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. Voron
. czh, although the Russians have
been flailing, their flanks and
have forced a counter-crossing
'of the river.

the submarines continues to fill
the front pages. Major Sever
sky, one of our outstanding air
authorities, endorses it strongly.
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

Earl H. Kester of Merrill, who
was picked up by city' police at
East Main and South Sixth street

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

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
