The offer by the Odd Fellows is a practical gesture that calls for a word of public commendation and appreciation. Rationing is a definite and important part of the war effort, and the Odd Fellows, through this offer, are making an im portant contribution to that effort. The ration board has agreed to move if the IOOF can rent the space. Quarters to be used in the IOOF building are most satisfactory. They are located on Main street and are easily accessible to the public. Light and ventilation conditions are good, and they are ample in size. The IOOF is providing heat and water, which takes care of two of the services for which the rationing board has no money. Others will no doubt be provided. Two other organizations deserve a good word in con nection with the rationing board housing problem! The Klamath county chamber of has contributed its quarters to the rationing board, and the chamber secretary during that time served as clerk of the board without pay. The city library board last weekend assured the board it could use the basement clubroom in the library for headquarters. George Mclntyre, library board chairman, aid that at a meeting on the previous Monday, the board went on record to provide these quarters to the ration offices, with the idea of working out the details later. He said the library board's offer holds good still and if the rationing board finds it necessary later to move, it can take over in the library basement. That puts the rationers in one good place now, with another awaiting them if the IOOF should rent the Main street space to some private party. The situation seems to be well taken care of. AWOL THROUGH the mail Tuesday came two letters from of ficers at Fort Stevens, in reference to an item which appeared in the "briefs" in a young man of this city had lough from Fort Stevens. The officers state that this man was not on furlough, but had absented himself with out leave. From these letters we get that AWUis are quite numerous, and that there is a need for pressure against this 11 the men Know that their censor them for going AWOL, they will be less likely to unaertaKe sucn a discreditable Ten-day furloughs are not field forces who are actively coasts of the United States. ceptions, are a tnmg ot the in these letters. Serious consequences may follow for those who go -AWOL. In reference to the young man from here who was mentioned in the item, it was stated that if he does not return to duty withm a very few days, he will be dropped for desertion from the army of the United States. That record against a man may affect his lifetime welfare. On a journey in the eastern part of the county, this writer observed five cars at the side of the road with tire trouble. In two of the cases, the tire casings were off the rims for repairs of the tubes, indicating that the cars were not equipped with spares. The significance of these observations is obvious.

"We'll dust off your chimney tomorrow morning and do a couple of barrel rolls so you'll know it's us," one of the cadets promised. "Are you allowed to do that?" one of the girls inquired. No, they admitted, but no one would find out. They were wrong. One of the girls was the daughter of a lieu-tenant-colonel; the other, the daughter of a major. There were no barrel rolls.. I WASHINGTON. July 13 The only second front, which good unofficial advisers hero can see, is a straight-away mill tnry onslaught against the occu pied European coast nearest Britain, from Denmark to Brest ciuDroom speculation con cerns other piore interesting methods. Seizure of Norway and Sweden for air bases, for instance, would put British and American bombers right on top oi ueriin. The nazis have not well de fended their idle northern battle front. Invasion there would en list sympathetic cooperation of inhabitants and put the first battlefield about as far away from German as from British home bases. However, Hitler might thwart such a step by throwing ten di visions into Norway, and there is some reason to believe he is prepared to do Just that. A simultaneous thrust through the Mediterranean at Rommel's rear base of supplies in Libya is likewise one to stir imaginations. The movement of a strong naval fighting force to head large con voy); ci American troops into that area, fighting its way as it went, Is good mainly for parlor discussions. If a landing could be effected in Sicily and- at Tripoli,-in suffi cient force, Rommel could be smashed in short order from two sides, and the way cleared for invasion of sleepy Italy. The rub about this seems to be acquiring the sufficient force. The west coast of France, be low Brest, also has been talked (all of this was unofficial, of course) as a place to strike. The idea behind this suggestion is that Hitler's transplanted Magi not line along the channel coast might be taken in reverse. But this portion of the French i coast is farthest from British bases, and the Germans would command nearby airfields, while the British planes would have to come a much greater dis tance. So, when all speculation is boiled down, you are apt t o come back to the simplest, most difficult and most obvious pros pect an overwhelming batter ing ram blow straight across the channel, with planes blasting the defenses and clearing the way for tanks and infantry. ARMY SHAKE-UP Unofficial surmises are being made of a change to come, sooner or later, at