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.

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!

purpose better than repelling
them at Fort Moresby or in Aus
tralia. 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.

Hitler called the devil up
On the telephone) today.

ened to all they had to say.
"Hello, Hello," Old Hitler said
"Is old man Satin home!
Just tell hjm It Is the dictator
who wants him on the
phone.
Tho devil, ho said, "Howdy.
And Hitler, how are youT
I'm running a hell on earth, so
tell me what to do."
"What can I do," tho devil said,
"Dour old pal of mine,
You surely don't need any help;
You're doing mighty fine.
"I wasn't doing bad he admitted,
"Until a littlo while ago
When a man whose name is
Roosevelt
Told' me to go slow.
He said to me, "Dear Hitler,
I don't want to be unkind;
But you'vo raised enough Hell,
It's time you changed your mind.
"I thought his lcnd-leaso bill was
bluff.
I thought he was afraid,
I thought he would raise tho
whito flag
After the bombardment raid.
But now I find that I was wrong
And you, old top, were right.
That Uncle Sam is plenty strong.
"So now I'm calling you, my
friend;
Please get me from this stew.
I'm much in need of some advice
And my only hope is you."
"Hitler, Dear, the devil said,
"There is not much left to tell,
For Uncle Sam will muko it hot
ter Than I can here In hell ,
"I've been a mean old devil, but
not halt so mean as you.
So the moment you get here my
Job is yours to do.
I'll bo ready for your coming,
I'll keep tho fires up bright.
I'll have your room all ready for
you when Sam ends the
fight. .
For Adolph, your reign Is ended;
You're due for quito a jolt;
When the people you have con
quered All rise up and revolt;
The war Is lost and you are
doomed. "
That's all there Is to tell.
Hang up the phone, get your hat
and meet me here in Hell."
