The Ruwetsat ridge where Rommel is concentrating his main force lies some 10 miles south of the coast which it par allels for about seven miles. Rommel was reported holding the" western end of the ridge and seeking to push the British ' from the : eastern end, which they took in a seven-mile ad 1 vance Wednesday.

In line with all this, we add a word for the parents who op pose the sale of beer in the can- . teens. These folk have brought up their boys to turn down the glass.

' 7-18 NLRB ORDERS E WASHINGTON, July 18 (AP) The National Labor Relations board announced yesterday decision and direction of elec tions among mill employes of Weyerhaeuser Timber company, Klamath Falls, Ore. In a ma jority decision the board ruled that a question concerning rep resentation should be determ ined despite a collateral Juris dictional dispute between two AFL unions. Elections were ordered . as soon as possible within 30 days to determine (1) whether ma chine shop workers, including all electricians, car men, mill wrights, and their helpers wish ed representation by Lumber and Sawmill Workers union, Local 3026 (AFL), the Interna tional Woodworkers of America, Local 6-12 (CIO), the Interna tional Association of Machinists, Lodge No. 1437 (AFL), or by none of these; (2) whether re maining production and main tenance employes of the mill operations of the company wish ed representation by Lumber and sawmill Workers of Amer ica (AFL); by International Woodworkers of America (CIO), or by neither. Should a majority of the workers in the machine shop seiect tne iam that will remain a separate unit. Should a ma jority choose the same repre sentative as chosen by a ma jority of the remaining produc tion workers then the machine shop workers would be included in the larger industrial unit as the appropriate bargaining agency. Local leaders of both tho AFT. and CIO today received official notification from the national labor relations board nt tha Weyerhaeuser election order. xney said the election has been ordered held within an days of July 15. The pending poll Is regarded by labor leaders as one of the most Important NLRB elections in the hlstorv of nnlnnlim In Klamath county. The CIO sev- e i monuis ago won bargain ing rights for Weyerhaeuser wooas employes. Third Restaurant Announces One-Day-a-Week Closing A third maior Klamath r.ll. restaurant today announced adoption of a one-dav-each.wMk closure policy. Mrs. Avis McConnell. mono. ger of the Pelican cafe, said that doors will be closed all day Sunday from now until further notice. The wartime labor short age was listed as the reason for closure. Molatore'a cafe for th nost several months has been closed on Mondays and the Elk' hotel cotiee shoo dosed on Sundava. Hershberger's restaurant, for merly an all night operation, recently has been closed from l a. m. to 6 a. m. Editorials on News (Continued From Page One) a result of the unlimited demands of war time. If war booms could be prevented, it might be pos sible to avoid AFTER THE WAR crashes. That, at least, was the thought back of the idea of establishing price ceilings. TET'S try a simple Illustration. Hot air rises. It can be PREVENTED from rising by putting a ceiling over it IF THE CEILING IS TIGHT. But If there are HOLES in. the ceiling the hot air will rise THROUGH THE HOLES, prac tically as if there were no ceil ing. TN war time, prices, like hot air, TEND TO RISE. . If a price ceiling were placed over them, it might be possible to keep war time prices from rising, just as it is possible to keep hot air from rising by putting a ceiling over It, But only If there were NO HOLES IN THE CEILING. Canada is trying out a ceiling with no holes in it, and it seems to be working. But our ceiling has holes in It. One hole Is provided for wages. Another hole is provid ed for farm prices. - pOR that reason, it is extremely doubtful if our price celling will work. If it DOESN'T work, we shall find ourselves plunged head over heels Into the inflation whirlpool. WASHINGTON, July 18 (AP) By voice vote, the house com plcted congressional action to day on a $93,0,00,000 measure authorizing construction of a Florida barge canal and other waterway and pipeline facilities designed to help relieve the east MM USER MILL ELECTION coast oil shortage. HERALD "AND KEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SP, GN Jump Handling Capacity By 80 Per Cent (Continued from Page One) us what It was w thought he said eight per cent. But 80 It is and this is about as good a time as any to tell you that the GN Is spending 1100,000 on an expansion pro gram already under way which will connect their Whltellne and South Klamath yards with three miles of new track, provide added icing facilities tor through and local freight, cover the construction of a new 1200- foot "Wye," and pay for build ing several new trestles, con crete culverts and platforms. All of this will "expedite and facilitate, freight handling ap preciably," which doesn't tell you or anyone else who might want to know more definitely Just how much. But the quotes com from a GN guy who ought to know, ' Jammed ; Over at the other" end of town the Southern Pacific hasn't been doing badly either. They were already jammed almost to the gun'la and we hope they don t mind the Insertion of a nautical term before the cherry