July 81 and August 1 have been designated as Viotory Quota days for this community. There will be special programs of entertainment throughout the afternoons and evenings of those two days in the business district here, with sales of bonds and stamps stimulated. This will be done in connection with the visit here of the "Victory House" presented to the treasury department by Standard of California. Klamath has done its part throughout the war savings program, and we believe it can be counted upon to come . through for the July quota and the quotas for future months.- The place that war bond buying has in the nation's war economy and its struggle against inflation has been given repeated recognition here. OFFICIALS . of the Klamath Girl Scout organization have announced that Girl Scouts will take a dispro portionate cut in the allotments to be made of the short ened i budgets of the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls. . The recent drive for the izations fell short of the goal. In apportionment of the reduced fund, the Girl Scouts have decided not to take their , full percentage, thus making it possible for the Camp Fire Girls and Boy Scouts to get a somewhat larger proportion of the budget than they would otherwise receive;- " . The Girl Scouts planned their year's finances with the expectation of keeping a full-time executive, but they now plan to drop this office in November in accordance witl reduced finances. The Girl Scouts, who had asked for an increased bud get vf or the coming year, have decided on a course that should be helpful in maintaining a cooperative relation ship between these youth welfare organizations ' : WPA Suspended Here ; . -c ar. ji v WPAjrenl -into .100 per cent suspension, so far as Klamath-' county is concerned, this week with the closing of the sewing room and nursery school, last pro jects1 to 'hang on after sharp curtailment began, some months ago. Only WPA work to be done now will be directly in connection with war projects, such as airports and access roads. Most of this work in Oregon is in the-vicinity of Fort Stevens. 'With the labor supply scarce and lots of work to be done, WPA has no place in the current picture. It was time for its suspension. People who can do enough work to get on WPA. ought to be able to find other jobs now.

News Ox BehinP By RvulMallon WASHINGTON. July 24 It promises were tires, the na tion would ride, but, as it is, the rubber problem is sinking deep er and deeper into the mire of business Competition and pol icies. , No one seems able or willing to take hold of various difficult phases of the problem and ham mer out a satisfactory policy. To cite a typical example, the five big rubber manufacturers trooped into town with an ex hibit of rubber processes, de signed to show that sixty per cent of civilian needs and all mil itary requirements could be sat isfied without much trouble, The exhibit was set up in a hotel parlor and government officials were invited in to see it a week before it was opened. Before most officials got around to it, they read some ad vance stories in one local news paper suggesting that this ex hibit would solve all national problems of tires and gas ration ing. That happened to be a lit tle more then the industry claimed, and it made the govern- mment ductals angry and cri tical in advance. Few even went to the show until the arrangers for the in dustry made it clear they were not responsible for the publicity WPB Director Donald Nelson then came in, made a few notes and went on his way. The oil industry stole a march of five days on the rubber manu facturers, when W. S. Farish, president of Standard Oil of New Jersey, announced his company will produce 200,000 tons of synthetic rubber by the end of next year. However, Franklin Waltmon, former publicity director of the republican national committee, succeeded In anticipating Mr. Farish by assembling a large press conference here a week earlier to promote interest in the Houdry process of one of his new clients, which aparently is oacxed by competitors of Mr. Farish, namely, the Sun Oil com pany and the Standards of New York and California. OFFICIALS SKEPTICAL So it goes in an active com petitive business battle to pro- auce syninetic tires for the na tion, while government officials look on skeptically. They na turally want to justify their policy, continuing rationing. iney and numerous faults with the various proposals, con tending for instance that there is nothing "new" in the rubber show, that the other processes will not produce good tires or will need too much steel for plant construction, or cannot pro duce in time. etc. Meanwhile, Mr. Donald Nel son has thrown the powerful weight of his position against the Gillette bill in congress pro posing to create a single rubber authority, not Mr. Nelson, and to manufacture more rubber from alcohol than Mr. Nelson wants. He practically told con gress that )f he had it to do over again, he might allow' more synthetic production from al cohol but that the change now would upset his calculations. As a result of this, or other congressional d i s s a t isfaction with Mr. Nelson's failure in this one line of production, the cap ital cloakrooms are filled with rumors that he may stay in Lon don on his forthcoming trip, or that he will otherwise be re tired. (Not confirmed by any executive authority). DEAD END Thus all avenues of activity seem to lead into the same dead end street upon which the rub ber problem has been running from the beginning. No one, not even Mr. Roosevelt, seems to have been entirely without fault. In circulation in congressional quarters is a clipping from the New York Times of February 26, 1941, containing the follow ing account of a presidential press conference of the previous day: "The president expressed his belief that the United States was in no danger of running short of rubber, much of which and I W IT'S FAST II , I I LATEST l hts '.., I 'Queen of The I I world 1 A .

"I've noticed you looking in could tell me where eunies from the Netherlands In dies. Much raw rubber has been bought by this country and there is a good sized supply on hand, he said. If pick-up campaign becomes necessary, enough rubber could be obtain ed from old tires and used rub ber to keep going until synthetic rubber plants could be put up." The failure of the government under its managed war econ omy to provide either sufficient, tires or eastern gasoline for necessary civilian work while succeeding in all other produc tion lines is practically the ex clusive subject of civilian con versation in the east where the stricter gas rationing (4 gallons week) went into effect Wed nesday. The state of public opinion in the mid-west is generally ac cepted by congress as the rea son for continued postponement of national, gas rationing. Today it is generally believed here that this project has been shelved definitely until after the elections. Thus, the political concussion is being confined to the east for the present at least. Bonanza The Bonanza-Langell Valley Garden club met Friday, July 17, at the home of Mrs. Ada Sparretorn. "Garden Pests" was the subject discussed and much valuable information was learn ed. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Malcolm Teare in Langell valley, on July 31, at which time flower arrang ing will be the topic of the day. with a report and demonstration by Mrs. Hayden and Mrs. Jack Horton.
