They are reported in to day's dispatches to be hastening preparations for winter else where, compelling inhabitants of the occupied Russian towns to hand over warm clothing for the German armies. It is possible that they may have based their winter plans on use of Stalingrad, battered and wrecked as it is, for a winter base. Even so, it would be bet ter than the open steppes. The historic specter of the Russian winter, with Napoleon's debacle in mind, must be a dis turbing one for Hitler. - nrHE British bomb Genoa (Italy) heavily. Genoa is a naval base, and also an embar kation port for Africa. There have been hints of a new axis drive in the Mediterranean area. Bombing of Genoa is probably designed to disrupt supplies for Rommel. ""THERE Is tension in France as the xero hour for Hitler's con scription of French labor ap proaches. There are hints that the Vichy government may final ly be considering removal to Africa. Through all the news today, as for days past, runs the thread of expectancy of big events In the making. ON TO DEFENSIVE (Continued From Page One): by special troops, such as elec tricians and engineers. The fighting remained violent, however, with both artillery and tanks bolstering lighter weapons. Pravda said an Infantry regi ment supported by 60 tanks struck at soviet lines on the ap proaches to an important com munity, and under cover of a barrage, more than a company broke through. But this van guard was declared extermi nated. - Snipers' were reported active on many sections of the German Russian battle line. Four red army riflemen have picked off respectively 328, 302, 241 and 206 of the enemy on the Kalinin front, dispatches said. Two Len ingrad snipers were credited with killing 302 and 237 Ger mans.

County Trucks To Pick Up Scrap At Fort Klamath Klamath county trucks - will pick up more than 15 tons of scrap metal at Fort Klamath Sunday, County Court Judge U. E. Reeder said today.

Senator Johnson (R-Calif.) told his colleagues today he was opposed to "calling of children to fight our battles" in the first open senate opposition to legis lation for drafting 18 and 19-year-olds. The white-haired Californlan, a pre-Pearl Harbor opponent of the administration's foreignpoll cles, declared that passage of the legislation meant that many chil dren were going to be sent to death in foreign parts of the world. Asserting that no man wanted more to win the war than he, Johnson said he could not stand idly by and see a generation dec imated. 1 He had no doubt, he said, that the 18 and 19-year-olds were ready to fight. "Of course, they are willing to do anything," he declared. "Of course they are willing to fight at the drop of the hat. They are adventuresome and dare-devilish. "That is the very reason we should throw out protective hands about them." Chief among other amend ments was one to keep 18 and 19-year-old men out of combat troops until they have had six months or a year of training.

OREGON Transportation Troubles May Mean Treeless Holiday By DAN MARSTON SEATTLE, Oct. 23 (.T) Christmas may be a celebration with fewer of those brightly lighted, present-strewn Christ nips trees in the nation's homes this year. The trim evergreens are as plentiful as ever in Pacific northwest forests and the na tion's buyers as anxious to get them. But transportation diffi culties, shortages of cutlers and E TO BUY ALL DOUGLAS FIR WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 () Douglas fir lumber produced from timber grown on the west ern side of the Cascade range henceforth must be sold to the single procuring agency desig nated by the government, the war production board has or dered. Accompanying the order, which was Issued yesterday, was a statement that the WPB re gards Douglas fir lumber as "the most critical species of lum ber in the United States for war purposes." At Seattle, Col. W. B. Gree ley, secretary-manager of the West Coast Lumbermen's associ ation, said the order was a fur ther step to "freeze" all Doug las fir production above the low est commercial grade under con trol of the lumber procurement office of the corps of engineers, at Portland. He said the order would be come effective October 29. It applies to all Douglas fir over the grade of No. 3, the lowest commercial grade. Other lum ber such as red cedar, spruce and hemlock remains under the present system of priorities. War requirements now take more than 90 per cent of the en tire west coast lumber produc tion and mills now have more than one billion feet of unfilled orders, he said. "Despite a la bor shortage which has reached 25 per cent, a log shortage In some operations and lesser operating-equipment, the industry has maintained production thus far this year approximately three per cent . over the same period last year. Tire Program To Be Announced November 15 (Continued From Page One) when new tire sales were frozen. Under the program any mo torist complying with the rules essential to obtaining an "A" gasoline rationing card would be able to obtain a replacement tire by proving need. The au thorization would come through his rationing board, which would determine whether he should receive a re-capped tire, one of the new reclaimed rub ber or "victory" casings, or a pre-war grade A tire. A feature of the program, however, will, be the premise that any motorist entitled to an "A" gasoline rationing card will be eligible for some kind of serviceable replacement tire when his need arises.

Milburn, regional manager of a large Christmas tree concern, said today. "Last year we sent out 845 carloads from the north west states and British Colum bia. "We have as many orders this year, for our salesmen start work right after New Yenrs and by the first of July at least 09 per cent of our sales lire made, But this year probably we won't bo able to movo as many." Army posts,, however, have their orders In and navy requests for trees-will also undoubtedly bo filled. Milburn conferred this week with office of defense transpor tation officials to receive instruc tions on how many trees he may handle. Later, O. T. Kenney, assistant director of rail termi nals for the ODT in this area, said every effort would be made to move as many trees this year as last. With better shipping ar rangements, he said, fewer cars may bo required this year. "It's part of our sacrifice to help the war effort and we're glad to make it," Milburn said. "But back in the prairie country I wonder what people will do. Maybe thoy'll have to use bushes or corn stalks."

If the 363rd becomes "Klam ath's own" this community will be expected to furnish 15 day rooms with radios, magazines and other articles, the committee was Informed.

FUR COFFEE By OABETH MACHMOBE NEW YORK. Oct. 23 (AI The widespread coffee scarcity had processers hunting today for substitutes with almost the frenzy of a housewife haunting the stores for a pound of cof fee. You may be asked to mix a little toasted bran with your coffee to make It go farther, but roasters hope It won't be necessary. They're trying to find a good substitute, or "extender," Just in case, SubttltutM Aa talk of rationing Increas ed one big dealer suggested every other sugar coupon be good also for coffee until for mal rationing books could be issued. Tho shortage was call ed partly "temporary" and roasters talked of a probable in crease In supplies. Among the various substitutes tested were some which could be sold separately. Then the housewife could mix her own and try to suit her family's taste. Oliver J. Corbett, secretary of the National Retail Tea and Coffee Merchants association, said in Chicago many packers were trying coffee compounds containing as much as 25 per cent rye, malt, Mexican chick peas, soy beans, barley or other cereal. Syrup Tested Corbett said such adulteration was legal If correctly described on each package. The office of price adminis tration In Chicago and Boston was Investigating complaints of Inferior or adulterated coffeo being sold without such label ing. A coffee export In New York said another exerlmont was "coffee syrup'" which ho said might provo to retain some of the aroma lost In the roasting and grinding process. Coffee , Importers, however, optimistically cited reports that coffee shipments to this country probably - would increase soon with a decline In Atlantic ship sinkings and a potential In crease In the number of ships available.
