What Is Airport Status?
THE Klamath municipal airport is in a peculiar status
at this time. -. ' ,
Bought and originally developed by the city, the air
port in the past two years has benefited from heavy ex
penditures through the civil aeronautics administration,
with the army engineers in charge of the construction.
Recently, the army notified the city it would take the
field over. A contractwas duly drawn and signed by city
officials., and forwarded to .the army. Army officials at
the tirite indicated some action would be taken imme
diately, but several weeks have passed and thus far the
city officials have not received the signed contract from
the army. .
Whether the airport is city-operated or army-operated
at this time seems to be uncertain. City officials say they
have not been informed definitely as to the army's plan.
They .do need to. know, of course, whether the field is
their responsibility now, or somebody else's responsibility.
We .feel, along with most Klamath people, that the
Klamath airport should have ajilace in the defense of
the Pacific coast. At the present time, it is helping in
the war effort, for it is being used extensively for civilian
pilot training under a contract with the government. But
Klamath people feel it should play a greater role in the
defense 'program, and it is disturbing that action with
regard ?tib it is delayed. '
Engelbright Has Opposition
NINEf tefms in congress have given Harry Engelbright,
of the huge northern California district, a reputation
for being practically unbeatable. But in this war year,
when politics generally is quiet, Republican Engelbright
finds -himself in a tough campaign for the nomination
in thef-August primary. What happens is of interest
, here, for' Congressman Engelbright is well known in Klam
ath, and it is of particular interest to our friends iri the
Midland'Empire areas south of the California line. ,
Counties . in Congressman Engelbright's district are
Siskiyou; Modoc, Trinity, Shasta, Lassen, Tehama, Plumas,
Sierra, Nevada, El Dorado, Amador, Inyo, Calveras, Alpine,
Tuolumne, Mariposa and Mono. The district covers 51,850
square miles. But , it is somewhat similar to the .second
district in Oregon; for while it is big it is not populous.
About 220,000 i residents are scattered over the sprawl
ing district. ,
Perhaps thfctmoat formidable candidate to come out
against Veteran'Eirgelbright is R. R. Henderson, 39-year-old
lumber operator of Lone Pine, Inyo county. Henderson
has received, considerable publicity because of his unique
campaign; F He is-spending a-lot of money on the vote
drive, and it is reported that his lumber truck drivers
and other employes have volunteered to help write cam
paign letters. . -.
TheQther candidates are Frank G. Finnegan, a lawyer
of Nevaaa.Cify,: which, is also Engelbright's home, and
Gertrud.y,.' Clark, .a prominent clubwoman and veteran
campaigner.- She lives at Sutter Creek.
Congressman Engelbright, who has often run without
opposition, has' some reason to worry this year. Even so,
it is conceded ?by , California observers he will be tough
to beat. He has taken care of his district for years on a
multitude of issues, and he has worked himself into a
position of power in Washington, where he is the repub
lican whip'. His opponents may undertake to make some
thing of the' fact that he voted against some of the ad
ministration's war measures before Pearl Harbor.
:The rice in. the adjoining district is one of the few
lively snots, in a' dull election year. People over here who
have enjoyed, cooperation of Congressman Engelbright
in various projects of trans-state character will not be
displeased if he is reelected, although, of course, making
the decision: is strictly a California matter.

