They hold, Mr. Threasher says, considerable promise of development. but he warns that it should be brought forward in pace with the market, and not ahead of it Present world conditions add to the prospects for Klamath pumice. In the past, practically all pumice used in this country for construction, insulation, etc., has been imported, much of it from Italy. These imports have virtually stopped, and it follows that the market should expand for domestic pumice. On the basis of present knowledge and development, the field geologist says, Klamath's biggest opportunity in the mineral field is in industrial minerals such as pumice, although he has heard of possibilities of cinnebar deposits in this area. The volcanic froth that covers so much of northern Klamath county may be the basis for sound industrial development, now starting in a small way. Northern Klamath is a part of the last frontier, with possibilities that may not be fully suspected. It has come ahead more rapidly in recent years, with the Gilchrist Lumber company opening up operations on its vast holdings, with the Willamette and The Dalles-California highways attaining vastly increased importance in the coast travel picture, and with industrial minerals re ceiving increasing attention. . We are going to hear more about northern Klamath In the future. Generous Americans OLD UNCLE SAM is being asked for plenty these days. The French, Spanish, British and others want his food. Nations in financial stress want his money. There are Greek, Norwegian, Finnish, Chinese and. other relief funds being made up in this country. There are Bundles for Britain and "free French" money raising efforts under way. America's aid may determine the outcome of great military struggles in Europe and Asia in which it is net directly interested. . i .. A great portion of the world is turning to the people of America for help, through individual giving or through the government of this country. And Americans, if they are certain of the need, will give generously. They have always been that way. ; They are not interested in the measure of gratitude they will receive from those now in need of help. Will Uncle Sam some day be Uncle Shylock again? .

Hitlerized America Visioned ) By Wheeler in Anti-War Talk WASHINGTON, March 21 flJP) Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, (0-Mont.), charged last night that British "propagandists and the committee -to defend America by aiding the allies "have nearly attained their objective active American participation in a for eign war." Speaking over a nationwide NBC radio network, he called on the nation to fight against "war and against ' every step which gives dictatorial powers to the president.'' War, he asserted, would, - "produce a Hltlerlzed America even though Hitler will be dead and buried." Wheeler, 'an outstanding op ponent of the recently-enacted lend-lease bill, said that law "must and should be respected by all our people regardless of their previous opposition to It' because it is law. But he assailed the pending 17,000,000,000 Brit ish aid appropriation bill and said it was sponsored by leslsla ton who opposed million-dollar appropriations for domestic re lief. He recalled that In a siieech last month, he asked this ques tion: "Is the forgotten man of 1933 doomed to be the unknown BOldler of 1842?" ' "Tonight," he said, "I venture another statement all-out aid for England, Greece and China means all-in war for the United States." Hi speech was regarded as" a reply to-Tmldent Roosevelt's address of last Saturday night in which he appealed for national sacrifice in an all-out effort to speed aid to the anti-axis nations. Wheeler said that "in the days when President Roosevelt, to use his own language, was driving the money changers from the temples of government and Wall street lawyers practiced law in New York City," payment of the soldiers bonus "meant bank ruptcy" and "Dr. Townsend was a dangerous radical" for advocat ing his old-age pension plan. "Today," Wheeler said, "all Is changed. Where are the money changers and the economic royal ists? They have been reinstated in the temples of government. They have been lured from Wall street to Washington with White House invitations. They are no longer called economic royalists they are the dollar-a-year men who dispense billions upon bil lions of dollars in defense con tracts. It is they who sit In the seats of the mighty. It is they who direct the policies of this government. I "It Is these fugitives from Wall street accompanied and guided by royal refugees and the British propagandists who Insist that the present war is a crusade against fascism." He said that "those of us anxious to preserve civil liberties and peace" have been subjected to a "smear camDaien" and 'cries of pro-nail Hitler agent." "This is bigotry in its vilest By Paul Mallom YAGHJNGTON, March 21 The strangest congressional hearing in many a legislative oay was tm house appropria tions subcommittee inquiry to determine if Mr. Roosevelt's re quest for $7,000,000,000 is Justi fied. . War Secretary Stimson was called to exude official adminis tration light on the subject. He testified: "In the first place the British submitted a confidential list some months ago of their re quirements," but he was hazy about it, conceding ten minutes later the list was furnished "about a month ago as I recall it." Asked Republican Representa tive Taber: "Has a program been jam oui io gei me things you have, in mind, or is it expected that you will supplement it la ter?" Stimson: "That is subject. Mr. Taber, to so many contin gencies of war that it is almost impossible to answer it exactly." Mr. Knudsen, the production boss, was called. "We have a preliminary schedule," he said. We have a sort of forecast cov ering the $7,000,000,000, but it is not in final form." Representative Cannon asked what credit this government would get for the materials, and whether they would be in ventoried at the cost of produc tion. Mr. Knudsen: "I haven't the faintest idea." suagei director smith was called. He was asked how the expenditure would be super vised. "I do not think that has been finally determined." said Mr. Smith, "but it is my under standing there will be some kind of a policy committee, probably consisting of cabinet officers who will work at this program in re lation to their own." Rep. Ludlow: "Where will the records of this vast transfer of material be kept? In your office?" Smith: "I don't know exactly what sort of system we will have, but the original records will be kept in the departments with some provision for central izing summaries." After an hour or so of this. the congressmen gave up. It was apparent that Hitler is not the only one to be left in 'the dark about what is afoot. The administration refrained so care fully from tilting its hand that the congressional leaders found it difficult to muster justifying material for the open house de bate. Sedate Chairman Woodrum of the house appropriations com mittee solved the problem by avoiding the mundane matter of fighting implements as follows: "Oh Freedom! Thou are not as poets dream, "A fair young girl with light and delicate limbs. "Any wavy tresses rushing from the cap, etc., etc (But) ... "A bearded man armed to the teeth." That settled that. a a SETTLED Mr. Woodrum also settled the matter of where the $7,000. 000,000 is to come from in ac cordance with the formula in his subcommittee hearings. In his speech he asked himself: "How are we going to pay the bill?" and he answered himself: "I do not know." a a a PRIORITY The treasury department re cently ordered many thousands of zinc address plates. These were to be used to address pack ages of propaganda promoting sales of baby bonds to finance the defense program. The department was soon shocked to hear that Mr. Knud sen's OPM declined to let them have their zinc plates. Reason: That much zinc would supply 10 bombers, and the bombers are more important than address plates designed to sell bonds to raise the money for purchase of the bombers. Lindy Asks U.

