Lake, Modoc and SUklyou Counties Thrc Monthi . fits Monthi On Year - Parents' Job A MIDSUMMER upswing in juvenile problems is in evidence here. 1 Methods of enforcement of the curfew are a favorite topic at city council meetings. The finger is being put on places of entertainment, particularly skating rinks, to see to it that youngsters behave themselves and go home within hours. Police and juvenile officers pick up or warn minors who are found on the streets after 10 p. m., unaccompanied by adults. Juvenile authorities know that they cannot accom plish much by these methods, for the only really effective control must come through parents. If fathers and mothers do not. care whether their children are home at the time specified in the city ordinance, other people can't do much about it. It is late in the evening, when the law says children shall not be on the public streets, that juveniles get into trouble. Records of many of the serious delinquency cases that develop here show that the first time the sub ject came to the attention of police was an apparently harmless case of curfew violation. Another problem presents itself in connection with the curfew. Whereas the city has a 10 p. m. deadline and attempts to enforce it, there is no regulation of any kind outside the city limits. If police in town turn the heat on, violators can move out of town. Here again, parental discipline gets the call. It knows no political boundaries and ought to be brought into play for the greater safety of our boys War Savings Test ANDY COLLIER'S report that Klamath invested ?2,000, 000 in war bonds since July, 1941, tells a story of determined effort on the part of our active war savings staff and patriotic cooperation by the citizens of this . county. Now comes a serious test in the matter of making a 8307,500 quota for July. inordinately high when it savings people have gone the quota may be reached buying. Visit of the Victory House of Standard of California, to be at Eighth and Main streets Friday and Saturday, win neip direct public attention to the -bond and stamp drive. Here is a program that should be interesting as an entertainment feature as well as helpful in making Klamath's bond quota. People with stamp books' par tially, filled should make an effort to complete these books by Friday and change them into bonds to help make the July quota. A great many Klamath people are cooperating in the Victory House and Victory Quota days effort. The committee in charge of entertainment received gratifying response from all asked to take part. A large turnout of spectators for the programs should mark the public's appreciation of their efforts. If we all get in and pull, Klamath county can make its July bond quota, and continue a record of war savings that has been outstanding. The Caucasus, at whose gateways the Hitler hordes are pounding, has a unique distinction. It apparently has more gateways than Crater lake when every chamber of commerce, on both sides of the Cascades, claimed it was the only one. Perry in Medford Mail-Tribune. Hopkins, Mrs. Maey Wed In White House Ceremony WASHINGTON, July 30 JP) Harry Hopkins, presidential aide, and Mrs. Louise Gill Macy, New York socialite and fashion writ er, were married today In the first White House wedding in 24 years. President and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt were pres ent. The simple ceremony took place in the president's oval study on the second floor of the White House. The Rev. Dr. Russell J. Clinchy of Hartford, Conn., read ths vows. The guc;t list, in ad dition to Mrs. Clinchy, was limit ed to 13 members of the im mediate families of the bride and groom, and in addition, members of the White House staff. After the ceremony, the presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt were hosts at a luncheon for the wed ding guests. Mrs. Hopkins' wedding dress was a simple, street-length blue crepe. Her especially designed ewelry included earclips, lapel pins incorporating a victory knot motif copied from a sail or's manual. The wedding ring was a twist of gold rope, and the engagement ring a cluster of diamonds set in gold rope. She was given in marriage by ier brother-in-law, Lieutenant Nicholas Ludington, U. S. N., of Ardmore, Pa.

