ATH FALLS, like most other cities of its class,

srirttfHtatus who haven't the authority to say anything
S,f Eaiiuch public and private business herje is done by
the local subsidiaries of some larger outfit, witn tne na
clamped on information about these operations, that local
people are deprived of a great deal of important local
Information they have a right to Know.
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.

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

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

simplification program has thus
