Local Navy Recruit
Named for Special
Training Course
TOLEDO, Ohio Edward J.
Gustavus, son of Mr. and Mrs
Henry Fredricks of Klamath
Falls, Ore., has completed his
preliminary training in the Unit
ed States navy and has been as
signed to the naval training
school at Toledo, Ohio, for a 18
week intensive training course,
Lieut. Commander Frank J. Mc
Manamon, commanding officer
of the training school announced
today.
Edward J. Gustavus has been
selected for specialized training
in the yeoman school of this ac
tivity. Tho vocational training
school is maintained by the navy
department at the navy armory
in Toledo for enlisted men who
show special aptitude for this
type of work. There the navy
makes available for selected men
these special advanced courses to
qualify them for advancement in
the field that such men have
chosen.
In the navy, 60 per cent of the
enlisted men are given an oppor
tunity for secondary training
qualifying them as experts in
their field of work. These
courses will prove of lasting val
ue to these men when they re
turn to civilian life.
This man was chosen for ap
pointment to this school due to
his aptitude in this field and his
desire to advance himself.
Before entering the naval
service he attended KUHS as a
senior. He enlisted at Klamath
Falls on September 23, 1941.

Biddle stressed that the iden

the oath of allegiance to the
United States.
Registration will be carried
out at the nation's 76,000 first

National Automobile Dealers as

OPM order requiring that tires
on "frozen" cars be turned over
to OPA.
Carglle said the association
was "shocked beyond expres
sion" by the requirement, which
he said was announced yester
day. He interpreted it as apply
ing to approximately 130,000
new cars to be produced the bal
ance of this month and held in
storage for one year under gov
ernment orders.

(Tho drive southward along

Japanese to have reached Pckan

er, 130 miles from Johorc strait,

Singapore Island.)
Singapore realizes thnt she
has yet to experience moior air
assaults in the London or Chung
king patterns. The Japanese,
however, used ncurly 200 planes

Tuesday. Official reports placed
the casualty toll for the two days
at 67 with correspondingly small

Shortage of Burlap
Hits Local Potato
Growing Industry
(Continued from Pago One)
potatoes in wooden boxes, few
have gone out of the basin In
such containers. Last year, a
considerable shipment of pota
toes In wooden crates was made
from tho Malln district.
In view of the situation In
burlap, cotton and paper. It ap
peared probable that more seri
ous consideration will soon he
given to wooden containers for
Klamath's major agricultural
crop.
Saving Bags
Wider use of second hand bags
appears probable. At Tulelake,
bags marked for No. 2 potatoes
were re-stencilled this week and
packed with No. 1 spuds. This is
unprecedented here.
Fred Rueck, chairman of the
county USDA defense board,
warned farmers of the bag short
age, and urged them to conserve
burlap In every way possible.
"Formers will have to make
every burlap bag last longer,"
he said. "There should be more
careful handling and more re
pairing of damaged bags."
Informed opinion on the gen
eral situation In the potato Indus
try here Is that every Indication,
even Including that In burlap,
points to a strong market
through the remainder of the
shipping season. Prices for No.
1 potatoes arc ranging toward
the $2.50 mark for best potatoes
at this time.
The crop Is not so large as In
1940. when production ran to
about 10,850 carloads, and 9845
carloads were shipped from the
basin. Consumption Is heavy
and some combination grades are
now being shipped from points
south of the state line.

CRATER LAKE Probably
due to the restriction on the sale
of automobile tires, and the fact
that ninny people aro buying de

In spite of this there were only
101 cars and 400 persons checked
Into the park, 238 of this total

Harsh Methods
The Filipino rcslslonro In Ja
pan's "now order" apparently is
manifesting Itself In other covert
and open ways to judge by the
lengthy list of death-penalty
"acts detrimental to the security
of the Japanese armed forces."
(loth the official Tokyo radio
and a copy of the enemy regula
tions obtained by MucArthur In
dicate that Japan, the great Imi
tator, was copying the harsh, re
presslvu methods which the
nails havo applied so unsparing
ly In the occupied countries of
Europe.
There was even provision for
the familiar hostago technique
which the British have dubbed
"tho crime without a name." The
war department reported last
night that the Japanese had
warned all residents of the Is
lands that anyone Injuring or at
tempting to Injuro an enemy sol
dier or civilian would ho shot at
once. If ho cannot be found, 10
hostages will be taken Into cus
tody. Among the things punishable
by death are: "Disturbing the
procc"; violation of military
orders, espionage, concealment
of requisitioned goods, and even
tho circulation of rumors con
cernlng the Japanese forces.
Fleet Escapes
I Another topic of keen Interest
was the feat of Admiral Thomas
i C, Hart In extricating tho entire
I Asiatic fleet Intact from a perl
I lous situation in waters where
the enemy hud an overwhelming
i margin of superiority.
It was learned last night that
1 not only vs the whole combat
' force cruisers, destroyers and
submarines removed safely
' from the untenable base at
1 Cavlte, outside Manila, but also
I tho entire "fleet train." The
. "train" Is the slow-moving col
j lection of supply ships, tankers,
j cargo carriers, tugs, tenders, re
I pair ships and other auxiliaries
i Indispensable to effective fleet

i Hart, It was said, already has
