Forest Closure Questions
TWO letters appear on this page today devoted to the
I question of closing the forests to hunters and fisher
men this year as a measure against fire and sabotage. Both
contributors object to such a procedure, doubting its value.
There is evidence in one of the letters of some mis
understanding of the recent declaration on the subject
by the Klamath Spoilsmen's association. , A careful read
ing of this declaration proves clearly tnat tne association
did not ADVOCATE closure. What it did say was that
if constituted authority decides that closure of part or
all forest areas is absolutely necessary to protection of
the forest lands and natural resources, the sportsmen will
gladly accept this verdict and cooperate.
' There is an important distinction here between advo
cacy of closure and willingness to accept closure if it be
comes a necessity. This should be clearly understood
before the association is criticized for a patriotic declar
ation. There is considerable opinion from informed sources
that airtight closure will not serve the purposes of full
protection of the forests... At a meeting this month of
the Keep Oregon Green-committee, State Forester Nels
Rogers commented on this question, to this effect:
J .Closures, if any, will be handled in a reasonable man
ner. A plan will be worked out whereby sportsmen and
others eligible to enter the woods will be given identifica
tion cards which will facilitate the issuance of permits.
I Hence, what appears in prospect at this time is a
system of permits which will make it possible for good
citizens to enter the woods. As the fire season develops,
more drastic measures may be necessary, and if they do
become necessary, saving the forests for the future must
unquestionably be the first consideration. That, in brief,
is the attitude of the Klamath Sportsmen's association.
i The final decision, of course, must rest with the de
fense and forestry officials of the country. Their attitude
is apparently favorable at this time to a program that

ViVASHINGTON, March 18
Australia, whose forces
General MacArtliur has been In
vited to command, has no stand
ing army. Therein lies the ex
planation for such a unique in
vitation. The U. S. would not think of
asking a Britisher to command
its defense of the Pacific coast.
but Australia had to choose
either an American or a Brit
isher, because it never organ
ized a professional peacetime
army and hence has not de
veloped a large professional of
ficer class.
In the World Almanac under
armies, you will not find Aus
tralia listed. Its peacetime force
in January 1939 numbered onlyj
42,895 including technicians.
etc That is natural. While it is
about as large as the United
States, it has about the same
number of inhabitants as New
York City, around 7,000,000.
Australia has had some com
pulsory military training in the
past and early in the war, or
ganized its defense forces, so it
now has a formidable fighting
personnel, without, experienced
top generals. All the Aussics
ugnung wiui tne British in
Libya and Malaya were volun
teers.

