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

BEING MAPPED
Tentative plans for a dedlca
tion, open house and corner
stone laying for the new Salva
tion Army home at Fourth
street and Klamath avenue were
shaped at a meeting of the
army board at the chamber of
commerce Tuesday noon.
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.

with their requests. Burns will
go into the office of emergency
management, in the executive of

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

Continuing, he said;
"I propose that we cloie exits

against any possible attack upon
our continent. I mean that we
should not allow the axis to oc
cupy Greenland, Iceland, the
Azores, the Cape Verde islands,
the Canary islands, Singapore or

do occupy them it will only be
to have a vantage point from
which to jump at our throat.
"I propose that the United
States, in cooperation with Great
Britain, occupy all those terri
tories so we may stifle near its
source this threat which we
know to be aimed against us. I
If wo occupy these territories
we can keep the sea lanes of
