Washington, D. S. May 28
A tentative date of June 3 has
been set for a hearing on the
proposed Columble power au
thority bill, sponsored by Wash
ington's Senator Bone and Rep
resentative Martin Smith. It is
said that Senator Bone will be
leard and the hearing will then
adjourn until some future time
when opponents of the proposal
wiU be' heard.
No one appears to know much
about the action to be taken
and senators and representa
tives have different views. The
house committee on rivers and
harbors, for Instance, has de
signated a subcommittee to
meet with a committee of sen
ators for a joint hearing. In the
senate no member will admit
that he has heard of such a
Joint committee.
SIX more aluminum plants
are planned for the northwest,
most of these In Washington.
They are what are known as
"pot lines," converting alum
inum into aluminus ingots.
Program is said to Include ex-
O pension of the plant now under
construction at Troutdale giving
it capacity of 130,000,000
pounds of the white metal a
year. Still In the northwest are
government scouts who are try
ing to decide upon locations.
One report Is that three pot
lines will be recommended at
Grand Coulee. Reason Grand
Coulee is said to be favored Is
that the industries will be snug
against the world's biggest dam,
so close as to make expensive
transmission lines unnecessary.

NAVY STATEMENT
One of Ships Damaged
Cruiser Action Never
Made Public, Is Word.
Washington, May 28 UP)
The navy announced today that
U. S. submarines in the western
Pacific have sunk two Japanese
ships, probably sunk a third,
and damaged a fourth, the latter
a heavy cruiser.
The latest report on American
undersea activities was given
out in a navy communique. No.
82, based on reported up to 10
a. m., today, which said: (About
100 words):
"1. Information has been re

operating in the Far East have
sunk or damaged enemy ships
as shown below:
(A) One large auxiliary ship
sunk.
(B) One medium-sized cargo
ship sunk.
(C) One medium-sized cargo
ship severely damaged and prob
ably sunk.
(D) One heavy cruiser dam
aged by torpedo hits.
"2. These actions have not
been announced in any previous
navy department communique
and are not related to the en
gagement in the Coral sea
which was fought earlier this
month.
"3. There is nothing to report
from other areas."
These submarine actions,
naval officials said, were pre
sumed not to duplicate In any
part a report issued at Allied
headquarters In Australia sev
eral days ago In which several
successful attacks by Amer
ican undersea craft were dis
closed. Today's navy announcement
raised the announced American
submarine bag of Japanese
ships to 44 vessels sunk, 13
probably sunk and damaged.

Air Raid
Expected
Washington, Way 28 (VP) Secretary Stimson said today the
war department considered a Japanese air raid on the United
States to be Inevitable as a return blow for Brigadier General
James H. Doolittle's attac' on Tokyo and other Japanese cities.
The secretary told his
press
conference the army was doing
everything possible to meet the
expected attack, which he indi
cated was anticipated on the
West coast.
"Whatever happens, we shan't
relax our most effective de
fenseour preparations for a
major offensive," said.
Stimson also told a questioner
that despite the great distance
the East coast lies from Japan,
an attack on the nr.tional capital
was "not Inconceivable." He
did not discuss the possibility
of attacks by Japan's Axis part
ners. The "loss of face" Japan suf
fered from the army air attack
led by General Doolittle made a
vengeance blow Inevitable,
Stimson contended.
"The United States, through
General Doolittle, Inflicted a
stinging, humilitating, surprise
blow on the Japanese as evi
denced by their boasting of
Japan's invulnerability at the
very time the bombers came
over," the secretary said.
W. R. Nyswaner of Talent,
well-known and long-time resi
dent of Jackson county, dropped
dead of a heart attack while
shopping in a Medford meat
market this morning. A com
plete obituary and information
concerning funeral arrange
ments will be published Friday.
Perl funeral home is in charge.

waner is survived by a daugh
ter, Mrs. Stephen Wolchem. San

distinguished flying cross for
the attack, was "well and happy,
although a bit homesick" In
India.
Doolittle also stated in the
letter that the crews were deco
rated by the Chinese govern
ment for their exploit.
"I saw Royden in China two
weeks ago," wrote Doolittle,
who visited San Diego last Sun
day, five days after President
Roosevetl presented him the
congressional medal of honor.
"He is now in India.
'Transportation and commu
nication facilities are extremely
bad in the far east, so it may
be some time that you may hear
from Royden directly. I assure
you, however, that everything

though plans for the future are
uncertain.

some time in the not too distant
future."

Nazis Back-Pedal
On Two Sectors Is
Claim of Russians
By Hanry C. Casaidy
Moscow, May 28 (IP) The Germans are being forced to
give ground in both the Izyum-Barvenkova and Kharkov sec
tors, the Russians declared today, indicated that the initiative
on both those major battlefields of the Ukraine was firmly In
the hands of the Red army.
Front-line dispatches said that
the Germans, blocked in their
offensive in the Izyum-Barven-kova
area, were trying to dig
in on new defense lines but that
constant heavy pressure from
the counter-attacking Russians
was forcing them to fall back.
From their own freshly-fortified
lines before Kharkov, the
Russians said they were push
ing forward. They battled fier
cely overnight against German
tank and Infantry forces in both
sectors and reported that before
Kharkov one three-day battle
had burned or otherwise knock
ed out 48 German tanks.
Russian accounts said the
Germans had resorted to ruses
in which some of their tanks
flew red banners and displayed
red stars and some of their
troops wore red army uniforms.
There also were several "psy
chological attacks," in which
the Germans charged the Rus
sian lines, firing wildly and
shouting at the tops of their
voices.
In one such case, they tried
the stunt three times, but fin
ally fell back, leaving 1,000
dead "psychologists" on the
field, the Russians said.

No Japanese were registered

BIDDLE REVERSES
CIO CIFS CASE
Attorney General's Ruling
Can Be Taken To Federal
District Courts, If Wish.
Washington. May 28.-
Attorney General Blddle today
ordered deportation of Harry R.
Bridges, v.vst coast CIO leader.
In a decision reversing the
Board of Immigration Appeals
which had cancelled the pro
ceedings on January 3.
Biddle ruled on two major
points one that the communist
party advocates the overthrow
by force and violence of tha
United States government, and
two, that Bridges was a mem
ber of such an organization.
The attorney general upheld
the proposed findings of Charles
B. Sears, retired Judge of the
New York court of appeals, who
presided at a 10-week hearing
in ban Francisco last yeas.
Biddle ordered Bridges sent to
his native Australia at govern
ment expense.
Appeal Possible
Bridges, now free under $J,
000 bond, will be picked up on
a warrant Issued under today's
order and presumably will b.
released under a new bond
pending an anticipated appeal
through the court.
Biddle said that his ruling
could be taken to the federal
district courts, the circuit court
of appeals and the supreme
court.
The Bridges deportation case,
now In its sixth year, has been
the most bitterly fought proceed
ing in the history of the Immi
gration and naturalization serv
ice. Numerous demands were
made for the resignation of Sec
retary of Labor Perkins, under
whose jurisdiction the case
rested until the service was
transferred to the Justice de
partment In June, 1940, and in
1939 sh. personally appeared
before the house Judleiary com
mittee to explain her conduct
of the case.
Senate Blocked Bills
On two occasions, once by a
vote of 330 to 42 and again un
animously, the house voted to
deport Bridges, but both bill
died in senate committees.
At least three times Bridge
has begun proceedings toward
becoming a United States citi
zen, but has not followed them
through. He announced after
the appeals board ruling In
January that he would seek
c'tizenshlp Immediately.
