Today's Roundup

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"

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. Company B meets every
Monday evening at 7:30 and Com
pany C meets everv Wednesday
evening at 7:30, both companies
with headquarters in the armory.

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." .

BOMBARDMENT
TAKES ISLAND
(Continued From Page One)
pounded Pantolleria Into submis
sion. 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.

IT'S DIFFERENT
THESE DAYS
Vast changes in driving
habits have come as a result
of wartime regulations.
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.
