life can be successfully or even respectfully lived without it? We all shake our heads sadly over our predicament, and then wait for the other fellow to stop it first, each side perhaps eager to be the benevolent victor. “In confusion we stumble blindly along with prayers for peace on our lips and bloodstains on our hands, afraid to go forward, afraid to stop, and troubled by strangely perplexed hearts, wherein savagery and virtue reside intertwined. “So, in my opinion we will never stop wars until we individually cease fighting them and that’s what I propose to do. I propose we proclaim a moratorium on all presumed debts of evil done us, to start afresh by wiping the slate clean and continuing to wipe it clean. = ” 2 “PLEASE ALLOW ME to say that although to some persons this brief revelation of my views may come, perhaps, as a mild surprise, they (the views) were on file well over a year ago and had, of course, long been taken for granted by my personal friends. “Furthermore I am, and have been, fully aware of the possible consequences arising from such an action as mine in these emotional times, but against all eventualities I am fortified with an inner conviction that seems to increase proportionately with every obstacle I face. “This decision is not the result of an unstable, overnight reformation, nor do I claim to have found something new or unique. It is but the mature result of hours, days and years of research and reflection upon principles within touch of our noses since birth, principles that have confirmed themselves so deeply into my being as to make any other course for me a nightmare of hypocrisy and deceit. “For though in the past I have

M'CLURE NAMED TO GOP TOWNSHIP POST

Edwin McClure, former G., O. F. county committee secretary and the party’s nominee for probate court judge in 1938, has been named chairman of Washington township outside precincts, County Chairman James Bradford announced today. Mr, Bradford said the area, including seven precincts north of the city limits, was growing in political importance due to rapidly increasing population. He added that Mr. McClure’s appointment was in line with his policy of honoring those “who have demonstrated that they would work diligently and tirelessly for Republican success.” Mr, McClure lives at 6206 Dean road and is a candidate for probate court judge in the May 5 primary. Meanwhile, the formal opening of the Ostrom-for-Mayor club downtown headquarters in the K. of P. building has been delayed because of pre-Easter services in local churches, club officials announced. The ground floor headquarters have been completed and the opening has been set for April 6. Harold B. West is club president.

warships, 46 transports and 50 airplanes up to March 1. Since then the American and Australian pilots were credited with sinking about 28 enemy ships, including at least 14 warships, In the islands north of Australia. Some of these may duplicate Col. Eubank’s figures but in any event the total is high. Counting the enemy ships knocked out in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies as well as those reported hit or sunk around new Guinea and New Britain islands, the total number of enemy casualties would be approximately 30 warships and 60 transports in addition to probably 200 airplanes. Not all of the Japanese craft were sunk, however, and some may have been attacked more than once. The Japanese advances in central Burma were costly but important. The greatest immediate danger appeared to be on the allied west flank, where the enemy pushed 20 miles northward to the village of Shwedaung, only 10 miles south of Prome. London said that British forces probably would be forced to with draw northward from Prome toward the big oil fields about 100 miles away.

Move North From Toungoo

The Chinese still were fighting in the Toungoo sector on the Burma east flank at last reports, but their main operations were north of that town where they repeatedly counter-attacked the enemy and caftured several villages and the Kxungan “airdrome on Sunday to clear the way for allied withdrawal to their main positions on the highway running 200 miles north to Mandalay. Today's allied raids against Koepang and Lae were destructive, Australian communiques said. At least six enemy airplanes were believed destroyed on the ground at Koepang, while at Lae the Japanese airdrome was hard hit and set afire. At Lae, the allied planes—believed to include flying fortresses—struck through bad weather and dropped their bombs from 26,000 feet. Hangars and runways were reported destroyed.

Reorganize in Australia

The Japanese position in New Guinea appeared to be difficult since their forces advancing into the Markham valley previously had been driven back 27 miles to Lae due to floods and the rainy season now is likely to disrupt land operations for weeks. Australian Premier John Curtin gave a formal pledge at Melbourne that neither the Australian government nor the parliament would interfere or “over-ride the decisions” of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's supreme command of the war in the southwest Pacific. Australia’s war cabinet approved a reorganization of the armed forces, including appointment of nine new generals, after a warning by Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey that the nation “must be prepared for an invasion” and “this year will determine whether Australia is to live or die.” Leaders Oppose India Plan

In India, the most powerful single party is the all-India congress, of ATLANTA, Ga., March 31 (U.P). —There is no cause for panic over the nation’s rubber shortage, W.H. Mason, director of public relations for the General Tire and Rubber Co. asserted today. Speaking to an automobile parts dealers convention here, Mr. Mason declared that present stocks, imports and synthetic production wotld fill military needs and leave ample rubber for civilian use. “The answer to the problem is

opposed the plan primarily on the ground that it called for Indian participation in the war. | Azad also was opposed and probably expressed the fundamental reason for congress opposition—that the plan makes it possible for the powerful Moslem minority to remain outside the new dominion or set up a separate dominion Nehru’s position was not clarified, but it was indicated that he favored counter-proposals.

UPON READING THIS statement aloud, Ayres, the current hero of the Dr. Kildare movies and the ex-husband of the Misses Ginger Rogers and Lola Lane, seemed to get a grip upon his emotions and managed to talk informally about his inner battle with himself. “I do not go to any church regularly,” he said, “but I do have a genuine religion of my own, and my convictions confirm that religion. I am certain that my role in ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ had a powerful influence on my life. I was 20 when I played the part of the German soldier who abhorred war and I thoroughiy believe that the picture had much to do with my later thinking and my present step.” As for suggestions from Hollywood that he had ruined his future as a motion picture star, Ayres said: “If my picture career is ruined, then I am sincerely sorry, but—" He shrugged, peeled off his cus-tom-tailored coat, and prepared to crawl into his upper berth for a sleep which he said he feared would be long in coming. 2 ” 2 BORN IN MINNEAPOLIS, Ayres started his career in the entertainment world as a banjo player and made his first Hollywood success in one of Greta Garbo’s early pictures. In Oregon, the 33-year-old actor will spend the duration of the war clearing underbrush, chopping trees and building fire trails.
