that the invaders expected a long

In London, Lord Privy Seal
J Clement R. Attlee, who serves
as .Prime Minister Churchill's
5 deputy, told parliament that "the
initiative definitely has passed
over to the Russians," and he
added:
JJ "It is hardly even the pretense
of the German high command
2 that all these retreats are in so
cordance with plans, and these
"frantic appeals for warm cloth
Ming show more clearly than any
2 thing else that there has been a
complete upset of Hitler's plans."
J Inner Trouble
In this connection, London
2 newspaper reports said machine-
gun posts were being set up at
2 strategic points in Berlin, man
aned by Hitler's own SS (elite
2 guard) troops, as a precaution
against a coup d'etat, but a Brit
2 ish foreign office spokesman
warned that reports of a pos-
2 sible Internal upheaval in Ger
m many should be treated with re-
serve.
3 In the North African cam-
2 paign, the disclosure that British
a forces had advanced a total of
J 600 miles meant, if the distance
given were airline, that they had
cut around far .to the rear of
m the retreating main axis armies
3 to somewhere in the vicinity of
Misurata, Mediterranean sea
3 port, only 120 miles east of
Tripoli. If the figure meant

would, place the British advance

troops were said to. have pene

Feodosiya, which the Russians
J, have recaptured and -were ap-
parenuy using as a main case in

The. British radio quoted re

Klamath Tire
Rationing Board
Examines Needs
(Continued from Page One)
the procedure to be followed
is for an applicant who comes
under the eligibility classification
as established by the office of i
production management to come j
to the board's headquarters at i
the chamber of commerce and '
receive an application. When j
this application is properly
filled out it is then taken to:
one of the tire examiners and )
if this examiner certifies that the j
tire could not be recapped, then !
the application is returned to j
the board's headquarters for ac-I
ton.
It was further pointed out that
the applicant must establish the :
need for the tire regardless of
his eligibility to receive one.
The following was quoted '
from the Tire Rationing Regula-,
tions: j
The board may issue certifi- i
cates only to applicants who
show . . . "That the existing tires
or tubes cannot be recapped, re
treaded, or repaired for safe use
at speed at which the applicant
may reasonably be expected to
operate, or that such recapping,
repairing, or retreading 'cannot
be obtained without inordinate
delay."
At Wednesday's meeting,
Chairman Drury of the ration
ing board explained the prob
lems of the board, the dealers
and the motoring public in de
tail. He advised dealers to help
the public solve its tire prob
lems in the best way possible.
"Help them through their trou
bles now and you will make
friends that will help you in
your business later on," he said.
. Ha said that there should be
doubling up on the part of men
driving to and from work.
Discussing inspection, Drury
said: "We want an honest in
spection. Tires must be recapped
if possible. We must conserve
everything we have and make
it go as far as possible."
Percy Murray, a member of
the board, reminded the dealers
that "chiseling will make the
whole program collapse."
Tire re-capping operators here
are flooded with orders, it was
reported, and many people are
apparently getting tires not
neeed for immediate use. Oth
ers are without tires and are
forced to wait while the "hoard
ers" get their orders filled.
The monthly Klamath county
tire quotas are:
Casings Passenger cars. 64;
trucks, 150.
Tubes Passenger cars, 54;
trucks, 125.
The dealers at the meeting
Wednesday elected an executive
committee to confer with the
board on complaints and other
matters that may come up. The
members are Elmer Balsiger. J.
W. Jerns Jr., and Jack Schulze.
A committee to conduct a sur
vey of tire consumption here last
year is composed of A. D. John
son, James Kerns and B. C.
Shaw.

their strength for a vital blow.
The whereabouts and inten
tions of the United States Paci
fic fleet apparently were causing
renewed concern today in Tokyo.
There was evidence of this in
the enemy's recourse to the axis
guessing technique the circula
tion of vague reports designed
to elicit valuable information.
Both the Tokyo radio and a
German-controlled station coop
erated in broadca5ting the initial
feelers. Tokyo was heard report
ing an engagement between the
Japanese and American fleets in
the western Pacific. The naii
story, aired from a station in the
Netherlands, had the Japanese
attacking two US battleships en
route to Australia, and sinking
one of them.
The navy department here de
clined comment in Tokyo's sea
battle last night, and dismissed
the naii report as something con
taining "not an iota of truth."
It was noted in passing here,
however, that the reports hardly
bore out the repeated axis claims
that the Pacific fleet had been
"crippled." "knocked out," and
finally as one Japanese source
had it "destroyed to pieces" by
the Pearl Harbor attack.
The fog of war has shrouded
most of the naval operations in
the Pacific, but the concentration
of a strong Japanese naval force
at the southern tip of the Philip
pines recently was interpreted
here as an indication that the
enemy was preparing to launch
major scale operations against
the East Indies.
Police "Arsenal"
Of Alien Goods
Shows Increase
Klamath's arsenal, consisting
of goods turned over to police
officers by enemy aliens, was
augmented Thursday at noon
when three shotguns, five rifles
and "several hundred rounds" of
ammunition were brought to the
police station voluntarily. Assis
tant Chief of Police Earl Heuvel
stated.
To date the sheriff's office has
received two shotguns, two rifles.
two radios, two cameras and one
revolver.
Deadline on turning over ma
terial of this sort is 11 p. m.
Thursday. After that date arti
cles will be confiscated according
to government ruling.
Long Distance
Calls Delayed
3 Hours Here
Long distance calls from Klam

delayed three hours Thursday
afternoon due to technical trans
mission difficulties, Charles Sea
vey of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company announced.
Seavcy said that only one line
was available for commercial
use and it was "jammed to the
guards."
The jam resulted in only in
termittent reception of news on
the Associated Press teletypes at
the News-Herald offices.
It was expected the trouble
would be cleared up by Friday.

