The Irrefutable facts favor the Kla math Falls route, from Eugene to Weed, as the main through highway to be designated by the highway commission before July 1. That was the comment, today by Tom B. Watters, chairman of the highway committee of the chamber of commerce, in refer ence to reports from Medford of an attempt by communities along No. 99 (the Pacific hign- Look Your Loveliest In These Pretty WwM Sip and RAYONS Wear them around the house wear them to market wear them when you're spending an afternoon with the girl ... or the boys.

STORE way) In southern Oregon to eb tain the interstate designation lor that route. Watters indicated that the lo cal chamber and his committee have already gathered a large amount of factual material in support of the Klamath designa tion, and that no grass will grow under the committee's feet In seeing that the gathered infor mation is properly presented ana recognized. Proposed Plan Highway Commissioner Ar thur SchauoD m-oBosed at the last highway commission meet ing that the Klamath design: Hon be made. The federal high way act calling for 40,000 miles of interstate highways gives the commissions the responsibility tor designation of the routes in each state, and the Oregon com mission will probably make decision in the next few weeks, The Medford meeting of the Pa cific Highway association was called after Schaupp presented nls proposal. Under Schaupp s plan, the In ter-regional will leave Portland southbound to Eugene, thence go over the Willamette highway to No. 97 at Chemult, thence south through Klamath Falls to n junction with the Pacific high way at Weed. This route has been heavily"- traveled by through traffic since the com pletion of the Willamette high way in 1930. "The Klamath route Is short er, faster, less costly to build and to travel," said Watters "The hard engineering facts point to its designation as the 'through highway.' Arguments won't change those facts. "We recognize the need for adequate highway facilities for the fine communities along the Pacific highway In southern Oregon. The claim there is more local traffic over there, is a strong reason for designating the Klamath route for through travel, following a principle that is now widely accepted by engi neers. The Klamath route has natural advantages that make it the logical through line." Pfc. Clarence Nelsen was re leased April 14 from Stalag 2B, German prison camp, according to a letter received from him by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Nelsen, yesterday. His letter said he was one of the prisoners taken on the march across Ger many, recently revealed in press dispatches. . Pfc. Nelson, who ipent a fur lough here last July, arrived in England early in September, 1944. He is a graduate of Med ford high school. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson have two other sons in the service: Capt. Isben, who has been In the South Pacific for three years and is expected home on a leave in May, and T-5 Kermit, with Pat ton's Third army.

SUGAR SHORTAGE E Figures which explain the present shortage of sugar for civilian consumption were is sued today by the local war price and ration board. Authori ties have stated that but 700,000 tons of sugar will be available this year for home canning as compared to 1,500,000 tons last year. This nation used 135 million 100-pound sacks of sugar in 1941 the statement points out. Of each 100 pounds, but five came from sugar cane grown and refined in this country; 25 pounds was grown in the 19 sugar-beet grow ing states here and 70 pounds came from off-shore sources Up to 1941, 15 per cent of the off-shore sugar used by the Unit ed States came from the Philip pine Islands, 15 per cent from Hawaii and 70 per cent from Puerto Rico and Cuba, the state ment continues. One source of supply, the Philippines, has been completely lost, the statement continues, beet sugar production in the na tion fell off 40 per cent and the supply from Hawaii, Cuba and Puerto Rico has dwindled due largely to transportation diffi culties. Added to this is the fact that military , and lend-lease needs are increasing daily, as well as the Industrial uses for sugar. Servicemen, for instance, are each now using twice as much sugar as Is allotted to civilians. No relief is in sight for the sugar situation, it is said. Pro duction in Europe Is at a stand still. Russia, which produced 2.700,000 tons in 1940-41, fell to 800,000 tons in 1941-42 because of the "scorched earth" prac tices of the armies and no re ports are available now of any sugar production in any of the European countries. These coun tries are now being supplied a little sugar through the Red Cross and lend-lease agencies, it stated, but the main supply still goes for military uses and it is thought relief will not be forth coming for at least two years. The critical sugar situation is in no way a local problem and even more acute in eastern seaboard cities, where house wives in many cases can buy but one pound of sugar at a tune, it is reported. Residents are urged to realize every phase of the situation has been considered by the War Food Administration and the Office of Price Adminis tration and that the problem cannot be alleviated by fruitless complaints levelled at local officials.
