New Flood Crest Rises
In Willamette Valley

PORTLAND, Oreg., Jan. l (P.-
Evacuation orders went out today to
more flood-plagued Willamette VAL
ley communities as q new crest
mounted in the wake of an inunda-
ton that already has done damage
estimated at 5000, 900.
c. c. Mongold, resident Army en-
gineer at Eugene, hub of the current
Willamette River flood, told resi-
dents of Santa Clara, Riverwood
Glenwood and Good Pasture Island
to quit their homes in those fertile
farming lowlands.
Between 1000 and 1000 residents
left or were evacuated from their
homes yesterday, mostly in West
Springfield, where muddy water
stood three feet deep today in the
business and residential sections,
and In Glenwood.
But the new order was expected to
affect almost l 900 additional persons
who were in the path of f1oodwaters
that were rising one tenth of q foot
each hour after receding momen-
tarily from 1877 feet to 1873 last
night. Eugene's flood stage is II

Island. Results were not reported
"(b). United States troops on
Guadalcanal Island killed 20 jap
anese in routine patrol activity"
The reported presence of Japanese
fighter planes at Kiska came as
something of a surprise to naval
men here since it had been many
weeks since the Japanese had offered
any aerial resistance over their base
there.
The best they had been able to do
since last fall had been to oppose
repeated American air attacks on
their shipping and shore installa-
tions with anti-aircraft fire which
at times was weak.
The sudden appearance of four
Zero planes apparently indicated
not only a determination on the
enemy's part to hold on to the is
land as long as possible but also an
ability to get in sufficient supplies
of aviation gasoline and other ne
cessities for the operation of at
least few planes.
There was no explanation as how
it was possible for four or the
clumsy float planes to outshoot the
fast and heavily-gunned Lightning
planes. One explanation suggested
by oncers issuing the communique
was that weather conditions might
have governed the results and that
the Zeros might have attacked out

Meanwhile, he said, new features
are constantly being developed and
put into practice on the ships being
constructed under the long-range
building program. This program,
under way before the war, features
sleek &C" design ships of various
sizes and greater speeds than the
Liberty ship, which has q dead
weight tonnage of about 10,5OO tons
and Is designed for mass produc-
ton.
Admiral Land said the necessity
Of maintaining American troops on
the worlds fighting fronts, together
with greater demand for materials
to be shipped to our Allies, will re-
quire greater effort on the part of
United States shipyards and the
merchant marine than during the
first year of the war.
So long as the war lasts, he as
serted, there will never be enough

Barring disastrous weather, we
can continue to meet all essential
food requirements. We can't af-
ford to waste a pound of food"

Donald M. Nelson-"In l943 we shall
be living in full war economy. 80
1t will be a hard year, but it will
be fruitful. We are being tested as
never before, but because we know
what is at stake, am sure we shall
meet the test"
Petroleum Administrator Ickes-
II see no prospect of any relaxa-
ton Of ration restrictions in 1943.
So long as there is a rubber prob
lem, SO long will there be rationing
OF gasoline. So long as we have q
transportation problem on the At
lantic seaboard, so long also will we
have to continue to ration our sup
plies of fuel oil. 1t may well be that
conditions will get much worse be-
fore they get better; that the cuts
already made will have to be deep
ened."
Secretary Of Commerce Jones pre-
dicted the national income, estimated
at $1l7,000, ,000, 900 in 1912, will soar
to record $135, ,000, 900 900 total. But

Text Of Formal Statement.
The text Of the Presidents formal
statement follows:
"One year ago. 26 nations signed
at Washington the Declaration by
United Nations.
THE world situation at that mo-
ment was grim indeed. Yet on that
last New Year Day these nations.
bound together by the universal
ideals of the Atlantic Charter,
signed an act of faith that military
aggression, treaty violation and cal
culated savagery should be remorse-
lessly overwhelmed by their COM
blned might and the sacred prin-
ciples of life, liberty and the pursuit
OF happiness be restored as cher
ished ideals Of mankind. They thus
created the mightiest coalition in
history, mighty not only for its
overwhelming force but still more
for its eternal spiritual values.
Three other nations have since
joined that coalition.
THE unity thus achieved amidst
dire danger has borne rich fruit. The
United Nations are passing from the
defensive to the offensive.
"The unity achieved on the battle
line Is being earnestly sought in the
not less complex problems on diff
ferent front. In this as in no pre-
v1ous war men are conscious of the
supreme necessity of planning what
Is to come after-and Of carrying
forward into peace the common ef-
fort which will have brought them
victory In the war. They have come
to see that the maintenance and
safeguarding Of peace Is the most
vital single necessity in the lives of
each and all OF us.
Our task on this New Year Day
is threefold: First, to press on with
the massed forces of free humanity
till the present bandit assault upon
civilization Is completely crushed;
second, so to organize relations
among nations that forces of bar
barism can never again break loose;
third, to cooperate to the end that
mankind may enjoy In peace and in
freedom the unprecedented bless
1ngs which Divine Providence.

Victory Seen Nearer in 7o43:
Better Liberty Ship Planned
Leaders Warn u S. Impoct Of War
Will Hit Whole Nation Harder

The American people will
travel a rocky road in 1943, but
they will approach nearer to VIC
tory, high officials predicted to-
day as the New Year started.
Secretary of the Navy Knox and
Secretary of War Stimson were
among those forecasting ulti-
mate triumph, but only after the
home front has felt further the
impact of war.
At the same time Rear Admiral
Emory S. Land, chairman of the
Maritime Commission, announced
that America was forging a new
weapon, an advanced type Of the
Liberty ship, bigger, faster and less
vulnerable to submarine attack,
which will be produced this year.
Secretary Stimson said: Despite
some initial defeats in the year just
past, America has now firmly set
its feet on the way to victory. It is
a long, hard road, beset with many
obstacles. We are fighting enemies
who are strong and who are de-
termined to fight to the end.
Our Army Praised.
Fortunately, our Army-in its
equipment, its training, its leader
ship and the provisions made for the
health and safety of its mems
more powerful with each passing
day. Backed by the determination
of the American people to support
1t with everything in their power,
1t will be force against which in
the end no nation or combination
of nations can prevail. Nineteen
forty-three will be a hard year, but
one which, God willing, will bring
us nearer to victory"
Secretary Knox said: "Our pros
poets are brighter; 1943 will be
better than 1912; we have paved the
roads to the battleflelds all over the
world. The great war machine Of
the United Nations is gathering
strength and momentum. But we
must expect more reverses before
the enemies power is broken. They
are still strong, cunning and ruth
less. Millions Of them are ready to
die If they cannot win.
'The offensive has passed into
our hands. but each of us on the
home front will have to tighten his
belt, work harder, and get along
with less and less, so that our men
in the battle line will have what
they must have to win. 1t will be
grim struggle-make no mistake.
There are tears and WEAKNESS
ahead. But beyond the shadows is
certain victory!"
Admiral Land reported the new
Liberty ships will emphasize the
speed feature, which will be in
creased sufficiently to render the
ships less vulnerable to submarine
attack during the war and at the
same time increase and improve

said that their first thoughts of the
new year were for a speedy Allied
victory.
Less Noise Downtown.
Police officers patrolling the
downtown theater district said there
were fewer celebrators than usual,
fewer fireworks and less noise. They
were at loss, however, whether to
attribute the extreme quiet to a

about by the war or to the fact that
gasoline rationing kept SO many of
