MALCOLM EPLEY dft(aiMtaf ftor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLZY "ET together and stay that way" Is the sensible doctrine evidently adopted by Klamath groups Interested in highway develop- menu -"""V '4 In anticipation of the forth lf?mJW coming visit of state highway J f W commissioners, three groups met Wednesday to work out a coordinated program. They were the county court, the city planning commission, and the I V 9V I I oI tne Klamath county I Y Jv- I I chamber of commerce. Ia.mai . The county court and the EPLET chamber of commerce commit tee already had agreed on a master program for state primary and secondary highways. To it was added the city's program at Wednes day's meeting. Unless there is a hitch, the whole thing can bo presented to the highway commissioners with the united support of county officials, city officials and the civic organizations. It doesn't take much imagination to realize how much more effective that will be than to get involved in separate recommendations and dis agreements before the highway officials. " The local plan doesn't discount the possibil ity of honest disagreement. But the idea is to iron out such questions between ourselves here at home, and present a united front to the state commission. Incidentally, no serious dis agreement developed at Wednesday's meeting. Because highway development is of vital im portance to the future of Klamath Falls, and because it becomes increasingly evident there will be huge highway construction in the period immediately succeeding the war, we know highway matters should receive vigorous public Interest locally. That's why we have been giving this topic considerable space here. We intend, later, to discuss various features of the proposed program set up by the local groups. For the time being, it is sufficient to . endorse warmly the cooperative methods de- uutu upon oy we inree ooaies. we nope wey stick to them. OPA Personnel Hitch IF OPA doesn't change its personnel policies, local ration boards aren't going to have any employed personnel, in the opinion of Henry Moe, clerk of the Klamath board. The policy that is putting lines in Mr. Moe's face is the requirement that board employes become qualified under civil service; .There are a lot of positions available In the community for girls and women who are pos sible recruits 'for' the kind of Jobs the ration . board must fill. These private positions have no civil service requirements, and in many instances they offer more attractive pay than that of board employes. .That competition in the labor market is making it increasingly tough . for Mr. Moe to find help. Many workers who could no doubt pass the civil service examinations are not interested in taking them. Mr. Moe thinks the civil service requirement ought to be cancelled so far as ration board employes are concerned. He is sure the jobs can be filled with competent help regardless of. civil service ratings. But if the civil service requirements continue, he's becoming Increasingly fearful the position will go unfilled. x a Newspapers and Bonds NEWSPAPERS that give strong editorial sup port to war bond campaigns, and advertis ers who' use newspapers to support the war bond effort,' have the satisfaction of seeing their communities come through solidly In this highly worthy cause. Testimony to that effect was given to us recently by Forrest Cooper, assistant state war bond administrator. Discussing comparative showings of Oregon communities in war bond sales, Mr. Cooper remarked that the strong sup port for war bonds is invariably found In com munities where there is active newspaper sup port for the program. Where the newspapers are indifferent or lukewarm, the bond sales drag. t ; That's Information that should Inspire news paper folks to greater effort in behalf of this extremely important home front phase of the war program.