blossom boys stabbed us in the region of Christmas last. But the SP reports a freight handling increase of 20 per cent since BPH. And a good thing it was that they already had under way on uecemoer 7 a track enlarge ment program destined to boost their handling facilities close to 100 per cent. The job Is com pleted now and comes in mighty handy. Which la probably an understatement. But the Southern Pacific in addition to freight has the re sponsibility of hauling live rev enue in the form of both busy businesa men scurrying about making more business for trans portation and busy soldiers who are back of it all. In the pass enger department the SP re ports a 50 per cent Jump in the past year. Surprised? Maybe you're surprised at all this and maybe you're not. Either way, you're probably thinking so what So how do I know the railroads are doing a good job? Maybe with all their increases they're doing only half a job. Maybe 50 per cent of the nation's freight is standing idle waiting for box cars or bottoms. In that case we'll have to refer you to either (a) Mr. East man (b) the nearest shipper or consignee you find or (c) your ireign. agent. Or better sUU, all three. Mr. Eastman says the railroaders are doine all rleht. and don't think he wouldn't say so If they weren't. Your ship per will report he's not being Inconvenienced. And your freight agent can tell you al most to the hour when your dox ot cooKies win arrive at ; Fort Lewis, Camp Roberts or ' Nome. Cars Adequate Officials of both the SP inri GN say that car supplies are adequate. None standing on the j iracKs, you understand. But an adequate number to handle all business. And who's responsible for all this? Well. It's "Casev" Jones. ien-uay" O'Reilly. "Hee-Haw I Mike" and a couple of hundred j thousand others like him. Rail-1 roaders. Gents who. if they're work ing for the SP on the Klamath division, are drawing down $135,000 per month instead of $90,000 as they were at this time last year. Or who have been responsible for a 60 per cent boost In the GN'a local operation payrolls. There are 400 Great Northern checks Issued now to 320 last July. Precisely, or almost, 25 per cent more. This means, if we went to the right schools, that each employe is earning considerable more than he did last year. In December he and all his fellow workers over the country' were granted pay in creases by a mediation board decision. On top of that he's putting in some overtime which pays time and one-half. Because of accounting pro cedure and its tie-up with other departments, nobody at the SP could give us the exact em ploye - total. Nevertheless, it's larger by perhaps twice or thrice that of the GN. Those are the guys who "never knew what they could do until they had to do It." '- . Dark Cloud There's a tiny dark cloud peeking around the silver lin ing, however. Manpower. That army the boys are working so hard to supply figures that if they can do a Job like they're doing for the railroads, they can most certainly do a Job for the army. The draft ' has already cut away most of the manpower reserve and has bitten straight into the railroad ranks. Right now both roads are employing high school youths and recalling a few pensioned ex-railroaders. When school opens In the fall there are going to be more than Just several unfilled jobs. And the drafting of married men is not helping much. No Grousing Don't think for a minute any body's grousing. GN and SP RUSS-ALL1ED LINK HELD IN E (Continued from Page One) lerovo, 130 miles north of Ros tov, seemed to have split, with one group advancing duo south ward on the railway and tho other striking out cross-country to the southeast. The original Mlllerovo throat had appeared to be aimed ex clusively nt Stalingrad, 175 miles to the east. , A position on the lower Don such as the Germans now claim tpyould put them In position to attack Rostov from the rear or try for a direct southward push Into the Caucasus oil region, by passing Rostov, or to both. Tha assault on Rostov prob ably was the mission of forces moving south from Mlllerovo, astride the Moscow-Rostov rail way, which the Germans have Indicated had reached points 65 miles from the city. The Germans indicated that capture of Voroshilovgrad, about 100 miles northwest ot Rostov, had facilitated a sweep to tha Don. Tiio Russians have not, however, conceded either loss of Voroshilovgrad or positions cast of Rostov. Russian claims of United suc cesses In counter-attacks on the northern flank ot the broad German offensive, In the Vor onezh area, were grimly over shadowed by the Rostov threat. officials both say the draft boards have been very fair and they wouldn't have It any other way. But the bucket is fast growing empty and there are still a lot of tanks, guns and soldiers which aren't much good In factory warehouses and training camps. Nobody has suggested It yet but, if no other solution is found, you may find Mrs. Casey Jones at the throttle or at least nearby como next year. Which ought to settle that backseat driving issue once and for all. There aro somo who will say it will be a sad solution. What ever the solution, however. It's a short-priced bet that whoever is on the job won't back down when you throw that quote at him about, "We railroad guys nover knew what we could do until we had to do it."
