Thompson seems to be hav- ing the kind of trouble others have had in attempting to gei men from other places for work here cool treatment by other -United States employ ment service directors. Lumber was placed in the top bracket a few weeks ago EPLEY by the war manpower commission, and it was assumed here that meant there would be gov ernment agency cooperation in getting men for producing this critical war material here. It hasn't worked out that way, yet. - The WMC recently ordered the representa tive of one local mill to stop hiring men for Klamath Falls out of the Portland area, and the midwestern attempt apparently is receiv ing similar treatment. 8-Hour Limit ANOTHER phase of the manpower problem is indicated in an article appearing in the current issue of the March of Pine, Weyer haeuser magazine ediied by Charles Mack. Recently, Weyerhaeuser shut down two of the four big handsaws on the night shift be cause of lack of labor. This followed the com pany's receipt of a letter from the local IWA union to the effect that no man is to work more than a normal eight-hour day. . ''If you cannot get the work done in eight hours, you : should hire more men instead of calling the men back for overtime," said the union letter. Hiring more men isn't as easy as that, and Weyerhaeuser, which had previously been using men willing to work extra time to replace ab sentees on the night shift, cut production ' to half on that shift. Our Service Folks , WHAT Klamath is doing for the service men stationed here is fine and commendable, but at the same time we should not forget our own resident men and women who occasionally get home on leave. Their own families take care of them pretty well, of course, but any thing we can do as a community and as home town folks to jnake their. stay more pleasant should not be overlooked. ,1 i That is one reason The Herald and News has started a daily registry ofservice men and women who are home on leave. - We need cooperation in making this registry as complete .as possible, and we hope that those who know these men and women will extend hospitality ' to them while they are here. Right along that line, we received word from Lloyd Lamb, manager of the local theatres today, that he wiU have two free theatre passes for every man and woman whose name ap pears in our "Home on Leave" registry. That's the spirit we are talking about. The War Today By DeWITT MaeKENZIE T Associated Pr.ii War Analyst HE Chinese success in breaking the Japanese tlS. 0 ,the strateeic junction of Hengyane, ' heuPe'P,?g-Hankow3antoa railroad, is one Of the best pieces of news to come out of China In a blue moon. 4 This victory, which was torn by main force out of a very grave situation, gives at least I temporary relief, from the poweriui Nipponese offensive which has threatened to cut China in two, from north to south, and. thereby .vastly increase the allied difficulties of ousting the invaders from the continent. The peril isn't yet past, but the gallant Chinese have won a memorable breathing spoil on .me .scvemn aiv niversary of their neighbor's barbaric attack on them. Air Force Aids LEST we get a distorted perspective of the - position it must be pointed out that the American air force under Major uenerai inen nault contributed heavily to the victory by de moralizing ' the Japanese supply lines. The Chinese army is woefully weak in all categories of war supplies, and one hates to think what must have happened long ago but for this air support. This deep-seated Japanese offensive, which was begun a couple of months ago, was inspired by fear of two contingencies amphibious in vasion Of southern China by the allies, and bombing of Japan from American airfields in southern China. The drive was aimed at con trol of the thousand-mile trunk railway running from Peiping in the north to Canton on the south coast. The Nipponese long had held the northern section of this line, but lacked a vital stretch of several hundred miles .In the south. Quick Communication " Ir the Japanese were successful It would give them quick communication for troops and supplies all the way from Manchuria to Canton and Hongkong an essential if they had to de fend the south coast against Invasion. While Japanese success in capturing the Pelp-ing-Canton road, thus raising a barrier through the heart of China, would create grave diffi culties for the allies, It wouldn't prevent the latter from finishing off Tojo's gangsters. That job is well on its way' already, as witness America s fresh attack on the Nipponese main land with our mammoth B-29s. Coincident with the victory at Hengyang, General Chennault made this interesting fore east: 'The time will come soon," perhaps before another 13 months have' passed, when the Japanese- will be driven forever from Chinese soU."
