Stop This Evil CITY councilmen Monday night heard renewed com plaints that taxicab drivers are engaging in illegal ale of liquor in this community. Bootlegging becomes a matter of particular seriousness at this time because of wartime conditions and the bers of the armed forces in were warned they should clean up the taxicab-bootlegging situation before it receives tary authorities. Recognition of this condition led the council late last year to include certain provisions in the taxicab licensing ordinance adopted at that time. The ordinance provides that the license of a taxicab driver is convicted of violating liquor laws. Here is an effective legal means of attacking the situation, and the council should not hesitate Taxicabs are often connected with the sale of liquor to Indians, in violation of federal, state and city statutes, the council was told Monday dition that does nothing good ath Falls and here, again, a strong hand is needed to stop a stubborn evil. Taxicabs enjoy various privileges at the hands of the public authorities. They are permitted certain uses of the streets for parking and for-hire service, and the li censes grant exclusive rights. The public authorities have no business licensing operations which -engage in illegal activities; if taxicabs cannot or the law, they should not be operated at all. It is no doubt true that proprietors of cab operations cannot keep a constant check on their emnloves. and that the actual offenses are committed by the drivers rather tnan the operators of the businesses. But if these illegal activities are to be stopped, it is necessary to place the responsibility on both the operator and his agents. Public opinion should come to the support of public officials in striking a blow at taxicab bootlegging. Dogs and Gardens THE end of the period for keeping dogs-confined is approaching. On July 1, the period will have expired, and so far as the city ordinance is concerned, dogs may again run free from that date until next year. When the ordinance providing for dog restrictions was adopted, it was recognized that May and June are the "growing months" for gardens here, and it was de cided that those should be the months when dogs are confined. This year, however, the season is unduly late, and growing conditions will continue into July. It has been suggested that the city extend restrictions through July. This would require an amendment to the ordinance, and it would take three weeks to get it through the council. It will therefore not be attempted. However, there is nothing to prevent public spirited citizens from continuing to keep their dogs from running wild over their gardens and those of their neighbors. Those who have found the dog restrictions beneficial should consider keeping them in effect on a voluntary basis. Malin, always a thriving community, has a new in dustry in the sprawling feed yards and mill of the Malin Feed company, which will carry on extensive cattle feed ing operations. The Malin cheese factory is producing twice the amount of cheese it produced last year at this time, selling it largely in the bay area market. Malin is doing all right. .

Government Orders Rent Reductions WASHINGTON, June 23 VP) Price Administrator Leon Hend erson made public today a list of 60 defense-rental areas, em bracing a population of about 28,000,000 persons, in which he said voluntary efforts had failed to control the rent problem, and In which the government prob ably will order rent reductions effective July 1. The 60 were among 302 such areas designated by OPA April 28 as ones in which rents had neen inflated by the war boom. All were ordered to cut back charges for housing accommoda tions to levels prevailing on various dates in 1941 and 1942. Included in the 60 areas are such cities as ChicaKo.

News if fiuW Beh By RvulMallon iiynoiiuiviiun, tUiiv . o- " Libya this time, It ws not "too little and too late." It was just "too bad." The British had superiority in the air, on the sea and on the land in tanks, planes, ships, troops. There was nothing wrong with their battle strategy that could be discerned here, yet Rommel pushed them bark. Official alibis are now pouring forth in volume, but the overall alibi is not being stressed. It is clear that Rommel just out- maneuvered them. Inferior in overall fighting strength, he picked specific limited objectives. He searched for soft spots in the British line, then hammered these with con- centra tions of all he could muster. The British tried to hold every where Bir Achem, Acroma, Sidl Rezegh, after the nazis had cut narrow lanes through their defensive mine fields. They dl- vided their forces, placing the divisions at these and other key places. Rommel went at these key points one by one. Following Napoleon's theory, he hit each point separately, each time must ering a superior force at that chosen spot. Finally he split the British in half, one part remaining In To- bruk and the other seeking the natural protection of the Egyptian border. NAZIS TOUCHER The nazi troops were tougher and better trained than the Brit ish, particularly better than the last British reinforcements from Egypt Then, too, the British were so confident that the in tolerable summer heat would prevent any extensive nazi op erations, they did not throw their full strength into the battle as soon as the Germans did. Here again, as at Singapore, it was evident also that some Brit ishers still indulge themselves in the theory if not in the practice or tune out for Scotch and sodas. siestas or cricket. The troops fought hard and thought they had Rommel trap- pea wnen they set him back from, Bir Achem. Having air superiority, they bombed his thin supply lines running back in the lanes through the mine fields. This should have won for tnem, but they then encountered too much Rommel and too much weather. The crafty nazi used every kind of vehicle which would haul water or gas, and his troops went for long stretches witnout water. British soldiers, escaoinz from German prison camps, said that they had gone 48 hours without water, and when they comnlain. to, nommers officers asserted they had no water for 48 hours either. A sandstorm came un anH Rommel's caravans were able to sup tnrough unobserved by British planes. TECHNICAL EXCUSE If you want a good technical excuse, you may find It in tha trerman 88 millimeter anti-tank and anti-aircraft gun. Most of the tanks in the fight were Brit ish: The relatively small num ber of our General Grants per formed well according to all ac counts. But Rommel used his superior gun on self-propelled and towed mounts to devastating effect. That dual purpose gun has an extremely high muzzle velocity no i nigmy respected. When Rommel retreated the first time he concentrated them in narrow defiles in which he trapped many a British tank. For another thing, Rommel used his planes In close support of his tanks, while the British let the tanks go alone and used their planes mainly to bomb Rommel's supply lines (although this is a choice most generals would have made.) Despite Rommel's victory, he has lost a lot of tanks and there LAST TIMES TONIGHT Humphrey Bogart and Mary Asto in "THE MALTESE FALCON" and Lupe Volez In "HONOLULU LU" nrnmum TOMORROW First Hit Ida Lupino In tht N.

If he can find more soft spots, he might try to crash through,- but the British are apparently not de moralized.

We are getting supplies into Egypt but mostly the long way around the cape of Good Hope. This would be an ideal subject for a Roosevelt-Churchill con ference, whereas the advertised matter of the "second front" Is one that is more likely to be decided by American and Britisti military leaders on the single point of when they are ready. Turner's Center The defense squad of Keno met with the defense squad of Turner's Center, as well as the first aid group, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Gallaspy Tuesday evening. Ross Putnam oi Klamath Falls was present, and put on some demonstration work for the benefit of t h e group. Dan Shearer of Keno was also present, and presented the group with a noise-making device that can be used either as a signal for a blackout warn ing or as an air-raid siren. Due to the fact that Putnam has moved to Klamath Falls, he has had to resign his position as leader and Mrs. Guy Moore was elected to take his place. This meeting was the last one of the series, and the final test will be given next Tuesday evening.
