Member, Associated Pran Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY REPORTS that Camp Abbot at Bend Ss to be "de-activated" and that Camo White at Medford is no longer the scene used to be, emphasize again the interesting position of Klamath Falls as the home of Important military installa tions. Klamath came late into this picture, and the folks here abouts used to think there was some sort of hex on the town so far as the military was con cerned. Now, when other commun ities are worrying about the oossible loss of military instal lations, Klamath Juts three of them that seem likely to continue for a long time. Two of them are being expanded. The naval air station will probably be con tinued at least as long as the war in the Pacific. The Marine Barracks may continue for several years after fighting stops. Camp Tulelake will be needed so long as a segregation center is maintained in the south end of the basin. a a a War Prisoners MOST recent information indicates that Ger man war prisoners will eventually be brought Into the Klamath basin and quartered at the old Tulelake CCC camp on the west side of the camp. This was our understanding at the time Italian prisoners were first brought in; later, it was indicated, only Italians would be quartered here. But a recent army news release again indi cates that the Italians, among other things, will construct permanent facilities to be used event ually for housing and confining German war prisoners. It takes stronger confining facilities to keep the Germans in camp, we are told. The dif ference between the two may be indicated in the fact that Tulelake Rotarians the other day bad group of Italian prisoners as entertainers. Tackle Shortage THERE are lot of men at the Marine Bar racks and the naval air station both of ficers and enlisted men who would like to fish if they can get the fishing equipment. A distinct shortage of tackle has developed -here rods and reels being particularly hard to find. An effort to get such equipment to gether for service men a few weeks Ego failed. nobody, apparently, wanted to part with his good tackle, and people hesitated to give old, outworn equipment to men who deserve better. But it is a hospitality problem, and something ought to be done about it. It is not a matter of needing donations, for equipment would be eagerly purchased if it were available. Maybe some can be brought in. Meantime, it is sug gested local fishermen take service men along with them on their trips, and that wherever possible, equipment be lent for use of our military visitors. . a . a . a Truckers Meet AITH the second invasion formally opened VY "Od every American's attention directed on the war fronts, it is hard to come down to the ordinary and common place civilian activ ities. But here is one that is important. A meeting of truckers will be held Thursday at 7 p. m. at the Willard hotel. James Hedric, head of the synthetic tire rationing department for the state Machine Gun Fire Holds Up One Allied Unit in Landing By LEWIS HAWKINS Associated Press Correspondent Representing tha Combined American Press ABOARD FLAGSHIP OFF THE FRENCH COAST, June 6 (Delayed) UP) American in. fantrymen, landing on France's XMormanay coast between Cher bourg and Le Havre, plunged inland quickly at one point to day while another unit was pinned to the beach by machine-gun fire before it could advance. Hitting the beaches slightly behind schedule shortly after 6:30 a. m., one regimental com bat team on the right flank . chose a three and one-half-mile .stretch on which to operate. It cut through some enemy forces, . by-passed others and messaged it was moving inland an hour after landing. . Stay In Foxholes Other combat troops were immobilized at the start by fierce machine-gun fire poured on them from behind a ridge some 800 yards beyond high water mark. For several hours the men were forced to hold on in; fox holes but finally they fought their way out. , The unit suffered from mines which knocked out several r-A Gem of Thought From Idella's j A kitchen police rookie named Freaae When aiktd, had he seen service on the seas, ' Replied, "Yes, of Iste I've been chief gunners male," All right Buddie, just start shellin peas.

The War Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press War Analyst HuLER'S undoubtedly powerful Atlantic wall, behind which he has strutted and threatened, has been broken at one of its strongest points. The landings which were begun on the Cher bourg peninsula of Normandy in yesterday's storm dawn have been continued. Commander in Chief Eisenhower's headquarters tell us that "satisfactory progress has been made." . That's an amazing feat and gratifying far beyond anticipations, but we must remember that this is only the beginning. We don't even know that this is intended as the major assault or that the main thrust won't come somewhere else. What we do know, and it's Important, is this: The all-out German counter-attacks are still to come. a a a Difficulties Ahead UNDER normal circumstances a concerted nazi local counter-attack wouldn't be mounted before today. It might be several -days before reserves were brought up for a full scale assault.. Remember that the coast-line Is thinly held by the Germans, and that Hitler's reservoir of reserves is far back of the coastal defenses. He has it strategically situated for quick move ment in any direction. He isn't going to -risk flinging an army at any invasion threat until he is sure that it is the main enemy landing or at least one of them. If he rushed a big force to Normandy the first thing, and the allies then aimed a light ning blow at another distant point, he would be in a welter of trouble. As a matter of fact, one would expect the allies to pursue just such tactics. This doesn't mean that the Normandy invasion isn't the main one. Time alone will tell us that. I should say much depends on how things go there. If they progress swimmingly, the allies presumably will develop this landing to the full. . a a a a Good Base THE Cherbourg peninsula is an ideal invasion base. There we have not only one of the finest ports in the world, but a railway direct to Paris, and a terrain suitable for air fields and easy movements of troops and equipment. However, even if Normandy represents the main thrust, Hitler certainly is expecting other landings probably several of them. The pur pose of this diversity would be to keep the Germans off balance all the time In a matter of where to send their reserves for defense. Also, obviously we weaken the enemy by compelling him to divide his forces. The Hitler ites may have three quarters of a million men in France, but that's too few If they have to defend both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean coastlines. Where will other allied attacks, if any, be made? Well, there are a lot of likely spots north of Normandy and closer to our main base England. They're heavily fortified and mighty tough, but any one of them would produce a jack-pot if we were lucky. ... a a a a Divertive Attacks WE have the naval and air power to enable Eisenhower to play the game about the way he likes. He may make several attacks which are intended merely as divertive. How ever, unexpected success at any point might mean quick development of the landing into an integral part of the general assault. One likely looking spot is in the Rhone valley of southern France, on the Mediterranean. There's a big French army eagerly waiting. for action, and if it were thrown In there it cer tainly would raise hob with the nazis by forc ing them to defend a front so far separated from northern France. It's worth watching. For the moment let's temper our enthusiasm with caution. montha 93.23 rear counMea year st.uu Mambar Audit Bureau Circulation ofacUvity it EPLET waterproofed tanks which man aged to get on or close to shore. Artillery fire also was a prob lem although this seemed large ly neutralized by prolonged bombardment before landings. Ships Give Aid The battleship Arkansas and the French cruisers Montcalm and George Leygues moved in to an amazingly short range to help bold little destroyers give all possible help to the tem porarily stranded force. Meanwhile, allied air and sea domination remained complete with the Luftwaffe not even represented by a single hostile plane over the fleet that was spread over hundreds of square miles of sea. The German navy was equally conspicuous in its absence. Late this afternoon an incom pletely relayed message said that the Ranger outfit, which moved in on the right flank. was calling for reinforcements. Meanwhile, another landing unit was moving to the support of the second group which had been held un at the start in front of a village. Another Ranger unit took a position atop a cuff four and one-half miles west of the land ing areas; It achieved its Dri- mary objective of taking over . . 25c Phone 9469 a battery pounded by bombs and 'naval guns, but nothing more had been heard up until late afternoon. From reports available here, one force between another American force to the west and a British force to east hit the toughest spot of all three, but with reinforcements going in, air cover remaining perfect and weather clearing, there was no sign of gloom aboard this ship and the feeling seemed to be that the Germans had little chance to establish another Salerno or Anzio seal-off.
