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.
Women Needed to
Cut Potatoes
The state employment office
- reported Thursday afternoon it
had received a call for 30 women
to cut potatoes for a ranch oper
ator in this district.
( Work should continue for
about a month, the employment
office reported.' Those interested
should get in touch with the
state office, Third and Main
streets.

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 RAPS
TALK BRITISH
CHANCES SI
NEW YORK, May 8 (UP)
Wendell L. 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."

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.

Hogan added.
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.

of smoke spread over the dis
trict, the hotel management esti
mated damage at only $5000.

blaze since the Lincoln hotel
burned on April 6, 1920, with a
loss of five lives.
