TULE LAKE CAMP
SHIFTED MILE TO
HIGHER GROUND
Klamath Falls, April 23.
(Spl.) The Tulelake Japanese
camp site was shifted a mile
northeast Tuesday morning,
when soil and drainage condi
tions on the original grounds
were found unsatisfactory.
Shift to tl.e new location was
accomplished almost without
loss of construction stride.
Buildings already started on the
old site will be used as tempo
rary quarters for construction
workers.
The new site lies opposite the
end of the peninsula, adjoining
the east side of the highway. It
. !s on a government lease now
40tield by Liskey brothers, the
land being described by the
reclamation bureau as "cheap
pasture."
No Crop Diiruption
Meanwhile, it was stated by
bureau officials they had been
informed there will be no dis
ruption of regular agricultural
activity in the Tule laUe basin
this year through the location
of the camp there.
B. E. Hayden, reclamation su
perintendent, said that farmers
in that area will go ahead with
' their crops as usual. He added
that it will probably be too late
for an agricultural program in
connection with the camp by the
time evacuees are actually mov
ed into the area.
The change to the new site
was decided upon, it was learn-
"d. because the barracks on the
4)ld site would be on ground
that would be mushy a part of
the year, and because drainage
was not satisfactory for installa
tion of sanitary facilities.
Firmer Ground
The new site is about seven
miles south of Tulelake. adjoin
ing the Klamath Falls-Reno high
way, and it includes about 800
acres.
Hiring of men for the con
struction program proceeded at
full speed Tuesday, with activ
ity centered at the AFL hiring
headquarters at Tulelake. La
borers, carpenters, welders and
particularly mechanics with
tools are wanted, it was stated
at the Labor temple here. In
terested men should apply at
Tulelake. it was said.
Well drilling will continue on
the -original site. Water will be
piped under the hiehway and
ie Southern Pacific railroad
iine to the new site.
The earth's axis continually
points in the same direction.

Ickes Denies Extreme Cut ,
Planned in East Coast Gas
Washington, April 23 OP) Petroleum Coordinator Tckes
declared today there was "no justification" for anticipating
that eastern motorists would be limited to as little as 2Va to 3
gallons of gasoline a week.
Such figures had been men
tioned as likely under the card
rationing system announced yes
terday by Price Administrator
Leon Henderson, to be effective
May 15 but Ickes told his press
conference, "if we are able to
carry out our plans there will
be no such cut." He added:
"We refuse to believe that
people will be put on such short
rations. Our objective is to sup
ply as much gasoline as possi
ble."
Ickes said he knew of no such
figure having been discussed
and did not contain the 2V4-to-S-gallon
figure.
Semi-official estimates of the
probable ration allowances in
the east had ranged from this
figure to 25 gallons a month.
Some OPA sources, not speak
ing officially, still clung today
to the 2Vi-to-5 estimate and said
it might well be less.
In discussing the rationing
plan, heads of five top-ranking
war agencies stated flatly in a
joint statement that the govern
ment no longer would risk lives
of American seamen on tankers
"so someone will have gasoline
to go to a bridge party or a ball
game."
Ickes foresaw the likelihood
of increased prices for gasoline
and fuel oil in the east, saying
that the petroleum industry had
estimated its costs had been in
creased by $300,000,000 annu
ally. BLAZE DESTROYS

