Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLfcY
IN a letter on this page, a local citixen points
to Malin's enterprising park program as
worthy of emulation in many PjJMjejmgroMK
roents in we rwBinnu. .......
area.
Here are a number of inter
esting suggestions, and where
as not everyone may agree
with the tone of the letter, it
is! a good thing for the public
td develop constructive ideas
oh things that can be done to
make this a better, more at
tractive community.
For that reason,' letters of
this nature ara especially wel
rame. (Let it be noted that
this letter was signed. W have been having a
rash of unsigned letters, recently, and these
under the rule do not make the page.) It is
opiy through real public interest in an im
provement program that projects can be started
and brought to completion.
(This column, for one, is not in agreement
With the idea that public officialdom here is
lax or unprogressive. The. Improvements that
have been brought about here in the last decade
contradict that opinion, as does official leader
ship in the direction of pre-financing and plan
ning for extensive development for the future.
, a
Newcomer's View
THE last year has seen a quite heavy influx
, of newcomers to Klamath Falls, and this
writer has been interested in the reaction to the
town Indicated by those of these new people
With whom he has come in contact,
tin general, we would say it is favorable.
They like the people, they like the spirit of
hospitality and friendliness that prevails here,
and they approve of many things about th
physical lay-out of the community. One of them
remarked: "It's a good town. When more of
the rough edges are taken off, it will be a
better town. We like a place that looks for
ward to being a better place."
That's the idea. There are many things to be
done to make this still more attractive horns
and family city, and every showing of public
interest In attaining that objective is wholesome
and worth while.
a a a a .
Auditorium
ALONG that line, we note that one of the
needs mentioned in connection with the
high school special levy, to be voted on Monday,
Is a more adequate auditorium for the high
school and the community.
, The present auditorium at the school will not
accommodate the student body, and "double as
semblies" have long been necessary to permit
all1 youngsters to participate in special pro
grams. Likewise, there is no adequate public
auditorium for community use here, compar
able to the outdoor amphitheatre provided by
Modoc field.
i Some years ago there grew up quite a move
ment In cities both large and small for public
auditorium construction. We visited one town
in the middle west which had a most elaborate
auditorium of this type, but it was not a school
auditorium,' and it was used about three or four
3mes a year.
, If KUHS develops an adequate auditorium, as
suggested by Superintendent . Arnold Gralapp
' it connection with the special levy, it will be
efficiently used by the school and by the com
munity in general. It is a public Improvement
that should mean much to our community in
the future.
, .: . . .
Suburban Sanitation
FE matter of sewage facilities In the suburbs,
mentioned by our correspondent today, is
one that has long been discussed with a good
deal of concern here, and it certainly has not
escaped the attention of public health author
itieg. We understand that the special committee
Which examined flood damage in the South
Sixth suburban ' area a few weeks ago was
highly critical of the private, sewage disposal
methods in use there.
I One public vote on sanitary sewage for the
suburbs failed few years ago, That was due,
we believe, to Improper public presentation of
file project. There is a need of course, for
interest in such a program on the part of the
residents and property owners of the suburbs
themselves, and we anticipate that this problem
will be worked out in the not-too-distant future.
Barracks Road
STAYING on the same line, let 'us talk just a
bit about the road between town and the
Marine Barracks. A military friend of ours,
who recently visited the Barracks for the first
time, called the roadside appearance of th
Old Fort route as "depressing."
We anticipate that public property involved in
that appearance will bo properly taken care of,
but a problem remains as concerns certain pri
vate property there.
If those people who own or control the
offending ' property will examine it from the
standpoint of community Interest, and tnko
the proper steps to correct the problem, wo
believe they will be well repaid in self-satisfaction
and public appreciation, which we cer
tainly will seek to express here.

Morale of the
5
-J
T
A.
YY nail fighters encountered in Franco is
mixed. There were some crack units of the
young and fervid Hitlerites, but interspersed
with these were oiaer men
and many alltn units.
These units of non-nazl for
eigners to Germany included
a few ardent fascists from all
the countries of Europe, but
most were either fighting for
the money or were pressed
into service. As a whole, they
were definitely third rate.
This is of highest import
ance because the war now has
become a taut rubber band. It
is being constantly stretched MALLON
farther and farther. It is impossible to say
exactly when and where it will break, yet the
break certainly will be forced by the impetus
of weakening morale. And it Is at. least clear
now nail fighting power is no more than a
patchwork.
This measure also gives the over-all picture
of the battle. Only at certain points was the
conflict tough, but at these points, our casualties
were heavy. The Germans offered two strong
tank battles against the British at Caen and
Tilly. These attacks were repeated, and the
British were repulsed before they were able to
retake Tilly.
Tough Resistance
AT Montebourg and Carentan in the Ameri
can sector, we encountered costly fighting.
' At Montebourg our men were driven, back by
superior power, yet in the end were able to re
take the town.
The famed ninth division, which cut across
the Cherbourg isthmus and croked that city,
fpught this isolated bitter engagement. The
nazis had cleverly defended orchards, wooded
hills, and particularly hedges along the roads.
After we had spanned the isthmus the going
was easier, but we had trouble at Valognes.
The Germans tried to fight their way out of
the Cherbourg entrapment, but 39,000 or more
remnants of three divisions were finally bottled.
The ninth division earlier had distinguished
Itself in the difficult and dangerous advance
down that northern highway of Sicily where
blown tunnels and bridges high above the sea
Impeded their path, and also fought well In
Tunisia. While others may claim credit for
having pushed the isthmus cutting drive half
way across, it was the ninth alone which fin
ished the task.
While Cherbourg Is destroyed, It will be no
more difficult for us to use than was Naples.
There, we were able to re-establish docking
facilities in an amazing few days.
In short, the nazit now are tough only In
spots.
a a
Jap Morale Thinning
IN the Pacific also, Jap morale is being notice
ably stretched. If she had any airplane pro
duction comparable to ours, we would - not
have dared go into Saipan. The bulk of what
she has, is concentrated in southern Japan, for
home protection, and in North China.
The shock of losing 300 naval planes in our
first landing operation was a terrific blow, th
extent of which could be detected In the Jap
broadcasts. Their radioed accounts to their
. people seemed to have an apologetic tone, prom
ising, for instance, that "the importance of
Saipan will not be overlooked."
But she would not have used these navy
planes if she had had what she primarily
needed for the defense of Saipan land-based
air armadas stationed at the nearby islands she
controls. In Burma and South China, she like
wise has not been able to show much strength
above ground, and everyone knows the exten
sive losses to her ocean shipping.
The desperateness of her situation Is evident
also behind the fact that she bad to send her
fleet to contest our Saipan operations. She
could well risk her entire sea battlepower
at that point, for if we get Saipan and establish
our land-based bombers there, we can reduce
the nearby bases of Tlnian (just about as well
fortified as Saipan), Guam and Yap. Defense
of her homeland or her shipping routes against
those bases would be impossible.
Consequently, authorities here have scaled
forward their various estimates as to when
Japan will crack. The average estimate Is that
she will not last long enough to suffer the final
.concentration of our fleet and air force after
the defeat of Germany, but will surrender be
fore these forces destroy her.
