(Continued from Fag One) axli troops on the El Alameln line repulsed tank attacks yes terday and axis airmen shot down J 8 planes, four of them torpedo planes which attacked an axis convoy. Don Crossing ( Russian dispatches conceded one Don crossing but declared that, the Germans were dug In on "the south bank, opposite the Tsimlyansk area and were the focus of strong attacks to dis lodge them before the position could be exploited for a deeper 'thrust into the vital Caucasus. ; The wandering Don was tinged with blood as it flowed past Tsimlyansk westward to Rostov where also the enemy's shock troops were said by the Russians to have wedged them Selves into the Russian defenses. ' The Germans said that the battle for Don crossings was In full swing on a broad front at Rostov and east of that city. i As for the German claim that Rostov had been stormed and taken, British military sources t said today that the enemy prob- ably was in the outskirts of that city and possibly in the streets -but that the report of Rostov's .capture was premature. . Although the admitted Don crossing, at Tsimlyansk, 120 miles upsteam from Rostov, was "being dealt with," Moscow . said, the situation there recalled similar development of the Vor onezh battle after the German ' crossing of the upper Don three weeks ago. The Germans still are lodged on the-east bank, before.

He says the Germans, in their Russian campaign, have handled more than FORTY PER CENT of their supply problem by air transport. Rommel he says, would have, been out of the African picture long ago but tor the supplies and reinforcements that have reached him BY AIR. Today's dispatches tell us the Germans are rushing completion of airports in the flat country of the Don bend and are using them to land transports carrying tuel and ammunition. AN Italian plane nas just made the round trip from Rome to Tokyo and back, and its crew is welcomed home today by Mus solini. " It isn't so much WHY IT WENT that interests us, al though that would be worth knowing, as the fact that it was able to make the long trip over wide areas dominated by allied forces. The airplane is coming out of its swaddling clothes. "pHE dispatches tell us today that the U. S. aircraft carrier Essex, built SINCE we entered the war, has just been launched at Newport News. Its. quick construction is described as "im plementing the growing em phasis on air power.'1 Aircraft carriers, the air men contend, are an INTERMED IARY weapon, useful only to bridge the present period when aircraft lack sufficient range. (As when horses had to be kept handy to haul autos home when they broke down or ran out of gas.) KESTER FINED IN POLICE COURT Earl H. Kester of Merrill, who was picked up by city' police at East Main and South Sixth street at 5:30 p. m, Friday for drunk driving, paid a $100 fine in po lice court Saturday morning with a 30-day jail sentence suspend ed. Kester was the driver of a ear which crashed into the back of an automobile driven by Mrs. Opal Hall which in turn bumped a third car driven by Mrs. Ruby Gilford , when the latter two were stopped waiting for the traffic signal to change. Joe Scott of Beatty, who ap peared before Police Judge Leigh Ackerman Friday after noon charged with drunk driv ing, Is in jail, sentenced to 30 days and $100 fine. He was ar rested on East Main street Thurs day when he sideswiped another car while driving on the wrong side of the street Don Mast and Carrol B. Nixon reported to police that their cars were involved in a parking tan gle at the Tik Tok on South Sixth street, which damaged the right fender of another parked car belonging to Keith L. Rice. There was little damage. PLEASANT SURPRISE LAKEVIEW, Ore., (Special) Ray Conway of Portland, admin istrator of the state war bond sales program, walked into a pleasant surprise here Monday afternoon when he found that Lake county had reached its July quota that day by a buying rush, which sent total purchases near the $60,000 mark with sev eral substantial checks to come in from the mills in connection with the July 25 pay day.

