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

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.
County officers said further vio
lations would not be tolerated
and parents would be subject to
legal action.

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.
URGE CASH RESERVES
Chicago, Dec. 7. (U.PJ The
Illinois Manufacturers' associa
tion recommended today that the
federal revenues laws be amend
ed to allow manufacturing cor
porations to retain cash reserves
for use in reconversion from a
wartime to peacetime production.
