Today's Roundup News Behind the News
By MALCOLM EPLEY
THERE has been a heartening turn of events
In Washington the past few days on the
Japanese war Issue.
'. In speech that some believed to be a
oundlng board for white 5,
House strategy, Senator Chand
ler of Kentucky sounded a
rigorous plea to "beat Japan
first"
That was followed by Prime
Minister Churchill's address
before congress Wednesday in
which he pledged Britain's par
ticipation in a fight to lay
Japan's war industries and
cities in ashes.
Tr. v.i cnonch. Mr. Churchill
seemed to take cognizance of Senator Chandler s
previous remarks, and to offer assurances in
response to any hint that Britain might be less
Interested In defeating Japan than in winning
the European war.
Thus, the Pacific war gets a major play in
Washington at a time when new allied strategy
appears to be In the making. That goes along
with important offensive action in the Aleutians
to- serve notice on Japan that a day of reck
oning lies ahead.
All of this is evidently a response to an In
creasing show of concern on the part of the
people of the United States" over the situation
In the Pacific, where Japan has virtually won
its war and is now engaged in . widespread
consolidation of its gains.
The general view, here in this typical western
community, seems to be that the finish is in the
making for the war In Europe, but that a long,
hard struggle lies ahead in the Pacific with
probability of tremendous costs before it is won.
Along with that is a vague feeling that Wash
ington has been pre-occupied with Europe to the
benefit of the wily Japs, and that, in turn,
tracks back to fact that Washington and the
high military and naval authorities under-rated
th Japs up to the moment the bombs burst on
Faarl Harbor.
The Japanese war now comes more promin
ently Into the picture of Allied war strategy.
What that plan may be, and how soon it is to
start rolling, was not disclosed, of course, but
Churchill hinted at least that the war is to be
carried to Japan proper in the leveling of its
Industries and its cities.
That can only be done from advance bases.
The first job is to get those bases.
Wor Bond Drive
J rVUBLIC response to the Lions club's vlgor-
ously prosecuted May war bond campaign
has been excellent, but still some $100,000
remains to be subscribed before the $350,000
a Coal is reached for the purchase of a Flying
Fortress. The objective is high, the last $100,-
MO will come hard, and widespread public sup
J port Is necessary to reach it.
' The Lions took on a difficult job In a month
1 following the terrific pressure of the second
2 war loan campaign. Their goal must be
reached through the sale of E bonds only.
But Klamath people have a way of coming
through on these matters, and we believe they
t will do It again.
,;
Legislative Costs
ACCORDING to the Salem Statesman, the
cost of running the state legislature In
1943 was $164,869 as" compared with $132,570
in 1941.
Prominent in the Increase was the upped pay
el legislators, voted by the people themselves
at the last election. The public, in voting the
pay boost, gave approval to increased legislative
costs.
The Statesman, however, predicts that 1645
costs will be greater than those in 1943, even
though there will probably be no further in
crease in legislators' pay. It mentions, among
other legislative expenses, "extra clerks, steno
graphers who can't stenog, excess "postage,"
and "editing the Journals." All of these, it says,
V unnecessary or exorbitant charges that go
en from session to session.
There is a lot of waste at Salem, as well as at
Washington. Many attaches of various brands
ara on the payroll but do little real work that
U of value to the state. As we have remarked
before, the idle women who sit around on the
house floor, day after day, could produce a lot
of surgical bandages if they were put to work.

planes.
If Hitler has a formidable air force available
in western Europe, an invasion cannot be suc
cessfully attempted until that air force is
beaten. The same factor applies everywhere.
We can go wherever we can get superiority In
the air and nowhere else.
The latest authentic reports suggest Hitler
has about 6500 actual fighting planes, a still
formidable number. About one-third of them
(something over 2000 planes) are supposed to
be on the Russian front and- will have to re
main there for the forthcoming drives, pos
sibly against Moscow and Leningrad.
The Russians claim to have"destroyed 1300
planes in the last two weeks. If they did, they
have decimated nazi air power on their' front,
but Russian reports are always so enthusiastic
that none of our military decisions are likely
to be based on what Stalin gives out In his
newspaper. .
Hitler's production, according to the most
trustworthy available data, is now running
about 1200 to 1600 planes a month, just about
half of his peak of plane production (2500 a
month) reached in the fall- of 1941 and con
tinuing for some months thereafter. His re
placements, therefore, are coming slowly and
painfully, but not inconsiderably.
None are being wasted by the worried
fuehrer against us on the southern front. The
air opposition we have run into in Sicily, the
southern part of Italy, and Sardinia has been
very weak.

WASHINGTON, May 19 Some radio com

tensified Anglo-American bombing of western
Europe as a "prelude to invasion," causing peo

MALLON

AHILE rumors have appeared that the
W naxis have withdrawn ground forces back
behind the Alps, the latest checks indicate
Hitler has not had many troops in Italy. His
controls there lately have been maintained
mostly by gestapo leaders and industrial plant
managers. He would be in a desperate condi
tion, indeed if he intended to let us get Italy
without fighting and acquire air bases there
with which to bomb all Germany.
Put all these authentic reports of the air
situation together and you must conclude we
already have air superiority over southern
Italy, Sicily and Sardinia, but will have a fight
on our hands yet. to acquire It over Holland,
Belgium or France.
- Invasion of Italy, therefore, seems feasible,
the northwest European coast-line still difficult.
Norway would be much easier.
These current Intensified bombings of Ger
many are therefore only long distance preludes
to invasion. Heavy bombers, it is true, are used
as artillery in a prelude to attack.
Two months before Tunisia collapsed, our
bombers plastered Naples and the Sicilian ports,
destroying shipping, and then, for the final
push, drew In to hammer the German fighting
line in North Africa. The long range bombing
comes first, then short range.
Prelude to Invasion
THE Anglo-American long-range bombing at
tacks on Germany must first conclude this;
current phase of blasting railroad communica
tions far back from the coast,, engaging the
luftwaffe dally, knocking out whatever combat
planes they can, and destroying the German
centers of airplane production.
Then it can hammer the fortifications on the
coast, as an Immediate prelude to a landing.
When you hear of German batteries along the
coast catching this rain of explosives, you will
know invasion is nigh.
