In China, the Japanese have conducted vast and destructive bombing raids on Chung king, and yet we read that despite all of this Chungking has increased steadily in population and has built streets and public works between raids. What the bombing has done to the Chinese people may be indicated in a letter from Mil Wen-Fu in the China Weekly Review.

There is naturally curiosity as to the details of the settlement of this protracted dispute. Concessions were finally made by both sides and what appears to be a reasonable settlement was reached after lengthy dis cussions between President Wilfred Lamm and members of the negotiation committee at Yamsey. But the most important fact of all is that the men have returned to work and a festering sore in the Klam ath country's labor situation has been healed. It is devoutly to be hoped that where other disputes arise, similarly reasonable settlement can be reached without the hardships of cessation of work hardships that are felt by the employes, the employers and the public. Snspeeted . Incendiarism Only Accidental It looked like a case of per sistent incendiarism when state police were called to Gilchrist to investigate a series of fires in the nearby woods areas. Near the spot where each fire was set the officers found dis tinctive tire marks as well as footprints. They took plaster cast impressions and worked up tha evidence into an airtight case almost. Their clues led them to Arthur Wayne Negus, a resi dent of Crescent. Law-abiding Mr. Negus was as puzzled as the officers until it was discov ered his car, in which he rode about hunting snags for wood cutting, had a defective muffler. Sparks from the muffler had set the fires. Convinced Negus had dope no Intentional wrong, officers advised him to get a new muffler and dropped the case. OBITUARY THEODORE h. JACKSON, JR. Theodore R.

By pAULMALLONjjy WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 In distinct noises indicating dis content within the republican organization are genuine groans and grunts against the way Wen dell Willkie has been handling tha party routine. A good many of the in-and-out-of-season party lieutenants apparently resent Mr. Willkie's failure to set up an orthodox single unit party or ganization along historic repub lican lines. One eminent gentle man who waved the flag for Willkie at Philadelphia, for in stance, has spent most of the en suing period sulking with a fish ing rod In the north woods. Oth ers have been whispering that tha organization work is far be low previous campaigns. Still more, capable of making republi can financial predictions, are pri vately prophesying Mr. Willkie will not be ablo to raise suffi cient funds the way he has been going, not even the extremely modest $2,500,000 to which he restricted his organization Mr. Willkie has apparently heard these noises and is moving swiftly to correct the situation. It appears he went into this cam paign determined to cast a whol ly new spirit into the republican party, and did not want too many old faces in the front now. It is possible he has also had less respect for organization than those more experienced party men who have been closely as sociated with previous cam paigns. A compromise seems in the making. While Mr. Willkie will undoubtedly conduct an individ ualistic campaign, the steps now afoot should swing the older party people into action. gather the confidence of a suf ficient number of the gieat mass of independent voters to deter mine the majority. This opin ion represents an almost com posite view of a great number of politicians in both parties who believe Mr. Roosevelt is doing just about all he can do in con ducting his campaign by inspect ing national defense projects, and that the result will be deter mined by what Mr. Willkie does. a a CAPITAL DRAFT The way new deal pitch-men are talking up the subject of drafting capital has inspired some popular suspicions that they may have a pian- They have and several. Long before Mrs. Roosevelt started advancing the idea in her column, Jerome Frank, chairman of the securities exchange commission, hinted in a speech before the war college that he had been rummaging around in the Maynard Keynes realm for a new program to con script the vast reservoirs of sav ings from banks. No. 1 brain truster, Assistant Slate Secre tary Berle, had even earlier started working on a program of creating government - sponsored capital banks to finance trade expansion. But Leon Henderson, assistant to Frank, and the price man in the national defense commission, is understood to be the inspira tion behind the current renewal of agitation. He has been slight ly cradling a proposal concern ing the relation of banks to the defense program which may turn out to be the new rabbit. How far the agitation is like ly to go is not yet clear. Much of the officially sponsored talk here seems to have a wholly po litical flavor. The idea of con scripting capital makes an excel lent official offset to the debate in congress on the bill to draft young men from 21 to 31. Yet at root there is obvious wide spread sentiment among new dealers to have the treasury take idle savings and capital at some insignificant rate of interest, such as one-half of one per cent, to finance a war if there is to be one and perhaps even the cur rent national defense program.

