Life on Oregon
| War Bond Raft
|GroWs Sterner
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Oreg., Sept. al
Life on the War bond raft grows
sterner.
Aboard are seven war workers
VINO volunteered to sit on a Navy
raft in the Willamette River until
Oregon rescues them by filling the
State quota of s1O4,0OO, 900 in the
Third War Loan campaign.
The seven soon discovered there
were only Is gallons of water aboard.
They also discovered the Willamette
River is unsafe for drinking and
that the Coast Guard-sternly de-
termined to make it all as realistic
as if they were in the middle of the
Pacific-is keeping all boats away.
Barring rain, there will be no
additional water.
1t grew cold and the seven shouted
for some long underwear. Coast
guardsmen turned their backs.
By today, the third day, the shouts
from raucous Portlanders on shore
became tauntine. The replies from
the raft grew infrequent. The seven
stared longingly at ice cream cones
and hot dogs much in evidence
ashore. They continued their un-
successful efforts to land fish.
At latest report their rescue was
$50 1852 $3.50 away.

Col. James Roosevelt
Favors Push al Japs /.
Via Paramashiro

Back in Washington for few
days after two months in the Aleu-
tians, 1t. Col James Roosevelt. the
Presidents eldest son favors an
approach to the Japanese mainland
via the Jap base at Paramashiro,
recently attacked by American
forces.
He indicated this late yesterday
as he arrived from Los Angeles on
an American Airlines flagship. Smil-
ing and healthy looking, the Marine
officer said he "feels fine" and ap-
parently has recovered from the
malaria and stomach disorders from
which he had been suffering. He
has gained Is pounds in the past
three months, he said. He wears
six ribbons on his green marine
uniform, one representing the Navy
Cross.
Silent Mission Here.
Laughing off questions as to his
mission here, which he said he
could not discuss, Col. Roosevelt
held tight to a bulging brief case,
and chatted informally with the
press. He plans to leave for Los
Angeles next Wednesday. Since re-
turning from Alaska short time
ago, he had been at San Diego, and
at Los Angeles, where Mrs. Roose-
velt resides.
The question that drew the big
gest laugh from the colonel was
whether his father would run for a
fourth term.
He replied
You see him every day. Why
don't you ask him? I haven't seen
him for I don't know how long"
About Kiska, Col. Roosevelt said
that when the American forces
landed and found no living Japa-
nese it was a "letdown."
Il saw one dog on the island, and
heard there were two Others" he
said. 1--WE thought there were no
japanese left defending the island
after we landed, but after the fifth
day we were sure"
Military and naval authorities
know when and how the Japs got
away from Kiska, Col. Roosevelt
believes, but he wouldn't discuss
the matter further. Asked about
reports of a conflict between Army
and Navy intelligence. concerning
the Japs on the island, he replied
there was mo conflict"
In discussion of the line of at
tack on Japan by way of the Aleu-
tions, and Paramashiro, Col. Roose-
velt characterized that line as a
pretty close approach"
When asked if the Marines might
be used as "spearhead of attack
on the Japanese, he smiled and
said: The Marines always are a
spearhead on attack"
The exploit for which he was
awarded the Navy Cross, a Marine
raid on the Jap held island of
Maxim, was dismissed by the colonel
as too long \ago" to talk about.
1t was in August 1912. He was Sec
ond in command of Marine raiding
forces.
Col. Roosevelt's plane was de-
layed about four hours on account
of rain and fog. So thick was the
weather that his ship circled a long
time over nearby Virginia before 1t
landed. Following his custom of
reading while flying, Col. Roosevelt
had book with him. 49,;

Resistance 10 Nazis,
Reported Increased
By Italian Troops
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press. q.
BERN, Switzerland, Sept. 21.--
italian troops in the Piedmont area
are increasing their resistance to
German forces, a dispatch from
Italy to the Corriere del Tcino at
Lugano said today.
Fighting in the Turin area was
described as very violent" while
elsewhere in Northern Italy guer-
rilla warfare and sabotage is in
creasing.
Italy's railroad network has been
broken in several places, imperiling
German supply lines, the dispatch
said, and in some areas Nazi patrols
are compelled to guard railroad
workers. .
Meanwhile, dispatches to the Swiss
press expressed fears that the re-
treating German armies would con-
vert Rome into second Stalingrad.
A Chiasso dispatch to the news
paper Der Bund said the answer can
only be given by future events when
and if Nazi Marshal Albert Kessel-
rings forces retreat from Naples. @
If the Germans are compelled to
retreat, the dispatch said, it is be-
lieved they will destroy all railroad
lines now in their hands as we'll as
roads, bridges, factories and supply
depots which could be useful to the
Allied armies.
Der Bund said the German Army
had constructed no field fortifica-
tions along the Po River and there
were only troop concentrations in
the plains along the river in North
ern Italy. p"
1t added, however, that several
airf1elds were being built for the
German air force.
The impression is. the newspaper
added, that the German high COM
mand is aware of the inferiority OF
its air striking power as we'll as its
supply difficulties" and is unwilling
to take stand along the Po, favor
ing the line of the Alps.

Beat Sugar
Buying Record
BY BETTY MACDONALD
NEA Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June % -
Now that the home capning sea-
son is getting into full swing,
OPA spoilers report all-time re-
cord sugar buying throughout
the country, with one large west
coast refinery falling three
weeks short in supplies.
OPA economists repeat that
No. Is and l6 coupons must be
used for canning, and that addi-
tional sugar will not be granted
by ration boards unless the
housewife can prove that she
used her first 10 pounds to put
up jams, jellies and fruits, and
still has need of additional SUI
gar.
Another reason for extra
heavy buying, according to
OPA, is that many housewives
are cashing in their June cou-
pons which are now becoming
valid. Last year, Gamers used
up 463 600 short tons of sugar
on the victory canning program.
