Pre-Pearl Harbor Plans Of Pacific Fleet For Scouting Gilbert Island Department Group Vetoed By Navy .... .r i Bv JACK BELL WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (P) Pre-Pcarl Harbor plans of the Pacific fleet for scouting an is land chain where the marines later had heavy losses were vetoed by the navy department, congressional investigators were informed today. Admiral Husband E. Kimmel said he wanted to survey the Gilbert group which includes Tarawa, but Washington in structed him not to take fleet units "anywhere near tnose lonHfl in nrp-wnr davs. Tarawa and other islands in the Gilberts were taken by u: s, amnhibious forces in hard fight ing during November, 1943, as thn wpstwnrd offensive across the Central Pacific was launched. A British possession, the Gilberts were seized by the Japanese after the outbreak of the war and strongly fortified. Kimmel said the reason given by the navy department for veto ing the projected survey was "that we should not evince any interest in the Gilberts because the Japs might find out that we were interested. Testimony Examined The former Pacific fleet com' mander's recital came to light as senate-house committee mem bers examined testimony Kim mel gave in three previous in quiries as a prelude to his per sonal appearance before the con gressional group next mesaay. Kimmel's testimony about the Gilberts was before an army in quiry board in 1944. Three years earlier he had complained to the Roberts commission that S re-Pearl Harbor intelligence e received from Washington was "ineffective and inaccurate." In his testimony before the Roberts commission, Kimmel rated Japanese espionage in Honolulu excellent in compari son with the information he said he received from the navy de partment. He mentioned that on Decem ber 1. 1941, the director of naval Intelligence (then Vice Admiral T. S. Wilkinson) had issued a bulletin saying there were strong indications of a JapaViese attack on Thailand, but that "major (Japanese) ship strength remains in home waters." Enemy En Rout Actually the enemy task force was then at sea en route to attack Pearl Harbor, previous evidence shows. Kimmel said that from Janu ary 20, 1941 on he periodically received messages from Washing ton which indicated "a grave situation." The messages in the weeks just before the attack, he declared, appeared little differ ent from earlier ones. In his opinion, a study of cor respondence would show the navy department did not expect an attack (on Hawaii) or that "hostilities were unduly immi nent," he said, adding: "If the president, the state de partment and the navy depart ment at any time gathered a more alarming viewpoint re garding possible Japanese mili tary action against the fleet I was never so informed." Icy Roads Cause Minor Accidents Portland, Jan. 12 UP) A aeries of minor accidents, many in or near Washington county, resulted from icy pavements in yesterday s fog and cold wave, state police said today. Rex hill on Highway 99-W near Newberg sent 11 cars skid ding, while five vehicles had mishaps near Aloha. January 15 Tax Questions Answered By U. S. Experis By J. W. MALONEY Collector of Internal Revenue, Portland, Or. 1. If I am required at this time to make a declaration of estimated tax for 1945 (or amended declaration), when must it be filed? January 15. The tax due at this time must be paid in full. . , , , 2. Where do I file? At the office of the collector of internal revenue in your district. In this district, address your declara tion to "Collector of Internal Revenue, Custom House, Port land, Ore." ..,. 3. Do I also have to file an income tax return by March 15? If you file your regular 1945 return on form 1040 by January 15, it will serve both as a declaration and as a re turn, and no further filing on your 1945 taxes will be neces sary. However, if you file a declaration (form 1040-ES), you must also file your regular return not later than March 15, 4. Do I have to file an estimate for the new year, 1946? For 1946, the rules will be the same as last year. You will have to file a 1946 declaration if you expect wages subject to withholding to exceed $5000 plus $500 for every exemption except your own, or if you expect more than $100 of other income (assuming your overall income is $500 or more). 5. When do I file my 1946 estimate? March 15 if you are not a farmer; January 15, 1947, if you are a farmer. But do not confuse these dates with the deadline this January 15 for completing your 1945 estimates. 6. Suppose I don't want to change my 1945 estimate, but have an installment left to pay. When is it due? Also January 15. In this case, too, if you file your annual return by January 15, you may pay the amount called for by the return instead of the installment.

Philomath operator of the Ellis & Mann sawmill 15 miles west of here at Summit, estimated loss at $25, 000 today after a fire nearly de stroyed the plant.

Lady In Torments Always, she kept her house spit aim span, one read only the best books and magazines and never did she turn a hun gry soul away from her door without a bite. But she called God a liar. She forbid her heart to believe His word, that He had sent Christ to die for her sins. By that she called God a liar and all liars have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone. See Rev. 19:20 and , Rev. 20:15. A real lake or else God's awful warning., And in hell, she lifted up her eyes be ing irt torments See Christ's word, Lk, 16:23. All about in hell, she saw the murderers, liars, the unclean of all the ages. Except we have Christ to give tis new birth and to hold us up, we grow to be like such as we live among.

Trains Carry Vets From Northwest SEATTLE, Jan. 12 (IP) Eighteen trains carrying 6020 troops from Portland, Seattle and Tacoma have cut the num ber of veterans remaining in the Fort Lawton, northeast Fort Lewis and Vancouver Barracks areas early yesterday to 6782.

He hasjust been released from service and has resumed his former position as district manager of Copco. The AMG eoverned the Neth erlands, a country twice the size of Klamath county containing nine million people, with the consent of the Dutch govern ment in exile, Bosworth ex plained. Suffer Damage The Netherlands suffered the worst damage of any country in western Europe, he said. During the last winter of the war 1UU, 000 Hollanders died of starva tion and 650,000 acres of land were flooded. More of tne coun try was saved from flooding be cause the allied armies had bot tled up Germans there. One example to show the mag nitude of the job done by AMG pumps with a potential capacity of 10 million U.S., gallons per minute were assembled for use in de-flooding Dutch lands. Main Problems The main problems in work ing with the Dutch were to in duce them to use modern Amer ican methods of construction and to adopt temporary expedi ents for the sake of speed, Bos- wortn reported. When Bosworth had termin ated his work in Holland last November, public utility facili ties were sufficiently restored to keep the country eoine. With the political problem of nan a million uutenmen charg ed with collaboration, and the economic problem of the loss of the Netherlands four main sources of income shiDDine. Rhine river traffic, European in dustrial investments and the colonies "the future for the Netherlands presents a dim pic ture," Bosworth said. He was introduced by Walt eane, wno w(as chairman of Discount Offered On Pressure Canners Owners of Victory model pressure canners may get a dis count of one-half the purchase price of a new pre-war alum inum model pressure cooker, simply by returning the lid of their Victory canner t o the manufacturer, provided the cooker was made by the com pany making this offer, accord ing to word received by Mrs. Winnifred K.