THENfi
By PaulHvllon
WASHINGTON, July 31 The
British are really making
hash out of German industrial
cities one by one, but exper
ience on this night bombing
front has placed certain definite
limitations on what can be done
with it.
The impatience of certain Am
erican observers at the failure to
develop these grand aerial as
saults faster and -'further, has
cast some reflection on British
efficiency. It is not that.
Tiie British started this super
bombing campaign the night of
May 30-31, with a thousand
plane attack on Cologne. They
went back at Essen and the Ruhr
with a thousand planes two
nights later, but could not dup
licate these attacks again for
nearly three weeks.
They hit Bremen with a thou
sand planes on the night of June
25, and then skipped three
weeks more before marshaling
seven hundred for an attack on
Duisburg, July 13-14. Two weeks
later they put six hundred over
Hamburg cn two successive
nights (dropping 175,000 incend
iaries and using 4000-ton bombs).
Not inefficiency, but insur
mountable obstacles of weather
and operations forced the long
intervals of comparatively quiet
nights when only a few squad
rons were able to indulge in this
new type of warfare.
COLLISION LOSSES
The British found, for in
stance, that their losses from
collisions among their own
planes were greater than from
enemy action, on moonless
nights. This meant they could
efficiently hurl thousand plane
raids at Germany only half of
the month, when the moon per
mitted, and even in that half of
the month only when there were
no heavy clouds or rain to ob
scure vision.
Summer night raiding is fur
ther restricted by the fact that
only four hours of darkness is
to be expected in the latitude of
German Industrial cities (which
are on the latitude of Labrador).
This condition, however, will
improve constantly as winter
draws near, and eases the com
plicated . traffic problems of
putting as many as a thousand
ships into the air over a single
city at different levels and in
consecutive attacking squadrons.
When you figure that the
Germans have hundreds of in
dustrial cities spread all through
Europe, over a much wider area
than the industry of England,
and face all other" practical lim
itations, you will see fully the
difficulty of wiping out Germany
by this means.
It is easy to talk of mustering
the 5000 bombers necessary for
sustained super bombing attacks,
but quite another thing to get a
thousand of them in the air half
the time. .
There is no question about the
damage done when they hit. The
British have accurate reports of
damage done, these having seep
ed out through Switzerland from
the accounts of neutral consuls
(largely Latin-American) in the
German cities which have been
attacked, and from travelers and
German newspapers reaching
neutral ground. No neutral re
port is necessary, however.
Everyone knows the damage
the Germans did in Britain and
they never put into the air more
than 300 planes at night. ' The
nazis leveled Coventry in a few
nights, never using a third as
many bombers as the British can
occasionally put into the air now.
'
"SECOND FRONT"
Thus while this aerial battle
ground, sometimes called the
second front (first in this col
umn) can be accounted a sub
stantial success so far, there are
few who believe it will be able
to take the place of a second
front by land invasion, no mat
ter how greatly it is expanded.
British losses have averaged
slightly less than five per cent,
which makes raiding entirely
successful from that standpoint,
but' It is difficult to believe
super-bombing can do more than
soften Germany for invasion.
The new 4000-lb. bombs, sup
posed to destroy an entire city
block, were first used expert.

FARMERS
URGED
TO TAKE FIRE
FIGHTING STEPS
'The best time to slop a fire
is beforo It atiirts," said J. R,
McCambrldgo, assistant county
agent, in painting out to farm
ers the pressing need for taking
immediate steps toward fire pre
vention. He outlined tho part each
farmer can play in preventing
tragic losses by fire as follows:
1. Remove all hazards such
as weeds grqwing next to build'
ings and fences, leaves aecitmu
lated on roots, and oily rubbish
around garages and p u m p
houses.
2. Check all electrical wiring
to see that there are no uninsu
lated wires exposed or loose
connections where shorts could
develop,
3. Plow a few furrows around
grain fields adjacent to grass
land,
4. Equip house and barn with
fire extinguisher.
i 5. Flit two or three old bar
rels with water and station them,
with buckets, in handy places
near buildings.
6. Keep a ladder handy io
reach roof fires If noccssary.
Cooperation of individual
farmers is absolutely necessary,
McCambrldge said, In order to
ninko effective tho emergency
farm lire protection program in
this area. Under this project,
tile 20 townships In the county
have been divided into 18 dis
tricts. Each district has a fire
chief .assistant fire chief and a
crew of from 10 to 15 men, who
have volunteered their time and
equipment. Their work is di
rected and coordinated by Coun
ty Fire Warden Marlon Barnes.
The volunteer fire chiefs and
their districts are Rex High,
south Poe Velloy; Don Llskcy,
north Poe valley; Glenn Dchl
inger, west Stukel: Lewis Kan-
dra, Merrill; Clarenco Hard, Old
Fort road; Cllve McPherson,
Lower Klamath lake; Harry Wll.

Willis Fearrlen, Swan lake; Mar
tin Stoehslcr, Yonna valley;
George Lewis, Wocus, Algoma
and Shady Pine; Percy Dixon,
Henley. County fire warden Is
Marlon Barnes.
To give emphasis to the need
for constant alertness ond pre
paredness, McCambrldge cited
figures on fire losses compiled
by the National Board of Un
derwriters. For the five years
from 1928 to 1032, tho figures
show a loss to American farms
of $356,193,770 In buildings,
crops, livestock and equipment.
these losses, he said. Include
only those sustained by under
writers, so that If tho figure
were Increased by 25 per cent
it would still be conservative.
Man-Mad Fires
The only one of the common
causes of fire which can't be
prevented by the individual, Mc
Cambrldge pointed out, Is light
ning, The others overheated
chimneys and flues, sparks on
roofs, matches and cigarettes,
petroleum and its products,
stoves, hot ashes, coals and In
cendiarism are all innn-madc
and can bo man-controlled.
"We must remember," Mc
Cambrldge said, "that fire fight
ing consumes manpower so ur
gently needed for war produc
tion; fire destroys buildings and
equipment difficult if not lm
possible to replace;, fire wipes
out in a few minutes the results
of a lifetime of toil and savings.
Ninety per cent of these losses
are due to carelessness ond could
be prevented. Let's each do our
part."
