WWII by Curt to City . n Out Month ' Thm Months Out Imi Good Water, Good Land, Good Men AT the current hearing on irrigation water charges, one of the special commissioners. Dr. Peterson, made ' the comment in effect that Klamath irrigation!. ( would feel differently about water usage and restrictions if there was not so much water in Upper Klamath lake. He made - the comment in reference to conditions on some Laiuor . nia water projects. , . Dr. Peterson is right, but the fact remains that the local irrigationista need not feel differently because they ' do have the abundant supply in Upper Klamath. They 1 are in a position to use all the water necessary to the ; maximum production from their land, and they should have opportunity to take full advantage of the oppor tunities thus afforded them. One witness before the commission told of operating , on his ranch for 40 years, and the land is more produc t tive now than it was when he started. Another had the same experience in 25 years of operation. Such records ! are a tribute to the sound practices followed by these and ' other farmers like them on the lands of the Klamath project In their cases, at least, they have not abused the v privileges afforded them through the advantages of a ' great natural reservoir. It was also testified at the hear ing that more land is coming back from Class 5 (unfit for sound cultivation) than is going into that classifica tion, which is an indication of general prevalence of sound practices upon the project A fair appraisal of the situation on the Klamath pro ject, of course, will take into consideration the presence of a great natural supply of good water and the ability of the land to produce abundantly and indefinitely when that water is properly applied. It will also take into con sideration the high calibre of farmers who make up the vast majority operating on this project Charter Discussion A NUMBER of important questions may be opened up if the city council proceeds seriously with us pro posed consideration of a new charter for Klamath Falls. There is, for instance, the possibility that the people of the city should be given an opportunity to vote on a city manager form of government A city manager pro posal was defeated here' many years ago, and it may be that prevailing sentiment is still against it. But a number of Oregon cities are operating successfully under various forms of the city manager plan, such as the eouncil-man-ager plan, and perhaps Klamath voters would like at least to have opportunity to express themselves on such a proposition. It is possible that if a vote is to be taken on the char ter, it would be advisable to offer certain alternatives and permit the people to make their choice among them. These things are mentioned here chiefly because they indicate an opening field of discussion in which those interested in city affairs should participate. Formation of a new charter means the opportunity to modernize and re-vamp local government and to correct any faults that may be existent in the present set-up. It should focus constructive attention on the city government Courthouse Rtcords MONDAY Complaint! Filed Bertha Lillian Stout versus Curtis Clarence Stout. Suit for divorce.

M.tt City Councilmen Discuss New Charter for Klamath Mayor John Houston was au thorized by the city council last night to appoint a charter com mittee to study the possibility of preparing a new charter for Klamath Falls. Last week. Councilman Rollin Cantrall proposed the city "do something" about its ancient charter, copies of which are said to be scarce. Herman Kehrli, secretary of the League of Ore gon Cities, in a letter read last night suggested the appointment of a charter committee and said the league will help Klamath Falls prepare a new charter. It was decided to get estimates of printing cost in time for con sideration of the budget commit tee this fait A new charter would have to be adopted by vote of the people of the city. The next city elec tion is In November, 1042. Mayor Houston did not indi cate how soon he will appoint a charter committee. R. H. Corey, consulting en gineer of Portland, wrote the city suggesting the council con sider purchase of the water sys tem from the California Oregon Power company. He said bond demand and interest rates are now favorable. Mayor Houston referred the matter to the public works com mittee headed by A. H. Buss- man. The mayor said it might be advisable to get a price com mitment from the company for future use, but said the matter should be given further study. Councilmen pointed out that a water bond Issue was defeated a few years ago. Park Proposed A new city park between Ewauna and Second streets ! above Main was proposed by A. B. Epperson.

July 29 The Japanese grab of Indo- China appeared on Its face to bo a Hitler-made trick, worked through Vichy. People general ly have so considered it but not the top-men of Mr. Roose- veils diplomatic stuff. They have direct Information which leads them to believe the Tokyo cabinet was moved by al most wholly selfish opportunis tic reasons. The primary con sideration was to get another most easily available stopping stone toward Asiatic domlna tlon. Some day the Japs want to work northward, but not un til the soviet becomes too weak to resist. The south was unde fended. The seizure could be accomplished without military risk. Only after those two suffi cient reasons had been estab lished did the Jup.i consider the nnzl interest of diverting U. S. and British attention, according to this information. In fact, some Jap cablneteers opposed the step for this reason. CUTTING LOOSE Everything Inside here Indi cates the Japs are, In fact, mildly cutting themselves loose from the Berlin axis and strik ing out on their own. If this Interpretation Is cor rect, there will be no Jap at tack on Singapore, the Dutch East Indies or the Philippines. They would only occupy and consolidate their current ill-gotten gain, while awaiting a simi lar opportunity to sneak the next one without a fight (the same kind of game Russia played with Hitler before she was attacked). If this runs counter to much that you read and hear, remem ber a diplomatic war of nerves is being played around the event. ANOTHER PICTURE A far different version of the red-nazl struggle than has been offered In the official communi ques is reaching the authorities of this government. Last Sunday night, for In stance, while radio commenta tors were making listeners feel good with announcements that the second Hitler drive had failed ("The Russian army Is as strong as when the fray start ed," one said), a map of the ac tual situation was in circulation among officials. It showed the Russians hold ing three giant pockets behind the German lines, completely surrounded, but with food and ammunition sufficient to last for weeks without communica- LAST TIMES TONIGHT!

Largest of these pockets was south of Lugo, controlling sections of both railroads going north to Leningrad. Another was at Smolensk. Although the German line had passed cast of Smolensk and the anvance guard wus actually within 100'mllna of Moscow, nevertheless the Russians still controlled the Smolensk rail head and the terminus of a four-lane hlghwuy leading to Moscow. The third pocket wus ut Kiev, where the nazts had also passed around the red city nrmy cling ing to the rail Junction. From these facts, it was evi dent rosy Interpretations were out of order for either side. The reds were working a new mili tary strategy employing suicide pockets of their troops around tho most Important railroads on a large scale (the Luga pocket was supposed to contain a couple hundrefl thousand red troops). How this would work out was anybody's guess, but tho Germans were clearly In the best strategic position. Stalin and the main purl of tho soviet government were still In Moscow. Only some unim portant bureuus had been moved east (commissar for timber, com missar for fisheries, etc.) The British found early in this war that rosy reporting brought the same popular reac tion as corn llkkcr.
