FRANK JENKINS tutor Today's Roundup Bv MALCOLM EPLEY THE logger feed question, which came to the fore Urt weekend. is one of vital importance In relation to the maintenance of high ipeed s lumber production In this area. t Nature of their work makes tfsTH lumberjacks heavy eaters, a rf f ' 1" fAct which the 1; -7(Cl I well to recognize as did the 4 V '. 3 1 1 t!r,lr. Hnnrri from the' s .4 nl su tnnA V ." J T - gram. There is no indication that an attempt was made to main tain a peace-time food supply on the tables of the cook houses in the Klamath country EPLEY logging camps. That was not proposed by the loggers, the operators, or the local rationers. All recognized that a reduction of processed foods as well as meats and fats was in order. The extent of the reduction was determined by a survey of normal food consumption and careful consideration of what was essential to maintenance of efficient work in the logging Operations. The local rationing board, taking the word of the government and everybody else that lumber is a vital war material, then adopted a policy that would keep the logs rolling to the mills. The cut in rationed foods" was between 20 and 25 per cent of normal. If we are cor rectly informed, the reduction would be 80 per cent If the OPA mandate to "get in line" Is followed. Policies of the Klamath rationing board have been to take Into consideration the realities of each local situation, and to act accordingly. That, it seems to us, is the ideal way of con ducting the rationing program. The thing to do is to put responsible and intelligent citizens on these boards, and give them the authority to handle the program as the local circumstances dictate. Intolerable inflexibility will result from any other system. The logger feed question may. prove to be the test as to whether OPA is going to let local boards act in this sensible manner. Whereas there has been general satisfaction with lumber Jack meals in this area, dissatisfaction has de veloped elsewhere where boards have followed the OPA dictates. Now the OPA is demanding that the Klamath board get "in line" with the policies that have bred dissatisfaction in the other districts. The protests that are going up elsewhere. The War Today By DeWrrT MacKENZIE SO at long last the Big Voice with the feet of clay has toppled from the pedestal which he hewed for himself back in those trying days after the last World war when the people of Italy and other European countries were ready to accept any attractive political nostrum in an effort to cure their ills. Mussolini's downfall is a sensation but not a surprise. No man with a soul so small that It would rattle in a peanut-shell, and inflicted with such short-sightedness as inspired his evil manner of entrance into the present war, could hope to survive. The self-styled Duce, although possessing many accomplishments, never has been a big man. His chief assets have been a striking personality and the greatest gift of showman ship since Barnum. He is one of history's no torious fakers. What To Expect THE circumstances of the dictator's collapse are such as to support the belief that Italy Is preparing to jettison fascism and make over tures to the allies for peace. The fact that the new military regime under Badoglio says the war will continue doesn't necessarily mean that surrender isn't contemplated. This method of approach is calculated to save face and provide a possible bargaining point. Also the Italian government may have to proceed cautiously so as to avoid a display of irresponsible vindictiveness by Hitler. However, whether Italy surrenders voluntar ily in the near future or tries to battle on, her race is all but run. She can't hold out for long. With the unhappy country in a state of near collapse, the great question is what the effect Nippos Make No Move to Reinforce Kiska Forces By WILLIAM L. WORDEN HEADQUARTERS ALASKA DEFENSE COMMAND, July 26 VP) The Japs apparently plan no attempt to reinforce the belea gured garrison on Kiska island and indications are they may be preparing to sell Kiska as they did Attu at the price of a sin gle garrison, no more. Only one attempt has been made to get surface vessels to Kiska since the Attu battle and that was a flat failure. United States planes caught four trans ports, sank a couple of them and sent the others running back Westward. Raiders returning from the Paramushiro base report there re no great concentrations of Japanese power there only a few transports and apparently not enough air power to beat off our bombers, let alone give as sistance to the Kiska garrison. The least the Japanese could have done if they intended to help the Kiska garrison was to concentrate, ships and planes at I 1 tamporan eanblsaMea f tht Vrrahi ! aM tha Klamatb Kava. rualuhaal iwj aftamooa ait.-p Suadaj at gapaaa4a and Ptna itmtl, Klamath Falls, Orcfoo. bf tha lUra'd Publ unlet Oo. and Ua KUaiata Hewa Publlablag Oompajij Inland aa aaeovd data aaattar at tha poatofflea ol Klaualk FaUa.

