Klamath Falls
Navy Barracks
Board of Education
Votes for Use as
College for Veterans
The stale board of education
voted 4 to 1 today to take over
all of Klamath marine barracks
for use as a vocational school,
provided the state emergency
board appropriates funds to op
erate it until the legislature
meets.
The emergency board will be
summoned to meet here, prob
ably next Friday, to act on the
request for funds. The applica-
tion for the barracks must be
filed with the war assets admin
istration by next Tuesday.
Opposed by AFL
The board of education's mo
tion provided that the state
board of higher education may
use part of the barracks for use
fd as a college for veterans. There
also is a provision that the Kla
math school board may use part
of it.
'Voting for making the appli
cation were Gov. Earl Snell,
Secretary of State Robert S.
Farrcll, Jr.; State Superinten
dent of Public Instruction Rex
Putnam, and Paul H. Spillman,
Powell Butte.
Opposing it was Miss May
Darling, Portland, who said she
feared the action was a first
step in diverting funds from
general education. She said the
American Federation of Labor,
which she represents, opposes it.
$125,000 Required
O. I. Paulson, stale director
of vocational education, said the
emergency board would have to
approprialc $125,000 to operate
the proposed school up to next
June 30, or $65,000 to operate
to next February 1. The legis
lature meets early in January,
so. if the emergency board
makes an appropriation, it
would likely be only until Feb
ruary 1,
Paulson said the school would
have an enrollment of 400 to 600
students the first year, and that
it could be operating by Janu
ary 1. The enrollment would
increase to 1,500 by the fifth
year.
The board agrees to accept ap
plicants from other states.
The tuition fee would be $50
a month.
Fritz Sauckel
Mental Case
Nuernberg, Oct. 9 (U.R) An
army spokesman said today that
of the 11 condemned nazi war
criminals Hermann Goering had
become a shattered and broken
man, and Fritz Sauckel had be
come a "mental case."
Maj. Frederick Teich, army
security officer for the Nuern
berg prison, reported the fail
ings of two of the nazis await
ing the outcome of their appeals
and probable execution a week
from today.
Only yesterday Teich said
that none of the condemned men
had shown any sign of collapse
or breakdown. It appeared
probable that in describing
Goering as a completely broken
man he was speaking in a gen
eral manner without reference
1o any current change in his
' condition.
Teich held another of the
press conferences instituted yes
terday by the army for the
avowed purpose of dispelling
some of the secrecy shrouding
the case.
He said Sauckel, nazi slave
labor boss, had been propound
ing scientific theories both
unique and fantastic. He recom
mended, Teich said, harness-
: ing the North Sea winds in or-
dcr to drain the sea and use the
ijind lor farming. He also rec
ommended that Germany aban
don steam and diesel engines in
favor of sailing vessels because
of the country's coal and metal
shortage.
Ease Congestion
On Railroad Tracks
Following recent discussions
between representatives of the
Southern Pacific and George H
Flagg, public utilities commis
sioner, schedules have been
worked out that should elimi
nate much of the congestion
caused by operation of trains on
the branch out of Salem during
the busy hours.
Supt. L. P. Hopkins of the
S.P., has agreed that no trains
will be operated along Twelfth
or Union streets on the Fall City
branch between the hours of
7:30 and 8:30 in the morning;
noon and 1 p.m., and 5 and 6
p.m. This does not of course
apply to through passenger and
freight trains operated on
Twelfth.
Mr. Hopkins states: "We will
follow this plan through, and,
barring some emergency, such
as an accident, 16-hour tie-up
or something of this kind, will
xmake a definite effort to see
ijist these hours are respected."

