Ration Beard Warns . Tire Requests Here Far Over Quota ' (Continued from Page One) Impose severe responsibilities on ' elidible users. Mrs. Effie Garcelon, board sec- i retary, said that under new rul ' ings, rationed tires must be used : 100 per cent for the purpose :' which made them eligible. For , Instance, a man who gets tires , for transportation to a war in- dustry cannot use them for pleasure driving of any sort. On Thursday, the board re S: (used additional tires to an ap ! plicant who had previously re t ceived recaps but whose car had ' been used by his high school stu- dent son (or pleasure driving. Earlier In the week, a similar ease was bandied in like manner. Capacity Us The board announced that It i Is refusing to allot tires to any user for transportation to indus- tries, etc., who does not show ,- that he Is using the car to capac-' ity. Doubling up on trips to lunv ber mills is now a common thing, ' ' and is required by the board if it grants tires. , "The board officials declared , that not one tire has been alloted - in Klamath county to persons driving to the Japanese recep . tion center o Tule lake for work. :,They said that if they attempted to give tires for this purpose, ! " the entire quota would be im , mediately exhausted. Some applicants, it was ' learned, have actually asked for ; tires so they could drive back and forth on weekends from the ' cantonment construction at Med ; (ord. These were quickly turned : down. ; First call (or tires, under the regulations, go to police, mail ! carriers and firemen. Next come - the essential war industries, ' aucb as logging trucks and (arm i equipment. Following in line are . workers who need transporta tion to war industries, such as mills, railroad shops and iron ' works. Other classifications are , (till farther down the line. People who may turn to bl '. cycles in place of automobiles : were warned that rationing of ' bicycles is imminent, and those ! who plan to get them should get busy. Rationing of bikes was i originally set for July 0, but was r postponed. The local board will j soon know the details on this i program. First August Draft Calls Received Here Notification of the first Aug , ust calls (or both Board 1 and ' Board 2 was received today by ' local selective service head ' quarters. i. The orders require Board 1 , to furnish a group for depart ' ure from here for the Port " land induction station on the ' night of August 8. Board 2 was ordered to send ' a contingent on the night of August 2 and another on August ' 10. Size of all three calls was not revealed. A complete list of ' the men called will be pub ' llshed later, however. SITUAT ON COMPLICATED mm Unreached Muslin -C 1 L . I w Iff I k II 1: ,., J n j BLACK SEA Vc lV 'SV msunviS orianoo.

Rubber Pile Threaiens to Reach 475,000 Pounds Klamath Falls' scrap rubber pile, with a surprise leap, today ha J jumped over its 450,000 pound goal and threatened to reach 475,000 pounds before to nights midnight deadline. R. O. Snodgrass, chairman of the 24-day campaign, said that 456,000 pounds of castoff tires, garden hoses, shoes, swimming suits, girdles, door mats and rubber dollies was concentrated in Klamath oil distributors' yards Thursday night. The total represented a 26,000-pound in crease over Wednesday night's figure when it appeared the goal could not be attained. He said that it now appeared that today's last minute drive would carry the final total to over v 475,000 pounds. Snodgrass said that service stations will accept rubber un til closing time tonight. Rubber may be turned in after today, he said, but must be donated as all purchasing will stop at the deadline. The drive chairman attributed Trial of Nazi Saboteurs Still Veiled in Secrecy (Continued from Page One) by providing that it could come only from General McCoy. ' An official who may have been familiar with prosecution plans prior to the trial, but who declined to permit use of his name, intimated that no more than a score of witnesses would be called. Meanwhile, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover gave a strong im plication that the persons who aided the men after they arrived in this country might be tried on treason charges. Speaking on the radio (NBC) last night. Hoover declared that those who gave them (the eight nazis) aid were traitors. Treason shall not become profitable." Some persons who aided the eight men already have been arrested. Victory Gardener Bombed From Plane Overhead (Continued from Page One) South Sixth street Wednesday afternoon. Looking up, he saw a two-motored airplane overhead and, he said, experienced a real thrill as heconjectured over the incident. Thursday afternoon he dug around gingerly at the place where the metal had fallen, (l- nally locating it. Harold Franey, bomb recon- naisance officer (or civilian de fense, recognized a similarity be tween the object and what is known as an "anti-personnel bomb," and saw that it was treat ed with proper respect while au thoritative identification was sought. Friday afternoon, Colonel Al fred P. Kelly of the Portland airbase released the tension by examining the bomb and pro nouncing it to be a "fish," or weight attached to the end of a wire trailed behind an airplane for use as an aerial. Battle for Russia Is On Thursday's surprising collection to closure of all service stations between noon and 6 p. m. when an intensive door-tcwioor drive was conducted by managers and attendants. The staff of one sta tion alone collected 3071 pounds of scrap ranging from truck tires to bathing caps in a sweep of hotels and business houses. Included among the finds were several ancient solid truck tires which had to be chiseled off rims but yielded large net amounts of pure rubber. Thursday more than a ton of old rubber was salvaged with the collection of a large pile of castoff tires from the bottom of the Klamath River canyon below Keno. Tires were carried and hauled to the highway level by means of rope slings. Among those in the canyon salvage party were Marshall E. Comett, J. H. Morgan, C. E. Newcom, Carl Frei, E. H. Coop er, Kenneth Weber, Ray Brol lier, Harry Coleman, Loyce Mit chell, Robert Fulton and John Schubert.

