Finger on the Eligibles
k E quote from a press release of the office of war
T information :
-"Orders- of war agencies will soon make any auto
mobile traveling on the highways faster than 40 miles an
hour about as conspicuous as a straw hat on Christmas.
rThe: story goes on to say that besrinninir Auiiust 1.
all motor vehicles, with the exception of passenger cars
which are ineligible for tires or recaps, will be under a
strict 40-mile-an-hour speed limit set by the OPA and ODT,
Ration, boards, under the new ordera, will refuse to
grant tires to, cars which have been driven over 40 miles
an hour. Applicants will be asked for sworn affidavits
to attest that the car has not been driven over that speed
..Hence, it is clear that the. privilege of getting recaps
or new tires carries with it a' greater responsibility than
that oh-.the. shoulders' of -ineligible drivers. But it has
been observed that some of the most flagrant violators
ot tne slower speed limits now in force are people eligible
for new .tires or recaps,-and not infrequently a car with
a government license onjt is seen burning up the pave
ment. . ';.-. - .
. The new. orders of ODT and OPA puts the finger
directly on eligibles, where it should be. At the same
time, the public generally should remember that the
president-and the governor of Oregon have asked drivers
to stay within the 40-mile limit.
i ;f Holman in Oregon
SENATOR RUFUS' HOLMAN, who was a Klamath vis
itor Vednesday, has been subjected to some press
criticism recently because he has spent considerable time
in Oregon. The Portland Journal recently mentioned his
"record of absence from the senate when crucial war
matters were awaiting action."
"Damned if you do and damned if you don't," is Sen
ator Holman's characteristic reply. Here is his comment
on this situation: :
"Every day of my career to date" as United States senator
has been employed at the place where, at the time, I be
lieved I could occupy myself in the public interest most
effectively. I have not even taken a vacation and at the
present . time,, Although I have been in and about the Oregon
countryjlfor'the past three weeks, I have never visited my
manufacturing business nor seen my manager or any of my
employes;! fk..
"Senator McNary is criticized because he has not visited
Oregon more than he has, while I am criticized because I do
returri'.to Oregon at every possible opportunity. In other
words, it appears senators are damned if they do and damned
if they don't by those who have their own personal motives
for such attacks. Senator McNary. has very good and suffi
cient reasons for being at all times where he is and has been,
and I have equally good and sufficient reasons for being at
all times where I am and have been. We rnnrHi nafa mil1
efforts and. cooperate for the welfare of pur state and nation."
It will be remembered that when Willis Mahoney
wa8 running against Senator-McNary (and almost beat
him) a favorite stunt of Willis'- was to ask his audience
how many, of its members had seen Senator McNary.
As minority leader, 'it is necessary for McNary to re
main in Washington, although we imagine he longs for
the coolness of Oregon- on these hot summer days. Sen
ator Holman is in Oregon on the business of the nation
and the state, as his letter indicates. We are gratified
that he found time to visit Klamath Falls on a quick trip
in connection with military matters. This community may
well benefit from his interest.

The Klamath irrigation dis
trict has proposed a plan for
preventing further floods on
Tule lake. The project would
involve building a canal north
from the present Tule lake sump,
tunneling the mountain and in
stallation of two large force
pumps. This plan would not
only make possible additional
cultivation and prevention of
floods, but would also irrigate
several thousand acres of land on
Lower Klamath lake, where the
excess water would be deliv
ered.

W7ASHINGTON, July 20
Representative Lyndon
Johnston tipped a few high of
ficials' chairs over backward
when ho camo back from the
Far East battlefront and criti
cized our planes as well as our
fighting loaders.
His criticism camo forth the
sumo day It was announced that
American flyers had used Brit
ish plnnrs in their first mid on
the continent, Instead of their
own.
Also at least one aviation
manufacturer In this country has
been heard complaining lntoly
that our program puts too much
emphasis on quantity, too little
on quality.
The Inference from all tliosu
and other similar murmuriiiRs
is that our fighting ships arc In
ferior to both the Japs and the
British.
Such drastic conclusions how
ever do not seem warranted. If
they were truo, we certainly
have the most colossal assembly
ot dunderheads ever assembled,
in churgo of choosing planes for
our fighting services.
They have known nil about
the Japs, as well as the British
ships, for many months, and only
the most extravagant stupidity
could possibly huvo prevented
them from using the vast mech
anical facilities and genius ot
American production.
But tho situation is hardly so
clear cut. The Jap ships, for
instance, seem to be superior In
some qualities, the British in
others, and ours in still more.
NOT EVERYTHING
You cannot have maneuver
ability, fast climbing and speed
In planes without neglecting
armor, firepower and self-sealing
gas tanks. The Japs, the British
and our people have been requir
ed to choose which of these qual
ifications they wanted and which
they would sacrifice.
Mow no cautious reporter will
attempt to do anything more in
the current argument among
aviation technicians than report
tne lull facts, without expressing
arbitrary judgment. The othur
side of Mr. Johnson's story, as I
gather it here. Is this:
The Jap Zero Is superior to
our navy fighters In climbing
ability and speed, but it is very
vulnerable. An A. P. dispatch
recently claimed new Jap mod
els are sacrificing their speed to
put on more armor. The Zoro
has no armor now, and docs not
carry self-sealing gas tanks. One
hit and it Is gone.
In combat, so far, our planes
have proved more than a match
for the Japs, due perhaps in
some part to our superiority in
armor, firepower and self-sealing
tanks, but most of all because
our pilot efficiency is greatly
superior to the Japs.
Our PBY flying boats (long-
range patrol bombers), however,
is one type of ship that has been
no match for the Jap Zeros, but
our flying fortresses are su
premo.
New navy planes will be com
ing along as soon as present or
ders are finished, and promise
correction of some of our defects.
The army started off with
planes similar to the light fire
power and protection of the i
Zeros, as did the British, but
theso were sooh abandoned.
Earlier models of our P-40
proved greatly Inferior to both
the British nd Jap- But a
British communique Sunday
paid high tribute to the new
P-51, our latest North American
pursuit ship.
The old POs have been used
mainly by our air force In China
and Libya, but new models In
use elsewhere carry superior
firepower, armor, etc. Although
they are not as mancuverable as
the Zeros.

It has a 2000 horsepower air
cooled engine, and has tested at
(IH0 miles per hour In a power
dive, flying level at 400 miles
per hour. It will outshoot the
Zero and has greater protection.
As for tho Americans (lying
British ships In their first laid.
It is said that British production
has concentrated on pursuit ships
which they cunnot easily gel
from us, as these must be crated
and shipped overseas, whllo our
production has placed emphasis
on big bombers which, can be
flown over. The British are sup
posed to fly our bombers In Eng
land, while we use their pur
suits. For these reasons, little of
ficial notice win taken of the
Johnson charges or other critical
I murmuring". Tho men In nu

their explanation cited above,
that all our ships are not tha
best In tho world, that much re
mains to bo done, ulthouuh they,
at least, seem to be satisfied
that they are doing It.
Certain it Is, that tho isolated
engagement In which wo have
been involved so far have proved
that our fighting men have whnt
It takes to win. Our leudernliip
and our equipment still has nut
been so thoroughly tested us yet.
Until they are tested, no out
sider can safely reach conclusions

which any drastic changes pan

Meanwhile, the Johnson

utmost of their ability.
