districts for water used in excess
of certain stated amounts. Irri
gation districts of this area are
on record against the practice, as
is the Klamath county chamber
of commerce.
Opponents of the bureau's
charge assert that in the con

whether the irrigable lands of
the Klamath basin have a vest

tenant to them or not.
"This hearing and its results
are of supreme importance to
the irrigated land owners of the
Klamath project and of great Im

A. M. Thomas, manager of the
Enterprise irrigation district.

House Eases Wheat
Quota Penalty Law
WASHINGTON, July 21 m
The house passed today legisla
tion to amend the wheat market
ing quota act to permit farmers
to sell their normal production
of wheat, even If harvested from
excess acreage, without paying
penalties.
Rep. Rizley (R-Okla.) told the
house the bill "takes care of the
farmer with excess acreage and
a crop failure."
It was explained the measure,
which now goes to the senate,
would allow a farmer who had
a 100-acre allotment and a nor
mal production of 10 bushels an
acre, to sell penalty-free 1,000
bushels even though the produc
tion actually came five bushels
an acre from 200 acres. Under
rthe present law the penalty
would have to be levied on all
produced on acreage in excess
of the 100-acre allotment.

German Story
(The German radio broadcast
today a 300-word account of how
V-signs had appeared through
out occupied territories, attrib
uting this to "the tremendous

cast was recorded in New York
by CBS.

" "viktoria for Europe' has taken

(In the various territories, it
cited the use of V on official
cars, trains, street cars, banners,

"tragic error" to eliminate about
two-thirds of tha trained soldiers

The steps which the chief ex
ecutive took to undorscoro the
administration's desire for ex
tended sorvieo during a period
of world crisis was considered
to somti extent an acknowledge
ment of a strong opposition ox
Istont in congress. Compromises
have been advanced.
But Mr. Roosevelt snld he was
not asking congress for specific
language in a specific bill. He
said that he hoped the legislat
ors "will acknowledge this na
tional emergency either for a
specific period or until revoca
tion by the congress or the presi
dent."
The objective, he declared Is
the all Important Issu.
The chief executive said ha
was confident men in the ranks
realized better than the public
the "disastrous effect" which
would result from permitting the
present army to melt away and
set back the training and ex
pansion program at least six
months.
Noting that last year's selec
tive service legislation definitely
provided that the one year train
ing program could be extended
by congressional action If a na
tional danger later existed, the
president added:
"I do not believe that the
danger to American safuty is
les than It was one year ago
when, so far as the army was
concerned, the United States was
in a woefully weak position, I
do not believe that the danger
to our national safety Is only
about the same as it was a year
ago.
"I do believe I know
that the danger today is Infinite
ly greater. 1 do believe I
know thot In all truth we
are In the midst of a national
emergency."
In addition to recommending
continued service, the president
said ho thought congress also
should remove restrictions on
the number of selectees inducted
each year. The limit now Is
900.000.
He also urged congress pro
vide that employers be naked to
continue keeping open jobs for
men who havo been held In the
army.
He promised to direct the re
turn to civil life of those whose
retention on active duty would
"impose undue hardship" and
that guardsmen and selectees
who had become 28 would be
transferred from active service
to a reserve component of the
army as rapidly as possible.
