But the Klamath dairymen wouldn't talk about strikes, they re jected a proposal for demanding 11.10 instead of $1 for their buttenat, and tney mmcaiea they want to do their part In producing a vital food commodity if they can stop their losses. We know what the OPA means when it says it can't take any action on "hearsay evidence." but we are personally acquainted with some of the men who reported heavy losses in oper ating their herds, and we know their word is good. Furthermore, there are concrete examples of herd reduction which must convince that the dairy business has lost its profit attraction. For instance, one dairyman near Klamath Falls two years ago was milking 120 cows. Today, he is T"i'fci"g 40, and he js considering reducing his herd still further. That simply wouldn't have happened if the dairy business was paying a reasonable profit. To the public, which depends upon an ade quate flow of milk In the Klamath district, it is a matter of Teal concern that there is no in centive for dairymen to produce that flow. The incentive, in fact, just now lies in the other direction. Dairymen can sell their cows at virtually their own price, and they can sell their feed, if they have it, at a price which makes feeding it to their dairy cows unat tractive. There are other lines of agriculture, or other work, that promise better living than that in which they are'now in. Because of these well-established facts, we do not believe there would be any notable public objection to a moderate and reasonable increase in the price of milk. Under other circumstances, we imagine the dairymen would regard their losses more philos ophically. But in a period of intensive govern ment regulation, with their returns actually limited by the government, the dairymen nat urally feel they should get a fair return for their work, or else. Will anything come of the attempt to get the OPA to afford the relief that will prevent the disposal of dairy cows in this district? One man, who is close to the situation, told us today be is very gloomy about the outlook. He fore sees a body blow to dairying here, with cattle continuing to go out of the area. The only hopeful angle, he told us, is that many dairy men are keeping their promising younger stuff, and will have a foundation on which to build back when dairying becomes more attractive as a business. "This It the Army" BECAUSE of some mixup, a Portland paper insists on leaving Klamath's premiere show ing of "This Is the Army" out of the list of Oregon cities participating in this army emerg ency relief benefit. Marshall Cornett, the local chairman, got on the long distance telephone Saturday and corrected this publicity slight. Interesting, in this connection, is the state ment that the showing here will be held in the second largest theatre in the state at which the benefit picture is to be exhibited August 18. The Pelican theatre, with its more than 1600 seats, enjoys that rating, being second only, to the Paramount theatre in Portland among the "premiere" theatres. The army emergency relief, which should benefit tremendously from the many premiere showings of the picture on August 18, is a fund to be drawn upon to give emergency aid to fam ilies of men in the armed services. Throughout America are hundreds of families whose main support was removed when the family earner went into the service of his country. Under those conditions, there are certain to be many emergencies which call for deserving financial aid. That is what this fund is for. The moving picture industry is foregoing any profits on the picture, in order to build this fund, and the public is asked to buy tickets for the premiere showing at above normal prices. Harry M. Warner, of Warner Brothers, in his memorandum to his staff in connection with the picture, said, "I am sure that the injured and sick relatives of a man in uniform are more entitled to the income from this pic ture than is our company." ML Advertising Roundup By DELBEHT ADDISON THE growth of advertising, from its early patent medicine-horse collar- days, always has carried with it a fight for accuracy of state ment and truthful effect. Advertising has become quite clean and above board on the whole. It couldn't have become such an important part of our daily transactions if it hadn't become so gener ally dependable. The big thing in keeping it on the straight and narrow is competition. The advertising of any measurable product or sen-ice HAS to be entirely ADDISON truthful, or it will bounce back on the adver tiser and teach him a lesson. If a grocer advertises large, crisp heads of lettuce