A Plan Develops
THE American offensive in Africa has transformed the
I attitude of Americans toward the war. It has ended
a feelinjr of uncertainty as to where we were going in
the struggle with Hitler. It gives the people a conviction
that the Allies do have a plan, and a good plan. Coupled
with the British defeat of Rommel in Egypt and the rug
ged resistance of the Russians on the eastern front, it is
the best news of the war. The wise will realize that the
project ahead is not a pushover. But it must not fail.
If the Axis can be put out of Africa, the way will be
open for more effective help for the Russians and for a
direct attack on Axis strongholds on the European eon-tinent.
Herr Hitler and his satellites are reportedly in ses
sion today to decide what they can do to parry the new
blow. That its enormous potentialities are realized by
Hitler, who is plenty smart, was disclosed by his promise
in a speech this week that he would not flee Germany
if the war gets difficult
What suggestion was there that he would flee Ger
many, requiring reassurance on this point? Hitler has
said, in effect, that there is a chance the war WILL get
difficult, and that at least some of the German people
distrust his willingness to stay and take it with them.
Learn About Rationing
POSTPONEMENT of registration for mileage rationing
from this week to next week gives motorists more
time to find out what this program is all about.- In spite
of reams of publicity on the subject, there still is con
fusion and plain ignorance concerning it. It is a patriotic
duty to learn the facts on this matter, and to act promptly
and efficiently as individuals in connection with the
rationing program.
The registration is now set at November 18 to 20.
Those are the days on which people will go to school
houses to obtain ration books. Prior to that time, motoiv
lsts with passenger cars should do these two things:
1. Obtain an application form for "A" ration book
from garages, service station or rationing board offices.
2. Turn in at the Railway Express office here all pas-
genger car tires in excess of five for each car and one
lor each trailer wheel.
This procedure is simple enough, but it should not be
delayed until the last minute. After obtaining the appli
cation, the passenger car operator should fill it out with
all the required information, and he will then be ready
to apply at his schoolhouse registration place November
18 to ZO. .
First application will be made only for an A basic
ration book. If the applicant thinks he should have more
gasoline than allowed by the A book, he may obtain an
application for additional gas rations at the time of reg
istration. He will fill this out and mail it to the ration
ing board.
In the vast majority of cases, the thing to do is to
try to get along on the basic A ration. That will be acting
m tne spirit oi tne wnoie ettort. it a motorist then finds
that essential driving requires more gasoline than tier-
mitted under the A ration, he may then apply for a more
liberal supply.
All of this information, and more, will be published
from time to time before the registration. period. This
program requires that all automobile owners inform them.
selves and cooperate, benefiting themselves and their
country.

How Censorship Works
Editor's NoU: Herewith is the first of series ot articles
explaining the voluntary censorship undertaken In war time
by the newspapers and broadcasters ot tht United States.
WHY IS CERTAIN NEWS WITHHELD
Some of the news is not published In newspapers nor broad
cast by radio stations in these critical times. The reason is that
editors and broadcasters are cooperating with the Government to
deprive the enemy of certain information which would help him
to kill Americans.
A Code of Wartime Practices for press and radio was drawn
up by the Office of Censorship last January and has undergone
revision irora lime to time in the light or experience. The pre
amble of the Code puta It this way:
It la essenUal that certain basic facta be understood. The first
of these facts is that the outcome of the war is a matter of vital
personal concern to the future of every American Citizen. The
second is that the security of our armed forces and even of our
homes and our liberties will be weakened in greater or less de
gree by every disclosure of information which will help the
enemy.
The Code suggests that editor and- broadcasters act as their
own censors, applying the dictate of common sense. It Is recom
mended that they ask themselves "I this Information I would
like to have if I were the enemy? and then act accordingly.
The Code list certain classes of Information which would be
of obvious value in enemy hands. It does not deal with editorial
opinion, or criticism ot the Government, but is confined solely to
the distribution of information.

Our Sports Editors
TWO sports editors have gone from the editorial depart
ment of this newspaper to the armed services. Bill
uummmgs (Pelican Bill to you) is now a lieutenant and
pilot at Mather field. He was succeeded on the snorts

troops where a skier of his ability belongs. Wes Guderian,
photographer and engraver, is handling the sports desk
as an aaaeci tasK ana some or the rest of us are pitch

The first actual sports editor on this newspaper was
Joe Pigney, who was succeeded by Asahel Bush, both

With Klamath's Pelicans and Bend's Lava Bears sched
uled to play a football game on Modoc Field Wednesday,
it may be noted that not much has been said recently in
the argument about the relative merits of Klamath and
Deschutes potatoes. The reason, of course, is that there
is nothing to argue about, the superiority of the Klamath
spud having been long recognized. We'll leave it to the
Pelicans to prove the superiority of Klamath football on
Modoc field Wednesday.
Among the members of the 1943 house of represen
tatives in the state legislature, Klamath county's Henry
Semon is tied with V. B. Staples of Ontario for longest
consecutive service. Both men served in the 1933, 1935,
1937, 1939 and 1941 legislatures. Harvey Wells of Port
i?n?r hjJ.8.served sevel terms, but not consecutively, and
H. H. Clundgren, Molalla, has served five terms, not con
secutively. Harry D. Boivin of Klamath county served in
four sessions, consecutively.

