Plan Mobilization
Of Teen Age Group

LANSING, Jan. 4 - (R -
Mobilization of an army OF
teen-aged workers will signal
the start of a campaign to sup
ply sufficient labor on Michigan
farms to meet 1913 food for
freedom goals, the State De-
Tense Council announced today.
Don c. Weeks, director of the
Councils Civilian War Service
Division, said that all county de-
Tense councils have been in
structed to initiate machinery
for selection of local youth farm
labor committees which will
work with rural and urban
neighborhood war clubs in re-
cruiting and training of boys
and girls for farm work next
Spring.
Weeks said the plan, devised
by the State Youth Farm Labor
Committee of the M lie h an
Farm Manpower Board, marked
"a long step forward towards
aiding farmers whose normal
labor supplies have been de-
pleted by the war.
At the call of local defense
councils. Weeks explained, coun-
ty school commissioners, agri-
cultural agents and farm labor
councils on which are represent
cd local farm war boards, de-
fensc councils and the u. s. EN-
ployment Service will meet to
select local youth committees.
The latter group will become
an official committee of county
defense councils, Weeks said,
and will be visited by members

Committee to shape programs to
fit local conditions.

Oregon Flood
Fatal 10 10
Willamette River
Overflows Bonks

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 4 -
(P)- The worst Willamette Riv-
er flood in years ebbed slowly
today, leaving ten persons dead
or missing.
Hundreds still were homeless
and thousands of acres of rich
farmland were under water as
western Oregon's largest river
remained above flood level for
half its length.
Health authorities feared an
outbreak of typhoid and rushed
vaccine to McMinnville, COrval-
lis and Eugene. DR.. Frederick
D. Stricken, state health officer,
said water sources at small
communities from West Salem
to Eugene were contaminated
and that drinking water would
have to be treated for some.
time.
At Eugene the river dropped
below flood stage and farmers
began returning to their silt
covered lands. Traffic was re-
sumed over all major routes ex-
cept the coast highway, still
flooded between Coquille and
Bandon, but highway officials
said it would be a week before
some secondary roads would be
opened.
Damage was estimated in the
millions.
From Salem to Portland the
Willamette was above flood lev
ell, inundating canneries, ware
houses, shipyards, paper and
lumber mills.
At Oregon City near Port
land water was IL feet deep over
the city athletic field and the
main line of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad was blocked, the
first time since 1893. Rail traf-
fic was re-rOuted around the
area.

Terms Tire

Rule Silly
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 up

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 - up
- Terming government tire in
spection and registration re-
quirements SILLY and a reflec-
ton on the honesty of the Amer
lean people" Representative
Manasco (D-La) said today he
would seek to eliminate them by
legislation when congress re-
convenes this week.
Manasco said he was drafting
bill which would forbid the
office of price administration or
any other federal agency to re-
quire the registration and peri
odic inspection Of tires.
Such inspections already have
been ordered, the frequency of
the examinations depending on
the type of gasoline ration card
held by the owner. A part of the
order required all motorists to
register with their local ration
ing boards the serial numbers of
their tires, with future gasoline
rations to be denied to persons
retaining more than five tires.
After spending hours land us
ing up lots of gasoline" to have
his own tires inspected, Manasco
said he was convinced the plan
was silly"
1T doesn't conserve rubber or
gasoline and it doesn't prove
anything at all" he declared.
you have to wait in line for
hours to get your inspection and
pay a charge for it, and most of
tie so-called inspectors obvious
ly wouldn't know whether or not
there was anything wrong with
the tires"

Classification
Cards Must be
Kept on Person
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4-R

WASHINGTON, Jan. 40
All men i'm the 18-45 age
group who have been subject to
Selective Service registration
fer six months must carry draft
classification cards starting
February /.
Selective Service headquar-
ters announced the ruling last
night as part of a program of
vigorous action" against draft
delinquents.
Failure to carry both classifi-
cation and registration cards
would subject the offender to
possible penalties totaling five
years Imprisonment and a
$4,000 fine.
Selective Service said the ac-
ton was directed against men
believed to be delinquent by
reason of failure to keep in touch
with local boards as required"
Most delinquencies, the Service
reported, were believed due to
negligence or lack of UNDER
standing of Selective Service
requirements"
Less than three-tenths of one
per cent of all draft registrants
are delinquent, the Service esti-
mated, compared with a AS per
cent delinquency between 1917
AN 1918.
BY carrying classification
cards, registrants will be able to
show that they are in commune
cation with local boards land
have been classified as to avail
ability for military service,
the announcement said.
Local boards were instructed
to mail notices TO delinquent
registrants Immediately and to
notify federal district attorneys
those who failed to comply
with their obligations during

