MALCOLM BPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY INTERESTING Instance wherein there was evidence of fear of reprisal against parent tor expressions of opinion by their service men sons nave come 10 our hcii tion recently. tj'S" In one case, parents asKea that the newspaper withhold a letter they believed their LW-W son intended to . write on a ZC A$ subject Mtnirning compara- ' ttve wage ex civilian womers I I , Y. kmw&4 caralMi Tt I V fs.. I I WM lankly explained that the I V fl father might suffer some sort In of reDrisal from fellow work- EPLEY ers if his boy's letter appear ed in the paper. They had heard the boy might write, and were worried about it A labor loader denied emphatically reports about town that a recent labor . disturbance here was due, in part, to a letter written to the paper on a labor topic by the service man son of a supervisory employe. But that case seemed to have aroused the concern of the parents who visited us .later. How far this sort of thing may go in stifling free expression is a matter for inter esting speculation. a a a a ALONG this same line, a friend brought us a copy of a V-letter. from a man in the South Pacific, in which the soldier spoke with extreme bitterness against John L. Lewis and the coal miners. "It doesn't help my morale a bit to hear about them strikes," wrote the fighting man, a former resident of Klamath Falls. "They evidently don't believe there is a war on. I'd gladly swap places with the lowest paid man in the whole outfit" a a a Lew Flier THERE have been a number of reports re cently of planes in trouble over some part of this area, but no definite news has followed. A sensational incident of the kind occurred short time ago at the Diamond lake camp of the Big Lakes Box company. Men at the ,camp reported that a four motored service plane, obviously plagued by engine trouble, swooped low over the camp and actually knocked off the top of a radio aerial about 40 feet high. Everybody ran for cover as the big plane came over. The pilot guided the crippled ship out of sight along the railroad right-of-way, still only a few feet above the ground. ' There was a rumor that a safe landing had been made somewhere In the north end of the county, but this was never confirmed. The recent appearance of a number of night flying planes over Klamath Falls aroused much interest and speculation. This was apparently a group of planes in a practice flight from a large airport in the northern part ot the state. There are indications that the lack of lights on the Klamath air field came to official at tention as a result of this ' flight, and steps have been taken to remedy that situation. a a a e ' ' OPA Change THE reorganization of the local OPA offices has been completed with the appointment of Lee Jacobs as administrative head of the field station which will replace the district office. Mr. Jacobs is a long-time resident of Klamath Falls who enjoys local confidence. He joined the OPA staff when the district office was set up here some months ago. Change of the status of the office here from a district headquarters to a field station en tailed reduction of the staff by about half. OPA officials expressed some concern over the em ployment fate of employes, but later said that all who wished to stay with OPA had been given jobs. There need be little worry on that score. Local employment can surely absorb as many OPA staffers as wish to remain here and take other work. SIDE GLANCES Advertising Roundup By DELBERT ADDISON THE traditional greeting to a farmer it sup posed to be, "Hi, Si, bow's crops?" The fellow calling on business people falls into the habit of saying, "How's business?" There are any number of stock answers to this stock greeting. Such as, "The last we had was good" . . . "Lousy" . . . "Had any more we'd hava a runaway" . . . "What busi ness?" . . . and to on. Getting down to what prompted any of these spon taneous replies, you'll find that at any time, under any ADDISOlt conditions, there is always something good on the business outlook, and always something to cause worry a a s New Tax a Business Worry THE current worry was voiced by Walt Wles en danger the other day. The question: What will happen to business when the 20 withholding tax starts biting into income next month? Immediately, it can't result in anything else than cutting down on the amount of pocket money we have left And, of course, it's the avowed purpose of the government to do just that to cut down on the abundant amount of pocket money that is bidding up the price of scarce merchandise. , On the other hand, it immediately will do away with the black spots that come four times a year. (Don't forget, you DO have to pay an installment on your income tax by June 15.) From an advertising standpoint, we know that there are a certain number of businesses that hold back on their advertising every time a scare comes along and there are others that keep sawing wood, and going ahead, through thick and thin. a a a a Klamath Income Increases rESE businesses that keep going ahead are the ones that base their operations on a long-range outlook, and shoulder their way through current obstacles. We know, for Instance, that 1936 was a ban ner year In Klamath. The bumper potato crop, added to other agricultural production and lumber cut, brought a basic Income in 1942 of over $24,000,000. We also know that this figure went up to $40,000,000 tn 1942, an increase of 64. No one knows how much wages have gone up in this time, but the increase has been consider able. With this as the basic condition of the basin, business just CAN'T go to pot overnight. a a a a Nearly Double the Average A E keep hearing stories about wild war W boom conditions elsewhere, but it was only a few days ago that we carried a news story which showed that Klamath's per capita income in 1942 was nearly double the average for the nation as a whole. These figures, from the research department of the Oregon Mutual Life Insurance company, showed the average spendable Income for every man, woman and child in Klamath Falls was $1568, as compared to an $871 average for the United States. It looks like there will be a lot of spend able income in Klamath, even with 20 taken out a a a a Zoot-Suiters OVERHEARD In Mac's hamburger emporium across the street: The subject had drifted around to the zoot suiter fracas. The elderly woman on the stool at my left (later seen guiding a blind music'an down the street) spoke up. "My son, a soldier on leave, two sailors and myself went to a USO dance. (This was in Los Angeles.) Zoot-sulters were hanging around making a play for the service men. "One of the sailors drifted away from, us. Some zoot-suiters took him out and bought him a beer. He woke up in an alley next morning with a splitting headache and minus hit $250 sock. "When we saw him again and he told us the story, he said not to say anything about it, that things would be taken care of." The root-suiter riots are finally beginning to make sense. (And I'm still glad Klamath Falls isn't a war-boom town.) With the Men on Guard Would you as a true citizen of these United States hesitate to do anything that would help win this war. Nol That is not the attitude of the true citizen, weve got a war to win and we will win it simply by everyone doing some little part aside from their dally work. Sure you're tired at times, we all are, but we just can't be tired all the time; don't think for a minute the boys at the fronts aren't tired too, they'd like a rest or a show or just anything other than what they are doing, but that don't make any difference, they continue to carry on with out recreation or rest and. with restricted privileges until the battle is won. ' Our battle as true citizens Is a complete victory in this war and we will have a complete victory If we all do our parts in helping the boys at the fronts. There Is a place for all of us in the civilian forces of this war as members of citizens defense corps. Make your own choice, pick your war activity and get into it, get started today, you'll be proud of the insignias and sym bols of these various organiza tions and what they stand for, their activities and what they represent in this war. If you are between the ages of 16 and 60, a citizen of the United States, own a 12-gauge shot gun or a rifle and can spare two and a half hours a week you meet the requirements of the Oregon state guard.

