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.

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.
