AID FOR JAPS

tJied reinforcements can arrive
to take hand In the battle of

Howover, a Uttlo Item from
he distant Russian front today
cmlndit ik forcibly that Hitler
indnubtedly 1 a preparing t o

vlll be calculated to divert ai

Qour chances of bombing Jap

ly Important. The bolshuvlsta
have a large air force at Vladi
vostok only about 600 miles away
from Nippon.
I should say that right now our
chief striking power must come
from aircraft curriers. Wo have
no bases near enough to the Jap
anese mainland to enable us to
do much pructicul bombing, em
ploying Die long distance bomb
ers commonly In use by America
and Britain. These ships can fly
aoma 3000 miles without heavy
load, but obviously their service
able bombing radius Is consider
ably less than half that distance
because allowance must be mnde
for adverse winds, maneuvering
and the return trip home.
Now If Vou will glance at your
far eastern maps you will see
that our available bases are out
side tho battle radius of such
machines, so far aa concerns
Japan proper. We could get at
Formosa from Manila and that
would be exceedingly valuable,
for Formosa is a strong base
or we could reach the Japs in
Hainan or French Indo-China.
Tokyo or the other great cities
of Nippon arc too far away.
Of course, you will remind me
that the newspaper! long have
been discussing bombers which
are said to do much mora than
3000 miles. Also It's true that
emergencies like the present fre
quently produce quick Improve
ments. However, for the pur
poses of this article we will
stick to the bombers now in gen
eral uso. If we have anything
elso In mind for the Japs they
will hear of It soon enough
and they may have cause for the
concern they have been showing
about possible air raids.
PRIVATE FLYING
TO BE RESUMED
Private flying will be re
sumed from the municipal air
port Immediately, following rein
statement of private licenses sus
pended when war broke out. ac
cording to Max Gutlcy, manager
of the Klamath Air service.
Guiley asked that the public
be fully Informed that private
filers will be In the air In order
to prevent any confusion or be
lief they are enemy aviators.
The local filers, ha aald, have
been reinstated without difficul
ty following the routine suspension.
All of the local planes used by
private fliers, Guiley stated, are
marked with NC and a number
on the lower side of the planes.
The private fliers will be In
the air during the daytime. Only
In a most unusual and unexpect
ed case, he said, will any private
fliers here be up at night.

RATION NG 0
TIRES STARTS
JANUARY 7
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18
Tho government prepared mach
inery today for its first wartime
step Into over-the-counter ration-
Ins;, aimed at conserving crude
rubber by barring sales of auto
mobile tires for non-essential
use.
Civilian rationing boards In
every community developed
from state and local defense
councils will decide which in
dividuals are entitled to ration
cards. The system is to become
effective Jan. 4.
Acknowledging the possibility
of more rationing In the future.
Civilian Supply Director Leon
Henderson said the rationing
boarda could become the frame,
work for controlling the dlstri.
button of other civilian article. ,
Henderson said warfare In the
Pacific, cutting off rubber Im
ports, necessitated an 80 per cent
reduction in crude rubber pro.
cesslng and curtailment of civil
ian consumption from 47,000
tons monthly to 10,000 tons.
Every new passenger ear
made will get four tires, but will
have no spare or one made of
reclaimed rubber, Henderson
told a press conference yester
day. Manufacture of new pas
senger tires will be eliminated
almost entirely for the present.
Planes of the present, such as
the new airliners with four 1100
horsepower engines, can carry
32 passengers and crew, as well
as a ton of mall at a speed of
230 miles an hour.
According to a recent survey,
approximately 30 per cent of air
travelers in the United States
are women.
Since their pectoral flying fins
are not developed until they are
grown, flying fish cannot "fly",
until then. - ..
