" ' This week, a croup from the thickly settled areas south and east of town, called on the county court to dis cuss setting un a fire zone, which can be done under the state forest laws. Now it is planned to hold a meeting July 6 at which representatives of the nearby section as well as Henley, Merrill and Malin districts will be rep resented." Fire zones embracing all of these districts are being considered. For many years, the increasing fire danger in unincor porated areas of Klamath county has been a subject of widespread concern. During those years, fires in those areas have' done a great deal of damage, and not much could be done to stop a blaze once it seized hold of a structure. This condition, will continue until actual pro tective machinery is set up. , The fire zone set-up can be started under a very sim ple arrangement, through action by the county court. The court has felt that the initiative should come from the various districts involved, rather than from the court itself. That initiative seems now to have been provided, and a definite movement is under way. - If it succeeds," we all will breathe easier. There has been some variance of opinion as to the desirability of a fire zone or a fire district The zone can be set up quickly. If it is later found desirable to form a district, it is presumed that money and equipment ac quired under the zone can be transferred to the hands of the district . The important thing is to get action in a time of ex treme danger: ..- . -, ; Lumber in Front Rank THE war has brought new recognition of the value of lumber in the American industrial drive. Colonel W. B. Greeley of the West Coast Lumber men's association this week pointed out that a year ago the Office of Production Management estimated the war lumber needs for two and one-half years at 8 14 billion feet Present estimates of the war production board for 1942 alone call for three times that amount of lumber. Colonel Greeley also said: - " . "Specified by necessity in many caws as a substitute lor scarce materials, wood has won engineering recog nition for its own special values. Wood is unrivaled as an all-purpose war material." . , When the war emergency construction program first ucBsii, mere was a snarp rise in the demand for lumber, particularly for construction of barracks. There was some expectation that lumber would diminish in importance after the barracks were built. But such has not been the case, and as Colonel Greeley points out, it now occu pies a place in the front rank of American war-time in dustrial materials. An event of major importance here in the past week' wasthe announcement that pre-fabricated grain bins are to be constructed in Klamath Falls for use in storage of the nation s huge grain supplies. Orders for these grain bins will run in excess of ?1,000,000. - This local development is illustrative of Colonel Greel ey s optimistic report It all makes pleasant news for a lumber country such as ours. BEHI By PaulMallon WASHINGTON, July 8 The tack upon Wake island does not necessarily forecast tha opening of our counter-march westward across the Pacific to Japan. True, when we set ready for that. march we may soften up Wake and other advance Jap Dases wim neavy bombing, as preliminary step. But we will not be ready until we are pre pared to go beyond Wake into the Marshall and Marianas is lands as well. ' Wake is within land-based bomber range of Jap bases in the Marshalls and Marianas, and nence can be.held only with dif flculty unless they are also ta- ken. In fact, Wake should fall into the lap of whoever can hold these two other groups, so we might take them first. Meanwhile, we can make it as uncomfortable for Japs there as they 'could make It for lis, If we tried to seize it alone. . ' DISMAL PROSPECT Private- government figures on the probable future of motor- ridmg Americans are almost un believably dismal. Whea Mr. Ickes whispered In Mr. Roosevelt's ear urging a rub ber collection campaign, he sub mitted certain figures which were not made public. These showed that if the war lasted three years more, hardly an American private car would be left on the road, even if mileage was reduced 25 per cent and a 40-mile speed limit en forced.-'. They predicted 4,000,000 cars would go Toff the road this year, a.uuu.oou next, 7,000,000 in 1944 leaving only 5,600,000 cars rid ing in 1945; 1,600,000 riding in law and none In 1947. If a program for recapping 60 per cent-of, civilian tires could be effected as -a result of this rubber drive, the " situation would become fairly satisfac tory. s. Less than half as many cars would have to be abandoned only about 3,000,000 a year. 10 support such a program, the United States would have to provide 5000 tons of crude rub ber annually and collect 48,000 tons of scrap this;year; 71,200 in 1943; 67,600 in 1944, 55,000 in 1945. While the current HHv is of ficially being called deficient, it shows enough scrap rubber being obtained to run practically mat whole period if the crude rubber could be spared.

POLITICAL POSSIBILITY ' Political potentialities of gas rationing are not being over looked. ..-Republican Representative Stevenson - of . Wisconsin wrote Kationer Leon Henderson ask ing that gas allowances be made for rural voters to go to the polls la the east on election day. He got a letter back promising only mat at Mr. Koosevelt decides on national gas rationing, provision Would be made. No allowances will be made for primaries.

Roose velt and Churchill have been telling Hitler they will start a second front, if they really In tended to do it. j The element of surprise has been lost, they fear, not at an. Hitler has been able to observe the preparations in Britain, lust as Holland. Bel- glum and France were able to observe his preparations for the Invasion that struck them as surprise when.it fell. .Some things cannot be kept secret in war. Collection of hun dreds of thousands of troops is one. . . But Hitler, you will recall, staged fake alarms and other wise confused his foes by criss crossing rumors to such an ex tent; they hardly believed the fi nal alarm when it came. The current confusion as to whether or not there will be a second front this year is already serving a similar purpose for us. Most Washingtonians are even now betting there will not be a second front this year. To them, COW. 1W1 IV W MWlt, ml T, t will, li MT, W. f.)

By WADE WERNER WASHINGTON, July 2 Ft MUIons of hungry people in axis occupied countries today had an other reason to hope for a Unit ed Nations victory. It was the decision of the United States and four other countries to sot aside an immense pool of wheat for the relief of war-stricken countries, to be rushed to them "so soon as the International situation permits." That means so soon as avail able shipping no longer is mono? polized for the transport of the tools of war, and ships can carry breadstuffs instead of bombs, Wheat Instead of weapons, across the seas. Establishment of a relief pool of not less than 100,000,000 bushels is only one of the fea tures of the wheat agreement made public yesterday with the United States. Great Brltnin. Canada, Australia and Argentina as signatories. Other provisions relate to the control of wheat production, stocks and exDorts and the cooperation of all five countries in the stabilization of prices.
