Today's Roundup
' . 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

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.

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
