Today's Roundup
I'J. By MALCOLM EPLEY
TERRIFIC and widespread is the criticism of
John L. Lewis and the coal miners for tying
dp an essential industry in the midst of the
t ( t - country's most critical war in
I rWV' Us history.
iff 5 No other work stoppage in
D i. -V -X v3 iha war neriod has been the
target of such heated expres
sions as are directed at the
coal miners and their beetle
browed leader. '
Yet 1t has not been the first
work stoppage, by any means.
Others are going on right now.
They do not involve as many
workers, and their effect on
may not be so widely under
stood, but they are fundamentally and in pro
portion the same kind of sabotage of the war
effort.
;; People who have had little to say about other
work interruptions arc jumping into the attack
oajthe coal miners as if this were the first time
anything of the kind had ever happened.
EPLEY
war production
Every blast at Lewis and his men may be
fully justified, but it it is, the same thing goes
for any voluntary work interruption that stops
war production in an essential industry and
slows the flow of the tools of war to the fight
lng forces.
The coal mine case has served to dramatize
the whole problem of labor relations In the war
period. It has embraced the personalities and
the proportions to create a national issue.
From that standpoint it has, perhaps, been
fortunate incident, it will certainly be If we
realize that every production interruption, no
matter how minor, contributes its bit to a slow-
ingrown of the war program and the prolonga
tion of the struggle.
As we have said here before, a single day, or
even an hour, can make a lot of difference to
a great many people In this war. The last shot
may kill a man. The sooner that last shot is
fired, the more lives of our men will be saved,
the more relatives and friends of our men will
be spared the agony of losing a loved one.
It is the will of Americans that the last shot
will not be fired until complete victory is won.
The thing then is to win that victory as soon as
possible, and not to permit any delaying factor
that can be avoided.

News Behind the News
l ! By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, June 4 Is Hitler at the end
of his fighting rope? Is the big break in
the war in Europe a matter weeks or months,
instead of promised years?
. New portents raise three
questions now more seriously
than ever before. The German
radio, for instance, is bleating
a new tune lately claiming
the speechless Mr. Hitler need
not have an offensive this sum
mer in Russia after all, that
the reich has switched to the
defensive completely, that we,
the enemy, must attack.
The Swedish correspondents
It? Germany have been reporting also along thtjt
Una" for the past week, and a Lt Col. Kurt
Dietmar was heard broadcasting from Berlin
(hat nazi blitz-warfare was over and Hitler was
switching to the defensive on all fronts.
Mf you could pin these facts down as a true
Indication of nazi intentions, they would com
prise a development as decisive -as the fall of
Tunisia.
.Only a few weeks ago, Hitler in person was
blatantly advertising to the German people .what
he would do 'to Russia in his next offensive
toil summer. He was accumulating men, planes
and material for it, he said. If his official radio
spokesmen are now correct, he has failed.
i;All through the long winter months, he like
wise kept a bridgehead In the Caucasus at heavy
expense in lives and guns, solely as an offensive
threat, to again try for the oil he failed to reach
last year.
Similarly his preparations along the northern
front have had an offensive character. The way
he has moved his army about this spring sug
gested clearly he would- strike at Moscow, heart
ot sovie power.-
Tunisian Upset
THE theory' that he has given iip hope of hold?
lng any initiative anywhere "can now be sus
tained by one other significant development.
. He kept pushing men and material into the lost
cause in Tunisia right up to uie very end. There
is reason to believe he wanted to hold there
until July, so he would be free of pressure on
that front to organize his summer Russian canv
paign. This loss of Tunisia two months ahead of
his expectations may well have upset his Rus
sian calculations.
There are other good reasons for detecting
a major internal German defeat behind the Ber-
"lin radio's new propaganda line. Swiss and
Swedish correspondents speak of disruption of
nazi industry due to recent bombings.
One has reported that normal execution of
nazi plans is no longer possible. Sub warfare
last offensive stroke of nazi power is reported
to have been broken definitely (by War Mobil-
izer Byrnes). -
For the present, this vital apparent turn of
affairs must be held under a question mark.
But unless Germany shows an offensive in Rus
sia by mid-June, it will be accepted everywhere
as a conclusive fact, which heralded the. final
turn of the war.
Gas Curtailment .
THE revolutionary curtailment of eastern gas
supplies (revolutionary as far as transporta
tion is concerned)' is accented evervwhero, Wr
.as a move to build up. supplies at European
jumping-oii places for the coming invasion. ,
Certainly all the announced non-military ex
cuses have evaporated. The pipeline and rail
road flood breaks were mended long before the
new order cutting the value of coupons to 214
gallons. -
It is probably true that officials have not ef
ficiently managed eastern distribution of what
is left from these new military necessities. Au
thorities connected with the industry have noted
that every time a real famine develops, the gov
ernment finds gas somewhere.
True also, the mismanagement should bring
something like a Baruch committee investiga
tion of the subject, as was done with rubber.
The American Automobile association has rec
ommended this, but the suggestion has gained
little headway, because most authorities hope or
suspect the need for gas in Europe may diminish
.before such a committee could report.-
Senate Talks Eight-Year
Limit on White House Job
; "i By JACK BELL":.
WASHINGTON, June 4' )-
A proposal to limit future presi
dents to eight years in office at
tracted strong democratic and re
publican support in the senate to
day with the prospect that it may
become one of the major talking
points both for and against a
possible fourth term nomination
for President Roosevelt.
Minority backing for the pro
posal a resolution for a con
stitutional amendment came
from Republican Leader McNary

