If we. can drive the enemy out of the skies at Pantelleria, we can drive him out of the skies ELSEWHERE. NY way, one looks at it, the A lessons learned at Pantelleria and the demonstrations given to what up to now has been theory are significant in the extreme.

They may influence the whole future conduct of the war. DANTELLERIA, is Crete in re- verse. If you'll gO back in your mind to the dark days of Crete, which the Germans took with air power along with, paratroops (they were THEN supreme in the air), you'll that though we weren't then in the war we were SCARED. It's a safe bet that after Pantei leria the Germans are scared. THE rest of the world is still relatively quiet.

The Russians say that for weeks the Germans have been jabbing for weak spots, along the whole vast Russian front, but haven't found any. German General Kurt Dietmas, who has been air-commentating a lot lately, says the eastern front has "put on fat" again and adds that a "platform for offensive operations" against Russia has been established. DAY little attention to these utterances on both sides. They are like the "bear" stories that precede big football games. It is deeds that will count.

the home front, the Oregon head of OPA renigs 011 his crack-down threats of what will happen to motorists using their A cards to drive for fun. He says today that anybody can use his 90 miles per month as he pleases for fishing, theatres, night clubs or what have you. But after the 90 miles, he adds, look out. LOW the does- 90-mile he limit? plan to How enforce will he know when your speedometer passes the 90 mile mark? Will he have a snooper following each car? HERE is the point: If they were properly handJed (that is, if intelligently ap pealed to instead of being crack ed down on). the people of this country would VOLUNTARILY and PATRIOTICALLY limit their driving.

There would be a few chiselers, of course, but in the whole vast picture the total of their chiseling would be absurd ly small. The pressure of aroused public opinion is practically irresistible. DUT when Americans are IM. PROPERLY handled vas large: ly they have been), beating the rationing becomes (unfortunate ly) something of a game 45 was beating prohibition. As a people, we're a lot easier to lead than to drive.

and her sister, Louise Smith DOUBTS CAST ON JAP BOAST CHINA'S great victory over the Japs has won increasing acclaim for our long-suffering, neglected ally. It is always a thrill to see a badly mauled boxer rise from the ring canvas to deliver a knockout to his opponent. When he achieves such a victory without help from his corner, it is a sure sign of stamina and fighting heart. The Chinese, it is true, had some help from American fliers, and undoubtedly had been carefully concentrating supplies from the meager trickle received from other United Nations powers for the purpose of the come-back blow, but the Victory credit belongs to the Chinese nation. The American people are impatiently awaiting a concerted United Nations drive to relieve the desperate Chinese.

In fact, our war leaders are being vigorously "needled" to do more for China. A more aggressive war in the Pacific is most carnestly desired, but our military leaders are the ones best qualified to know where our efforts can do the greatest good and most quickly end the war. The Chinese victory has definitely proven that the war with Japan will be well on the way to an end when the time comes that modern military weapons can be put in the hands of the Chinese soldiers in ample quantity. Admiral Tojo of Japan recently told his people this would be a 100-year war, but he wisely omitted saying which 100 years, and, anyway, none of the present crop of Japs will ever know whether or not. his predictions come true.

But we imagine the Chinese as well as MacArthur's men in the South Pacific and the forces in the Aleutians already have caused plenty of doubts in the Japanese minds. The OPA issues a ban on pleasure driving and warns that anyone whose car is found along a trout stream will have some explaining to do to his ration board. Ickes, national director of fisheries, urges everyone to go fishing to supplement his diet and issues a long diatribe on the excellence of scrap fish scorned by most Americans. Rubber Czar Jeffers informs the public the rubber program is coming along nicely, while the ODT cries that "there ain't going to be no tires for nobody." The president orders his teammates to "Hold That Line" to prevent inflation, so they roll back prices and pay subsidies to processors who weren't, doing so bad in the first place, socking the taxpayer more than the commodity price would have risen and leaving the poor farmer to struggle along without machinery, farm help or profit. One branch of the government raises wages and another says the people are making too much money and taxes must be increased to skim off the surplus.

We see good reason for the comment in the Reader's Digest on the government's evaluations: "Three points on brains, six points Female Deer, Elk May be Opened To Oregon Hunting EDITORIAL.

WORDEN CORIES LAKE, Attu, May 30 -(Delayed) -(AP)- On this bloody Memorial day, when the navy department announced the annihilation of the last organized enemy resistance on this Aleution island, the Japanese disclosed a new technique in mass suicide- -with hand grenades. After being surprised by a des: perate Japanese counterattack yesterday that brought temporary gains, the Americans rallied to rout the Japs and slaughter them by hundreds in the fighting that ended today. The final Japanese resistance began yesterday morning at 4 a. a madly yelling mob of Japanese army and navy personnel and civilians, apparently every man be mustered into action in the Attu village sector rushed American positions above Cories lake. They succeeded in reoccupying positions from which they had been driven days before.

That attack took American forces by surprise. At an advanced command post near here, sleeping soldiers were bayoneted and grenaded in their pup tents and in holes. At least one American small field gun was fox, turned against our own forces. A few snipers penetrated even beyond Gen. E.

M. Landrum's headquarters, to the west and east. Their attack stopped, the desperate Japanese died, almost to a man. Hundreds were killed by our fire. Some killed themselves.

One last hopeless Jap attack by about 50 was made at 5 a. m. today on a command above Cories lake. But there was no surprise this time. American fire swept through the ranks of the yelling Japs.

They broke, ran into gullies and there in grisly masses held their own grenades against their chests after banging them against their helmets to start the detonating mechanism. Their bodies lie in piles tonight. NEW DIAL LOG By SUSAN The newest of our news commentators, Gabriel Heatter, created quite a furor, when he dropped in to the six o'clock spot Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but after a general tearing to pieces and putting together of the program again, we think we have evolved a better evening schedule than we had before.

Fallen in the cause of the free. They went with song to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn At the going down of the sun in the morning We will remember them.