Retired Naval Officer Advocates Sale of Old Destroyers to Britain i Br Rear Admiral Yates Stirling Jr., U. S. N., Ratirad j (Copyright 1940, by United i Press) NEW YORK. Aug. 13 (UP) I The proposal to sell to Britain ' 50 or more over-age World war destroyers of the United States navy has aroused hot contro versy. In the opinion of the writer, those destroyers should be furnished to Britain. The British navy is all that stands between Hitler and his ultimate goal the resources of the Americas and Die enslavement of their peoples. Little Use to Us The destroyers in question are of little use to us as long as the British navy remains unde feated. They will be fighting for America most effectively by be ing added to the British navy. If Hitler can seize the British isles and destroy the bases of the royal navy, even though he might not destroy or capture its ships, he will be in a dominant position. With the shipyards of Holland, Norway, Denmark and France added to those of Germany, Hit ler could, within the next six years or so, with the resources of the world at his cMsposal, build warships that would far eclipse anything that America could achieve in that direction. Why Not Ships? The United States has more than 150 destroyers, built during and after the World war and now over-age, which could soon be made available for service. If the United States can permit airplanes to go practically di rect from the United States to England, to be used in fighting Germany's air forces, there would give the old salts double apoplexy with a side case of palsy, it is a prospect of reform ing the manner in which things have been done traditionally in that department- No navy secre tary has yet won over the ad mirals. Developments are await ed. UNION OFFICIAL HERE FOR MEETING Herman Fahlbusch, interna tional representative of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America, ArL, arrived in Klam ath Falls Monday to attend a meeting Monday night of the local meat cutters' union execu tive board. Another visitor at the labor temple Monday was Jack O'Con ncll of Portland, international organizer for the teamsters' un ion. He was conferring here with H. E. Garich, business agent for the local teamstois union- NOW PLAYING liall atHtaWeSataa Allan Jn Man Hrtto Wiftst tauwOr PISS RAINBOW 9-H seems no logical reason why de stroyers also cannot be sent in a similar manner, with British or Canadian crews. Both airplanes and destroyers are warships. It we are wilting to evade the rule of international law in one case, why not m an other? There are arguments to the contrary, of course. Some mem- , bers ot congress contend fur- j nishing the destroyers would mean active United States par-1 ticipation In the war. 1 still do not see the difference between j selling airplanes to the British and selling them destroyers. , Tachnicalitias Eyed Legal arguments also have j been advanced. Tho New York i Law Journal says thai under ' technical law, no ban has been put on the sale o airplanes and munitions but sale of destroyers is forbidden. I It seems entirely technical, and a matter which congress should decide. There is the molter of public opinion. To examine both sides j of the question, the New York Times approved of Gen. John J. Pershing's proposal for the sale of 50 over-age destroyers to Bri tain. On the other hand, the New York Daily News opposed tho idea. The News said that since we have decided we need I double the strength of our pros-' cnt navy, now can we spare 50 i destroyers now, and perhaps 50 ! later when those have been j blown up? It is a question for the Ameri can people and congress to de cide. A healthy debate has arisen. The writer is expressing his opinion. Let others do the same.

Members of the committee, ap pointed a short time ngo by May or Clifton Richmond, were seat ed around the council table nnd gave their versions of Ilic "nui sances" which they say exist now that the softbull 1 ir let is used five nights each week. Committee members Include Mrs. Anna Pearson, H. M. Monroe serving for Mrs. Monroe, Harold A Brownell, ond Walter T. Raynor. B. P. Alexonder refused to serve on tho grounds of ill health. First to speak in protest was Mrs. Pearson who roinplaincd of the "noise, screeching, and rum to the lawn." Mrs. Pe.irson sold Ihcro was "no pence or comfort left for those living near tho park." Raynor, ulthoiiKh not a property owner, said he hud lived in tho some house for nine years and tho land was adjacent to the pork. Ho advised council members the glare of the strong lights used for night playing was the most disagreeable Ic.miru to him. and many residents report ed they could not sleep at nights because of the lights. Brownell told the council the park was a "continuous mus unec" ami that In h.nl lived in his home for 15 years and the loud speaker and the lights were disconcerting.

Before committee members were asked to speak. Spec Mur ray, city recreational director, outlined the history ot the park, told of the large sums of money invested, and attempts made to clear up the dust, noire, parking difficulties, and oilier complaints received from nearby residents. Murray also pointed out that sanitary facilities would be in stalled as soon lis f.inds were available, the lot would he put in turf, and thai already some $130 had been spent in oiling the streets of the area to reduce the dust " Loss of property value was pointed out by several of those appearing Including A. G. Pear son who told council members he "couldn't livo thine, couldn't sell his place, and who would stand the damage?'' Attorney F. O. Small, who said he was the "godfather of the conference," told members of the city council ht wished them to weigh carefully their decisions as it affected properly holders. "It looks to me as if you have gone at this thing backwards,'' Small said. "You have started the games before you are ready and have inflicted heavy prop erty damage on these men and women who, in middle age, hove put their sovlngs into smoll homes which have now been greatly reduced In value." A number of persons told the council a petition had been cir culated asking them to approve a turfed field for the children of Mills addition, and to be used as a playground with one corner utilized as a softbnll field. The council members denied issuing such a petition and a few words flew between Mayor Clifton Richmond and A. E.
