Third Spear
A third American spear was
pointed at Manila from the.
southwest, in Batangas province,
where the eleventh airborne di
vision landed virtually unoppos

tured an airfield within 40 miles
ot the capital, . . .
Neither of the two columns
speeding 'on Manila from the
north met anything but scat
tered, ineffective resistance as
they rolled along fine highways
which converge a few miles
north of the city. There was no
indication the Japanese would
put up a stand.

This view is based primarily
on the theory that If the old Ger

leadership, has been capable of
effecting a surrender, they would
have capitulated as soon as it
' became apparent that their mili
tary force alone would not be
able to stem the attacks from

. - Trouble Foreseen
James Miksak, chief of the
northwest solid fuels rationing
branch of the OPA in Seattle,
declared that solid fuels men
have been in the Klamath area
off and on for a year-and-a-lialf
and that they knew there would
be trouble here and have been
working with fuel dealers to al
leviate the situation.
Th.. f)PA authorized the ship
ping of 3000 cords of wood
from Redmond and Eugene.
Miksak said, and shipments have!
been arriving every few days.
The chief concern is what prep-
aration may be made for next
winter, he stated, and the chief
hope lies in getting a fuel supply
from closer sources than Eugene
and Redmond.
"The OPA would rather have
10 per cent of the fuel left over
at the end of the year than to
have a crisis develop in the com
munity." said Miksak.
. Shortage Problems
The main problems against
bringing fuel in are the shortage
of truck tires, lack of available
railroad facilities, and price. Ac
cording to an estimate based on
statements of fuel suppliers,
there are approximately 15,000
cords of wood available from
closed sources, but they cannot
be shipped in due to one or more
of thes difficulties.
Miksak suggested that the
problem could be worked out by
conferences between wood sup
pliers from Bly, Keno, and Bray,
Calif, who have fuel available,
and OPA and ODT representa
tives. Robert Ebersolc, assistant dis
trict manaaer of-the ODT from
Portland, said the tire situation
was critical, but that he would
recommend some be released for
use in this area to alleviate the
present fuel condition.
Officials of the Klamath naval
air station stated that a conver
sion was being experimented
with there with a mixture of
coal and hogged fuel. Should
this prove successful it would
undoubtedly tend to relieve the
situation.
It was felt that much progress
had been made in the past six
weeks through the splendid co
operation of the committee and
fuel dealers here and that the
problem was being dealt with in
a capable manner with further
relief expected soon.

The German military com
monlHlor Col. Ernst von Ham
mer declared the "western bank
of the Oder has now been
mopped up of Russian forces"
after one spearhead had won a
temporary bridgehead near
Kustrin.
Moscow dispatches said soviet
artillerymen already were
pumping shells into Kustrin, 40
miles northeast of Berlin. Kust
rin and Frankfurt form the last
major barriers before Berlin.
South of Kustrin other Rus
sian vanguards plunged forward
from captured Drossen, 14 miles
northeast of Frankfurt and 51
miles duo east of Berlin. The
fall of this communications hub
represented the greatest gain
yesterday for the Russians with
a 15-milo plunge straight
through the heavily reinforced
German lines.
DNB Broadcast
Interrupted
LONDON, Feb. 3 (P) A
broadcast of the official German
news agency DNB was interrupt
ed without explanation tonight
with the exclamations "The end,
the end."
News transmissions were
broken up frequently with ex
elumations "Schluss! Schluss!"
Veteran listeners said this was
a most unusual procedure and
that "schluss," meaning "end,"
never was used in any routine
transmissions.
One possible explanation was
that the broadcast operators
were showing the effects of to
day's heavy bombing in Berlin.

undertaken when manpower be
comes available to formulate
plans for the use and develop
ment of water and hydroelectric
resources.
Fortas did not mention the
current study of the U. S. army
engineers of a plan, for divert
ing Klamath water to the Sacra
mento river watershed, which
would eliminate the Klamath
river as a power stream. The en
gineers have indicated they are
collaborating with the reclama
tion bureau (which Fortas repre
sents!, fish and wildlife service,
and federal power commission,
in their diversion study.
Hence,- it appeared that one
government agency is working
on a plan to eliminate power pos
sibilities on the Klamath and
another is planning a survey
looking toward their development.
The most important phase of
Klamath's agricultural develop
ment lies in the continued de
velopment of those crops wc
raise better than anyone else
potatoes, a 1 s i k e clover and
brewing barley was the word
of Charles Henderson, county
agricultural agent, in a report
of 1944 farm production to the
Klamath rolls uoiarv ciuo rn-
"Water is the bloodstream of
our whole agricultural life here,
and it should be the concern of
evcrv Klamath citizen to sec
that our water rights are fully
oro ectcd and that waicr is tuny
developed," Henderson said.
Ho told of growers' problems
in overcoming the setbacks of
the cold, dry 1044 spring weath
er, and of the problems in mak
ing use of Mexican nationals,
German war prisoners and other
unusual supplies of labor. Fine
weather for fall harvest was
cited as one natural bright spot
in the year.
Henderson was introduced to
the club by Scott Warren, chair
man of the day, who outlined
the general agricultural devel
opment in the basin since the
days before first irrigation proj
ects. Editor's note: A table of the
1944 agricultural report may