Doc -atay nere ana ten ner my nesiin demands a week'e rest from this housework and I'll bring you some fish!" Dr. Masters' Health Column Diet, Attractive Food Dominate Conversation v MALLOW News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 The unofficial vice president, James F. Byrnes, , (act-. Ing In lieu of Mr. Wallace, who is off on a ' new left-wing political tang ent) gave some shocking fig ures of nazi military superior ity in his radio round-up. He said we had met only seven per cent of the axis divisions so far, that only 40 l I Pe cent of the axis army was yVi' H on the Russian front, and we 4f I will have onlv BO divisions at our ultimate peak. No one would contradict these figures, but they need some explanation. The truth is the Germans have about 300 divisions, Italy had (but not now) about 70, and the axis satellites furnished about 70 more, a total axis strength of 440 divisions. The seven per cent we have met so. far would be around 31 divisions, an ap proximately accurate figure for- the North African and Sicilian campaigns. . Forty per cent axis strength on the Russian front is also approximately correct, the best estimate being 190 to 200 divisions Involved there. But all these are nazis except about 10 divisions of the satellites, so that only about 80 German divisions remain to meet our 90. (Which may prove to be 100 and does not Include British and Canadians). - The 140 axis divisions attributed to Italy and the satellites originally are just about half shot Some were destroyed in Africa and Sicily, and the remaining bulk- Is scattered through the Balkans and reported uneager for combat. The available 80 divisions of real nazis left In Europe to face us includes re serves and administrative divisions, and are scattered from Norway to Italy and from Poland to France. Mr. Byrnes well may be correct in saying the major battles lie ahead, and he is certainly sound in warning against complacency, but the British and Canadians will give us a heavy superiority in numbers for those battles. ' i a o a Patent Political Medicine THE administration's big, . patent political medicine for all the post war ills of man and beast social security is not gaining ex pected support within congress. In fact, Senate Finance Chairman George and a number of the other most Influential author ities have decided the pending Wagner bill will not be taken up until after taxes. They are also beginning to shake their heads in doubt about it ever being allowed to pass in " anything like its present form. The British parliament has done about the same thing with the Beveridge report, which was advanced like the Roosevelt program, to provide "'security for all from the cradle to the grave." These plans are supposed to be the nucleus of the liberal post-war program, and there have been suggestions that as soon as the war is over, the laborites in England may oust Mr. Churchill- and ride to power behind this social security banner. But even many a liberal Is beginning to wonder if the program is liberal or can pro vide security. The Wagner bill calls, for in stance for a 12 per cent payroll tax to finance government attendance at the cradle, grave and in the interim six per cent on employer and six per cent on the worker. All other taxes on men and business are levied on profits. ; You Tiave to make some money before you are taxed. But in this tremendous new taxa tion program; : the government would collect before earnings, if any, are computed. The tax therefore, would be a capital levy on a busi ness not making money. . a Help, to Monopolies IT would help big business monopolies, where high prices can be fixed to provide profits. It would be destructive of small or Independent business. It would confiscate worker and busi ness savings and hide them in a stagnant gov ernment pool. But- even so, would It provide security? The government could collect billions of dollars an nually from the workers' pocketbook and the business cash register, but with inflation hang ing over our heads and a $200,000,000,000 post war debt upon our shoulders, would any great number of people ever get back the dollar value that would be paid in either at the cradle or In the graveT The liberals thought the scheme would be a great vote catcher, but the voters who have beenin touch with congressmen seem more concerned about the' destructive tax rates they will have to pay in now, than they are about the prospect of the government paying their undertaker 20, 30, or 40 years from now.

Joseph Farewell Glidden In vented and manufactured the first barbed wire In 1873, at DeKalb, 111. By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Almost without fail, the topic ultimately arrived at in literally every conversation these days is that of food. What there is in the market, how much it costs, bow many points must be dis pensed with for each item, all lead quite innocently and inevit ably into the subject of nutri tion for nothing in man's life is more fundamental than fill ing his. stomach. Before Pearl Harbor, there prevailed among otherwise in telligent and modern-minded women a convention that the matter of nutrition, per se, was deadly dull. It was tied up, rather boringly, with maternal solicitude, wearing rubbers, and people with "stomach trouble," who could not '.'have fun." The ultimate in good food consisted of charred, barbecued steak, tossed salad, and a rich dessert. Looks Enhance Taste Many of us would today eye a good steak with deep respect amounting to awe, if it were available but we have also had our eyes opened to a good many aspects of nutrition and - food that we had overlooked before in our era of plenty. First of all, there is nothing like a lit tle privation to make one dis cover that food is one of life's major pleasures as well as neces sities, and hence of serious inter est Second, it has become fascin ating to observe the correlation between good diet and good, at tractive food, as we are learning about both in the science of nu trition. The Red Cross, the OCD, the OPA, with other less publicized agencies, have done a splendid job in acquainting every house wife with the excellent sources of food not common in our pre war diet especially such pro tein bearers as soybeans; the im portance of Vitamins in raw and cooked fruits and vegetables; and the relative unimportance of carbohydrates and fats. The more observant students in these classes have found fur ther that the imagination, allied to taste and color-sensitivity, is an invaluable aid in planning good sound meals. The meal that contains a balanced color scheme time and again Is a meal with balanced food values. Adven tures in taste, such as experi ments with odd herbal season ings, can add zest to circum vent shortages. Cooking Can Be an Art Not for nothing have the sim ple people of countries as poor per person as France and China acquired the international repu tation of being true gastro nomes. - Having little to work with these folks learned to blend and season and cook properly the foods available to them and by adding creative imagination to the barest necessities learned from experience, they made of food preparation an art the true flower of science.

