EPLEY Germany, which in World
War I escaped the ravages which come to an
actual combat area, is not escaping them this
: time, even though there has been no land fight
ing on German soil. The German people, in their
homeland, are tasting the bitter medicine that
Hitler mixed for others and that Germans ad
ministered to near-helpless peoples in the early
stages of this war.
...
Mines and Dams
THE terrible havoc that can be wrought by
air power was demonstrated graphically by
plane-dropped mines which blew up two great
dams and sent huge volumes of water sweeping
down the. valley, of the Ruhr. These released
waters are creating widespread destruction that
could hardly have been wrought by thousands
of individually dropped bomb. Factories, farm
lands, power plants and many-important defense
installations' were swept away, while the loss of
life was heavy. . - . :
There appears no prospect of let-up in the
ceaseless aerial drive on Hitler's Europe. The
defease, if anything, appears to be weakening,
while from,: the production lines in the United
States, Canada 'and England more planes roll
into the ' United Nation'.: 'offensive. Hitler's
efforts to strike back are comparatively feeble.
The air campaign will go on indefinitely
until the?European axis cracks. We await now
the day when a similar' drive begins on Japan.

Added Labor Supply
STUDENTS, now entering the vacation period,
find themselves in a position to render
much valuable service to their community and
their country. , .
Many of the older ones, of course, will be
going into the armed forces. Jobs await virtual,
ly all the others who are willing to work, in
cluding the younger ones who usually spend
the summers in comparative Idleness.
The end of the school releases a flood of
valuable labor supply. It will help to tide oyer
a busy period In industry, business and agrloul-
ture. Indications locally are that our young
sters are willing and anxious to work, and
many of 'them already have landed summer
berths. ' ' ':..'

WASHINGTON, May SO American flyer
of rather low rank counseled the strategy
for taking Attu first and then going back to

