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

Editorial Correspondence
Portland. 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

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.

Leaden skies today, but no rain, and no wind very mild and

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.

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-

greatest possible vlctorv. It'mnv

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.

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.

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.,

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.
