OREGON JitnUHry 6, igj CHECK OP T CARDS URGED THEFTS TOLD Service station operators are urged by police to check the card mileage ration books which must be presented upon the pur chase of gasoline, and compare the vehicle license number on the book with that of the car license in an effort to catch up on "A" book thefts which have occurred during the past few . weeks. On the front of each "A" book is the name of the registered owner, address, city and state, date and use tax stamp number, vehicle license number, state of registration, year model, make and body type of the car.

Wives of Rotarians met at the Pelican Monday to discuss plans for the January war savings drive with Mrs. Franklin Weaver, chairman of the worn' en's division of war savings. The month of January, designated as "Pine Goes to War" month, will be directed by Rotary club, and Mitchell Tillotsoo is general chairman, with Dr. J. M. Hilton in charge of women's work. The Vox theatre on Main street has been given to Rotar ians to use as a "Victory Cen ter" during the month and each day a Rotarian's -wife will be at the box office to sell bonds and tamps. Saturday, January 16, has been designated the night for the big program to be sponsored by Rotary, with plans to be an' nounced later by Tillotson. A community sing will be spon sored by the women, this date. also to be set. - A Special tribute is being paid to workers in the pine industry in the basin and with their co operation the month should be a good one from the standpoint of war savings sales. - The men's group also met Monday to outline plans for the remainder of the month with Tillotson presiding. Daring Sub Exploit Saves 29 From Jap. -Held Island (Continued From Page One) sets had sent the whites scurry ing into the brush for safety. Only two methods of effect ing the rescue were feasibl either by air or submarine. The underwater craft was chosen. Messages were dispatched to thi; craft, which was unable to reply lest it give away its posi tion. Thus progress of the daring plan to evacuate those endan gered could not be determined. It . is known now, however, that the submarine commander received and carried out the orders. The submarine reached the ' rendezvous exactly on schedule. It stood close to shore, and took the refugees aboard at night aft er replying to a pre-designated signal. Originally it had been planned to make a second at tempt the following night if the initial try was unsuccessful. As it turned out that would have been tragic for the morning after the fleeing party was placed aboard the sub a large nuraoer or japs landed. Watch for This One! augh.l lauph! Mtismmn love love.1 CHHW.ES C0BURN nn Kujoot'iumik 1 -S EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued FTom Pago One) sert that Hitler has ordered his armies in the Caucasus to hold their positions AT ALL COSTS even to a last-ditch stand if the Russians close the Rostov gap. This story (unconfirmed) says the German plan in that event would be to supply the Cau casus army by water across the Black sea. THIS, of course, has always been a possibility. But there's a Russian fleet loose in the Black sea, with sup ply bases at and near Batum, which lies at the Black sea end of one of the Russian oil pipe lines from the great Baku fields, These bases are supplied by rail from the Caspian. Allied land-based aircraft would also take a hand in bat tering the German supply fleets, CONFIRMING recent hints in the news, Wes Gallagher, AP correspondent in Northern Africa, after a tour of 2100 miles by jeep and 700 miles by air, thinks the Germans are going to make a MAJOR effort to hold the Mediterranean narrows be tween Tunis and Sicily in the hope of keeping the Mediierran- ean-Suez route closed to allied shipping. HE says the axis, with short, ln,in. 1 , . ikiw nirca aim gieui concentration of artillery and air . force already in northern Tunisia, can halt any allied in fantry assault (unsupported by xanKs) with -murderous losses, Mud and rain, he thinks, will cramp our style until some time in February. BUT, he says, the German air force is LOSING ITS PUNCH, and is only a shadow of the ter rible weapon it was in Norway ana France and Greece and Crete. The allied air force is still handicapped by lack of fields. but the punishment it hands out. ne says, is ten TIMES as effec tive as the German air blows. He concludes: "Where 100 Stukas once appeared, only 15 now appear. Where 40 axis fighters flew, only FOVR fly now and when challenged by RAF and American fighters they o.uickly disappear. The Germans are obviously husbanding their waning strength." Read his dispatch in this news paper today. You'll find it in teresting. .- YOU'LL recall with some un easiness that SEVEN of our Flying Fortresses were lost ,in an. attack on St Nazaire. The London Express says to day the Germans have been try-: ing out new "suicide" tactics against them, German fighter pilots, attacking in pairs from dead ahead. They inflicted the worst losses we ve suffered yet, oui suiierea pretty severely themselves, losing 38 fighters in uestroying our seven bombers. At the worst, t was about an even swap. London reports say that in the St. Nazaire raid the American bombers were led by the com manding general. One guesses it wasn t sheer love of danger on the part of the general, who was presumably leading the raid in person in order to study the new German tactics. In war, new forms of attack must constantly be met by new methods of defense.

