On the Tunisian front, an

the fierce surge of battle, and
declared that the second and
final nazi counterattack near

12 Herds Dispersed
This will permit the distrib
utors to return more money to
producers and it is hoped will
stop the breaking up and re
moval of dairy herds in the
Klamath milkshed, a condition
that has been viewed with alarm
here in recent months, dairymen
stated.
At the meeting with the OPA
official it was reported that in
two months 12 herds, have been
dispersed and two others cut in
half. Three more herds are re
ported under process of sale, but
it was hoped the one-cent in
crease would hold these herds In
the Klamath milkshed.
High Costs
It was stated at the meeting
that the ceiling price on butter-
fat at many northern California
points is 62 cents a pound, and a
similar ceiling exists in various
places in southern Oregon. At
Klamath, the ceiling is 75 cents
a pound.
Dairymen made representa
tions concerning the cost of pro

Five of the rescued men were
too weak to get onto the wing

holding onto the wires. One

Regaining strength, remember,
will be a matter of REINFORCE
MENT AND SUPPLY,
"TODAY'S dispatches report
thousands of allied soldiers
and Arabs far in the rear of the
main battle area laboring to push
supplies to the front at top
speed. The supply depots on the
North African coast are described
as "feverishly active."
We must remember that the
Germans are working Just as
feverishly to reinforce and sup
ply THEIR front-line fighters.
That is a part of the routine
process of war.
AS to Bizerte and Tunis, re
member that whoever is IN
SIDE A CIRCLE fighting en
emies on the outside has the
advantage as long as he has sup
plies. Our ox-team pioneers rec
ognized that basic fact when they
drew their wagons into a circle
when attacked by the plains In
dians. The Germans In northern
Tunisia are on the Inside of the
circle. Our job is to cut off
their supplies and overwhelm
them.
"THERE isn't much new from
Russia today.
Moscow dispatches tell of Ill
trained German infantry units,
hastily formed from the ranks
of technicians, engineers and air
force ground crews, led by
pupils and teachers from Ger
man officer training schools, and
thrown into the fighting on the
central front.
Keep your fingers crossed
when reading these reports,
which may be colored by propa
ganda, but remember that these
are the things that will happen
when the Germans DO begin to
crack.

He said the increasingly dif

the Japanese on Guadalcanal
find themselves is borpe out by
their rather desperate efforts to
bring in fresh troops and sup
plies. . In this connection , ha
cited their attempt of last Mon
day night when they lost six
warships, two transports and a
cargo vessel to an American force
lying in wait for just such a
maneuver on the part of the
enemy. ,

KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON
CONSUMER
BY ODD MEAT
(Continued from Page One)
this strange chain of circum
stances has cut local meat pro
duction to about a quarter of
the 1941 last quarter production
and stated that tho situntlon
here is becoming increasingly
serious.
Appeal Mad
It was pointed out that tho
local consuming public, on the
basis of government orders, Is
entitled to 70 per cent of last
year's meat consumption, where
as the quotas now permitted lo
cal plants cut local supplies
from 20 to 30 per cent of last
yenr's supply.
It was revealed that appeals
have been made to the OPA to
permit an apportionment of the
Klamath Packing company quo
ta to tho plants in operation or
which ran be operated here at
the present time.
Quotas for killing In the last
quarter of 1942 are based on
70 per cent of the killing quo
tas for the last quarter of 1941.
According to information sup
plied the food section of OPA,
from the records of the local
meat and milk inspector, the
following are the killing records
for the last quarter of 1941:
Klamath Packing company
(now destroyed): Beef, 642
head; hogs, 1521 head; sheep,
134 head; veal, 162 head.
Pauley Packing company:
beef, 678 head; hogs, 699 head;
sheep, 174 head; veal, 200 head.
No Answer Yet
In writing to OPA, Hender
son said:
"You will note from this that
the destroyed plant killed more
than half of our total killings.
Since quota of 70 per cent has
been allotted, what will happen
to the quota of the destroyed
Klamath Packing company? . .
Unless this is allotted to the
Pauley Packing company and
the new plant now being built,
the meat supply will be par
ticularly serious In this area."
Henderson was told by the
Portland office of OPA to write
to Washington. He wrote to
Washington 10 days ago but as
yet has received no answer. On
Friday, telegrams were sent to
Senator McNary asking him to
give a hand in getting recog
nition of the local situation and
favorable action.
Dr. Calvin Hunt, local meat
and milk inspector, said Friday
that ordinarily about 3500
pounds of lunch meat (bologna,
minced ham, etc.) are con
sumed in Klamath Falls daily.
Local production of this type of
meat has virtually stopped and
what is available is being ship
ped into the town.
