draft deferment is "entirely a
misconception."
"The lumber industry is def
initely essential to the conduct
of the war program," said Stoll.
"It was so declared under a rul
ing of the war manpower com
mission after consultation with
and approval of the navy depart
ment, department of agriculture,
war department, and other
agencies." ,
He pointed out that lobs in
forestry, logging and lumbering
have been listed to serve as
guides to selective service boards
in connection with the problems
of occupational deferment.
"It is the patriotic duty of all
loggers and lumber workers to
stay on their jobs," said Stoll,
urging elimination of transfers
from- company to company.
Virgil Sexton, research and
statistical official of the employ
ment service, was here with
Stoll for the local meetings.
Stoll said that while there has
been some labor supply problem
in-the Klamath basin; the labor
situation here is in comparatively
good shape. . ;

In addition, the Germans cited

by the invaders for more than

the Germans counter-attacked 11

capture the point, on the shore

While the Russians took the
initiative in the north, tha sit

ever more grave.
A red army bulletin conceded
that German troops racing to

24 hours after breaking through
soviet defenses at Cherkessk, SO
miles to the west. The Russians
said they were greatly outnum
bered. Minerlanye Vody is less than
175 miles from the Caspian sea.
At mid-day, the Russians also
acknowledged that nazi columns
driving toward Novorossisk on
the Black sea had cracked soviet
defenses near Krasnodar, 65
miles from the coast, forcing
the red armies to fall back to a
new line.

Complicating the situation

Fuel Dealers Say
All Waste Material
Being Used Here
(Continued from Pago' One)
selection and that many house
holders are complaining because
the dealers are salvaging mate
rial not saved in normal time for
fuel purposes.
The fuel dealers said they
hava been bending every effort
slnca early Inst spring la use
every bit of waste product from
the sawmills. Three lumber com
panies do not burn any ot their
wast material in a' burner, it
was asserted. Their total output
Is used for their own boilers,
the, local heating plant, and a
local fuel dealer operates two
shifts to use the balance when
It Is available. Another lumber
company uses one shift for its
own use and a fuel dealer takes
car of the second shift.
A major factor In the fuel
supply situation here, it was
brought out, is that the small
Independent operators are out of
the business. There are few of
the wood camps of other year?,
the woodcutters having gone to
high-paying jobs in industries.
This has drastically reduced the
supply of cordwood, and people
who have patronized the small
independents In past years are
now calling for their wood from
the standard operators.
The standard yards, unable
to get cordwood, can offer little
but slabs or blocks this year.
The slabs are 90 per cent pine.
Blockwood production has been
reduced because box factories
ar generally working one shift
only, and the lumber operators
are using more of the logs for
lumber and box material than
ever before.'
The fuel dealers said that the
Japanese relocation center fuel
consumption will not be a fac
tor in the local fuel situation,
because the WRA center will
use wood from places remote
from Klamath Falls and not in
the economic range of the trade
area here.
It was declared that the Jap
center is set up for 100 per cent
coal consumption, but that some
2500 cords will be needed there
for kindling. The Jap center
will use 54,000 tons of coal.
Bids for the wood for kindling
have been asked for, and an.
offer made to supply the wood
from mills outside the Klamath
Falls economic range.
Here, summarized, is the local
fuel situation:
Wood Slabwood about all
that is available. Orders should
be placed this summer, as de
liveries are na.w running far be
hind. Fuel oil Ample supply at
present Rationing is in pros
pect. Coal Ample supply available
now, but those planning to use
this fuel should lay in their sup
piles immediately. Similar ad
vice was given by Secretary of
the Interior, Ickes, solid fuel co
ordinator. Many people, It was reported.
are planning to use a mixture of
coal and Wood this year. Many
furnaces which have, been used
exclusively for wood will burn
coal satisfactorily, it was said.
People who depend upon oil
were advised to lay In a supply
of wood for trashburners and
fireplaces.
The fuel dealers said they
would welcome any legitimate
Investigation of their efforts to
utilize all available wood pro
ducts here. They said that wood
prices have not Increased since
October, 1941, and that ceiling
