Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
LAMATH'S lumber industry continue, to
K.' struggle with a serious manpower prob-
lem, and there is no inaicauuii ia a-
Little if any success nm
been-met by Otis Thompson,
sent Into, the midwest by one
of the lumber companies to at
tempt to hire men.
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."
