SAGGING interest in civilian defense affaire is inevitable
as time runs on, fortunately, with no local "incidents" ;
but because of the ever-present potentialities of the cur
, rent situation, there must be' constant striving for effic
iency, alertness and preparedness.
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.

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.
