Klamath . Lumber
Union Supports
Spraguo Protest
The Klamath basin district
council of the Lumber and Saw
mill Workers union (AFL) has
gone on record supporting Gov
ernor Charles A. Sprague's pro
test against priorities which are
"throttling the building indus
try," union officials said Friday.
According to Floyd Shadle,
council secretary, the union is
protesting against a recent sup
ply priorities allocation board
ruling which has barred most
new housing construction unless
it is of defense nature. ' The
union alleges the ruling is "throt
tling the building industry, cur
tailing the demand lor lumber
and thereby throwing many
thousands of mer. and women
out of work in the lumber indus
try."

U. S. Needs 40
Armored Units,
Says Congressman .
By Rice Yahner
WITH ARMY IN THE FIELD,
Nov. 21 (JP) The army needs at
least 40 armored and motorized
divisions "if we are going to par
ticipate in affairs overseas," a
congressman-colonel serving In
the Carolina maneuvers said to
day.
Col. Charles I, Faddis, U. S
representative from Pennsylvan-
ia and a member of the house
military affairs committee, made
the statement in an interview as
orders went out for three such
divisions to rip again into the ad'
vancing first army.
It was the sixth and sched
uled to be the last-day of a field
exercise pitting the IV army
corps against the first army.
There will be another training
battle next week.
"Eighteen months ago I pro
posed that we create 10 armored
divisions like the first and sec
ond in these maneuvers," said
Col. Faddis, temporarily on the
staff of MaJ. Gen. Charles L
Scott, commander of the first ar
mored corps.
"Now we have four, with a
fifth to be formed and a sixth
contemplated. We ought to have
40 mechanized or motorized di
visions if wi are going to partic
iDate in affairs overseas.
"By June we'll be producing
1,000 tanks, more than enough
to equip two divisions, a month,'
Official reports from British
sources estimate the German
army has 30 panzer divisions,
with a greater number of tanks
in each than in the U. 5. dl
visions, but armored force ex
perts here believe the American
tank designs and armor better
than the best abroad.
