By MALCOLM EPLEY THE Jap shortwave radio, which we pick up occasionally on our home set, is striving heroically to take the European war news m K!saraript MALLON 1 f EPLEY stride. -Smashed" is the favorite word of the Jap news an nounced in describing the out come of Allied assaults against the Nazis. Strangely enough, these "smashed" attacks carry the Allies right along in the U direction of uermany, as a comparison of the geographi cal place-names used ill the Jap broadcasts will show. A while back, the Nazis were smashine the Allies near the Normandy coast. Now they are smashing them north and east of Paris. Ultimately, we suppose, the smashed Allied forces will march into Berlin. This is the same Jap radio which reported the happiness of the Nazis over the invasion of the Normandy coast in June. The Germans, said the announcer then, wanted to see as many Allied divisions land as possible, because that would mean more Allied fighting men would be destroyed on the continent. A listener got the idea that the Germans, if asked, might be willing to furnish the ships to bring them over to the slaughter. : , . a New Note A COMMENTATOR on the Jap radio the other night sounded a new note on the Pacific situation which, it seemed to us, hinted of just a tiny weakening of confidence in mili tary victory for Japan. ' The theme of his rather cleverly worded har rangue was that no matter how successful the Allies might be in the Pacific military fight, they bad lost the political fight once and for all in "Greater East Asia." The peoples there had gotten a taste of the beautiful-political program of Japan, arid, no military development could change that. ; : Such admissions of possible Allied military triumphs had no place in boastful Jap broad casting a few months ago. Give the Japs a few more months, ' and they may not be so cheerful about the political situation A Plea For Waves i'ji GOOD-HEARTED woman we know stopped us on the street yesterday and suggested we say something here in behalf of navy Waves stationed at the Klamath naval air station. c-rShe told of a" conversation-' with a . Wave, who noted that virtually all the home hospital ity undertaken here benefits men of the serv ices. The girl said she just longed to curl up in a big chair in a home living room and revel in atmosphere that is in sharp contrast with barracks no matter how nice those barracks may be. ,. iMaybe this Is something that has been over looked here, aqd Klamath people, who want to do things for our service folks, should extend more hospitality to Waves. This suggestion, incidentally, is not intended for any wolves around town. Required Reading ' THERE was some hesitancy, in our newspaper office, about using the fifth war year an niversary story on local casualties which ap--pears elsewhere in today's paper. It is not pleasant reading, and to many it will revive memories tinged' with deep sorrow. V; But it is a story that should . be told. We still need to know and face the bitter facts of 'war. Persons who have suffered no personal loss need to be reminded that others have so : suffered. Those who let petty selfishness inter fere with the things they might do for our cause (yes,-it does happen, right here at home) need to be. jolted into a realization that scores of our own men have been killed or wounded, -v Casualty, news is not nice reading but it should be required reading on the home front. SIDE GLANCES By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 There Is no strat egy in this final disintegration of the war in Europe, except that which is evident. The Germans have lost me war, 'know it, are running, stopping ' to fight wherever they can cluster a show of re sistance to delay bur. advance. Tny could not defend. Paris because- that would require maintenance of the Seine river line across France ,and they had insufficient men. ; . Thou- generals have- tried to ' improvise a ..line further north' Hn the Summe-Aisne, . . it l..a ,w,,ffiiMfnt .... ... ,.it,.Wthnt..for lolitt either. Not much more than v a delaying; action is likely tlicrc. Their military eyes are really cost back to the Maginot-Siegfried lln nw- These aro sliH strong positions at the central German border, but thev will be worthless to the nazis unless the Belgian forts can be properly man ned to maintain tire flank in the Lowlands. The last battle of the war for us might de velop there. General Eisenhower's plan originally intend ed that the southern invasion force should meet the Normandy force around Dijon-Belfoit and seal off the bulk of southwest. France. But when he found how hollow and weak the nazis.. were behind their .front lines, his fast moving mechanical cavalry under General Patton was sent northward before reaching Belfort, in an effort to cut the nazi retreat to the Belgian forts, while the infantry pushed straight ahead up the channel coast toward the same forts. .