Council Studies
Appeals of Nazi
War Criminals
Berlin, Oct. 9 (U.R) The allied
control council today considered
10 appeals from convicted
Nuernberg defendants but ad
journed after a lengthy session
without a report on what action
had been taken.
Sixteen of the Nuernberg de
fendants have appealed their
sentences to the control coun
city. In a three and a half hour
session the council considered
10 of the appeals.
However,, what action was
taken was not revealed. The
council will meet again tomor
row afternoon and it was indi
cated a communique may be is
sued after that session.
If the council sustains the
Nuernberg sentences, Hermann
Goering and 10 of his colleagues
will die on the gallows a week
from today, and the other con
victs will begin serving prison
terms.
The four military governors
of occupied Germany who com
prise the control council sat
down with their advisers around
a big table to take up the ver
dicts which they can ease but
not increase.
Secrecy Prevails
The council began its delib
erations in an atmosphere of se
crecy and mystery unsurpassed
in the 14 months of secret four-
power meetings here.
Around the table sal Gen. Jo
seph Pierre Koenig of France,
now the chairman under a sys
tem of rotation; Gen. Joseph T.
McNarney of the United States,
Marshal Vassily D. Sokolovsky
of Russia and Air Marshal Sir
Sholto Douglas of Great Brit
ain. With them were their dep
ulies, legal experts and inter

Yugoslavia Pays
For Killing Fliers
Washington, Oct. 9 W) Yugo
slavia has turned over $150,000
lo yie United States as indem
nity for the deaths of five Amer
ican airmen shot down over Yu
goslavia August 19, the slate
department announced today.
At the same time, the depart
ment made it plain that the
United Stales still hopes to ob
tain additional indemnities from
Yugoslavia for the loss of two
transport planes a claim which
Yugoslavia has rejected so far.
The five men were killed
when their unarmed army trans
port plane was shot down by
Yugoslav fighters. Another army
transport had been forced to
crash by Yugoslav fighters Au
gust 9, but no lives were lost in
that incident.
Today's announcement said U.
S. Ambassador Richard C. Pat
terson, Jr., delivered a note to
the Yugoslav government in
Belgrade yesterday acknowledg
ing receipt of the $150,000.
In compliance with the Yugo
slav government's request, the
note said, the United Slates gov
ernment will distribute the sum
in five equal payments of $30,
000 each to the families of the
dead men.
Patterson's note added, how
ever, that the United States
could not accept Yugoslavia's
contention that it has no respon
sibility for the loss of the two
transport planes.
These planes, the nole said,
did not fly over Yugoslavia il
legally, as contended by Marshal
Tito's government, but "for rea
sons beyond their control result
ing from adverse weather conditions."
Rental Adjustments Hinge
On Landlords' Registration
Petitions from landlords for rent readjustments cannot be con
sidered by the OPA rent office at the Salem armory until more
registrations come in, Jackson T. Moore, OPA rent executive,
announced weanesaay from
Portland. .Registration has fall
en off, Moore declared, and it
will be impossible to make any
adjustments until the OPA can
get a cross section of rentals in
all classifications on the freeze
date of July 1, 1945.
"The OPA rent office must
have this cross section picture
as the basis for any adjust
ments," Moore explained. "Less
than 1700 registrations of the
5000 expected have been made
to date. We must have the bulk
of the registrations In before a
comparability curve can be com
puted, giving a picture of the
freeze date rent level In the
various housing classifications,
such as five-room houses, three
room houses, furnished or un
furnished, etc."
Moore urged Salem landlords
to take advantage of the staff
Truman's Probe
Of Meat Crisis
Still Underway
Washington, Oct. 9 UP) One
of OPA's staunchest champions
in last summer's senate battle
said he is giving "serious con
sideration" to opposing all price
controls today as President Tru
man pressed ahead with his
personal survey of the meat
shortage.
Senator Pepper (D., Fla.),
who lost a fight last June for
renewal of the price control act
without amendments, declared
a statement:
''If price control is getting
back like prohibition in its last
days, so that public opinion is
not going to support effective
price control and the congress
is not going to support it, we
might just as well not try to
have it."
As White House Press Secre
tary Charles G. Ross told report
ers that President Truman is
"getting reports every day" on
the situation, others joined in
the sizzling debate over steaks
and chops.
Mr. Truman told his news
conference on September 26
that he had been investigating
the situation for some time. He
attributed the shortage then to
an "extraordinarily large
slaughter" in July and August,
when price controls were tem
porarily off, and predicted a
"greater quantity" of meat in
the near future.
Argentine Supply
Last Thursday the president
said he agreed with Reconver
sion Director John R. Steelman's
report that the meat shortage
may grow worse this winter,
and announced he was having
a survey made. While foresee
ing shortages ahead, he said
there will be no meat famine.
Ross told reporters Mr. Tru
man will hold his weekly news
conference at 4 p.m. (EST) to
morrow, but that he does not
expect any announcement on
meat at that time.
Asked if F. M. LaGuardia, di
rector general of UNRRA, had
urged the possible importation
of Argentine beef for that
agency jn a White House call
yesterday, Ross said he had no
information on that.
Special Session Talk
As to whether anyone had
suggested Argentine importa
tions, Ross replied:
"Every possible suggestion
has been made to him by some
one." On another question as to
whether a possible special ses
sion of congress to deal with the
meat situation had been the
subject of discussion at a cab
inet meeting, Ross said he did
not know, but that he doubted
it.

