Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY JAPANESE -AMERICAN hunger strikers at the Tulelake segregation center apparently did a Pretty good ioh nSJSSS Isolated in me swtMi ......... than promoting their release. By resorting to a bizarre pressure effort, they put the . VVtlA on uis -" - - when, we understand, release pfeX of all or most oi me vruume makers on probation was un der serious consideration. WRA will not yield to such pressure, of course, and the men remain in the stockade or ,. 4 Via KAnto,. Vincnital. If the Japanese stockade oc- EPLEY eupants really want out, they cooked their own goose. If they want to make martyrs of themselves, that is something else. At the time of a previous hunger strike, there were evidences that some of the stockade occupants were chiseling with secret caches of food and vitamin pills. A little of that, once discovered by others who are starving them selves for "the cause," raises ned with a hunger strike. e e The Two Second Districts THE congressman of the second district of California, Clair Engle, paid Klamath county a quick visit today en route to the Tule lake and Alturas countries. The state line between this Oregon area, and a part of Engle's district, has little significance except as a nuis ance. Engle's district, he believes, is the biggest In the United States. It runs south to Death Valley, west almost to the coast, and east to the Nevada line. Running it a close second in size is the Oregon second district, which adjoins it on the north. Engle gets quite a kick out of his relations, as a neighbor congressman, with Lowell Stock man of the Oregon second district. Engle is of small stature, while Stockman, as every body knows, towers about 6 feet 6 and weighs tome 280 pounds. "If Stockman will run interference for me, I'll carry the ball any time," says Engle. I, Engle is running for re-election as the demo cratic nominee. His district is not exactly New Dealish in prevailing sentiment, and ap parently he stays off the New Deal bandwagon, despite his democratic affiliation. News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, July 26 These reports out of Sweden and Switzerland on the Ger. man revolution are always open to suspicions or exaggeration. The Germans long have had their rumor agents well planted. True also Hitler may well have decided to make a virtue out of the purge. Dic tators have done that before. But you need go no farther than the Russia front to know the end is nigh. His military situation has become indefen sible in any substantial or dur- aoie manner. The end should MALLON be a matter of a few weeks, or at the most months. Perhaps the best indication of the actual con- IK) dttion is a letter the Russians captured from the pocket of the nazi tank General Hoffmeister. It sounded like what a 'German tank general might well say and is considered authentic. Hoffmeister related how he had been called all the way back, to Berlin from the fighting front last May to hear a speech by der fuehrer to assembled eastern generals. Desperate Conditions HITLER talked along in an easy way saying he and national socialism had been in desperate conditions before, that he had always surmounted these trying times, and he suggested with polite but unmistakable innuendo that they read the history of national socialism and study Its nazi application. The younger generals showed some enthus iasm for this line of talk, but the older generals asked where they would get the soldiers, planes and tanks to defend these words. Hoffmeister complained of contrary orders later received, first to withdraw, then to hold, and of the lack of reinforcements which fin ally caused his tank group to be annihilated. These same older generals are the ones who led the revolt. Since the middle of June the Russian advance has been little more than a march. Put no trust in the planted Swiss reports that none of the revolutionary or dis senting generals were on mat eastern irom. e Resentment Evident BY far the greatest resentment against Hitler has been evident on that line since Stalin grad. At no point yet have they been able to defend a line, although one was promised (a stout one, the Germans said) running from Riga to Odessa. Odessa has long since gone and Riga is out flanked, and probably surrounded. The nazis just do not have the men and materials for a real fighting effort and the generals know it best. It is possible now that the. reds will run into some strong defensive points around Warsaw, but no other defense line into Germany looks . like anything important. ' Talk of a Vistula river line is as circuitous as the river' itself which may offer a natural defense, due to its width in the south, .but the Russians are known to have made great concentrations centering on that southern front,' particularly in the Lwow area. - What we must look for next is a pause in the Russian marching to bring up ' communications lines. That they have gone as far and as fast as they have without stopping for this necessity is truly remarkable. '. Trapped Men Removed BUT the pause is apt to be governed by a switch in Russia emphasis to the Lwow area. (The nazis probably, have removed most of their 300,000 men reported trapped in the Baltic states by this time.) " In Normandy the same nazi weakness is evi dent. The slow fighting there lately has merely represented our upbuilding of strength for the . push ahead. While the nazis have 60 divisions in France and the lowlands, they have been able to pre sent us with only 24 on the Normandy line, and obviously are in a situation where they cannot build up much, else they would have, in view ot the time allowed. . , Only in Italy can they hope to hold out for long. There, they are retiring upon a moun' tainous short line (Gothic) upon which they once had 20,000 Italian laborers at work pre paring positions, and in all, spent at least six months building positions which could be de fended by a weak force. ' - The Po river line behind that one is indefen sible considering the size of their force- Thus it is the young German officers who are as much responsible for the continuation of this war as is Hitler. They are the ones who answer a question which has long been in my mind as to how in the world he could possibly maintain himself in the face of his situation. But they cannot long continue fanatically oduvious to the decisions in which so many of meir wiser emers iosi ineir lives. , HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON SIDE GLANCES Survey of Facilities, Materials Along Alaska Highway to Be Started EDMONTON Alfa T1 OB fCP) Col. F. S. Strong, com manding officer northwest serv. ice command, announced today that Canadian and American of- ncers will Begin Monday a sur vey of all facilities and mater ials the United States govern ment no longer has use for along the Alaska highway and these will be turned over to the Canadian government. Col. Strong said in an inter view that "we have nothing to . hide" concerning reports of equipment waste on the high way. "Criticism of waste is not unfounded from the viewpoint . of uninformed persons." He said it had taken a little time to get approval of a means of handing over equipment to , the Canadian government, "but we had it worked out before this unfavorable publicity hit . . us." , . ' Col. Strong conceded some mistakes may have been made. ''It can be that some officers have not always used the best Judgment, but they should not be criticized for derelection of duty. We are all guilty of it in time." ' Probably a lot of equipment ! has been sent back to the Unit ed States which never will be ' used," he said.

July 26 fAPt-Pye futures lost more than a cent today and oats were weak but the wheat market re sisted the down trend, supported by purchases for commercial Interests and the unwillingness of traders to press the selling side while price ere so near the loan level.