"I think congress should pass
the resolution and submit the
question to the legislatures of
the various states for their con
sideration." Renuhliran Nntinn.
al Committee Chairman Harrison

would be "a great thing for the
nation."
Across the political fence, Sen
ator George (D-Ga.) said he
would support the proposal with
the understanding that it will
not directly affect President
Roosevelt's tenure in office.
"It is sound in nrincinle and
I have alwavs felt that tome mrh

All the thrills of the big top-
acrobats, tight wire walkers,
trapeze stars, trained animal acts,
clowns, jugglers, and the tradi
tional crackerjacks were to be
seen at the opening show in the
armory last night of Polack
Brothers circus. The big show
was brought . here under the
auspices of the Junior chamber
of commerce . and will last
through Sunday - with matinee
performances every day.
Circus fans were thrilled with
Captain Dick Clemens, famous
wild animal trainer, and his lion
act Captain Clemens even had
his ferocious animals tumping
through hoops.. :
Another of the high spots of
the show was the aerialist act
of La Terisita. She had the
crowd on the edges of their seats
with her daring heel and toe
catches hich above the floor and
Without the benefit of a net.
Old-time circus characters that
pleased the little tots as well as
the adults were Md'na and Mary
An, the Indian circus elephants.
ine two elephants were very
well trained and Mona brought
applause when she walked and
turned around on a narrow plank
above the floor.
Clowns had the little folks as
well as the big ones screaming
with delight. Mock weddings, a
mule act, and other amusing in
cidents kept the audience laugh
ing between acts. 4
One of the most amazing per
formances was given by Erich
Thilmore, who had a Juggling
act that had everyone gasping.
Thilmore also let the audience in
on his act by having them throw
rubber balls which he caught
and balanced on a stick held be
tween his teeth. Thilmore ap
peared before the Kiwanis club
and the Elks lodgo Thursday and
his act was declared the best
of its kind ever seen here.
Hubert Castle, "King , of the
Wire Walkers," lived up to his
title by doing anything and prac
tically everything on a high wire.
An especially difficult feat that
he accomplished was a backward
somersault through a hoop
which he held while on the tight
wire.
The trained animal acts were
especially good, with two bears
that performed on bicycles, and
a troup of dogs and ponies that
put on a little circus all their
own. Even dog clowns were in
cluded. Horses, under the direction of
Carlos Carreon, Mexico's great
est horseman and trainer, show
ed amazing intelligence. The
dancing horses were especially
good.
Guests of the Junior chamber
ot commerce and the Tulelake
Growers association were the 71
Mexican laborers now at the
farm labor supply center near
Tulelake.
Also attending tne snow last
night were the employes of Kal
pine Lumber company, Weyer
hacuser Timber company, and
Big Lakes Box company.

VENUS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) The loveliness of
the planet Venus in our June
western sky makes one under
stand why those remarkable in
tellectuals, the ancient Greeks,
named it for their Goddess of
Love. One grasps, too, how Na
poleon, seeing it broad daylight,
superstitiously could have felt it
was a good omen.
Should not young folks be
taught to know the thrill of such
inexpensive joys? These are in
creased by observation, through
even a fairly good glass. Many
of them do not know Venus is
sometimes "full," sometimes
crescent like our moon. Their
pleasure further will be in
creased by reading about Venus
in some good modern astronomy,
such as pages 120-138 in "Story
of Astronomy" by Draper and
Lockwood, curators in the Hay
den Planetarium.