which raised havoc in Cuba with
125-mile-an-hour winds that

The hurricane killed four per

the petitions can be acted on.

Chinese Renew
Drive on Kalgan
Peiping, Oct. 9 Pi Spurred
by communist rejection of a
proffered 10-day truce, three
columns of government troops
smashed on toward Kalgan to
day. One captured Changpch,
27 miles north of that commu
nist military base; another ap
proached Hsuanghwa, only 13
miles away, and a third recap
tured Hwailai to eliminate a red
nuisance on its supply line.
To the south, however, the
communists blocked government
reinforcements trying to reach
beleaguered Paoting. capital of
Hopeh province. But there was
a question whether they had
sufficient strength to smash
through the defenses which have
held them outside that walled
city for 10 days.
The refusal of Gen. Chou En
Lai, the communist negotiator,
to return to Nanking from
Shanghai, plus the communist
rejection of Chiang Kai-Shek's
truce offer, appeared to kill all
hope of reviving negotiations,
at least for the present.
Many observers here ex
pressed the opinion that the
failure of the 10-day truce of
fer, rejected by the communists
as a government ruse, likely
would mean the end of General
Marshall's mediation efforts.

To Make Claims
To Ryukyu Isles
in
Washington, Oct. 9 .-r A
Russian plan to stake claim lo
the highly important Ryukyu
chain of islands between Japan
and Formosa among them
blood-drcnchcd Okinawa
frankly anticipated in American
diplomatic quarters.
Highly placed officials told a
reporter privately today that the
United Stales will oppose the
expected Soviet move on the
ground that the islands if they
arc'to be transferred from Japa
n"csc ownership at all should
go to China.
U. S. to Oppose
As an alternative to Chinese
sovereignty, the United States
would be agreeable to placin
the islands under a United Na
tions trusteeship, solely admin
istcrcd by China.
These views slcm from the
fact that this country has a bal-
te-won interest in the islands,
particularly Okinawa as the
scene of some of the toughest
fighting of the Pacific war.
There reportedly is "general
agreement" among the Pacific
powers for the return to China
of Formosa itself, fabulous ler
ritory of headhunters, gold and
sugar. Formosa was wrested
from China at the turn of the
century by terms of the Sino
Japanese peace treaty.
Like the Dardanelles
The Ryukyu chain sprawling
northward from Formosa sepa
rates the open waters of the Pa
cific and the Yellow Sea, at the
far end of which Russia has
vital stake in Port Arthur and
Daricn.
In some ways, the situation
might be termed comparable to
that of the Dardanelles on the
other side of the world. Here,
Russia has an outlet to the cast
for which she has long sought
Here, too, according to diplo
matic authorities, the Soviet Un

