Gen. LeClcrc mid his forces
were in firm contact with the
onrushing 8th army, "brilliantly
taking part with their British
allies in the advance on Trip
oli," thus effectively sealing the
arc which the allies have thrown
around the last axis foothold in
North Africa.
Liaison had previously been
established between LeClerc's
columns and American-British-French
forces on the western
flank in Tunisia.
Multiple signs indicated that
Rommel might abandon Tripoli
without a fight in his urgency
to reach Tunisia: The Berlin
radio reported that the city was

Moreover, violent fighting in
asntral Tunisia, 'where strongly

smashed at French positions
southwest of Pont du Fahs,
suggested an effort to clear the
way for Rommel's weary forces
en route to the Tunis-Bizerte
tone in northern Tunisia.

of allied cargo ships, he said,
"the over-all picture is bright."
As for the folks back home,
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of
the war production board said:
"There is a feeling among
some WPB officials that we have
gone too far in stripping down
the civilian economy. Others
feel we haven't gone far enough.
Flynn Endorsed
"I would say that there is not
much more trimming of consunv
er goods which would yield sub
stantial quantities of war mate
rial."
At the capitol. Chairman Con-
nally of the senate foreign rela
tions committee (D-Tex.) ' an
nounced that Josephus Daniels,
former ambassador to Mexico
and one-time secretary of the
navy, had endorsed Edward J,
Flynn for the post as minister to
Australia.
During a one-day lull on the
hearing on Flynn's fitness for the
office, Connally released a tele
gram in which Daniels said the
former democratic national
chairman's knowledge, personal
ity and "his whole-hearted devo
tion to winning the war admir
ably fits him for the duties of
the diplomatic post."
Music Ban Studied
Other developments:
The house rules committee
unanimously approved a resolu
tion to continue the existence of
the special house committee
studying the problems of small
business. Chairman Patman (D
Tex.) said it would ask an ap
propriation of $25,000.
A resolution authorizing con
tinuance of an investigation into
a union musicians ban against
recorded music was introduced
in the senate by Chairman Clark
(D-Idaho) of a special sub-com
mittee.
Two board of economic war
fare - officials testified behind
closed doors to a senate agricul
ture subcommittee which sought
an accounting on American rub
ber shipments to Russia and

Hopka building, and the trouble
was caused by the freezing of a
drain pipe from the sidewalk to
the roof, causing water to back
up. Water ran to the floor of a
dress shop but did no damage to
stock.
Some other downtown stores
and buildings had "water trou
ble," and a Safeway warehouse
sustained a small flood.
Schools will remain down Fri
day it was announced by Super
intendent Arnold L. Gralapp,
who said that in some instances
buildings could operate but in
view of the fact that all could
not open, it was deemed advis
able to keep the same schedule.
Fremont was unable to get heat.
Riverside found the hill clogged
with drifts, and at Pelican bus
service was interrupted.
Workers Struggle
Major mills in the area were
down Wednesday. Workers were
unable to reach the plants and
those who did manage to get to
work found they could not han
dle the green lumber.
Downtown workers struggled
through the slush which came
up over curbs and at Eleventh
and Main street members of the
city crew used huge shovels to
make a path for the stream
which ran into the Main drains.
Highway traffic out of Klam
ath Falls was sharply curtailed
although all roads are open, ac
cording to the state highway de
partment. One-way traffic is the
order north of Fort Klamath as
far as Chemult and at the last
report the Willamette pass was
closed as a number of trucks
"were In a Jam."

The tribal council and local offi

Altogether. Ivory asserted, the
basin faces a total loss of produc

1943 and 305,000,000 feet in
1944. (1942 production approxi

have failed to promote maximum
production of a critical war ma
terial. Mills adversely affected. Ivory
said, have contacted local and
regional forest officials.
"They are sympathetic and
cooperative, but say that over-nil
forest policy prevents putting up
large cuts of pine stumpage,"
said Ivory. "Furthermore, cur
rent regulations require them to
award any timber put up to the
highest bidder, irrespective of
his needs in connection with the
war."
Ivory said the lumber produc
tion office in Portland is sym
pathetic but has advised that it
lacks authority to allocate pine
timbc.
Ivory then suggested that a
system of allocation be worked
out, providing government tim
ber for existing mills which have
no other available stumpage.
"The government is pressing
Klamath mills daily to turn out
more lumber," said Ivory. "It
tells them to whom they may
sell and at what price. Is it not to
the government's advantage to
see the timber goes to those who
need it?"
