For instance, we can't get Klamath Falls bank clear ings or other bank fieures any more. When the local independent banks became a part of statewide branch banking institutions, separate information about finan cial operations in this community went by the board. Bank statements now srive figures for the entire state. wide operations, without a hint as to the extent of these operations in individual communities. Railroad officials here are hesitant about giving out information on local freight shipments, and if there hap pens to be a wreck hereabouts, you have to get your Klamath Falls news from San Francisco or somewhere Local weather bureau employes won't tell you how the weather was 50 years ago without getting an o. k. from somebody in Seattle or some other distant point. Usually, local officials of government setups are afraid to talk about anything without getting authority from some far away higher-up. The utilities telephone and power con panies seem to trust their local officials a little more than some of the others, but a lot of the news about these operations has to be cleared somewhere out of town. Probably no individual is to blame for this sort of thing, least of all the local officials representing the various firms and public agencies. They would like to give out important and interesting local information. for they know it would be of value to people .here and would in most cases build good will. But some public relations expert sitting in a distant office somewhere might object The various outfits we have mentioned, and others in a similar situation, are represented by intelligent men who certainly could be trusted with the responsibility of giving out local Information. They know more about what . would be of value and interest locally than distant higher- ups who Insist on controlling the information. They ought to oe given the authority to talk, and people in towns and cities like Klamath Falls ought to be given prompt . and locally-slanted news about things that concern them ana tneir communities. Visit the Polls January 20 EVERY citizen of Klamath county should resolve now to visit the polls in his precinct when they are opened January 20 for the purpose of receiving defense bond and stamp pledge cards. People should visit the polls, whether or not they feel they can pledge to buy bond and stamps. (Pledges can be made for even as low as 25 cents a week). Those who do not call at their precinct headquarters will be hunted up and interviewed by mopping up crews. It will be more convenient to all concerned if they will make the effort on January 20. A copy of the pledge card, to be used in the forth coming campaign, will be found in this paper today. It will appear once or twice more before January 20. Using it, a citizen can consider his finances ahead of time and decide what defense bond and stamp purchases he can agree to make. . That wiir speed up the procedure at the polls. News Behi THEM By PaulMallon Klamath raises a lot of potatoes but it is having a hard time getting its $10,000 Red Cross fund together. At last reports, early this week, the total received was just short of $5000 or half the quota. Maybe some Deschutes seed would help out in that field, too. Bend Bulletin. Take it, fellers, and like it, until we get this Red Cross deal cleaned up. "The Suicide of Japan" fa a headline in the New York Sun. Here's hoping such confidence is justified. Joe Louis passed his army medical examinations with ont trouble. A fine physical specimen, no doubt. YASHINGTON, Jan. IS The uuiuim lines ox uuormaiion from inside Germany fail to confirm the suggestion that Hit ler's regime is about ready to crack. Disputes apparently have arisen among the nazi leaders, but there have always been per sonal competition and friction among them. Von Ribbentrop's foreign office, for instance, has as its experts on American af fairs, Hans Dieckhoff, former German ambassador to Wash ington, and Ritter, former Am bassador to Brazil. The army maintains its own American ex pert, Kniep. former consul gen eral at New York. The foreign office, the min istry of information, the army and others have been scrapping among themselves, as usual, bui largely in the way of competing for Hitler's favor (just as gov ernment departments here fight for the support of Roosevelt on various projects). Hitler encourages this by the way he works. When an impor tant decision is to be made, he calls in his generals, admirals, department chiefs and lets them fight it out in front of him. He has been known to goad them to the point of fistf ighting Something like that happened when the decision to move into Russia was made. Many of his generals wanted to eliminate the reds before attacking Eng land. Goering opposed this vio lently. He did not want to use up his air force in Russia fa vored an all-out blow against England. After hearing the ar guments. Hitler went off alone and made the decision. OVEREMPHASIZED The dismissal of General von Brauchitsch also may have been overemphasized in the outside world. Hitler's personal military strategist is General Jodl. He is always with Hitler. He planned the tactics of the cam paigns. After the conquest of the Balkans he arranged the surrender of Yugoslavia and Greece for Hitler. He has not been replaced. ' Recall of Von Bock from the front may mean that this lead ing offensive general is being fired, or it may mean he will suddenly reappear leading new offensive for Hitler (as the British did with Wavell). Shift ing of some of the other gen erals looks more like prepara tion for a spring campaign In Russia than an evidence of in ternal army demoralization. Now, every one here would be happy enough to believe the long awaited nazi collapse is at hand, but none of the authori ties is impressed by the evi dence so far. They think rumors furnish very dangerous comfort for us. Actually some officials believe the nazis themselves have put out some of the "col lapse" stories indirectly in order to weaken our morale and our war effort. The nazi army Is too closely fled in with the nazi party to lead anyone here to suppose it would seek a peace, even If Hit ler decided to step out. Obvious ly the first thing the united na tions will do In peace Is to abolish the German army, and the army leaders well know this. The prevailing opinion here is that Hitler will have to be defeated on the field of battle January 18, 1943 SIDE GLANCES COWL 1W1IYW1 tOTVKt. INC. T Ii. MO. U. 9. FAT. QfT. "Which shall we do leave a tip or have another cup of coffee ? When the Japs moved into air fields only 175 miles from Singapore, hopes slipped sharp ly here. Up to then, the Japa nese were required to use navy carriers as bases for their pur suit ships accompanying their bombers.

From the Evening Herald January 13. 1932 Mercury dropped to five de grees above zero this morning and the day's maximum was just 10 above. Boxing potatoes in wooden I containers for shipment from the Klamath, basin was discussed at a chamber of commerce meeting, with Jack Grafton, Henry Se mon, C. A. Henderson and Wil liam Barron participating. Local hotel men reported that false rumors about the condition of the Greensprings highway are being circulated in the Rogue river valley. Jack Fensler. 11, of Tulelake. was moved to his home after spending two weeks in a local hospital recovering from auto ac cident injuries. Klamath gunners were out to- they will be able to bring their Dest method of attack into play. SIMPLIFICATION Most harassed of all defense organizations is the simnlifica- tion division of OPM's bureau of industrial conservation. It has been working three months ana all it has been able to sim plify is toothpicks (actually). Lawyers for business firms will not allow them to coorjerate (to standardize paper bags, al low only a few kinds of carbon and writing papers, etc.) for fear of anti-trust laws. Assistant At torney General Thurman Arnold has written a letter Dromlsine immunity and Attorney General Biddle has approved it, but the business lawyers say the suc cessors of Biddle and Arnnlri might change the policy (they remember what happened in the Madison oil trials). They want legislation, but Arnold and RiH. die are afraid they will never get the anti-trust laws back on the statute books', if war tim immunity is legislated. The simplification program has thus peen sabotaged by red tape. From the Klamath Republican January 16. 1902 Louis Gerber, well known stockman of Klamath county, was in town from Lorclla yes terday, accompanied by his wife and child. The new railroad town, Bend, In Crook county, to which place the Columbia Southern railroad designs to build this year, will be located near the Deschutes river about 100 miles north of big Klamath lake and not very far from the county line between Crook and 'Klamath. An Ashland correspondent of the Portland Telegram expresses his opinion that Fort Klamath will be the ultimate stopping place of the railroad now build ing between Klnmathon and Po kegama. In relation to this, we say that Klamath Falls Is the only feasible point where the railroad can touch the river and all the lakes at one place. That Fort Klamath will get a railroad there is no doubt, but it will be the Columbia Southern, which Is building south from Shanlko this year.
