Today's Roundup

whether dog owners will estab

lish a voluntary control that will make council
action unnecessary.
In the current situation, it is dog owners
who are vociferous, but there is sentiment on
the other side, and it will probably show itself
later If the dog situation gets out of hand.
The number of people who participated in
this lively ruckus far exceeded the number
who ordinarily interest themselves in gov
ernmental affairs hereabouts. There are many
important matters that come along through the
year budget hearings, for example that de
serve some such showing of public interest, but
never get it.
How About It?
DOG owners, as well as anyone else, are per
fectly justified in making their opinions
known to the council. The turnout was impres
sive, and inasmuch as it occurred on Monday
night, we are going to suggest a similar turnout
next Monday night at the surgical dressing
project in the Red Cross headquarters, where
work of vital importance to the war effort is
carried on.
Monday nights are men's nights in the surgi
cal dressing room. Last night, the showing was
pretty bad, except for state guardsmen who
came en masse to help out. Volunteers were
reduced to a pitiful few.
People have time to go to dog hearings. They
. have time to go to shows and to lodge meet
ings. They have time to play cards. How
about giving an evening or an afternoon a week
to the Bed Cross surgical dressing project?
Surely, it is vitally important that the medical
services on the field of battle be provided with
the supplies they need to care for our wounded.
Communities like Klamath Falls must help out
If these supplies are to be sufficient, and the
opportunity lies in the surgical dressing project.
Both men and women can do this job.
Let this be a town that can do more than
get a full house at a dog hearing. Let this be
a town that can turn out its quota of surgical
dressings for our wounded men. How about it?
Klamath's Pelican basketeers are going to
another state tournament at Salem this week.
This time, because of a wartime shifting of the
districts, Klamath was forced to meet stiff op
position to get to Salem, but still it won out in
the preliminaries. Here's a hand for the lads
as they go into a tough state meet. '-

WASHINGTON, March 9 A few swift local
thrusts made by the Japs in China have
aroused both fears and threats that a drive is on
to knock China out of the
war.
This is no doubt the time
for the Japs to try it if they
can, but a survey of their
available fighting power on the
ground in South China has
exposed the truth that they
will do well to hold on to
what they have. Any idea of
an early offensive to crush the
Chinese nation is sheer chow
mein, or whatever they serve

tunately not being assessed in the current
tabulation of our lend-lease deficiencies.
Russian Front
A SATISFACTORY assessment of the war on
the Russian front is harder to make. In
the war of movement in progress there, static
lines mean little and the question is how much
of the German army has been destroyed and
how much power the Russians have left.
This is of especial importance to us in view
of the imminence of our promised Invasion
of the continent this year, because it may
largely determine what we will have to face.
Some authorities claim the heavy fighting in
Russia has been at only a few strong points,
such as Stalingrad, the Donets basin, and the
Caucasus. Except at Stalingrad, they say Hitler
has called heavily on the forces of the con
quered nations, particularly Rumania and Italy,
while saving his own men.
The best evidence indicates, however, that
Hitler has not been able to get sufficient men
from the satellites to force the war off on
them. He got about 12 divisions from Italy
(now withdrawn, but no doubt replaced at least
in part), nine from Hungary, one from Spain,
and possibly 15 from Rumania.
Certainly, he tapped Rumania harder than
anyone else, and some estimates of Rumanian
troops on the front run as high as 30 divisions.
But the best information is that no more
than 40 divisions of satellites' troops could be
made to fight in Russia for Hitler a paltry
600,000.
The number of German divisions on the
front has best been reported at 180 2,700,000
troops.
Certainly then, the best of the German east
ern army has been in Russian fighting and has
not been saved out. Certainly also, German
production is declining and the manpower
squeeze is so great that he has been forced to
take men out of the army and put them back
in the factories, in some instances.
How he can organize a spring offensive com
parable in any way to that of last year is be
yond comprehension of any outside authority.
True, his losses have not amounted to any
thing like the fantastic Russian claims (else his
entire army would now be twice annihilated),
but where he is going to get the men, planes
and equipment to try to rush back to Stalingrad
is hard to imagine.
The general expectation is that he will retire
to a shorter eastern line which can be defended
by strongly holding a few points against the
Russians, and then switch his endeavors mainly
to meet our expected blows by a march
through Spain, an attack on Turkey or a purely
defensive internal consolidation.
Tunisia
CONFIDENCE here In the Tunisian outcome
has in no way been diminished by recently
discovered American defects on that front.
The best fighting weather opens the latter
part of this month, and the promised offensive
to eliminate the nazis in North Africa may
then be expected with the bigger blow direct
ly at the continent (Norway? Italy? Balkans?
Spain?) coming
shortly thereafter.

Jap convoy out of the water In
sea, they pointed to n new realis
tic understanding of the war in the far east.
News interpreters naturally ployed up the
effect that it had in saving Australia, which
is the obvious thing, but MacArtlntr is also
saving China as much as Australia.
The Japs have been required to commit
themselves to reinforcements of men, planes
and ammunition to sustain their vast conquests
of 'the South Pacific, thereby diminishing their
power and possibilities in front of Chiang Kai
Shek. The sinking of their convoy means they
will have to send even more.
This not only takes away from China the
fighting power necessary for the Japs to knock
China out, but also the indispensable ships
(upon which latter item they are exceptionally
short). As long as the bulk of Jap military
strength is pledged to Manchuria and the South
Seas, Chiang need have no grave fears.

He sold Tuesday that the average fuel oil reduction In this
district will bo about 20 per cent under lust year, and In no case
more than 3U 13 per cent,
Householders are advised to tako all prccuulluin to prevent
heat loss, such as Insulation, weather stripping, pulling of blinds
at night, keeping tholr heating
apparatus In top condition, and
careful operation of fireplaces.
Long said that the prevalence
of fireplaces In homes In this
community can be a source of
tremendous heat lots. Careful
uso of the fireplace draft, and
stuffing the chimney with paper
when the fireplace Is not In use,
aro methods of preventing heat
loss through this channel,
Long admitted that fuol ra
tioning is one of the most com
plex of all the OTA rationing
programs to date, and said there
Is widespread misunderstanding
and confusion In connection
with It.
He pointed out that home
