FRANK JENKINS tutor Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY . AE expected the sell-out of sests for the W premiere showing of "ThU Is the Army" which was announced Wednesday morning by Marsnau toraeui uio euuiumv tee chairman. Klamath has way of com. big through on every project of patriotic nature. Pro ceeds from the picture show will go to the army emergency relief. Premium prices were asked for the seats, in order to swell that fund. Probably many of the peo ple who paid $3.50 for seats at this showing never before Km EPLET Dald that much to see a picture show. But they paid it gladly this time because it promises not only to be a . good picture but to yield a handsome sum for a worthy cause. Reports from certain other cities of the state, ' where the same . picture Is to have a premiere showing tonight, indicated seat sales there were not up to those at Klamath Falls. That is not surprising. We had occasion to look over the Oregon county returns on the July war bond sales recently. Klamath, the war orphan so far as military installations are concerned, was over the top with 109 per cent of quota. Benton county, with Camp Adair, lagged with 87 per cent Jackson, with Camp White, hit 93 per cent of quota. Umatilla, with an airbase, stood 78 per cent of quota. Having crowds in the streets and money flow ing at the drink spots apparently doesn't mean sincere patriotic spirit. Maybe it doesn't mean T News Behind the News Br PAUL MALLOW ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 The long awaited correction of the government's inefficient formula for allocating fuel oil was promised by OPA about six weeks ago. The papers were filled with official publicity, and an OPA publicity official called me on the' telephone to say he knew how glad I would be to learn that the old square footage was being corrected and that wives and widows of men away fighting this nation's bat tles would not be subjected to the dangers of ill health or death by insufficient heat MALLOW ing allowances this winter. Everything was go ing to be improved. I have been listening to government publicity men, good and bad, for the last 25 years, so I asked to see the specific orders being sent out to the rationing boards. An outline of policy changes came in the mail next morn ing, and they sounded quite promising. How ever, no specific orders were in the outline, so I decided to delay my cheering until I saw what . the OPA did not just what it said it would do. The fuel ration application blanks sent out through the local rationing boards a few weeks later hinted at a far different state of affairs. The applications were simplified, but they left the home owner only two alternatives to take a voluntary reduction or get the same as last year. The blank did not allow any op portunity even to ask for an increase. In order to get any oil at all, the home owner was required to accept the injustice's of lasi year or voluntarily refund , . .uiuumuj twuna some oi nis it 5p jI(,:,i( , . former allowance to the government. An I S EMS ficult for some bureaus of this indefinite promise was made that sometime ! overnment to .be either frank or practical. later somehow an opportunity would be offered for a citizen at least to ask correction. Some how lately, later never comes. Nevertheless I wrote a letter to my local rationing board asking for an increase and sent it along with the form application. The board replied that the old square footage basis of allocation was being followed this year, despite all the national publicity to the op. posite effect. No Increase, therefore, could be granted to me, although my house must be heated, as all others, on a cubic footage basis.

HAWKINS BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 18 ) Hundreds of Swiss came from all over their tiny country today to see two American Fly ing Fortresses forced down in this neutral territory and treated the young American airmen like distinguished guests. The Neue Zuercher Zeltung de scribed the 20 crewmen as "young fine appearing men." One crew was virtually the guests of honor in the town they were first taken before being in terned. They went for a swim, to a ball game, and toured a fac tory. The newspapers described the Fortresses as the "biggest planes ever to touch Swiss soil." me two fortresses landed yes terday. They were named "Bat tle Queen" and "Peg of My Heart" The crews destroyed their In struments and one group started to destroy iheir plane until a res-!