Memorial Plans Shaping
PLANS f5jr;a 'memorial for Klamath's war dead, started
in connWtfon'-.with the recent memorial services at
tne high school auditorium, are taking shape slowly- and
in a manner fhat.-airnost ; appropriate project will -meet
puDiic approval.
. J The idea that is developtajr Is for a lasting ' and im
pressive memorial jather than a makeshift signboard or
sometning less wortlty. Qne suggestion, for mstance, is
the ultimate construction of a campanile on the summit
of one of the nearby hills. From this tower, chimes would
sound periodical! throueh each dav.
Something of this kind would be distinctive and & fit
iing memorial tribute to the men of Klamath who give
their lives for their country. . -
American Illusion Hit By
Parrish in Address Here
"Americans are queer people, for only Bremerton has the docks
We are confident that progress
Is, In the nature of things that
we never lose a war that we
never lose anything. Our minds
are conditioned to the "happy
ending,' which is an Illusion."
The words are those of Philip
Parrish, editor of the editorial
page of The Oregonian and guest
speaker at Wednesday night's
AAUW dinner-meeting.
Japan's attack on Pearl Har
bor and her sweep through the
South Seas gave Americans a
salutary shock, Parrish told some
150 AAUW members and guests.
"We went back to the idea of
defense; but now I see signs of
change, evidence of the often
sive spirit rising in the American
people, and the demand to hit
the enemy harder than he hits
us."
This offensive spirit is neces
sary to the defense of the Pa-
cme coast, Parrish feels.. Sup
pose, he said, that the Japanese
had followed north after their
initial attack on Pearl Harbor,
and down the Alaskan coast -to
Puget Sound. The end of this
island line is the most vital spot
in the defense of the west coast,
to handle battleships. This area
must be defended off-shore, not
on the land. We must change
our way of thinking from de
fensive to offensive, in order to
bring about the "happy ending"
we expect, Parrish concluded.
, Music for " the evening was
provided by Mrs. Winnlfred Gil
len, who sang two songs ac
companied by Mrs. Raymond
Soopey; and by a string trio
with Mrs. J. C. O'Neill and Mrs.
George DeWoody Massey play
ing the violin, Mr. Logan play
ing the viola, and Mrs. Georee
Mclntyre accompanying on the
piano.
EVERYBODY'S DOING IT
MICHIGAN CITY. Ind.. UPu-
Despite the fact they can't eet
to sales booths, inmates at In
diana state prison have pur
chased $5400 in defense stamos
and bonds.
J. Edgar Wetzel, secretary to
Warden A. F. Dowd, said one
prisoner invested $500 in bonds.
There are 2585 inmates in the
prison. : j
EXPERIENCED '
The invitation to MacArthur
was logical beyond consideration
of the fame he acquired In the
Philippines. He has had experi
ence with the jungleiesert type
of warfare Australia will need
to resist invasion. A truly sub
stantial number of American
troops have been landed there,
whose officers are old friends.
Furthermore he is our best sol
dier in-any climate.
The wisdom of the Australian
statesmen is attested by the fact
Australian bonds went up $40
the day the appointment was
announced.
REAL INVASION UNLIKELY
The Jap propaganda threats
of Australian invasion suggest
ed the Aussies surrender in the
name strangely enough of
Frovidence. (Where did they
near oi rum7)
Only reaction here was a fear
the Japs would not attempt to
carry out their threat. Australia
is not Malaya or .Java. Five of
its millions live itl the southeast
corner'nearly '2000 miles away
froth; the' 'northern tip. In be
tween is nice desert and jungle
wnete.jne. japs will receive a
hearty welcome from their home
bases, while the Aussies have
railroads to,- -the. factories run
ning back from the front
The great barrier reef runs
down the northeast coast to pre
vent establishment of Jap naval
bases at the geogranhical Doint
where it otherwise would be
most feasible to launch an in
vasion 'lorce. The west coast is
not so protected but is farther
from the factories.
Consequently. - despite current
Jap "gesturing, the former pre
diction still goes. The Japs are
likely to land along the northern
coast, as a defensive move to
prevent operation of Australian
airbases against conquered Jap
territory and sealanes to the
north. A real invasion of Aus
tralia is unlikely.
JOSH SPEAKS DP
The heieht to which th lr
of congress has risen was at
tested when the most ardent of
new dealers, a share-the-wealth-
er , rarmer-labor man, arose on
the floor of the senate and spoke
these following words:
"A storm of indignation Is
rapidly rising in this country.
When it hits Washington in all
its force it will sweep away
every obstacle to our war effort,
and every person high or low
who stands in its way.
"The great majority of or
ganized labor is cooperating
but, "there is a small minority
which has not followed patriotic
policy. This is equally true of
management.
Our government must be
s t r i pp ed immediately of nonessentials."
The speaker was one of the
last from whom such sentiments
might be expected. Senator Josh
Lee of Oklahoma. Congress
seems to mean it this time.
...
PROP TROUBLE
What gets Mr. Lee, presum
ably, is situations like that in
a propeller plant in New Jersey
where the most vital of all our
war necessities encountered
slow-downs due to a jurisdic
tional labor dispute..
With hundreds, if not thous
ands of fighting planes lying
a.ound this country awaiting
propellers, that plant has been
involved in a deep factional row
which has obstructed produc
tion. Before the war, AFL tried
to organize it. An NLRB elec
tion was held.
The independent union Won
1196 to 526. Some of the losing
526 came over and acquiescd in
the majority decision, but Just
enough remained adamant to
keep trouble going. The inde
pendent unit was nevertheless
certified as the bargaining agent
September 5 by NLRB.
But on January 12. a month
after the war started, NLRB
withdrew its decision. AFL men
claimed the independent union
was company dominated, a
charge not made in the first in
stance. A new election is being
sought, despite the promised
jurisdictional truce of national
labor leaders. The Independent
union naturally thinks it won.
thinks the minority is respon
sible for the slow-downs.
Whoever is right, our army
and navy have planes which can
not be flown until they get propellers.

MORE ON HUNTING
AND SABOTEURS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
(ho Editor) This la the first
time I luivo taken part In your
idling wo cuuor'- discussion. 1
would like to give my belief on
uio Inn hunting problem.
An article appeared In one of
tho papers about tho .nnirl.sir.cn
KivhiK up their hunting season

along with -tho hunters, anyone
i' iso, somo with sabotage In
mind, could enter tho woods
True enough. If tho lnmo Indus
trial plants hnvo trouble keeping
out unwanted persons whoi
they have guards, electric
fences, etc., then tho woods
wouldn't stand n chance against
them, hunting season or not. Tho
loyalty of tho American sports
man is abovo question. They
would also outnumbor any sab
oteurs.
Looks to me like we should
bo there in the woods as a pro
tective measure. Hnvo places
lor tne Hunters to camp that arc
predetermined. Strict campflro
regulations, and- inoio wardens
If necessary. Theso wardens
could bo paid from a fund col
lected whon the hunters rcKls
ter. Fishing would bo taken care
of in the same mnnner.
To consume uns and rubber, a
limit could be placed on the num
ber of times you go hunting, of
course. The conditions of tne
woods and the fire hazards gov
erns the hunting season now. A
complete list of precautions
could not bo given in a letter
but could bo worked out. If you
care to publish this letter, we
might all learn something new
on tho subject.
