PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON J S, Promoted Oregon News Notes Potatoes M FRENCH 27 YOUNG IN FEND OFF NEW AXIS ADVANGE (Continued From Page One) near Thala and throughout early thii morning until late this af ternoon, a bitter battle was waged. It may prove to be the critical engagement of the campaign. Vital Battle Thala Is a gateway to the huge plateau, which has been a battle field in various wars xor i ' thousand years. Should Rommel smash the at lied forces he would be able to send his columns out In a dozen directions over perfect tank country for 100 square miles. , Observers here agree the sit uation is more serious than the original break-through at Faid Pass, or even the drive through Kasserine Gap, from which the latest attack was launched. United States and British forces knocked out 14 nazi tanks during heavy fighting yesterday and last night under a bright moon, but one German column of more than 70 tanks thrust to within eight miles of Thala, a junction in the allied lines. Rommel was gambling desper ately in an effort to score a knockout blow agauut the Brit ish first army before the British eighth army could neutralize his Mareth line and push into the central Tunisian theater. On the edge of a vast plateau eight miles from Thala, British and United States forces were , engaged in a violent night and day tank battle, with the issue still In doubt. - Soviets Poised , For March to Dnieper River ' (Continued From Page One) west of Krasnodar toward the Black sea coast were rolling forward. An early communique said nothing about the Dnieper valley threat, where the Russian troops were last reported beyond Krasnograd, 60 miles southwest of Kharkov. But it told of the capture of Bokovo-Antratsit, a coal center and railway station, and of Up per Nagolchik, a large town, in the drive closing around German garrisons remaining in the east central areas of the Donets coal country. Elsewhere In the Donets basin, bitter fighting again was report ed south of Kramatorsk, where a soviet pincer was thrust toward the industrial center of Stalino. In this area a large German tank force was repulsed as it tried to regain lost ground and the fighting, the Russians said, was extremely violent with the Germans suffering heavy losses. fa J T wuLrnmLiown When the War Is WON! By EARL WHITLOCK So often you hear people say ing, Well, we cannot do so - and so until aft- P P 1 er the war is 6 i over." Wt -1 Sounds sort J of like that old of yesler years, "When this cruel war is over, Nellie dear." uon't you tnink it mloht uwab us ieei more scrappy, less resigned, more like aggressive Americans if we'd change our thinking and our phrasing? How WON this war," instead of When the war is OVER"? Or laying, "After we've WON the war," instead of merely "after the war"? Lets get and keep in mind constantly, the thought of WINNING, not just the idea of a lapse of time. Maybe this is an unimportant , point. I don't think so. Multi plied by millions, it might have a strong psychological effect toward counteracting any pre mature and indecisive peace. And you can depend on it that the Axis will try to establish just that sort of peace and long before they are thoroughly beaten down. So they will be able to come back and start an other war in another generation. So let's Bay, "When the war Is 'WON " Not, "When it's OVER." Next Monday Mr. Whitlock of the Earl Whitlock Funeral Home will comment on ' "Our Leaders Laugh." , Lou Langworthy will take over the managership of the Penney store In Kennewlck. Wash., it was announced today. LEAVES TUESDAY Promotion of Lou Langworthy of the J. C Penney company here to managership of the. Pen' ney store in Kennewick, Wash was announced today by Sid EL Hot, head of the Klamath Falls store. Langworthy will leave Tues day to take over the new post. Mrs. Langworthy and their daughter, Louise, will remain here temporarily. Langworthy started with the Penney firm in Marshfield and was transferred here to help open the store in 1937. He be came assistant manager when Bruce Elliott was promoted to manager in Yreka. He has been active in junior chamber work, "I am very pleased to see Lou get this step-up in the Penney organization," Elliot said. He pointed out that all Penney man agers come from within -the ranks, each manager having had experience in all departments. Langworthy is the second em ploye here to get a managership since the store" opened here. Bruce Elliott, known in the store as 'Tdr. Bruce, has recently taken over the Roseburg store. Penney employes will have a farewell breakfast for Lang worthy at the Pelican cafe Tues day. OREGON I0IISE KILLS TRUCK BILL 45-15 (Continued From Page One) limits because of the threat they would have to reduce them when the war ends. Bennett said that railroads are able to cope with any transpor tation shortage, and that the big ger limits would ruin high ways and make them unsafe. He said the bill is unfair to rail roads "which now are a whole some influence." Rep. Kenneth S. Martin, Grants Pass, said the war department knows what it is talking about in asking for the bill. Excuse Other opponents to the meas ure charged that truck operators could convert their trucks and make enough money to pay for it in a short time. Rep. John Steelhammer, Sa- lem, cnarged that the truck oper ators used the war emergency merely as an excuse to get the limits increased after the war. EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) hours. When he awoke, he seemed more cheerful. The crisis seems to have hpon temporarily passed. JHIS is the point: Many people who know India well think that if Gandhi dies as a result of his hunger strike his followers will REVOLT. A revolution in India would certainly be a set-back for our side. THIS writer hasn't a great deal of admiration for the little carrot-nibbling Gandhi, who seems to be quite willing to risk helping the Japs tremendously in order to force Britain's hand in India. Still, we can't alwavs work with ideal tools in this vale of tears, but Instead have to work with whatever tools we can find. uandhi is one of these tools. If We can't find a wav tn in him, it is annoyingly probable that the Japs will. PI LES SUCCESSFULLY TREATED NO PAIN - NO HOSPITALIZATION N Lou of Tlm Ptrmtnwt RwulUI DR. E. M.

