THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS.-OREGON Mny S, 1041 PAGE TWO RUMORS IE : ON LOCATION OF AflMY SITE A flock of rumors concerning :he location of an army canton- nent in Oregon has swept through here and other Oregon lilies In the past few weeks. Latest report, which appears to be well founded, is that en- lineers of the army have started extensive surveys at Medford ind Eugene. Whether they will make similar investigations at other Oregon communities has not been divulged, and efforts made by the chamber of com merce here for information on that point this week have been without result. The army, tra ditionally close-mouthed about its plans, has hewed to that line in this matter, , Klamath Falls as a possible location for the cantonment has received consideration. Army engineers visited this commun ity some weeks ago, looked over . nearby areas and asked for in formation. The Klamath county chamber of commerce prepared extensive and detailed reports on the areas viewed. The army officials asked that no publicity be given their local studies, and this policy was fol lowed here. Last week, how ever, a press service carried a news story on the cantonment location probabilities. It has been reported the can tonment would be built for 30, ' 000 men, and that an artillery range would be included in the development. A steady stream of migrant farm workers continued to par ade through Klamath Falls Thursday from migrant camps in southern California bound for strawberry picking work near Cornelius, Ore. , Up to Wednesday night 66 cars, said to be averaging about four persons per car, had passed through the city. . -' Transportation is being fum ' lshed by the Strawberry Fruit Growers association and routing done through cooperation with the California and Oregon State .Employment services. This year, according to the service's Klam ath Falls office, marks the first in a number of years that it has ,been necessary to go out in search of pickers. . Heretofore there has been a supply far in excess of the demand.

T AXIS ATTACK (Continued from Page One) struggle was high-lighted, mean while, in a report by Robert Hutchinson, chairman of the American Eagle club in London, that 10,000 United States citizens are fighting in the British and allied forces. At the same time, Berlin auth orities were reported preparing for heavier blows under the lash of the British counter-blitzkrieg. Nazi officials were said to be making a canvass of all homes in the German capital to find shel ter for bombed-out ersidents; and Jewish families were ordered to live in more restricted quarters so that all or part of their apart ments could be turned over to Aryans. Many Jewish families were reported being evicted from the desirable Charlotten burg area. It was explained that while comparatively few houses in Berlin have been wrecked by bombs so far, the RAF's latest raids with, the new British 'super-bombs" and incendiar ies have indicated what might be expected this summer.

Willkie last night called for "less talk and more ac tion" in providing effective aid , to Britain, regardless of whether it means convoys. He attacked the "Britain-can't-win" attitude of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and other non-interventionists. "The struggle is already upon us," the 1940 republican prcsi dential candidate said. "We can not shut our eyes to it." Lindy Booed An audience of 25.000 persons which jammed Madison Square garden for a "freedom rally" of the Committee to Defend Amer ica by Aiding the Allies, booed every reference to Lindbergh by Willkie and other speakers. Willkie did not mention the aviator by name but attacked as unfounded his theory that aid to Britain is useless and the war already lost. "Such conclusions," Willkie said, "run afoul of the opinions of experts, the understanding of reasonable men, and the experi ence of history. To think of Eng land's airpower as limited by the number of planes that can be based in the British Isles, while the airforce of the axis powers, with- all Europe as a base, con trol the situation, is like looking into the small end of a telescope Planes Needed "This war is being fought In the Middle East, in northern Africa and in the Far East. Planes are needed throughout that whole area as recent events around the Mediterranean have made tragically clear. Look at the map. Europe does not sur round the British common wealth of nations, the British commonwealth surrounds Eur ope. And all that far-flung com monwealth and associated peo ples, provide bases for airplanes. It is our job to supply the planes. Then England will have super iority." Desert Shooting Kills Mother, Wounds Guest (Continued from Page One) that she and Miss Destree help find Violet. Wells drove the women and baby into the desert, then forced them to walk half a mile through brush. He forced Mrs. Wells to write a note to her hus band, Ray, asking him to tell where Violet had gone. Then Wells killed Mrs. Jean Wells, shot Miss Destree, placed the baby in its mother's arms and left, believing Miss Destree was dead, also. Wells returned to San Bernar dino, got his brother and drove off. . Stocker said Ray had not been located and he feared he might have been harmed. Police found Violet Wells at Escondido, where she had gone to live with her mother, Mrs. Violet Davis, who also is the mother of Alfred and Ray Wells.

He said that by noon no trace had been found either of dyna- l mite or the suspicious men. Tho watchman, past 70 years old, had been employed, at the estate only a week. Gaffncy indicated, after talk ing with tho secret service agents, that the state pollco would drop its investigation on tho theory there either were no suspicious characters or that two men might have taken advantage of the old man by telling a fnke dynamite story.
