Matai aal DiUm CaatlMi (li Hiatal Oal Yu -1 l.U JJS (.00 MCMRKR AUDIT RURUU OF CIRCULATION Weekend Roundup XAHAT a game it was on Modoc field Friday night VY with two inspired teams playing to a deadlock as their alternate thrusts toward scoring territory thrilled a great crowd of partisan spectators. And speaking from our own partisan viewpoint, we voice here our pride in the. Klamath Falls youngsters who, going into the game as underdogs, dominated the first half and went on despite damaging injury losses to. make a gallant second half fight. The heady quick-kicking in the first half that put the Pelicans' opponents time and again into a hole was beautiful to behold. To the lads who repre sented this community in the annual test of Southern Oregon football strength in the Medford-Klamath game, and to their coach, our warmest respect. We're proud of them. People who go to football games thus indicate their interest in physical activity, yet it is a notable fact that they themselves engage in as little of that sort of thing as possible in getting to the game. They will drive as close to the main gate as possible despite the fact that this means a serious traffic jam and long delay in get ting away afterwards. How much easier it is to park the family car a few blocks away and do a little brisk walking in the night air. Try it sometime, and contri bute to the elimination of traffic confusion at the foot ball games. The International Woodworkers of America conven tion here has been marked by a sensational fight that, quite naturally, has received widespread newspaper notice and public attention. One or two speakers at the convention have mentioned the newspaper treatment of the squabble, yet no one could deny that adequate cover age of the meeting here would necessarily feature the fight There has been little else in the convention, up to the time this is written. The CIO unionists, at any rate, have the satisfaction of knowing there is nothing cut-and-dried about their conclave. A direct clew to the reason why steeli production in the United States climbs toward 90 per cent is contained jn a study by the American Iron and Steel Institute. It is not so much that war materials are being made for export as the fact that among the chief steel-exporting countries have been England. France, Germany and Po land. None of these is at the moment in a position to export much finished steel. Let's chuck It all up, and sail for Tahiti! Enough of this eternal war talk and enough of depressions and the hardscrabble of life! Let's go to Tahiti and lie under a breadfruit tree, and Invite our souls! Oh, yeah? Well, if you've got any such idea In your head, get it out! Tahiti is at war. You see, that's one of the colonies of the French Empire. Negro Dies In Gas Chamber For Death Of Aged Recluse ' SAM QTJENTIN PRISON, Cal., Oct. 11 (U.R) With hli eyei taped with gauze, William Green.' 19- y ear-old Fresno negro died in the Ban Quentln lethal gas chamber yesterday for the slaying of W. G. Leek, a 69-year-old recluse. For the first time since the gas chamber was adopted for execu tions here a condemned man's eyes were covered, to spare the wit nesses the ordeal of watching his eyes roll as the fumes reached him. Green was pronounced dead 14 minutes after pills of cyanide dropped Into a pan of acid, pro duced the lethal fumes. Leek, who was supposed to have had 117,000 cached near his Fres no shack, was found dead near a potter's field last March. Green was arrested but Insisted he was Innocent. However, he was con victed and sentenced to death. Check Artist Bilks Portland Hotels PORTLAND, Ore., Oct.

