Most significant factor In the general situation was the Russian-reported statement of . a German captive, a Major Blttner of tho BOOth transport group, who pointed out that an American-British threat Is hanging over the German high command In the west and that hopes are not bright among German offic ers for a big spring offensive. This captive was said to have borne out previous Russian as sertions that Hitler's projected spring drive Is now a projected summer offensive. Thousands of encircled German troops have not been allowed to hav day of rest, ho declared. Eugene Varga, director of the international Institute of eco nomics and politics, declared In Pravda that the main force of tho German army no longer Is youth but reservists over 30 with families, an assertion that Is borne out by the prisoner which foreign correspondent have sacu.

Dutch quarters In London said German Field -Marshal Gerd von Runstedt was build ing up a nazl bicycle ormy In northern France and Belgium In defense against new British commando raids and a possible allied invasion attempt.

The night after a BBC broad cast brought word of the bomb ing of Tokyo one Japanese cor respondent could not keep his honorable self-restraint. During the early hours of the morning he rushed down the corridor of his hotel, carrying a copy of Pravda which told the story of tho bombing and calling to any one who would listen, "Look what they have done I hope you're satisfied." After half an hour of this shouting, some English-speaking resident whose sleep had been interrupted filled the hall with an even louder yeU. "Cut out that damn noise," he bellowed.

TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1942 1 Jap Camp Moved to New Be Disrupted This Year The Tulelake Japanese camp site was shifted a mile north- cast Tuesday morning, when soil and drainage conditions on the original grounds were found unsatisfactory. ' . Shift to the new location was accomplished almost without loss of . construction stride, Buildings already started on the old site will be used as tempo rary quarters for construction workers. The new site lies opposite the end of the peninsula, adjoining the east side of the highway. It is on a government lease now held by Liskey brothers, the land . being described by the reclamation bureau as "cheap pasture." , No Crop Disruption - Meanwhile, It was stated by bureau officials they had been Informed there will be no dis ruption of regular agricultural activity in the Tule lake basin this year through the location, of the camp there. B. E. Hayden, reclamation su perintendent, said that farmers in that area will go ahead with their crops as usual. He added that it will probably be too late for an agricultural program in connection with the camp by the time evacuees are actually moved into the area. ' The change to the new site was decided upon, it was learn ed, because the barracks on the old site would be on ground that would be mushy a part of the year, and because drainage was not satisfactory for installa tion of sanitary facilities. Firmer Ground The new site is on "gravelly" ground, it was stated, and should bo more satisfactory. It is about seven miles south of Tulelake, adjoining the Klamath Falls- Reno highway, and it includes about 800 acres.

Tokyo Cabinet Given Details on Raid : Made Saturday . By ROGER D. GREENE - ; Associated Press War Editor Japan launched an apparent "peace offensive" today a new air-raid alarms were reported to have sounded iu central . and western Japan and the Japanese cabinet received details on the damage inflicted by ' American bombers in Saturday's historic assaults on Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya and Kobe. While warning of the propa ganda danger, American offi cials have already discounted such an axis peace drive with the declaration that the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo bloc could not be trusted in a negotiated peace. -. The new air-raid alarms in Ja pan were the second since plane with the U. S. insignia spread flaming destruction and terror across a 1-000-mile trail on Sat urday. . . Coast Faces China A Berlin broadcast said the alarm sounded in the afternoon and was lifted In central. Japan by an all-clear at S p. m., Japa nese time a a. m. PWT). . Japan's west coast faces China, indicating that the planes may have come from- the Chi nese mainland. Imperial Tokyo headquarters said yesterday that some of the big U. S. bombers which took part in the raids Sat urday had "escaped" to bases in China. ;- . ; ; "For -central Japan, the all clear sounded about S p. - m., while the alarm remained in force for western Japan, espe cially for Kyushu," the broad cast said. Kyushu, one of the four main Islands of the Japanese Archi pelago, lies nearest to China and is the scene of the great Sasebo naval base, a teeming industrial belt and the port of Nagasaki. The Berlin broadcast did not say whether any bombs were dropped. Damage Belittled In Tokyo, Japanese cabinet ministers belittled the damage inflicted on Saturday's raids, as serting that the transportation system was "hardly disturbed," that the postal service was fully resumed soon after the planes left, and that Japanese life was affected only in a few instances. Signs of a possible Japanese . "peace offensive" cropped up in a Tokyo broadcast quoting Toyo hiko K a g a w a, Japan's best known Christian leader, as de claring: . , . "Prayers are being said daily tor an . early conclusion of the war and restoration of . peace throughout the world." Burning Railroad Bridge Collapses ' Under Box Cars THE DALLES, Ore.
