SET NEW RECORD
Jackson County will receive
$74,400 from National Forest
receipts for the fiscal year
which ended June 30, 1944, it
was announced today by Karl
L. Janouch, local Forest Super
visor. This payment represents
Jackson County's share of the
25 per cent of the receipts of
the Rogue River National For
est which is paid to the counties
each year on the basis of Na
tional Forest acreages, in lieu
of taxes for roads and schools.
The payment, an Increase of
$45,000 over last year, is high
est in the history of the Forest.
It is abnormally high because
of the war demand for timber,
Mr. Janouch said, and there is
little likelihood of maintaining
such high payments during the
post-war period. He believes,
however, that the planned sus
tained yield cutting operations
will keep the payments at a
substantial level throughout fu
ture years.
Of the 31 counties In Oregon,
Jackson County receives the
third highest amount, larger
payments being made to Klam
ath and Lake counties. Jackson
County receives approximately
one-ninh of the total payment
to Oregon, because of the high
receipts of the Rogue River Na
tional Forest.
CIO INSECURE IS
AFL ASSURANCE
Washington. Aug. 22 (U.H
An American Federation of La

that the Congress of Industrial
Organizations Is "basically in

withstand "tough going."
"That is why it 13 trying to
buy this election,' 'Philip Pearl,
editor of the AFL Weekly News
Service, said in an editorial on
the CIO political action com
mittee. "The only hope for postwar
survival of the CIO, its strate
gists figure, is the election of a
national administration so com
mitted to the CIO that it will
use the machinery of the gov
ernment of the United States to
support and perpetuate the CIO
during a period when nothing
else could hold it together."

UM CANADIAIN
CAPTURES 160
Trun, France, Aug. 21. (U.R)
A lone Canadian soldier, Pvt.
Earl McAllister of Hamilton,
Ont., captured 160 fully armed
German soldiers during the re-
cent battle of "The Gap" it was
disclosed today.
McAllister was driving a cap
tured German amphibious car
bringing in wounded Nazis when
six German soldiers attempted
to cross the road In front of
him.
He fired at them and they sur
rendered. Then a group of French fight
ers told him there were about
30 Germans hiding In a nearby
woods.
McAllister drove the captured
vehicle toward the woods until
other Canadians mistook him for
the enemy and opened fire. He
proceeded on foot. As he neared
the woods he fired a burst over
the heads of the Germans and 25
surrendered. He continued his
search until he found 60 more
Germans.
Further down , the road he
found an armored car accom
panied by two smaller cars and
60 or 70 German infantry.
McAllister ordered the crew to
surrender. The Germans imme
diately began laying down their
rifles, pistols and grenades.
CHINESE SAY RUSSIA

Chungking, Aug. 22 (U.R)
The Chinese newspaper Nation

foreign office, predicted today
that Russia would join other
United Nations in their war
against Japan "in the near fu
ture." The Herald, the only English
language daily in Free China,
made its prediction after la
menting the necessity of hold
ing two separate conferences at
Dumbarton Oaks in view of the
fact that Russia has not de
clared war on Japan and has
not participated in conferences
at which China was represent
ed. Sir Ferninando Gorges was

gallons of water or dust with
dusting sulfur. When dusting,
use from Vi to A pound of aul.
fur per tree.
