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 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
! Did you ever think of making a note of the serial num

property.

Behi
By Paul MELLON
WASHINGTON. 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.

"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.
