PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1943. JAPS CONFUSED, U. S. WILLDO NEXT Rear Admiral Carney Says Enemy Trying to Get Set Before Next Blow Falls. Br Frank Tremaine (United Press Correspondent) Adm. Halsey's Headquarters, South Pacific, Dec. 7. U.PJ Two high-ranking south Pacific officers said today that the Japanese are confused along the entire Pacific front knowing the United States Is ready to strike new blows In the south, southwest and central Pacific and also indicated their belief that the Japanese might aban don their key base of Rabaul, ' although not before making our attack there as costly as pos sible. The two officers, Read Adm. Robert B. Carney, chief of staff to Adm. William F. Halsey, and Brig. Gen. Alfred S. Noble, chief of staff for the first Mar ine Amphibious corps under MaJ. Gen. Roy Geiger, held a Joint press conference here upon Noble's arrival from Bougain ville. Thoroughly Confused Carney said In response to a question that the Japanese on Bougainville are "thoroughly confused, and don't know what we are doing or what they them selves are doing." Then he added: "The Jap Is confused In the whole Pacific area because he knows our central, south and southwest Pacific forces arc all set to hit him.- He is moving around trying to get set for the next blow." Asked whether the Japanese might abandon Rabaul, Carney declared, "our carrier strikes have demonstrated Rabaul Is no longer safe as a big enemy base. Nobody in his right mind is go ing to throw good money after bad. The Jap will probably hang on to make Its capture as costly as possible for us, but I tilnk there will come a time when it will be too expensive fcr him to hold on any longer." Caught Napping . Carney and Noble agreed that the Japanese were caught flat footed by our Invasion of Bou gainville Nov. 1, and explained that apparently the enemy ex pected us to . attack the Short land Islands south of Bougain ville. The Bougainville campaign at the end of five weeks Is entirely different from that at Guadal canal, the two officers said. In stead of "hanging on by the skin of their teeth" as at Guad alcanal, American forces on Bougainville have ample equip ment and there Is no question but that the success of our ven ture has been secured, they de clared. "Guadalcanal was shoe string operation, but our steam roller at Bougainville is really running now, Carney said. STOLENRATION One gasoline ration book, al legedly stolen from the "Don and Betty" service station near Eagle Point, by Keith Lawrence Larson, 16, Ruch, held in the county jail on a petty larceny charge, has been recovered.

E TOLD BY Blood transfusions, yesterday and today, were interestingly de scribed by Anthony Manno, in a talk before fellow Toastmasters Monday evening at their regular dinner meeting at the Jackson Hotel. That the extreme efficacy of transfusion as a life-saver was not always realized, was brought out by Manno, who cited the first recorded attempt at mood transfusion In the 16th century by French doctor named Den nis, who made a successful trans fusion from a lamb to the veins of a boy, who was at the point of death. This event, which in cited widespread interest, lapsed Into obscurity for 190 years, when an English doctor, named Blundell, began experimentation with human blood.. The more serious difficulties were not Iron ed out, said Manno, until the year 1901, when an Austrian scientist named Landsteiner dis covered that all human blood s not alike and that blood- types had to be coordinated to render transfusions successful. The Importance today of blood transfusions on the battlefield was emphasized by the speaker. who solicited the cooperation of the club in securing a blood-bank day, Dec. 8, when Warrant Car additional thousands of quarts of needed blood plasma could be supplied. Other speakers were Dr. F. J. Moffatt and D. D. Davis. Toast- m&ster of the evening was George Buchanan, toplcmaster. Dr. W. F. Roney. A Christmas party and an exchange of gifts has been scheduled for next Monday eve for the city of Medford, by which ning at Ehrheart's, following the on Instance, two boys of seven and eight years and a girl of 13 years were escorted borne.

E IN STATE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE No drives for the salvage of paper are to be started In any Oregon community until advance arrangements have been made for the disposal of the paper, ac cording to word received in Med ford this morning at the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce from Jerrold Owen, adminis trator of the Oregon State De fense Council. Mr. Owen gave as his authority Rod Finney, execu tive secretary of the state sal vage committee. Mr. Owen pointed out that the matter had been much discussed in Oregon since the start of pub licity for the national drive, but that state officials were unwill ing to start another paper drive in any part of this state until de tailed plans were completed for its disposal Last On Cited Locally it is stated that tha last drive resulted in considerable fi nancial loss to some firms and much trouble to various organi zations due to the fact that after the paper had been collected there was no means of disposal. Several tons collected at that time are still stored away in base ments and warehouses, it is said, taking up valuable space and be coming a fire hazard. Those who participated in the last drive point out that the large cities near the plants which han dle the paper naturally are taken care of ahead of remote districts with the result that outlying dis tricts are often left with collec tions which are useless.
