Army and Slot Machines
SHUT-DOWN of slot machine operations in public places
throughout Oregon has been asked by Governor Char
les A. Sprague, following receipt of a request from Gen
eral John L. DeWitt of the western defense command
: asking elimination of machines operating near army en
' campments. v v
This request follows an army order some time ago to
the effect that houses of prostitution in designated areas
be closed out.
. Responsibility for carrying out these orders rests with
the state and local authorities. The head of the army in
this territory has issued the orders aad requests. Wartime
practices require strict observance.
Back of these orders is an attempt by the army and
the government to safeguard the ' morals and financial
well-being of men in the services. Compliance by the
authorities here should meet with general public approval.
Hamm Appointed
FRANK HAMM'S appointment to the office, of United
States marshal will be generally acclaimed here, where
Mr. Hamm has served many years as police chief under
three city administrations. Chief Hamm has filled a dif
ficult position with tact and good judgment His service
through a number of changes in city administration was
a tribute to his success m the office.
Chief Hamm's appointment is a political landmark be
i cause he hails from the second congressional district and
Klamath county. Not many
out down here. Federal appointments have been going
pretty regularly to downstate communities, principally
Multnomah county. -.v ?::.; -j
'. The leave-taking of Hamm puts an appointment prob
lem before Mayor John Houston. The mayor probably
does not need to be told that it takes an able man to han
dle successfully the police chiefs job. in Klamath Tails.
Wings for War Freight
(Christian Science Monitor)
IT has become a commonplace to say that the United
Nations, over the hump in the battle of production,
now have to win the battle of transport.' Great concern
is naturally expressed over the Inroads U-boats are mak-
. lng on sea-borne transport. But is anything Jike adequate
public or official attention given , to the. possibilities of
t winning the battle of transport by taking to the air? The
tests of Glenn Martin's 70-ton flying boat, the Mars, give
point to this question.
This ship, or the now almost legendary B-19 ex-
' perimental bomber built by Douglas for the army, could
" transport more men to Europe in a month than the Queen
Mary, taking all but the heaviest equipment. Major de
Seversky in his eye-opening book, "Victory Through Air
Power," declares 100 planes could feed England. Actually
: 1,000,000 pounds of freight are being carried by plane
daily right now to various American AEF's and this
amount will be rapidly expanded with new box-cars of
the sky, now coming off the production lines.
. The airway from India has become China's main sup-
" ply line. On paper it has been estimated that fifty cargo
planes could carry more than 1500 trucks operating on
" the Burma Road, but such earth-bound things as moun
tains and lack of gasoline in China makes this doubtful
with the older planes now being used there.
Better planes, lighter materials, more efficient en
gines and fuels are coming fast, however, and it is not
too much to say that both .military and civil, transport
will quickly be revolutionized. The great need is for more
imaginative thinking by public and officials both to use
planes now available and to build air fleets of bigger,
better planes which might win the war before the two
ocean navy can be finished.

wrASHrNGTQN. July 13
Some significant post-war
planning to raise world wage
rates already is being urged in
side the government by Vice
President Wallace's board of eco
nomic warfare, but not without
encountering difficulty.
The Wallace group wants the
state department to run into
some of our war trade contracts
with Latin American nations a
provision which will start raising
some wage levels in those na
tions. It would be a compara
tively simple matter for this gov
ernment to require that certain
labor standards be met in any
goods it purchases from foreign
countries.
Some officials, however, doubt
that this is the time to start
world social reforming. They
want to win the war first and
then they think that they could
look at what is left with a more
objective and experienced view
point
But the Wallace boys believe
it is never too early to start re
forming and are pressing their
views onward.
A decision is likely within a
week or two.
HAITIAN EXPERIMENT
The only very clearly social
experimenting for the post-war
world was done in the Haitian
Development company financing
by the Export-Import bank, and
this was done long before the
war started. The company was
created under government aus
pices for the growing of sisal and
rubber, and has been trying to
boost basic Haitian wage aver
ages of 20 cents a day by offer
ing 25 to 50 per cent more.
Another modest experimental
beginning of Mr. Wallace's plan
for the post-war world is the
Peruvian cotton deal. The way
the deal is being worked out of
fers the first concrete evidence
of how this government will go
about curtailing world farm pro
duction, how much it is likely to
cost, and the difficulties to be
encountered.
Agriculture Secretary Wick
ard signed in April an agreement
with the Peruvian government
whereby two-thirds of its cotton
crop (200,000 bales) will be
bought by this government and
put in storage. This government
is to continue to take the same
amount each year hereafter, at
the annual cost of about $10,-
000,000, the crop to be stored in
Peru.
It was done as a good neighbor
gesture, but the government has
used the action to try out an in
ternational crop curtailment
idea.
We promised to pay the Per
uvians a one-and-a-half per cent
increase in price for every one
per cent their acreage was cur
tailed. The scheme also worked
the other way, proposing to cut
the price an equal amount for
every similar increase in acre
age. No one outside the agriculture
department paid much attention
to the matter until recently.
when the American cotton mar
ket began worrying- about that
surplus.
Senator Bankhead and others
of the cotton bloc then extracted
a promise from Mr. Wallace that

the crop would not be brought
into the United States unless our
own production was unable to
satisfy war requirements. The
post-war difficulty of foreign
agriculture production coming
into competition with our own
was thus encountered at the out
set. As long as cotton senators
exist, that cotton apparently will
have to be sold by this govern
ment to some foreign consumers
in some way whereby it will not
compete with American cotton.
That will be difficult, if not im
possible.
The agriculturists here, how
ever, have not let that prospect
dismay them.
The Peruvian farm production
system is a Spanish hacienda
approximation of bur own share
cropper condition. The boys here
are already feasting their eyes
hungrily on that subject, al
though it is not mentioned in the
agreement. "
ROSS ADVANTAGE
The Hitler break-through of
the Russian lines caused no great
alarm here, even after he was
able to develop it. .With such fire
power as the Germans possess
the ability to mass insuperable
offensive weapons at a striking
point beyond precedent in all
history Hitler could be expect
ed to break through at any time
on such a long front.
But as such breaks develop,
the issue levels itself down to
two main considerations, wea
pons and fighting spirit, both
about equally important. The
Russians are short on weapons
but even longer than the Ger
mans on fighting spirit.
Consequently, the eyes of
Washington have been focused
with some apprehension but no
despair on the dispatches from
the front.

service Sunday night
They drove to the Klamath
county Infirmary, whero they
picked up Gilbert A. Lion, 50,
and brought htm in to the train
which was to take him to the
Veteran's hospital in Portland,
with Ethol Brown as his at
tendant. ...
Lien was the victim of a
shooting accident about a year
ago In which a part of the bone
In his upper leg was shot away.
Until recently he had been In
Klamath Valley hospital with
his leg In a cast.
Those manning the ambulance
said it was a tough assignment
for a " first, slnco the man was
8 feet 2 Inches tall, weighed
310 pounds including the cast,
and the stretcher hud to be got

Collisions Fatal

You're Right
It Was Colder
If you thought you were cold
Saturday, it wasn't your Imagin
ation. It's right there in the
books, minimum 40 degrees,
coldest July day since 1935.
And Sunday wasn't much bet
ter. The thermometer dropped
to 43 degrees, but at least It had
a clouded sky as an - excuse,
whereas Saturday was perfectly
clear, giving the sun every op
portunity to do iU stuff. Its
lack of cooperation made even
the weather man feel apologetic.