It is not likely that he will come back and attempt to con quer Britain. The British have too much of an air force now. That possibility is therefore eliminated from practically every official list now. And if he cannot hope to eon- qucr Britain by assault, much less can he be expected to at tempt invasion of the United States or this hemisphere. We have control of the intervening seas. There is more reason to be lieve he will carry his currently moving blows on through to the near east. From Stalingrad, he may try to move south to the Caspian .From Rostov he rould hope to sweep through the Call casus into Iran. By simultaneous thrusts through Syria and Egypt, he could Join his forces for a march to the Indian ocean. Turkey would be surrounded by such a venture, and would be com pelled to cooperate. x Success in Russia would en able Hitler to shift to Egypt whatever forces are necessary to drive the British out of the Suez, while our long line of sup plies to that front would pre vent us from equaling his re inforcements. An attack by Japan on Rus sia, in event of her full defeat in the west, must naturally be assumed. Our supplies to Rus sia could possibly be cut by the axis at Murmansk, Persia and Vladivostok, or held to a trickle. SWING TO DEFENSIVE Whether or not the Russian army is able to remain as a fight ing force, Hitler would be ex pected to swing. to the defensive and try to operate his new order through the continents of Eu rope arid Asia, in collaboration with Japan. With enough oil, wheat, tin, ruDDer and other raw materials. he might logically expect to maintain indefinitely a defen sive strategy of warfare until such time as we are able to in vade the continent of Europe and destroy him (a hope which will require greater and greater mustering of power by us as Russia weakens, and each day passes). Anyone who expects the war to be over this year or next year must now begin to take these matters into consideration. If Hitler ever gets full pos session of Europe and Asia, the required scheme of attack upon the United States is obvious. We may be too remote geograph ically and too strong militarily for invasion, but we will cer tainly face a typical Hitler ef fort to promote revolution within. No doubt all nazi cunning will be devoted to promoting subtle disunity and dissatisfaction with our existing form of government On that home front will be an active battle line. For this reason, every mistake of this government which creates dissatisfaction or a sense of in justice among our people is an encouragement to Hitler's Inten tions. WAY TO REVOLUTION Any supposedly patriotic el- forts to promote group antago nism among the neeroes and others is a paving stone on the road of Hitler's purposes. (The communists always thought this was the way to revolution). Any weakening of our will to fight will likewise DreDare the way. The time has come for cau tious, fair and sensible leader ship in every group, in the ad ministration, labor, among farm ers, radicals, conservatives, ne groes, white-collared workers and Hie middle classes. There was never a time in our his tory when group selfishness could be considered more sui cidal or more treasonous to the national welfare. This required doctrine should first be applied to the current grave controversy as to whether our planes and eauinment nre efficient and our fighting offi cers capable.

By KEITH WHEELER (Copyright, 1942, Chicago Times, Inc.) SOMEWHERE IN ALASKA, July 13 (Delayed) There are no absolutes In war, the reason being that about the time a rule becomes well established some inspired idiot happens along and blows it out of the water. Until July 4 it was axiomatic that submarines keep clear of destroyers. Subs could attack merchant vessels, transports, aircraft car ritrs, cruisers, battleships or anything else that floated, ex cept destroyers. Whenever foul fortune put them near one they would hide and pray. There was good reason for this prudence and it wasn't ac cidental. Destroyers are the natural enemies of submarines and every gadget and rivet in a tin can's hull is aimed primarily at the destruction of the enemy's submarines. All a destroyer's speed and nimble maneuverabil ity, its guns, depth charges and sound-gear are contrived to work the death of subs. Bored But on Independence day an American sub skipper in these fog-bound waters grew bored with the rules and blew up three Japanese destroyers in about as many minutes. Within a few hours other American subs finished off two more Jap destroyers and by now, one sup poses, the Tokyo admirals are revising the rule book. (The navy has since an nounced the sinking of three more Jap destroyers in Kiska by submarines.) Everybody in America and in Japan, too, probably knows the to decide whether these techni cal military requirements are being satisfactorily met. No out sider can possibly know who is right in these technical disputes. The responsibility rests solely with Mr. Roosevelt and the top officials of the war and navy departments, War Secretary Stimson, his assistant, Mr. Pat terson, Navy Secretary Knox and his assistants. Only they can know whether we have good weapons and capable offi cers. The charges made by Mr. Lyn don Johnson and others have brought complaints to their at tention. If they do not cut ruth lessly through every string of red tape and eliminate every in efficient or Inadequate person, they will bring nearer to real ization their own words "Wo can lose this