American Bomber Raid Boosts Allied Morale Says DeWitt M'Kenzie Br D Witt Mackensie (Wide World War Analyst) MacArthur's great aerial coup against the four Philippine bases was In a manner of speaking a token raid, for one of Its chief put pose surely was to place the general's seal on his pledge to take the offensive against the enemy. APRIL 27 DRAFT 1LJELISTED Boards to Establish Conveni ent Locations For Listing of Men 45 to 64 Years. That purpose has been so bril liantly achieved that the result ant lift to allied morale rather pushed the material damage In to the background. The thing which matters is that the com' mander-in-chief has spread his wings of victory and daringly panned a 2,000 mile stretch of ocean to strike a mighty blow, thereby creating record for such a major, long-range opera tion In the battle of the Pacific. Uncle Sam's chin Is a bit higher today, and his step a lit tle more Jaunty. Let the reader consult his own outlook. Don t you feel the uplift? Sure you do. Operation Signals Swing Into Action MacArthur has demonstrated by a dangerous but beautifully executed . operation that Ameri ca definitely is swinging Into action after many disconcerting set-backs. He has given us an exhibition of the strategy upon which we are likely to depend, or so I believe, to crush the Japanese-war from the air with a vast navy of matchless flying fortresses and fighters. The C-in-C has proved again that the Yankee airman is ab solute tops as a fighter, and that American warplanes are worthy of these grand men. He has shown how, even in these early stages of the conflict while we still are in a state of prepara tion, the widely distributed Jap anese bases and attenuated com munications in the southwest Pacific can be blasted. Our leader has given Nippon preview of the day when the sun over Pagan Tokyo will be obscured by an armada of American warplanes, for that is the way we ultimately shall enact retribution. When the Japs stuck a knife in Uncle Sam's back at Pearl Harbor they asked for trouble, and they are going to get their bellies full of It On the whole, this demonstra tlon of air-power and military efficiency must be about the most disconcerting thing which has happened to the Japanese since they violated the laws of civilization in attacking us. At the same time, it should give the American public great courage and confidence, because it em phasizes again that when the United States once Is fully armed, there is nothing on earth which can stop it Object Lesson For Our Allies. Seen Then there's another possible lesson In the raid. MacArthur dared much when he sent those 13 great bombers Into the air. The operation was so perfectly executed that the full extent of the danger is obscured. But he Is one of those who know that war is nothing If not a game of daring, and that nothing venture Doming have. It is difficult to escape the thought that perhaps this raid may prove to be a fruitful ob ject lesson. There is a persist ent feeling and It may not be without grounds that sometimes our allied efforts haven't been daring enough. That's worth consideration when we are fight ing a leader like Hitler who gambles prodigiously all the time. I Mrs. Alice Moore of the Tal ent district, has filed a $10,000 damage suit In circuit court against Thomas V. Magrnth, re siding near the airport, and B. J. Gifford and V. Jackson, can tonment workers, as the result of an auto accident on the Pa cific highway, a mile and a half south of this city, on March 2. Jackson and Magrath were par sengcrs. The complaint cites that an uto driven by Gifford collided with one In which the plaintiff was riding and driven by her husband. Mrs. Moore alleges the Gif ford car was driven in a reck less and negligent manner, and she sustained permanent injury to leg and knee. She Is repre sented by Attorney William M McAllister. XJm Mall Trlbunt nt aaa Selective service registration on April 27 of men in Jackron county aged 43 to 64, inclu sive, who have not previously registered, will be directed by the local board chairmen. The places of registration, not com pletely determined now, are to be announced soon and will be set up in convenient locations throughout the valley. A proclamation for Oregon's fourth registration in compll ance with the selective training and setvlce act of 1940 ano amendments thereto was issued April 10 by Governor Charles A. Sprague and rails upon all public agencies In the state to aid In making the. registration complete and effective and asks employers to give "those under their charge sufficient time in which to fulfill the obligations." Hours for registering are 7 a m. to 9 p. m. According to the governor's l.roclamntlon "the state director of selective service may author ize advance registration where such advance registration is de sirable." All mall citizens and all men residing in the continental Unit ed States, in the territories of Alaska and Hawaii and in Puer to Rico 'n the fourth age group are required to register. L FOR PETIT JURY Members of the netlt 1nrv nf the circuit court were mailed notices today by the county clerk calling them tor duty next Wednesday InatpaH nf nvt Monday, as first ordered.
