pefense Activity in Second District
A RECENT announcement by Congressman Pierce that
an army depot would be located in the second con
gressional district was released at La Grande. Mr. Pierce
& the time said he did not know just where in the district
the depot would be situated but there have since been
reports that La Grande is considered as a site, while one
published story was that the depot would be placed some
where near the Pendleton-Hermiston area.
It is a matter for consideration of people in this sec
tion of the second congressional district that there has
been a concentration of defense activities in the north
eastern part of the district. The south central and south
western section of the district has gotten comparatively
little, while the northeastern area has been made the site
of an airbase and a huge ammunition dump. Recently
another airbase was located just across the line in Walla
Walla, in the- same general area. Direct defense con
struction in other parts of the district has been confined
largely to CAA airport development.
There is interest m this community in bringing a de
fense activity into the area. 'There has been little senti
ment here for an over-size development such as a can
tonment which promises unpleasant after-effects. What
ia most generally hoped for here is something for which
tljis locality is well suited through its transportation and
communication position, its
proximity to the ocean, etc.
jibs not gone unnoticed Dy tnose working for the welfare
oj this community, such as the chamber of commerce
and city-wide airbase committee.- Aviation development
hs received major attention, and in the adjoining Mal
lon column today there is significant mention of this com
munity as an air-base site m connection with a discussion
of red-tape delays.
The situation here is fundamentally sound, because
Klamath's agriculture and lumbering, bulwarks of the
community's economy, have continued on a most active
basis. Nevertheless, the location of a modest but sustain
iife defense activity in the area would be welcome and no
community would be found more cooperative as a site
for such a development. , A,
aeiense activities, rather than their- concentration in sin
gle areas, would bring this community more definitely
irfto the picture.

I $ Money Well Spent ;
KLAMATH'S Boys' club, on Klamath avenue, has been
performing a most worthwhile service to the youth
ol the community. It provides boys with a place to play
atd loaf, where the atmosphere is wholesome and in
viting. Its establishment two years ago came in answer
W a long-felt need.
t Boys have beetf using the club. Daily attendance runs
to 80 and 90 boys. -
Operation of this club costs from $1000 to $1200 a
year. It is money well spent, and there should be no dif
ffculty in finding sources for continuing support of this
fiie program. -'i

WASHINGTON, March II
Congress is handling the
Morgcnthau tax program as an
Incendiary bomb. It is advanc
ing slowly with black glasses.
and overcoat on backwards,
looking for a sandbox.
On their private pads, ways
and means committeemen have
discovered the total tax on some
corporations would run from 65
to 80 per cent. One senator fig
ures that if General Motors
earned $240,000,000, it would
be lucky to have half of it ($120,
000,000) for dividends, which
would mean a sharp cut in earn
ings distribution.
Most of the taxmaking lee is
lators think the . income rates
proposed are fa "too high to
maintain popular . enthusiasm.
Nor do they like the substitute
ideas of a sales tax or a with
holding tax any better.
This overall dissent is too
widespread to warrant any Dre-
dictions on the final form of
the bill yet.
STOCK TREND
Drooping of the stock market,
in the face of this tax threat,
again raises a fine question of
government publicity emphasis
and public morale. In the last
war, decline of the stock market
would have been considered a
bad sign. Public confidence x-as
supposed to follow the market.
Not so now. Most administra
tion authorities discredit the
stock market as an influence on
public opinion on the ground
that stocks are narrowly held.
That may be, but the govern
ment is also relying on sheer
patriotism, unstimulated bv anv
jre personal interest, to spon
sor enthusiasm for the war effort
in many other ways (crowding
of little business, prices, ration
ing sugar, tires, labor's prior
ities;.
Abandoning the old profit mo
tive tor stimulating of the ut
most national productive energy
ana eninusiasm, the Question
arises as to whether an adequate
lUDsmute nas been provided to
furnish the same full sour. Is
personal Incentive being blunt
ed: is tne maximum drivine
force of the nation being main
tained? . , -
No one here seems worried.
They expect to get the produc
tion Job done better than plan
ned. Yet the cumulative effects
ofl the public mind of the pecul
iar new hope-killing' ways in
which the government, through
roeessiiy, is going, about the
purely non-military asoects of
this war, may be' a subject for
investigation by "Mr. MacLeish.

so high that the staff has been
warned, upon threat of court-
martial, not to talk.
All types of red Utoe. result
ing from conflicting authority
between the air corps and en
gineers, is responsible in some
instances. Projects involved:
Rapid City, Pueblo. Klamath
Falls, Richmond (Va.), Topcka,
Lompoc Maria (CaU, Greenville
(S.C.), Hattiesburg (Kiss.), Fort
Worth, Spokane.
Congress appropriates monev
for the fields and then the army
decides the exact site. This de
cision is generally announced
through senators and representa
tives, in order that they may
get publicity back home.
But politics about the choice
of local land sometimes becomes
involved. Then the air corps
and engineers are supposed to
inspect the site and agree on in
stallations, but agreement has
not been easy.
It has been four months since
the Greenville project was an
nounced, three months since
Lompoc Maria, two since Pueblo,
Rapid City and Richmond yet
work has not started.
In another case, the army
planned a field at Vero Beach,
Florida, but- the navy claimed
this was too near one of its
fields, and forced the army to
move 25 miles south to Ft
Pierce. -

LABOR AND WAR
KLAMATH FALLS, Oru. (To
tho Editor) The lubor situation
at thu Tulo lako s u m p Job
should open tho eyes of the citi
zens of this community to tin:
doplomblo condition existing all
over tho United States. Tho
man belonging to the labor
unions uru patriotic, in most
cases und arc willing to work
and coqperate, but the lubor
leaders such as Joe Willis, who
is in u smull way a goutl ex-
ample ot tho big shots In labor,
give up any of tho advantages
tlicy have gained.
In order to get this war won,
we have to have materials and
we cun not get them as long as
lobor sabotages war industries
with strikes und arguments.
One strike In a vital defense
plant was . called because the
men were not allowed to smoke
on the Job. Such practice as
this will not be tolerated much
longer and if congress docs not
do anything about It the people
will. If labor is not willing to
do Its share in winning this
war. then labor will huvc to be
drafted. This will be Just us fair
as drafting the boys for the
armed services.
Getting back to the Tule lako
Job. the land that this Job will
release for agriculture is badly
needed and should be made
ready If it is humanly possible,
regardless of union agreements
or commitments to the OPM or
anybody else.
The people of the United
States are not going to sit sllll
and see our war efforts made
in vain, Just to kctp a few men

who aro not patriotic or big
enough to put union industry In
to this fight wholeheartedly and
wipe out the 40-hour week and
overtime for the duration.
Sincerely yours.