war." il P. Coming Tomorrow sTLHIn mm ALSO Don Barry - Helen Maek In 'Calling All Marines" essential facts by now. but It was not until today that a few of the Incredible details found their way out of the cold gray ocpins around lonely Klska The story came from the com mander of submarines In the north Pncific. Being a sub mariner himself and understand ing the nuances of a sub's deadly business, he was full of admira tion. "She has," he said, speaking of the three-for-one submarine, added a glorious page to the record of the submarine service, This operation can be summed up as an opportunity made through the ingenuity, resource fulness and aggressiveness of the commanding officer of the: sub marine." "added a glorious page to the Submarines don't report often and what reports they make are sketchy until they get home, which they do Infrequently. Con sequently It called for some imagination to fill in the rough outlines of what went on, the commanding officer of the north Pacific submarines said. Certain things he knew and these he consented to discuss not without reluctance. The full story, he pointed out, rightfully belonged to the sub skipper, but he didn't know when if ever it could be told. To begin with the sub was on station in the Klska area and proceeding under a general di rective to seek out the enemy and destroy same. The enemy was known to be present with both heavy and light ships, but seeking him out and destroying him was a job of heart-breaking difficulty. First, the Aleutian fogs customarily re duced .visibility to a negative quality and it was possible for a qucstlr.g periscope to pass with in 500 .yards of a ship and miss It. Moreover that part of the Aleutians which lies below the surface is as mountainous as the part above. There are sudden peaks, unsuspected shoals, up thrusting rocks, uncharted cur rents and tremendous depths. These are serious menaces to a vessel whose natural medium is far below the surfaces. War conditions which restrict the uses of radio and many other safety devices further complicate navigation. Lonesome Thought But on July 4 the sub skipper thought over the difficulties, ap parently gave some lonesome thought to celebrations back home, and probably decided oh, the hell with it. "He slnnd In towiirrl Kl'kn harbor, intending to enter the bay and see what the Jnps had there. With great skill and In genuity, using every device at his command, he made his way into the enemy's hiding place," the commander of north Pacific ! B Always 20a H Plus Tsy subs said. Ho didn't specify the nature of "overy device." The fog must have broken for a moment, must have lifted Its bluiikct-llko cover briefly, ho thought. As the sub prowled along the rocky const it en mo ubreaat of a smull vovtt and the skipper found himself looking three ships In the eye. ' At first he couldn't Identify the types but there wasn't uny question about their nationality. Their location was enough to establish that even without the evidence of their characturUtlc tlppcd-iip prows. , U looked as though ho hud sought out the enemy and Ilia skipper turned bow on for the beach to curry out tha rust of his orders. Quick Looks Tliu sub ghosted in. At cau tious intervals the skipper raised the periscope loug enough (or a quick look. Hu was almost within point blunk torpedo range when tha veiling mist broko enough fur him to realizu that hu was staring down the throuts of three new 17U0-ton destroyers. And all three wero riding at unchor, comfortably berthed ami apparently happily content with Uie fog's protection. Within a thousand yards the skipper carefully trimmed his position and fired. The Jolt of ine lorpeaos launching.-! ran through the ship and the crew, the blindest and most blindly faithful of all seagoing men, knew by that that they were in fight. A second shock, deeper and stronger, cumu back io the sub a lew seconos later. Only me skipper at the periscope saw a geyser rise out of the ocean and the destroyer ripped in two by the unsuspected fury of TNT. It went down like a rock whilo progressive smuller explosions tmueu io me lense suo crew. The trio of destroyers was anchored In Echelon and It didn't require much chiiugo of course to bring a tube to bear on tha second. The first ship was still breaking while the stuprfleld crews stared from the others when a tin fish erupted in tho bowels of the second destroyer. Mad Hou By that time the men of the third were giving a fair imita tion of a madhouse. He wished, the north Pacific submarine chief said, that he could have seen It. He thought it must have been balm for a submar iner's soul. The tin can didn't get under way, however, although that's what the commanding officer thought was the Indicated pro cedure for any ship which had suddenly seen two companion vessels mown up in their berths. Somebody made an attempt to fight back at the unseen tor mentor and two torpedoes rock eted , from the tin can's deck tubes and went charging across the cove. They were wild shots and they missed although they passed the submerged sub close enough to be heard. And at about thot moment the sub's third torpedo connected with the last destroyer and the fight was over almost before It had begun. All through the attack .the skipper had been funning head on toward shore and now ha hastened to get himself out of what constituted a tight navl Rational spot. Subs are not nimble and It called for consid erable jockeying to get turned around and head out to sea again.
