E TOP PLACE BIO (By United Press) The Oakland Acorns may make a strong bid for the Paci fic Coast league starting tonight when they open a series with the sixth-place San Francisco Seals while Portland and Seattle, the two top clubs, try to kill off each other. Oakland, now four games off the pace in fourth place, has one of the strongest pitching staffs in he league. The offense department is led by two players who have turned down chances to play in the major leagues Les Scarsella and Jake Caulfield. The eight-game series at Seals Stadium will be highlighted by the appearance of Sad Sam Gib son against his former team mates. Gibson was released by San Francisco after years of brilliant hurling and feels he has enough stuff left to gain NEW I - i ii some measure of revenge against Lefty O'Doul's men. Portland holds only a one half game margin over the second-place Seattle club which has won 16 out of 18 games in recent weeks. The improving Hollywood Stars entertain the Los Angeles Angels and the Sacramento Solons invade San Diego in the other eight-game series. wagnerTPage T CHIP IN -TITLE BOUT "Gorgeous" George Wagner, self-styled toast of the coast and former coast light-heavyweight champion, will face Georges Du- sette, current wearer of the dia dem, in the six round main event of the weekly wrestling card at Medford armory Thurs day night.

'SUICIDE' BOMBS OF JAPS COSTLY Melbourne, May 29 (U.R) Japan's latest secret weapon, 1 ' It of HA The' above statement gives you an idea of the enormous volume of guns, ammunition, food and medical supplies still needed to finish the Japs. To produce mountains of material takes money your money in War Bonds. This year there will be only two War Bond drives, not three. But only by buying more bonds during the 7th War Loan can two drives take the place of last year's three. Almost as much money is needed this year as last to fight the war. When peace comes you'Jl be glad yojahave the flying "suicide bomb," has cost the lives of 332 Japanese fliers since it was first used against American shipping off UKinawa last March, radio Tokyo said today. Tokyo identified the new sui cide corps as the "Jinral," or di vine thunder squadrons, whose sole mission is to crash into enemy shipping or ground tar gets. The weapon, which American naval correspondents observed and reported some time ago, is a small, explosive-packed plane launched from larger aircraft. Semi-official American accounts indicated the flying bombs have a one-man suicide crew and are capable of very high speeds. NATIOFlS TO TO OWNS OCEAN OIL r Washington, May 29 U.R) The government moved today to find out exactly who owns the oil deposits under the ocean just off the U S. coastline. Ownership of these submerged deposits has been a subject of controversy for many years. Attorney-General Francis Bid- die announced that the Depart ment of Justice has filed a suit in the U. S. District Court at Los Angeles to enjoin the Pacific Western Oil Corp., from extract ing oil in -the Elwood Oil Field, off the California coast near Santa Barbara. The company Is operating under a lease issued by the state. The suit will be a test case to establish rights of the national government to petroleum depos its between the point of low tide and the three-mile offshore lim it, Biddle said. The U. S. will claim that it acquired all submerged deposits in the so-called "marginal sea" by the treaty of 1848 in which Mexico ceded California to this country, he explained. The claim will hold that ownership of the deposits was not trans ferred to the state by vir'il:e of its admission to the union.
