Newsplciure Situcion
NEWSPAPER readers as picture-conscious as those of
this community will be interested in knowing that a
problem of zinc supply is now affecting the newspicture
situation. There is still some confusion over the matter,
bu,t. for. the time being at least some restriction is neces
sary, on the number of local newspictures which can be
carried in this and other papers.
Zinc is the metal used in the making of engravings
or "cuts." Air local pictures require local consumption
nf this metal. Pictures which are received from the out
side services and appear in this newspaper originally re
quired use of zinc, but their use by this newspaper does
not affect the consumption of zinc in this plant. Hence
this newspaper can make more generous use of these gen
eral newspictures than local pictures, at least until the
sine situation is straightened out.
Limitations on the use of zinc have been imposed by
the war production board." It is indicated that reconsider
ation is being given to an original order which would
have drastically reduced picture use. Fortunately, it is
possible to reclaim a large percentage of the zinc used
for picture production. It is to be hoped that some plan
may be worked out whereby the reclaiming of zmc will
be recognized in the supply situation and newspapers
will be permitted to use an adequate run of pictures
which not only help tell the general news story but per
form a distinct contribution to the war effort locally,
v Pictures, for instance, have been used generously in
this newspaper in support, of the war savings drive, re
cruiting for the armed service, civilian defense, troop
entertainment, recognition of the service men from this
community,- and so on.
i Whatever the final restrictions are they will be cheer
fully complied with by this newspaper. In the mean
time, local picture use will be somewhat restricted, a
necessity which we hope will be understood by the public
here, which obviously likes local newspictures.

Al 'vt,ne impatiently

It was not like Midway or the
uorai sea, a battle which term
inated when the action was over,
but a hard, daring, costly, suc
cessful opening engagement.
. The details, if officially told,
would let the Japs know Just
about where and how it will be
continued.
My own personal guess, how
ever, is that the next big stop
will be' Rabaul, the center of
all Jap bases in the southwest-

Our Industry in Peril
LOSS of the Peterson-Johnson, mill by fire directs at
tention to the vital importance of giving local industry
every possible protection.
f No longer is it a simple matter to start a rebuilding
program after a disaster of this sort. Material and ma
chinery are at .a premium, and governed by strict govern
ment prioritiesLvThere is a serious nossibilitv that a lum
ber mill, if it is destroyed, cannot be reconstructed at
this time.
' This is a matter of extreme imnortance to this com.
inunity. We must not lose our mills, which are not only
a vital tactor in economic . life here, but are doing an
essential job for the war effort This was one of the
major reasons why Klamath Falls people this spring
authorized an additional expenditure for fire department
eyuipinenia enon.wnicn, temporarily at least, has been
cancelled bygovernment refusal to authorize the pur
chase of the equipment.
;i Every possible community effort should be devoted
to helping in the protection of our industries from fire,
and in case of destruction, to assist in getting justifiable
priorities ior reconstruction. There must be a determined
fight against individual carelessness which can lead to
disaster in plant. or woods. We are now in a most dan
gerous season.

Operation of the General Cable

2:B2 p. m. (Eastern war time)

SKILLFUL
Also, from the cautious com
muniques and other verified
reports of the last 13 days, a
broad, general picture of what
happened, may now be present
ed without divulging any mili
tary Information.
Skillful, deceptive American
propaganda enabled the blow to
be struck with devastating sur
prise.
While the Invasion force of
protective cruisers, destroyers
and submarines (huddled around
our transports) was steaming
secretly toward the TulaEi area.
the reports from General Mac-
Arthur s Australian headquar
ters were loudly, and almost
savagely, bewailing the fact he
had no cargo ships available
with which to start an offensive.
He was pictured as tearing out
his hair because Washington
would give him no power.
This planned trick led Tokyo
to expect anything except what
happened.
The invasion, force already
had arrived at appointed land
ing places, and was. actually dis
embarking ' marines, as well as
other American and Australian
forces, before the Japs knew
wnat was up.. Their story, and
the one from Berlin, that a Jap
submarine detected our armada
steaming toward its objective
August 5, the day before the
landings, and blasted it to pieces
m a storm with land - based
planes, are obvious phonies.

Bruce McDonell, state bureau

indicating that action would be

SEA ENGAGEMENT
There was no major air or sea
engagement until the night bat
tle of August 8-9, the very bitter
and heavy engagement, in which
our losses were considerable
far less than the 41 ships claim-
ed by the Japs, but yet more
than the official concession here
so far of one cruiser sunk and
five ships damaged.
This night battle will be
shown as one of the most dram
atic naval engagements in all
history, when the details are
divulged. Jap cruisers and sub
marines, having learned of the
landings, which were started
twelve hours or more earlier,
dashed for the disembarkation
points, in an effort to wreck our
transports, which were then
still landing troops. They never
reached their destination.
Our naval forces intercepted
them off some distance from the
transports, and there followed
such a melee of fighting men-of-war
in darkness as has never
been fought before.
The Japs said the action was
so closely fought that one of our
cruisers actually ran into one of
theirs, in the darkness. It could
be.
We have admitted only "close
range fighting," which brings a
vivid scene of dozens of crui
sers, destroyers and submarines
on both sides, groping around in
darkness, without any assistance
from airplanes, flashing on their
searchlights at the slightest
sight of dark objects, and then
letting go whole broadsides at
point blank range. Whoever
fired first was the winner.
Losses naturally were very
heavy on our side and theirs, but
what counts is the indisputable
fact that since that night, 12
days ago, not a sign of a Jap
surface ship was seen in those
waters.
We got the Solomons. They
retreated. No apology for our
losses therefore seems warranted
even if they came anywhere
near the Jap claims.
No mention has been made In
any communiques about air
fields In that vicinity. There is
supposed to be one on the Brit-
ifh golf courses atTuIagi, and an
other one good enough for bomb
ers on Guadacanal.
Truth Is, the Japs had many
small fields strewn around, not
oniy in Guadacanal and the
Florida islands, but particularly

MacARTHUR HELPED
oparseness of news for the
past ten days can be attributed.
no doubt, to the fact the marines
and other forces are cleaning out
ine Japs from the mountains and
jungles in areas already occu
pied, and extending their con
quest island by island. They
probably already have moved
land-based planes in with them.
and when these are once estab
lished, they will be prepared to
move on to the next spots, bet
ter prepared with bombing
power ana plane protection.
MacArtnur aided our sea and
land forces in the area, not only
with his publicity trick, but by
aaiiy nurllng his bombers at Ra
baul, far to the northwest in
New Britain island. At this
main Jap base he hit the air
drome and sunk at least two
15,000-ton ships and several
smaller ones, thereby preventing
the Japs from aiding their de-
leaied comrades in the Tulagl
area (as is proved by the fact
none of their surface ships have
been around since August 9.)
This is the end of the winter
season in that tropical clime,
and the whole action has been
carried on during constant thun
der storms and heavy rains,
which hindered operations and
obscured the results.
These natural hindrances,
plus the necessities of official
silence, and grotesque Tokyo
exaggerations, cannot, however,
obscure the fact that the open
ing of our Pacific offensive was
a grand American achievement.