hits on two others.
"(B) Enemy aircraft bombed
our PIT boats and inflicted slight
damage"
This apparently was the lat
est Japanese attempt to supply
their troops on Guadalcanal
since they dropped about 30
parachute cargoes on the beach
at Tassafaronga Dec. q. The
parachute supplies we're bombed
and strafed by American Army
planes.
Whether the torpedo boats
succeeded in turning back the
Japanese attack was not stated
by the Navy but it was noted
that only one torpedo hit on one
vessel was reported as certain.
1t would have been possible for
tie others to continue their high
speed run into the northwestern
tip of Guadalcanal, possibly
around Lavero pass or Coughlan
harbor, and get out again with
out having to undergo further
attack.
Such a dashing execution of
the supply mission would have
been possible particularly if the
destroyers came in at night or in
bad weather. Possibly they were
operating with weather protec-
ton which gave their own air
craft occasional openings for
bombing the American PIT boats
1t could have been a night ac-
ton however particularly If
those destroyers were of the
same group discovered earlier
Saturday in the vicinity Of
Shorthand Island. The number of
those ships was not given. They
we're bombed by flying fortress
es but no hits were observed.
Three hours and a half later,
a group of destroyers which may
have been the same group turn
ed in the vicinity of Rendover
Island in the New Georgia
group, which suggested the pos
sibility they were moving in the
direction of Guadalcanal. At
that time those destroyers were
protected by 10 enemy fighters
and one dive bomber. They were
attacked by American dive
bombers and one was left burn
ing badly while another appear
ed to be sinking.

No Hope Of More
Fuel Indicted

WASHINGTON. Jan. A Up
- A senatorial committee call
Cd top-flight government offici-
ais before it today for an inquiry
into gasoline and fuel oil ration
ing but Chairman Maloney Cd
Conn., quashed any hope that
the investigation might lead to
increased allotments of the
fuels.
Maloney told reporters the
special committees preliminary
study had convinced him there
was no chance of increasing
supplies materially in the east
ern states but only hope for "a
little fairer distribution"
He made no secret Of the fact
he personally was interested in
obtaining additional fuel oil
shipments to New England, re-
marking:
"You can 60 without driving a
car, all right, but it's mighty
tough to be cold"
The Maloney group asked
Harold L. Ickes. the petroleum
administrator; Leon Henderson,
the retiring price administrator;
Joseph B. Eastmen, director Of
defense transportation; Chair
man Emory S. Land of the mari
time commission, and William
M. LETTERS, the rubber admin
strator, for testimony on future
supply prospects and the amount
of fuel oil and gasoline likely to
be available to the public.
This promised to be a busy
week for these officials, with the
possibility that they also would
be called before another special
senate committee, headed by
Chairman Clark (D-Mo.), for
questioning about the fuel oil
situation in the area west of the
Mississippi river to the Rocky
mountains.
Clark said the committee was
interested in learning the rea-
son for the issuance of what he
described as conflicting orders"
which he said were creating a
"bad situation" in the western
area.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 Up
- The crucible of global war
held for the incoming 18th Con-
gress to d ay one of history's
toughest assignments. - the job
of testing the nations stamina
as it fuses the ingredients of
manpower, money and material
for victory and eventual peace.
From its work will be shaped
the way of life on the home
front; from its appropriations
will be forged the weapons of
war for the American fighting
forces; from its deliberations
may come the pattern for last

The 18th Congress convenes
Wednesday. Not for a decade
has the membership of the House
and Senate been so evenly d.
vided, yet leaders Of both the
Democratic majority and the re-
surgent Republican minority
have declared that division
would disappear on war issues.
But the election-born realign-
ment and the determination Of
the Republicans to give Con-
gress greater initiative in writ
ing legislation may prove to
have a far-reaching effect on
matters affecting the civilian
population.

Elected in drives for economies,
