Little Change
Seen in Portland
On 48-Hour Week
PORTLAND", Feb,' ll yP) In

that President Roosevelt's order
.for a 48-hour reek would make
'little difference in Portland area
war production.; "
. Plant and labor officials point
ed out that most of the area's
war - industries have been on a
48-hour week for some time.
Many workers on five-day week
shifts are working the extra day
off in war plants, they said.
George Sullivan, Portland
General Electric company vice
president, objected to the time-and-a-half
pay called for In the

tons."
"That is to say," ha added,
"our joint fleet is one and a
quarter million tons bigger today
than it was six months ago."
It was recalled that Churchill
credited the nazis' lack of know
ledge of allied shipping for the
ease with which the allies oc
cupied French North Africa.
U-boat Successes
"We have had hardly any
losses in our heavily escorted
troop convoys, and out of about
three million souls who have
been moved under protection of
the British navy only 1348 hava
been killed or drowned, Includ
ing the missing."
"The rate of killing of U-boats
has steadily improved," he said.
"From January to October, 1942,
inclusive, a period of ten months.
the rate of sinkings certain and
probable was the best we have
seen so far in this war.
"But from November to the
present date, a period of three
months, the rate has improved
more than half as much again."
Justice Stn
At the same time, Churchill
added, "the destructive power of
the U-boat has undergone steady
diminution. In the first year of
the war the operational U-boat
accounted for an average of 19
ships; in the second year, 12;
and in the third, seven and a
half."
Of the meeting January 14 to
24 with Roosevelt, Churchill
said:
'Our Inflexible Insistence on
unconditional surrender does not
mean that we shall stain our vic
torious arms by wrong and cruel
treatment of the whole popula
tion, but justice must be done,
and justice must be stem and
implacable.
"No vestige of nazi or fascist
power, no vestige of the Jap
anese war plotting machine will
be left by us when the work is
done, as it certainly will be."
He said that although Stalin
was unable to attend the confer
ence, "I assure the house that
our duty to aid to the utmost in
our power the magnificent and
tremendous, effort of Russia, and
try to idraw the enemy from the
Russian front was accepted as
the first objective once the prob
lems of U-boat warfare were
met."
We should eake a long-range
point of view and try to develop
policies which will be beneficial
to the world rather than to one
nation in the world. Mrs. Elea
nor Roosevelt.

Welles Denounces
Nazi Detention of
American Diplomats
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11 (ff)
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles today denounced Ger
many's detention of American
diplomatic and consular officials
from Vichy, France, as one of
the cheapest efforts at Interna
tional blackmail 'he had ever
known.
Welles told his press confer
ence that the German govern
ment insisted on relcoso of the
German armistice commission
captured in French Africa de
spite the fact that the military
uiembers of the armistice com
mission are prisoners of war.
The Americans in question
were stationed in Vichy France

Mora Efficient
Mrs. Short said Wednesday
that under the present set-up,
various members of her staff are
ready to give public service in
connection with the circuit court
work, while she or a deputy may
be in the courtroom.
Judge Vandenberg asserted
also that he believed the keeping
of records and other work In
connection with the circuit court
clerk work would be more ef
ficiently handled if the clerk
was made appointive by the
judge. He complained about the
manner In which the work Is
being handled at present.
Letter Sent
The judge declared that cer
tain records in connection with
the county court "cash box"
case, Investigated by the grand
jury just prior to Judge Vanden
berg's entry into office, had dis
appeared and as a result the
county court is unable to collect
certain credits due -the county.
Mrs. Short said that she has
ample photostatic copies of rec
ords to protect the county s in

parently were takerwfrom her of

problem, why not turn it around

the circuit judge? . '
Hannon said that he felt the
matter should be permitted to
rest until election, when the peo
ple can vote on retaining or re

Vandenberg In office. The let

"Even if Germany Is defeated,"
says Sir Gerald Campboll,
"Japan will not be discouraged
and will bo a hard foe to defeat.
The only discouraged Jap is a
dead one."
The British minister, first as
sistant to Lord Halifax, tho Brit

Despite German setbacks in
