R( Months On Year it Will take Effort IXLAMATH county's war IX been set at 5242,400, considerably under the heavy July requirement, but war continue here on an intensive quota is reached. This is because most of m the determined campaigns to make previous quotas. Public and organization funds have contributed heavily to the success of the efforts reservoir is just about dry; have to come largely from Harvest returns, which stantially in the war savings program in later months, will not count much in August, because they will not be starting in this month. In other words, the $242,400 will have to come in smaller amounts and from more people. Payroll allot ments, which are steadily stantially. Helpful, also, should be ol the terrific struggle we have on our hands, and a will ingness on the part of our small way open to them. Forestalling A SENSIBLE public program here is being realized this week m the removal of a number of courthouse offices to the remodeled Legion memorial hall at Klamath avenue and Fourth streets, which is now the courthouse annex. For several years, there has been space pressure in the courthouse. There has been talk of new wings and the bond issues that go with that sort of thing. Mean while, the memorial hall, within a few feet of the court house, sat there idle most of the time, with a lot of good space going to waste. Finally, a plan was worked out by the county court and the American Legion to make use of this available space for public offices and a museum, with the Legion and auxiliary continuing also to utilize quarters in the building. All of those who contributed to the effort are to be congratulated. It was an economical expansion that should forestall for a considerable period further efforts to incur an indebtedness for courthouse building purposes. Public officials here would do well to look further for opportunities to make the most efficient use of avail able space. In particular, it would seem that a joint city county jail program could be worked out, forestalling the necessity of constructing an expensive new. city jail building. Cargo Planes and Safety SPEED and safety these are the factors that argue for the development of huge cargo planes to meet America's wartime transportation emergency. It takes about 75 days for a cargo ship to make a round trip to England, five months to and from Archangel, India or the middle east, four months to and from Aus tralia. Airmen assert that a fast air freighter could deliver its cargo in England and be back in a week. Undoubtedly, cargo aircraft losses would occur. But they would not compare with the losses to surface water ships through submarine activities. When a cargo plane goes down, 50 tons of freight and three or four lives would be lost. Compare this with the heavy loss in life and cargo in the sinking of one merchant vessel. There is little dispute about the advantages of freighter planes. The arguments concern the materials and facili ties for building them. If America, can crack these nuts, and it looks as if America is going to have to crack some nuts if it wins this war, cargo planes may play a. tre mendous part in eventual triumph.

Advertise fn the e!.lf!eJ, Behi ND2S3 thlvNe! By PaulMallon Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 Mr. Russell Davenport, editorial of fices, Life Magazine, New York City. Dear Mr. Davenport: You asked me, and some other Washington correspondents, to express an opinion on the prog ress of the U. S. war effort, and to suggest concrete steps to im prove it. The question, as you put it, is: "H you were president, what would you do, immediately, to improve the war effort and make more certain of victory?" Let's get it straight at the start that what I would do must not be construed as leveling charges at Mr. Roosevelt and the government. Perhaps we were so complete ly unprepared, before we were plunged into this war, that it would have been physically im possible for us to accomplish much more than we have. No one has proved our gov ernment has not in general done a good job. Only the govern ment itself can know all the facts, because It censors the re sults of its efforts. The situa tion is that we are impatient be cause we cannot see better results. MALLON'S IDEAS But I do not mind telling you what I would do: I would switch this country from the defensive, the "wait- awhile" attitude, into an aggres sive offensive fighting spirit at once. I would start doing this by selecting only strong and aggres sive personalities for every phase of government activity, civilian as well as military. I would shake all others out. 1 would choose men impatient to get at the enemy, men who think courageous and daring things can be accomplished, not foolhardy daredevils, but thorough, cool men of scientific action the type of Doolittle, Admiral Byrd, yea and even Lindbergh, if I could find any thing for him better to do than advising Henry Ford. I would bring the army and navy up on their toes and keep them there by entirely dissipat ing the old school tie atmosphere of easy camaraderie, indecision and compromise. I would get the most imagina tive military minds together and ask them for their individual plans for attack not a com promise reached by the general staff. I would back the plans which had the element of daring and a corresponding chance of success. I might decide, for instance. that two spots were the places to hit, the Aleutians in the Pacific for Invasion of Japan and the north African continent for in vasion of Europe through Italy. I would in that case call in forces from every other spot and throw everything I had into these two. And I would get a man to lead those attacks who was enthusiastic and confident that they would win. STOP DIPLOMACY I would not care whether Ar gentina liked me, or Britain or Russia. I would stop diplomacy, and go out to win the war. I would fire any official who speaks of post-war problems, and would put my thinkers to the single Job of generating new ideas as to how to win first. I would employ a group of my own technical experts on wea pons and satisfy myself that the army and navy are providing the best possible. I would send Representative Lyndon Johnson over to the air corps with his charges that many of our planes were inefficient in the Pacific and I would insist on getting the matter threshed out at once. I would put fight into civilian activity by every means I could command, including bands and bunting. I would take every coast-wise ship away from sugar trade and bananas, and use these ships In aggressive war action to support an attack. I would expect the people to go entirely iI;HIiIHmI1i Af George Murphy ft John Borrymore yjm I Hold That Co-Ed Second si I "HELL'S J WMMtm W fl m u,i mtwt mm- v "-- mi CPU. 1W IV MA MUVtCt. 1KC T, M. KQ. U. . "She's my ideal! I'm going to enlist and bomb Yokohama or some place then they'll send me' on furlough to Holly wood and I'll meet herl" without sugar if it was neces sary. DEMOCRATIC WAY But I would make speeches to them regularly and take them into my confidence on my prob lems and on what I expected from them. I would consider them my willing aides, but I would appeal to tiiem in a demo cratic way, rather than pursue the Hitler tactics of regimenta tion. I would practice democracy to the fullest possible extent. I would expect patriotic coopera tion on a voluntary basis and take nothing else. I would let citizens themselves make Sunday drivers or wasters at the dining table or in business life, very unpopular. I would cut down or out, all these cards for rationing and get more conservation by democratic enthusiasm. I would choose a man to handle the rubber and gas situations who believes rub ber tires and gas can be pro duced. I would not countenance nega tive leadership any where in my government. I would have frozen prices and wages six months ago. In short, I would get tough. I would put some fight into this thing everywhere by activo stim ulation and assertive democratic leadership. I would get off the defensive, in Washington, in the country, on the high seas, every where, and stay that way. Yours Sincerely, PAUL MALLON.
