A MASTER plan for community progress should result
A from an effort inaugurated tins week by Mitchell
Tillotson, president of the Klamath county chamber of
'Twhatf has been done by the Klamath chamber high
way committee serves as an excellent example of the
' program Mr. Tillotson now proposes for all committees
of the civic organization, whose activities are of vital
interest to everyone in the Klamath country.
r The highway committee in 1932 adopted a master
program. It set up in written form a schedule of the high
way work it believed was needed for the proper develop
ment of this area. It rated these various projects in the
order of their importance. When the No. 1 project was
completed, it was marked off and another project pro
moted to this place of first importance. Other changes in
the schedule were made in accordance with changing con
ditions. This master program was handed down from
year to year, from one highway committee to another,
and it provided continuity in the whole chamber .of com
merce effort that brought effective results through the
years.
Mr. Tillotson has proposed that all chamber commit
tees develop into written form a similar program. This
will be done this year, and at the end . of the term of the
iftppa -the nrooTams will be handed on to their suc
cessors, for continuous effort and revision to meet chang
ing conditions. This will form a basis of operation of the
chamber of commerce through the years and will pre
serve the value of the experience of succeeding com
mittees. ,
r If there are those who may wonder what the work of
chamber of commerce committees may mean to tnem,
let them scan this- list of the major chamber committees:
wads and highways, legislative, taxation, education, rates
and transportation, industrial development, community
advertising and civic affairs, lumber and timber, land
utilization, membership and forums, agriculture. There is
not a resident of the Klamath basin whose welfare could
not conceivably be affected in some way through at least
one of these activities. Kates, lor instance, aiieci me
prices paid for commodities used by every person in the
community'. J ' -. ; -
v It is, ' therefore, a matter of vital community interest
that a master plan of this nature is to be prepared as a
pattern for future development. Publicity, we presume,
will be given to these plans as they are worked out and
general public support of each soundly devised program
will help to make it successful for the benefit of all of us.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14
Last Sunday a troupe of
government officials went on
the radio. In an arranged pro-
gram, to tell
the country Mr.
Roosevelt's war
production pro
gram was not
meeting his
schedules.
Up to that
time, the offici
al news (except
a few warning
hints) was that
Paul Mallon everything was
fine, in fact running ahead of
icliedule.
From that broadcast, and the
comment since then, it is appar
ent everyone agrees the single
cause of the trouble is the short
age of raw materials (copper,
steel, chromium, tungsten) caus
ing war industries to shut or
slow down.
Now, again, accusing fingers
are beginning to be pointed
round at government officials
and industries supposed to be
responsible. It appears we are
in for another of those periods
of trying to piece blame for our
disappointments.
The usual course followed in
such periods is for everyone in
volved to blame everyone else.
A more or less defenseless goat
without an alibi usually lias
been fired or passed quietly up
into a better job. The war pro
duction board, or whatever its
initials happen to be at the mo
ment, is generally reorganized.
This time, the goat searchers
seem to be after Donald Nelson,
a search not requiring much
effort or ingenuity, as Nelson
is the top man.
NELSON KNEW FIRST
Latest WPB talk suggests he
has slid out to some place in
New York to revise his whole
WPB .setup for another try. He
seems to be at least one jump
ahead of the critics, a head
start he gained because he
knew of the deficiency first.
It must be evident to every
one that what we need this
time is not a goat, or a debate,
but the raw materials. Indul
gence in the usual period of
recrimination and reorganization
will only delay those materials.
Let no one say they cannot
be obtained. Hitler has been
getting along well enough, too
well, without any.
The reasons why this situation
has arisen are varied, but they
will show the way to cures.
Balance between require
ments of materials and the
production program has not
been maintained by the govern
ment. Britain, Russia and China
have been given raw materials
upon demand under lend-lease
without sufficient regard for
what we need to keep. That sit
uation is still going on today
Price ceilings were fixed on
metals to hold the war cost
down, but insufficient consider
ation was given to the effect
this would have on marginal
mines. Mines running on a small
profit margin could not operate
and pay high taxes, became un
dermanned, and war factories
depending on these mines had
to shut down.
The situation in copper was
presented to Nelson by Army
Supply Service Chief General

"Yes, I've written another poem, nml if you'll tfive mo a I
word that rhymes with Sevastopol I'm sure you'll love- 1

Somervell, in four letters before
July 24.
The army and navy were not
able to estimate accurately in
advance the raw materials need
ed for their program. WPB, on
the other hand, failed to dis
tribute what materials we had
on the basis of specific war
needs, but handed -out priority
orders to war producers for
more materials than we had.
Some private business buyers,
who got their priority orders
early, have stocked up too much
on the raw material they need,
thereby depriving perhaps a
more vital war industry with
priorities from obtaining what It
requires.
LATE START
The enforcement steps, to see
that priority regulations were
followed by business, were not
strict. Remember it was not
even a violation of law for any
one to accumulate too much
raw material until last March
27, four months after the war
started.
As in gasoline, first, and now
in fuel oil, government policy
not' only has alldwed hoarding
but has inspired it. You will re
call official threats were made
that there would be gas short
ages long, before rationing went
into effect, so naturally every
one then kept his tank full
around in this part of the coun
try, stocking up as much as pos
sible. Something like that has
happened in industry.
On top of all this, you had
the army and navy trying to
stock up Jn the particular lines
in which they were interested;
civilian industries trying com
petitively to build up secret in
ventories, so they could keep in
business as long as possible; a
divergence of opinion within
WPB as to what projects were
worthy, and between WPB and
Ickes, the army and navy; de
lays caused by internal WPB
politics, such as the confusion
and delay on synthetic rubber
production and inadequate
stock piles of all raw materials
in the first place.
Looking back on it, you may
wonder why no one realized
this jam was inevitable. Well,
nearly everyone appreciated
at least some phases of the situ

ation. Many warnings were pub
lished. For months some WPB
men have been hitting all
around the trouble almost con
tinuously, but no one had what
it took responsibility, percep
tion, initiative to cut through
and avoid it.
That must be done now. The
only disastrous blunder would
be to allow time now to be
taken out for argument as to
whether Nelson was short-sight
ed or who was, or for the whole
sale firings of the responsible
parties.
You can soo from the above
listed causes that practically
everyone connected with the
matter is to blame in one way
or another.
The raw materials must be
obtained, even if the White
House has to sacrifice that tall
elegant iron fence surrounding
it.

Oregonians will have a heavy

OPA office reported Thursday.
Applications for canning sugar
in June alone totaled 7,138,755
pounds enough for 26 quarts of
fruit for each Oregon resident
on the basis of four quarts of
fruit to one pound of sugar.
Approved July applications
are now being counted and ap
pear to be approximately the
same as in June.
