Rationing Office Location
THE county rationing board has been offered, and has
accepted, use of quarters in the IOOF building on
Main street for headquarters. 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

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

promised.
"Are you allowed to do that?"
one of the girls inquired.
No, they admitted, but no one

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.

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

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

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.
