Today's Roundup
' By MALCOLM EPLEY
THE Klamath Indians' proposal for repeal of
Indian prohibition Is winning more sympa
thetic consideration now than at any time in
our recollection of the dis
cussion of this issue.
; 4 After hearing the matter
. presented, the Klamath Cham
i bar of commerce Indian affairs
committee favored the In
dians' proposal. The chamber
board adopted the committee's
report, the only dissent being
on the grounds that possibly
it was a matter in which the
chamber shouldn't participate.
An nhviouslv favorable re
sponse was won by the Indian EPLEY
spokesmen' who appeared this week before the
Klamath Kiwanis club.

Indian Service Men
POSSIBLY one reason for the change in
public opinion on this matter at this time
is the obvious discrimination among Indian and
white service men. Many Indians have fought
for the country in this war, and some have died
of been wounded. This emphasizes the question
. of. distinction between Indians and white
soldiers in the matter of liquor purchase.
: -An acquaintance of ours knows a Klamath
. Indian who is just back from service with the
armed forces overseas. This Indian was a guest
in.-, his home, and he offered him a highball.
The Indian refused, saying he would like to
have a drink, but under the circumstance, he
wouldn't want to embarrass his host.
; The Indian's refusal was commendable. It
ias the thing for him to do, and probably the
liquor should not have been offered. We aren't
spying anybody should drink, Indian or white.
a
Conditions Change
BUT if liquor is available to one legally,' it
ought to be to another. That is the argu
ment offered by the Indians, and it makes sense
when it is added to the fact that the conditions
which brought about Indian prohibition in the
first place have long since changed.
1 Furthermore, prohibition isn't keeping In
dians from getting liquor. It .has created a
market for white renegades who make their
sales at enormous profits. -

R. W. Kohanki of Loveland, O.,

Johnson's arms were so numbed
by the 42-degree water he could
not hold it. Crewmen tried to
lower a small boat, but the high
seas defeated the effort.
Seaman John Connolly ' of

leaped over the side into the
cold water where he numbed
quickly but managed to reach
the struggling Johnson and pull
him to the ship's side. Crewmen
lowered ropes to. hoist them
aboard but the icy waters made
Connolly's hands so numb he
could not lash the rope around
his mate.
Seaman A. G. Howard of
Montgomery, Ala., jumped over
board and knotted the rope
around the wearv Johnson, who
was pulled to the deck. Connolly
and Howard were hoisted
aboard a moment later.
Johnson was in the water

Of course any effort to forecast what will
happen when we make the grand assault on
Nippon would be pure speculation and this
is no forecast. As a matter of fact we aren t
sure at this time that wc shall have to land

Preparations
ALL in all, the gods of war were kind to
the allies when our gallant men swarmed
up the beach-heads in France. We had feared
terrible casualties, and the United States army
medical department had made colossal prepare.
tions to handle the wounded. Quite apart from
the host of corpsmen and equipment to be
landed, we had waiting in England 8000 doctors,
more than 10,000 nurses, 1600 dentists, and
100,000 medical and surgical technicians to care
ifor the wounded. In storage were 800,000 pints
of blood plasma; 600,000 doses of pcnnicillin;
, 2,000,000 surgical instruments and so on with
out end.
But we didn't have to use all this, heaven
Our casualties were far less than
had been expected (total American casualties in
the first 11 days were 15,883, of whom 3283
Less than one per cent of our
wounded who reached medical stations died.

Softening Factors
AMONG the factors which softened D-Day
for the attackers were these: (1) We had
great air superiority and the German luftwaffc
was fairly well grounded; (2) The Hitlerites
delayed their armored attack too long; (3) The
enemy didn't know just where the invasion
was coming, and consequently was unable to
concentrate his forces.
One doubts whether fortune will allow the
allies another victory of such magnitude at
such comparatively small cost. Certainly unless
the mikado's home islands are absolutely numb
from bombing when we are ready to invade,
we must expect hard going. One of the most
important points for us to consider is that the
Japanese may have a formidable air fleet ready
for defense of the homeland.

Japan's Defenses
REAR ADMIRAL D. C. RAMSEY, new chief
of staff of the U. S. fifth fleet in the
Pacific, said yesterday that Japan might have
9000 warplanes which she is conserving for
defense against invasion. He thought she prob
ably could throw about 4000 into the battle
over Japan. That's a lot of air power.
Coincidently, as our bombing raids increased
over Japan, Lt. Gen. Saburo Endo, director of
the air arms board in the Tokyo munitions
ministry, declared that Nippon must secure air
supremacy over .the allies to win the war. He
demanded priority for aircraft production. How
badly our bombing will restrict- the manu
facture of planes and other war materiel re

who believe it's possible to paralyze the whole
country.