Distilleries Turn
To Defense Work
On OPM Orders
WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 P
The government today ordered
approximately 60 per cent of the
nation's distilleries to turn their
available facilities into produc
tion of industrial alcohol.
The order, issued by Donald
M. Nelson, OPM director of pri
orities, provided that distilleries
with facilities to make industrial
alcohol from corn or other grain
must use them after January 15
only in producing that type of al
cohol. It was estimated that 60 per
cent of the industry s capacity
was subject to the order.
At the same time. OPM
spokesmen said no shortage in
alcoholic beverages was antici
pated since there was more than
five years norma) supply al
ready in storage.

Twelve-hundred employes of
Long-Bell were on strike from
October 20 to December 15 in a
demand for higher pay, union

following a government, request
a week after war was declared
with the provision that both

1941 FUNDS LEFT
The Klnmath project of the
' United States bureau of reclame
. tion in Oregon and California,
I including the Tulelake project,
was allotted $113,000 from the
reclamation special funds, ac
cording to word received here
Wednesday from Washington,
D. C. This is for operation and
maintenance only, it is reported.
There is a carry over of J10,
000 from last year's appropria
tion for construction purposes,
according to Superintendent
B. E. Hnyden, balance left from
the $500,000 appropriation of the
1942 fiscal year. This is ample
to continue construction work
here, Hay don said.
President Roosevelt recom
mended to congress Wednesday
in his annual budget message
that it continue construction and
expansion of hydro-electric pro
jects in the three Pacific coast
states at a cost of more than
I $100,000,000 during the fiscal
I year starting next July 1. Rec-
tarnation work, financed from
i the reclamation fund, was sharp
1 ly cut with a total of $834,000
as compared to $6,512,000 for
! the current year.
WALL STREET SAYS
NEW YORK, Jan. 8 W The
billions to finance the gigantic
war effort, as outlined in Presi
dent Roosevelt's budget message
today, will be forthcoming as
rapidly as required.
This was the consensus in fi
nancial circles in Wall Street to
day. Top banking authorities said
the financial machinery of the
country was being effectively
meshed into the war effort, and
the job ot financing a Job doub
ling the efforts of the axis pow
ers would be accomplished.
Most financial leaders wanted
time to study the extensive mes
sage before making formal com
ment, but Frederick H. Eckcr,
chairman of the $5,000,000,000
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.,
nation's largest financial institu
tion, promptly said "I like it."
Another top financier said.
"Splendid. This assures that we
are going all out to win tho war.
It brings Pearl Harbor into every
home. Everyone will put his
shoulder to the wheel."
The securities markets took
the news of the unprecedented
spending and taxing with scarce
ly a ripple. The market for U. S.
government bonds was virtually
unchanged. Stocks were a little
lower, but quiet.
A federal tax bill of some
$26,000,000,000 for fiscal 1943,
on top of state and local taxes of
$8,000,000,000 or $9,000,000,000
would take around one third of a
national income estimated at
around $105,000,000,000, one au
thority pointed out. Recent esti
mates issued by the British em
bassy in Washington Indicated
that in England, taxes were tak
ing about 40 per cent of the na
tional income, or substantially
more than proposed here.
"If the British can do that, we
can readily take a third," said
this expert. He thought we could
take well over a third If neces
sary. The rise in the federal debt to
$110,000,000,000. said financial
men, might look like going in
hock for a long time, but they
pointed out that interest on this
debt at current rates of around
2 per cent would be only some
thing over $2,000,000,000 an

Wow, What a Big Figure
Or How Much Is Too Much?
By HENRY SUPER
NEW YORK. Jan. 8 (UP)
This may be screwy but
Did you ever try to figure out
how much $59,027,992,300 Is (or
Is It are)?
We did and the adding ma
chine needs an overhauling and
the grocer's bill looks like some
thing to be measured with a
micrometer.
First, let's get that amount In
dollar bills and lay them end to
end. A buck measures 6 18
inches.
That means the United States
in the next fiscal year Is going to
spend 381.548.442.837 inches
worth of greenbacks; 30.128.870,
238 feet lor is it feet's) worth of
lettuce and 5.708.225 miles.
The "mean" distance from the
earth to the moon is 238.857
miles.
Now let's go out and rustic up
the amount In silver dollars.
They make a very nice pile
about 845,000 miles high. That
little toothpick standing next to
it is the empire state building, a
mere Job of 1250 feet.
If you can stand this any
longer, we'll set out and count
the dough. You'd better not
make any dates though this Is
going to take quite some time.
You can accurately count
about 120 dollar bills a minute.
If you started today, and
worked 24 hours a day, it would
take 341.591 days to do the Job.
That figures out to be around 030
years, so you better count on
your social security.
The counting problem can be
attacked from another angle.
Granting that each generation
lives to be 60 and knows how to
count on the day of birth, it
would take about 46 generations,
each working eight hours a day,
365 days a year, to count the
nually, making a carrying charge
not much over 2 per cent of na
tional income, so long as income
is maintained at high levels.
