Ona Year - t.U We Can Help the Heroes THIS ii American Heroes Dy, dedicated to the honor of the men who carry on heroically on our fighting fronts. j There are to be no eeremonlea here. A lot of words may not be said or written in honor of our heroes on this day, for it is a day for action, not words. It is a day for the purchase of war saving bonds which will furnish America's fighting heroes with the sinews of war. If you ask one of these lads which he would rather have, a wordy tribute or a superior piece of equipment, you know what his answer will be. In Klamath county, we have a huge war savings bond quota to reach in July. Indications at present are that we will not make it, unless there is a general increase in the rate of bond buying. It is hoped that Heroes' Day observance will stimulate bond buying here, and help Klamath to reach its quota. ' We can't all be heroes. But each can be a help to a hero in this situation, and that ought to bring a good deal of personal satisfaction. How Do You Like Yourself ? WANT to know what an American is liket The British view, right or wrong, is contained in a statement to RAF cadets headed to New York for training. The statement; made by the British air min istry, eays these things, among others, about a typical American: "He likes to ramble and fight ; "He is curious, generous, violent, talkative, and un reserved. , "He stalks the dollar with the ferocity his ancestors used in gathering redskin scalps. . r "He leaves culture along with child-bearing to his women." ' Whether or not we agree specifically with all of these points, we must admit the British have something when they say that the "American is so many things it is some times hard to understand him." Natural surroundings may have something to do with ft . The air ministry reminded the BAF cadets that an American "lives in a vast and fabulous country where the northeast is like the British isles, the deep southeast like the tropics, the middle west an empire richer than Ger many and the Ukraine put together, Texas very similar to southern Brazil and Uruguay, California and. Southern Oregon like parts of Australia . . ." Faith in Klamath OUTSIDE money has been invested in a new piece of Klamath Falls business property the Safeway store property on Eighth street it is revealed in county clerk's records. The property has also been leased back to the Safeway people. The implications in this transaction, for Klamath peo ple, are definitely indicative of faith in the future of this community by people with "smart money." The Safeway lease, given to the new owners, is for 40 years. U. S. Air Force Claims World's Safety Record WASHINGTON, July 17 VP) The war department reported today that the army air forces have the best safety record of all the world's military air or ganizations, with an accident rata 68 per cent below the army's rate for 1930 and 10 per cent below tha 1930-40 army average. Records show, the department said, that better than 80 per cent of the air force accidents are caused by personnel failure, and especial attention Is being paid to takeoffs and landings in an Intensive campaign to lower the accident rate as the bulk of the accidents involved them. . Secretary of War Stlmson al so made the following announce ments: A battalion of Norwegian sol diers, including citizens of Nor way living in this country and Americans who speak Norwe gian, will be organized at an un set date at Camp Ripley, Minn., to serve with the army's ground forces. The secretary noted that the battalion of Norwegian na tiona would "demonstrate to the Norwegian people all over the world the determination of the United States to restore their government to its rightful sover eignty."

WASHINGTON, July 18 One day last week the farm lobbyists trooped unobserved in to a closed session of a senate appropriations sub-committee. In line they came, representatives of the American farm bureau federation, tha grange, the U. S. live stock group. The news papers did not find out about it. ' Next day a peculiar amend ment loaded with poison ; ar rows for Leon Henderson, ap peared strangely in the annual appropriation bill for the office of price administration which the sub-committee had been hand ling. This amendement said Mr. Henderson shall not fix the price ceiling on farm products or even processed goods, like cotton shirts and leather shoes which does not reflect 110 per cent of parity back to the farmers. Everyone said it was merely a restatement of existing law, but no one bothered to explain why the farm lobbyists felt it necessary to restate such a law in an appropriation bill deal ing with other matters. To the initiated in this peculiar poli tical farm business, however, it was evident that the farm lob byists had set out to break up Mr. Henderson's price policy. a NET RESULT The amendment would cause Henderson to abandon his pres ent program, re-open thousands of price items in the farm and process schedules, and this time follow Agriculture Secretary Wickard's direction to fix much higher prices than now allowed prices which would give the farmer that 110 per cent parity index. The farm lobbyists and their congressional bloc felt justified In playing this and other little tricks on Mr. Henderson, be cause he has not followed the law they wrote for him in the first place. They feel tricked Some months ago they suc ceeded in enacting provisions which they thought would give Agriculture , Secretary Wickard veto power over Henderson and would assure the farmer his 110 per cent. Mr. Roosevelt stop- pea that by ominously informing the world In general (but par ticularly Mr. Wickard) tliat Mr. Wickard worked for him and would be expected to follow his wishes. Henderson never consulted Wickard on anything except wool at the outset and later on fruits and vegetables. Lately, Mr. Wickard has re joined hands with farm lobby ists and is supposed to be work ing on Mr. Roosevelt to get an approval of the pending separate bill granting 100 per cent loans to farms. Mr. Roosevelt's bud get director has approved this, although some authorities sus pect that such a permanent step would put all private trading out of business. a a HENDERSON'S MAD On the other hand and In the other corner, Mr. Henderspn is mad as a hornet. He is particul arly angry at Wickard for hav ing written him the recent let ter forcing him to boost the prices on dried and canned fruits, which he had set to re flect less than 110 per cent par ity. He held an off-the-record SIDE GLANCES cow, ma gv w, MtvKt. lae. t. m. ato. a. t. orr. 7-7 "You'd better watch your boy friend when we start piny, ing postoillce she's the home wrecker type l,f press conference to vent his anger. Some of the words he used were hotter than the Amer ican airmen customarily employ when they go into a dive on a Jap ship. All this back and forth news devolves down into the issue of whether the administration's price program will be allowed to stand. There is some justice In the arguments on both sides. The farmers' goal for years has been 100 per cent parity, and now that the war has brought it in sight, the farm bloc seems greedy in seeking the 1 V per cent. Yet the aver age lm income is much less than the nation's average. Farm labor costs are particular ly doubled and a shortage exists. Futhermore, the administra tion has let labor break tborugh its economic ceiling in some few lines and Is supposed to be about , to increase the whole labor scale In the "Little Steel" test case. But as far as justice to all the people is concerned, it is obvious that a breakdown of the Hend erson effort at this early date would hoist the nation into a dangerous inflationary realm. Prices would be forced up ab normally by either farm or labor concessions and start a destruction of values, the end of which no one can perceive. Only one decision is possible for Mr. Roosevelt if he wants to protect the interests of all. He must stop both the farm and labor blocs. Plywood Lifeboat Production to Start in Portland PORTLAND, Ore.. July 17 (P) Production of a newly-developed plywood lifeboat for the U. S. maritime commission will be started hercs oon, C. E. Gun derson, shipbuilding company executive disclosed Thursday. A contract for 1000 of these boats, which were developed by Gundcraon's firm, was signed in Washington, D. C. yesterday. The boats will be used on Lib erty ships. Previously, all lifeboats for these ships were made of steel. Wood construction will save more than a ton of steel for each boat, Gunderson said. ill TIE L ENROL II T 0 BE LIMITED Klamath Indians.