The best shape that can take will be to put the matter in the hands of responsible local boards and permit them to handle it as local conditions require. a a Frank Ira Whit WHILE this writer was away and not in a position to comment on current local happenings, the unfortunate death of Frank Ira White occurred in Portland. We read the news in a distant paper, and with sorrow, for Frank Ira White was a good citizen, a faithful friend, and one of the pioneers who had con tributed much that was constructive to the Klamath community. W, Claude Adams, writing in the Oregonfon, made the following comments about Mr. White: "He was a patriotic, high type of citizen, having the welfare of his country at heart-s-an intelligent, informed and conscientious pa triot . . . His high sense of honor and integrity and unswerving devotion to principle made him a man who would not compromise on any ques tion. His was a fine personality; to him was given a pleasant social nature that easily made him genial and companionable, and because of his friendliness and his many good qualities, his personal friends and brothers among the newspaper profession and the Masonic organiza tions will miss him." We subscribe in full to everything thus said by a man who must have known Mr. White well. a a a News Break WE are pleased and rather proud today that the news story about the forthcom ing change in the Tulelake WRA center .making it an establishment exclusively for so called disloyal evacuees broke first in The Herald and News. The story appeared in our paper last Friday, two days before an announce ment was made from Denver by Dillon Myer, national head of WRA. . It was logical enough that the news should break first at Tulelake and Klamath Falls. But so much news of this nature is now handed out and controlled by bureau heads at some national headquarters that the incident rates in the "unusual" class. What happened was that The Herald and News editorial staff followed up a rumor to an official source, and that the administration of the Tulelake center responded frankly and fairly to a request for Information. OPA would do rntlnninff nro - ' will be on other nations, especially Germany. There can be no doubt that the moral reaction will be far reaching. It cannot help but be a tremendous shock to the morale of the other axis countries, and it will draw the neutrals closer to the allies. From a military standpoint Hitler presumably discounted tht,, loss of Italy some time ago. He had squeezed all the juice he could out of that turnip when North Africa slipped away from him. However, If and when the allies have taken over Italy it will provide a convenient base for possible operations in the Balkans, and that's something for the fuehrer to worry about. Balkan Reaction THE repercussion amongst Hitler's Balkan satellites is likely to be bad for him'. Al ready there is disaffection in Rumania, Bulgaria and Hungary, and the Italian debacle' inevi tably must strengthen the revolt against the reich. In the case of Bulgaria it should not be overlooked that King Boris is the son-in-law of King Victor Emmanuel, and the Bulgarian ruler's views are likely to be heavily influenced by the Italian monarch, and the position of Italy. Equally to the point is the fact that most of the axis troops now in the Balkans are Italian. So are those in the strategic Dodecanese islands in the Aegean sea. Surrender of Italy and withdrawal of her forces from these zones certainly would draw the bung in Hitler's Balkan barrel. Naturally a breach in the fuehrer's Balkan defenses would have an immediate and power ful effect on his position in Russia. As I have pointed out before, it would create a great threat to the right wing of his last battle-front against which the Reds are flinging themselves with fresh fury. Paramushiro and await weather which would allow them to rush toward Kiska. This they have not done, al though ther is always the chance that ships or planes will be brought north suddenly, direct from the main part of Japan without a stop at Paramushiro. That, however, would be a desperation move. Mills Charged With Slackening of Work GRANTS PASS, Ore., July 26 UP) The Oregon - Washington CIO Plywood and Door Workers' council charged yesterday that a number of lumber mill opera tors were not working plants at capacity and demanded an Inves tigation by the war manpower commission. Other resolutions at the semi annual conference condemned the 10-hour day for war plants as inefficient and recommended that non-profit restaurants be established in war plants.

WHEAT CHICAGO, July 26 W Po litical developments in Italy cre ated nervous selling in grains to day and prices retreated sharp ly, rye leading the decline with losses averaging about 2 cents at times. Ousting of Mussolini was , interpreted as bringing ultimate! peace a little closer, with the ef- i feet of such a development on grains uncertain. Receipts of wheat in the cash market were substantial, with a large percentage of the supplies composed of spring wheat. There were reports more boats may be available to ship Canadian feed grains into this country. A Kan sas City trade journal said the United States last month bought 110,000,000 bushels of Canadian! grain for feed for future ship-! menta here. ! Closing prices were at about! the day's lows. Wheat was down li-liic, September $1.43 1, oats! were off 1-1 Jc, September 68i-i 68c, and rye showed losses of 11 2ic, September $1,031-1.

July 26 P) Financial markots today suf fered a subntaiitinl reaction us the downfall of Mussolini and other international develop ments brought out heavy profit taking on the lengthy price up swing which many believed had partially discounted ulti mate victory. Stocks in the war category weakened at the start in active dealings, rails, steels and air crafts tumbling 1 to around 5 points before supporting bids arrived. The feeling that selling may have been overdone helped the list partly toward equilibrium by mid-day and, while the paco slowed appreciably, ' extreme losses wcro trimmed or halved in numerous instances near the close. Issues with a peace rating breasted the current through out and scattered favorites mun aged to emerge with modest gains. Transfers wero around 1,500,000 shares, nearly one third coming out in tha first hour. Prominent on the slide were Santa Fc, Great Northern, Ches spcuke and Ohio, U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Chrysler, Scars Roe buck, Montgomery Ward, J. 1. Case, Douglas Aircraft. United Aircraft, Sperry, Wcstlnghouse, Allied Chemical, DuPont, North American and International Nickel. International Telephone was active on the upside and new highs for the year or longer were recorded for White Rock and preferreds of American Power and Light. Corporate bond were hit al most as hard as "war Infant" stocks although dollar loans of the axis-occupied countries turned strong on the idea that the "beginning of the end" was in sight.
