The project is to be given up, because the Commandos nowi' have a big job. on their hands, helping entertain' the men who are coming here .by the thousands to the Marine Barracks, air station, and-Tule-laks camp. ' ' The Barracks program, which will bring thousands of men . here from the Pacific wars, was the final factor in . . EPLEY the .decision of the Commandos. They realized it was impossible to do their local, job well and ! to continue to bring in the. wounded marines and sailors from Pacific coast hospitals. Those who responded to the Commandos' request for a public expression on the matter were about evenly divided. But it was appar ent that persons who believed the Commandos should continue bringing in wounded men, were not fully aware of the tremendous burden placed on this organization by the local pro gram. Approximately 123 wounded men were brought here by the Commandos in one of the finest projects of its kind undertaken in the United States. They deserve the greatest pos sible praise for conceiving the plan and execut ing it so well. The Commandos can be counted upon to continue to do an equally good job. and on a much broader scale, now that Klamath Falls is the temporary home of thousands of service men, large numbers of them with ill-, nesses contracted in the Pacific fighting. By PAUL MALLONV WASHINGTON, June 2-The last ditch nazl line before Rome has been advertised as the greatest thing yet in steel and concrete. The truth is it was only at a couple of. strong points, one at Valmontone astride the Casillna escape road to Rome, and the other at Villetrl -on the Applan way. These " two points the Germans forti fied , with hasty works and held obstinately as usual, but wa - went plunging straight : through the Albun hills direct ly to Rome, swinging on the outer pickets of the-gate hing ed on Valmontone. . . As a matter of fact, none of these vaunted nazi lines in Italy were much more than good hill positions with a few unthoroughly prepared lorn- fications. The B"aa 11 - Our Unofficial Count . OFFICIAL count of ballots in the May 19 ' primary, completed at mid-week, shows no" Important changes from the unofficial tabula tion made on election night at The Herald and News office and disseminated immediately through KFJI and the paper. 'Probably not everyone who reads election returns the day after an election realizes that the -tremendous job of getting these figures together is done by the news agencies and not by: any official organization. . The official count usually takes several days. Election after election, the unofficial tabula tion, done on a rush basis, proves to.be essen tially correct and thus performs ah important ' public news service. The official canvasses in Oregon are- slow, because they are done on immense and involved transcript sheets which can become highly con futing. This newspaper many years ago devised method of tabulating election returns that speeds everything up through simplification. Uder this method, separate precinct tables are kepi for each contest, thus avoiding the sea of figures that soon, develops on one of the big transcript sheets. t's a great system, and we believe it could be adapted to official canvasses.' '"' MALLON Germans-relied far-more on land mines and barbed wire than, on steel and concrete. ' Nazi Morale Hit THE best thing they had : In the Gustav and Hitler lines were the fortifications in the Liri valley upon which they had 'Spent tw6 months of 1 effort. When the French swung around in the mountains behind those fortifi cations and caused them to be abandoned with out much fighting. German, morale shrank. The' nazi troops' coulcf see in'- Hie skies each day only 20 to 40 of their own planes and generally about 2,500 of ours, Half of ours were bent on bombing missions .behind the line, but the others were aimed at those very nazi heads. . As against this eye demonstration, more dead ly than leaflets, the German troops had orders to hold each position "at any cost." But it was obvious from the Liri valley start, they had insufficient manpower to hold any place. Their deficiency was such that the famous Herman Goering division, having first been moved half-way up the Italian boot for post Rome defense, had to be brought back to the lighting. i'r a a . 7 Weakness .In East 'Y WEAK German manpower the factor that finally brings the end to the defeated in all wars likewise is .the answer to what has been happening- onrthe. Russian front. There, they have also been putting up scattered strong point rather than "line" defense with a defic iency of manpower, which would have caused a foe with more respect for life to collapse .long ago. .. . . ; - They have saved themselves only by cooper-.- ation of the- Hungarian; and Romanian armies, and .the use of Polish, Estonian, and Latvian divisions to plug -the gaps' (estimates of this help running as high -as M divisions.) .With the exception of the latest nazi counter-attack, they have not had enough men really to fight the Russians openly on any front. - ' f. . Their tactics have been restricted to offen sive-defensive ODerations to cause Russian losses with the least sacrifice to themselves. To cover' their lack of manpower, they also: have used artillery and tanks (with which, they seem to be more than fully supplied) to an unpre cedented extent. The detailed accounts of thee .operations - - forecast the nearness of thW'ehcU.- Yet thenazis 'contrive amazing, unheard of "tactics to stave off the inevitable. There is, for instance, the untold story of 'General Hans- Hubs (from ' Sicily) who moved IS motorized, or armoreo . divisions around in the center ot overwhelming superior Russian forces from, March 19 to April 8; . ' 7 He hid this large force in valleys to cover himself from air observations, changed positions by night, was supplied in part 'by, air;, but lived considerably off the country. ' - - He fought numerous battles, but changed positions so fast, the Russians could never get heavier armor than his against him, and he escaped with 22 divisions, seven more than he . had. a .thesfsrt, by piclsjnguprelief jarrispns as ne went along. i SIDE GLANCES Klamath Kidnaper Asks Writ, Claims He Did Not Violate d Lindbergh Law Here - ' TACOMA,: June 1 WK-Petl- aon xor a writ ot habeas corpus was filed 'In federal court -here today against P.

It li about time you began to realize that we are at war now. We have about 3,000,000 men and women across the pond fighting for this old USA. So we need production, to go across there from a big battleship to a sub machine and everything it takes to support our army, . So the only way we can get production Is for all fellows that are on strike now to go back to work and stop howling and oac.i our soldiers across the pond. I want to say our workers in the Klamath basin didn't go on strike with the fellows in Portland and other places. Seven dollars is low here in the lumber game. and it doesn't cost others any more to live than it does us. So all you fellows on strike go back to work and furnish soldiers plenty ammuni tion and everything it takes to support a. battle front. We ' need every able-bodied man or woman to get on some kind of job whether on a farm or what not. We have got to get production to support our fighting army.. You surely don't want Hitler or the Japt to rule this old USA. C. A. PAULK.