Navy Secretary Knox, asked whether the navy had any in formation on the massing of Jap anese ships, told newsmen there were always enemy ships at Ra baul but that "to the best of my knowledge there is no unusual concentration at the moment." Gen. Sir Archibald P, WaveU's British legions from In dia were reported moving near er the big Japanese base at Ak- yab in Burma today and dis patches from the front declared it was uncertain whether the Japanese commander "intends to defend Akyab or withdraw with out a fight." IKE (Continued From Page One) infantry drive massing against the Sanananda salient. Medium bombers roared in at low altitudes and dropped 300- pounders on Japanese machine gun nests and light attack bomb ers swept over the area to strafe enemy positions. Fires were started in the Japanese-held po sitions. 149 Japs Counted Reports from Associated Press correspondents on the New Guin ea land front said that allied troops mopping up . the Buna Giropa Point sector occupied January 3 carried through faster and with less resistance than they expected. American clean up squads crisscrossing the swamplands be tween Buna government station and Giropa Point yesterday counted the bodies of 149 Jans killed when the enemy's organ ized resistance in this area was broken the previous day, in addi tion to the 30 slaL. in the mop tip itself. . - . f ' The dispatches said the only Japs' left are a few stragglers who have taken to the jungles in twos and threes. . Visible intoxication, including being just plain drunk on the street or driving while "under the influence," has been cut down considerably and city and state police attributed the fewer number of arrests to several items of importance. Item No. 1, was the early hour closing of the state liquor store and beer dispensaries. The state liquor shop now closes at 8 p. m.. which discourages late buyers ana limits the later parties. Chief Heuvel observed. Item No. 2 might be the "one-bottle-to-the-customer" ruling which went in to effect in December. State police think that Item No. 3 might.be the conservation of gas policy which all motor ists are forced to observe. There is little "joy riding" going on these days and what there is usu- ally takes place pretty close in. There is a tendency toward closer observance of traffic laws, at least on the highways, state officers say. The traffic around town is on a normal plane but out of the city district the arter ials are fairly quiet. ' f 190 ""P Hl"' O 1 I If JOAN LESLIE tp" ! .

Jap Destroyers Failed to Make Landing, Report (Continued From Pago One) cso destroyer squadron hud been under attack for about 275 miles during its approach to Guadal canal with tho purpose of land ing supplies and possibly rein forccmcnts for tho Japanese troops virtually stranded there. r.iglnnlly there were 10 de stroyers. icy were attacked enrly Sunday afternoon south of Shortland island by a flight of army Flying Fortresses which, however, observed no bomb hits. This attack wns reported Sun day in a novy communique which also described an attack by dive bombers on a destroyer detachment northwest of Ren dova island, which is about 200 miles from Guadalcanal. Knox said that the destroyers attacked at Rcndova and thore attacked south of Shortland were the same and that the eight which sur vived the dive bomber assault one was set afire and ono was probably sunk were in the same eight which yesterday's navy 'communique described as having reached tho "vicinity" of northwestern Guadalcanal where the Japanese forces are concen trated. Knox sold that "the best Infor mation we have is that they didn't make a landing but were driven off." I Ti"llM'J3ENDS ' " 1 ' TODAY! iir m 1 . STARTS TOMORROW A THUNDERBOLT OF SHOCKING FACT!
