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.

AT MEET HERE
"National Defense" Is the
theme of the district conference
of American Legion and auxil
iary" members as they gathered
for an all-day session In Legion
hall Tuesday. 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.

'PropWash'

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.

vest, and constant renewal of the

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.