KLAMATH TURNS OUT LUMBER FOR WAR USE (Continued from Page One) erations are working close to 100 per cent on orders either directly or indirectly destined lor the armed forces. They're employing over 6000 men and women working an average of ; 47 hours per week in sawmills and a shade under 4o hours in logging camps. We're sorry we can't give you any comparative statistics on tha employe setup for the "lost" d cado, Those of today were furn ished by the Pine Industrial Re lations committee, an organisa tion recently brought into being as an indirect result of the war boom and more directly as t re sult of the boom's accompanying labor problem. The PIRC told us further that a survey showed of 14 operations in the immediate vicinity which Included most of Klam ath county showed them that 12 of 13 sawmills covered were still operating only one shift; the other two. Of 13 planing mills, seven are operating a sin gle shift; six are on double duty. Eight box factories are on single time; two are doubling. From the surface of tha fore going facts, it would seem to fol low that our mills are not yet at capacity; that capacity would re quire double and triple shifts in planing mill departments which includes the shipping or final production ind. v Drying Important Facta The catch lies in drying capa city, which determines shipping speed at. this time of the year. Logging and sawing can proceed no faster than either dry kiln or yard capacity can handle incom ing green lumber. Shipping can be stepped up no more quickly than production of dry lumber will allow. You've probably noted recent ly that local drying yards are close to jam-packed. Come fall and dry lumber and ponderosa pine will really stream through planing mills and into boxcars in Klamath county. That Is, if there's anyone left to man the pumps, figuratively speaking.-. The draft and our re cruiting friends rightly assume they come first and have been draining the countryside of bat tle talent. Until recently the mills haven't squawked. But now, according to selective serv ice officials, the draft is breath ing down the necks of older em ployes in key positions and de ferments are being requested. They're necessary if the in dustry is to keep producing. Un less women can entirely take over. PIRC statistics reveal a 161.2 per cent increase in the number of women working in box factories and planing mills since the war began. Before Pearl Harbor, 80 was the total in the PIRC's survey. Since then 129 have been added. Plus 33 boys under 18 years of age, incidentally. However, there's another pos sibility to be reckoned with. Where's all this productive ca pacity going to be funneled when government demand stops? Which it might when canton ments have been completed. Well, there won't be any pri vate home building to take up the slack because private home builders can't get furnaces, plumbing, electrical equipment or any of the multitude of other gadgets necessary to build one. Farmers will probably buy common board, now frozen, for new barns as they always do when times are good. But that won't take care of shop and se lects and all the boards for that j They're going to have to keep shipping shells which ara pack ed in wooden cases. But how much lumber will be needed ' there is problematical. Grain Bins G. C. Lorenz and his partners are building grain bins with 25, 000,000 feet of ponderosa pine and fir. But he expects to wind that up by Labor day. Reports from the eastern gentlemen who sell Klamath county's lumber indicate a belief that government demand will be buttoned up by mid-autumn. We don't pretend to be a seer, understand. But we thought you'd like to know. The evidence says demand I may start to slide perhaps. ! But like war, lightning and Mr. j Ickes, nobody knows where or how it might strike next. Anyway, if it slips a little, Mr. Watts can resort to his conserve-: tlonism, more of Klamath's boys can get to the main point of argument, and the industry can ! relax in knowing a job well done, j P. S. If you'd like some more GET THE Mi MOST HIAT Our of Your Oill L(t Ul Sorvloo your lurMr Call for Now! 11 Klamath Oil Co. Howl figures, we'd suggest perusal of the accompanying box showing Klamath counly lumber produc tion since 1925. And if you're interested in that sort of thing, remember that Klamath county in 1941 had 17 billion feet of standing merchantable timber; that 240 million feet are being added each year through growth; and that 340 million feet are be ing eaten and burned away by pine beetles and fire. RELIGIOUS SECT Representatives of Jehovah's Witnesses, a religious sect, ap peared before the central labor council Friday evening and made a statement explaining their doctrines. The appearance resulted from a denunciation of the witnesses before the city council Monday night by the AFL carpenters union, support ed by the centra! labor council. No action was taken by the labor council Friday night after it heard a long statement read bv Cleve Powers, hoarilne th Witness committee. Witnesses denied they were among those who did not re move henricenr at tim Vnnrth nf July parade, as claimed by the swpomers.- iney said iney were busy moving into a new hall at that time. They also denied they had attempted to force the Watchtower, a magazine, upon the public. They declared Wit nesses are not consclentlnu. nh. jectors as an organization. They merely "Claim exemption for their ministers of the gospel," the statement said. Powers said that this was the first time any labor organization had made a conmlnlnt aoni net Jehovah's Witnesses, Photos, "Bomber" Maps Found With Enemy Alien NEW YORK .Tnlv 9 im Aerial photographs and "bomb er maps showing vltol spots throughout New York and New Jersey were found In ih session of one of 11 enemy aliens seized in a roundup yesterday, P.

Meantime Chairman Emory Lnnd declared flatly that "abso lutely no outside Influence" had entered into the maritime com mission's decision cancelling the contract. Just as firmly, he ascribed shortage of shipbuilding steel as the reason for the action, and said that there now were suffl clent ways and sufficient yards to absorb present steel allocs tlons to the commission "Bnd any additional allocations. "Never Give Up" Hlggins, nsked today by a re porter whether he had any hope that the cancellation might yet be revoked, replied, "I'll never give up hope."
