Laka, Modoo and SUktyov Oountfee ft-00 Weekend Roundup THE Klamath rationing board is looking for & home. I Strange as it may seem, no provision is made for rents, litfht. water or heat for rationing offices, and the general rule throughout the country is that the quarters shall be provided by cities, counties or school districts. The Klanv ath board so far has had no luck in getting help from any of these sources. Temporary quarters have been given the board for several months at the chamber of commerce. Rationing has required an ever-increasing volume of work, until the chamber offices cannot accommodate the staff of eight or nine now attached to the board. Neither courthouse nor city ha!! quarters were of fered, but city officials suggested the small clubroom In the library basement. This room would be satisfactory; but thus far, the library bobrd has not been able to make up its mind about turning over the room to the rationing board. The library gets an income of about S1000 yearly from rental of the room, and it is the home of various organizations. Times being what they are, and the rationing board functioning as it does as a vital part of the war effort, . it appears necessary that there be a sacrifice on a patriotic basis to provide quarters for the rationing offices. If this is not done at the library, it will have to be done somewhere else and soon. Not all is rubber that looks like rubber. Recently a sincere and well intentioned citizen suggested to this column that it give the works to business houses with rubber mats in their entrances. We have learned later that this citizen had visited at least two places and ob jected to the presence of mats which she felt should be turned in to the rubber drive. Operators of these places called in R. 0. Snodgrass, the county rubber drive chairman. They were disturbed by the criticism, and wanted to know if their mats would really be of service to the country. Mr. Snodgrass ex amined the mats, found they were largely cord and wire, and declared they didn't have enough rubber in them to make them worth salvaging. Meanwhile, somebody else has started an epidemic of rubber mat thievery around town. This is hardly the proper way to express a patriotic urge. Ben Amdt's unusual- experience with an inadvertent bombing from an army plane which lost an antenna weight, told in yesterday's news, reminds us of a similar incident in which an honest-to-gosh fish dropped from the sky here. It was four or five years ago. A car parked on High street, was struck and damaged when an object hurtled from the sky about the time an airplane was passing overhead. There was some argument as to whether the fish was carried aloft by a pelican or the airplane. The story still stands as an unsolved mystery. And then there was the time it rained fish at Algoma real fish, which this writer found in considerable num bers on roof-tops when called out there one morning after a wet night. , Falling fish are getting to be a little too common here, eh Ben? . Colonel J. L. Stromme, commander of the Portland airbase since March, 1941, was transferred this week . to new duties in the air force. Colonel Stromme is well known and well liked in Klamath Falls, where he has kept speaking engagements and made official visits. He made himself an active citizen of this community and of Oregon, engaging in civic life with great interest and vigor. Klamath joins other Oregon communities in welcom ing Colonel Stromme's successor, Colonel Dale Fisher, who moves to the Portland airbase from March Field.

