Newspaper Page TextTHE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE. January 21. HMl PAGE TWO I AG Mil PROTESTED TO CITY COUNCIL (Continued From Page One) to g I v e the problem further tudy In the hope that a con structive lolution might be reached Mra. Davla spoke at length on tha question at the city council meeting, and said that people eemed generally to believe the Klamath Heating company plant on Klamath avenue is responsi ble for the "black ram." She said that she understood the heating company would be reauired to spend about $13 000 to alter its facilities and abate the nuisance. But, she stated, the cinders and'soot have proved costly to householders, . causing extra laundry and other cleaning expenses over a period 01 years. Snowfall Covered : "We hold nothing against the heating jmpany and are glad to have It operating here," she aaid, "but we believe proper steps should be taken to elim inate this nuisance.'.' . . . Mrs. Davis said that shortly after the new snowfall last . weekend the snow was covered with a black coating, indicating the large volume of dirt being released in the air here. ' Mayor John Houston- said that the matter will be referred immediately to the city plan ning commission. He called at tention to an- investigation which was made: after- .com plaints of a similar nature in 1939 and invited interested cit , izens to read this report. . Mills Cited " ' The report was-made by an investigating committee which - recommended that the services - of a combustion engineer be : employed to determine the source of the nuisance and the means of abating it While the . report said the Klamath Heat . lng company was named usually i as the chief offender, indications , were that cinders and soot were . coining from mills . arid also . from the heating plants of prl vt residences'. .- '-- The combustion engineer was' never hired. -At last night's meeting, it was , indicated a report will be made in about two weeks on the current complaints. Mrs. Walter Brown submitted a- petition bearing 11 5 -names asking - "uniform , landscaping and care of that 'forgotten and neglected niece of land" ' be tween the -paved strips on Pa- Cab Plan Adopted The matter was referred to the council as a whole. After a lively discussion, the council adopted a new plan for taxicab licensing - and parking place designations. Under this plan, taxicaba will be granted two spaces, as at present, but will be moved back one space from the corners of the intersections. The corner space will be open to public parking. The taxicab fee will remain at $100 a year per car. It was decided to ask the city attorney to prepare an amend ment to the taxicab ordinance to permit one stand only on'. Main street, , this action being taken' in behalf of a cab stand ' now operating on Main street near Seventh street. , : . : , This stand had been previous ly on Seventh, but upon com plaint of a business man was Refrigerator i Calif ornia-Paclf le - Utilities Co. ' moved around on Main street, Councilman Cantrall pointed out that this operation had long been in technical violation of the city ordinance, and that either the ordinance should be amended to eliminate the viola' tion or the stand should be moved off the main street. The ordinance will be amended. Mayor Urges Meters - Councilman Bussman wanted to know if the city could lease a piece of the street in front of a man's property without his permission. "Who pays for the paving of that street? ask ed Bussman. City Attorney D. E. Van Vacto- replied that the approval of a property owner was not necessary in - designating taxi- cab stands, and added that des ignating places for such stands does not constitute leasing. Mayor Houston said that if the plan of moving taxicabs back one space docs not work out i.tisfactorily, it can be changed. He said the whole plan was outlined in meetings with taxicab operators. The mayor urged that taxi cab companies install meters and encourage the use of cabs instead of cars which are park ed downtown and add to the general congestion. ITALIANS LOSE GROUND AFTER (Continued From Page One) lowed by further raids in day light Monday, the communique said, and "large explosions oc curred In the target area and a number of fires were caused. - Two Italian bombers which at tacked Piraeus, the port of Ath ens, were reported officially to have been shot down by Brit ish fighter planes in dogfights watched by cheering crowds in the capital's streets, five miles away.

