The Klamath municipal port, to which has been allocated $254,000 under the civil aeronautics auth ority airport expansion, received a visit this week from representatives of the CAA and the army engineers, who will act as the construction agency in the local work. They were here to work out details and get things started. As a matter of fact, Klamath Falls will have to move to keep up its end of the bargain. Necessary now is the ac quisition of additional land, the acceptance of responsibil ity for maintenance and operation of the airport for pub lic benefit, a promise for protection of the aerial ap proaches wjthin the city's power, and similar details. Land acquisition is the most serious problem ahead. While the immediate construction of two runways can pro ceed on the presently owned land, ultimate development of the port will require further acquisitions, possibly through condemnation. Klamath officials and the public here must be on their toes, and keep pace with the government's program. The possibilities of landing for this community one of the big ger aerial developments, similar to that at Pendleton, should not be overlooked. The fact the government has already recognized that the local airport has a part in the defense set-up is encouraging. Good Idea That Worked AS a means of dramatizing the city government in whol ly unprecedented fashion, and creating an esprit de corps among the rather large number of persons connect ed in one way or another with city affairs, Mayor John Houston's civic dinner idea proved an outstanding success. By actual count, there are 87 members of the city fam ily, including the appointive officers, the various boards and commissions and the elective officials, but excluding office employes, street employes, and members of the po lice and fire departments. That's a lot of reoDle. Probablv at no since the city has "grown up" has an effort been made to get them all together at one time. Mr. Houston's civic dinner represented such an effort, and it was evident that most or tnem responded. It afforded an opportunity to outline something of the new administration's program to me enure group and to promote cooperative effort and Closer relationships. Making the city government work will require a lot of drudgery and colorless routine. Much hard, constructive work will pass with little public recognition. Mr. Hous ton's idea was to give each hardworking group' its brief moment in tne sun, and mat should be helpful in forward' ing a spirit of loyalty and a will to accomoliah. The whole affair was an auspicious launching of the new city aaministrauon. News Behi WEfH By Eul Max lor YASHINGTON, Jan. 7 There is uu imu iur oily woras lu smooth over the reil apprehen sions 01 wis assembling con gress, now cogitating Mr. Roose velt's Initial advice. What they are saying Is that it will be momentous session." They mean they fear war will come before them as a voting proposition within their next two years, pos sibly within one. In talking with them you will find a majority has apparently noted the development of Ameri can position since the conflict broke in Europe: (1) Determined neutrality, (2) quiet aid to Brit ain and then (3) open aid. No one can know what further pro gression in that line will bring, but a fourth step of unlimited credits by leasing is at hand, and fifth might well be convoying the delivery of goods to Britain, then (sixth) the overt act of fighting on the seas when the convoys are attacked. SIDE GLANCES Up John Doerr IOHN DOERR made many friends in VWmafh Veil t i WxreS he fame here as a mmber of the staff of Crater auonai pant.

C. It is a well deserved promotion that promises much for the park service program he is to ad minister. i iIn J'l period of Mr- Dorr's tenure on the Crater lake staff, he had charge of the Klamath Falls office. Later he moved to Medford, but when E. P. Leavitt was made superintendent of Crater Lake, Mr. Doerr was chosen to be master of the ceremonies by which Klamath falls extended greetings to the newcomer. His friendly interest in this community and in Crater Lake is assured, and from here many friends send him greetings and con gratulations upon his deserved good fortune. BALSISER TO TAKE OVER SHRINE POST Elmer H. Balsiger, prominent in Shrine club affairs in this city, will take over his duties as president of the organization at a meeting called for 6:30 p. m. in the Willard hotel Wednesday night. New officers will be intro duced by the retiring president, Marshall E. Cornett. E. B. Hall will have charge of an interest ing program during the evening. Dinner will be served. Fudge Itulos Out M Am' Sex Teachings LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7 (UP) The sex teachings Of the "I Am" movement, which hold that marriage should be only for mental companionship, have nothing to do with mail fraud enarges, Federal Judge Leon R. Yankwich ruled yesterday. Judge Yankwich eliminated from the evidence In the mall fraud trial of nine leaders of the "I Am" movement any refer ence to the sex teachings of the religious organization. Judge Yankwich also ruled out evidence on the religious be liefs of followers of the late Guy W. Ballard, founder of the "I Am" movement, testimony that "I Am" leaders had prevented an attack on the Panama canal by sending out thought waves. RESISTANCE There is a group preparing to resist this course of possibilities, small, poorly organized band of minority republicans and democrats in the house, and a more efficient wing functioning in the senate under the leader ship of Senator Wheeler, who is succeeding, in part, to the place of the late Senator Borah. A casual check Indicates no more than 15 senators have been ac tively working with Wheeler so far. However, he may swing far more than that number away from the doubtful and confused centrists on certain issues, but he is fighting a tide. At the other end of the con gressional line is a growing num ber of those who hope with Sen