Lindbergh, as serting the situation in the United States today Is "alarm ingly similar" to that In France and England before the Euro pean war, called upon the Amer ican people last night to "take the reins in hand once more" against American involvement in the war. In "A Letter to Americans" published in Collier's magazine, Lindbergh assailed British pro paganda as leading the United States ' to war though, "like France and England in 1939, we are unprepared today." "We have not as many thor oughly modern fighting planes in our army and navy com bined," he wrote, "as Germany produces in a single week." "Short of War" Lindbergh charged Interven tionists, believing that while the "people of the United States would not agree to a declaration of war, we could be beguiled Into supporting steps that would inevitably lead to war-," advo cated steps which "they called 'short of war' steps which have already entangled us, and which will leave us no alternative to war if we continue to take them." To enter the war against Ger many successfully, Lindbergh held, "we must prepare for It not for one year or two, but for 10 years or for 20 as Germany has done." The situation In 1917 was dif ferent, he argued, since then the central powers were fighting France and Britain in the west, Russia in the east, and Italy In the south and the "German armies had already suffered bc vcre reverses." TOKYO, March 21 tFt Tho Japanese government greatly strengthened Its control over the nation's wartime organiza tion Thursday as three recently- revised laws, establishing heavy penalties for economic crimes, became effective. The recent session of the diet seeking to throttle the growing number of violations of cconom 1c laws and restrictions, added teeth to the national general mobilization law, the common and temporary exports and im ports disposal law and to crlm inal law. Hundreds of thousands of eco nomic violations are reported annually and the revised legis lation, beside being aimed spe cifically at these, extends the government's supervision of bus iness, industry, transportation, agriculture and foreign and do mestic trade. Parallel steps toward consoli dation of a "high-powered de fense state" are said to be im minent. ' The groundwork was being completed for Inauguration, pos sibly in April, of a series of con trol organizations, under which plants producing key wartime products would be grouped un der virtual economic dictators appointed by business men but responsible to the government. The three revised laws, speci fying maximum punishments of 30,000-yen fines ($11,700), 10 years imprisonment or both for economic crimes, provide the background for the proposed new industrial system, under which Industries would be formed Into groups, each with its own appointee as supervising chairman. This man would assign pro duction quotas, dovetail the country's requirements in his own industry group, control the partitioning of raw materials, be responsible to supreme economic conference which In turn would form liaison between all industries and be responsible to the government.

"We may have to take care of a larger number of unem ployed than tha three and a half million that was the maxi mum load ever carrlad by the WPA." Hunter said tha planning for the anticipated period of unem ployment will be done by tho WPA. the national resource planning board, the bureau of public roads and the public works administration.

Hunter said there are still about 7,000,000 unemployed per sons in the United States, with 1.750.000 still on WPA rolls. He said about 4.000,000 unemployed will have to be absorbed with the help of tho defense pro gram by the end of 1041. WANT THEIR FARM NEWS CHARLESTON, W.
