EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued from Pago One) played down and the good news nas been played up. UEGlNWhuG with Pearl Har bor. WIIAT has happened really " Isn't much of a mystery. The turn of the European war came with El Alameln and Stal ingrad. After these disasters, the nazls GAVE UP their idea of conquering the world and STARTED HOME.

There have been heavy losses, of course, but what was LEFT (all veterans) provided the core of the reserves with which the Germans arc now SALLYING OUT of their fortress walls and STRIKING. We didn't need spies to tell us that. It has been evident on the face of the news. IT still looks, if wo can believe the news we get, as if Von Rundstedt Is being PUSHED AWAY from our critically lm porlant Antwerp supply line and kissed off to the south and west whenever lie tiles to TURN NORTH. That, If true, Is encouraging. 4 IN the Pacific, Manila's airfields are bombed for the fourth straight day by our land-based planes operating, probably, from our new fields on Mindoro, which are only ISO miles away.

Former Klamath Man Said Guilty A verdict of guilty against William Johnston, charged with assault while armed with a deadly weapon, was returned Thursday in Yreka following a two-day trial. Johnston was charged with stabbing August Turner, Tule lakc farmer, last spring during an altercation at Tulelakc. Johnston is a former Klamath Falls resident.