SHIPS IN ATLANTIC AREA (Continued From Page One) 500 persons aboard the second ship, are either known dead or missing. Next of kin of the casualties have been notified." Survivors Not Landed All those on board except the crewmen were traveling as pas sengers, a navy spokesman said, and the ships were not army or navy transports in the strict sense of the term in that they were not actually being oper ated by either of the services. The navy spokesman said he was unable to say whether the vessels were traveling in con voy, although it seemed prob able that they were since most North Atlantic shipping is now organized on a convoy basis. It was not known . here whether any survivors had yet reached port, but the belief was that if they had not they would be arriving within a day or. so. Severe Blow The fact that the casualties were described as either "dead or missing," left some hope that a few survivors other than those known to have escaped the twin marine disasters might eventually turn up and reduce the total of missing but no hope was expressed here that the loss would be substantially cut down. The sinkings of the two ships within four days of each other constituted one of the most se vere blows yet dealt North At lantic shipping by U-boat raid ers, at least insofar as loss of valuable personnel is concerned. Previously no American ship sinking had involved any such heavy loss of life in the At lantic. Grant Elton.

Mr. Flanders had lived in this vicinity for many years and had been employed, as mechanic as well as "cat" driver for Lamm's, Chiloquin Lumber com pany and Lakeview firms. The remains are at Ward's. British Subs Knock Out More Nazi Supply Ships LONDON, Feb. 22 (P) Brit ish submarines operating In the Mediterranean have destroyed two medium-sized axis supply ships, probably a large tanker and damaged three other vessels in recent operations, the ad miralty announced today. In addition, a small vessel was declared to have been torpedoed and sunk at anchor.

Klamath Citizens Go All Out on Soldier Project (Continued From Page One) ing them in excess of $1000 for their project. Honor guests of the evening were the six marines who are in Klamath Falls on the first visit of wounded men arranged by the Commandos. Mayor John Houston presid ed during the floor chow, which included special features by the Commandos and by talent from Camp White. Corporal Alex ColleBrusco gave several tap dance numbers, and Sergeant Thomas Vivelo sang several se lections accompanied by his own guitar. An impressive feature of the evening was a drill with, white rifles by the Commandos. Noise from the huge crowd made it difficult for the Commandos to hear the commands of their cap tan, Bernie Heidemann, but they staged a snappy perform ance that brought terrific ap plause. Six marines were introduced, and Sergeant L. H. Morgan of Harrisburg, Pa., spoke briefly in appreciation of the Comman dos and the community. The marines will remain here until Thursday morning. They are guests in private homes and the Commandos have arranged several affairs in their honor. (Continued From Page One) acknowledged that it is a "scant ration," but said people will get along on it "so that our fight ing forces and the fighting forces of our allies may have the food they need to carry on." - Besides thumbing . cookbooks in search of fresh vegetable rec ipes this week, every family must send an adult representa tive to register for the new ra tion, books. The blue coupons in the book are for canned goods; the red ones will be used later for meat. A, B, and C blue coupons may be "spent" In March. The figures 1, 2, 5, or 8 are the point values. Thus two 8-point, or any other combination of stamps add ing up to 16 will buy a can of peas. April's ration will become use able on March 25 in conjunction with any March stamps left This one-week overlap will prevent people from being stuck with a small number of points which can't buy anything. The table of point values will be posted in all grocery stores, and the point values will be marked on each can or shelf in the store, but housewives will want to clip copies wherever available In order, to figure out tneir food budgets. The table covers all canned or frozen fruits, or vegetables, dried fruit, canned soup or baby food. To be added to it In a few days will be the point values of dried beans, peas and lentils, which were frozen without warn ing Saturday night, but which do not have to be declared when applying for the new ration books. The list does not cover canned meat or fish, which will be ra tioned with meat, probably at the end of March. How They Breed Babies for War! "HITLER'S CHILDREN" fail The World's of PELICAN REIVED FROM IfRA PROJECT (Continued From Page One) it is understood, was based on an objection to signing up for military service. They wanted to sign for repatriation, al though they are citizens of the United States, having been born nere. Project Director Coverlv stated that loyal evacuees on tho project are greatly disturbed over the occurrence and fear it will jeopardize their opportuni ties for proving their loyalty and taking advantage of the work clearance program. under the registration pro gram, American citizens of Japanese ancestry between 17 and 35 are being registered for possible military service. All evacuees, 17 years old or more, are being registered for volun tary outside work or work in war industries. Registration Slow Registration at the Tulclake project apparently has been slow compured with that else where, indicative of the results i of agitation on the part of evacuees who have attempted to induce others to refrain ironi registration. It is understood Manzanar registration of all evacuees was completed Satur day, while there are several thousand yet to be registered at ruieiuko. On February 9, project offi cials said they expected 8000 or 10,000 to be registered in the next 10 days, but the number registered so far is far short of those figures, It is understood. The situation was quiet on tna project Monday morning. The regional field director, Rob ert Cozzens, is at Tula lake to day. An official from the cro- jecl came here to take state ments from the men held in the Klamath jail. It was reported that the mili tary police were not active in the removal of the men from the project Sunday, but instead members of the internal secur ity force called upon the evacu ees to leave with them, and the removal was accompanied with out disorder. Military police stood by. Allied Bombers Thunder to Attack In Solomon Isles (Continued From Page One) attempting to cross the Salwcen river in China's southwestern province of Yunnan.
