War-Time Highway roiicy AMONG the things that communities such as ours will have to jrive up durintr the war period is highway construction which is not considered essential to the war effort. The highway commission at its meeting this week made public a statement establishing a definite policy of confining work to projects in that classification, plus sur veys and planning; for post-war construction when the present restrictions can be lifted. It is Tjoaaible that a number of projects of importance to the communities of the Midland Empire will be re garded as essential to the war program. Location of various war-time activities in the area will no doubt affect such decisions. The development of a huge evacuation project at Tulelake, for instance, may well have a rela tionship with certain highway work in. this area. The same may be true of airport development at Klamath Falls and Lakeview. The through routes that traverse this area are ob viously of military significance. The fact that contracts have been let for a new bridge and re-location work at the western end of the Willamette highway points to a recognition of the war-time importance of that road and Its connecting routes. Local highway committees cease their activities at this time. They can proceed along the lines suggested by the war-time policy, directing at tention to the military significance of various projects and supplying valuable information to the authorities. Highway promotion groups here long ago adopted a con structive and patriotic policy velopment; moving along those lines, they can continue to render service to their communities and to the war effort ........ No Antelope Convention rCE antelope on Hart mountain will wait in vain this summer for the exciting clouds of dust that mark the movement of automobile caravans across the desert. Deer will browse in the mountainside thickets, undis turbed by panting hikers. The grassy carpet at the Blue Sky hotel will go untrampled. For the famed Order of the Antelope will not meet in 1942 at the mountain wonderland in eastern Lake county. War-time shortages of gas, tires and automobiles led to the decision to break a 10-year tradition of annual gatherings in the verdant grove on the mountainside. It was in June, 1932, that the Order of the Antelope was formed to promote public and official interest in the antelope sanctuary there. Since then, the area has been organized into a great federal wildlife refuge of more than 250,000 acres, where herds of antelope and deer have prospered and expanded. The men who have become Hart mountain enthus iasts will not gather this summer, but they will look for ward to a happy reunion "after the duration" with Joe Shirk's barbecue sending up tempting odors from the pit, the wind in the pines and the aspens overhead, and the high desert stretching its pattern of shadows and colors out toward Nevada and the purple Steeas in the far distance. Avengers Will Gather "PEARL HARBOR avengers" will meet in the Elks tem r pie Sunday at the exact hour the Japanese began their treacherous bombing six months ago. It will be a service dedicated to a stronger navy to carry the war to Japan and its Axis allies, and patriotic Klamath peo ple will help make it an event of significance by their at tendance. Some of the churches are making special ar rangements so that members of their congregations may attend. Young men who are currently enlisting In the navy, nd number of aviation cadets, will take the oath at the Pearl Harbor avenging program. It will mark another step m Klamath's contribution to the strength of our armed forces.

By &ULkUON . Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, June 4, Do not overlook the import of dispatches from General Mac Arthur's front. He has been bombing the advance Jap bases of Rabaul and Lee dally, while all that the Japs have been able to present in the war o( retalia tion are twice a week air thrusts at northern Australian points. Three times have the Japs struck out overland on the short Journey to Moresby and Lae. (You will read this column bet ter with, a map.) First they were halted in the jungle by floods: the next two times by Austral ians, and perhaps some Amer icans. They also tried to come around in great naval force to take it by sea. But they ran into MacAr thur's bombers and a large American naval force and retir ed after the famous battle of the Coral sea. Lately they have been sending over planes in apparent prepara tion for a parachute attack next, but MacArthur is keeping plenty of interceptors around handy to receive them. While his bases ars in Aus tralia, he flies fighters or inter ceptors over to do their missions against Jap aircraft in New Guinea and then refuels them there before returning. Thus, without strong bases around Port Moresby, he nevertheless has been able to maintain su premacy in the air there. You can read the results of these tactics plainly in the pub lic utterances of the Australian Prime Minister John Curtin. A month ago he was hollering his head off for help. Last Wednes day he dared the Japs to invade. GOOD-SIZED FORCE The Japs probably never in tended to invade Australia, but they hava had their eyes on cer tain strategic northern points, Broome, Port Darwin and Wynd ham. All they have been able to do about these is to bomb them and make them somewhat haz ardous points for MacArthur to base any large number of planes. He can use them but he cannot enlarge them much. We now have a considerable force in Australia. The Aussies have a couple of divisions fresh ly back from Libya. (The Japs know all this). About 250,000 more Australian troops are ready now, the group they start ed to train before Pearl Harbor. Many more are in reserve, not yet quite ready for action. While Australia is a very large place, and the Japs could no doubt land at many northern points if they could get suffi cient force together, it appears MacArthur's tactics have defi nitely stopped their southward" aggression. His way of breaking up their irresistible" sea-land-air blitz advances has been to keep them from getting started. His idea is to hit them before they start. and his daily bombings of Lae and Rabaul have served that FLASH!

Most of the Jap naval forces have been withdrawn from the Bay of Bengal, which suggests that the threat of invasion of India is likewise growing more remote. American bombing of the Andaman islands caused the yellow fellows to move their seacraft back to safety. Also the rainy season has start ed out there in sufficient force to discourage any attempt against India at this time. THREAT The Jap pincers drive Into China, however, remains an in distinct but serious threat. More Jap troops are constantly being poured into central China. So far they have not shown sufficient Initiative to warrant the conclusion that they want to drive through into the heart of China, and annihilate the Chin ese armies. They seem only to want to push deep enough to seize any airfields from which Japan might be bombed. Their accumulation' of strength in China may likewise be designed for safety against a possible Russian attack, or for starting one. At any rate it Is clear they are massing their ma jor . strength in the center of radius of their conquests, and near to home. The Chinese blew bridges on the Burma road, but the Japs came up the Salween river from Burma and have now cut all the alternate land routes from India. Those roads upon which 50,- 000 coolies were put to work and the railroad lines that were being constructed have been abandoned by the Chinese. The only ways still open are through the skies and around by camel and elephant pack through lofty Tibet. A dispatch from China recent ly said we had ten transport ear, orr. planes running to Chungking, making two trips a day, but these can Ho little mere than carry parts and supplies for our fighting P-40's In the Chinese air force.
