Press dispatches tell of an unspeakable atrocity by British troops in Belgium. A defiant Nazi brat, 16, in a captured vil lage, armed with a rifle took a shot at an Allied tank. A sol dier shortly afterwards leaped from the vehicle, seized the boy .and administered a much-needed spanking. For further pun ishment they made the Teutonic upstart stand in the barracks corner and wait for his supper. They did not take him seriously. He expected to be shot but re ceived a humlnlatlng paddling, and considerable ruffling of his dignity. It was what he needed all the time.

Oregon, January 16 prepared to see new and Improved service on the "Unlimited" to Portland irv the way of a cafe-club car Instead of a lunch-counter in the day coach. The startling news came via Arthur Cannon, Fluhrer manager who recently joined the navy and came up here to retort for duty, with the hours beguiled en route by such lux urious and unexpected accommodations, which he hoped would receive such favorable publicity that the S. P. would be encour aged to continue same. No such luck however. The same lunch counter in the same dingy coach. , We did learn, however, from there is such cafe-car service between Medford and Portland every other night the reason being the cafe-day-coaches are be ing repainted and revamped. As these cafe cars will be taken off they wouldn't pay as "regular service," remarked the colored boy gravely. The colored boy has reacted to the S. P. Indoctrination so readily and favorably we predict he can have his S. P. job as long as he wants itl Arrived on time in the dark fresh and vigorous as if it -had never rained before in the Rose City. Mr. and Mrs. William Gates were on the train, and your correspondent rode up to the Benson with them they continued on up Broadway to the Imperial, wmcn Hostelry BUI nas patro nized for some 20 or 30 years, thanks to Phil Metschan's special service to old friends from Mrs. Metschan's birthplace Jackson County.

Really a very healthy looking and vigorous delegation, clear-eyed, pink-cheeked, and we might add well-dressed for plain country boys from the wide-open spaces of Medford, Ashland and Talentl For the benefit of those who ed last November the names are We have a sneaking suspicion the southern part of the state For nine years the undersigned has been a member of the State Board of Higher Education, this trip to Portland ending his term of service. It doesn't seem nine years or half of itl Certain parties have been kind enough to ask us to accept a reappointment, but we believe a nine year term - Is long enough for any one (too long for SOME)! It is good for the Board to time to time, and yet it is also good to have a certain permanence continuity. The men who drew up the measure establishing a unified system of education in Oregon were exceedingly wise. They prescribed long terms for without cause, thus removing the Board from political pressure. A prohibition of reappointment would not be desirable; but in this department judgment reappointment should be the excep tion rather than the practice. Walking up Broadway last night saw the imposing figure of Jack Matlack, dinner coat and all, in the lobby of the Parker B-Way theater. Congratulated Jack on his most recent honorar ium chosen first citizen by the Junior C of C for 1045 as we recall it, It was another honor for the former Craterlan gate keeper and an Important one. Getting thus far paid 80 cents the double bill Deanna Durbin in "Can't Help Singing" and someone with a cleft chin and 1800 opera cloak in a horrible affair entitled "Enter Arsene Lupin." We have seen Arsene Lupin or more but never got invlegled you us NEVER agalnl If any further argument were needed against double features this bill would have been a clincher but none needed thank you as far as the undersigned Is concerned. If Deanna had been on first we might have felt better but we were unfortunate enough to get in as this Indigestible bit of celluloid ham started out and well, sorry Jack but we couldn't stick itl Had. It been the Deanna of say five years ago, we might have endured the torture for her sake, but not the Deanna of soubrette ways and too much Up stlckl ( ' Why double-features are continued is still a mystery to this department. We have never found a CUSTOMER in favor of them and yet they are still with us, for some weird reason hav ing to do apparently with Hollywood contracts , and high-flnancel It Just shows that in the movie world and more and more in the rest of the world as far as that is concerned the customer is no longer always right. Or if he is, he doesn't get what he. asks for or what he wants. He gets what he is given and he better LIKE itl We will say this for Jack, however, he doesn't mix pop-corn with itl Leaden skies today, but no rain, and no wind very mild and rather restful In fact. We were right regarding the effect of . withholding details of U. S. losses In that German offensive, as far as the public re action Is concerned. Given no details the popular imagination went to work and envisioned all sorts of losses and horrors to American armies. So when the mere was a general reeling or relief casualties of 40,000 and only a bit over 4000 dead? That would have been a terrific Jolt on December 18th last, but today Uncle Sam takes it in his stride without a qualm or a quiver much less of a blow than he thought. A Portland newspaper man and a keen observer maintains as lar to a pessimistic extreme as it .went to an extreme of optt mlsm before that Von Rundstedt smash. It th AmaHr-an unv Ve suspect he Is 100 right. AT Promotion of two Camp White officers was announced this morning by Col. John R. Young, post commander. Sec ond Lt. Frank A. Prime, who became the camp's army ex change officer last June, was advanced In rank to first lieu tenant. Lt. Prime, whose home is In Seward, Neb., came to Camp White in June of 1943 from the Presidio In San Fran cisco. In December of that year he married Miss Jane Moffltt of Medford and they live at No. 3 Holly Court. In the other promotion First Lt Lawrence Spauldlng of the station hospital was advanced to captain. His home Is in Long Beach, Calif., and he came to Camp White from Camp Beale in August of 1043.