Professions of Loyalty 1 1 PNlSLOYAL Japanese" are still disloyal and U make no bones about it, according to a statement made to newsmen in San Francisco by Robert B. Cozxens, assistant director of the war relocation authority. Prior to movement of the disloyal Japanese to the Tulelake WRA center, investigations are being made to give those who have been classified as disloyal to make a showing that would change their classification. Coxzens' state ment indicates these people haven't changed their minds since last spring, when their re fusal to register or otherwise professed sym pathy for Japan put them in the "disloyal" category. Therefore, the vast majority of them will move into Tulelake come September. We have to confess a certain admiration for these people who are openly admitting their allegiance to 'Japan. That's being honest, at any rate. The people we are concerned about, and we hope the WRA and other authorities feel the same concern, are those who may be falsely professing loyalty to the United States. They will escape detention at Tulelake, and they will be in a position to strike a b)' r for their loved Japan. That there are none such among the thous ands of evacuees is too much to hope. on the square footage of his floor space the same allowance as a six-foot ceiling. If his house is out in the country on a windswept hill, square footage rules the same as in a row house In town, where only two sides are ex posed to the weather. I checked my neighborhood and dealers and could find only one person in my county who was permitted an increase this year, although several were cut Some few increases had been allowed in an adjoining town in the case of small houses, but last year's allocation has been frozen or cut there too in general, al though the supply of oil available here should be much larger than last year. i Footage Formula Remains THE army has been taking its oil from gulf I ports in heavy quantities the last 60 days, I found, from announced figures on trucks, so that its demand on the eastern seaboard had been lightened tremendously. Unit coupons were restored to 10 gallons from 9 each, but the unfair square footage formula remains. Upon further Investigation, I was informed by a local rationing boardman that while the OPA put out its national publicity and filled xne papers with promises of increases and ad justments, its orders to the local rationing ooaras aavisea sharper cutting this year. Ap parently, the firel division of OPA (the most criticized division of that much criticized admin istration nas said one thing publicly, and done the opposite privately, leaving the local boards which attempts to deceive its people is foolish enough, but a government at tempting to deceive the people who already me own rrom their own experience, is beyond description in the realms of sanity. Be Frank wny. if officials find that less available this winter, despite all their pipe lines and their promises, you would naturally expect them to say so and ask co operation. But official deception of people by the gov emment especially deceptions which can be so easily detected, does more to disturb faith than 10,000 tons of nazi or communist propa ganda. If they are gambling on the coming winter being lighter than last, they are also gambling on the fundamental confidence of a democratic people in their official news sources and the honor and integrity of the government Itself.

Dr. Masters' Health Column Sleeplessness From Fear, Anxiety May Be Overcome By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS The times are restive, and the impact ot war on civilian life, as well as military, is fraught with tension and uncer tainty, with overwork, limited recreation, personal anxieties. Sleep under such conditions sometimes becomes an issue, rather than an ordinary func tion, whose automatic arrival comes regularly and b e n e f ! cently. Some people seek and find in sleep a curious cocoon-like wrapping, into which they can retire at will for solace and for getfulness even sleeping as much as 12 hours a day, in a sort of self-drugging stupor. Others, however, find the god dess as elusive as a will-o'-the-wisp, and must woo her to con sent to abide with them at all. These are the ones who go in for the 4 so-called "harmless" sedatives officially 'difficiilt to get, and requiring a physician's prescription, but actually in all too common use, with eventual deleterious effect SLEEP SHOULD MEAN REST Sleep without rest is as mean ingless as a bomb that once re leased refuses to explode. Rest frequently must be learned and cultivated, and springs from a spirit relieved of nervous strains. Without going into the physiology of sleep, rarely com plicated by such phenomena as disturbed acid-base balance, a disorder of the internal secre tions, or inadequacies of liver or kidney, one can say without hesitation that courting real rest is for many people a prob lem in psychology and common sense. Fear is without question the primary cause of most sleep lessness. Sometimes, . as among people in great and constant physical danger, like the ma rines at Guadalcanal, the cause of the fear is obvious and com pletely understandable. On the home front, where the actual dangers filter into most consciousnesses by way of the imagination, the causes of fear are often disguised and hard to trace though none the less real. The black things of thoughts that fly mercilessly through a night when sleep has been disrupted is familiar to nearly everyone. Though the following morn ing brings sanity, it also brings great weariness, and the feeling of "not having slept at all" sometimes accompanied by a terror of repeating the experi ence, or of "losing the mind." For these people, it is wise to make a practice of turning on a light and picking up a book a book demanding close read ing, not too entertaining. Above all. such people should remem ber that , nature's powers of healing are such that when ' a man gets physically weary enough, he invariably falls DEAFENED 20 Minutes Will Tell You How Much Your Hearing Can Be Helped For BETTER HEARING V Visit S0N0T0NE HEARING CENTER AUGUST 19TH WILLARD HOTEL Klamath Falls, Ore.

