HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON Jun I, 1943 PAGE TWO (Mir PROGRAM HIT BY GRANGERS EUGENE, June WV-Morton Tompkins, Oregon Stale Grange muter, and Ray W. Gill, chair man of the National Grange ex ecutive committee, today joined National Master Albert S. Goss in strongly criticizing the OPA price subsidy program. The two officials, here for the 70th annual state grange meet ing, declared the OPA's program "directly contributes to Inflation by further increasing the pur chasing power of the high in come group a purchasing power which already is in ex cess of the amount of consumer goods available." "The rollback price program is in reality a consumer subsidy coming at a time when consumer Income is the highest in our his tory," they said in a joint state ment. "Washington Confuses" At the same convention. Gov ernor Earl Snell declared that confusion brought on by regula tion and directive issued from Washington, D. C, "3000 miles way" have added to the prob lems of the farmer. Noting that farmers' problems have been numerous and com plex during the emergency, the governor said: These regula tions and directives In several in stances have been composed by persons who have been none too familiar with what the farmers problems are all about, or com posed by persons who have be come confused In following the diagram of direction on how to use an executive desk." Loyalty Praised" Snell praised farmers for their loyalty and patriotism, and gave them credit for fully recognizing the additional responsibilities placed on their shoulders. "The farmer realizes the first line of battle can extend not one foot farther than the supply and food line that go to maintain front line forces," he said. The governor indicated that the farm labor situation would be met this year with virtually the same plan used last year. He praised officials of the state em ployment service, the extension service and the manpower com mission in developing this Ore gon plan which has been adopt ed by many other states. He pointed out that the present con tract agreement between the ex tension and employment services of Oregon was the first to be Our Stock of BOOTS - SHOES la Large and Well-Assorted In Buck Famous Makes as Nunn-Bush, Edgerton ana' Carter's DRESS SHOES Jefferson and Chippewa LOGGERS uck-Hecht and Hyers COWBOY BOOTS Use Tour No. 17 Stamp Before June 15 Drew's Manstore 783 Mala for health . . . too . . . it takes TEAM WORK to win!

Heuvel reminded council members of the city ordinance prohibiting public dances on Sun day, and asked if they wished any exceptions made. Council members decided that the ordinance should apply in ail cases. W. -O. Smith, member of the property committee, requested that his name be withdrawn from that committee, since he is also a member of the bond committee. His name was withdrawn, and no one was chosen to fill his place on the committee. A letter from A. A. Soule was read to the council, asking that a hole Division street be filled, suggesting that dumping of dirt from other haulings be used to fill the hole. Frank Howard, acting engineer during the time of City Engineer E. A. Thomas' illness, estimated that about 200 feet of gravel would be needed to fill the hole, and said that material from other haulings could be used for that purpose. He was authorized by the council to see that this was done. A meeting, of the planning committee will be held at 7:30 Wednesday, instead of Tuesday, as previously announced. Carrier Damages Portland Bridge PORTLAND, Ore., June 8 W) The Morrison street bridge, a downtown span over the Willam ette river, came out second best today in a brush with an air craft escort carrier. The carrier struck the bridge while being maneuvered down stream by two tugs. The navy reported only slight damage to the ships superstructure, but Bridge Foreman J. H. Richmond said the bridge might have to be closed several days. signed under the new govern ment program. Touching on future demands upon agriculture, when farmers will be called upon to feed many nations of the world, Snell said marketing and specialized agri cultural problems would come along with these demands. He urged that the agriculture de partment be more than a licens ing and regulatory body and per form outstanding service to the farmers and the nation. FOR DRUGS Draa Mara" Phone 4814 Away!

We pre pared to win this war by hard fighting and,, if necessary, by hard fighting alone." Napoleon defeated the Prus sians at Jena October 14. 1806. Other points made by Mr. Churchill to the cheering com mons in his first long review since February 11 were these: 1. "Taking some of the weight off Russia and giving more speedy and effective aid to China . , . are never absent tor one moment from our thoughts and aims." He expressed regrets that no recent conference had yet been arranged with Marshal Stalin. 2. "The might of America is deployed far over the Pacific and is laying an ever stronger grip on the outlying defenses of Japan and offering every moment to the Japanese fleet the supreme challenge of sea power." 3. That no pressure was exert ed to bring the French together. 4. That allied troops and com manders were eager for "the most intense and violent" attack on the axis. 5. That the American second corps in Tunisia captured 33,000 Germans and 4000 Italians. Brit ish first army casualties were 23.500 and the eighth army cas ualties since crossing from Tri politania were 11.500. Only 638 enemy troops escaped, mostly by air. Immediately after speaking, Mr. Churchill went to Bucking ham palace to have lunch and report to the king. Nasi Reaction The German radio in mid-afternoon referred briefly to the Churchill broadcast, giving most attention to his remarks about the coming amphibious opera tions and to his figures on Brit ish casualties in North Africa. It made no mention whatever of the much larger axis losses. Warning against over-confidence, Churchill told commons that much hard fighting lay ahead before final victory could be achieved. - He made it plain, that plans laid in Washington called for "the most intense and violent" attack upon the axis and referred to "operations now impending in the European theatre" as if they were a foregone conclusion Eager For Attack The plans, he indicated, em brace all aspects of the global war, but he reported particularly that allied commanders in North Africa were "resolute in the plans they have made" and that their troops are eager for the at tack at the earliest moment. Churchill referred to the Tuni sian victory as one of the great est military disasters that had ever befallen Germany com parable to the nazi route at Stal- imrrarinnf1 ul4 (har. w.. .. doubt Hitler had expected his' armies in North Africa to hold out until August. Declaring that the "Germans seem to be staking their hopes on the U-boat war," he asserted that allied successes in overcom ing this menace may well prove the "fateful milestone" in the battle to smash Hitler's power. And he gave assurance that nothing can turn Britain, the United States and soviet Russia "from our endeavor to accom plish the complete destruction of our foes by bombing from the air in addition to all other means." The prime minister alluded to the far eastern phases of the struggle by declaring that "the steady wearing down of Ger man and Japanese air forces is proceeding remorselessly." Admirals Hold War Plan Conference WASHINGTON. June 8 (Pi- Admiral Ernest J. King has con ferred on the west coast with Admiral Chester W.

