Bill PIT FOR AIRPORT job on Discussion of a proposed bor row pit at one corner of the air port expansion site brought the city council'! approval last night of a small additional pur chase of land for the $234,000 project. Ordinances for instituting con demnation proceedings to ac quire certain lands for the air port also were introduced at the weekly meeting. The city fathers were dubious when City Engineer E. A, Thomas told them the borrow pit would be about IS feet deep and possibly 20 acres In area, five acres of which lies outside the land now being bought for I the airport, but approval for the , purchase of the live acres was given when Thomas asserted that this land contained the only suit able gravel for the airport run ways and that the government , had already been forced to pare its estimates to fit the $254,000 allotment. Small Hasard Use of material located on the site would help cut costs, Thomas said, but admitted he didn't know who would be required to fill up the hole which in his opinion wouldn't constitute much of a hazard anyway. ( "The council should have free use of the place for a duck pond," Councilman R. H. Buss man remarked, and Councilmen John Keller and Rollln Cantrall chimed in that the mayor could have it for a swimming pool, or a skating rink. Beside attending to a thick sheaf of property sale ordi nances, the. council referred to the city attorney a protest against the city a ban on auction sales. Attorney Fred O. Small told the council he believed the ordinance was void and asked its repeal in behalf of a client. He suggested a regulatory license fee. "Club Law" Talked Also referred to the city at torney was matter brought to the council by Harry Molatore, operator of Molatore's. He said bis establishment, while primar ily a restaurant, was required to comply with the new state "club law," but that he didn't wish his place to be classed as a club by the dry, -which levies a $300 op erating license on drink clubs. Molatore said he believed most of the restaurants in town would coma under the new law. The opinion of the council was that the city club license applied oniy to establishments serving members only. Official notice of the national defense program was taken by Mayor John Houston when he changed the council's public worxa committee to the public works and defense committee. Bussman is chairman of the body. A $2219 WPA allotment for work on city streets and alleys was announced in a telegram irom senator Kurus Holman. En gineer Thomas said the money would be used on a Hot Springs addition sewer project and for a wall on Conger avenue. SPEED-UP ORDERED FOR DRAFT BOARDS SALEM, May 6 VP) Lt. Col onel Elmer V. Wooton, state se lective service director, ordered local boards today to speed up classification of registrants by disregarding previous restrictions on the rate of classification. Most local boards have com. pleted the original goal of classi fication of the first 20 per cent oi tneir registrants and classifi cation has been almost at a stand still, colonel Wooton said. Local boards were directed to send out questionnaires at a rate sufficient to enable boards to proceed continuously with the classification process. Approximately 650 men of over 3000 listed on the Klamath Falls Board 1 roster have been classified, Major Ted Case of the Selective Service headquar-l vw.u .UHUOI j On Board 2, considerably over ' uio u-pius per cent classified by i Board 1 have been sorted, Case i said. Latest figures reveal ap proximately 1000 out of nearly i 4000 registrants classified. j To Marshfield Mrs. Pat Ma-! ginnis of Klamath Falls spent i last weekend in Marshfield ! visiting her parents, Mayor and i Mrs. Albert Matson.

The building is now being re modeled and will be finished in about a month, it was stated by Adjutant Norman Bowyer. He said that former County Judge George Griulo has pre sented a cornerstone for the structure. The board decided that laying of the stone would afford opportunity for inviting the public to look over the new quarters, said to represent values in excess of $20,000 al though costing the Salvation Army only about halt that much. . i Further plans for the public event will be announced later, Adjutant Bowyer told the board that the gymnasium in the new building would be available for Boy Scouts and other community groups which might wish to use it. Fair success was reported from the recent effort to raise sufficient funds to cover the costs of completing the remodel ing work. Between $400 and $500 is needed, and further ef fort will be made to obtain this amount. SENATE DEFEATS (Continued From Page One) ers to Great Britain last year.

Burns will go into the office of emergency management, in the executive of fice of the president, as execu tive officer of a new division of defense aid reports. It was the president's belief, said Stephen Early, a secretary, that the job could be done bet ter by a military man, with an understanding of the whole pic ture, than by a civilian. It took a military order by Mr. Roosevelt as commander-in-chief of the armed forces to give Burns the new job. The division of defense aid re ports was created by a presiden tial executive order, which said it was to "provide a central channel for the clearance of transactions and reports, and co ordinate the processing of re quests for aid under the (lease lend) act" BASEBALL AMERICAN LEAGUE R.
