Predicts Attack on Tokyo SAN DIEGO, Calif., Feb. 1 () Secretary of the Navy , Frank Knox has returned from an In spection of far-flung Pacific out posts with the predictions that "there are darn good prospects of an air attack on Tokyo" and that "within, the next 80 days all organized resistance, on Guadalcanal will disappear." The secretary, who stopped here briefly yesterday en route back to Washington on his 20,-000-mile inspection : trip, - twice within the past two weeks was under Japanese air attack. The first attack was a short one at Espirltu Santo in the New He brides and the second, a much heavier one of seven hour dura tion, was on Guadalcanal. No casualties were reported in eith er attack. . , With Secretary Knox during the attacks were Admiral Ches ter W. Nimitz, commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, and Admiral William F. Halsey, com mander oi the . South Pacific force.' . . , . ; ' "I think there 'are darn good prospects of an air' attack on Tokyo," the secretary said at Pearl Harbor just before flying here. "But when or how it will hit I- will not say, but they bet ter get ready." , - "I think the Japs will fight a tough, hard persistent war. I will not discuss strategy but will say we have Just begun to fight and haven't hit - our hardest blows yet. "Every base has an abundance of supplies and men are living well and the spirit of our men everywhere is magnificent. . "Our submarines are doing a magnificent job and operations against the Japanese lines of communications are going at a good rate. I think destruction of shipping is a matter of great con cern to the Japanese. Knowing their shipping resources and their capabilities of building we can readily understand their con cern." The submarine situation in the Atlantic, however, he viewed as "a tough problem for us" and said "lots of losses are ahead there for us." Of Guadalcanal, he said: "In my judgment, it may be a fallacious one, but my opinion is that the Japanese have aban doned any idea of reinforcement of their troops there and within the next 30 days all organized resistance on Guadalcanal will disappear." . A . question regarding the situ ation in the Aleutians was an swered by Admiral Nimitz, who said: "Operations, are proceeding satisfactorily .there.. The threat in. the Aleutians is diminishing.' OPA Has Decided What's Par in the Pant ry Get A Line on How You Stand By JAMES MARLOW AND . GEORGE ZIELKE WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 VP) OPA has decided on what's par for your pantry.. So now you can start adding up your stock of canned goods and get a line on how you stand with regard to the rationing pro gram expected to start in a few weeks. ' ' : -Par is five cans or bottles of rationed items per person, not counting cans containing less than eight ounces, like small cans of baby foods. Any amount over that total calls for a penalty. - A family of four, for example, can declare 20 cans or. bottles of fruits, vegetables, soups and juices without losing any of its ration. .'- In making your declarations to the rationing board, you won't have to count your stock : of frozen or dried fruits and veg e tables (but remember that these will take ration stamps when you buy them later.) In view of the latest announce ment, - this looks like a good time to review the main points of this rationing program: ' 1. Foods to be rationed: ' All canned-or bottled fruits, ; veg etables, soups and juices and baby foods; frozen fruits and vegetables; dried fruits. 2. Your share: Remains to be determined. . Each item will be assigned a point-value scarcer goods will be worth more points than others, and the points may be changed from time to time. Your ration will be fixed in total points per rationing period (which may be a month or some other length of time.) . The ration stamps will bear point totals (8, 5, 2 and 1) and letters (A, B. C and so on) which will indicate the period in which they may be used. If A, B and C stamps are made valid for the first period, for example, your pomt total for that period would be 48. (This figure has been mentioned frequently, but OPA hasn't announced its decision.) 3. How to get your' ration book: . :.. . .' At a time yet to be announced, you or some member, of your family ' must - take your No. 1 ration book (the; one used for sugar and coffee)' to your ration ing board's office. The ration ing ' clerk will pencil an "X" , across stamp No. 19 to indicate that the holder , has received Book No.2. (You'll get back' Book No. I, as it will continue to be used for. sugar and coffee). You must declare how many cans and bottles of rationed items you have on a family basis. 4. penalties: Before the clerk gives you Book No.i' 2, he is instructed to tear ' out one 8- polnt stamp for every can in ex cess! of. the' allowable total. If there are four persons In your family, for - Instance,' and you have 24 cans, that would be four- over the limit, and the clerk would take . one 8-point stamp out of each of the family's four books. : The size of these extra cans won't make any difference so long as they're 8-ounce or ; When in Medford , .Star at HOTEL HOLLAND : Thoroughly Modern -. ,Jor and Ann Earley Proprietors . larger. . (Home . canned goods don't count.) There are 24 such 8-point blue colored, stamps in each book. If the family doesn't have enough of these to cover the penalties, the clerk is to make a note of that fact on the books, and the remainder, of. the penalty would apply to any future ration 'books. With your books .In hand. you'll be ready to start budget ing your buying in points as well as in cash. ' The blue stamps will be for canned and bottled goods; the red stamps in the same book will be used later for rationing meat. Note: .Under present plans, you won't have to surrender any ration stamps when you eat in a restaurant. P. . S. OPA expects you to have some , canned goods on hand.' There'll be one week before rationing starts when you won't be able to buy any. That's to give the stores a chance to stock up their shelves.