Oct. 21 flJ.B L. O. Harding, mayor of Oregon City, died Friday in the U. S. Veterans' hospital in Portland. Mayor Harding failed to rally from an operation. He was a brother-in-law of the late E. E. Brodle, former U. S. minister to Slam and Finland and publisher of the Oregon City Enterprise. Harding, 49, was serving his third term as mayor of Oregon City. He la survived by his widow, a brother and two sisters. WASH1NGTON, Oct. 11 Hlt- " ler's spell of speechlessness has been due to his inside con centration on trying to get mili tary help from Russia and Italy. The wires from Berlin to Moscow and Rome have been carrying tempting baits to hook an active military ally. Latest trans-Atlantic code wave report the best dor fuehrer has been able to land la some email expansion of his trade deal with Russia and a cold shoulder from Home nary a nibble of active military aupport. Indeed, there is some reason to doubt that Mussolini will handle a world peace offer for Hitler the next step that Hitler has planned when his search for allies finally fails. A further bending of the Rome-Berlin axis to the breaking point la loftily expected and there would be no surprise It It falls completely apart. PROPAGANDA Inside reports from the Caro lina tobacco regions indicate a subtle British propaganda cam paign there for embargo repeal. The reports have been received by a government department and by congressmen In such a double confirming way that no question of their authenticity exists here although of course an effort is being made to prevent auch a deli cate matter from being drawn in to the open shipping bill debate. British ceased their important season buying in the American market very strangely upon the outbreak of war. This forced the closing of the market at"- the height of the season. No forceful excuse waa offered. British stocks are slightly higher than normal and they may want to con serve exchange but. after all, their people are not going to smoke any less, but probably more, as a result of the war. Tobacco planters subsequently (October 5) held elections to vote on quotas, and at several of these meetings, resolutions were passed asking congress to repeal the arms embargo. Certain agricultural authorities here considered this strange as an embargo on . arms had nothing to do with tobacco and they investigated. They have reported that buying agents for the British let word get around to the planters that British buy ing would resume when the em bargo was repealed. Letters from home received by Carolina legis lators here indicate farmers were told that the British "naturally in Ln from their friends" and repeal of the embargo was) neces sary to show our iriennsnip. in deed some farmers had the mis taken notion that the existing em bargo is on tobacco, although, no one here Is accusing the British of spreading such misinformation. BRITISH POLICY Obviously this tobacco situation Is the key to wise British policy. Her buying in cotton and many other lines slid off at the outset of the war. Everything has been held back "until the embargo is repealed." But government economists who are wholly impartial on the em bargo issue are now becoming ap prehensive that the anticipated buying will not live up to its prom ise even when repeal comes. A large number of them are actually predicting privately (and this news has been passed out in the confidential business letter ser vices that our Industrial produc tion will be lower the first quar ter of next year because foreign purchases will not be as great as our Industrialists have been led to expect. Indeed, the president's Laugh Iin Carrie spending group Is reported working on plana for new government expenditures to be presented to the January ses sion of congress to "take up the Black" expected next year. One of these spending plana involves a new federal grid system for power defense (a revision of the old $600,000,000 scheme.) The economists' deductions are based on open-faced facts that all can readily see. The British are buying most of the Egyptian cotton crop. They also took the entire Australian wool clip (State Secre tary Hull is still trying to get SIDE GLANCES lotUaXttT" com, nia av vwi, wc t. m. aio. v. a. at. w. "But, sir, your wife lold me to hove you home by 11, or she'd lire me!" ' ' ' a5aaasaasaBeaaBBaaaaBaMPBaaaBsaBPjwaaaaaaaBaBaaaa By DR. MORRIS FISHBKIX Editor, Journal of the American .Medical Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magaalne AMONG the diseases which are transmitted from animals to men undulant fever is especially significant. The condition has been called brucellosis because the germ that causes It was isolated by a physi cian named Bruce In 1SS6. It has also been called Malta fever be cause of studies Identifying It with a disease which appeared ou the Island of Malta in 1SS7. Either of these terms is prefer able to undulant fever, because the fever does not appear in wave like episodes In all of the cases. Three types of the disease are now known. The germ may be transmitted to man from the goat, the cow, or from the hog. In this country cows and hogs are the usual source of Infection of hu man beings. a a a Goat's milk Is often the orig inal