But of particular interest to people of the city and suburbs is the plan for industrial and city business house employes to do farm labor ends and, in case of an acute situation at potato harvest time, to arrange for city business closing-ups so that city people may help in large numbers in getting in the crops. We were interested.' particularly.- in expressions bv farmers at Tuesday's meeting to the effect that they be lieved city residents capable of doing effective work on tha farms. There was none of the "what the heck can a city dood do?" attitude. i The problem deserves or the community, urban, suburban and rural. This year's crop on tne lernie lands of the Klamath basin belongs in the war effort, as well as in the economic picture of the Ulamath basin. Here is a job to do, and all of us must bend every effort to see that it is done properly as the ueeu arises. .-- - ; i Humiliating REVISED July quotas for war savings, just announced , by the U. S. treasury, show Klamath county with a quota of $307,400. as against a nrevinimlv gnnniinl $250,000. We take it as an jittiuueut considers mis county's patriotism and prosperity as such that it can raise such a quota, but at the same tune, we are constrained to wonder what is going on in Jackson county. ; Our neighbor on the west, where the government is penning some $zy,uuu,uoo in a few months on canton ment construction; and where population, according to civic boosters, is zooming to now heights, was assigned a measly quota of $183,500. That must be humiliating to Jackson people. Here Is a county simply bursting with population, where wages are fabulous, where every piece of property is reportedly occupied and only the ceiling stops the rent rise. A 10 per cent payroll deduction on the cantonment alone ought , 2 " 4"u iook pretty siCK; m 1940, Jackson's Klini?" . , 6X16 an that ol Klamath county, 40,497.

Nazi Officer Takes Stand In Stephan Treason Trial DETROIT, July 1 (ff) Nazi ait t one Lieutenant Hans Peter Krug testified In federal -, court here Tuesday that he es caped from a Bowmanville. Ont.. prison camp last April In order to "return to duty and1 to In form the German government oi conditions In the camp : of the shooting and murder of a comrade officer." Krug was the first govern ment witness., against Max Stephan, German-born Detroit restaurant proprietor, who Is on trial charged with treason be cause of aid the government charges he gave Krug when he arrived In Detroit after his es cape. After his testimony on the shooting of the officer, District Attorney John C. Lehr who is prosecuting the case, declared there was absolutely no sub stantiation of his story. The International Red Cross committee inspects war prison er camps, having Its represen tatives make periodical visits on which to base reports to the country whose nationals are Im prisoned. It was pointed out that, however, . prisoners at tempting to escape from prison camps in various countries had been shot and killed at times. In his testimony, Krug told oi ms escape April 16 from .swniariviilt and of meeting Stephan on April 18, after pad dling across the Detroit . river from Ontario In a stolen row boat with only a board for an oar. The meeting place, he tes tified, was the apartment of Mrs. MargaretU Bertelmann, Whose address. he obtained from .. . . .,, - I .ts . . ta 1M to Do labor situation in this area to help harvest the crops on . . county farm labor committee again discussed in detail, and more apparent. it on a number of lines.

"As we were about to leave, Mrs. Bertelmann got money irom a cupboard and gave it to me $20." After a snack in Stephan'i restaurant, Krug continued, he went on a sight-seeing trip In downtown Detroit, alone and traveling by street car. Upon his return, he testified, Stephan gave him a billfold and necktie as birthday presents and then took him on a "pleasure trip." Taken before Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, the former luftwnffo flier, In thick German gutteral, said he could not take an oath. As the clerk began to read the oam, isjug shook his head vio lently. Judge Tuttle thpn ovnlalr.. to Krug that he did not have to be sworn, but could msr.lv '.f. firm" 4hat !. l j .... - w wwum leu wie truth. This was done.

July 1 Paragraph stories have been creeping into the press, suggest ing the Canadian General An drew George Latta McNaughton might be chosen to head the British and American armies in vading Europe. His choice would be a com promise. Both Americans and British would prefer to have one of their own in command. Not a lot is known of General McNaughton here. He was an artilleryman In the World war and Canadian chief of staff for six years before 1933. In tills war he was in France, before Dunkirk in 'command of the first division. Lately he has been In command of Canadian forces in England. - Next to production of equip ment, the selection of generals is the most vital matter of war. The Libyan campaign is proving this pointedly at the moment, but it was true back in the Civil war and beyond. Obviously generals s h o u 1 not be chosen for any other rea. son than superior ability not for political reasons, not for diplomatic compromises. The man needed to head the invasion of Europe must be the best man in the armies of the United Nations for that job. Un til somebody arises and says McNaughton qualifies on that ground and proves it, there may be some dissatisfaction with the suggestion. . Meanwhile General Mac- Arthur, who is clearly the best of . ours to show himself thus far, and better than anyone the British or Canadians h a v shown, is defending Australia a job which seems likely to re quire less ingenuity than the creation of a second front. LIBYAN EXPLANATION A semi-official British ac counting for the Libyan disas ter (which Is probably more than semi) traces all their trou bles back to General Ritchie' premature counter attack three weeks ago (June 4). He did not realize the nazi tank strength, having received inadequate , -reconnaissance re ports, and threw his tanks into daring and risky maneuver which shattered . British armor power, : enabling Rommel to seize the initiative. The British have been on the run since. Incidentally, after all the commentating that has been done about the magnificent Ger man 88 mm tank guns, this ac counting shows the superior German fire power was not based alone on this gun which is a mobile artillery field piece The Germans had 47 mm and 75 mm guns in their tanks, while tne bulk of the British tanks (Valentines and Matildas) car ried a shorter range two pound er. This means our General Grants, with their 75s are still .match for the nazl any day, In this connection the semi-of ficial British report says: The British had a number of General Grant tanks, but not enough of them." Thus it appears that while the British had superiority in tanks (as well as planes, ships and troops) they did not have the right kind. Their big six- pounder anil-tank guns began to arrive after Rommel started the campaign, but not in suffi cient numbers. EGYPT'S IMPORTANCE No one here minimizes the gravity of what the British have been defending In Egypt. It Is not just the Suez canal, but the whole Middle East and its oil, in fact, the future course of the war. If driven from Alexandria and Cairo they would presuma bly retire Into Palestine and Syria (where they have a very small force) to defend the Mosul oil fields. Such a defense could not easily be maintained over a long period, with Hitler possess ing inner lines of supplies and ndisputed hold on the whole Mediterranean, which would be come an axis lake. Turkey's neutrality would come under nazi supervision. Hitler's acquisition of Middle East oil, and a possible junc ture later with the Japs, through Persia and India, could at least add a couple of years on the war. HELP FOR FRENCH Communist sympathizers and their "Dally Worker" are try ing now to call even the state department "nazl." This government has attempt ed to help the French along moderately in order to keep the French fleet and African bases out of nazl hands. The policy has worked fairly well so far.