ator Carter Glass that the navy is sent over "to blast hell out of Germany." Their hopes are hampered by the fact that our one-ocean fleet will receive only two additional new battleships delivered in 1941. (These two were started in 1937.) Our two ocean fleet will not be finished for five long years yet 1946. Admiral Stark has said the com pletion date could be advanced a year to 18 months by the ut most effort, and this no doubt will be done, but there is still a preparatory matter of three and a half years ahead of us. (No keels of the two-ocean program have yet been laid.) Between these congressional extremes is the great majority, very serious and worried, in contemplation of the gravity of the problems confronting it, but not by any means timid or lack ing in determination to follow the rearmament and British aid features of Mr. Roosevelt's pro gram through to the limit. KML 111 Vt Mk timet, trrnm-t rvf.ifT. "I hear she can tell him off more picturesquely than b yells at us." gather in the reins of power that were available. His associates say he has gained Mr. Roosevelt's con fidence by speaking frankly, practice not widely followed by government officials in their White House dealings. It probably that same trait of honest-talking which enabled Ray- burn to be Garner's best friend and a White House leader in congress in a period of political confusion within the democratic party. NEW MANNER Mr. Roosevelt handled ad vance arrangements for presen- tation of his program to this congress differently than ever before. Never have so many legislators been called to the White House for personal dis cussions as In the past 10 days. Most of them say he talked freely in general terms but with some reserve about details. With none of them did the president attempt to dramatize the situa tion. There was cold logic In both his manner and word. HEAD MAN Big man of this congress will be Sam Rayburn, the fair-mind ed, serious Texan. If the day of congressional bosses ihad not been terminated by modernization of the rules. and if Rayburn was less sternly democratic In his ways, he would be hailed as the successor to Joe Cannon and Champ Clark. As it is, he is the domi nant authority in the house and the most influential man In the whole of congress. He rules by remote control, simply by Knowing everything that is go ing on. Mr. Roosevelt has come to depend on him. White House telephone calls to his office have become Increasingly fre quent of late. Mr. Rayburn is thus taking a position as thelrst active speak er of the house since Garner. His past few predecessors have either been 111 or disinclined to PAT O'BRIEN WA8TE Unverified tales of some waste, inefficiency and even one or two broader suggestions of personal deficiencies in the de fense program are being told among congressmen. They concern mostly such things as the possibility that only 10 per cent of the 3000 "carpenters" working in one army construc tion camp were valid carpenters, and the one about a real estate man trying to sell a hilly estate in nearby Virginia for a landing field, although not even an auto gyro could land on it So far these seem to be only the usual minor offshoots of a vast hurried drive for defense. They are likely to be cleared up In the executive meetings of the I bouse appropriations committee. now under way. A separate con gressional investigation by a special committee is unlikely. Seven Injured In The It alien Ilus Accident THE DALLES, Ore., Jan. 7 0J.PJ The driver and six passengers were injured Monday when a Union Pacific bus skidded on the snowy highway and toppled over a high embankment two miles east of Mosier. The injured were: Dan Gilbert, driver, injured leg. Miss Florence Quick, The Dalles, broken arm and bruises. Miss Veva Cook, The Dalles head lacerations and bruises. Joseph Pulllnm, The Dalles, I shoulder Injuries. R. S. McRivett, Olympla, Wash,, severe back injuries. Marvin Ison, Hood River, severe bruises. Lewis J. Denny of The Dalles, severe bruises. An estimated six Inches of snow covered the highway where the bus careened through a guard rail on an Icy curve, plunged down a 175-foot embankment overturning three times and landed badly wrecked on Its back. The accident occured near the Mark A. Mayer ranch, now operated by J. R. Wilcox, who assisted in rescuing the injured passengers. MEXICO CITY. Jnn. 7 (UP) Responsible American business quarters toduy snld they were "positive" that Gcrmuny Is ob taining a restricted but nono-the-leas important amount of United States war materials mostly mctnln in ruclflc trans shipment through Japan and Siberia. These shipments, the American informants said, are being made through nazi commercial ugents in Mexico who are acting ui "fences." Consult Operating Coincldontally, it was revisit ed that President Roosevelt's wartime policy to expand diplo matic listening posts in the American furojgn servlco will increase United States consular establishments in Mexico to 24 prior to Feb. 1. It is considered no accident that three new American vice consulates, two of which already are operating, are all strategi cally located at western Mexican seaports from which flows al most all of Moxico's commerce to Japan, and where, Incidentally, much espionage activity hus been reported. Nothing Specific Henry A. Hoyt lust month opened an American vice con sulate nt Manzanlllo, Mexico's most important Pacific port. This is the only Mexican port where Japanese steamers itill call rrg-1 ularly. The war has increased tremendously Its importance, be cause it is through this usually sleepy harbor that move what materials including American are cleared from Mexico to Japan and Germany. The American Informants ad mitted they could not "put our '. finger" on specific consignments I of American mntcrlalt trans-1 shipped from Mexico to Germany but they were sure a certain quantity of war mctuls. notably tungsten, antimony, manganese and some mercury, were included in the shipments.
