MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, ''OCTOBER 7, 1943. PAGE FIVE IS LONDON0PINI0N No Physical Bar Seen in Channel and Plans May 1 : Change If Nazis Crack. By Harrison Salisbury (United Press Correspondent) London, Oct. 7. (U.PJ Best opinion in London inclined to day to the belief that the Allies will not invade western Europe until next spring. However, there apparently is no physical reason why the in vasion could not be carried out in mid-winter, though the Eng lish channel is roughest at that season. Weather No Bar Fog, rains and mist normally obscure the channel in winter, but they could be turned to ad vantage as the best possible cover for invading troops, though creating difficulties in keeping forces together and pro viding aerial support. Mention of the channel does not mean the Allies may not be contemplating an invasion else where on the continent, but London discussions of ' Allied strategy almost invariably sim mer down to the channel as the easiest and shortest way to Ber lin despite the known fact that German defenses of the channel are the strongest of any in Europe. The time table always is sub ject to speeding up, particularly if th Germans actually have caved in on the eastern front, but it now is belied the Germans may succeed in establishing a fairly stable winter line even if the line is deep in Poland. Long Preparation Dampening of excessive opti mism about an early invasion from the west resulted from speculation concerning Gen. George C. Marshall's appoint ment as commander-in-chief of the combined Allied forces for western invasion. It was pointed out that Marshall's ap pointment almost inevitably must be followed by lengthy period of preparations. The initial task of any unified commander will be the establish ment of a coordinated set-up of both the British and American establishments in the British Isles. Presently, while there is closest cooperation, there is no unified command in the sense of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's authority in the southwest Paci fic or Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's command at Allied headquart ers, Algiers. The native home of the Devon breed of cattle is In southwest ern England, in the counties of Devon and Somerset. 1 Jap Airbase Blasted Army bombers of the Seventh Air Force and Navy carrier-based planes hit the Jap airbase at Tarawa In a series of raids leaving bomb craters and burned-out bombers on the ground. The raid took place last Sept. 19. THREAT TO KILL Wesley A. McKensle, In a complaint signed by Victor A. Bursell, Central Point district farmer, is charged with threat ening to commit a felony. When arraigned yesterday in justice court, McKensie asked for fur ther time to plead and was granted until 2 p. m. tomorrow. He is at liberty on $1500 bail. According to Sheriff Syd I. Brown, McKensie and family have been living in a house owned by Bursell's brother, and had been ordered to move. An argument is said to have stemmed from this, along with a controversy over some pigs and apples. McKensie, employed as a log loader by Charles Skeeters, upon his return Tues day, went to the Bursell home. According to the complaint, McKensie allegedly said during the course of an argument, "I'll shoot you!" Bursell reported to the sheriffs office, and a war rant was issued. FUGITIVE LIFE PALLS Red Bluff, Cal., Oct. 7 (U.P) Henry Strickland, 46, who es caped from a Montana peniten tiary in July, 1942, today was happy to be back in custody, "I am tired of always looking behind me and watching over my shoulder, Strickland ex plained to Sheriff Ames E Fromme, when he voluntarily surrendered yesterday. Closing time for Sunday Too Late to Classify, 5:30 Saturday afternoon Please remember. STICKS, SAYS WFA Washington, Oct. 7 U.R) The war food administration, ruffling its feathers, announced indignantly today that there would be no turkeys for civil ians until all the servicemen get their birds. "Some reports have been cir culated," the WFA gobbled, "to the effect -that the embargo would be lifted in early October. This is not the case." - They explained that 12,000, 000 pounds of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner had to be re ceived by the army quarter master corps before civilians could see even a giblet. Only 8,000,000 pounds have been rounded ud so far. After that's all taken care of, 20,000,000 to 24,000,000 pounds for servicemen here at home must be assured before civilians can think of putting an edge on a carving knife. WEST HOLLY ST. IDE FAIRMONT BY CITY DECREE Acting on recommendation of the city planning commission, the city council aj; Its meeting Tuesday night passed an ordi nance changing the name of West Holly street to Fairmont street. The change was made due to the confusion arising from the fact that West Holly has no con nection with North and South Holly streets. The street was renamed Fairmont because it runs through the Fairmont addi tion. The council accepted the res ignation from the planning commission of Bernard Roberts who has been gone from Med' ford for some time, and named W. E. Thomas to fill out his unexpired term. . The report of City Police Judge Ralph Woodford showed that $363.30 In fines and bail was collected during September. There were 61 police cases. The council placed on file a petition bearing the names of 16 property owners on South Oakdale avenue who asked that the xone in which Mrs. Lillian Ehrheart's chicken dinner place Is located not be changed. Mrs. Ehrheart is attempting to have the zone changed from a family residence zone to a conditional business zone in or der that she may conduct her business. SGlBlslLIN T Staff Sgt. M. C.