J. S. Diller of the U. S. geologi
cal survey, states in a paper on
crater lake, center ot new na
tional park, that the walls of the
caldera enclosing the lake are
made up of alternating sheets of
lava, dipping away from the
lake practically in all directions,
and they are so porous as to pro
vide easy passage for much
water. Springs on the mountain
are abundant and remarkable in
size, especially on the southeast,
aiong a fault on the mountain
side, which probably affords an
outlet for much of the water that
percolates through tha rim.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10
new try at voluntary man
agement of the manpower prob
leminstead of compulsion has
been In the making among In
terested officials the past several
days. The election result Is
pushing It along.
Compulsion is not likely to be
tried until next year, and only
If the new meth
od falls. Labor
Is supposed to
have a promise
to that effect
In its advance
stages, the new
program would
call for a single-
headed govern
ment control of
both army draft-
Paul Mallort ing and indus
trial employment, .under a new
commission or manpoweror Paul
McNutt.
One agency would decide who
is to go into the army and who
is to work. Enlistments would
be stopped.
The control would function on
a system which has been tried
in the aircraft industry. Work-
era would be placed in ten classi
fications, and shifted as the
nee'ds of Industry are made
known.
A vast training system to bring
new workers Into the field (par
ticularly women) would be spon
sored. A worker would have
to get a certificate from the em
ployment service in order to
take a job.
Tha reasons for trying this
approach are set forth officially
in the survey of current business
of the commerce department for
October.

number over 2,000,000 and about
half of these will be available
the other half being unemploy
able. There are also 12,000,000
farm women without small chil
dren, and 2,000,000 students over
18, could be used for farm work
The survey concludes that
manpower Is a localized difficul
ty in war industry centers and
on farms, and that the main
problem is to get these above-
mentioned available workers to
those points and provide proper
housing.
ROMMEL SMELLED TROUBLE
The turn of the tide of the
war in Africa and Europe these
past lew weens is piain on us
face, but the inner portent of
the developments goes further
and brings the end within sight
for tha first time.
The British-American drive to
roll up Rommel was no surprise,
Tha crafty nazi general well
knew of tha accumulation . of
British superiority in planes,
tanks and men. His scouts had
observed It for weeks.
That was why he was In Ber
lin just before the attack broke.
He was trying to get reinforce
ments, and these were not to be
obtained.
Since the end of June, Rommel
has known he would be faced
with heavy superiority in the
air. He has been able to get
along without plane superiority
before, by adroit use of his tanks,
but this time his oil supplies
were low. His gasoline dumps
were thoroughly destroyed by
our planes In the opening phases
of the attack-
Thus he had tha time to make
himself ready, on the shortest
easiest defense line available in
that desert, but he could not get
the wherewithal.
The only surprise was the spot
at which tha British hit him.
His. September attack had been
made just north of the Quattara
depression. That was regarded
' F IllilllillliWO)

as the battle center. There his
major forces were massed.
British feints and concentre
lions behind their own lines kept
him there until they hit him at
the opposite end of tha battle-
front, along the coastal road, as
well as In the center,
NAZI STRENGTH WANES
At those points they found

man regiments into Italian di
visions, mixing them about

Intend that the Italians again be
allowed to fight alone.
But it was superiority of power
that did the job, a superiority
which the pleading Rommel in
Berlin could not match.
No better confirmation of wan
Ing German strength is needed.
If Hitler can be wasted on the
Russian front this winter as
much as last, and if this display
of growing weakness stimulates
further expansion of the second
front In the Mediterranean or
elsewhere the end of the war in
Europe becomes a realistic pos
sibility for the months to come,
Many official authorities, in
their speeches and statements,
have intimated Hitlers break
down might be elected before
the war In the Pacific could be
closed. If Hitler can be crushed
first, the Joint naval might of
Britain and the United States
can be concentrated to drive
Japan from the seas and open
the way for us to go straight into
Toklo to clean them out.
This looks like the beginning
of the end.
