The purpose of the united drive is to get through the public money raising efforts here as rapidly as possible, with a minimum of inconven ience for drive workers and the public. A draggcd-out campaign of this nature often ends in failure, and leaves a bad after-taste. September 11 is the date set for the drive, which will raise some $65,000 for troop enter tainment. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Salvation Army, and the state war chest. If all Klamath county people will keep in mind that all of these agencies are to benefit, and they will not be asked again to give to any of them, the $65,000 community fund can be easily subscribed in the 10 -day period allotted for the campaign. If, on the other hand, people determine the amount they will give on the basis of a prev ious donation to just one or two of these beneficiaries, the drive will fail and hereafter people can be expected to be "hit" again and ' again for separate donations. The united fund idea in Klamath county is at stake in this drive. e Progress SOME slight progress has been made in the effort to obtain temporary housing for de pendents of marines stationed here. Letters written locally on the subject have been re ceived in Washington, and "referred" to cer tain departmental offices, and a navy lieutenant is said to have made a quick visit here last weekend in connection with the matter. It is to be hoped that whatever is to be done will be done soon. Local experience with at tempts to get federal action on housing in the war period has not been very pleasant, from that standpoint. It has been approximately one year since the navy knew it was going into a construction program at Klamath Falls, but the first federally-authorized house is not yet ready for occupancy. If the marines and their de pendents are to be helped, action-ought to onmo fnctnp titan 4Viat The need for this temporary housing became apparent after the arrival of., a considerable number of marines at the Marine Barracks. This was accompanied by an influx of wives and children of these men, who wanted to be with them after their return from the South Pacific. while the war department has not follower! V.tt policy of encouraging dependents to follow service men around from camp to camp, it was felt that the situation in respect to the returned marines located here is different, and that some provision ought to be made. The chamber of commerce, which is working on the matter, hag received excellent cooperation from the ad ministration at the Marine Barracks. People on the local end of an effort of this kind get a terrible feeling of futility as they deal back and forth with one government agency after another while precious time slips away. It is to be hoped the local experience with the marine dependent housing matter is different. ,-'.' Hollyhock Time rIS is hollyhock time in Kiamatn county, and the tall, colorful flowers adorn many a vacant lot and back fence line as well as the more carefully folded gardens. We like holly hocks, and one reason is that their sturdiness takes them into places that are otherwise ugly and productive only of weeds. There are certain places along our roadsides where hollyhocks would do much for appear ances with a minimum of care, or no care at . all, if once started. We would like to see them planted, for instance, along the highway be tween here and Midland. , There is enough sub-irrigation there to make them high and handsome, and at this period of the year they . would bring great joy to the traveler. iiiasi ii i snasj MALLON By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 Traveling Mr. Roosevelt and his war publicist, Elmer Davis, came back from the Pacific front with nromislntf but indefinite and almost warning reports about the time necessary to crush Japan. Tho common notion that "it will only take a few months" after Germany Is being cor respondingly altered here at least by official authorities. The new notion is that an other newly mounted cam paign next spring will be re quired and the end may not come until a year from now. So they say now. This deepening attitude is due to a new conception of tho military situation. Next logical steps for us in the Pacific are the Philippines, Formosa and the southern string of islands off the Jap mainland (Ryukyu islands, and even Kyushu, southernmost large Jap Island contiguous to the homeland group.) FDR Confirmation NO secret can be made of General Mac Arthur's intention to move promptly upon the Philippines. He promised it. The presi dent, after calling him to Honolulu, confirmed the promise. We cannot go anywhere in the Pacific with out air coverage. Dangers of landing and sus taining troops subject to Jap air attack are too great to be considered. . From this basic consideration has grown the strategy of pushing our land bases