All rlarhta of rapubtloa apacla dlipatcbaa ara alao raaarrad. thta papar, tloa of First Measure FIRST measure on the November ballot is a constitutional amendment that would remove the present provisions prohibiting a secretary of state or state treasurer from serving two successive terms. As it now reads, the con stitution states that "no person shall be eligible to either of said offices more than eight in any period of 12 years." This is, in effect, an anti-third term tradition written into the Oregon constitution as it effects the tenure of state secretary and state treasurer. Whereas a third term may not be desirable for a president of the United States, or even a governor, there is little to be said for the present limitation on the offices of secretary and treasurer. In the case of governor, for instance, it is a fact that he has extensive appointive power and really heads the regime m control of the state government in the term of his office. He might conceivably assume too much power, and perpetuate himself in office a fear that the framers of the constitution no doubt had in mind when they limited the terms of governor, secretary of state ana treasurer. But the offices of secretary of state and treasurer are administrative, and of a nature where long experience and skill are needed by the men who fill them. A private corporation would be more likely to make changes in its president or the chairman of its board than it would in the offices of secretary and treasurer. Supporters of tne proposed amendment argue with considerable justi fication that the people of Oregon should be given the same privilege of continuing tried servants in these two offices. He Can Tell Us AN opportunity to get the straight facto from a man who knows what happened in Norway last April, when the Nazis took that country over, will be afforded Klamath Falls people Wednesday night At that time Carl Jf. Hambro, president of the Norwegian parliament van a president or the council of the League of Nations, will speak at the high school auditorium. Mr. Hambro was there. When the German irtvaaion occurred, he assumed the leadership in the parliament' evacuation or usio, first to Hamar, then to Elverum, and he joined the king and government at Tromsoe and went with them to England. He came to the United States in a freighter. He is thus clothed with the full authority of office and of experience to tell the straight story of the Nor wegian debacle. He can give the facts on Quisling and the "Trojan horses" w'e heard so much about at the time of Norway's fall. He should give some interesting first hand information on Nazi invasion methods. The lecture promises to be one of the most interesting of the year in Klamath Falls. It should be well attended. Break for Community THE local selective service boards are to be congrat ulated on their employment of Major Theodore Case to nanaie tneir joint otrices now opened in the basement of the courthouse. Major Case, long active in national guard work here, has been deferred from active service due to the rigid physical requirements of the United States army, and will serve the draft boards pending re-classification. He has had years of service and is thoroughly qualified for the work now before him. His service deferment, while no doubt a personal disappointment, looks like a real "break" for the draft boards and for the entire community. Here's a welcome home to Major Case and an ex pression of our confidence that his services to his country here, pending other developments that may yet take him elsewhere, will be of the highest quality. WT ASHING TON, Oct. Jl epi i . ,. . iiiuivugii overnauung ot the whole defense setup is await ing the outcome of the election The administration has Quietly decided to do it if Mr. Roosevelt wins. Greatly enlarged powers will be granted the defense commis sion by the president. A shake down in personnel is being planned. An overall coordinator will probably be named, instead of a chairman (Mi. Roosevelt does not like the chairman idea since Willkie mertioncd it first.) The baton job is slated to go to Don Nelson, now functioning in that capacity without power, rather than to Leon Henderson or William S. Knudsen. as has been frequently suggested. At least one industrialist has a foot out the door. John D. Biggers, president of Libby, Owens, Ford Glass company, has been suf fering unpleasantly from pres sure of the new dealers. But more important than these contemplated readjustments is the related plan to have the president issue tui executive or der empowering the commission to lay a heavy hand on manu facturers. Authority to enforce priorities of government con tracts would be granted. Skilled labor could be requisitioned from one industry to another. - Dissatisfaction with the way defense is going is far greater on the inside than the public realizes, worse than Mr. Willkie has charged. A swarm of bugs has developed it: the initial op eration. The sdm.nistration is trying to ait on them until the campaign is over. ENDS TODAY ERROL FLYNN and Olivia DeHavilland "Dodge City" fV&M.M .. TOMORROW a atSsS OCT. 22-23 XMTsT.a' Ava. WILLKIE GAINS The current buak of the polls from the Roosevelt trend was first forecast exclusively in this column, dated October 4. Repub licans now have been further heartened by heavy registrations throughout the country. They attribute this to Willkie clubs getting out the white collar vote that formerly confined its elec toral activities to vocal comment. Some business clubs also have helped by levying a fine of $3 upon every memoer who fails to register. ' When Mr. Roosevelt accumu lated the unprecedented total of 27,000,000 votes in 1936, his poll actually represented the approv al of only about one-fifth of the population of the United States (including children.) No figures on adult voting population are available but it is eleai that Mr. Roosevelt's "popular mandate" was rendered by far less than a majority of eligible citizens. a a WAR DATA The United States army is slipping war observers over to England constantly by commer cial airline for a few weeks sur vey. From an air corps officer recently back from such an air observation trip, congressmen have privately learned. Great numbers of American planes are being fought daily against trie Germans but you never hear of them because the British paint thtm and make a few other changes to disguise their identity. They are never Identified in communiques.

Hitler is pinched for experienced first- class pilots. English anti-aircraft has been eiftctive but is not available in sufficient num bers. British morale is amazing. Ob servers who hurried to spots where bombs hit in London gen erally found spectntors includ ing children commenting not on the damage done by the bomb as much as the possibility that a British plane get the German assailant. . II GASOLINE Most dangerous of our defense deficiencies is in high octane gasoline for aviation Defense commission has iaund 100 days would be required to step up production to a necessary war time rate, and h-.s recommended storing 100 days supply for emer gency. Complications arose as to where the war and navy depart ments would get the money. The great lender, Jesse Jones, final ly agreed to make funds avail able. But nothing has been done despite the alarm expressed about the situation by everyene from the top of tne White House on down. . SECRET SLIPS The generally l.gnt-llpped Mr. Jones incidentally relaxed too much on octane gasoline. Na tional defense commission was careful not to let anyone know how much 100 days supply at wartime rate would be. Not knowing this was a military secret, Jones in a press confer ence freely confessed the amount of money he would make avail able for so many million gal lons, giving the exact figure. All the zapps had to do was to take that figure and divide by 100 to calculate the extent of Brady Narey, manager of Cal Ore tavern, last week received the congratulations of scores of I friends on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the popular night spot on tho Weed highway near uorns.
