fOUR HERALD AND NEWS Editor Member. Aseoclsted ft Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY WHILE the air station is gradually going out of the picture, the Marine Barracks here is running along at an active pace. The big job being done at the Barracks now la the discharge of marines sent here for med- I"' surveys. Large -numbers p nen come in here weekly, t, . ; after careful processing 11 ly of these marines are dis rh -ged at Klamath Falls, t .transportation, furnished wcm to their homes. "It's Just' like a big hotel," aid one of the Barracks of ficers. "We've got people coming and going all the time." ' - There are at oresent about 2500 men at the Barracks. EPLEY There is every indication that the installation will be running for quite some time. We hope the Marine Corps can find permanent use for this fine set-up. Klamath has enjoyed being a. marine town. Compliment To Klamath STAYING on the marine theme, we have a letter from Captain Frederick G. Lewis, who was first post quartermaster at the Barracks, and is now overseas with the 12th service bat talion, FMF Pacific When Red Lewis left for overseas, he said he wanted to express' his feelings about this community and would do it later by letter. Here it is, and we'll let it top off today's : column: Dear Mae- In our married and happy marine corps career, my wife and I have never had the pleasure of doing duty in a community that has been more friendly, more liberal with their ' hospitality, or where we have enjoyed it more than Klamath Falls. ,- I I was most fortunate in being the first post quartermaster at your Marine Barracks and, ' from the starting point of getting off the train with my wife, friendliness, the desire to be of assistance, the unspoken words of hospitality written on the faces of all whom we came in . contact with and, it wasn't only one or two, it was the people from all walks of life, the man on the street, the merchants, and the people that they elected to administer the city, the mayor and all the officials, all of the ones that really represent the city and do a grand job : of selling it to the newcomers. I recall a phrase often quoted by you when we were on fishing trips with the gang, which went "Ah! men, it's a great city, and the people make it even greater" and that really expresses the feelings of not one but many, especially my wife and myself. ' . , The friendly spirit so expertly displayed by the people of Klamath Falls toward all new comers is a credit to the west and to the com munity. To ones like us, who have to change ; residences anct make new friends in each place, it really means something. A compliment -was paid to your city by Mrs. Lewis when I was ordered to overseas duty in that, when I told her of it, I asked her the ' question that I have many times before,- "Well, kid, where, do you want to stay? and, without any hesitation, she gave me that -surprised look: and answered, "Why, I am going to get myself . an apartment, -and stay right here at HOME. That, coming' from one whose life WAS wrap-' ped up in Virginia, is really a compliment. So, to the people of Klamath Falls and to our many friends, from both my wife and myself - "Thanks" for .being so lovely to us while we were both there, and from myself, many heart felt thanks for being so lovely to her (who is ; still there) while I am away. ? And to quote you again, Mac, "Tis a great city," and may it always prosper in the things that really make life worth living. ; -v Sincerely, F. G. Lewis, Capt. AQM., USMC. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 The official story of how we won the war, out today in the form of General Marshall's report will light i sparks of indignation within his war department sparks yet invisible to the public perhaps but EDITORIALS ON NEWS ! (Continued from Page One) thing that will be better than wiitib is now or nas Deen. AMONG the smaller. countries f of western Europe,' Belgium is commonly looked upon as a toss-up. The ruckus over the re turn ui uie King appears to turn lnrffplv nn fho knna nf n t Belgian near-collaborators that ii uiey can get me King Back on the seat he may declare an am nesty and so save their hides. .mis, wneiner ii is true or raise, is water on the wheel of the communist leaders. Besides, Belgians are cold and hungry and are none too happy over the way things are going. Holland Is in a bad way generally said, to be the third worst-off country in Europe (Greece Is believed worst, with Yugoslavia next) but, the Dutch are a tough-minded, self reliant lot, always willing to -work hard, and they may come through. ! , Denmark Is regarded as West orn Europe's soundest small country, practically certain to work itself out of its troubles. Communism is regarded as un likely in Norway or Sweden. HTHAT brings us to Britain. The British are turning lharply to the left, and they are going to travel down the left handed road a LONG WAY from where they ARE NOW and have been for a century or so. But they are not going the whole road. The British are UTTERLY different frnm tUn Annitn.nt.l peoples. They are victors. They look forward to the future with HOPE and CONFIDENCE. They ave something to work for, and MALCOLM EPLEY Managing Editor Member Audit Bureau Ctrculatloet have or had military art up ceptions such as make only the Schacht, the they are ready and willing to work for it. Nothing is more certain than that there will al ways be an England. The tough and competent British will see to that.

