While the general civilian defense program is round ing out through repeated practices and carefully planned training, there is a reported falling-off in attendance in some of the divisions as well as a considerable turnover in membership. Helpful in maintaining interest in this highly import ant activity will be public recognition of the work being done and a showing, whenever the opportunity is afforded, of real public appreciation of the efforts of our civilian defense workers. This newspaper recognizes the part it has to play in such a program, and it will strive to do its part. Organizations and individuals would do well to seize every opportunity to demonstrate to the civilian de fense people that the importance of their work is gen erally realized and appreciated. Likewise, we are told that there is a need for recruits in many of the divisions of civilian defense activity. Many of the people who entered this work after December 7 have dropped out for one reason or another, leaving vacancies that must be filled by volunteers. Here is an opportunity to do something real in the war effort. .. . The first air raid -scares are now nearly forgotten, and there has probably been a letdown in home prepared ness. Those of us who have been negligent in this respect should take note of the fact that there are to be 10,000 window stickers for use here which advertise to the world that the house showing one is fully prepared. : These stickers can be obtained . when an air raid warden says that a residence qualifies for one. If we all get busy, we can make it possible to distribute these 10,000 stickers to that many homes in Klamath county. Ray Conway, the state war savings administrator, has a good argument for every occasion in which the question of war savings arises. He should, of course, in view of his' job, but Ray is particularly well prepared, as this story will reveal. We were talking about payroll deductions and how much they might be felt in the coming months by those receiving paychecks shortened for the bond-buying ef fort. Mr. Conway asked: "Do you know anybody who has lost a relative in the war, or: has -been killed or taken prisoner, or other wise has been hurt by the struggle?" We thought of Denny Rees, and Tommy Pritchard's mother, and others, and answered in the affirmative. Then Ray drove home his point: "Do you know anyone who has really been hurt by buying war savings bonds?" Forrest Cooper, for a dozen or more years a practicing attorney in Lakeview and in the same period extremely active in all manner of civic affairs in. the neighboring community, is moving to Portland so he can join the state war savings staff. Mr. Cooper, who, incidentally, has been The Herald and. News Lakeview correspondent for many years, will be .missed in Lakeview and Klamath Falls. But he can be counted upon to turn in a good job for war savings. M.E.. By PaulHalioiQ Bunco Artists Take Portland. For a Ride PORTLAND, July 25 (JP) Bunco, artists, continuing to find good. , pickings among the gul lible here, made another $500 haul" last night, boosting the to tal to $5510 in less than two months. Police reported the newest victim was Ellsworth D. Cook, Seattle, who was met by two bunco men as he arrived at a bus depot and lured into a coin matching game. . Officers said that many bus travelers have been taken in by the coin aces but that Portland residents have been the heaviest losers, usually falling for the threats of men posing as detec tives who demand bail before releasing their victims. WASHINGTON. July 25 It was not fully clear from the text, but Stnto Secretary Hull's fireside chat was designed to warm the American people up to the increasing seriousness of the war situation. Apprehensions of officials here at the turn of the battle in Russia were somewhat lost in Mr. Hull's restrained choice of statesman-like language. But you will notice the implication of his whole address was that there can be no compromise, no matter what happens in Russia that we are fighting irreconcil ably for the freedom of our lives, and nation and world. Of secondary importance were the quiet, firm warnings to Ar gentina, and other neutrals that they cannot remain neutral in such a struggle; as well as the deft depositing of a little salt on the ambitions of the most vision ary new dealers who have been conjuring up a millcnium for the post-war world. As Mr. Hull went on the air, published maps indicated the nazis were still on the west side of the lower Don, but they had actually crossed it at two strate gic points. Timoshenko's army was then caught in two bad pockets. The first was east of Stalin grad, where a large Russian force was faced by the nazis in front and the Don on two other sides. The other pocket was pinching Rostov. To extricate himself from this second net, a fast retirement by Timoshenko seemed necessary. But at both ends of the battle line in the first pocket, the nazis already had crossed the Don. northward and southward, and were moving toward Stalingrad from three directions. No one here knew how much Timoshenko had in reserve. It was clear he had offered no real resistance thus far to the nazl ad vance, except at the extreme northern end of the battle line around Voronezh. Officials were little better informed than the public about the disposition of the Russian forces or with a knowledge of what to expect. They could foresee the pos sible fall of the Caucausus devel oping, perhaps within a month after the fall of Stalingrad and Rostov. They had to face the pos sibility that the Russians might even wind up the summer with the loss of Leningrad and Mos cow, and be thrown back upon a line running roughly from As trakhan to Murmansk. Any no tion that the reds might surren der, however, did not enter any official mind. AU were desper ately impatient for signs of the expected Russian counter-attack. POST-WAR WORLD Mr. Hull's idea for the post war world recognized and ac cepted many aims of Vice Presi dent Wallace and his corps of promoters, but leveled these down to an entirely different plane. Mr. Hull advocated "co- cowi. mi it t tana, we. t. . ta M . wr. on. j "Folks sort of snubbed me and old Bnrncy before the war, ' ma'am, but now we're welcome at the best homes 1" operation among nations," not a new league of nations, or a single world democracy, or "union now." He advocated helping needy nations which show gen uine willingness to cooperate fairly in a new world trade sys tem, not a free-for-all new deal spending program to industrial ize the world at our expense. While he wanted an interna tional police force and disarma ment, he talked none of Mr. Wal lace's wage scales for remote peoples or the quart of milk a day for the beer-drinking work ers of Europe and other dietary matters. Here again Mr. Hull seemed to be standing at the right of the new deal, facing the extremists of the left a fact which sug gests that Mr. Roosevelt may be preparing the way to emerge eventually with a program of his own lying half-way between the two; TOE-TREADING Among the toes upon which Mr. Hull seemed lightly to tread were those of Dr. Alvin H. Han sen, Harvard, special thinker for the natural resources planning board. Dr. Hansen offered his views for the' post-war world in ' an interview published in the Chicago Journal of Commerce. June 27. He advocated "boldness." He wants "an administrative ! democracy," which sounds very I much more like a centralized , state than a people's govern ment, with a federal debt burden of perhaps $250,000,000,000 or more to start with; continuation of the existing tax scale on the people, continued price and pro duction controls on business, and something sensationally new to the public at least a surrender by congress to the president of specific powers over spending and taxation, whereby congress would merely fix the limits and let the executive department fix the taxes and work out the spending. In this last instance again, we would take power from tho di rect representatives of tho peo ple in corif-ross, and put it into the hands of one man.