f.f :.Hk ine nign commnna nwe
..Sfjsiivig understood to hava asked fly
ers on the ground in Alaska
for suggestions on strategy
1 and their recommendation
5 were followed. This Is how
democratic army functions In
contrast to Hitler and other
totalitarian military regimes.
The . importance of the
islands as bases for invasion
upon the - Japanese mainland
may be slightly over-estimated in the public
mind. They are good submarine oases, but,
due to weather conditions, are not satisfactory
air bases.
The Japs have been building fields on both
Ki&lta and Attu, however, and the one on
Attu is large enough for bombers. They could
not have been used to attack the United States,
being too far away, but would have launched
bombings of Alaska.
Price Vacillation
THEY are doing a lot of things to prices here,
but no one seems to know just what, and
somehow, no matter what they do threaten,
point-ration, freeze, or promise every time you
go to a store with a market basket, food seems
to cost a little bit more."
A flood of publicity about the new dollar and
cents ceilings, roll backs, subsidies, and manda
tory margins, has created the impression that
the cost of eating has declined, but' the evi
dence to sustain such a conclusion is still lack
ing to consumers.
The experts are as confused as everyone.
For instance, OPA first fixed margins of profits
on various foods on chain stores, some of which
were mandatory and others optional. . Then
they made all margins mandatory on the old
basis of March, 1942, but raised some-margins.
That was on, Monday. Two days later, on
Wednesday, margin reductions were ordered.
- The statisticians of the chains 'figure the re
ductions will cut them to such an extent In
meats,- canned fruits and vegetables, cereal,
rice, and sugar as to make their business un-
" profitable, Yet somehow nothing you buy
seems to be any cheaper. However, OPA
promised another meat roll-back decrease June
1, based on subsidies which the government
will pay out of the treasury to the meat packers.
A cursory check of the effect of the '300
food - ceilings-ordered by OPA 10 days ago,
indicates these did not roll back anything. Some
: prices were increased,, some decreased, and the
average left about the same. Enforcement may
be improved by the action, but not prices.
The particular brands of canned goods hit by
decreases seem to be those used in the chains,
and this should help the independents, but the
aid received by the consumer is not yet ap
parent, - The only thing sure is that no scientific
effort to handle the .price situation is evident.
Bather it is piece-meal plugging,
Temporary Stop-Gaps
THE confusing things which have been, done
are expected by most private economists
to be merely temporary stop-gaps at best. In
the long run, they think food prices are likely
to continue to work themselves ' upward one
way or another.
Also -obvious is the fact that food buying
through normal retail channels has fallen off
enormously.
In the chains beef consumption this April was
off 70 per cent from last April; processed foods,
SO per cent; meat, 60 per cent; butter a. id
cheese, 50 per cent; sugar, 25 per cent; coffee,
33 per cent. Much of this reflects curtailment
due to point rationing, but some of It is also
due to black markets in meat, poultry and
potatoes, and the transfer of business to smaller
stores.
The point rationing system seems much too
complex for the average housewife, and buying
is not being done on an efficient basis, In the
opinion of all authorities. The government has
made ' buying and living too complicated for
average intelligence. , ,
No one, in or out of the government, seems
-satisfied with the condition, but It look like
we will have to go on with OPA, order by
order, mistake by mistake, correction by cor
rection, until some semblance of efficiency
evolves out. of the chaos through the leveling
process of time.
Applications Taken for
Victory Pressure Cookers
Applications for new Vlctorv
model pressure cookers will be
received starting immediately
and ' continuing until June 15,
Burrell Short, chairman of ' the
Klamath county USDA war
board announced yesterday. Ap
plication formjcan be obtained
t all dealers and the office of
Ihe county farm machinery ra
tioning committee, room 209 at
tha Federal building.
All applications fllad within
this period will be considered by
a special subcommittee of four
women appointed to assist the
county farm rationing commit
tee with the pressure cooker ra
tiening program. -
Prefprenr-n will ho o-iiron 4n
applications from neighborhood
pools and to organizations, In
which at least six families agree
to share the use of a pressure
cooker to can meats and vege
tables. Generally, applications
from Individual families will ba
considered only from Isolated
ranches, where there are not
near neighbors to share the use
of a cooker.
In apportioning the number of
pressure cookers which will be
available in this county, the ra
tldnlng committee will consider
the number of quarts of vege
tables to be canned, the avail
ability of home-produced vege
tables, and the number and size
of families which would use the
cooker. Tomatoes and fruits will
not count toward eligibility for
a new pressure cooker, since they
do not require pressure cooker
processing for successful home
canning.
Approved applicants will be
notified by mail, but before a
purchase certificate Is Issued,
they will be required to locate
a dealer who can fill their order.

He's quite a graceful thing.
And when he dives upon his

He scores a perfect hit.
That's why we're sending him to

So he can do his bit.
We'll love to see him Tying,
Across the wide Pacific:
For the damage he can do
Is bound to be terrific. '

ABLE OFFICIAL PASSES
Sacramento Bee
California's delegation in con
gress has sustained a severe
loss In tho death of Congress
man Harry L. Englebright of the
second district and republican
whip In the house of represen
tatives. Englebright was sent to the
house at a special election In
August, 1028. He served con
tinuously since that time.
The high regard In which the
voters of the district held him
was demonstrated by tha big
majority he rolled up at every
biennial election.
He was a native of Nevada
City, Nevada county, and had
lived in the mountain counties
which make up most of the
second district ell his life. He
was a mining engineer and
hence was sympathetic toward
one of the leading Industries of
the region.
He made friends easily and
held them.
The Central Valley project
always found in him a staunch
and able champion, as did other
projects of special Interest to
California. Recently he had
been giving 100 per cent assist
ance to the move to get addi
tional funds for the continua
tion of the work oh all units of
the CVP.
It is a pity Harry Engle
bright's usefulness has been
ended, and all too soon.
