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.

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.

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."

of the Earl Whitlock Funeral
Home will comment on ' "Our

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Thomas Vivelo sang several se

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

Six marines were introduced,
and Sergeant L. H. Morgan of

dos and the community.
The marines will remain here
until Thursday morning. They
are guests in private homes and
the Commandos have arranged

- 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.

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

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.
