Whitehead said. The Siegfried
defenses were penetrated -more
than two weeks ago southeast

German counterattacks early
today were surprisingly feeble,

"Those counterattacks dicmt
have the tip and sting normally
to be expected from first line

'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

actions. Opposing units are wat

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

Germans were firing artillery in
the heaviest concentrations of
the invasion.

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.

illness dictated his decision to
retire, has been Louie's right
hand assistant in the business.
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."