MOSCOW. June 12 &i The 700-plane raid hurled against German air fields along the stirring Russian front Thursday night was the greatest soviet aerial drive of the war and it destroyed 150 nazi aircraft and spread havoc on runways, hang ars, fuel dumps ana ammuni tion depots, Russian dispatches said today. The nrevlous Russian record attack was mounted with 520 planes against Orel a few days ago. Tn tha Russian news agen cy, said that a considerable fighter force attempted to in torrent the Russian Dlanes. but while Russian fighters fought them off the big bombers went on to their objectives. Ten eiwmv aircraft were shot down, Tass said, adding that 19 soviet planes failed to return. ' (The Germans resorted In thai, Hrnariract eammuniaue re corded by the Associated Press that fighting on tt eastern front "was livelier again yes terday," and said that fighting had erupted on the Orel sector with the Russians springing an attack. Berlin asserted the Rus sians were thrown back). NEW YORK, June 12 VP) Buell Maben, regional adminis trator of the food distribution administration of the U. S. de partment of agriculture, estimat ed today that at least $90,000 worth of potatoes shipped here from the south during the past week had rotted in transit be cause they were shipped with out refrigeration. Maben said that he believed the office of defense transporta tion order restricting use of re frigeration cars was traceable to the need for ice to keep large quantities of milk refrigerated in southern army camps. "In the week during which the condition has existed," Ma ben said, "New York City has received about 1200 carloads. It is fair to say that at least 5 per cent of those shipments have spoiled because of no refrigera tion." .

Many Prisoners An official account of the cap ture of Pantolleria today said the capitulation was effected pre cisely according to plan and that more than 10,000 prisoners, ap parently not a German among them, had been token. Three thousand of the prisoners were being transported to the African mainland this afternoon. so tor as was known, not a single casualty occurred among tha allied landing force, made up of the famed British first divi sion which includes many vetor ans ot Dunkerque. As the troops swarmed ashore from their landing boats they wore greeted by white flogs and they had difficulty In finding senior Italian officers whose troops were surrendering en masse. The concluding phase of the capture of Pantellerla and the Initial blows at Lampedusa re sulted In the knocking down of 14 enemy aircraft yesterday, compared with the loss of three allied planes. American Marauders led off with the first smashing attack on Lampedusa almost before the dust and smoke of the assault on much stronger Pantellerla had settled. Other allied planes kept up the bombardment until nightfall, when the RAF's Wellingtons, the night workhorses, took up the shuttle of destruction.

Cars that used to take to the street every day now msjr sit anujed in the garage from one week's end to the next, or eveo longer. Other cars are getting a lot more regular use than before. The 'set is that every car, no matter where or how ifs driven, needs to be watched over more care fully these days.'Msny things that once seemed hardly worth doing become very important when you realize that your preieot car may have to last yon two or three times as long as usual. That's why It is a wise move to make sure that usual servicing habits are really fitted to actual cur rent driving circumstances. It costs nothing to talk things oter with a good dealer, and can save much. H. E. Hauger B U I C K 1330 Main St. FOR RENT 2 rooms with show er, garage, partly furnished. $15.
