Roy Rogers seems to be having
a bit of trouble as peacemaker in
this scene from "The Man From
Oklahoma," with Gabby Hayes
opening a four-day engagement
at the Rialto tomorrow. "Girls
on Probation" starring Ronald
Reagan and Jane Wyman is the
companion feature.
I knew the minute I entered
the yard of Red and Ella, my
neighbors, that something pretty
Important had happened. Red
had on his dark green hat and
the sweater which matches it.
Red never wears these except on
Sundays and paydays. Since
this was neither, I asked him
how come.
Ella's face was still a trifle
pale, the littlest of the five chil
dren being but a month old.
But now her face flushed with
excitement and she caroled,
"We've bought a farml"
I knew they'd planned to do
this for a time but now it had
happened, my first thought was
a selfish one how would I ever
get along without them. Sud
denly Red's hugeness and Ella's
tlnlness were inexpressably dear.
"Is it far from here?" I asked.
"No, it isn't far you know
the place the old Adams farm,"
and Ella's voice lilted out each
syllable, her words winged and
bright with Joy.
Well that place wasn't so far
and I said I'd ride over on Jerry
eve- so often. But I rememb
ered there was no house on the
place that is unless you count
ed the old milk house, as the
arm nouse had been burned a
few years before and tlio nl.-.
deserted ever since.
But Ella said that Red would
pui new underpinnings under

only be reached by way of a lad
der. No matter what plans for
the future mother and daddy
might have, for Sonsy that lad
der to the attic was her stairway
to the stars.

With the Third Fleet in Saga

ands of Japanese thronged the
white beaches of Katase today
to watch this triumphant fleet
at anchor in Sngami Bay, south
of Tokyo.
As the afternoon waned the
crowds thinned, leaving a few
scattered bathers swimming In
the surf.
Our anchorage lies at the bend
of the bay, where the Sagami
Peninsula reaches down from
the main headline of Honshu Is
land. It is a thickly populated
region, heavily built up along
the coast with homes, beach
houses and summer resorts.
Strung around the bend and
running into each other are the
towns of Chignsaki, Katase, Ku
rayama and Hnyama.
Looking lnt the glaring lnte
afternoon sun, I can see shining
yellow walls and the green-tiled
roof and tower of the summer
Imperial palace of Hnyama.
which will become Gen. Douglas
MacArthurs headquarters alter
his arrival.
From here I can see bathhous
es and cottages nestled under
cliffs. The shoreline resembles
the northern California coast.
Fluffy, cream-colored clouds
obscured Fuji-yama most of the
time. When gusts of wind whip
ped tho clouds away, we could
see the snowless, smoke slopes of
the sacred mountain only two
miles from our anchorage.
Katase is only eight miles
over the green, wooded bluffs
from Yokosuka naval base,
which our marine amphibious
troops will occupy Thursday.

VISITS CASTLE
OF
Oslo. Aug. 28 (U.R) The
court and jury at the treason
trial of former puppet Premier
Vldkun Quisling took a day off
from the courtroom yesterday to
Inspect Quisling's Gimle castle at
Oslofjord and his "eagle nest" at
Asker
The prosecution has charged
that Quisling bought and fuiN
nished the two residences with
funds stolen from the public
treasury and Individual citizens.
Resumption of the trial was
postponed to Wednesday after
doctors recommended an extra
day's rest for Quisling. They ex
amined his head following Satur
day's session but found nothing
seriously wrong.
A Swedish broadcast said yes
terday that former Relchsmlnis
ter Alfred Rosenberg, Nazi Jew
baiter who introduced Quisling
to Adolf Hitler, might be flown
here from Nurnberg to testify
for the crown.
Rosenberg's diary and a sworn
statement already have been ad
mitted as evidence. Court circles
declined comment on the report
that he might appear In person.
Meantime all trial testimony
and documents were being trans
lated Into English for study by
lustioe Robert H. Jackson, chief
American prosecutor of Nazi war
criminals, i.i connection with the
forthroming trials of German
war criminals.

Steering Comm. Lays Ad
vertising Plans Believed
Necessary to Draw Trade
Salem, Ore., Aug. 25 U.R)
The end of the war and the re
lease of gasoline has thrown the
business of advertising Oregon
to tourists into high gear.
Several weeks ago Governor
Earl Snell said: "The tourist
trade can be made Oregon's top
industry." Taking the gover
nor's statement as a keynote,
several promotional organiza
tions have started the machinery
rolling to attract visitors to the
Oregon country.
Among these organizations is
the governor's 80-man state
tourist promotion committee,
comprising members of nearly
every group in the state inter
ested in tourist trade.
At a meeting recently with
Governor Snell, a steering com
mittee of the promotional organ
ization laid' preliminary plans
for an advertising campaign
which they believe is necessary
to attract tourists ,to Oregon.
First step, the committee
agreed, is to advertise the idea
to Oregonians themselves to re
vive "traditional Oregon courte
sy." Hotels and auto courts as
well as other tourists' facilities j
must be repaired or replaced,
the committee said. Suggestions '
were made that tourist camps be 1
designed In western style to
create a distinctive atmosphere. ;
Taking care of the tourist af
ter he arrives in the state will
be a greater advertising boon
than a boxcar of travel folders. 1
Another point on which the
steering committee agreed is
that advertising campaigns must
be coordinated. By this they im
ply that a single agency should
be designed to prepare and con
tract advertising In publications
as well as other types of adver
tising. The governor suggested
that motion pictures be used to i
induce tourists to the Beaver
state.
Oregon's existing "tourist In
dustry" is valued at approxim
ately $50,000,000, and Governor
Snell says, this can be doubled
or even tripled. But it takes
money to conduct a campaign of
this scope and the committee
now is pondering the question of
how to finance the scheme.
Something may develop along
i this line when the state highway
commission' tourist travel ad
visory committee meets in mid
September with the steering
committee to Jointly study the
situation.
Meantime, hotels and resorts
In all parts of the state report
"conjestcd tourist traffic."
