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.

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

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

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.

death claims are paid by life in

Questionable Means Serve
Good Cause in This Case
A good cause has been served
by questionable means through
tho activity of patriotic petty
thieves In the city during the
rubber drive ending todny.
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

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.

of these sinkings occurred weeks

Ai frequently pointed out
hero, these western Atlantic
sinkings are a part of tho gen

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

forcements, highlights sharply
tho importance of communica

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
