PORTLAND. AuS. 14 UP).
Salem-born Hear Adm. Thomas
Leigh Gatch believes the Japan
ese navy is getting "scared to
fight" and that American ships
soon will DC in me rnuippincs,
but he doesn't look for an early
defeat of Japan.
The navy's judge - advocate
perioral, who is captain of the
battleship South Dakota was
awarded tne navy iross auer
the battle of the Santa Cruz is
lands in which his crew shot
down 32 Japanese planes while
protecting an aircratt carrier,
said in an interview yesterday:
"The odds are even longer in
our favor now than they were
against us at the battle of Guad
alcanal, and the Japs don't seem
to like to fight against the odds.
"But even if thev don't stand
up against us at sea, we have a
long way to go to get them as
completely defeated as we'd
like to fix them, or all this even
tually will have to be done
: over. . . .
'.'I think we'll be in Manila
bay before so ery much longer.
If we'll have to do much to get
there, I don't know. It looks to
me like the Japs are getting
scared .to iignt. .
Adm. Gatcn, twice wounded
in South Pacific naval engage
ments, said ne joined tne navy
one night in his youth.
"I was awakened in bed it
seemed like midnight to me. The
Salem town band was playing a
. piece . of music in our living
room, my father being the
mayor. The band was celebrat
ing the news of Dewey's victory
in Manila bay. I think on that
occasion I joined the navy."
The admiral arrived here Sat
urday night with his wife and
it. William Whittington Jr., his
aide. They inspected shipyards
Sunday, were guests at a lunch
eon, with navy and army offi
cers, and had dinner with ex
Governor Oswald West, who
taught young "Tam"' Gatch to
hunt, fish and- ride.
Adm. Gatch went to Salem to
day to receive an honorary de
gree 01 aocior 01 laws from
Willamette university.

International Peace
. By EARL WHITLOCK
About fifteen years ago, there
was dedicated, up in the Turtle
Mountains, on the line between
Manitoba . and
North . Dakota,
a Shrine of
Peace about
2,000 acres of
bills and lakes
called the Inter
national Peace
Garden. A cairn
has been erect
ed there, half
on . American
and half on Ca-
nadian soil,
which bears
these words
"To God in His glory, we two
nations dedicate this garden and
pledge ourselves that, so long
as men shall live, we shall not
take up arms, against one an
: other.".
So, you see, It Can Be Done!
The big nation and the smaller
one CAN live 'side by side in
peace. Competitor nations and
we are- competitors: of Canada
in many ways can. continue to
exist in friendliness and mutual
respect.
. You and I may not live to see
it probably we .won't. But
there, will .come a day some
aay, wnen.AL.J-. international
lines will be so. blessed.

GAS INCREASE
FOR B CARDS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14 W
The office of price administra
tion is considering a plan calling
for a substantial increase in the
gasoline rations of a relatively
lew "B" book motorists in high
ly essential work, and providing
at the same time a ceiling on the
rations of some less essential
"C drivers.
While no decision has been
reached as to whether the plan
will be put into effect, it was
learned today that it involves
granting gasoline for a maxi
mum of 825 miles of driving - a
month to "B" . motorists any
where in the country "whose in-
course-of-work driving is consid
ered highly important to the war
effort.
At present the "B" ceiling is
325 miles monthly on the east
coast, 400 miles on the west
coast and 475 miles in the rest of
the country.
An OPA spokesman said the
reports the agency is consider
ing a general boost in the "B"
ceiling to Bzo miles a . month
were "fantastic."
The increase, it was under
stood, would be given only so
called hardship cases, where "B"
drivers are hampered in their
work because of the present ceil
ings. For example, salesmen are
held at present to the "B" ceil
ing. Under the plan being stud
ied, salesmen whose technical
knowledge is considered essen
tial to the efficient operation of
a war plan might qualify for a
larger ration.
On the other hand, the plan
calls for cutting back to a maxi
mum oi U3 miles of driving
monthly the "C" book rations
granted to motorists whose es
sentiality is considered on the
border line. At present there is
no ceiling on "C" rations.
Informed sources said that any
adjustment of either "B" or "C"
rations would affect only a rela
tively few motorists.
PORTLAND, Aug. 14 (iP)

ing here indicated the total cost
of completing all the planned
highways in the five states will
be $720,000,000. The governors

penditures for- three years after
the war ends for highway con
struction and . maintenance. .
U. S. Papers Cut
Use of Newsprint
NEW YORK, Aug. 14 (
U. S. newspapers cut their use
of newsprint paper in July an
estimated 17.8 per cent from
July of last year, the American
Newspaper Publishers associa
tion estimated- today. .

75 per cent of all newsprint in
this country, consumed 174,886
tons in July against 212,260 in
the same month a year ago and
215,012 tons in July of 1941, base
year for restrictions on paper.
For the first se.ven months of
1944, reporting newspapers used
1,343,391 tons, 16.3 per cent less
than in the corresnondlne 1943
period and 20.1 per cent less than
in the like 1941 period.
At the end of July newspapers
had an estimated 66 days' sup
ply of paper compared with 34
days' supply a, month earlier.

Pacific coast- householders,

ter months should lay In a-supply
now while deliveries can still be
made, the office of defense trans
portation warned today.
"Tho storage of tank cars,
scarcity of tonk trucks and al
most total lack of heavy-duty
tires have combined to create a
national crisis In petroleum
transportation," ODT officials
said. .-"Meanwhlto military de
mands for aviation gasoline and
other petroleum products arc
mounting."
The transportation of military
must, and will, como first, ODT
pointed out. This means that
civilians who delay in placing
their orders for fuel oil may find
that deliveries cannot be made
because equipment is tied up in
handling military requirements.
"The office of price admin
Istration has cooperated by is
suing fuel oil ration coupons
earlier this year," ODT officials
declared. "The ODT is .doing
everything possible to provide
adequate transportation. Also,
operating conditions are best for
dcliversics at this season of the
year.
"If the situation develops to
a point where deliveries of ci
vilian fuel oil cannot be made
because of military needs, the
person who waits until the lust
minute to put In his order can
blame no one but himself," ODT
stated.
