Victory Certain. But Will Be Tough, Says Roosevelt In Pre-lnvasion Address By JOHN M. HIGHTOWEH WASHINGTON, June 6 (fl in a speech which made no ref erence to invasion but was de livered in the certain knowledge tnat the climactic hour Unally had come. President Roosevelt told the nation last night that victory over Germany is certain but "It will be tough and it will be costly." The president broadcast on the fall of Rome at 5:30 p. m PWT about the time United States and allied forces were jumping off from England, for the. air and water push across the channel. Now . that the invasion . has been . announced, he may avail himself to the regular Tuesday afternoon (1 p. m.) news confer ence to say more. - To . many listeners here It seemed that the chief executive was extraordinarily preoccupied last night, that his comment on the accomplishments in Italy was . designed more to point them up: as prelude to what was to come than to extol the victory already won. - Having in mind that fact that Berlin and Tokyo remain to be taken he summed up the capture of the Italian capital by saying One up and two to go. .Our victory comes at an ex cellent, time,"-Mr. Roosevelt de clared,' "while our allied forces are poised for another strike at western - Europe and -while armies -. of other nazi soldiers nervously. '- await our . assault. And our gallant Russian allies continue to make their power felt more and more." " To this, however, he hastened Ib'add that' while the Germans have, "suffered heavy .losses" these" have not been "great enough- to . cause collapse." Germany has not yet been- driven to surrender, he. said, "Germany has not yet been driven to the point where she .''Developing - Printing Enlarging -.- -- UNDERWOOD'S PHOTO SERVICE -.211 Underwood Bldg. at . mm ght CHRISTIAN CHURCH Ninth and Pine Sts. -8 P.

That dis tance will be covered in duo time have no fear of that. But it will be tough and it will be costly." To many here his words had the ring of a reaffirmation of the allied intention to press the war to a complete victory over Germany despite the statement of Pope Pius last week that Admiral King Says Push "Doing Okeh" WASHINGTON, June 6 ) Admiral Ernest J. King told re porters at 10 a. m., PWT. today that the invasion is "doing all right so far." King, commander-in-chief of the fleet, made the remark as he. General George C.

Wed., I p. m KfJt -mm) f 4') ; Meet Jim Blake, ' The way Jim Blake figures it He's not doing anylKing worth writing up he's , no hero.' Jim switches cars around at a big Southern Pacific terminal yard, put-: - ting trains together and taking 'em apart. - -. But Jim Blake's been railroading more than 30 , years, and he knows a lot of answers.-B.ecently when we've had to train thousands of new railroaders,! Jim's experience has been very valuable to us.' , , We. depend, a lot on men like him to keep the war, ' ' trains moving : . ;. . . Late In '41 Jim Blake was read to quit work and switch' . onto his pension. He anil his wile had a little farm all paid for."But when the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, Jim talked things' over with his wife rjid they decided on a different' plan. "-.. , ' - With a lot of the young men off to war, Jim figured he'd better' stick on the job for the duration,: His railroad and his country might he needing him. All this explains why Jim Blake is still a railroader. He's doing bis part to help win this war as soon as pos sible. For Victory will bring tho young men home again . . . and then Jim Blake can get together with his farm. To old-timer like Jim Blake the strategic importance of Southern Pacific's 15,000 miles of line is as plain as two plus two makes four. We serve tho great arc of West and "retired" South'. From Chicago", from the Pacific Northwest and the -deep South, Southern Pacific routes converge at West Coast ports, bringing troops and war supplies for the war- against Japan. ' . In addition to this heavy wettbound traffic, we mutt move to eastern centers vast quantities of food, raw ma terials and industrial products of the West and South. America's wartime transportation needs are challeng ing the best we railroaders have to give. Our people work today with the same unbeatable spirit -that built Southern Pacific's western link of America's ; first transcontinental railroad. They, along with all other American railroaders, arc doing tho greatest job in trans portation history and they are doing it in spite of a great shortage of manpower. , Southern Pacific and other railroads urgently need thousands of men and women to fill thousands of inter esting, good-paying, essential war jobs.