for air power steadily forward. This progress has reached the Guam-Saipan frontier, which Mr. Davis promises will lead now to the next steps ("not long" were his words, but every good democratic politico here hopes MacArthur will be back In the Philippines before election day). The bulk of the Jap armies are strewn ever the thousands of miles of Asia from Manchu kuo to Burma (no longer India, from which they now have been chased). Conceivably, we could establish beachheads on the South China coast and open a sea route to Chungking. Our people may be reluctant to do this without air bases on Formosa and in the Philippines to cover that operation. e Weapons, Food Needed BUT what is needed to annihilate Jap fight ing power in China, is not necessarily our armies, but weapons and food for the limitless number of Chinese who want to do the job. The source of Jap military power, however, is not in their far-flung armies but in the group of large islands known as the Jap main land. If Japan proper could be conquered, the armies in China and elsewhere must fall for lack of supplies, weapons, even food, as the whole Jap distribution system would be destroyed. As we have 100 aircraft carriers plus the overwhelming Pacific seapower we know we control, plus whatever will be released from Europe as Germany falls, why not create an armada sufficiently powerful to blast straight into Tokyo, carrying our air coverage with us? It would save a lot. of chasing around and heavy fighting for preliminary positions. Jap airpower is still a little better than the German, but not much. They have production while nazi factories practically have been ex tinguished by our air bombardment. Also, a considerable army remains on home Jap sou. see Task Not Beyond Plan THE air force would have to be met and I defeated first, then the land force, but the task is not beyond assured, daring planning. Incidentally, we have an admiral in charge o f acme operations, the only front at which the navy controls. If we could do it at Saipan, we can do it in the Jap center at home or on a China beach head. In case we head straight in; the war should not require another year. As for the land fighting in China and Burma, we are only marking time, as far as grand strategy goes. Nothing pleasant can be reported about the Jap successes on the Yel low river (Hengyang). Talk survives that they may try to organize a winter campaign west ward to go into Chungking by the back door, but this seems an undertaking beyond their ability. The monsoon has been on in Burma since mid-May. They said we could never fight during the rains. But General Stilwell first showed them how and Mountbatten planned similarly, so we have accomplished limited, yet unbelievable successes. The rains will be over In . three or four weeks. Then there will be more action. SIDE GLANCES p " 1 cowt ism ay ma Slavics, wc- T st ato. u. a, pat Off 0-21 "How's the serial about the poor widow with the broken leg coming? Also my dinner?"

During this trio ho "Inspected" many war plants, and conforred with' ucnoriii iviiicArimir anct Admiral Nlmltz In Hawaii. At a press conference yestfr dny tho president studiously avoided uny reference to repub lican charges that hit trip had political Implications. Instead no discoursed at length on broad policies of post-war strategy and our victory alma. In view of tho 1040 precedent, however, wo fall to see how the administration can pretend that politics was not involved in the president's trip. After all there was no occasion for Roosevelt to "Inspect" clthor war nlanta or military and naval installations. Our wur industries have been doing very well, and we huvo .military and naval leaders far mora competent than the presi dent for Inspection of our fight ing forces. Republicans for some time have been predicting that Roose velt will sidestep domestic Is sues, and make the 1044 cam paign as "commnndor-ln-chlef." By appearing before large groups of war workers he will seek to cap !ti re tholr votes, as ho did in 11)40. As for tile rest of the nation, he will seek to cre ate tho impression that, as commander-in-chief of our armed forces, he is the "Indispensable man." By turning the spotlight on tho Pacific, now that It ap pears as though Germany might be defeated before tho Novem ber election, the president inters that he personally Is responsible in a lurgo measure for our suc cesses on this front, and should be retained in office until this phaso of tho war also ends. Conveniently Ignored Is the fuct that MacArthur and Nlmltt were getting along splendidly on their respective fronts, without any advlro from tho White House. Give thorn the men and materiel that they need and they will win the war ngalnst Japan, regardless of whether Rooevelt or Dewoy Is our next president. Freezing of Labor In Portland Eyed PORTLAND.