source of germs in the first type of fever. In sections of the country where goat raising Is com mon, the Infection may spread to sheep, cattle and other animals, and from them to man. A second type of fover. that as sociated with the cow. Is known as contagious abortion of cattle. It is sometimes called Bang's dis ease after the discoverer who rec ognized the condition. This phase can be transmitted to human beings by the drinking them to let us have some of tt.) The British move for Industrial ization of Canada has taken form with the allocation of 1600.000, 000 tor plane factories and a prom ise of 13,000,000,000 more. No one here la criticizing the British for all this, even the propaganda. It obviously mrans only that the British arc looking out for the British, as they should. of Infected raw milk and by con tacts with infected cattle. Ob viously, people who drink well pasteurised milk are likely to es cape thla Infection. The third type, called brucella suls. Is confined to hog raising sec tions of the United States. It seems to affect particularly work era In packing plants and butcher shops who handle swine carcasses. No person should develop any one of those types of undulant fever because proper pasteurisa tion of milk, Inspection of herds to keep them free from Infection, eating only well cooked pork, and avoidance of any contact with un safe goat's milk protects them from the germs that cause this disease. Hoover Warns Nation Against ' War Dictator NEW YORK. Oct. 21 U.R) If the United States enters the pre sent European war. the American people must be prepared to accept an immediate dictatorship and to remain under a dictatorship for a generation after the war Is over "If not forever," former President Herbert Hoover ssid last night. Hoover, In a speech broadcast over the N. B. C. network, devoted himself largely to a defense of his proposal of 10 days ago that the United States limit sales of weapons to foreign nations to those which are used primarily for the defense of civilian populations and prohibit the sale of weapons such aa submarines, bombing planes and poison gas which can be used for attacks on civilians. The south magnetic pole was determined most accurately In 1909, by Lieutenant Shackteton, at about 73 degrees south latitude and 158 degrees east longitude. WASHINGTON. Oct. 11 (U.R) The administration's good neigh bor policy has run up against western and mid-western farm liiteroals which today threaten ed political repercussions It con templated trade agrtenienta with Argentine and Uruguay Include significant conccsalons on Amer ican agricultural products. Hearings on the proposed agreement with Argentina, which the administration views as the keystone of lis good neighbor policy In Latin America, were completed Thursday after 60 members of congress had testi fied In opposition. The administration, with Ita eye on .MI,00O,(l(HI of tier man trade, hopes to negotiate speedily an agreement with the rich countries of the I.atMatta region and at the same time cement "hemispheric front" against the Kuroiean war. Sen. Edward Burke. D.. Neb., who supported the reciprocal trade agreement a act when It was passed, said tonight that "agricultural sections of the country are up In arms against the trade agreements admitting farm products Into the United States." Ilurke, who has been an ad ministration opponent on other Issues, said that "any political parly which espouses further ad mission of competitive farm products into this country won't have a chance In the west and midwest at the next election." Germans Claim Proof Ilrltain Sank Dig Ship BERLIN. Saturday, Oct. 11 ftl.R) An official nail account published by newspapers today under head lines "Athenla Crime Proved!" said an American survivor, Qustav A. Anderson had established the British liner was sunk on Septem ber 3 at "the command" of Win ston Churchill, first lord of the British admiralty. The Hermans stubbornly have denied the Ilrltlsh claim a nazl submarine torpedoed and sank the Athenla on the first day of the war and have said Britain ordered the vessel destroyed In order to arouse American anger against Germany, because muny American refugees from the European war zones were aboard. Stress was laid on Anderson's statement the Athenla after being kept afloat for more than a half day finally was sunk by shells fired into the ship by three British destroyers. (The British have pointed out that, after all survivors were re moved from tho Athenla after Its Idrpedolnr hy a German U-boat, the vessel was sunk by shelling In order that it would not remain as a menace to navigation in the sea Isne off the southwest coast of Ireland.) The D. N. D. atatement said be cause of the "excellent quality" of German torpedoes, as proved when the British battleship Royal Oak was sunk at Scapa Flow a week ago today. It would bare been Im possible for an unprotected mer chantman to keep afloat for 14 hours If torpedoed. A British invontor once propos ed to make 12-hour balloon trips from England to Australia. His plan was to ascend high In tbe air and wait 12 boura for the earth to make half a rotation. He be lieved he then would be able to land on the other side of the globe.
