Ideas on Rubber TODAY, we pass along two comments on the rubber drive which reached this desk from readers of this newspaper. Mrs. S. J. Jones, a resident of the Weyerhaeuser mill district and mother of two boys In the service, told us that the sight of rubber mats in business house entrances on Main street excited her to great anger. "My boys, and others in the service, are crying for help," she asserted. "This is war, whether these firms realize it or not. I feel they should turn in this rubber. These mats are not really necessary. I have hunted my premises from end to end, and have turned in rubber that is far more necessary to me than are these mats to those who are retaining them." The other suggestion comes from Joe Reading, phar macist He believes there are actually tons of rubber nailed on the wharves and private boat landings at the various lakes in the Klamath country. Some people, he said, have used many more old tires than is necessary for boat buffers. They could give most of these tires and still protect the boats." Joe has something there. We saw a tire pulled out of Diamond lake recently, and the same thought oc curred to us. The time for getting this rubber into the- war collec tion is growing short. If anything is to be done about it, It should be done immediately. British Propaganda BRITISH propaganda officials 'use good judgment in their decision not to send more lecturers to the United States and to cease attempts to "force Britain down the throats of the American people." Americans react unfavorably to the kind of propa ganda thus described by Brendan Bracken, minister of information, in a speech to the house of commons. We know Americans who turn purple with rage when they hear a Britisher talk in the unmistakable British manner. Perhaps that is one reason why Mr. Bracken reported that British lecturers, sent to the United States, did more harm than good. High-powered British propaganda is not necessary in the United States. Most Americans are convinced that the destiny of this nation in the war is linked with that of Britain. The best propaganda the British can possibly spread in America is proof they are upholding their end of the war effort. That proof will reach Americans through the regular news channels. Century of Disgust IF you are disgusted with congress, the chances are you feel the way your father, grandfather and great grandfather felt in their day. Take, for instance, the following editorial excerpt from the Philadelphia Public Ledger of March 25, 1836: - "The congressional news up to this date possesses not the slightest interest. Congress seems determined to fritter away its time, Instead of rendering it profitable to the nation shame on such tardy legislation." This paragraph was selected from a copy of the Led ger of that date which belongs to W. F. Jinette, Merrill farmer. But let us not be too discouraged to learn that people bitterly criticized congress 100 years ago and are still doing it. It must have occasionally redeemed and justi fied itself in the century, or it would surely have been abolished as an institution. Those who today look upon congress with disgust still have reason to hope for better things from it. They can help bring those better things about by their own actions m Malin Mr. and Mrs. Guy Sheldon and two sons, Gerald and Gene spent the Fourth of July holi day at Samoa, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Yaple. While on the coast they had their first ex perience at crab fishing and also saw a 70 ton whale brought into the whaling station, only one in the United States, located below Eureka. The Malin Garden club will meet July 10 at the home of Mrs. Dick Henzel. Plans will be made for the annual club picnic Meet ings during the summer will be held on the second Friday of each month.

STAMPS, TOOT DALLAS, Tex., (P) Alfred Anderson twice wrote his Min neapolis draft board telling them of his change of address. The next thing he knew he wound up in the Dallas iall for failure to keep his board posted concerning nis whereabouts. His protests led to a search of the dead letter office where authori ties found the letters both moiled without stomps. . "Gosh," explained Anderson when released, "I thought be cause it was government busi ness I didn't need to use any." British Honduras does touch the Pacific ocean. not WASHINGTON. July 8 The main point behind fighting In Egypt is that both the British and axis are having difficulties in maintaining lines of supplies. Just before the final stage of Rommel's successful drive, Ital ians waylaid a British convoy on its way from Gibraltar to Alexandria. It was cut up so severely, it was never able to reach General Auchinleck, but was stopped at Malta where the supplies were needed much less than in Egypt. Since the Mediterranean has become virtually a no man's sea, so far as the British are con cerned, General Auchtnleck's re cently advanced reinforcements naturally hid to come from other directions, nearby Syria, our own air base in Eritrea, and even India. The German line is ten times shorter, but the British have su periority in the air. Their bomb ers, you may have noticed, have been hitting Bengazi day and night since their trouble started Thus, the fighting on both sides has been hindered to a sub stantial extent by the Invisible factors behind the lines. The Germans, however, still hold substantial advantage in this critical aspect of the campaign, because the British have been pushed back from their advance air bases. Hope, but not optimism, consequently being generally felt here. FOOTBALL TACTICS Emphatic interpretations of the news from the Russian front have never been possible. The nazis and the reds are engaged there in tactics comparable to American football. The latest nazi hammering of the line between Kursk and Kharkov, several hundred miles north of where the real play was expected, has had many puz zling aspects, but seems subject to only one interpretation, ine nazis apparently have been ham mering the tackle and guard po sitions there in preparation for a run around the end where the play was expected in the first place. The line north of Kharkov was not as strongly defended by the reds as their position around, Rostov. The Germans therefore were able to hit it hard enough to break through and in fact. cause some withdrawal of troops from the southern front. Also these tactics served to protect them in the future from any northern flanking move, if they go forward with the Rostov drive, as expected. Consequently, both this unex pected northern break through, and the expected capture of Sevastopol, apparently were only nazi preparations for a , bigger drive to come in between these two points. At least that is the only interpretation which squares with the known facts. Future events will tell. CAREFUL REDS The Russians lately have per mitted our army observers to get up a little closer to the front lines than formerly, but mostly in quiet sectors. No special mili tary missions have been allowed to come in. Only our men on the ground have been allowed to go forward. The Russians believe In run ning the war their own way. No Moscow Interest in opening up a Siberian front has been re ported here. The house tax-makers already have changed their minds about one thing Joint taxation of hus band and wife. The committee snipped that treasury provision out of the tax bill after first adopting it, supposedly due to the ardent workings of Speaker Rayburn who halls from Texas, a community property state. There has also been some talk in committee that the White House intervened, but this has in no wise been substantiated. NORRIB MAY RUN The grand old liberal of the senate, George Norris of Ne braska, decided several months ago he would not run for re election, but he has since been told by President Roosevelt that it is "just as honorable for him to die in the senate as on the battlefield." Not only from this but from other evidence, the politico! as sume Norris will probably an nounce as an independent after the August 11 primary. He did that before. This time the president's en treaty might be strengthened by the fact that the favorite In the democratic primary race is Rep resentative Harry Coffee who has not been strictly a new dealer.