Lowell Stockman, the huge wheat farmer of Uma tilla county, who is running for congress, plans to do a lot of Eastern Oregon visiting if elected, according to edi torial comment in the Pendleton East Oregonian, demo cratic newspaper. Mr. Stockman's idea, the paper says, 18 ..-u -each imPrtant point in the district each year. The fact that Lowell Stockman really likes people and wishes to help them will be an asset to him in politi ?uAfu' says the East Oregonian., And may we add that the fact his home town newspaper, though of the opposite political faith, says such pleasant things about him ought also to be quite an asset Earl Whitlock's Memory Garden is now in full bloom, and it is one of the most attractive spots in the city. Down in the middle of town, it is an ideal meeting and resting place for people from city and country who trans fer .?,usl,ness here- That is exactly the sort of use Mr. Whitlock wants made of it. . . Caterpillars are running all over the northern end of the county, according to a news item. That's not a busi ness item from Nelson Reed, either. WASHINGTON. July 11 Hit ler's new plan of grand strategy for winning the war this year has now. at last be come apparent in recent events. It Is the one he dreamed at Berchtesgarten on those lonely nights last winter, the one he promised the German people would evolve from his "intui tion." The most obvious thing about it is that his "Intuition" is not as lively this year as formerly. Significant also Is the fact that his plan for winning almost ig nores axis consideration and is limited to purely German objec tives. He almost ignores the whole Italian theatre of war. The op erations of General Rommel have been purposely held by Hitler to a sideshow. Most re cent reports from that front make it clear. The Rommel campaign orig inally was intended only to cap ture Tobruk. Hitler was greatly surprised at the ease with which this was accomplished, and au thorized further pursuit to cap ture Alexandria and Cairo, but would not furnish enough prompt plane reinforcements to assure that result. He refused to spare them from his own campaign in Russia. There the whole mass of Ger man strength has been centered to force an armistice before next December 1. Even axis-partner Japan has not fitted yet into Hitler's intuitive scheming (it may any day now, with an at tack on Russia in the Siberian theatre). Even the United States and Britain have been largely ig nored in the Hitler calculations, except as they are involved in his Russian purposes. There have been no large concentrated bombing attacks on Britain this year. His naval strength has been centered off Norway for a sea blitz against allied supplies to Murmansk (the results of this operation are still undetermined in view of the claimed Russian disabling of the Tirpitz and the amazing German contention that they have sunk 32 out of 38 ships in one convoy). In the Mediterranean, he has brought to bear only a few Italian submarines under Ger man officers, and a limited num ber of planes to attack Malta and British convoys to Egypt. Also the nazi submarine oper ations off our coast have been shown by events to be only a minor phase of Hitler's opera tions, despite our heavy losses, amounting to about 350 known and many more unknown ships. By these attacks in American waters, Hitler is only trying to get Britain and the United States to transfer more of their armed naval craft from the Rus sian convoy route to Murmansk i drar-v. .; -a. .

If she finds us, let's soy it's just tho upsetting war influence 1" and thus make his attacks there easier. His Russian tactics indicate nothing as brilliant as the Ger man army showed earlier in France and Poland. At Kursk, he struck at a shrewdly-chosen weak point between the central and the southern Russian arm ies, cutting the railroads con necting them, and thus prevent ing them from getting reinforce ments back and forth. This cut enabled him then to turn south against Marshal Timoshenko's army with the immediate ob jective of destroying it and the ultimate objective of reaching the Volga, where he could sever the indispenhible Russian oil supply route from the Caucasus or seize the fields himself. But it is apparent from the way he Is working, his military objectives in Russia are not lim ited to these points alone. His preparations behind tha lines al ready show he Is getting ready to hit at Moscow again in the north, if these southern opera tions do not work out well. It Is not correct to say that the war in Europe must be de termined by the results of these operations within the next 30 days. Hitler Is taking his time. He can fight In the south until December 1. Thus, he has more than four months remaining in which to fulfill a realistic, plausible, but not characteristically imagina tive campaign. Unless he can destroy the Russian army with this pro gram, he cannot even claim a victory In Europe.- And if he does destroy the Russian army, he must still face the 'United States and Britain. All bad news now and for the next few weeks should be rcud In the light of these focusing facts. ... FDR ANNOYED . Mr.' Roosevelt Is as annoyed as anyone at tho inability of our coastal convoy and patrol system to cope fully with the nazl sub menace off our shores. A congressman who had at tacked the "gold bar brigade" of the armed forces In a speech went in with fear and trembling next day before' the president, but found him using language even more emphatic. Also the president congratulated a sena tor who had assumed a critical attitude toward the production phase of the war effort. Apparently Mr. Roosevelt is not sensitive to any criticism designed to arouse a greater war effort July is tho month In which even loafing is a lot of trouble. Tl FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., July II W) Six negro soldiers armed with mnchineguns, uutoinutlc rifles and pistols terrorized the business district about 3 a. m. today before onu whs shot and killed and another wounded, Sheriff Peery Frauds reported.