It gives one a chill to think what might have happened to Australia, the Hawaiian Islunds, Alaska or even tho west cou.it of Continental United Slates if it hadn't been for the skill nnd sac rifice ot all categories in the fnr Pacific. They've done one of the decisive Jobs ot the war. : Reminder Our latest atrial success yes terday and TuesdBy at Wownk, New Guinea, Is a reminder thnt not only have our Pnclflc forces performed the essential holding operation against a powerful en emy, but they have done tho "Im possible" by seizing the Initiative and putting the Japs on the de fensive. In the Wewnk show our bombers destroyed or dam aged some 219 precious enemy planes, thereby virtually wiping out Nipponese alrpowcr in cen tral New Guinea. The significance? Well, that beautiful Job brings us Just so much closer to the day when we shall wipe out the great Jnp naval base at Truk, thus render ing the Mikado's forces impotent in that whole vast zone of Islands northwest of Australia. The lit tle men of the rising sun are being forced back step by step. "Hitler First" Meantime in the "Hitler first" compulgn, Moscow reports that tho Gorman nro counter-attacking before Kharkov on tho fierce ly contented suuthorn battle front, seeking an opening for an offensive to offset the devastat ing red drive. Such a develop ment would greatly Intensify the already bloody crisis which is threatening to forco the nail chief to withdraw his entire great line In Russia. This turn of events has result ed In tho soviet army newspapor ltcd Star making trosh appeal for a second land front In west ern Europe, to force Hitler to di vert troops from Russia and put him on the dofouslve In both west and east. The paper says that "only such an operation can cut down tho length of the war to any considerable extent." Need for Land Front Tho need of a land front In western Europe at the earliest feasible moment was conceded long ugo by tho ulllod high com mand. Therefore the problem of Messrs. Roosevelt and Chur chill nnd their advisers isn't whether there should bo such a front but whin it will be feasible to establish it. The Russian report that the Germans are trying to find an opening for a counter-offensive In the Kharkov sector Is vastly Important. It may mark Hit ler's supreme effort to save his blood-souked line. If so we are likely to see somo of tht most terrific fighting of the whole war. Before the war Stnlln was nothing to Mr. Churchill but a blood-stained tyrant, and Mr. Churchill was nothing to Stalin but a typo of bourgeois Imperial ist.

Most of the men and women of this fair city are working in soma of tha mills around town. Naturally they are earning considerable money, also naturally they have to get Into the stores to get somo needed supplies, BUT, they must either go without these necessary things, or else they must lose at least a half t a day's work to secure them. Many of the people of the sur rounding community and basin come to town for their needs. Their work Is mora essential than that ot the mills, because if they do not produce the food that is needed we will not have enough strength to carry on the war effort. All stores close at 6 p. m. every day, and the - grocery stores close at this same hour on Saturday night, although the other stores remain open till eight o'clock. In Portland, so I have been Informed, the busi ness houses open an hour later in the morning and remain open an hour later in the evening In order to accommodate the war workers, and if the war work ers In Klamath Falls stop, It would seriously hamper them up there, so why couldn't the stores of this, the third largest city in the state of Oregon do the same. Instead of opening at eight or nine o'clock, wait until nine or ten o'clock and remain open till seven on week days, and on Saturday till later if they so desire. Let's hear some more about this, and chamber of commerce, please note. Thank you for printing this. Sincerely yours, E. V. ZELL. If you want to sell It phone The Herald and News "want ads," 3124.
