6 Heppner Gazette Times, December 2, 1943 iSliiwIlili '4' ' ' ft 11 jplp ' ill '(. - Washington, D! C, Dec. 2 WITHOUT? any pulling, hauling or political pressure Klamath Falls a few miles from the Japanese re location center at Tule lake, has been recommended as the site for a 3,000-bed navy hospital. It will be one of the largest such institu tions in the country. This hospital is intended for the exclusive use of patients who are suffering from malarial diseases contracted in the swampy, but picturesque, jungle islands of the South Pacific. The size of the hospital gives some idea of the prevalence of malaria in that therter of war, and the Klamath Falls hospital is intended for navy personnel alone not the army, al though the army also is suffering severely from the disease. After making a survey of the midwest and northwest an exam ining board concluded that at Kla math Falls the disease could be more effectively treated than else where because of the climatic con ditions and the elevation. The ele vation of Klamath Falls is about 4,500 feet above sea level. In passing, it may be observed that when Klamath Falls asked for the establishment of an air base the powers that be rejected the loca tion because, they said, fighter planes might run into wild geese or pelicans, that vicinity being a refuge for wild water fowl, and such a collision would be disastr ous to the pilot and plane, not to From all advance indications a good time will be had by all. It begins to look like the senate will not take the house bill as is. It is predicted the togamen will make several amendments to the measure, ton ing down some of the more drastic provisions incorporated in the house bill. Compromise, in some form, seems to be in the air. Considerable heat is being turn ed on many senators by scores of pro-subsidy groups. Letters and telegrams are flooding the desks of the lawmakers, urging a continu ance of subsidies in some form to hold down food prices. There isn't anything that has more effect on the boys than letters and tele grams from the home folks. When they hear the voice of their con stituents they sit up and take no tice, and that's exactly what is happening now. OREGON'S Senator Charles L. McNary, minority leader and one of the mainstays of the Republican steering committee in the upper house, will not be at his desk for several months. The senator is a sick man, and to properly recover derwent recently, it will be neces from the major operation he un sary for him to take a long rest. During his absence Senator Van denbur of iM'ichigan will handle the reins of the minority, and he doesn't relish the job one bit. mention the geese. Now the gov renment is spending in excess of $2,000,000 for an air field at Klam ath Falls. THERE are altogether too many peace rumors going the rounds to suit the army and navy big-wigs. Every week silly rumors crop up which have it that peace is just around the corner, or that Germany will ask for an armistice, that Ru mania will withdraw from the war, and so on into the night. Such ru mors seem to gam momentum as" the war goes on, and they come thicker and faster after each allied victory. All of which adds up to rale, and is giving the war depart pure bunk, bad for civilian mo ment one grand headache. Such rumors also have a very bad ef fect on the millions of men in the armed forces who have been under gong months of vigorous training in many camps scattered through out the nation. This matter has become a sub ject of serious cohcarn to the army and navy high command, who art now trying to devise ways and metms to stop this dangerous prop aganda. Officials emphasize that the public will be truthfully in formed of arty peace overtures and will always be kept abreast as to the progress of the war. They are also very emphatic that any cre dence given to such umors will only prolong the war and help to break down war production sched ules and morale of our home front. We are winning the war but the struggle ahead will take many months of hard and bitter fighting. The successful ending is still along ways off. Moral: Don't spread peace rumors. THE senate committee which now has the house anti-food subsidy bill up for arguments, both pro and con, is now holding "open house" on the measure.
