Here's the Rubber T didn't take people long to catch on to the idea back of the rubber collection campaign, and tons of scrap rubber are now pouring into service stations throughout the Klamath basin and the Midland Empire. The surface has been scratched, but there is still much to be done in this effort. For example, some one conceived the idea of seeking rubber at the sites of some of the abandoned logging operations in remote spots of Klamath county. Piles of old truck tires and other rubber scrap has been found at these places and will be brought in to add extensively to Klamath's contribution to the nationwide campaign. This is big stuff. But it is vastly important that the little stuff, scraps of rubber from garages, basements and attics, be brought isto the stock piles along with the tire3 and heavier articles. Some of the things listed as worth salvage are rubber gloves, dish drainers, drain board mats, faucet sprays, sink stoppers, preserve jar rings, dish scrapers, ice cube trays, drain plugs, shower caps-, hot water bags, rubber bulbs from eye droppers, raincoats, galoshes, tennis balls. Klamath county has been carrying on a salvage pro gram for several months, with emphasis upon scrapiron. Considerable rubber has been salvaged at the same time, but nothing to compare with that which will be brought in through the next two weeks. From January 1 to March 31, some 514- tons of scrap metal were salvaged in this county. In April, scrap metal hit 672 Vs tons. In that month, rubber scrap sal vaged in this county totaled 25.2 tons, along with 6.1 tons of rags and 25 tons of paper. In May, metal scrap salvage dropped to 271 tons. But rubber picked up to 34.1 tons, paper to 41 tons, and rags to 7.1 tons. In that month, five tons of horse and cattle bones were shipped for glue manufacture. The county salvage committee has promoted this pro gram, and has had important assistance from ' schools, farm groups, the county court and road department, and the general public .'..'' The rubber scrap collection has-been facilitated by the use of gasoline stations as collection centers. This has simplified the procedure -so that no one can refuse to cooperate because of the lack of time. Under the plan worked out by government "agencies and the petroleum industry, the rubber may be sold at 1 cent a pound or donated at the service station. It will later be bought at $25 a ton by the Rubber Reserve com pany, a subsidiary of RFC. No profit will be made by the petroleum industry, either from donated rubber or that which is purchased. For all funds left over, after the rubber is handled, will be given to the United Service organizations and the navy and army relief. The significance of the rubber campaign to the in dividual is an important factor that will help make the campaign a success. It is generally realized that the results of the rubber scrap campaign will affect the use of private automobiles in the war period.-' But rubber collection is also a contribution to the war effort. One little army scout car uses 339 pounds of it. A 85,000 ton battleship uses 75 tons of it A pneumatic raft that may save a Yankee airman requires 29 pounds of it. i Japan controls 90 per cent of the world's rubber plan tations. Americans must depend upon scrap rubber to make up, in part, for this advantage enjoyed by our enemy in the Pacific. Good luck to Dayton Van VactOr as he accepts a com mission in the army air force. A strong military back ground and a virile patriotism made it hard for Van to sit still after December 7.

Rn.nBDtu (today 1 News Behii ByPAULlmtON WASHINGTON, June 17 The Anglo-American threat to IftVida Europe lias CuoHi Hit ler to keep half a million troops in France and the lowlands, and station a million more in central Germany as ready reserves. As soon as Britain is able to put a thousand planes over the French coast every night, the promised blow is likely to fall. The logical military way to go about it is to blast the nazi coastai defenses continuously each night until they are soft enough for invasion, and then to turn the bombers upon the Ger man railroads before those mil lion reserves can be brought up. Air superiority of some such overwhelming nature is an obvi ous prerequisite to fulfillment of the Anglo-American promise to create such a second front this year. But this requirement will not hold if Hitler starts weak ening his western defenses to bolster his Russian front. The moment he does that, the Brit ish may logically move in on him. Thus the announced threat serves its purpose of the great aid to Russia even now. . o o o WHY NO BRITISH FRONT? Many Americans are asking why the British have not estab lished this front before, with the only large inactive army of this war concentrated on its small is land for nearly two years. The London explanation that there is insufficient shipping is hardly convincing, as barges could do the job and the British have a navy. The answer may be found in the air where most of the an swers in this war have been sup plied. - The Germans could not invade Britain after Dunkirk be cause they were unable to ob tain sufficient mastery of the air. Up to the bombing of Cologne, the British had not been able to show any ability to manipulate the clouds over the continent, and even Cologne did not show enough. . They must do that every night before invasion can have reasonable military prospects of success. They should be able to fulfill the promise before the end of the year. o , ,. ' FOUR CONVOYS The American public seems to suspect large American troop concentrations have been amassed in Ireland. Actually only four convoys have been sent over as officially announced. What the British need to make a second front is not land troops but air reinforcements. Meanwhile Ireland serves as a good place for training American troops, in view of the crowded condition of American training camps. Also these troops can re lieve British for fighting in Lib ya and India. The landings In Ireland there fore dp not necessarily forecast immediate invasion. o RUSS BATTLE HAZY Confusing accounts of the fighting have come out of Russia.

Every time the nazis have at- U"x! any place the last two months, 'Moscow has indicated the nazi spring drive was on. Hitler has been working with unusual deliberation to clear up three points of his line before ramming his massed power, in final desperation, at the Donets basin and Rostov. He has been trying to clear the Crimea at Sevastopol and to straighten out his long circular line at Kharkov, as necessary preparations for his big effort. Both actions are designed to shorten his front and relieve troops for the main bout There seems to be no secret as to where his power is massed or where it will strike. It is cen tered between Kharkov and Ros tov and its objective is Rostov, btalingrad and the Caucasus oil fields. The third part of his deliber ate plan, as so far developed, is to capture Kronstadt and. if pos sible, Leningrad in the north. With Krorustadt gone, the Rus sian Baltic fleet would have no place to land. If Leningred can be captured, Hitler might work up to the Murmansk railroad and eliminate the main line of allied supplies into Russia. . This northern side-show could be continued after the big south ern drive starts, but the outcome at Kharkov and Sevastopol should be evident before the Germans open their big south ern push east 0-0 ROMMEL IS TRICKY The tricky Rommel has slip ped out of more British traps than anyone since George Wash ington. The British still have some supremacy of the air, tanks and ground troops, and yet bet ting has been running only 50-50 here lately that they will keep the only successful nazi general out of Tobruk. So far the British have lost more tanks- than the Germans, but their dwindling tank superi ority will be greatly strengthen ed if the fighting can be contin ued a while. Their repair facili ties are slower than the Ger mans. Loss of Tobruk would danger ously influence the Mediterran ean situation by removing that advanced air and sea base for Malta and supply center for the naval line back to Alexandria.
