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.

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.

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.

Ships Give Aid
The battleship Arkansas and
the French cruisers Montcalm

to an amazingly short range to
help bold little destroyers give
all possible help to the tem

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

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

that the Germans had little
chance to establish another
