Philippines in Tough Spot
Despite Assumption That
Reinforcements Due Soon
Br D.Witt MacKensle
(Wide World War Analyst)
Official word from Manila that the "situation remains un
changed materially" may be taken as encouraging, especially
In view of the continuing Japanese assaults against strategic'
Luzon island.
I think we may assume that I
reinforcements air, land and
water will reach the Philip
pines before long, and It's good
to know that our knight-champions
are holding their own
pending arrival of aid.
General Douglas MacArthur's
We shall do our best" inspires
confidence. And what a grand
Job those marines are doing on
the little Isle of Wake darn
their tough hides!
However, it should be em
phasized that the Philippines
are In a tough place. The Japs
have troops ashore on both the
northern and southern parts of
Luzon and boast that they now
are In position to start a pincers
movement against Manila. That
represents a serious threat.
Singapore Drive
Seen Jap Plan
- News from London that the
Nipponese troops are Infiltrat
ing into northern Malaya, and
that the British are retiring to
prepared positions, gives further
indication that the Japs are
maneuvering into position for
a possible drive against the
great naval base of Singapore.
Even if they find a grand of
fensive against this powerful
position Isn't feasible, they fig
ure on establishing air-fields
from which they can conduct
bombing operations' against the
British fleet at Singapore.
One of the most vital ques
tions In connection with the bat
tle of the Pacific is whether
Russia is going to declare war
on Japan. Certainly one would
expect the Bolshevists to join
the allies in the fight, since the
security of the Soviet union is
so heavily Involved. Obviously
the quicker Japan is knocked
out the better it will be for
Russia because of the conserva
tion of American and British
energy and resources.
The entrance of the Musco
vites into the war against Japan
at this critical juncture might
have a devastating effect on the
island empire. As already point
ed out in this column, the Red
air fleet at Vladivostok is a
mighty sword suspended over
the heads of the uneasy Japs.
All-out bombing raids against
Japanese cities might be catas
trophic for the Nipponese.
Red Rejection
Is Opportune
The Soviet announcement
that nazi peace overtures have
been rejected, and that the Rus
sians will stick by the allies,
comes at an opportune mo
ment. Only yesterday I was
asked what might be the signif
icance of the nazi withdrawal
of warplanes from the Russian
front, the German cessation of
offensives, and Moscow's silence
In the face of this. The inti
mation in this query was, of
part, for those readers who
have followed this column will
recall that from the start of the
European war I repeatedly in
sisted that despite the Russo
German pact the two countries
were headed for war.
It now is clear that the Euro
pean conflict will see the crush
ing of either the Hitlerian re
gime or the communistic re
gime. The Russian soldiers to
day are continuing their counter-offensives
across the wintry
wastes in the belief that Hitler
is out to seize the wealth of
their country and make the
Slavs hewers of wood and
drawers of water for the glory
of the reich.

DEATH ON CROSSING
Hillsboro, Dec. 12. ) An
Oregon electric locomotive
struck an automobile at a grade
crossing near here late yester
day killing Robert E. Gumm,
S3, Hillsboro route 1, Coroner
F. J. Sewell announced.
AIR RAID ADVICE
Salem, Dec. 12. (IP) Stat
Superintendent of Public In
struction Rex Putnam sent all
schools today recommendations
concerning air-raid drills, pro
tection of children during air
raids, and safety precautions.
Jacksonville, Dec. 12 (Spl.)
The Emergency Service corps of
Jacksonville Troop 35 Explorer
Scouts composed of boys from
16 to 24 years has been training
as a first aid unit for several
months to be ready to serve
their community when needed.
They have secured some equip
ment and supplies but addition
al equipment is badly needed
to enable the corps to be fully
effective for emergency service.
A specially built first aid
trailer unit is necessary to trans
port supplies and equipment.
Material and equipment for the
trailer will cost $60. The trailer
will be built by the manual
training department in the high
school. In addition to the trailer
each member must be equipped
with belt ax, sheath knife, first
aid kit and sod cloth. The corps
has sufficient money to pur
chase the first aid kits and
carrying cases.
Under present conditions their
services may be needed at any
time and to avoid delay they are
asking their friends and those
who may wish to assist for dona
tions to help them secure the
additional equipment needed.
Donations may be left with
the Chamber of Commerce in
Medford or with Mr. Wilson at
the Nugget Cafe in Jacksonville.
For the next two Saturdays
the postoffice will remain open
all day as on week days Instead
of closing at noon. Postmaster
Frank DeSouza announced to
day. The extended Saturday hours
are Intended to help take care
of the Christmas mailing rush.
As business increases, additional
windows will be opened for
stamps and parcel post, Mr. De
Souza said.
The postoffice here has no in
formation regarding mail to the
Pacific war area but it is assum
ed that no mail is being sent to
or from the theater of war, Mr.
DeSouza said. As there is no in
formation on this subject or on
airmail schedules, the post
master suggested that patrons
would save time by not tele
phoning the postoffice. The of
fice has been swamped with
telephone calls the past few
days.
Local airmail service depends
on weather conditions and not
alone on military necessities,
Mr. DeSouza pointed out. Under
present circumstances, iirival
of planes is not known until the
last minute, he added. He ex
plained, however, that when
planes are not operating airmail
is forwarded by the first train to
the nearest center where It can
be dispatched by air.
During blackout periods, the
lobby of the postoffice will be
locked and no one will be able
to enter, Mr. DeSouza said. With
all lights out, no one would be
able to see anything anyway
and so it was deemed wisest to
close the building altogether, he
said.
THIRD DAM NEED
Washington, Dec. 12. (IP)
Bonneville-Grand Coulee Power
Administrator Paul J. Raver
told Secretary Ickes today that
a third dam on the Columbia
river would be needed by 1943
course, that Hitler and Stalin .. meft ffrowina cower de-
might be getting reaay to sign mands
another peace pact.
The answer would seem to be
that the Russian and the nazi
Volume of construction in
1942 will depend upon the avail-
Interests clash at every point, j ability of metals, according to
That isn't a new thought on my the department of commerce.
Gus Newbury, 32 Mistletoe
street, was the first Jackson
county resident to contribute to
the Jackson County Red Cross
war relief fund according to
word from the local office to
day. A campaign is underway to
raise $12,000 in Jackson county
alone for county and national
war relief emergencies.
B. E. Harder, chairman for
the Jackson county drive, said
today that local organization is
underway and progressing rap
idly to take part in the national
Red Cross drive in which the
country will raise $30,000,000
for war relief purposes.
"F.D.R." IN INTERIOR
Bayonne, N. J., Dec. 12. (P)
Bayonne hospital technicians

X-ray picture of 3-year-old

child, who lives at 548 Avenue
C, had swallowed a bar pin.
