White Farming This Year FORTUNATELY, It appears there will be no crop dis ruption in the Tule lake basin this year because of the Japanese evacuee camp being constructed there. Farmers in that area are now working their land, and the 1942 crops are going in. It will be at least SO days before the Japanese camp is constructed, and it would probably be twice that long before evacuees could get going on any kind of an agricultural program. That would be too late in the. year. - The time for starting the great production program in the rich south end of the Klamath basin is now, and the white farmers of our area are doing it They will make it count as one of the greatest productive years in the his- tory of our regional agriculture. What will happen in another year may be a different story. Official announcements of the plans for the camp have indicated some 6000 acres "will be developed" for the use of the Japanese to be assembled at the camp. This may affect plans for homesteading some 7500 seres of the Tule lake basin this year. It may change the character of the fanning program m that area. But in the meantime, the watchword for 1942 is all-out eowtnlbTiaiaatavict.iwc. T.M. ata n. a. ht. oar. ' f.

FUNNY BUSINESS "He soys everything would figure out okay if he got a captain's pay 1",-- calitles already. In cities where they are large plane plants, Baltimore, for in stance; on the west coast; Bridgeport, Conn.; Norfolk, (shipbuilding); Wichita, short ages already are being report ed. Needed most are tool design ers, tool makers, machinists, welders. Training programs are going on, but there is also a certain amount of labor pirating. Cases have been discovered of a man ufacturer going to another city and running a blind want-ad for certain types of workers. In September and October. when the crops are comina in. and the conversion of industry to full war-gait will have been fairly well completed, the pinch will begin. GRIEF ASSUAGED The grief of Sidney Hillman (once alter-ego of William Knudsen in war production) at navlng his ego tossed around in the reorganization which left Donald Nelson on top, has now been assuaged. Hlllman's resig nation, placed quietly on Mr. Nelson's desk some weeks ago and never officially reported, has been rejected. He Is to be the Harrv Hon. kins of labor for the president, a special adviser. His duties will be a secret between him and the president. a The president .could not give him the manpower mobilization post he wanted because of oppo sition in both AFL and CIO camps. a DISAGREEABLE QUESTION A spat has developed among the president's advisers over the freezing of wages. His war labor board is still granting Increases in some specific instances, thereby running counter to what obviously is the general policy to hold them down by indirect pressure. But a new grouo is rlslni Inside to advocate that any nec essary wage readjustment be paid in the, form of government bonds, redeemable after the war. This would circumvent the inflation argument, and please Messrs. creen and Murray who are working against any freez ing. All factions know somethinc must be done, but the question is distinctly disagreeable here politically. EMBARRASSING Itjlooks like the. Japs got all tangled up in their radio mo rale planning just before our first bombs hit them. On Tues day they denied as "an infa mous lie" a statement attribut ed to Reuters, British news serv ice, stating they had been bombed. They said Reuters had faked the statement to bolster British morale. That made it doubly embar rassing for them five days later when the infamous lie c true. The way they said it also let us know they did not expect any bombing, did not think it possible. That told us the time was ripe. Funny part of it is, Reuters never carried any such state ment. Could it be that the Japs fell for some elusive bait to tell us what we wanted to know? GITlf FATHERS DISCUSS E NFOiiCEINI There may be some danger in over-interpreting the bomb ing raid on Japan as the await ed opening of our big offensive. Technically, it must be accept ed mainly as an extension of our harassment raiding like the blows levelled at the Mar shall, Wake, Marcus and New Guinea islands. It represents offensive and In spiring action, but the big of fensive drive will require a lot of material to be marshaled at far-away corners of the earth. Generally it is anticipated for next year. ONE THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY SALT LAKE CITY, (TV-Ted Heath wishes this fish story was not true. The 12-year-old youth was fishing from a train bridge when he heard a locomotive whistle. Ted ran, but as the train neared, he leaped IS feet into the water. He finally swam to shore, his leg broken from striking a plank. Co-operating with the Amer ican Red Cross, the American College of Surgeons has urged its members to participate in the first aid program and to Interest other physicians In the new un dertaking. Klamath Falls dogs are con fronted with two months of close confinement, beginning May 1, and city councllmen at last night's meeting made plans for enforcement of the oral nance. The councllmen and Mayor John Houston told Police Chief Frank Hamm to work out all details ahead of time so there will be strict adherence by dog owners to the regulation re quiring them to keep their dogs up in the garden "growing pe riod. Hamm said the police will work closely with th humane society in handling the situs. tlon. Employment of special neip may be necessary. "Local dog owners should be making plans now for keeping up their dogs," said Chief Hamm after the meeting. 'They should arrange pens or other facilities to keepth dogs on their own property. This is th first year th ordinance has been in effect and its require ments should be fully realized by the public." Councilman Andrew H. Buss- man asked what would happen to state-licensed dogs, brought into the city by outsiders, which high break away and run around. "It's up to their owners to see that they do not get away," said City Attorney Dayton Van Vac-tor. Keeping right after th Fi- does, Councilman Rollln Can trail complained that dogs are damaging th cemetery proper ty. He asked Chief Hamm to do something about it Will you authorize us to shoot them?" asked Hamm "If you sea a dog digging In a grave, go ahead and shoot. said Cantrall. But a voice was raised at last in behalf of the canines, when City. Attorney Van Vector at this juncture said he doubted that these circumstances would be legal justification for shoot ing a dog. The council authorized Fire Chief Keith Ambrose to replace 10-year-old tires on the hook and ladder truck, at a cost of a little less than 1300. Rejected was a request from Everett Vanderpool that the council pay a plumbing bill In. curred when he called a plumb er after water from a city man hole backed up in his basement. The councllmen said Vander pool should have called the city department about the matter in stead of a plumber. LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE By Harold Gray NECK BROKEN!

Tokyo Bombing Stirs Tempo of Bond Sales Here Th spirit of free people throughout the world was lifted considerably when news flashed word of the bomb ing of Tokyo and three other major Japanese cities. Klamath citizens dug still further into their pockets and made for the first window where they could buy war bonds, stepping up the tempo of an already brisk sale of the bonds which has particu larly been noted since the fall of Bataan.

From th Klamath Republican AprU 24, 1902 Dispatch from Ashland quotes Hervey Llndley, general man ager of the Pokrgnma raltrond company, then planning a rail road running from the old Shas ta Una to Upper Klamath lake, as follows: "Mr. Llndley has great appre ciation of the possible natural resources of the Klamath basin country.
