In all probability their leaders, who attempt the manipulation of the emotions not only of their followers but the general public, count the Klamath talis convention as highly successful. They got the crowds. They got the excitement They ?ot the publicity. They no doubt feel it was all worth the ew sore heads and black eyes, the burned pamphlets and banners, and the overturned cars. That kind of thing ha helped Jehovah's Witnesses grow. They succeeded in creating, in this strongly patriotic American community, a situation where law and order was momentarily - suspended, but fortunately restored when better judgment and restraint got the upper hand, That nothing more serious happened is a matter of satis faction to this community; it is probably a measure of disappointment for the leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses. In this period of stress, when hundreds of the young men of this community are fighting or preparing to fight the. battle for the very things that make it possible for Jehovah's Witnesses to exist openly as an organization, it i easy to understand the bitter resentment which their activities engender. There is no reason to waste sympathy en Jehovah's Witnesses, although neither authorities nor yablic opinion can condone civilian violence they invite Dy tneir activities.. , Federal authorities have asked that there be no vigi Inteism, no taking the law in our own hands, in the effort to weed out seditious and un-Amencanism in the war period. It is to be presumed that the federal authorities know about Jehovah's Witnesses, that they have investi gated or are investigating the activities and teachings of Wis sect wnicn many people believe to be un-American. The question is one which must be handled by the federal authorities. Those who possess evidence bearing upon :it noma piace it in trie nands ot .these authorities. The rights of freedom of speech, press, and assembly, -men are cieany aenned in tne constitution, become in tolved in this situation. They no doubt sulde the federal : authorities, and they should be recognized by all of us m our consideration or this sect. These are precious rights, the rights we fight for, which must be preserved for any obnoxious minority (so long as it is lawful) ss well as for all deserving citizens. They do not prohibit verbal con demnation of Jehovah's Witnesses or any other sect, nor prosecution, tnrougn legal methods, of those who are traitorous or seditious. It is to be hoped Sundav's incident serve a cnnrl nnr. Jose in relieving the pressure that was engendered by ehovah's Witness activities here in the past few weeks. u these people persist, and the federal government finds it impossible to do anything about it, a good job of ignor ing them, would probably be the most effective treatment to be administered by the good citizens of such commun ities as ours.

By &ULMALLON mum a...KMlial TJMSHrNGTON, Sept 31 Hit- ler skimmed the last of the cream of his military strength for the conquest of Stalingrad what he produced there, there fore, offers a worthwhile estt mate ot what power he haj left, He used about 800,000 men in the drive. The Russian press sometimes thought the reds were mmwwumikimm ttelna a million but their latest count would be around half that sum. These were not used all at the same time. Flying wedges of about 79,000 troops manned the front attack' Paul Mellon ing lines. They were withdrawn every few days for a rest and another 79,000 replaced them. Not more than a million nail troops are strung along the vast expanses of the rest of the front line, from the Arctic to the Cau casus. The best troops were, of course, called into the Stalin grad front and the million hold ing the other sections of the line represent what was left, some being newly trained, some Italians, Rumanians, and Finns, who have been practicing for months under German super vision. About 400,000 Italian trooDS nave Deen re-tralned by the Germans. Yet these are still about the orst of the lot. The Finns and Rumanians are much more highly regarded. senina mis iront line are about a million men in what might be called the third class troops, the reserves to relieve the front lines. HOT THE SAME On the only other nazl fiaht- ing line, in Libya, Rommel has never had more than 100.000. including Italians, although pub- usnea reports ol his strength sometimes exaggerated this fig ure Dy au per cent or more. So you see the total German muitary machine now in this third year of the war. Is not the same vast efficient striking iorce wnicn went spinning through- Poland. Beleium. Hoi- land and France. In actual fighting cower, it seems to number only a little over z,300,000. of wh ch the 500,000 facing Stalineiad can still be classified as the crack troops (and these have been ra pidly used up). While the nazls ntlll talk about their 'army of 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 men. about th. fourths of this vaunted streneth represents fourth-clan frnnni doing police duty in occupied re gions. . mis juurtn class includes many soldiers who .have recov wounaj. the verv juuiig, me untrained, and the over-age.

Hitler dueed about 1900 planes, repre senting practically all hl r. maining air striking power. It is still a good air force, but far from the 5000 planes Goering used to brag about. Shortage of pilots, an well materials, British bomhino. anH sabotage, probably has out Hit lers air-arm to, this extent. Pilots cannot be made in a day, or a year, and the training which gave the original air force a superior efficiency will never be possible ' again during this war.

But they show that the war is not necessarily being lost By us on that front. They re move cause for discouragement V NOT WHAT IT WAS The British have been put ting out a sentence or two every night about German bombing raids on Britain, finally announc ing a few days back that 400 civilians had been killed in the last month during these raids. These nightly naii forays seem to have no military objec tive. They are not aimed at in dustrial centers or munitions works and, apparently, have no continuing plan. About 19 or 20 German bomb ers come over and hit a town, generally a point near the coast. For a while they concentrated on cathedral cities and those of purely historical value. Most of the British 400 casualties were suffered in one town one night The Germans are merely fee bly and blindly punching at non- military British objectives to keep as many British planes as possible at home at night and away from continental raids. The weakness of the effort is a further evidence that German striking power is not what it was. It may be different this win ter when Hitler can use what is left of those 1500 planes from Stalingrad for night attacks on Britain.

Sept. 21 CP) The state department of agriculture said today it would permit the use of old bottle caps for bottled beverages, if the caps are steri lized properly. This will be per mitted only for the duration of the war. Plants which intend to use the old caps must first notify the de partment so it can arrange for inspections. Crown caps which are reused must have new Inserts. It isn't what father plunks down for a harp for his daugh ter it's the plunking ever after. Hurry! See It i NOW ! MAN WANTED!' (JW-ROMANCE!
