Modoe ud (Utlro OoutlM Tlim MuiUu M Montlii Om Vw Weekend rEARFUL stories still trickle r Willamette vallev concernintr the "silver thaw" that vlrtuallv atoDued evervthinsr ; This story, one of the biggest weather Incidents In Ore gon m a quarter of a century, was never comprehensively told. At the time the freeze was on, the army had the lid clamped tightly on all weather news and not a word was orinted in the newspapers. They carried vague stories about trees falling down and service, but didn t say what under the army rule. ; By the time the military authorities would permit news about the thaw, it was old stuff to the Willamette valley people and their papers didn't go into the story in the way they would had it been current news. Not in this writer's newspaper experience in Oregon has there been such a big state story with so little coverage. The war was responsible. : Klamath men who happened to be in the valley during the misnamed thaw tell some remarkable things. They saw cross-arms on power and telephone poles actually broken off by the weight of the ice on the lines. They saw trees in orchards split down the trunk reports he did not see a single tree in the valley that had not been damaged in some way. A local man who visited Salem described the capitol building lawn, where every blade of grass wore a coat of ice and looked like (and was) an inverted icicle. ' Power, light and telephone service was cut off for hours, and people with old wood ranges in their houses. were the envy of their neighbors. Cooking with "canned heat" was a general practice. I Willamette valley people, among whom there is woeful ignorance about the country east of the Cascade mountains, got their newspaper news during the storm because the weather over here was better than that in the valley. Press service lines up the east side from Klamath Falls to The , Dalles and into Portland were intact, and news was routed around this way and back up through southern Oregon to the Willamette valley papers. We may have some cold .... weather oyer here, but this writer has never seen anything ' east of the. Cascades that paralyzed communications nd utility services like the Willamette valley's 1942 silver " thaw.: ;." . i I People given the responsibility of soliciting for defense savings pledges and purchases should avoid high pressure methods and implied threats. S One man who was soliciting some public employes for participation in a payroll allotment plan, was heard telling a Jwoman that those who do not join in the plan will be "in vestigated." Another defense savings promoter talked about "putting the finger" on people. ! This sort of thing creates a resentful attitude on the part of the public, and it is strongly disapproved by Andy Col- I Her, the county defense savings chairman. Persuasion is all right, but no threats. "Selling"1 is definitely approved as a method for defense savings promotion.- And there is something to sell. The nerxnn wTia nut his money in defense savings ment; ne is nor "giving" anything. But he is helping his country prosecute a war, supplying money when it is badly needed. And he is making a sound investment. J !

Jan. 17 All the most active warring na tions are beginning to feel the pinch of plane losses. The Japs had to withdraw their bombers from the Philip pines (virtually ceasing attacks on MacArthur) In order to make the current raids on Singapore. This Is a convincing Indication that while we may have under estimated the Jap air strength in the beginning, we are tend ing to overestimate it now. The Russians have air suprem acy over the nazis on their front, it is true, but only because they withdrew their planes from the Far East. Japan knows this and has been able to cut the wings of her home defense force to the fuselage for the Malayan cam paign. And the nazis lost their su premacy over the reds because they had to shift to Libya, Sic ily, Sardinia and the south Ukranian fronts. Their losses in Russia run 25 to 30 per cent of their total air force, and Goer ing's old command is now scat tered all around Europe. Yet the nazis have more than 4000 planes left and could replace their losses with three months' production, If they have the materials. This is where our swelling plane production will begin to bear weight NAZIS WANT MALTA A spectacular nazl air attack on Malta has been expected the past several days. It is looked upon as no more of a dress re hearsal for an invasion of En land, than was the similar con. quest of Crete. An entirely dif ferent formula would be used for England. The nazis want Malta for bet. ter reasons than rehearsing. That British stronghold sits astride the route from Italy or Greece to Libya, with a strong plane force which accompanies and warns the British fleet, refueling it from underground storaee. Malta has survived 1200 bomb-, lngs with its terrific concentra- tion of anti-aircraft guns. II it falls, the British will be able to get some ships around it back and forth through the Medi terranean, but 'only with erea-t danger. TYPHUS PLAGUE Reports that the devastatine lypnus nas reached Berlin are doubted here. There may be few cases, but the delousing sys tem ana sanitary conditions in the nazi capital make an epidem ic umiKely. Throughout War saw and Poland the disease is spreading, but It has not reached an epidemic stage. If the nazis are pushed back so fast that their sanitary facilities break down behind the lines, their army may suffer later ta the winter. Virulence of the disease les. In mild epidemics, the death rate has run below 25 per cent; In serious plagues, as high as 80 per cent, it spreads rapidly. While the body louse requires 14 days to Infect the victim, af ter the tenth day all lice on the victim become carriers. The lice collect on fur clothing (widely used by the German army) and on tables, furniture and chairs. The Russians are better ore. pared to fight the louse, through a long acquaintanceshiD. Prvl. ous infection also provides some immunity. REDS SLOWER What has happened on the Russian front can be measured more accurately upon the map TODAY end SUNDAY James Cagney "THE GREAT GUY" AND mm TIM HOLT "RIDING THE WIND' iM CONTINUOUS TOOV AND SUNDAY MOM MlM SIDE GLANCES WHY MA m& T.M. n.u.t.MT.Off. l-IT "If it weren't for my charge account here, I wouldn't come into the placet" than from the florid phrases of the communiques. Hitler's ad vance Into Russia averaged 400 miles, measuring from the orig inal Russo-Polish border (Minsk line.) The Russians have pushed him back an average of 40 miles (exactly that in the south, none at all north of Leningrad.) Only one tenth of nazi-con-quered territory, therefore, has yet been regained. LIMITED OBJECTIVES The red campaign is not an ambitious drive to destroy the German army or invade Ger many. Limited objectives are evident in the tactics employed. One is the relief of Leningrad. This would reopen valuable sup ply railroads behind the lines, push the Germans back beyond easy bombing range of Moscow (close-In their pursuit planes could heavily protect their bombers.) More important, it would allow the reds to clear the Finns from the shortest rail line to the White sea and open a sec ond route for our supplies. The Finns have cut the railway around Lake Onega. The second grand objective is to clear the Black sea to injure its supply lines. The Reds, fight ing up uirougn ine Crimea, are seeking to cut in behind the Ger man advance post between Mari upol and Taganrog (on the sea of Azov.) Relief of the naval base at Sevastopol is In line with this coastal clearance. Heaviest fighting of the rest of the winter will come in this southern region. It is no secret to the Germans that the Reds are planning a great new effort mere. Fighting on the Moscow front has already been conduct- ed in waist-deep snow.