MISERY LOVES COMPANY Being a gregarious animal, man takes a great satisfaction in sharing his emotions with others. It is of comfort to know that others, too, in time of war, are undergoing the trial of fear and to discuss the problems or that fear with a wise and humane friend, minister, or physician is frequently to lay the burden of misery on other shoulders long enough to rest. There is no sounder tenet of psychology than the popular adage that "misery loves com pany."

All things considered, It strikes me that we may have to award first place to a political rather than a military outcome the downfall ot fascism and its creator. Of course, the minute you start making comparisons, you get Involved. The collapse of tho political "Ism" had tho effect of rendering Italy virtually Im potent militarily, apart from such defense as the Germans chose to make. Thus one might well call It politico-military. Cloie to Top Still, whatever way you desig nate It, this development must rank close to the top among the important events of the global war. Fascism, and tho ex pansive shoulders of tho doyen of European dictators, wcro foundation stones ot the axis at tack on civilization. Hitler was the arch gangster, but his for tunes were heavily involved with those ot his partner in crime. The moral effect of this de bacle has been tremendous throughout the world. It has convinced tho last mother's son among the neutral and non-belligerent nations that tho defeat of the axis Is inevitable. It has turned Hitler's small satellites against him. It has given occu pied countries courage to carry on against the bochc. Political Angle Then there's another wholly political angle. Numerous coun tries had long been flirting with the fascist form of government, and some even had inaugurated a modified form of It. Now these countries find the props pulled out from under them, for fascism has been shown to be a house built upon tho sands. From the strictly military standpoint the rewards of the brilliant conquest of Sicily are great. When this dangerous op eration was conceived it had as its objectlvo the reopening of tho shipping route through the Med iterranean. This vital thorough far passes in the narrow channel between Sicily and Africa, and the big island heavily held by tho axis dominated those waters. Shortcut Open For most of the wor this route had been closed. Supplies from America and Britain for the mid dle east and far east had to go clear around South Africa In stead of taking the short cut through the Mediterranean. This delayed allied operations in many zones, tied up vest quan tities of shipping, and gravely threatened the security of Egypt and the Suez canal. Now the sillies dominate the 1 Mediterranean, and there's no chance that Hitler ever again will edge in on that control. He still has a weak foothold on such Islands as Sardinia, Corsica and Crete, but they profit him little because his alrforce has been all but knocked out In the Mediter ranean theater. ' - All this sums up to the fact that the western allies now are to a considerable degreo masters of their own Immediate fate. That is to say, with the Mediter ranean c'-iared, and Italy Im potent, they have numerous op erations from which they can pick their next move, or move. ALL DEAD ON AIRLINER VANCOUVER, B.

Drug Co. for aoaTAac rrc Legion Leads Local Forest Fire Prevention Campaign By WALTER WIE8ENDANOEM Chairman, atop Foreit lires Committee Klamath Falls folks have a di rect and personal Interest In the wartime forest fire prevention campaign which Is being con ducted nationally this year by the U. S. forest service, and sponsored locally by the Stop Forest Fires committee ot the American Legion. Wood is ona of our most Im portant war materials. It ranks along with steel. There are over twelve hundred military uses for wood. We cannot afford to burn up this vital resource, which Is backing up our fighting men on the battle .fronts of the world. We need all of our manpower to get out logs and lumber, and loggers know that "When you're fighting fire, you're not log ging." If tha wartime fire prevention campaign is going to be the suc cess It ought to be, It must have tho direct and personal holp of every citizen In Klamath Falls. Of course, It seems that wa al ways have some forest fires every year. Lightning starts Comedienna's Ex-Sec ratary Shot By Spurned Lover HOLLYWOOD. Aug.
