Of the fighting In southern
' Russia, Curtin said the fate of
the Russians was in the balance
and "the fall of Russia would be
a crushing blow to our cause-
such a calamity would strength
en Japan's position still further
in the Pacific and against China."
Recent Japanese reverses in
, ,the Pacific, he said, were "fru
strating" from Japan's point of
view, but far from decisive.
Simultaneously in Wellington,
New Zealand, Prime Minister
Peter Fraser and United States
Minister Patrick J. Hurley is
sued warnings against over-
optimism on the part of the
United Nations.
Middle East Vital
Curtin said that complete
setback for the allies in the Mid
dle East would gravely affect
Australia because it would give
the enemy command of the Suez
and the gateway to India, leav
ing the Indian ocean open for
enemy approach to Australia.
"But for recent merciful de
liverance, the enemy might be
in Australia. We had a deliver
ance like Dunkerque."
Curtin referred evidently to
the battle of the Coral tea.
. "Submarine warfare against
the allies has reached a high in
tensity and shipping losses, I tell
you bluntly, are beyond our pres
ent annual replacement capa
city," Curtin added.

SALEM, June 17 VP) The
crap rubber drive in Oregon,
which will last two weeks, will
produce about 3000 tons, or from
79 to 100 carloads, Claude I.
Sersanous, chairman of the state
salvage committee, estimated to
day. .
; "The way the people of Ore

for scrap rubber Is not only en
couraging, but Is confirming the
fact that the people generally
now are realizing that America

life," Sersanous said.
Disabled Veterans
Demand Voice in
Post-War World
. McMTNNVILLE, June 17 VP)
Oregon Disabled American Vet
erans demanded yesterday that
they be given a voice in shaping
the post-war world.
One resolution passed at the
close of the 21st annual state
convention asked that one of
their members be allowed to
"sit at the conference table when
the United Nations, dictate the
terms of peace."
Another proposed to abolish
in the future "the right of Jap
anese, American-born or other,
to own or contract any property
or business for material gain."
Next year's convention was
Toted to Klamath Falls.

PREMIER CURTIN of Aus
tralia sounds a wurnlng note
today.
He doesn't like the news from
Libya which, he says, is bad.
If the allies fail to hold the
Middle East, Australia will be
endangered (by way of Suez) and
the war against Japan can only
bo won if Australia is held.
And, he adds, the enemy sub
marines are a REAL THREAT,
destroying ships faster than we
can build them.
His warning there has a point.
It makes little difference how
much we produce if we can't get
it to WHERE IT IS NEEDED.
Ship are required for that.

Reports from the Middle East
Indicated that American pilots
and planes were fighting at
present within the framework
of the RAF while gaining expe
rience, but that later they would
operate as an entirely separate
force sharing assignments with
the RAF.

AN ALLIED AIRDROME IN
THE LIBYAN DESERT, Juno 17
VP) The United States army's
b 1 g Liberator (Consolidated)
bombers were credited tnrlav
with scoring 35 direct bomb hits
on two Italian battleships in
operations with the RAF in the
central Mediterranean and their
commander said "it was like
shooting fish in a barrel."
The' United States fliers de
livered their first blow In the
Mediterranean war Monday,
MaJ. Alfred F. Kalbercr, who led
the flight, said.
They concentrated first on the
two Italian capital ships and
turned their bombsights onto ac
companying cruisers and de
stroyers only after hitting one
battleship 20 times and the oth
er 15.
In addition they set one cruis
er afire and damaged a destroy
er.
Kalberer, a former Civil Air
line pilot from LaFayette, Ind.,
said every one of the .American
bombers got back safuly from
the attack.
He disclosed that the Ameri
can bombers flew to the attack
so high the crew used oxygen;
that a British observer accom
panied each Liberator; that the
Americans reached the scene
first and attacked before British
planes arrived; that the Italian
fleet was prevented from even
coming within range of the con
voy it set out to attack; that the
two damaged Italian warships
were left so bard hit that they
probably would require repairs
which would take four to five
months.
British Follow Up
The American attack was fol
lowed up Immediately by British
torpedo-carrying planes which
sank the cruiser which the
Americans had set afire, it was
disclosed.
The British torpedo bombers.
however, ran into the brunt of
the anti-aircraft fire as the Ital
ians got their defenses into oper
ation belatedly, and only two of
the British planes reached home
undamaged.
The squadron leader said the
bombers passed over a British
convoy whose escort vessels
opened fire at sight of strange
looking planes which they did
not recognize. They kept shoot
ing until halted by signal.
