5 PAGE TWO MAUN VOTERS TO ; MALIN Voters of Malta will go to tha polls on Tuesday, February 3 to vote on an amendment to the city charter which will authorize the com mQn council to impose and col lect a tax and to license and regulate all lawful trades, pro fessions, occupations and busi nesses within the city of Malin. "In submitting tlris proposed charter amendment," according to printed information being sent to all voters prior to elec tion day, "the Common Council Is exercising their authority un der the charter of the city and the constitution and laws of the state of Oregon and they wish to present to the voters the reasons for the proposed amend ment. ,. "It Is of course well under stood by everyone that the cost of maintaining city government has greatly increased, and that the income and revenue for the city of Malin has not been ade quate or sufficient to carry on the normal operations and func tions of city government, and no money has been available for city improvements. "The common council has on various occasions desired to im prove the city streets including grading and looking forward to keeping the streets in good re pair. There must be money made available to defray costs of police protection. ... "The fire protection of the city of Malin must be kept at a high rate of efficiency, par ticularly due to the present na tional emergency existing at this time, and it is necessary to provide additional equipment and to keep the present equip ment in proper working order. "There are certain outstand ing warrants of the city which must be paid and there is not sufficient revenue coming into the treasury to take care of the obligations for which the city is responsible. "From time to time it is go ing to be necessary to have legal counsel and money must be on hand for this purpose. "The common council be lieves that the only way the money can be raised for the purposes mentioned would be by amending the charter to per mit passage of an ordinance by the common council for licens ing trades; professions, occupa tions and businesses within the coroorate limits of Malin. "Favorable action by the vot ers of the city will permit and allow the council to pass such an ordinance and will bring about additional revenue and in' come to the city which income and revenue will all be spent for uses and purposes resulting for the best interests of the city of Malin and the residents liv tag within the corporate limits." The information is signed by Mayor A. Kauna, and council. men, Everett Jones, H. Ben Pickett, James Ottoman. Con rad Johnson, Clyde Van Meter and Clinton Williams.

Jan. 6 (UP The federal anti-trust division is seeking action in federal court to enjoin Radio Corporation of America and the National and Columbia Broadcasting chains from alleged monopolization of radio broadcasting, electrical transcriptions and radio talent. Daniel B. Britt, assistant attorney-general in charge of the anti-trust division, filed com plaints against RCA, NBC and CBS in federal district court, al leging "unlawful combination and conspiracy" in violation of j the Sherman anti-trust act. Britt said the complaints would serve as grounds for seek ing separate injunctions, against RCA and NBC from Judge Charles E. Woodward, and against CBS from Judge John P. Barnes, enjoining the defend ants from the alleged monopolis tic practices. Specifically, the complaints sought to restrain all defendants from entering into an exclusive contract with any radio station, from signing any contract for more than two years, and from barring electrical manufacturers "from reasonable access" to their studios for transmission of re cordings. Alleging that the defendants now "suppress competition in all phases" of radio network opera tions, the complaints sought to compel NBC and RCA to aban don either their blue or red net work to a receiver for liquida tion. CBS would be enjoined to turn over to receivers its stock in towns having not more than four stations. In a recent set of rules gov erning CBS and NBC relations with affiliates, the federal com munications commission ordered NBC to abandon either its red or blue network, but the order later was dropped with the ex planation that NBC soon would abandon one network voluntari ly. An NBC and CBS appeal from the other FCC rules is pending in New York federal court. Britt said today's action was entirely independent of the FCC order, being a legal action as dis tinguished from FCC adminis trative regulations.

"American armed forces will operate at many points in the Far East," the chief executive said. "American armed forces will be on all the oceans helping to guard the essential communica tions which are vital to the unit ed nations. On British Isles "American land and air and sea forces will take stations in the British Isles, which consti tute an essential fortress in this world struggle. "American armed forces will help to protect this hemisphere and also bases outside this hem isphere, which could be used for an attack on the Americas." In these terse paragraphs, the president gave a sketchy picture of possible operations of another American expeditionary force and of possible occupation of strategic bases across the seas which otherwise might be used as jumping off places for on slaughts on this hemisphere. Any long range bombing raids on America by ""suicide squad rons of enemy planes from Eu rope or Asia, Mr. Roosevelt pre dicted, will be attempted only in the hope of terrorizing our people and disrupting our mo rale. But our people are not afraid of that, he remarked. He outlined the steps leading up to America's entry into the new world conflict and declared that our own objectives were clean Smashing the militarism imposed by war lords on their enslaved peoples, liberating sub jugated nations, establishing and securing freedom of speech, free dom of religions, freedom from want and freedom from fear everywhere in the world. 'We shall not stop short of these objectives nor shall we be satisfied merely to gain them and then call it a d a y," Mr. Roosevelt asserted. He explained that this time we are determined not only to win the war but also to maintains the security of the peace which will follow." Midway in his address he spoke of a need for attaining overwhelming superiority of armaments. "It was then that he said he had just sent a letter to appropriate governmental de partments and agencies ordering immediate steps: 1. To increase our produc tion rate of airplanes so rapidly that in this year, 1942, we shall produce 60,000 planes, 10,000 more than the goal set a year and a half ago. This includes 45,000 combat planes bombers, dive-bombers, pursuit planes. The rate of Increase will be con tinued, so that next year, 1943, we shall produce 125,000 air planes, including 100,000 combat planes. 2. To Increase our produc tion rate of tanks so rapidly that m this year, 1942, we shall pro duce 45,000 tanks; and to con tinue that increase so that next year, 1943, we shall produce 75, 000 tanks. '3. To increase our production rate of anti-aircraft guns so rap idly that in this year, 1942, we shall produce 20,000 of them; and to continue that increase so that next year, 1943, we shall pro duce 35,000 anti-aircraft guns. 4. To increase our produc tion rate of merchant ships so rapidly that in this year, 1942, we shall build 8,000,000 dead weight tons as compared with a 1941 production of 1,100,000. We shall continue that increase so that next year, 1942, we shall build 10,000,000 tons."