and you go in and find little, wilted heads, you're more likely to give him the go by after that than if he had said nothing about them at all. a a a Cigarette Ads Questioned THE various mediums of advertising news papers, magazines, radio, billboards exer cise a control over advertising. And they, with the power to accept or reject, should take it upon themselves individually to reject copy that does not ring true. It's to their own best interests to see that public confidence in adver tising is not broken down. The government, also, through the Federal Trade Commission, holds a rein on advertising claims. The Reader's Digest, in recent editions, has reported FTC actions on cigarette and tooth paste ads. (Products whose differences are not easily measurable.) Lucky Strike with its "among the men who know tobacco best it's Luckies two to one"; and Camel with its "get a lift" testimonials; and Old Gold on Reader's Digest's own testimonial; and Philip Morris with its non-irritating ethy lene glycol (whatever that is) all were raked over the coals. . The tobacco companies may have perfectly logical comebacks. But nevertheless, if FTC action, and Reader's Digest publicity, influence such advertising to put it on more believable grounds, it will be a good thing for the busi ness. From here, it never has seemed that these themes had quite the right ring to them. The old newspaper standby. Chesterfield, came off with a clean bill of health. Maybe the commissioners smoke Chesters and think they DO satisfy. (Oh yes, the commission did object to Chesterfield featuring "a number of deep southern accents" on their radio programs. Lig gett Sc Myers ought to stick to newspapers where words are in type and the accent is your own.) a a a a Digest on Dentifrice THIS month's Digest takes dentifrice ads to the cleaners. Dentifrice, if you don't keep up on such things, is the successor to tooth paste the stuff we all use to polish up the old ivories. Less fortunates use it on "artificial dentures." I can't go along with all the FTC-Reader's Digest fuss over pink tooth brush, gum exer cise, and the like. The facts of the case are that when Colgate first advertised "ribbon den tal cream, that lays flat and doesn't roll off (it's probably been made round, square and triangular, liquid and powder a dozen times since) when this advertising began, we all began to brush our teeth. And we all began to see our dentists oftener. And today most all of us have some kind of teeth to chew those steaks we can't get The debunkers point out that one part of table salt and three parts of baking soda make an inexpensive tooth-cteanlng material. Somehow, one part of table salt and three parts of baking soda never had the oomph to make junior brush his teeth twice a day even with mother's hints that he'd feel pretty funny if his teeth all fell out tomorrow. (And mother had better look out, or the FTC will get her for scare advertising.) No Forest Fires Spotted in Klamath Despite Humidity According to the Klamath forest protective association, there have been no fires in county forests during the past few days, in spite of the pre vailing low humidity. Vera Moore, chairman of Keep Oregon Green committee, points out that this is extreme ly lucky in view of the fact that most fires start during a period of low humidity, and urges con tinued caution to prevent forest fires.' French Troops Ready to Fight ALGIERS, Aug. 14 VP) Gen.

PARALYSIS CASE FOUND IN KLAMATH One ease of infantile paraly sis exists in Klamath county, it was disclosed by Dr. Peter Ro zendal, county health officer, on Saturday. A 28-year-old man, suffering from the disease, is in the coun ty isolation hospital. His home is in the Midland district. Dr. Rozendal said there have been exaggerated reports con cerning the disease in this area. He is preparing an article on in fantile paralysis which win ap pear early next week. Beer Manufacture, Sale Regulation . Matter for States SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14 UP) Regulation of beer manu facture and sale is a matter for the separate states to determine but when the product moves in interstate commerce, it falls un der federal control, an opinion by the U. S. circuit court of ap peals held- today. The ruling was returned yes terday in the case of 20 Pacific coast brewing concerns, four in stitutes and 32 individuals. The defendants, after pleading nolo contendere in federal district court at Seattle to' charges of violating the Sherman anti-trust law by conspiring to fix -beer prices, appealed to the circuit court from the fines imposed between states.

