Because it in volves a problem that applies to nV?rW.math eludes heavy suburban development, such as Klamatn Sails, we are interested in the background. m'u. -i j -iich.,vt nn ke a number of other dis- tricts near Eugene, has refused to set up a fire district and make arrangements with the city fire department for protection and a financial contribution to its upkeep. The Glenwood district had been amply warned that t &uld expect no fire protection from Eugene. Hence i t 1s plain that technically ana legauy, u. , " ,7. 7" gene and Springfield were on sound ground in J to permit equipment to go to the fire, and there is no cause for shedding tears for the Glenwood People who refused to protect themselves against just such an emer gency. - . . . 1 On the other hand, Eugene newspapers point out that the fire might have spread toward the cities, developing into a major disaster. They further note that Eugene a couple of weeks ago sent fire equipment to Marcola, 20 miles away, when a mill burned. J The whole situation points directly to the problems that have arisen with heavy suburban development near cities throughout the land, calling for intelligent, eon structive consideration and action by all of those affected. Residents of these suburbs are living there chiefly be cause they want to escape city taxes. Those taxes provide the services which the suburban residents have foregone. It is not possible to have fire protection, sanitary pro tection, and so on, without paying for it Hence, the suburban residents themselves must concern themselves with these problems, if anything is to be done about them. It is possible for something to be done. Fire protec tion districts have been set up near some cities and, with costs distributed equitably, the cities have added to their fire equipment to give protection to the entire district. Had the Glenwood district cooperated in such a plan, its fire would have been quickly stopped by the Eugene fire department. i We do not believe it is healthy for the suburbs to look suspiciously on a nearby city, or for the city to look suspiciously on the suburbs. The men who get up at meetings and preach disunity and ill-will in the general community ought to be thrown out on their ears. They stand in the way of friendly, constructive consideration of community problems that must be solved through co operation and understanding. The city of Klamath" Falls is now formulating a policy on the question of sending the fire department out of the city limits. In general, this policy provides that equip ment will be sent in case of a major industrial fire, when the plant provides all the crew and equipment except the pumper and operator. A general conflagration, threat ening property inside the city, no doubt would receive the attention of the fire department. Fire Chief Keith Am brose is taking up with the underwriters just what would be the effect if city fire equipment is absent from the city. It is planned to write the Klamath Falls policy defi nitely into an ordinance, and publish it so that there will be no misunderstanding. . . , This policy does not embrace a solution to the entire fire protection problem in the suburbs. It cannot do so until some coordinated program for fire-fighting and dis tribution of costs is worked out. It is time for sound lead ership, both outside the city and inside, to be giving this matter attention. We don't want any repetition of the Glenwood disaster here.

SATURDAY "Murd.r Among Dial Mil 1 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 Ber- 1 tn naara H I ,n.n ora i i h H on recent morning about the difficult Russian roads which had been encountered by der fuehrer's fighters the previous day. If they had known an American idiom they could have more truthfully called it a very, very tough road, even though it was a four lane route. That day German advance units bad thrust their way through within 100 miles of Moscow on that road in the cen ter of the Russian lines. The units were panzer divisions which had circled around Smo lensk. Two divisions (30,000 men) were moving toward the soviet capital. What made the road difficult from there on, in all directions, including back, was the fact that the Russians surrounded the force, bottled it completely, cut it deeply off from the German lines around Smolensk. But within 48 hours the Ger mans made a characteristically desperate and sensational move to rescue the isolated panzers. They threw 30 to 40 divisions (150,000 to 200,000 men) In to a rescue drive. This was cat and dog circular warfare such as no military eye had seen in this world before. Large Russian units, over 150, 000 strong, had been surrounded by Germans in a pocket this side of Smolensk; then 30,000 Ger mans were surrounded In a pocket on the other side. WORRY The Moscow communique an nounced the day the Germans were surrounded that the whole second Hitler drive had failed. Next day, 48 hours after the drive was supposed to have fail ed, the reds said it was being brought near to a halt. Working back that way, it seemed, dos- slble they might eventually an nounce the drive bad started. The incident has shaken gov ernment authorities here into serious consideration of the ef fects of Moscow war propaganda on the American public. A few weeks ago everyone put a ques tion mark behind all claims from Moscow on any subject. Since men, Hope that the reds could win, and end the war, has risen so high in every American breast that the American head is ac cepting as wholehearted truth the same brand of propaganda it formerly recognized as such. It may turn out all right if the reds accomplish the improb able, but the government of ficials naturally are beginning to worry about the effects now on the defense program, upon defense legislation and wonder now far the depressing reaction will spread here if the yet unde cided battle goes suddenly the wrong way. REVERSAL ' Mr. Roosevelt's well-balanced argument to congress for price controls really marked a re versal of government policy. It was never announced in so many words that the government had been letting both prices and wages (solely of the union var iety) drift upward, but this was the known effect of its various policies on strikes, wage in creases, farm prices, and mild restraining pressure on industrial prices. The new step means a price-wage level desirable to the Beck's Bakery POPEYE SATURDAY MORNING 10 O'CLOCK ' SOCK HITLER and America's Defense!

OREGON government has been reached and the celling is to be built at this point. Only economic question being raised in or out of the govern merit is whether such a vast cell ing without holes can be built. Resistance has centered in what the headlines call "the farm bloc" in congress, but close in spection will disclose that the most talkative are not the farm ers of the bloc, but the infla tionists, such as Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma. Not much opposition will be encountered on the seneral on- position if Mr. Roosevelt's ex planation of price inflation sinks in, namely: every time a price goes up, it is a cut in salary for everyone in the country, be cause everybody's salary will buy just that much less. There may be plenty of argument, however. on how the result is to be ac complished. When the . highest officials here intimated the Japs could not last six months under block ade, they had in mind, oil. Since 1036 the Japanese government has required all importers and refiners to keep a supply on hand to cover six months normal consumption. Tokyo financed construction of tanks to cache this supply. The Chinese spy system in Japan (which is good) indicates additional storage pro vided in recent months, will af ford a year's supply at present consumption rate, or 6 months in an all-out war. The Japs clearly have oil for 6 months to a year, if their op erations are not extended. Of course, their supplies have not yet been cut off, only threatened. AU that the Dutch East Indies and other governments (includ ing us) have done is merely to put them on a permit restriction basis through which the Japs may or may not get their oil. depending on how agreeable they maxe tnemseives.