Airdromes Hit German airdromes in a num ber of northern districts were at tacked in an effort to cripple such operations, the Russians said. One force of Russian planes, striking simultaneously at sev eral airports, was said to have destroyed 30 German bombers and fighters, damaged 27 others, burned a hangar and damaged a warehouse. The Russians said none of their own planes was lost. Shipping Raided The Russian (leet meanwhile raided enemy shipping in the Baltic again, this time carrying its operations to the southern reaches of the sea off the Ger man coast, A naval dispatch said that the sinking of two transports and a tanker, announced in a commun ique last night, was the work of fleet units operating there, far from base. The Baltic (leet air arm also was said to have sunk a patrol boat and set (ire to several other vessels. Every day, an average of 3000 death claims are paid by life in surance companies in the United States.

Two More Sinkings Raises Atlantic Toll to 351 i By Th Associated Press The sinking of two United Na tions vessels, announced today by the navy, raised the unofficial Associated Press tabulation of al lied and neutral cargo vessels sunk In western Atlantic waters since Pearl Harbor to 351. The navy reported tho torpe doing and sinking of a U.

Thero lias been virtual epi demic of door mat lifting from various business establishment around town, Hie latest ouo to be reported being that of a three by six foot rubber mat stolen from tho Mclhiise building Thurs day night.

Another four by thrfo and a hnlf foot (Continued From Page One) tee said they also had approved a lengthy amendment to the bill which would have tho effect of preventing the use of OPA funds to fix any prices on processed agricultural products which did not reflect tho 110 per cent of parity level set by congress as tho point where price control operations could begin on farm commodities. Amendment Tho subcommittee also adopted an amendment by Senator Rus sell (O-Gn.) to prohibit any in crease In the price ceiling of a commodity in a selected area on tho theory that transportation costs had risen, if in fact such costs hud not gone up. The Russell proposal would prohibit use of any of the money to be allocated OPA in puymcnt of the salaries or expenses of any employe who advocated, or dered or attempted to enforce such an Increase OPA declared the increase was necessary to defray rising transportation costs. Gas by RU Much gasoline once carried cost by tanker ships now Is dis patched by rail. Russell called tho increase "en unfair tax" on the rationed states and said any increased costs should bo shared by the nntlon as a whole. Another hurdle reportedly be ing put in Henderson's way was an amendment to prohibit use of any funds to put ceilings on processed agricultural products which did not reflect tho 110 per cent of parity fixed by congress as the lowest point at which control could be applied. The committee has heard com plaints this week from farm or ganizations that in his efforts to curb rising living costs Hender son has ruled that bread, for In stance, docs not fall within the field where congress prescribed the administration's authority. Henderson has made no at tempt to control the price of wheat, since it remains below 110 per cent of porlty, a figure calculated to give farmers a re turn equal to that of a past pe riod, usually 1909-14.

Editorials on News (Continued From Page One) routine announcement of one or more merchant vessels sunk on this sldo of the Atlantic. (Most of these sinkings occurred weeks ago and are Just being given out.) Ai frequently pointed out hero, these western Atlantic sinkings are a part of tho gen eral axis attack on our lines of supply to the allied forces (In cluding ours) on the other sldu of the Atlantic. TTllE situation that has de vcloped in Egypt, where tho outcome of a critically impor tant buttle depends upon rein forcements, highlights sharply tho importance of communica tion nnd supply in warfurc and helps to explain why the "short Inside lines" so often mentioned by tho military experts are of such great valuo. Unfortunately, in this war, the axis has the short inside lines and our side has to take the long way around, That Is one reason why wo find It hard to bring our over whelmingly greater resourcos to bear on the enemy.