Mrs. Miller left for Salem Jan. 8, News Behind The News By Paul Malloo Washington, Jan. 18 The MacArthur Invasion of the Philippines showed in its first stages the mark of a great work of military art. : The choice of Llngayen gulf as the spot to strike was not sur pr i s i n g. The Japs them selves used that area pri marily in their initial drive for conquest. Yet they were not ready for us when we came ashore. Their artillery was de ficient and they had not placed mines in sufficient quantities for adequate defense. o o o . MACARTHUR plainly feinted " them out of strong posi tional defense there before he went In. Our preliminary move ments into the islands south of Luzon naturally led them to ex pect power landings at nearby points on the south coast rather than from the northeast, the di rection of Japanese strongholds. at Singapore, in Burma, China. Perhaps they also figured MacArthur would not use an avenue which they themselves had chosen, even though lt af fords the best way through the widest possible Dlalns to Manila. At any rate they were fooled, completely. . , . The grand overall straterv of the invasion was just as master ful. The navy practically seized the sea, devastating much of the shipping upon which the Jap torces on L.uzon must relv for supplies ana reinforcements. ut course, we do hot hear about the Jap ships which got mrougn, ana there must have been some, but the total sink ings reported officially by the navy are sufficient to bolster MacArthur's warnlns to thA Jan. in front of him that they were cm on ana would have to fight with what they have. o o.o JLACARTHUR at once forecast his big battle would come on the plains In front of Manila and this may mean at any point up to ine city. The Japs may have been holding some power back for this last stand, but there is reason to doubt it. Indeed, the facts suggest MacArthur cut off part of their force on the northward side of his lines. The strongest opposi tion he met in the first week Was from the north and north east of the Lineaven nron tint from the direction of Manila. niso we got far enough in land in the initial operations to seize numerous areas suitable for plane landing fields. Thus our airpower is sure to increase, while the air strength of the Japs is certain to diminish. They have been trying to sneak some aircraft in from Formosa by air, but the Formosa fields (as our communiques dally have report ed) have taken continuous ter rific assaults. In this connec tion also, the American strategy appears to have been well con ceived in advance. In war, strategy saves lives. The fight you do not have to mane Decause you have out- maneuverea your foe is the greatest possible vlctorv. It'mnv not get the headlines of the nara-iougm battles, but lt gets juu wnere you want to go, e e THE overall strategic outlook in Europe has greatly Im proved biso the Dast few dav The opening of the Russian drive will stretch Hitler's weakened lines tighter and offer the op portunity for a breakthrough at any point If our punching power on all fronts can be main tained at a miximum pressure, some place will have to aive. Estimates have been publish ed that the reds have l.son nnn In their drive, and they prob ably have, if the full extent of ine front is considered from East Prussia down to Czechoslo vakia. But much of our news about the size of this winter effort has been coming from the uermans. The Russians have held back generally on news there as else where, except for one import ant suggestive break. It Stalin himself who announced the portion of the drive south of Warsaw and Warsaw has now been captured. The scope of the drive will be shown in the last analysis only by developments. The read ing of signs before they become conclusive seldom contributes to sound military understanding, as signs are erected for the pur pose of deception. One thing is certain. Around here earlier there was notice able apprehension In some quar ters that the Russians might get to Berlin before we do. Now all anyone wants Is for someone to get there.

San Jacinto. Photo by Stanley Troutman, NEA-Acme photographer for War Picture Foot Letter From Washington , By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member of Congress From Oregon Washington, D. C The prin cipal national problem now is manpower. Fighting manpower is needed on both sides of the world as the intensity of the war increases. War production man power is needed to provide more shells, more bombs, more small arms ammunition, and to speed up our own robot bomb pro gram. The recommendations contain ed in the Byrnes report, coupled with the emphasis given this subject in the president's mes sage to congress on January e. will undoubtedly lead to specific action. Military age men classi fied as 4-F will be inducted into the army in accordance with very drastically lowered physi cal standards for limited service. Under orders already issued. Job-jumpers now classified in 2-A and 2-B are to be reclassi fied and inducted. A bill has been introduced to Induct 20,000 or more army nurses under se lective service. Some of these things can be accomplished under existing law. Some new legislation will be necessary. It is safe to say that action on necessary legisla tion will be prompt. , Actually most of the things sought to be accomplished by a national service law will be In effect as soon as the above men tioned steps have been taken. It is quite likely though that an all-embracing service act will be taken Up by congress early in this session. o o o THE transfer of Dr. J. A. (Al) Hall, outstanding scientist of the forest service here, to Portland to become director of the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range ex periment .station is important news to everyone concerned with the lumber and logging in dustry. Dr. Hall has won in temational fame for his work on the development and im provement of processes for mak ing alcohol from wood waste. His work was of great value in the successful effort to secure approval for the construction of the large alcohol-from-sawdust plant now being built at Spring field, Ore. As director of the experiment station, Dr. Hall's work will contribute enormous ly toward the solution of wood utilization and forestry problems in our area. Stephen Wyckoff, who has done an outstanding job as di rector of the northwest station, has been tarnsf erred to the sta tion at Berkeley, Calif., as its director., ooo THE war department cannot make up its mind what to do with Camp White. It does not know whether to use It for troop concentrations prior to the step ping up of the offensive against the Japanese; whether to use it for prisoners of war; or whether it will be needed for new In ductees under the stepped up selective service program. Meanwhile, the navy depart ment Is very anxious, and I mean VERY anxious, to obtain the hospital at Camp White for use as a navy hospital, but the army will not release it. This splendid 1500 bed hos pital facility, complete with the finest of modern equipment, is Idle and has been Idle for many months. The army needs more hospital beds, but needs them in other parts of the country Under Its policy of hospitalizing men as near their homes as pos sible, the army has not yet found it necessary to use the Camp White hospital. ooo "KEEPING Livestock Healthy" Is the title of the agri culture yearbook issued in 1942.

In the closing hours of the last congress $15,000,000 was appropriated for this purpose. The program is now in final conference stage. Eugene has applied for 100 units, Lebanon 50 and Roseburg 60.