- , Speed Is Necessity - SPEED is the driving necessity ' for success of his purpose, never to allow the enemy to rest, regroup or dig in, but to keep push ing, fighting - ' " We are a little ahead of the- Russians In this race to Berlin.- " -. The reds had to let up for the past three weeks, directing their attention toward knock ing Romania and Bulgaria out of the war and threatening to enter Germany by . the back door (they will get Bucharest and the iron gate and Carpathian mountain passes leading to Ger many via Hungary, Czechoslovakia). But they will revert again now to the Polish front and drive straight for the German capital. Truth is, they ran into more nazi resistance than they expected, not only at Warsaw, but on the East Prussian border and in the Baltic. The nazis have strong forces still on those fronts. Hitler cannot hope to surrender to us on the western front without quitting also to Russia. The terms are not only unconditional surrender but indivisible, and the agreement on this can not or will not be broken. To guess when this will come is foolish, but personal estimates of military authorities now run through October and November. Of all of-Hitler's crimes against civilization, his final tactics in this war are the most fiend . ish.- Not even his savage, inhuman atrocities on minorities cost as many lives as his refusal to surrender a cause lost months ago, and the maintenance of the' slaughter of his own people and others needlessly, even to the continuance of a robot campaign against England which could only be justified by a madman. '- Cannot Atone IF HE could be put into a robot himself as a I projectile and shot to his death, not even then would justice be done for his crime, not even if he had a. hundred lives. His 'tactics are being interpreted by some as an indication he is already fighting the next war, that both he and his forces are making their way underground to hide, pillage and sabotage indefinitely. The fascist militia is being organized for that purpose, even has the name "militia" to give itthe fighting standard of the Maquis. Such continuance o f resistance has been threatened at the close of every war, has never been successful and will not be. Snipers soon lose their zest in the face of machine guns and 35 mm. cannon. Rats can be driven from any lair by military fumigation.. Our military conquest will subdue the fascists completely, as far as violence is threatened by them. But Kurt Dittmar's unofficial German radio plea for better terms thus sounds false and de ceptive against Hitler's military tactics. The plea was no doubt offered to inspire our people to ask our. generals why they do not make peace, to create some American pressure to ease up. : Hitler is still Hitler to the end. .( tl.'ttflMKf v-.V 2Li .

A Theme Song Fcr Th Busin KLAMATH FALLS Ore., (To the Editor) Some one com mented in my presence quite re-, cently that "the drone of the tractor should be the theme song for the Klamath basin." Recalling that remark today, I have come to see what an apt suggestion that really was. With hundreds of tractors at work on our farms from the time the first furrow is turned in the spring, until the last sack of po tatoes or onions is safely housed in the fall that sound is ever with us. If not on one's own acres, then on neighbor Joe's or Ben's or Bill's, whom-evcr one's neighbors may chance to be. After plowing comes seeding, either of grain, clover, alfalfa or peas. Potatoes, too, must be planted. And then comes the cultivation of long rows of ten der green shoots to keep riotous weeds under control tor wnere ever crops flourish weeds' also thrive. And throush it all. a hurry. hurry hurry tension lest one fall behind with work on the farm. Klamath basin is a splendid country, wide and long, with endless acres oi ricn, lerine iana. Land that never fails to produce, owing to our abundant water supply. To be sure, all of us dislike dust storms the spring; sum mer suns may sometimes burn a trifle; winter winds prove cniuy or the fear of unseasonable frosts disturb our slumbers. But what country is entirely free of minor irritations? I asked a friend the other day. a man who has spent practically his whole lite here, u ne naa ever seen an entire crop failure in the basin? To be answered with a lusty "never." Then he laughed and went on to say, "Of course, I was away from here for a few years at one time; but when I returned all the people were still here. No one nad starved to death." But to get back to tractors. Certainly there was a time, and not so long ago either, when sweatine horses clodded the length of interminable rows and there was no drone of the tractor to cause strangers to comment on its ceaseless music. So why not let them furnish, now that they bound in the land, a theme song for the Klamath basin .
