PAGE TWO RED LANDSLIDE OF (Continued From Page One) lean anti-tank units and plane. Reinforcements It was the first mention of American ground forces such as the anti-tank units in this sec tor. A spokesman said the axis tanks apparently were unloaded at Sousse, where the road from Tripoli is menaced by the allied thrust, and there was nothing to MILES GROZNY Menaced OH center. indicate that they represented part of Marshal Rommel's forces withdrawn from Tripolitania. Battlefront dispatches and the Moscow communiques gave this account of the long" eastern front: Reds Roll On ' Caucasus The Russians press- ed northwest and west on the heels of German troops retreat ing from Mozdokr and Malgobek, recapturing "several more popu lated places." The Moscow war bulletin said "the enemy is suf fering heavy losses." Mozdok, 60 miles northwest of Grozny, was a major trophy of the axis drive toward the oil fields last August. Kalmyck steppes and Lower Don The red army thrust deeper into nazi positions on a fan-shaped front from the Don, across the Stalingrad-Tikhoretsk railway into the Kalmyck waste lands. Allied Air Might Northwest of Moscow The Russians thrust westward be yond recaptured Velikie Luki, long an anchor of the nazi line, and reached Novosokolniki, 70 miles from the Latvian border.! In a striking display of grow ing allied air might in Tunisia, American and British planes shot down 28 enemy aircraft and damaged 34 "others over the weekend.- Mot one of the Fortresses was lost, although perhaps 32 took part in the Tunis attack.

'' Ambassador Joseph' C. Grew informed the state department on January 27, 1941, of reports that Japan planned the surprise attack in case of "trouble" with the United States. Apparently the Japanese gov ernment did not know the American ambassador had got winu 01 11s. designs, for a few months later it began urging 011 me siaie department a plan to bring President Roosevelt and Premier Prince Konoye to- geiner BDoard a Japanese war ship in the Pacific for a "frank exchange of views." Japanese Ambassador Kichisa bura v Nomura broached the subject to Secretary Hull on August 8, when the presence of Japanese troops In French Indo China was complicating the al ready strained relations be tween Japan and the United States. "The ambassador then in quired" says the White Book, "whether it might be possible to arrange for a meeting of the' responsible heads of the two governments to discuss means 01 adjusting relations between the two nations."

When in Medtord Stay at HOTEL HOLLAND Thoroughly Modern Joe and Anna Earlay Proprietors EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) Germans "still show no signs of withdrawing from their en dangered advance points, main taining FIERCE resistance on all sectors under attack." VV7HILE we're at it, let's give the Russians a hand for this frank admission. It strengthens our confidence in their news re ports. It suggests also that their faith in their own offensive power is so great that they do not hesitate to admit that the Germans are still putting up a stubborn fight. TN the news from the rest of the world today, we have to do. considerable reading between the lines if we are to get a real istic picture. In northern Tunisia, our air force attack CONCENTRA TIONS of German tanks at Sousse, on the Mediterranean coast nearly 100 miles south of Tunis. On their return to their base, they report that these tanks had apparently been landed from an axis CONVOY instead of be ing a part of Rommel's advance guard. That indicates again that the axis is getting more or less con stant reinforcements from across the Mediterranean, THE dispatches tell of heavy allied air attacks on Tunis and Bizerte, but add that axis fighter and anti-aircraft resist ance is HEAVY as heavy, it is suggested, as at Brest when the two . German battleships were sheltered there and the British were trying to bomb them to destruction. Again we learn by indirection of considerable axis strength in Tunisia. MEWS from the Solomons to- 1. mfSCA - 1A . ...... A on the surface. The trap is slowly closing on the Buna Japs. We're bombing the Jap airfield at Munda. But we learn from a navy communique of a Jap destroyer force that has been scuttling about in the Solomons ' area. bombed from time to time by our planes, but finally appearing off Guadalcanal, where they were attacked by our motor tor pedo boats. From another dis patch we learn that the Jap artillery " on Guadalcanal is ACTIVE again for the first time in weeks. The natural conclusion is that these Jap destroyers got rein forcements and supplies ashore on Guadalcanal. T isn't intended here to cast discredit on or shake con fidence in the news we're given. The point is that we simply HAVE to learn how to READ THE NEWS and how to draw conclusions from what we read. We can't just swallow the headlines whole and let it go at that. If we do, the picture we get will be TOO ROSY. County Clerk Files New Surety Bond on Monday (Continued From Page One) of New York, represented here by Paul Landry. Mrs. Short said Monday that she had not been personally, no tified by the Maryland surety company or it? agents, the Slater company, that the company did not plan to renew the bond, and she asserted further the court did not tell her that it had been so notified until a few days ago She said she was in the county court room and Commissioner John Reber showed her the let ter from the Slater company and said in effect that this was some thing she should know about She told Judge Reeder she felt she should have been informed the day the court was notified Under the law, the court could declare the office of county clerk vacant if a surety undertaking becomes void. ' Mrs. Short was indicted by the county grand jury in early December on a charge of receiv ing unauthorized payments to taling $95, and the case Is still pending in court. The Slater company also in formed the court that the bond of Geneva Garland, deputy coun ty clerk, and Howard Bayne, county dog catcher, would not be renewed. A new bond was provided Monday in the case of Mrs. Garland. Bayne is no longer in the count, 's employ. llllll. 2 Swell Features .