World Flight of
B-29's Possible
Washington, Oct. 9 (Pi Final
government approval of a pro
jected globe girdling flight by as
many as two dozen B-29 Super
fortresses hung today on a dip
lomatic "if."
Officials predicted privately
that the state department prob
ably will approve the army air
forces plans for the flight if
some way can be found to mini
mize the venture as a type of
"big stick" diplomacy.
The problem confronting the
slate department is that what
ever may be the intentions be
hind the project, diplomats here
and in foreign offices around
the world would certainly read
into it various political impli
cations. This is a source of concern
lo American officials who con
tend that United States rela
tions with Russia although
based at present on Secretary
of State Byrnes' policy of
"firmness" must be kept in
balance. They particularly do
not want to present any evi
dence of sword-rattling or oth
er gestures which might upset
world affairs at a particularly
difficult juncture.
Russia already has built a
propaganda campaign around
what critics call anli-Sovicl
American diplomacy.
Italian Jobless in Bloody Riot
Attacking Government Palace
Rome, Oct. 9 (U.R) The worsUriot since l.aly's liberation broke

reports said at least 15 persons were killed and more than 100
wounded in a wild baltle be

placed the casualties much
higher than the government's
figures.
More than 30,000 demonstra
tors, led by a vanguard of 10,
000 persons, marched on the pal
ace and hundreds stormed their
way into the government offices.
They were finally driven out in
a bitter battle with police.
Carabinicri opened fire on the
mob with their carbines, caus
ing most of the casualties. Dem

Molotov Chairman
Articles one and two were

projected free stale of Trieste
as an "undemocratic" means of
keeping that strategic Adriatic
area under British-American
control in an address lo the del
egates this morning, presided as
chairman.
The conference witnessed its
first real division on article
three dealing with the Italo-Yugoslav
frontiers. White Russia
demanded a roll call on its
amendment, which had failed in
commission, to move the line
westward in Yugoslavia's favor.
It was rejected. 14 to 5, with
two abstentions. Ethiopia joined
White Russia, Poland, Czecho

Alaska Votes
For Statehood
Juneau. Alaska, Oct. 9 W)
The capital city of Juneau en
dorsed the proposal for state
hood for Alaska by a seven to
six margin in yesterday's gen
eral election while scattered re
turns from other sections of the
territory indicated the proposal
was carrying by almost a two lo
one margin.
The vote on the advisory ref
erendum here was 778 for state
hood and 549 against. In the
first division, of which Juneau
is the center, the vote was 1880
for and 1176 against with only
21 precincts out of 53 reporting.
Voting was the heaviest since
1940.
First division returns gave
congressional delegate E. L.
(Bob) Bartlett a lead of 1987 to
1041 over his republican oppo
nent, Aimer J. Peterson of An
chorage. A heavy republican vote was
indicated, however, and the pos
sibility loomed that the repub
licans would increase their
strength in the territorial legis
lature. tempting to reach the scene
were hurled from their jeeps by
demonstrators who stripped
them of their weapons.
The demonstration was led by
about 15,000 road workers who
were dismissed from their jobs
yesterday. They were joined
by thousands of other unem
ployed, including many war vet
erans. The palace itself was stormed
by a crowd of several hundred
men who fought their way into
a side entrance after smashing
guards or. the head with their
clubs.
The group rampaged through
three floors of the thoujand

Score 4 to 0 in Pitchers'
Battle Boston Now
Game in Lead
Fenway Park, Boston, Oct. 9
Itudy York's tremendous
400-foot home run in the first
inning with two men on base
his second game-winning homer
in the World Scries helped
Dave Ferriss earn a 4-0 victory
today that put the Boston Red
Sox out in front of the St. Louis
Cardinals, two games to one.
Tho capacity crowd of 34,500,
which paid $140,451, thrilled lo
a fine pitching job by Ferriss.
Only in the ninth when Stan
Musial unloaded a long triple
that hit the center field wall on
one bounce did the National
league champions show a potent
punch. There were two out and
Ferriss struck out Slaughter to
end the game.
Williams Bunts
Ted Williams foiled the "Dyer
shift" by dumping a bunt single
past third base in the third in
ning after he had been walked
intentionally in the first inning.
He had been criticized for fail
ing to bunt in the first two
games.
After that when Williams
came up. the Cardinals pulled
a half-way variation in which
Whitey Kurowski remained on
third base and Marty Marion
moved over directly behind sec
ond. Red Schoendienst still
played a normal first base and
Stan Musial was right on the
foul line with the outfield pull
ed around to right.
Williams drove Slaughter way
back to the barrier with a long
liner in the eighth but it wrus
just another out. His only hit
was the bunl as he struck out
once, flicd out once and walked
in the other trips.