Oct. 10. 1845 likely to spread to cleansing proportions. (Fire cleans well.) You may see plainly behind this report the whole trouble with that greatest branch of gov ernment, greatest in men and money. If you can read between the lines with a studied eye you can also see why the Joint chiefs of staff hid since April the demand of fighting generals for a single defense department. Air Corps Ignored THE Marshall report simply neglects to notice the part the air corps played the decisive part, which an outsider may discern with the naked eye if he has read the news accounts of the war. When the chief of staff docs mention the air force it is always as if it was a step-accessory to the victory. The general or whoever com posed the document for him is still back in the days when the effectiveness of air bombing, was undetermined, when it had never won a war. Since then it has indisputably won the war against Japan and the results in Germany have been checked on the ground, not from hieh altitude photographs. The decisive nature of alrpower has been established as a provable new principle of war fare. The German generals are generally ac cepted by military men as a smart lot. They unbound imaginations on the to the point of the greater con overall strategy. The Germans big mistakes (invading Russia, not Invading England.) They know what broke their back and they all put some phase of air power, first, second or third on their lists along with the stupidity of Hitler strategy. In interviews afterward, they broke down and wanted to talk about their trade, as people interested in their own special ities wiU. The interviews with Generals Jodl, Runstedt, Thomas, Halden, Von Pahl and even Hjalmar economist (probably the best mind in Germany) all attributed German defeat to "bombardment of factories and next bombard ment of transport" (Thomas), "air superiority" (Von Pahl), .'bombing the decisive factor" (Schacht), "air destruction of the German fuel structure through strategic bombing of oil won the war in Italy (German air general there.) Depended On Rebuilding THE Germans, it develops now, moved very few of their industrial plants underground because they did not have the men and ma terials for such extensive new construction. They depended on rebuilding as their main hope against bombing, and as our air strategy (Gen. Spaatz, coming head of army air) detected , that decision, our bombers started coming back as soon as the destroyed factory was about half rebuilt. The only tribute to the air corps I noticed particularly in the Marshall report was their rescue of the ground forces at Salerno. He left me with the impression he thought the strategic bombing of Germany was a holding movement until the ground forces could invade. With such ill-logic, he might have called MarArthur's arduous island hopping and the whole war against Japan as a holding move ment for the atomic bomb. Significance Explained THE significance is this: '? Marshall in this report represents old school tie in the army, a grey tie. He is of the con servative type of older generals. In the past era of ditch warfare, artillery barrages and cavalry, his mind -was formed like those of many another among the joint chiefs of staff. They do not grasp the strategic significance of most recent events. (I hear Generals Eisenhower and Mac Arthur do.) The air corps Is composed mainly of young men who know the new fighting because they gained their mentally formative experience in : this era. They are the Billy Mitchell type, the Doolittles. Now this new plan for national defense, the plan which has been suppressed by the joint chiefs of staff who have refused even to pass it on to the president, would give the air corps the standing of a separate department within the one big defense department. They would be equal to the ground forces and the navy un der one head . The older generals like old ways best. Billions are being recommended for defense. They will be wasted unless the single depart ment idea goes through, and the young men have their chance, for there is no other way available now to get fresh, experienced brain power to the top of national defense. Incidentally the recently published rumors of Eisenhower taking Marshall's job are true, and while the switch was until recently planned for the first of the year, it may now come sooner. wealth of Nations will be an is land of individual enterprise in a wide sea of communism, near communism, pseudo-communism and just plain chaos.- WEATHER Wetnesdar.