J I THlYSml i I OPA Plans to Depress Price On Vegetables (Continued From Page One) told Gilbert that "when the OPA gets through with this it will have benefited Just one group and nobody else. "Your whole approach Is wrong, he contended. "If we don't roll-back the cost of living," retorted Gilbert, "we'll have to permit compen sating increases in wage rates." "I don't see that at all," said Taft. "That's all statistics, not facts." Taft charged that OPA had wasted effort by "trying to con trol the prices of thousands of products instead of about 100 of some importance." "We've failed to stabilize con stantly," acknowledged Gilbert. "But until we do that we're go ing to have a creeping inflation. We're ' threatened now with a rise of two, three and even five per cent a month in the cost of living." "I must say that is due to gross inefficiency on the part of OPA," said Taft. "The whole adminis tration is not in accord with the price control act. A difference of two cents a pound on meat for Instance isn't going to affect the situation a whole lot." C. M. Elklnton. OPA food price executive, was asked by McClellan to explain the agency's authority for the sub sidies. "That's not pertinent," advised Senator Tobey (R-N.H.). "For the last several years these things have been thrust down our throats." Elkinton explained that "part of the determination" was made by James F. Byrnes, war mobil ization chief, when he was eco nomic stabilization director. Gorki Hit Twice By Nazi Planes In Night Attacks MOSCOW, June 8 (TV-Official disclosure that the German air force raided the industrial center of Gorki, 250 miles east of Moscow on the Volga river, for two nights running empha sizes the belief of observers here that the conflict is now taking on more of the character of a war of attrition with the ero hour near. (The Germans announced last night in a Berlin broadcast that they had raided Gorki for the third successive night and had set large fires with 500 tons of explosives and 100,000 lncen diaries). It was at Gorki where Ford engineers helped the Russians build their great automobile fac tory, which since the war has been converted into a giant arma ments center.

"Wo promise to any perpe trators o( such crimes full and swift retaliation in kind and I feel obliged now to warn the axis armies and the axis peoples in Europe and Asia, that the ter rible consequences of any uso of these inhumane methods on their part will be brought down swift ly and surely upon their heads."

It is a spot o( dpsert jutting up from the Mediterranean and the most southerly of Italy's outlying de fense positions. Although it once figured as a secondary Italian air base, it has not been a recent objective of allied air attacks. By JOHN COLBURN STOCKHOLM. June 8 (aP) The Berlin correspondent of the Stockholm Tidnlngcn quoted nazl military circles as saying that German officers must count from hour to' hour on an allied Invasion. These circles, he said, assert ed they were depending on a powerful submarine fleet to aid in wrecking the invaders' land ing operations. He said these German mili tary sources told him they were watching for allied blows against Belgium, the northern French coast, southern France, Italy and the Balkans. South Attack 8een The Berlin correspondent of the Svcnska Dagbladet at the same time quoted Dr. Kurt Pseisser, German military anal yst, as saying that- the first at tack would come from the Med iterranean since, he said, the allies have three well-drilled and excellently-equipped armies two British and one American and a reserve of French troops ready for action. Germans were quoted as say ing that the allies were growing stronger, could not bo underesti mated and likely would engi neer a "clever invasion plan. Everything Ready They asserted, according to the Swedish press accounts, that an attack could not be a com plete surprise as everything was ready for defense, but the mo ment of invasion and the points of landing might create a rela tive surprise for a short period, The German high command, these advices said, was expect ing diversified attacks and was concentrating main bodies of axis troops inland, rather than spreading them along the coast, so forces could be shifted as needed.

Small landing boats carrying 120 men each would proceed under the barrage cover toward the coast, carrying some 50,000 men In the first attack wave. Other boats carrying light weapons and smull tanks would be In the first wave. As soon as the attack was discovered, the Germans would concentrate Ubont packs, which were presumed to be stationed around possible Invasion areas waiting for an allied blow, and serial power in an effort to wreck the landing plans. ' The Germans were quoted as estimating that only 13,000 of tha first 50,000 troops could be landed to establish a bridge head. Wool Stockpiles at Record Height, Say American Growers WASHINGTON Jim.
