Im mediate action was necessary in order to clear the way for the additional expenditure of $278,000 by the fed eral government on the Klamath airport, and court mem bers, with commendable judgment, agreed to do what was necessary. We believe the public will support that decision. ' Here is the situation: The civil aeronautics author ity plans for further airport expansion, just announced. require the closing of a section of the Spring Lake road (Summers lane extension). Before this part of the road can be closed, an alternate route must be provided for those people who regularly use the road. Some months ago when the matter first came up, it was not anticipated action would be required until next year, and the court had planned to carry out the work on next year's budget and possibly two more years after that. Then, suddenly, the government offered another $278,000, asking that the way be cleared immediately for construction of another runway, making ours one of the finest airports in Oregon. J Another factor demanding immediate action: If there is no delay, the government can permit the present air port contractor to proceed with the additional work on a'unit basis. This will eliminate the loss of time in letting another contract, and assure the expenditure of the money here. If permitted to drag through the winter, the new work might be cancelled. t The airport road change will cost the county about $6000. The city is spending in excess of $50,000 in pro viding a site lor the airport expansion, and originally provided another large sum for the original airport The county's share in the cost is small, but even so, it is not easy to find at this time. The court members agreed to build the road, and such assurance was passed on to the army engineers, construction agent on the airport. The money will be used from the emergency fund and other sources legally available. It is a squeeze, but it is just fied by the benefits promised. The expenditure by the CAA of nearly $600,000 on tje Klamath airport has been officially described as necessary to the national defense. What city and county are putting into the field may therefore be regarded not only as exceedingly important to the future of aviation for this community, but as a contribution to national de fense. Those who must wait for road work they hoped to get this year, but cannot get because of the airport A if 1 . 1 1 situation, snouia iook ax it in xnat way. j Reward of Appeasement RUSSIA must be industriously kicking itself these days. In the 18 months just before Germany turned on the friend who had tried to appease her, Russia sent Ger many a million tons of oil, including lubricants and avia- Hon gasoline. That is a British estimate, and though Germany never got as much oil from Russia as she had hoped, there is no reason to doubt that she got that much. Now that same aviation gasoline, or its equivalent, Is being used to bomb Moscow; those same lubricants, or their equivalent, smooth the way for the panzer di visions in tneir anve on Kiev and Leningrad. J But let's not laugh too raucously. We've shipped a lot of oil and scrap iron to Japan and now we're worry ing about shortages of oil and scrap iron at a time when we may be due for trouble from Japan. -WITH SPECIAL RCINfORCgP TOE THE OWERAM'S PREA Behi THLVtfe By PaulMallon OSC Boosters Club Meets Tonight 'Announcement of plana for the annual Oregon State Boost er's club will be made tonight at a club meeting in the Willard hotel ballroom at 6 o'clock.

(To The Editor) The thing that calls himself a man, that stoops so low as to put out poison to kill dogs, should go back to the muck and slime which is his home. My dog was poisoned last week, and if I could get my hands on the dirty white-livered, yellow-b e 1 1 i e d skunk that did it, I would make him sorry that he was ever born I feel sure that I know who it was, and I only wish that could prove my suspicions. wonder what the Inhuman beast would feel like if he -could see one of those dogs die, there have been several dogs in that vicin ity in the last few months that have died in this horrible man ner, somewhere between the Claud Fitzhugh and Dr. Truax places in Langell valley I hope that the dirty skunk reads this, and then will have the nerve to let me know who he is. HARRY R. BOYD. Henry Schroeder Dias at Home on Fulton Street Henry B. Schroeder, 88, for the past three years a resident of Klamath Falls, died Monday at his home, 1504 Fulton street. Mr. Schroeder suffered a stroke two weeks ago and failed to re cover from his Illness. Mr. Schroeder was born in Chicago, 111., September 10, 1874. For many years he made his home in Chicago where he was a stationary engineer, leav ing that city in 191 1 for Dupree, S. D., where he took up a home stead and remained there until moving to Klamath Falls in 1938 Since coming here he has served as janitor of Fremont school. The Schroeders were married May 1, 1897, Mrs. Schroeder the former Elizabeth Anderson. They raised two nephews and a niece, Grant Hustis, now of Reno, Nev., Charles Tatge of Sacramento, and Mrs. Peter H. (Grace) Rozen dal, of this city. Funeral services will be held Saturday from Ward's, with the Rev. Victor Phillips of the First Methodist church officiating. A sister, Mrs. Anna Cook of Chi cago, is expected to arrive here Friday, and one of the two neph ews, Charles Tatge, was expected sometime Wednesday from the south. Merrill Private Given Rating CHICAGO, Aug. 13 VP) Partisan politics, a regular en livening feature of previous young democrats' conventions. will be frowned upon at the na tional meeting next week. Homer Mat Adams, national president, announced today. Instead, Adams said in a state ment from national headquarters here, the convention will be ded icated to a study of vital prob lems of national defense, the rea sons for President Roosevelt's declaration of a total emerg ency and youth s role in nation al unity. "Since the overwhelming ma jority of our membership is sub ject to the selective service act, and thousands of our members have been called to the colors," Adams said, "the question of ex tending the selective service act will receive careful scrutiny and full expression of those in at tendance." Delegates from 48 states and the territories will meet in Louis ville, Ky., from Thursday through Saturday, Aug. 21-23. "Although we are a political organization, the official youth organization of the democratic party," Adams said, "in view of the grave conditions of the hour, this convention will be devoted to national defense and a re- dedication of the patriotic policy of the organization. Aa such we expect the convention to be de void of partisan politics." The keynote address will be delivered Thursday night by 32-year-old Rep. Lyndon Johnson of Texas, who recently was de feated for U. S. senator by Gov ernor Lee O Daniel. Adams said Vice President Wallace, Price Administrator Leon Henderson and Adolph Berle, state department foreign relations expert, had been in' vited to speak and that their ac ceptance hinged on the pressure of business in Washington.

