to evacuate me along with several other cas ualties but I was afraid I never would get back to my ship," said the lucky corporal. It was while he was being treated for severe burns at a field hospital that he overheard a doctor and pharmacist- mate saying that the marine casualties would be evacuated by trans port. - At this point Corp. Webb made himself very scarce around the hospital, disappear ing until the casualty party had embarked. After that he re ported back to his ship, took further treatment at the field hospital, and never lost a day from his duties. According to the records, he was a' member of a gun crew which shot down a Jap torpedo bomber in the Coral sea battle. Mr. and Mrs. Clay M. Webb of enterprise are the parents of Corporal Webb. He has two brothers, also in the service. Commercial Association For Canada and Northwest Seattle, May 21 M Civic leaders of British Columbia aligned themselves with those of Washington, Oregon and Alaska yester day to form the Pacific Northwest Commercial association, designed to work for the imme' diate and future development of the vast region west of the Rockies. In the forefront of the dis cussion yesterday were the Al aska International highway as originally plotted northwest through British Columbia, and the northward extension of Bri tish Columbia's Pacific Great Eastern railway. S. S. McKcen, president of the Vancouver, B.C., board of trade, and Charles F. Olise, vice president of the Seattle Cham ber of Commerce, presided over the 50 delegates. "I feel that history is being made today," declared Mrs. Nancy Hodges of Victoria, mem ber of the provincial legislature. "I am confident that, within the next few decades, the whole Pa cific run will be the greatest commercial center in the world." ' Dawson Cooper of Fairbanks, Alaska, emhpasized the need of opening Alaska with adequate transportation links, asserting: "The east is being mined out and big industry will have to move out to -the Pacific coast. I see Vancouver and Seattle as the New Yorks of tomorrow." Regular Meetings Ahead The delegates agreed that the organization will meet at regu lar intervals, with separate com mittees to work on highway and railroad connections with Alas ka, the development of post-war aviation and Pacific foreign trade. t A question as to whether there would be enough traffic to justify both rail and highway connections to Alaska brought JAeris 'Memorial Having felt (he need of something in Salem to perpetuate the Memory of our own local War Heroes, many of whom have no known final resting place, we hove established a Memorial, to their memory, in our Chapel at 54S North Capitol Street. Photographs of each of them have been obtained and before the panel displaying them fresh flowers will be maintained. It will be open for visita tion by the Public for the first time on Sunday, May 23, with music arrangements under the direction of Miss Ruth Bedford, chapel organist. The Memorial will be open to visitors every day thereafter. The American Flag will be displayed for the first time on Sunday, opening day. and then at half mast, in mem ory of all of our War Heroes lost to date, and will con tinue at half mast throughout Memorial Week and until after Memorial Day. Thereafter it will appear at half mast, only, when another name may be officially reported and then for one day. Any organizations or individuals desiring to do so, are' invited to take part in a Dedication Service which is being planned for the near future. Whenever anyone wishes to remember these boys indi vidually with floral tributes we will deliver the cards to their relatives. BRUSH COLLEGE BRANCH. First Baptist Brush College school.

Doug las, state CD physician who has this week returned from special schooling treatment of gassed persons presented in short course form in San Francisco, and other leaders of the nurses' and civilian defense services of the state, present plans for util izing limited nursing assistance which would be available in this area in case of emergency. Marion, Polk, Lane, Yamhill and Linn county civilian defense nurses' groups were represent ed. Attempts to grow natural rub ber are being made in Swe den. this reply from Douglas Shclor, manager of the Automobile club of Washington: "This reminds ine of a meet ing I attended in 1906. It was called to discuss a proposal for a highway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Numerous objections were raised on the grounds that there was no need for such a highway and that it was economically unsound." Other comments included: J. V. Johnson, president, Vic toria Chamber of Commerce "They didn't, talk .about costs when they built the Alcan high way, and costs should be our last consideration." Robert McKee, past president of the Vancouver board of trade "Now is the time to build the highway, while people are still talking in terms of billions. If it's necessary from the stand point of security, the cost does n't matter," Mining Requirement Suspended by Ickes Washington, May 21 In terior Secretary Ickes suspen ded for the duration of the war yesterday a mining law require ment that $100 worth of work must be performed each year on each of thousands of mining claims in the United Stales and Alaska in order to retain a right in the claim.