The War Today By DeWITT MtcKENZIE L TO SPEAK ON G TODAY By Dawrrr msckenzie We have in Sicily the seem ingly paradoxical spectacle of the Germans battling to a bloody finish against the Anglo American advance, whereas in the vastly important struggle for Tunisia Hitler's last toe hold in North Africa the naxis surrendered wholesale when cornered. This striking difference in be havior is attracting the atten tion of observers, and indeed it's highly important that we know what is behind it It Is suggested by some writers that this reversal of form in the Ger man ranks is due to recognition that the reich is now in dire peril and must be defended to the death, whereas the nazi troops in Tunisia didn't regard that zone as vital to the father land. Mo Answer Having seen the Boche In op eration in two wars I don t be lieve that's the answer to our phenomenon in Sicily. Rather I think that the famous General Montgomery gave us the key when he remarked to me in North Africa last December "The German is a good sol dier and will fight, though I be lieve it is true that once you get him down he cracks up. As I see it the Germans quit in Tunisia, not because that country wasn't vital to their master but because they realized that continuation of the strug gle was equivalent to suicide. They had no hope of beating the allies and they had no hope of escaping, from the trap into which they had been pushed. Chance of Escapa The situation In Sicily, how ever, is quite different despite the fact that the Boche know they haven't a whisper of a hope of holding the island. While they fully recognize that they must "abandon ship," they undoubtedly believe (1) that they have a fair chance of pull ing off a Dunkerque and es caping to the mainland (in fact some of them already have made the bloody passage of Messina strait), and (2) that once they are on the mainland they ultimately will be able to join the German troops which are holding the line of the Po river in northern Italy in force. In short, the German soldier doesn't look on the' Italian ad venture as suicidal, despite the fierceness of the struggle. That doesn't necessarily mean he thinks the fatherland is head ed for victory. He may or may not believe that. However, he probably thinks and not with out reason that he has a chance of fighting his way back into Germany and coming through the war alive. Inspires Red Front The same psychological reac tion undoubtedly inspires the nazis who are fighting so fierce ly against the onrushing reds in Russia. The Hitlerites know that they have a chance of get ting back home. The German soldier is a tough . fighter. I even encoun tered an occasion in the last war where one whole contin gent of the kaiser's pet Prus sian guards did march against machincgun positions in a sui cide attack which was staged by the German command for purposes of giving the morale of the rest of the troops a need ed fillip.

As soon as it ap pears to them that they have no chance at all, they'll surrender. a a THE bla aua-stlon in our minds A U.a Raan Imu, Mll.k MMa,K I the Russians have behind their summer offensive. Henry Cas sidy, AP correspondent In Mos cow, gives us some light on that point today, gleaned from per sonal observations at the front and from interviews with some of Russia's top generals. i The Russians, he says, opened their offensive at Orel with an artillery barrage rated by the Russian command as the great est In history ten times heavier than the fire at Verdun, these generals say. There were 3000 gun barrels to the mile on the Russian front when the barrage started, he says. a a a TRY to picture to yourself 3000 cannon barrels to the mile of 5280 feet. That's better than one gun every two feet. It indicates that the Russians have plenty of what It takes. Which ISN'T good news for the Germans. RED STAR, Russian army German defenses as several con tinuous lines of trenches all inter-connected with strong pill boxes, dugouts and' advanced firing positions. There are ma chine guns every 50 yards, with minefields and wire entangle ments between and before the trenches. In other words, the Germans are defending with EVERY THING THEY HAVE. The Russians broke through all this. a a VOU'LL remember from yes terday the rumor that the nazis are moving the bulk of their government from Berlin to Vienna, in order to get away from our deadly bombers. Today hundreds of American Liberators from somewhere in the Middle East or along tho Af rican Mediterranean coast hit Wiener Neustadt, only 30 miles south of Vienna, with a devas tating rain of bombs. That Is Intended to say to the Germans that there is NO PLACE IN EUROPE where they can get away from our bombers. It's a hard and Jolting state ment. a a a AMONG our targets at Wiener Neustadt was an aircraft plant making Messerschmidts.

Aug. 14 WV-Tho 1043 lamb crop was about 5 per cent less than the 1942 crop and the smallest since 1839, the de partment of agriculture reported today. Lamb provides only about five per cent of the nation's to tal meat supply. Tho department estimated the crop this year at 31,101.000 head, or about 1,300,000 head under last year. Reduction In the crop In the western sheep states,' according to the depart ment, was mostly a result of conditions other than weather and feed, which were not great ly different from the previous year. "Reports from sheepmen," the department said, "indicate that a shortage of )ibor at lambing time, the Inexperience of much of the labor available and a shortage of ammunition for use against coyotes were largely responsible. "As in 1042, new range '"rift, was Into In starting and lambw made less than usual develop ment up to June 1, but since then they hove mode a very good recovery In nearly all arcaa." The native lamb crop, eitimat ed at 10.840 000 head, waa about 800.000 head or 3 per cent small er than the record 1042 crop and the smallest In the loit three years. In the 13 wcntcrn sheep states the ettlmutcd lamb crop of 20.137,000 head was about 900.000 head or 4 per cent be low lait year s crop.