Exactly what It means, nobody knows. Republicans Imvc pushed democrats out in somo instances, Dcniocrnts have edgo over old republican mayors in a few others. Great bulk of the changes, however, havo been In non-purtisun contests (80 per cent of American municipal elections now are non-partisan.) Many good local administrations of long re-election stundlug, have simply been swept out. ine ion or incumbents is sup posed to have mounted into the hundreds, according to the tech nicians who handlo such matters as a business, but oven they have no complete list. Outstanding ot course have been tho over turns in St. Louis, Minneapolis, Duluth, Peoria, Jacksonville, Miami and such large cities, but the fatalities have been heavier down in tho smaller towns, such spots as Chillicothe, Illinois, where few national seers follow the vote. 0 0 0 UNREST No common issue Is evident, No national issues were at stake anywhere. In one place, the cause was a police scandul, an other tho Involvement of an old regime In a Mate gubernatorial contest, in still others like Jack sonvllle and Miami, popular old figures were restored. In half the known places no good rea son was apparent. One common national deduc tion, however. Is safe. A large number of people are unsatis fied, politically restless, seem willing to try something new in place of what they have In way of municipal administration Whether this is the initial symp toms of a trend, or stray mani festations of the exciting back wash ot war, cannot be guessed yet. But It Is there. It exists. Con gressmen can feel the draft on the backs of their necks. o o NEAR EAST The British are getting ready for a winter drive against the nazis and Italians in the Near East, as the latter have lately noted. Most of our lend-lease aid to Britain has recently ar rived at the Suez rather than in Britain. The British clearly are preparing to blast their enemies out of Libya. OOO BUYING TROUBLE The army and navy are go ing at their buying with the same old avidity which caused the quartermaster general to amass huge stocks of aluminum pitchers at a time OPM needed aluminum for airplanes. But now the consequences are being avoided, at least partly. Both army and navy, for ex ample, planned an order freez- TODAY and THURSDAY TERRIFIC! UNFORGETTABLE!

Tho freezing would, however, have caused a domestic shortago in paint brushes. Visions of union painters marching on Washing ton were raised by this proposal OI'Ms Donald Nelson persuaded the army and nnvy to try sub stitutes. Again the navy decided It needed typewriter ribbons. An order wos Issued to buy an enormous stock which might huve losted five years at the present rate of stenographic wear and tear in the navy. But the correspondence of tha nation would have suffered. Again Mr. Nelson persuaded the admirals to reduce their buying to im mediate needs. o o o NORWEGIAN SHIPS Little heralded In this war. the great active part of the free Norwegian government. There are today possibly more Norwegian ships than British operating in the combat zono. The Norwegians had 530 ships, about 400 of which are being used by the British in home service. The free Norwegian govern ment in London gets no money for their service, but supports Itself by overrating the remain ing 130 of its vessels. Its au thorities believe more Norweg ian than British sailors are dally working through the most dang erous sca-wnr area. o CREDIT LINE Lyrical Is an article In an official agriculture department magazine "Agriculture In the Americas" for August about tha beauties of Colombia "El Dor ado" that country Is called.

James Ray, 49, Elk City, Ore., responded. An unidentified youth reached the girl, Helen Limbo, 17, first, and hauled her to safely. Then It was noticed Ray had disappeared. His body was found a half hour later, but resuscitation efforts failed. PORTLAND, Aug 13 P) Col. Joseph L.
