T.M MAIL RATES PAYARLI IN ADVANCE By Mil la Klamath, take, Modoc and Bltklyou Oouottea Threa Monmi Hi Montht On Tear Facts cn Evacuee Labor Situation DEFINITE information which helps materially in sizing up the prospects for use of evacuee labor in this basin . comes to us from E. R. Fryer, regional director of the war relocation authority. Mr. Fryer states that for military reasons there can be no use of Japanese evacuee labor in military area No. 1, or that portion of military area No. 2 lying within California. "This precludes the private employment of Jap anese evacuee labor from the Tule lake center any where within the state of California or anywhere within that portion of Oregon lying within military area No. 1," writes Mr. Fryer. The Tulelake district of the Klamath basin lies chiefly In California, and therefore under present rulings evacuee labor cannot be provided there. The main agricultural districts of the Klamath basin in Oregon lie in military area No: 2, in Oregon, and apparently Japanese evacuee labor could be employed in these districts. The Dalles California highway (No. 97) is the west boundary , line of - military area No. 2. In other words, it appears that if all requirements are met, evacuees could be used for farm work at.Mer rill, Malin, Henley, Langell valley, or anywhere within' Oregon and on the east side of highway No. 97. They could not be used anywhere in California. This is not all good news for the Klamath basin, for there are fears of a farm labor shortage that will extend over both sides of the state line in this basin. It has been hoped that the Tulelake WRA project could provide labor, if needed, for farm work in this basin on either .side of the line. The interested organizations may want -Lp to do all possible to have the restrictions changecPto Jrniit evacuee labor anywhere in the basin. It is well, .-.t any rate, to know exactly what the rulings are, and we are indebted to Mr. Fryer for this information. We do feel that if, from a military standpoint, it was safe to locate the evacuation center at Tulelake, it should be safe to permit the evacuees to work irij pri vate employment in tha area immediately surrounding Vie settlement. : It will help to have the evacuee labor available, if needed, on the Oregon side, but there is a sound basis for urging that this privilege be extended a short dis tance into California to help out in the Tule lake district and- the entire Klamath basin.

The Japs have seen a few al ready. When the details of the be fogged battle oi tha Aleutian isl ands are let out, for instance, you will learn how the fighting army air corps sprang a new land based torpedo plane on the Nipponese (the first such ship in history), and accomplished much more damage than has yet been officially claimed. The Japs al ready knoy of this new weapon. They found out the hard way. The Jap Invasion fleet in the Aleutians figured that all they would have to contend with were naval planes which natu rally have to be much lighter to operate from carrier decks. These land based torpedo craft carry an unprecedented projec tile which leaves no doubts as to sinkings when it hits. Where they camo from the Japs do not yet know. This is only an inadequate ex ample of what is coming on land, sea, and in the air. An official of the inventors council testified to a congressional committee the other day that the army, navy and Marine corps had let $640, 000,000 of contracts on their rec ommendation. The inventors council is a committee set up by Mr. Roosevelt to consider all the sensational innovations of war fare concocted by mechanically minded Americans. His testi mony therefore, means nearly two-thirds of a billion dollars of new secret weapons will shortly appear on our side in this war.- Theso include extravagantly imaginative missiles and weap ons that have never been seen before outside of Sunday news paper supplements and some not seen there. HUMAN ELEMENT Not nnlv r n ni ' weapons doming along better i than satisfactorily, but everyone around here has begun to realize ! our boys have fighting, zeal greater than anyone else nas shown in this war. The nazis have it, too, unfortunately, espe cially' when they are winning. The Russians have it when they are losing. Our troopers have it, winning or losing. No more significant news was ever passed down the line than that contained in spots of the Midway Tjattle communique, which gave final proof that our men will go anywhere. Look at that communique again, and you will find that, first, four army torpedo bombers went in against the Jap armada: two came out. Six Marine torpedo planes went in next, only one returned. In the face of this terrifying experience, sixteen Marine dive bombers, nevertheless, dared that devastating fire; only eight returned. The first experience would have been enough for the Italians. The second and third might have finished even the reds and nazis. But then, fifteen naval torpedo planes took off to dare it again and not a single one returned. After this, carrier based tor pedo planes braved another at tack, and wrecked much that was left of the Jap fleet. And in a final attack, we lost two out of four flying fortresses, and again a single flying fortress carrying brave army air force General Tinker. That Is the -way we got the Jap fleet. No better evidence can be drawn from all American his tory that Americans have super ior fighting spirit still.

"Clem, you're proud of your boy now, but if he'd nircd his views like that in overalls a year ago, you'd have sent him home to bed 1" cations of what Is to come when the second front is opened. In the battle of the Java sea, our flying fortresses carried a tail gun for the first time. The Japs had become accustomed to going after the tails of our big ships since they found at the outset of the war, this part was least well protected. The pilot of one of the fortresses became per turbed during the battle, when he heard the Jap zeroes zooming in upon the tail of his ship and the rattle of their machine gun fire against it. That happened three or four times, before he called back to his rear gunner and asked, in an exasperated voice, why did the gunner not knock off those zeroes before they could unleash their ma chine gun fire. The gunner's clas sic reply was: "Hell, captain, they look so pretty when they explode." Like his forefathers at Bunk- er Hill he had been taking their ,ile "ntil tneJLg? c,lose cnou?h Ior n,m. ,ne'r ""I?3 wl hJhis co"nterl!5- Hc uu"" when the captain spoke, and got six in all. Detailed accounts of the Doo little bombing of Japan show his boys flew under telegraph wires and under the branches of trees, sometimes only ten feet off the ground. Indeed, yes. Gur boys will go anywhere. WAR QUIZ 1. This flag flies over one of the two South American nations which still carries on diplomatic relations with the axis..

They were thickest near the river. It is said they were migrating trom the lower swamps to Upper Klamath lake, and we are told that a million toads passing through town Is not unprecedented. One day, some years ago, tho sidewalks were black with them and they often stampeded, piling up in a jumping, kicking mass a foot deep. They are as harmless as our snakes and nearly if not quite as beneficial. While the snakes destroy rattlesnakes and noxious vermin, the toads do vote particular attention to atomic poisons in the air. Both arc indispensable contributors to the good health and comfort of the country and it would be unjust and unfair to dlscrlm mate in favor of cither and against the other.

With the attention of most traders focused on Washington, where action In the anti-Inflation fight was watched closely, wheat contracts dipped about 1 cent In early dealings. The late rally carried quotations above the preceding session's close. At the close, both wheat and corn were at their highs for tho day.

The lata rally was considered primarily technical as wheat had slipped 31 to 41 cents in last week's liquidation. Some traders felt the bread cereal was entitled to some upturn after its recent weakness. Failure of hedge sell ing to attain the proportions ex pected was a stimulating factor.