STALINITES CLAIM
ENOUGH STRENGTH
TO 1VI EETJHREAT
Growing Nervousness Over
Allied Invasion Threat Is
Displayed in Hitlerland.
(By the Associated Press)
Adolf Hitler has called up 1,-
900,000 fresh reserves including
teen-aged youths and now has
nine-tenths of his fighting force
massed on the Russian war front,
an official soviet spokesman
said today as Stockholm dis
patches reported mounting Ger
man nervousness over the pros
pect of an allied invasion of
Europe.
The soviet spokesman, S. A.
Lozovsky, said the nazi re
serves called to bolster Hitler's
winter-battered armies included
900,000 youths of 17 and 18
years in two new military
classes.
RAF Celebrates
Meanwhile, British RAF war-
planes celebrated the feast day
of St. George, the patron saint
of England, with a smashing
new assault on the German in
dustrial Rhineland and the docks
at Le Havre in German-occupied
r ranee.
During the night, big guns on
the English channel coast also
boomed across Dover strait and
continued firing for about 30
minutes.
The aerial t h r u s 1 1 against
Adoir rimer s Khlneland war
foundries and Le Havre capped
yesterday's spectacular raid by
Lritish Commandos who- landed
on the nazi-occupied French "in
vasion coast" near Boulogne, cut
German communications and
probed enemy fortifications for
two hours.
The nazi high command ask
nowledged "some casualties" and
material damage in western Ger
many, but declared that German
night raiders struck back with
an attack on an English south
coast munitions factory which
caused "violent explosions."
The Germans said five RAF
bombers were shot down over
the reich; the British said four
planes were missing.
Nazis Jittery
Stockholm advices said Ger
man expectancy of an allied in
vasion of western Europe had
increased considerably, with the
nazis taking feverish precau
tions along the entire "front"
from the top of Norway to south
ern f ranee.
The Berlin correspondent of
the Stockholm newspaper Dag
ens Nyheter reported that "cer
tain optimists are convinced the
British will come by May 1,"
and London quarters said this
was a feeler so obvious that nazi
anxiety must have dictated It.
Other signs of German "Jit
ters" were reports that the nazis
had set 40,000 laborers to work
on anti-invasion defenses in
Norway and that German au
thorities in France had barred
civilians from Normandy's coast
al roads between 7:30 p. m. and
6 a. m. leaving the clear as
sumption that any person abroad
in the forbidden hours would be
a British Commando or other
foe, subject ts being shot on
sight.
On the Russian war front,
soviet dispatches reported that
the German armies in the
Ukraine, heavily battered in re
cent weeks, had abandoned their
counter-attacks and changed tac
tics to a defense of fortified posi
tions. The significance In this lay in
well-informed military predic
tions that Hitler's long-heralded
offensive would strike its heavi
est blows on the southern flank.
In a drive toward the oil-rich
Caucasus. Now, according to
the Russians, the Germans' pre
liminary "feeler" thrusts have
been crushed and the nazis
forced back on the defensive.
Russian dispatches also re
ported that on the central (Mos
cow) front, at Yukhnov, thous
ands of nazis bodies had been
found when the melting snows
uncovered a huge pit in the cen
tral square of the town.

In War Is Emphasized.
By Roger D. Greene
(Associated Press War Editor)
A virtual reign of terror on
the key French island of Mada
gascar, with the arrest of hun
dreds of De Gaullists, was re
ported today amid quickening
speculation that France's new
pro-German Premier Pierre La

Island over to Japan.

Not Defended
"Madagascar is not being de
fended against Japanese infil
tration, and it cannot be defend
ed against Japanese invasion,"
said dispatches reaching Lon
don. France's new role in the war,
particularly her collaboration
with the axis, was sharply em
phasized today by a series of de
velopments:
1. The Union of South Africa,
a part of the British Empire
which would probably be given
the task of dealing with Mada

Vichy.
It Is about 800 miles from
Durdan, South Atrlcs, to Mada

2. In London, a British spokes
man said "it Is now reported
that 90,000 tons of French ship
ping have been taken over by
Japan."
3. High-ranking United States
diplomats. It was disclosed, have
been newly transferred to Braz
zaville, in Free French West
Africa, and to Nigeria and Li
beria in an evident move to
strengthen the U. S. diplomatic
front in Africa.
Observers said these stations
are usually assigned to newcom
ers.
4. In Vichy, Premier Laval
himself received the Japanese
ambassador-designate, Takonobu
Mitani.
5. The Vichy government
went to the length of Issuing an
official denial of Moscow radio
reports (hat German sailors
were arriving at the French