VATR0-N0L Naval Transport Plane Wreckage Found Sunday In California; 19 Dead URIAH, Calif., Feb. 1 (AP Shattered and burned almost be yond recognition, the wreckage of a naval transport plane lost with 19 aboard on a flight from Pearl Harbor to San Francisco, was found yesterday at the foot of a cliff in southern Mendocino county. It crashed there, In a wild mountainous region, 100 miles north of San Francisco, during a storm on January. 21. "There were no survivors," the navy said. For the navy, It was a heavy loss ten officers, including Rear Admiral Robert H, Eng lish, commander of the Pacific fleet submarine force, and three naval captains. The other nine victims were civilian personnel operating the great, four-motored seaplane. Bodies were brought out on pack horses, and In army jeeps. It was a 7-mile trip through roadless brush land to the high way. Among the first bodies Identi fied, were those of Admiral Eng lish and of the only woman aboard, Navy Lieut. (Jg) Edna Owclla Morrow, a nurse, of Pasadena, Calif, A nine-day-old tip from a ranch woman doubling as air plane warning service spotter In the area, and a daring flight by two high naval officers in a fast Lockheed Electro, brought about identification of the wreckage just before dark Sat urday. Acting on the report of the woman, Mrs. Charles Wollach, that she saw a huge craft cruis ing over her houso January 21, the navy sent a patrol plane to inspect the area.

The following is a statement as to the position of Kesterson group of Local UNION 6-12-I.W.A.-C.I.O. in regards to the operation of the Kesterson Lumber Corporation. At a National Labor Relations Board election held on November 18, 1942, Local 6-12-I.W.A.-C.I.O. was chosen the sole collective bargaining agency for the employees of the Kesterson Lumber Corporation by an 83 majority. This operation embraces the saw mill, yard, planing mill, box factory, and maintenance crews. On January 18, 1943, the negotiating committee from the Kesterson plant was able to obtain their first meeting with Mr. Irving Kesterson, exactly two month after the election. At this meeting no satisfactory answer was given to any of the questions laid before Mr. Kesterson. Now the Kesterson Lumber Corporation or any other plant is an Important cog in all out war effort of this nation. The UNION'S position is that this plant should operate at full capacity for the duration of this na tional emergency, and all the available log supply should be converted into lumber for the Immediate war effort to supply shelter, food, munitions for our armed forces. We know that the 1943 production will be greatly curtailed inasmuch as a great many of the experienced employees have left due to this shutdown, and Inex perienced employees will have to be trained to take their positions. Thus indirectly giving aid to the ene mies of our nation and threatening the safety of ui all. As the certified representatives of the Kesterson Employees, we wish ; to thank Mr. Kesterson for his' compliment to the employees for their 1942 produc ' tion record. This record would have been substantially - increased had the Kesterson Lumber Corporation not curtailed operations by one month In 1942. The UNION believes that the 1943 production record would have been substantially raised had the Kesterson Lumber Corporation started operations Janu ary 4, 1943 as they were instructed to do by the War Production Board. In regards to the alleged attempt to throw the company in a bad light with government agencies: The UNION requested the War Production Board on No vember 25, 1942 to investigate the closing down of the mill and planer as there was at least six million board feet of logs and a large inventory of lumber available that could have been applied to the war effort. The' UNION wishes to make it clear that the UNION was not responsible for the plant closing down; because the employees were frozen on the job by The War Man Power Commission and were available for the plant's operation at all timet. The UNION must oppose anyone who will deter or Interfere with the war effort. Due to the shut-down of the Kesterson mill, there will have been over a two months' dolay of lumber production of this plant. What If all plants would do this? Tho government stated very cloarly to the public that lumber It vitally essential to our war effort and for the safety of our boyt on the front lines at well at on production lines. The UNION ogreet with Mr. Kesterson on hit statement, "That collective bargaining In good faith, with honest purpose on both tidet. It a primary requi site to tecure lattina benefits between labor and man agement." Therefore, the UNION hat publicly requotted Mr. Irving Kesterson,' or his representatives, to meet with the UNION committee on Monday night, February 1, 1943 at the company office to negotiate working agree ment satisfactory to both company and the UNION. The negotiating committee was duly elected by a majority vote of the UNION, and were elected be cause of their Integrity and past history and ability in doaling with difficult social and economic problomt confronting the employeei of the Kesterson Lumber Corporation. The UNION further believes that If Mr. Kesterson' will meet with the UNION committee Monday evening and negotiate in good faith, we can work togother in building a working organization capable of meeting any war time emergency. The UNION takes the trend that the employee! patriotism who have stood by to perform their patri otic duty of producing for the war effort can not be challenged. . The UNION oiks: Hat the Kesterson Lum ber Corporation done their utmost in the last two montht for the war effort? Therefore, the UNION it foarlost in itt potitlon of conttructive fault finding and comment. The UNION will gladly join Mr. Kesterson in thlt pledge: "We, at Americans, will work together, tol erating neither obttaclei nor Individuals who would, sabotage or deter our productive efforts until final vic tory it won, and the tafety of our nation and the poo pie it again secure." , Submitted by the Ketterton employeei, membert of local UNION 6-12 I.W.A.-C.I.O.
