Today's Roundup SfLTS'SS
Br MALCOLM EPLEY
A HAT kind of news promotes war bond
VV pales? That question may be answered
In part by the local reaction to the news that
our aide has taken Tunis ana
Blzerte and virtually won the
African campaign.
Last month's bond campaign
was undoubtedly helped by
announcement of the execu
tion of Amr!ran flim in
news was timed to give a push
U Ay ii to the second war loan drive,
i Ja' III Tnat wasn' sood news, but
l&aVfca lt was news that fanned the
EPLEY anger of thJ people. Lots of
them, no doubt, expressed their feelings by
added bond purchases.
The Tunls-Biiert story Is good news. Will
there be a tendency to translate rejoicing over
this victory into bond purchases that will help
to "keep it rolling," or will a lot of folks
consider that the war is about won and with
draw their personal support as evidenced in
bond-buying?
Anyone who thinks twice will know that
wa have only started to win the war. In fact,
wa have hardly done that in the Pacific, while
the battle of Europe must follow the battle of
Africa. Victories such as that won this week
take a terrific toll in equipment that must be
replaced if the tide, now turned, continues to
flow as we want it to flow.
Locally, this situation is dramatized in the
effort of the Lions club to pile up May bond
sales to $350,000 enough to buy a Flying
Fortress. That Fortress will replace a ship lost
in the successful drive in Africa, or lost in the
aweepi over Hitler-held Europe, or lost in the
attacks on Jap ships or installations in the
Pacific.
The Lions have set a high goal, but this com-:
munity ha not missed yet on its bond objectives.
WE HAVE commented here on a tendency
of government officialdom to use the
war as a reason for withholding from the
public information that is without military slg
nificance and belongs to the people in a coun
try where the press and speech are supposed
to be free. This has gone so far that govern
ment ranks are packed with people who think
first of the "gag" and secondly of free press
and the free flow of information.
A local incident serves to Illustrate how gov
ernment representatives slide easily into that
way of thinking.
At the outset of the hearing held here Sat
urday on the question of retroactive pay dates
in the pine awards, this newspaper was in
formed that the meeting was not "open" and
that clearance must be obtained from the OWI
before it could ba reported in detail in the
press.
This was a strictly non-military matter, and
any suggestion that the hearing should be closed
was ridiculous on its face. The government
representative said he had no personal objec
tion to the reporting of the hearing, both the
union and employer representatives said they
favored an open hearing, but an OWI o.k. was
required before we could cover it.
The OWI office in Portland Quickly granted
the clearance, and indicated that it was not
necessary. But the fact that the referee in
charge here believed it was reauired clearlv
illustrates the sort of thing we have been talk
ing about.
Oscar Peyton
NSCAR PEYTON'S death removes from our
-midst a fine gentleman, a loyal friend,
and a man who has given much in public
spirited service to this community.
Mr. Peyton entered business here in 1011,
and from that time until his death he was
vitally interested in the welfare of the Klam
ath basin and its people. Members of his
family have been active for many years in
civic, business and fraternal circles. This news
paper joins a wide circle of friends in express
ing sympathy to them at this time of bereavement

the first one made for an advertising cam
paign.
This No. 1 prize for newspaper excellence
was made to the World-Herald, the trustees an
nounced, "for its initiative and originality in
planning a state-wide campaign for the col
lection of scrap metal for the war effort."
If you'll think back about a year, the big
problem toward winning the war, and keep
ing moving at home, was that of collecting
scrap metal and rubber for the manufacturers.
On the plea of Donald Nelson, newspapers
throughout the country turned loose their ad
vertising columns and the scrap started rolling
In. While the collection of scrap Is a continuing
need, this brief, nation-wide advertising cam
paign put the country over the hump. Ships
are still abuilding and you can get your tires
recapped by showing that they need it.
First Big War-Time Campaign
rIS newspaper scrap drive was the first
nation-wide advertising campaign of its
kind in this war. Its outstanding success stimu
lated the use 'of advertising for many other
public programs. The sale of War Bonds, of
sours, is outstanding.
Newspapers didn't take over the whole job
of collecting scrap by any means. In this
particular "newspaper scrap drive" in Klamath
still lt might open he door a crack for gov
ernment control.
A "free press" must depend upon individually
seU-sustalning newspapers. The Herald and
News, for instance, sells its papers to soma
10,000 Individual families, and its advertising
to several hundred individuals and businesses.
The biggest advertiser accounts for less than
10 of this paper's income.
With the average- daily paper's Income spread
out like this, it would be hard for any special
interest or government agency to dictate what
it prints.
Comics, Ads Beat the News
THE government in war times, of course, tells
newspapers what NOT to say. Anybody
will admit that there must be censorship. Any
body will admit that it can't function perfectly.
And the newspaper, operating under censorship,
doesn't want to be In the bellyacher class.
Let's say it's amusing then, to note that the
first information on bow the Focke-Wulfs met
the problem of our Flying Fortress formation
flying was told by Captain Easy on the comic
page. And if you want to know how Uncle
Sam will lick the submarine menace unm tha

And the many things she said

Somo day to manhood you will

And marriugo will hold Its sway.
She too, a mother will be some

will come to you.
Then to mother, a kiss, a caress
and a prayer I plant, that