the top of the army. Some of these sugges tions have reached print and radio circulation. The most common speculation is that General George C. Mar shall will be elevated to head this second front or take unified command of- all allied forces outside of Russia, and that two of Harry Hopkins' right-hand men will take over in the war department. Mentioned for Marshall's post as chief of staff has been General Brehon B. Somervell, who served four years as WPA ad ministrator of New York, under Mr. Hopkins, after a notable army engineering career. To replace Somervell as chief of supply, General James H Burns, the Hopkins assistant in charge of lend-lease reports, has been suggested. No confirmation of official talk along this or other similar lines has been offered. It is un likely there would be any until an announcement is made. Both Generals Somervell and Burns have had long army ad ministrative careers, but a com- ment on their appointments would center around their close friendship with Mr. Roosevelt's most intimate associate in the government, the man who hat been referred to 'frequently as "assistant president." Somervell was an eneineer In France In the last World war, ana aisunguisned himself as a peacetime engineer on Missis sippi flood control and other projects before entering the WPA relief organization. He Is classed by his associates as a strong new dealer. General Burns, while associ ated with Hopkins, is less identi. fied with the social political re- lorm aspects of administration policy. With Somervell as chief of staff, the army would be only one degree removed from the White House, bringing It closer even than the navy. 0 ONE-MAN CONTROL The printed suggestions that Marshall might head a unified command reflects the urgent need of a single-headed military control of all allied armies in the field. Tactics now must be decided by negotiation. Plans of attack and defense grow out of consul tations between us, the British, the Canadians, the Chinese and the Australians. Separate army leadership Is functioning in Aus tralia, Egypt, India, China, Brit- SIDE GLANCES tow. iwi it ma atKVKt, wc.

CASELOAD DECREASE E A 3.35 per cent decrease In the Klamath County public wel fare commission's case load dur ing the month of June was re vealed today in a compilation of opening July figures. Mrs. Altha Urquhart, chief of the county commission, said the commission's case total was 374 as of July 1, a decrease of 13 fjrom the June 1 figure. The slump, broken down, showed six off in old age assistance, three off In general assistance, and four off the aid to dependent children class. Aid to the blind cases remained at two, identical to that of June. The Klamath bureau head said case load decrease ordinarily occurred at this time of the year in all divisions other than aid to dependent children. This year's cut In that department, she said, was attributable to the fact that mothers are "choosing to accept private employment" and relatives, enriched through wartime pay envelopes, are help ing support nieces, nephews and cousins. The July 1 case total, com pared to that of June 1, follows: Old age assistance 252 in July, 258 In June. General assistance 93 In July, 98 in June. Aid to dependent children 27 in July, 31 In June. Aid to blind 2 in July. 2 In June. E FREEZE FOR JULY 20 WASHINGTON, July 14 VP) The war production board today ordered top grades of Sitka spruce logs suitable for aircraft manufacture frozen In the hands of their owners, effective July ZQ. Processing after that date It prohibited, except when auth orized by WLB. The order applies to Sitka spruce logs of grade 1 and 2, and cants and flitches of such logs, whether held by individ uals, private companies or gov- ernmental agencies. The only exceptions are cants and flitches held for plane production by air craft manufacturers. Another provision requires that any one wishing to receive any of the restricted , spruce after July 20, other than an air craft manufacturer, must apply to F. H, Brundage, WPB's west ern log and lumber administra tor, at Portland, Ore., not later than the 20th of the month pre ceding that in which delivery Is desired. Any person other than a log ging operator or an aircraft pro ducer who had in his possession yesterday more than 100,000 feet of Sitka spruce logs must file an inventory with Brundaee before Saturday. Wonder if men like women with small feet because sooner or later they expect to be step ped on. If it's a "frozen" article you need, advertise for a used one in the classified. Miuuiiinn a WesterduitM From the filet -r- 4Q From the Klamath Republican July 17, 1902 Many believe this county has progressed far enough to discard the tank In the jail and replace it wiin up-to-date steel cells. The rush of timber applicants, tourists and other strangers into Klamath county at this time keeps the hotels crowded with guests and taxes the capacity of me uvery stables. Hotel Link ville had to turn away 22 seek crs for lodging last Saturday night. The town was never so lively with strangers as now. and the rush has Just commenced. ooo About 30,000 rabbit scalps were received by the county cierit in the last two months and the bounty paid. From the Klamath Newt July 13, 1932 Lions from all over Oregon are here today for a state con vention. o Two new boats have entered the lists for the Upper Klamath lake regatta Thursday.
