WTa maintain ceiling prices as of
March (ceiling is applicable to
services of undertakers the same
as a can of salmon or a bottle

vited to approve a bill which
would permit government agen
cies to "purchase, acquire, car
ry, sell or otherwise deal in any
article or commodity, in such
amounts or quantities, in such
manner and upon such terms
and conditions as may be deem
ed necessary to increase or
maintain production or distri
but ion of such articles or com-
modifies, except that any article
or commodity so purchased may
be sold at a price below the
purchase price thereof." Almost
to a man the senate kicked the
proposal out the window or
rather sent it back to the com
mittee on banking lor re-study
because it was the opening
-wedge of government owner
ship.
Champions of the proposal ex
plained that it was only author
ity to provide subsidies, "to pay
the freight," but it was a wide
open delegation of power for the
government to control any busi
ness or commodity through the
subsidy, contended the oppon
ents, and eventually would sub
stitute federal control for pri
vate enterprise. (Federal govern
ment is now seeking to monop
olize all electric energy in Wash

bill).
For agricultural products the
proposal vested commodity

Onslaught Thought Attempt
To Answer U. S. Raid On
Tokyo Several Weeks Ago
Salam. June 3. UP) The
Japanese attack on Dutch Har
bor is another indication that
all civilian defame workers
in Oregon mutt remain on the
alert 24 hours daily. State
Civilian Defense Coordinator
Jerrold Owen said today.
"For the past 10 days, na
tional civilian defense and
military officials have been
drilling Into us the necessity
of remaining on the alert con
stantly. They believe that a
bombing attack on the north
west is probable."
Washington, June 3 (IP)
The navy announced today that
four Japanese bombers and
about 15 fighters had attacked
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, , at ap
proximately 6 a. m. (local time)
today and that the attack lasted
IS minutes.
The . following communique
was Issued, based on 'reports
received up to 4 p. m., E. W. T.:
"North Pacific area:
"1. Information has been re
ceived that Dutch Harbor, Alas
ka, was attacked by four Jap
anese bombers and about IS
fighters at approximately 6
a. m., local time, today (12 noon
E. W. T.), the attack lasted ap
proximately 15 minutes.
"2. No further details are
available at this time.
"3. There is nothing to report
from other areas.
Navy Station There
Naval authorities said a naval
station was located at Dutch
Harbor, but otherwise little is
known about defense installa
tions there since the work has
been carried on for many
months in the strictest secrecy,
The raid may have been an
attempt at a Japanese reply to
the American army bomber
raid on Tokyo several weeks
ago.
Only a few days ago, Secre
tary of War Stimson warned
the nation that Japanese attacks
on the west coast were inevit
able because the Japanese
would have to attempt to save
face by making as complete re
plies as possible to the Tokyo
bombardment.
The house was told In Decem
ber by Delegate Dimond of
Alaska that an air and submar
ine base were being constructed
at Dutch Harbor which is lo
cated at Unalnska island, one
of the largest of the Aleutian
chain which projects 1,000 miles
westward from the Alaskan pen
insula. Near Kuriles
The eastern tip of the Aleu
tians extend within about 750
miles of Japan's northern Kur
ile islands. Since the mid
1930 s these islands have been
closed to white men but it is
believed that the Japanese have
established plane bases and
naval facilities there.
Unalaska is about 2,000 miles
from San Francisco and the
same distance from Honolulu.

Desert Offensive Carries
30 Miles 400 Bombers
Pay Reich Second Visit.
By Roger D. Greene
(Associated Press War Editor)
Britain's desert armies lashed
out on the offensive with a 30
mile thrust against the axis in
North Africa today while RAF
bombers, perhaps 400 strong,
battered the great German war
foundries city of Essen for the
second time in 24 ijours. -
London military quarters ack
nowledged that axis troops had
mopped up British forces in a
nine-mile sector of the 50-mile
British defense line in Libya,
but declared the axis - supply
line was seriously endangered
by a thrust to Rotunda Segnall.
Rotunda Scgnali, a major axis
base, lies 30 miles west of the
advanced axis positions.
New Alignment
Front-line dispatches said the
Germans had now established a
new alignment after withdraw
ing westward from a violent
tank battle at Rnightsljrldge, 23
miles southwest of Tokrub.
While the RAF blasted Essen,
German night raiders again at
tacked the ancient English
cathedral city of Canterbury, a
nazi communique said.
The German high command
admitted that the British had
caused considerable damage in
an attack on Duisburg, Ruhr
valley neighbor of Essen, and
that the death toil at Coiugne
had risen to 200.
Fires and smoke still shrouded
Essen after Monday night's 1,.
036-plane assault on the nazl ar
senal, home of the big Krupp
armaments works, but the Brit
ish declared the results "are be
lieved to be satisfactory."
93 Planes Lost
Fourteen RAF bombers were
acknowledged missing, making
a total of 93 lost since the Brit
ish city-by-city knockout cam
paign against the relch started
last Saturday in a 1,250-plane
raid on Cologne.
A German tally listed 22 RAF
planes shot down during night
raids over the western relch.
While the British thus empha
sized Prime Minister Winston
Churchill's pledge to destroy
Germany s war nerve centers,
American aviation experts pre
dicted that the growing might
of British-American air forces
could reduce trie nazls to virtual
military impotence without
opening a second land front in
Europe.
These experts declared that
the flaming havoc visited by the
RAF on Cologne, Essen, Ros
tock and Luebeck were only the
prelude to a campaign of strate
gic bombing which could cripple
the Hitler war machine without
the aid of land assaults.
