KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON September t, 114 2 PAGE TWO SECOND FRONT TALK GROWS LEADERS (Continued from Page One) Turkey, on hit mission as Presi dent Roosevelt's special emis sary. "He attacked the allied posi tions and had 100 of his 290 first line tanks knocked out by allied forces in the first battle. I saw the ruins of these tanks myself. "I am convinced that Rommel (Axis Field Marshal Erwin Rom mel) has lost 40 per cent of his punch." Decision Mad Allied capitals rang anew with second-front speculation in the wake of President Roose velt's broadcast last night, in which the chief executive dis closed that vital military deci sions had already been made and declared: "In due time, you will know what these decisions are and so will our enemies. I can say now that all of these rtpriciens are directed toward taking the offensive. By implication, Mr. Roosevelt revealed that at least 528,000 American troops have already been sent overseas, or more than three times the number sent to France in the first nine months of the 1911-18 World war. Reds Dissatisfied The rising, tempo of allied offensive preparations was also indicated by Prime Minister Churchill, who told parliament in London that suggestions for the establishment of a supreme allied war council and for uni fied control of British land, sea and air forces were "of consid erable interest." Churchill described, the Dieppe super - Commando raid as "an indispensable prelimin ary to full-scale, operations." Commenting on his talks with Premier. Stalin in Moscow, Churchill acknowledged that fiii Ausaittus do not think we or the Americans have done enough so far to take the weight off them."

The war time observance of the holiday, in addition to main taining the flow of production, paid dividends in the number of lives saved attendant to the traditional celebrations normal ly staged throughout the nation. The violent death toll for the three-day holiday, an Associated (Continued from Page One) rearguards had put "more sting in the axis tall." Back-Tracked But the bulk of the tank and infantry forces with which Rommel launched his drive had back-tracked to an area within a few miles of their jumping off point. Allied planes, British light tanks, armored cars and mobile guns maintained their pressure. v i Whether the British hoped, to gain sufficient momentum to begin a real counter-offensive was a question. Defensive power was Illus trated by the wreckage of axis tanks and trucks strewn across the battlefield. Rommel was re ported to have told his troops just eight days- ago that "we'll be in Cairo next week." New Jap Thrust Launched Toward Port Moresby (Continued from Page One) said the enemy had pushed ba,ck allied vanguards in the Kokoda sector and reached the Myola region, 6000 feet above sea level, atutxt iabt wilf? 5Vh ? K?- koda and below the gap leading through the mountains. "In a series of frontal attacks, combined with envelopment, the enemy has made advances forc ing back our troops in forward areas and Is now in contact with our defense positions," Gen. MacArthur's headquarters said. The communique" indicated that a battle in the clouds was developing 5000 feet above the former Kokoda battle region, with the Japanese pushing for ward to storm the allied-held mountain pass. Allied planes flying over the lotty range were reported dive bombing 'and machine-gunning Japanese supply lines and troops, setting fires among en emy huts. In the Solomons, the .navy "re ported, American land and air forces were blasting away at scattered Japanese, attempting to regain lost footholds in the strategic islands. The navy said U. S. planes bombed and strafed fleets of en emy small boats, destroying many of them and causing "liei,vy loss of life." While the Japanese probably succeeded in landing some rein forcements, the navy said U. S. marines were "continuing to search out and dispose" of iso lated forces which had fled to the mountains and jungles after American occupation. As a single instance of the havoc inflicted, the navy said a U. S. air patrol discovered an enemy attempt to land on Sat urday near the west end of Guad alcanal island sank three land ins boats, damaged others and "killed a large number of troops." American forces have con tinued to land fresh supplies and reinforcements for the marines who captured the Guadalcanal Tulagi area Aug. 7, the navy an nounced. Read The Classified Page Press survey showed, was con siderably smaller compared to the total for the weekend holi day last Labor day. Especially was there a marked reduction in the number of traffic fatali ties, always the leader in holi day death tolls. The number of violent deaths in the 1941 Labor day holiday period was 626, Including 423 killed in automobile accidents. This year's survey disclosed a total of 286 violent deaths.

Previously the commission had depended on voluntary ap pliance with Its directives but it was disclosed that the new order will be enforced through the power of government pro curement agencies to approve or disapprove payrolls of plants producing war materials. Euential Jobs Manpower sources recently disclosed that war service legis lation was being prepared, un der direction of McNutt, which would give the government power to keep or assign work men to vital war jobs. It 'was understood commission mem bers were convinced that total mobilization of the nation's adult work resources could not be accomplished by voluntary compliance alone. A commission official, who asked that his name not be used directly, explained that the pro curement agencies, principally the war and navy departments and maritime commission, could disapprove payrolls of firms us ing workmen deemed by the commission to be improperly employed, and thereby keep the workers at jobs that the com mission considered most essen tial. Critical Labor Area It was not certain, however, how. closely the procurement agencies would be. bound to comply with McNutt's directives relative" to payroll approvals or disapprovals. The commission "spokesman said that effectiveness still would be largely dependent on "patriotic response" to such orders. States in the "critical labor area" are Arizona. Colorado, Idaho, Montana. Utah, Wyom ing, California. Nevada. Oreoon, Washington, New Mexico and Texas. OF STALirjGRAD HOLD (Continued from Page One) it said. "The , enemy left six tanks disabled on the battle field and more than 200 officers and men killed." While Field Marshal Fedor von Bock thus resorted to cost ly - frontal assault tactics, the army newspaper Red Star de clared the tempo of attacks southwest of the city had been stepped up.
