SUNS TO
SPEAK; LABOR
' WIS
As union labor drove forward
vigorously on Klamath's war
saving! front, plans were an
nounced Wednesday for lunch
eon meeting a week hence at
which E. C. Sammons, chairman
of the Oregon victory fund com
mittee, will be the principal
speaker.
Sammons has Just returned
from Washington D. C, and will
give a message on the treasury
department's victory fund drive
starting In April. The luncheon,
sponsored by the chamber of
commerce, will be held at noon
at the Willard on April 7.
Vern Owens, vice chairman of
the county war savings drive,
' said that all forms of war bonds
will count in the victory loan
drive.
Owens stated further that or
ganized labor's efforts to make
a $500,000 quota for March and
April are making headway, and
be believes they will succeed.
The money will be used In buy
ing a sub-chaser for Uncle Sam's
fighting forces.
; Owens said that the labor pro
gram was undertaken at a most
difficult time, and while March
sales have been rather slow,
they are now picking up and the
two-months campaign is expect
ed to come through with colors
flying.
He paid warm tribute to or
ganized labor for Its patriotic ef
forts. CONGRESS TALKS

No Invasion Yet
, OWI Chief Davis, who has
many sources of Information but
specified he was speaking "strict
ly as a civilian," expressed the
opinion that axis forces in Tuni
sia could be exterminated or neu
tralized in time to permit inva
sion of Europe this year.
As for meat, Davis blamed the
temporary shortage in many sec
tions on a pile-up of shipments in
the midwest "and because of loss
of local supplies to black mar
kets." The various governmental
actions which have been decid
ed on, he added, should help
soon.
Farm Labor Opposition
The opposition to the Face
f arm-labor-costs-in-parity bill
came from Colston E. Warne,
who said he as president of Con
sumers Union of U. S., Inc.,
spoke for 80,000 organized con
sumers. Warne asked a senate
agriculture subcommittee to re
ject this house-approved measure
as one which would "cost con
sumers billions of dollars' in
added food costs.

rounded up the five hidden Ital
ians and marched back with the
group of 20.
Move Forward
U. S. armored forces moved
forward down the valley on each
side of the road to Gabes and
the sea. Batteries of 105 and
155-millimeter Howitzers helped
pulverize the opposition, but af
ter the preliminary walk-over
the tanks themselves ran Into
enemy fire and the cracking
echoes of their 75-mIlllmeter
guns reverberated over the bat
tlefield. Most of the trouble
came from a dozen dug-in Italian
tanks and a number of 88-mllli-
meter guns entrenched in the
hills which simultaneously ad
vancing American infantry slow
ly was cleaning out.
At the end of the -day the
armored column had advanced
more than 12 miles from El Gue
tar along the Gabes road and
more than 15 miles on the left
flank along the Gumtree road.

Cross Minefields
Reports from the front said
the Americans had finally
crossed the German minefields
and had captured 200 prisoners.
Montgomery's men, wiping
out enemy units in hurriedly
thrown up trenches and other
defenses, were compelling Rom
mel to confine his retreat al
most entirely to the coastal
highway, flanked by the sea
at a distance of only about five
miles on the east and desert and
marshes on the west.
Navy Fights
(Algiers radio broadcasts said
the British navy was continuing
to harass the axis retreat by
pouring shells into the coastal
road).
The first 40 miles of Rom
mel's route toward Sfax, some
70 miles up the coast, were bar
ren sand, and each mile pushed
the beaten Germans and Ital
ians into a narrowing corridor.
There was no information
here, however, on reports of an
allied naval landing at Sfax.
French Advance
(A French communique re
corded in London from the Al
giers radio said French forces
had advanced beyond Bou Mar
dos, 10 miles southeast of El
Guetar, and were closing in on
Kebili, south of the Chott Djerid
marsh.
(The Germans violently coun
terattacked the French east of
Plchon in central Tunisia, the
communique said, but they were
repulsed by artillery, and
French patrols again advanced
in the Ousseltla valley.

SHORTAGE TO
BIG DRAFT

that he would seek to avoid di
rect and compulsory job-control
as long as possible.
Dairy Claim
The program gave dairy work
ers a preferred claim on draft
deferment exceeding even that
recently established for essential
farm workers gonerally, which
resulted in such a strong back-to-the-farm
movement that some
war plants are complaining of
losing workers.
But it also provides that ex
perienced former dairy workers
between 18 and 38 who have
been rejected by the army for
physical disability might, if they
refuse to return to dairy work,
be put up for reconsideration
and acceptance for limited serv
ice. Furthermore, It provides that
If the dairy worker shortage is
not "adequately" relieved other
wise, dairy workers who have
taken jobs In industry will be
"urged" by the draft board to
return to dairying.