President Laura Goode of Portland, accompanied by other officers throughout the state, arrived shortly before noon by car. A luncheon was served at Legion hall for auxil iary members and guests with Mrs. Vivian Mierlng of Med- ford, district president, presid ing. A business session opened at 2 o'clock with an address by President Goode who stressed the necessity of women's work, in the national defense program. Reports of local committees were heard. Ending the conference was the banquet to be served at 7 o'clock in the hall with Commander Kelley giving the keynote ad dress. Twenty out-of-town visitors, not including the Malin and Mer rill posts and auxiliaries, were here for the conference. U. S. ROLE, CLAIM (Continued From Page One) . mally expect from the United States. Kennedy appeared before the committee to testify on the ad ministration's proposal for lease lend aid to the British. In a ra dio address last week he ex pressed favor for the principle of giving the British all aid short of war but made it clear he was not wholly in accord with the methods put forward by Presi dent Roosevelt. Not Understood Questioned as to whether he believed a "crisis" would devel in the next 60 or 90 days, as administrative spokesmen told the committee last week, Ken nedy said he did not know ex actly what was meant and that there were many things in the military situation which he did not understand. I have never understood, for instance, why the German army permitted a British army of 300,- 000 to escape from Dunkerque, he said. If the German air force was as strong as they claimed, he continued, he thought they had a perfect chance to annihilate that British force. Strength Not Shown The diplomat said also he could not understand why the Germans had not wrought great er destruction in Britain's indus trial centers. 'If they have the strength to capture the air," he said, "the crisis might come any day. So far, they haven't indicated they have that strength. Representative Fish (R-N.Y.) asked Kennedy whether he knew the war aim of the British. "I certainly don't sir," the am bassador replied. When Fish asked whether Kennedy thought something ought to be done to let this country know the nature Of those war aims before proceed ing with further aid to Britain, Kennedy said he did not under stand the question and suggest ed it was one for the state de partment. Britain s situation would be come serious and vital, Ken nedy said, if British shipping losses continued at anything like the rate of losses prevalent pre vious to last month.

Box 409, News-Herald.- 1 J - 01 EN 'PropWash' By BILL CUMMINGS A description of progress made by one of the 10 stu dents enrolled In the Klam ath rails- oiTlllan pilot train ing program. ' ,'-' i Lesson No. It COORDINATION When the weather finally cleared, after keeping the train ing plane grounded for a week, I found the long layoff had played hob -with my meager flying ability. Instructor Stinson went aloft with me on the first hop to demonstrate a new maneuver xig-zagging across a line on the ground. The takeoff was a slop py exhibition. Over-eager, I at tempted to pull the ship off be fore it had adequate flying speed, . resulting in a series of hops, skips and Jumps before we "finally "got into the air. Once aloft, the S-turns and zig-iagglug came easy enough, but when I attempted the co ordination exercise keeping the nose glued to a single point on the horizon while rolling the plane on its longitudinal axis that was a different story. The ship yawed all over the sky. "Quit It before you make me airsick!" moaned Instructor Stinson. Se we headed back to the port. - As I came in for the landing. I gunned the motor to clear a large mud-puddle. Then just before the wheels touched, Chet began calling the shots. "We're going to bounce," he predicted. We did. "We're going to bounce again," he said, as the plane careened into the air. And we did; I had "flown Into the ground," neglecting to break the glide quickly enough. "Now take it up and see how bad you bounce alone," said i Chet, climbing out. The next landing was a great deal better, and the third was smoother yet. Then I went up again to practice coordinating rudder and aileron, flying solo for 40 minutes before getting back to the barn. LEGISLATURE GETS GOVERNOR'S PLAN FOR FOREST LANDS (Continued From Page One) vest, and constant renewal of the resource. The legislature, which during the first nine days of its session has been occupied almost exclu sively with the introduction of bills, will begin late this week or early next week to pass meas ures, Speaker Robert S. Farrell, Jr., said. Old age pension legislation ' came to the front today with , resolution by Rep. Vernon D. Rnll m-TInlonT demanding an in- vestigation of the administration ! of the pension law. Other bills would increase maximum pen sions from $30 to $40 a month, and provide tnat at least two of the seven members of each county public welfare commis sion shall be on relief rolls, Anti-Gambling BUI Senator Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Multnomah) - introduced two bills which he said would "break up a gambling ring which has been going pretty strong in Port land for the last 20 years." One of them would make It a felony instead of a misdemeanor to operate a gambling establish ment and would remove guilt from the player, rne supreme court! recently held that the player shares guilt equally with the operator. The second measure, similar to a bill which passed the senate last session but died in the house, would make the landlord, of a gambling establishment a de fendant in any suit to recover gambling losses. Senator Lew Wallace (D-Mult-nomah) introduced a bill which would give to each old age pen sion applicant the maximum pen sion less any monthly income the applicant has from other sources. Wallace said many per sons were being denied pensions because they had a monthly in come of few dollars. A, measure to reapportion the state legislature on the basis of 66 2-? per. cent by population and 33 1-3 by area will be intro duced. In the' state legislature, Senator Lew Wallace (D-Mult- nomah) said last night. -Air .roads'. lead to Rome, the ancients said.
