Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
IMMUNITY of farm workers from withholding
whom we have foregathered recently, is
tensity in this area.
With farm wages hero as high as any place
in the country, and comparing s
favorably with the wages paid .5
for work in other lines, there 1 .
is a feeling here among other
classes of workers and their
employers that the present
law, which exempts agricul
tural workers from withhold
ing taxes, is unfair discrimin
ation. There is also i strong sus
picion in this area that many
transient agricultural laborers
somehow escape their just
share of Income taxes.
While farmers would not welcome the book
keeping and bother involved in withholding
taxes for their employes, some of them have
recently expressed themselves in agreement
with the contention that withholding taxes, if
applied to one class of employe, should be
applied to all.
If there is as much interest generally as is
indicated in this area, extension of withholding
taxes to farm workers may become an important
issue before congress.
That Bond Lag
A FAVORITE talk topic, in the groups with
whom we have forgathered recently, is
the question as to what is causing the lag in
the war bond campaign.
Concern over the Sixth War Loan drive is
felt not only in Klamath county, but apparently
ever this entire section of the Pacific coast
Some blame it on Santa Claus, pointing out that
the campaign is unfortunately : running right
along with Christmas shopping. Others contend :
that the reaction from the election has some-.
thing to do with it.
Two visitors from a nearby town, comment
ing on the problem, said this, in effect: "We
have discovered that it has been the same people
in campaign after campaign who have been
giving the drive to war bond efforts and have
been buying most of the bonds, while others
have shown no interest and have contributed
little in the way of purchasing. These people
are getting fed up. They think it is time for
somebody else to do a little work and to make
a few sacrifices."
That may offer a clue to at least one cause
of the bond campaign lag. Every man can
examine his own conscience and determine
whether he belongs in the shirker class.
0 o a
Not a Hospital
A HEADLINE in the Siskiyou News reminds
us how difficult it is to convince people
that the Klamath Marina Barracks' is not a
hospital. Says the News head:
"Major Joe Foss in Hospital at Klamath
Falls."
Major Joe Foss is not in any hospital. He
is at the Marine Barracks, doing a job there.
In his spare time he has done some hunting,
and could the News headwriter see him in
. action in a duck swamp, he would not regard
Major Joe Foss as a candidate for the hospital.
We thought the rugged Marine Barracks
football team had put an end to the delusion
that the local institution is a hospital.
Can You Match
This Sacrifice?
THE Navy Cross is the second highest combat
award in this nation. Behind it's presenta
tion usually is a story of almost unbelievable
deeds of heroism beyond the call of duty.
When the 22nd marines landed on Eniwetok
islet in February this year, Corporal Clifford
Gilbert, an acting communications man, covered
his shining red hair with a well camouflaged
helmet, squared his shoulders, and started fight
ing. For 12 hours he carried a reel of telephone
wire and a sound power phone to observation
posts ahead of the front lines. There, he'd
calmly survey the situation and call back the
enemy s position to his commanding officer-
always accurately, invariably benefitting the
lusscd, exhausted youths behind him.
When the enemy had been pushed back to
the last remaining tip of the island, Gilbert and
his company were faced with a fanatical, half
mad adversary. To wipo them out would be
costly and dangerous.
Two platoons moved up and attempted to
cross a Jap fire lane. Every man, except Gil
bert and three others were killed or wounded.
Gilbert was not hit he hooked his sound
power phone on the terminals and began calling
back the disposition of the enemy. Repeatedly,
the Japs started counterattacks, first on one
flank and then on another but Gilbert didn't
move he stayed and directed the reserve
platoon behind him into the most advantageous
positions.
There were 300 Nips SO yards in front of
him, firmly entrenched in well fortified pill
boxes when he called on tank destroyers to
knock them out and not until they came
up and the fortifications were eliminated, did
he return to his company.
Gilbert thought that his turn was next every
moment that he laid there but he continued to
do what he considered his duty because there
was a group of American men behind him
whose lives were in danger.
Can you honestly say that you arc behind
courageous men like Gilbert?

Today's Bible Verses
(From John III)
Marvel not that I said unto thec, Ye must
be born again.
The wind blowcth where it listeth, and thou
hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is
every man born of the spirit , . .
If I have told ye earthly things, and yet be
lieve not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of
heavenly things . . ,
For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.

The War Today
By DaWITT MaeKENZIE
Associated Press War Analyst
BERLIN commentators continue to insist that
General Eisenhower has assigned to Field
Marshal Montgomery and his 21st army group,
on the allied northern wing, the task of de
livering tho assault calculated to break through
the nazi defenses and precipitate the crisis in
the battle of the Cologne plain.
Well, far be it from us to argue that point.
As a matter of fact, we find no flaw in the
idea. A powerful flanking movement on that
northern wing certainly may be the high "C"
of the allied offensive.
And what captain could handle it better than
the great Montgomery, who won his marshal's
baton as one of the war's greatest tactical ex
perts. That operation will call for quick and
sure judgment.
a
Haymaker Coming
-AHAT Berlin doesn't know, however, and
VV what we don't know, is when General
Ike is likely to swing his haymaker. My own
idea is that it now depends largely on the
weather clear skies for the all-important air
forces, and frost that will tighten up the awful
fields of mud.
Up to this point there have been other factors
causing delay. One, of course, has been the
necessity of ironing out strategical lumps in
the allied battlelinc as a while, and, while
there still is spade work to be done, our front
seems fairly well set. Another vital factor has
related tb supplies, but this problem now has
been solved by the opening only four days ago
of the great port of Antwerp. And what a re
lief that was!
a a a a
Up To Weather Man
THAT puts it up to the weather man, who's
been mighty unfriendly to our side. Still,
the allied command was well aware that the
old fellow, was bound to be short-tempered at
this time of year. Thus Eisenhower acted de
liberately when he took his chances again with
the elements against which he has pitted his
wits steadily since the stormv crisis nf th
Normandy invasion. j
So today we see Nazi Field Marshal von j
Rundstedt's 400-mile battle line under the fierce !
pressure of six allied armies with other allied i
forces ready to come into action. He has
committed about everything he can muster to
the final defense. Both sides arc poised for the
big test which will indicate how long the

The Truth Shall Make You
Free
In the midst of conflicting religious teaching and
denominational error of the world today. It Is wonderful
to know that there is one thing that can cast out error:
Truth is as precious today as ft has ever been and Is likewise
as powerful. The word of God, which is trulh, is as potent
today in destroying error as ever; and even today the word
of God. which cannot be broken, still says, "The word which
gooth forth out of my mouth shall not return unto me void,
but will accomplish the purpose whereunto I hare lent It,"
Many churches and preachers have died spiritually,
while increasing in numbors, because they have turned from
the truth. Those- who accept their invitation and "join"
them in thoir work, which is not a work of preaching the
truth but is a suppression of the truth, are not fro from
In and error but are only more deeply embedded tn It,
Those who suppress the truth; those who compromise with
error for popularity; those who preach the pleasing platl.
tudes .which tickle the ears of men; all such are like unto
the robed Pharisees of old who would compan sea and
land to make one proselyte and, when he had become
such, he was twofold more a child of hell than before,
Jesus said.
Truth must be preached. Truth must be contrasted
with error. Truth must be used as the sword to destroy
error and free those in its grasp. Truth must be preached
In pulpit and press; In tract and book, In sermon and song,
until It shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.
