AIRLINE APPLIES
(Continued From Page One)
Chico, Bend, The Dalles and
Portland.
Word of the application reach
ed here late Monday.
Western, oldest existing air
line in the nation, has served
the west coast for almost two
decades. Headquarters are in Los
Angeles.
Matter for Talk '
Just how CAB will look upon
the application is a matter for
discussion. Two other appllca
tlons sought for this area, were
turned down by CAB in August
1941. During the month of Oc
tober, 1940, both United Airlines
and Oregon-Airways sought en
trance to the Klamath territory.
United proposed a shuttle ser
vice between Klamath Falls and
Medford, and this CAB rejected.
Oregon Airways was rejected fol
lowing a hearing before CAB.
The decisions were handed down
almost a year later.
The civil aeronautics board re
quires a certificate, of conven
ience and necessity which will
prove that the lines are necessary
to the public welfare and that the
lines can operate at a profit. It
was CAB's contention that neith
er United nor Oregon Airways
could meet the requirements.
News to Chamber
Western's announcement of an
application was news to Klam
ath county chamber of commerce
officials. This is the first indi
cation that Western was inter
ested in this city.
Robert O. Sproat, chairman of
the chamber of commerce avia
tion committee, said that "Klam
ath Falls would welcome the
service of Western Airlines as
this community ha long been in
need of such a connection by air
with San Francisco and Port
land."
"Our chamber of commerce
has maintained that only through
service would be practicable to
Klamath Falls, and our conten
tion has been borne out in con
ferences with government offi
cials, Sproat stated Tuesday. '
Leo Dwerlkotte, executive vice
president of Western Air, said
the proposed route, in addition
to giving Klamath Falls air con
nections, would serve the Inland
Empire of Oregon by air for the
first time, as well as provide ad
ditional service between the met
ropolitan areas of San Francisco.
Portland and Seattle.
Recently CAB approved three
additional schedules for West
ern s 1402-mile route, including
ram springs and San Bernar
dino, two important war expan
sion areas, and El Centro in
southern California. Other cities
on Westerns route are Long

west slightly before Canadians
drove in from the east, it was
reported.
Axis Regrouping
Indications multiplied that
axis tank columns were re
grouping for a powerhouse blow
at American positions at Gcla
bay. Important enemy troop
movements southward from the
interior of the island were not
ed by aerial reconnaissance.
Palazzola is 20 miles west of
Syracuse and its capture mark
ed the farthest point of advance
inland by the invading forces.
Rogusa is 12 miles southwest of
Palazzola. Both are prizes of
great strategic value, being
junctions for virtually all the
main and secondary highways
in southeastern Sicily.
, Effects oi Loss
Loss of the two cities will de
prive defending axis forces of
much of their mobility in their
desperate efforts to head off the
many-pronged allied offensive.
Ragusa is in the mountains and
gives the forces in possession
clear control of the surrounding
countryside.
The capture of Augusta was
preceded by a heavy bombard
ment from allied warships,
which stood off and lobbed high
explosives into the town. Mine
sweepers cleared sea approaches
to it
' Details of the new landings
near Catania were not given im
mediately, but it was assumed
they were made by unit of the
veteran British eighth army
which originally attacked that
side of the island.
Allied losses in the capture
of Augusta were officially de
scribed as slight Port and har
bor installations were said to
have been undamaged.
General Taken
General Achilles Da vet, eom
mander of the 206th Italian
coastal division, was the first
ranking enemy officer to be
captured since the invasion of
Sicily began last Saturday.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTH AFRICA, July 13
VP) It was disclosed today that
enemy , tanks broke through
American lines and penetrated
to the beaches in a counterat
tack in southern Sicily yester
day before they were hurled
back and forced to retreat.
The American forces regroup
ed and struck back savagely to
seal the gap. A considerable
number of enemy tanks were
reported to have been knocked
out.
Nazi troops so far encoun
tered were reported to have
fought furiously in every en
gagement in contrast to half
hearted Italian opposition.
Pour Italian lieutenant col
onels walked into the allied
lines and surrendered.
Observers believed further
enemy counterattacks against-1
the American lines were likely.
Republicans Should
Borrow Candidate,
Says Senator Aiken
WASHINGTON, July 13 UP)
Senator Aiken (R-Vt.) suggested
today that the republicans con
sider "borrowing" a democrat.
Senator Gillette of Iowa, as their
candidate for the presidency.
"If the party should see fit
to nominate Senator Gillette,"
Aiken told an interviewer, "the
rank and file of the people would
have a candidate."
Asserting he was not attempt
ing to "nominate anyone" him
self, he added that Gillette rep
resented "the type of .man we
should be looking for."

JT has been so far unwise even
A to think about what will hap
pen after the war because all
our thinking has had to be con
centrated on FIGHTING the
war. So far as Europe Is con
cerned, the time has come when
it is safe to begin to do a littlo
thinking about after the war
problems.
HTHE Pacific war . Is another
matter entirely. In the Pa
cific, we've been fighting with
only one hand, devoting the bulk
of our efforts to Europe. But
even in the Pacific it is becoming
possible to make some fairly de
pendable guesses.
It is beginning to seem prob
able that the Jap has bitten oft
all he want to try to swallow
and that what he wants now Is
to hold what he has instead of
trying to bite off more.
We've been puzzled by his
relative inactivity. It now ap
pears likely that behind the
fighting fronts he has been fev
erishly active organizing the em
pire he has seized and preparing
to defend it.
One can now guess that the
Jap's purpose la to make it so
tough for us in Asia that after
licking Hitler we ll tire of the
fighting and make some sort of
compromise that will enable the
little yellow man to hold and
CHEW a sizeable part of the
mouthful he has bitten off.