Boni, Associated Press correspondent, reported from the New Guinea front that at least 800 JaDanese were killed or raptured in the cleanup at the Buna government station and Giropa point. Another pocket of perhaps 100 Japanese was wiped out in a 400-yard beach front just west of Giropa Point. Burma Campaign A high Australian otlicer was quoted as saying that altogether the enemy lost 1200 in killed alone in the entire Buna opera tion. RAF fighter planes continued their dally attacks on Japanese occupied villages in western Burma.

Keno Youth Takes Part in Flaming Tunisian Battle (Continued From Page One) Fortress where I watched Fort resses and their fighter escorts rip through one of the hottest German air defenses in the world with every American bomber re turning to base. In the lead bomber In this sec ond largest attack of the war on the axis-held port, staged yester day, I watched the Fortresses with their escorting fighters beat off or drive through surging swarms of Focke-Wulf 190s and Messerschmitt 109s. For me it was an exciting day. expecting at any moment to have a bursting anti-aircraft shell or a flurry of ME-109 cannon fire drill into our ship but for the young American . fliers who a few months ago worked in their home towns or attended colleges it was just another day s work No air force in the world, even the German air force in its best day, had an air weapon capable of such sustained daylight bomb ing attacks as that of the Amer icans in what they call "the daisy chain" run over Tunis and Bizerte, where the Germans have concentrated fighters and anti aircraft defenses of terrific fire power. Day after day from a "Shan-gra-La" in North Africa. Flying Fortresses with their twin-tailed escort fighters smash down on the axis-held ports with such reg ularity that the pilots joke that they "feel like a driver on a milk run." After yesterday's violent bat tle, every Fortress returned ta the base although one landed with only two engines. Some car ried a cargo of wounded, includ ing mine, in which a waist gun ner was hit when anti-aircraft shells burst around us. Seven Oregon men took part in me Dig attack. Among them was Lieut.

The following questions and answers iirst of a scries de signed to explain the nriuclnnl noints nr tlin fiHI,r-t,il ""I gram for point rationing of can ned, bottled, anil frozen fruits and vegetables; juices; dried fruits; and all soups were re leased today by the Offico of Price Administration: 1. Q. When will actunl ra tioning begin? A. As early In February poniDit 2. Q. Why is It necessary to suspend retail soiling at all? A. There are several reasons. In the first place, of course, all lood stores throughout the country mutt be given an op portunity to prepare for the start oi rationing. They mutt have time to build up supplies, to train clerks, to receive and pott the official OPA Hit ol point valuet and iamlllarlae themtolvet with those valuott alto it will give the retailer time to take an Inventory of hit processed food. Secondly, the public mutt be registered for book 2, be notified of the actual point valuet, and be given time to ttudy them and budget their points for the flrtt ration per iod. 3. Q. How will the housewlfo know when point values are changed? A. The newspapers and radio will carry the announcement!, and every food store will have an OPA potter thowlna the cur rent point valuet of each par ticular product. A new potter will be litued when point values change. 4. Q. Will the point volues be the same In all stores, or will they vary between high- price and low-price stores. A. The point values are the tame in every store in the coun try regsrdlott of the price charged. The houtowife, in buy ing t No. 2 can of tomatoet, will have to turrender the stamps for the tame number of polntt regardlott oi whether the price it 12 cents or IS centt, or whether the can it of grade A, B or C, or any other grade deilgnat!oi t u c h at 'fancy, choice" or "ttandard." 5. Q. How long will tho first ration period last? A. That will depend very largely on the date when ra tioning beaint. If lt ware pot tible to ttart on February 1, tne lint ration period very probably would take in the en tire month 01 February. If, at now teemt probable, rationing will begin later, the flrtt per iod may be en "odd" one cov ering either the balance of Feb ruary or pottibly the balance of February and the full month of March. Thereafter, however, rationing perlodt likely will corrotpond to the calendar months. 6. Q. What is going to be dono about people who have an excess supply of these commodi ties on hand? ' A. Everyone applying for-war ration book two will be re quired to fill out. and sign a "consumer declaration" form ttatlng exactly the ttockt of pro cetted foodt on hand. Book will have ttampt removed for excett ttockt and thui, in effect will compel the applicant to uie up thete ttockt before buying any more. Heavy lederal penal- tiet can be applied to t h o 1 e making a falie declaration, 7. Q. Does this "declaration" mean that I will have to declare the fruits and vegetables I ned at home last fall? A. No, nothing you have packed at home need be de clared, and no stamps will be deducted for thete home tup. pliet. It Is expected, of count, that you will ute your home cenned goods instead of buying commercial products and thui help your ' government epread lood tupplies as widely as pot slble.' 8. Q.
