In Northern County
rIE huge pumice deposits of northern Klamath county
are "sufficient to serve the world's needs," according
to Ray Threasher, field geologist of the state department
of geology and mineral industries. 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? . Humanity

- The Evil That Men Do
k JARC ANTHONY, orating over the body of Caesar in
IVI Shakespeare's play, cynically said, "The evil that
men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with
tneir bones." ,
5 All too often it is so. Louisiana has spent several years
now trying to clean up the mess left by the Huey Long
machine. ; The board of supervisors of the state university
has only now got' around to apologizing to seven young
men who were kicked out of the university when they
resisted Long s attempts as governor to censor student
publications. . "
A small matter, yes, but the kind of thing which, as
long as no amends had been made, hung over the uni
versity and the state s general good name.
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."

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.

NEW YORK. March 21 (UP)
Col. Charles A. 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.
