ACE TWO PUSH STRIKES TO GERMAN'S (Continued from Page One) Germans in underground tun nels end fortifications. Previous Break The breach- in the westwall seven miles above bested Aachen now extends roughly trom Frelcnberg, south of del lenkirchen. down tomkenrath. Whitehead said. The Siegfried defenses were penetrated -more than two weeks ago southeast of Aachen. , . German counterattacks early today were surprisingly feeble, one allied Hicer told White head. No Zip "Those counterattacks dicmt have the tip and sting normally to be expected from first line German infantry." he said. 'None of the attacks had that quality. The answer to that is that the enemy just hasn t got enough first class troops. There were indications that the Germans had been taken by surprise, and did not have re serves to mount heavy counter actions. Opposing units are wat ered down with old men, youths and non-Germans. The Americans broke jnto the fort on the Moselle river's west bank after a two-day battle, and set fire to crude oil sprayed into tunnels to underground fortifications in efforts to burn out the Germans. Other units captured Mazieres Les Metz, seven miles north of Metz. The U. S. first army men above Aachen fought with air and artillery support to widen their new breach in the Ger man westwall defenses. The Germans were firing artillery in the heaviest concentrations of the invasion. FDR Request to Lift Recording Ban Referred NEW YORK, Oct. 4 () James C.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Psge One) before--for only out of huge business volume can we get the huge volume of taxes that will be needed. (Remember that after the war the INTEREST BURDEN alone will be greater than the entire pre-New Deal cost of federal government.) That will create a problem. Here in Klamath Falls and Klamath county, wc are quite familiar with this problem. For years HALF of the taxes we've paid has gone for debt service (interest and repayment.) For tunately, we are just about out from under that burden. The rederal government is just going IN UNDER it. TN order to carry that burden and eventually get out from under it, we shall have to create a lot of wealth in order to pay a lot of taxes. If we are to do that (we CAN do it if given the opportunity), our government at Washington must have wise, SOUND fiscal (money) policies. In a speech last night, Gov ernor Bricker defined the New Deal fiscal policy as "SPEND, WASTE, BORROW AND TAX." In the years to come, such a policy can lead only to national bankruptcy. ; ,!' ' V-;.V. -TTHE New Dealers have never been much interested in creating new wealth. Their ideas have run along the lines of re-dividing what has already been created. The trouble with that is that you can't divide what ISN'T PRODUCED.

Louie Polin got into business for himself in 1904 in Cripple Creek, Colo. He had a job there folding papers for the Old Crip ple Creek Times at S3. 50 a week. From the fdtl'ng room, he went into the ; -s selling the papers, and on .ic news stand business. Boom Follows He got acquainted with Otto Floto. of Sells-Floto circus fame, who told him about the business opportunities of Goldfield, a mining boom town. He went to Goldfield, and for 13 vcars oper ated a news-stand, selling papers from all over the world, at Tex Rickard's famed corner. Louie was a colorful and important fig ure at the ringside at the Jeffries-Johnson fight in . Reno, in 1910, and at other famous sport ing events of those years. Ho went all over the country to boom towns, staying briefly at Tulsa, Okla., Oatman, Ariz., and many other hit spots of the oil and mining booms. Louie became the friend and confidante of many glamorous figures of the sporting world, such as Tex Rickard, and to this day he is good for colorful copy in the sports pages of west's best known newspapers. He always brings home a fistful of clippings from his trips. Always a showman, Louie is one of Klamath's most widely known residents. In the early stages of the war bond cam paigns, he had his spotted hunt ing dog, Reno, selling bonds, and Reno's contribution to the good cause won widespread attention. That was a typical Polin idea. At Wednesdays chamber of commerce luncheon, at which Louie was a guest, he said: "I've been in every boom town in the country. Klamath is the best town I've seen. I'm going away, but I'll serve as a good-will am bassador for this place." Lakeview Youth Gets Appointment .
