townsmen tried to tore the
door.
John Chase, a tormer com
mander of the Veterans of For
eign Wars, was reportedly grab
bed by Witnesses and pulled in
side the building, where he was
allegedly beaten and then eject
ed. ' Chase, Walter Tatlow, with a
broken rib, and Lowell John
on, whose legs were cut, were
- among local men who were-cas-ualties
of the struggle. Nothing
serious was reported.
The center of activity then
moved to the front of the build-
ing. A huge crowd milled
bout the outside, and hundreds
,,of people were within.
A few women filed from the
building carrying pamphlets and
phonograph records. These were
seized and thrown into a pile
in the street, which was set
'afire.
Stench Bombs Hurled
Huge banners were torn from
the front of the building and
thrown on the fire.
Windows along the Ninth
street side of the structure were
broken, and literature seized
from board counters which had
been built inside.
Stench bombs were hurled
through broken windows into
the garage building, and the
crowd inside moved to one end
of the front room.
By that time, city police and
police reserves had arrived in
force.
Police Chief Earl Heuvel said
that he went inside the building,
and in an effort to drive back
the rioters for protection of wo
men and children, fired one tear

WtALTWIttLlOWn
Ants and Aphids
By EARL WHITLOCK
Probably you have noticed,
in your garden a close connec
tion between ants and aphids,
wnen the aph
ids are thick on
your roses, the
ants are sure to
be present, too.
I have always t
accepted the old
theory that the
- aphids are the
ants' cows;
carried up the
flower stems to
pasture every
morning, and I have presumed,
lugged down at night and put
c k Dea somewhere, and milked
in the meanwhile.
But I find this is only par-
xiauy true. Tne aphid Is a
source of food to the ant, all
right. The sweet the aphids ex
ude is, chemically, about the
purest form of sugar known.
And the ants love it. So much
to that, If any aphid is not de
livering his quota of It, an ant
will actually put hi s arms
around the aphid and squeeze
him until he does in a big way.
But the aphids are put up in
your tendercst rose buddings
not by the ant, but by their
mother, who lays her eggs
there. Now the great enemy of
the aphid is the larva of the
good little lady bug that ex
terminator of so many insect
pests. Were there no ants about,
the larva would promptly climb
up your rose bush and fill him
self with a mess of aphids. But
when ants are present, they
guard their sugar supply as you
would guard yours and they
pick off that lady-bug larva
while he's on his way up to
breakfast.
So that's why you can con
trol aphids in your garden by
getting rid of the ants there. I
knew the fact but not the why
of it. Maybe you-didn't, either.
Next Monday Mr. Whltlock
of the Earl Whitlock Funeral
Home will comment on A Pro
tective Policy.
lawless methods are Hitler meth
ods. Still more people moved back,
and Cook took over, continuing
his exhortations along with pa
triotic remarks and Introduc
tions of service men.
Police reserves formed a cor
don and posted men at the near
by corners to keep traffic from
the area. Slowly, the situation
began to clear around the con
vention hall. Inside, the sessions
had taken up, with hundreds of
men, women and children jam
med Into the steaming back
room.
Literature Burned
Meanwhile, many Witness au
tomobiles were overturned by
irate citizens, with grownups
and children participating. This
occurred on streets near the con
vention hall. In a parking lot
back of tha Witness cafeteria at
Eleventh and Main streets, and
In other parts of town. The
cars were identified by words
painted on them advertising
Knorr's Cleveland speech. One
msn said he believed 300 ears
were overturned.
A small crowd went to East
Main and Holly streets, where
Frank Lowell, owner of a build
ing occupied by the Witness
headquarters, had ordered them
to vacate. Literature and other
articles were removed from that
room and burned in the street.
There was talk of more trou
ble when the Witnesses left
their convention building, but
none developed, and the situ
ation quieted down when it was
reported the Witnesses would
not attempt to hold a night
meeting.
Police Notified
There was talk of beatings-up
when the Witnesses left town,
but nothing of , this kind oc
curred, according to police.
"Strong back" squads of Wit
nesses went about righting the
overturned automobiles.
It was reported that James
Davis, Witness attorney and a
principal speaker at the conven
tion, had called Governor Spra
gue informing him of the riot
ing and asking protection. The
governor called the sheriffs of
fice here, and state and city
police were notified. -
The effort to cut the tele
phone cable was successful in
preventing Knorr's speech from
reaching the convention, hall. It
was reported. Davis read the
speech to the jam-packed multi
tude. The W o m n's Ambulance
corns, uniformed, was nn hanri
throughout the rioting, and car
ried injured 10 me nospiuua in
their white Salvation Army am
bulance. Several amusing incidents oc
curred. .
Two townsmen battled each
other behind the building, each
thinking the other a Witness, un
til some one stopped the fight.
Baby Rumor.
- Toward the close of the wild
afternoon, a woman in the con
vention hall " was seized with
labor pains. It was rumored a
baby had been born inside, but
this was disproved when the
woman was brought out and
taken to a hospital by the am
bulance, corps. The baby- was
born there. The. woman had a
couple of other children with
her, and the ambulance corps
for a time was trying to find out
what to do with these youngsters.
Background of the rioting of
Sunday was built through Jehov
ah Witness . activities here cov
ering several weeks. Some time
ago the city council , passed an
ordinance licensing street vend
ors, aimed at the Witnesses, but
the ordinance does not become
effective until September 28
During the convention, pam
phleteering by the Witnesses
reached a new high.' On Satur
day, Witnesses were on. every
corner, and early Sunday morn
ing they rang door bells in the
residence district.
Many local people regarded
the Witnesses, who refuse on
religious grounds to salute the
flag, as un-American. They have
been accused of Nazi propagand
izing, of working against the
war efforts and war savings cam
paigns. Under these conditions, feeling
mounted rapidly toward Sun
day's wild climax.
No Arrests
Police made no arrests en
either side.
Although many individuals
participated, and there were in
dications word had been passed
around to be on hand for the
trouble, it was widely declared
that no organization had par
ticipated as such.
Members of veterans organi
zations and a fraternal group
were observed engaged in the
demonstration.
J. C. Williamson of the Eagles
lodge said that the Eagles pro
vided the stamps and bonds for
the sales booth, which was evi
dently set up as a patriotic ges
ture and "counter irritant." He
said $1037 in stamps and bonds
were sold to citizens who were
"both, mad and patriotic."
The Witness convention was
held simultaneously with con
ventions in other cities. There
were resortedly 1800 people

Spencer, operator o'f a Main
street apparel and linen shop,
on a telegraphic warrant from
San Francisco.
A San Francisco paper Sun
day said that Spencer was at
tempting to raise the S5000 cash
or $10,000 bond required, and
declared he would fight extra
dition. "Tompkins said that If Spen
cer persisted In his stand, of
ficers would go to Oregon early
next week to Institute extradi
tion proceedings," the paper
said.
.' The paper went on to say that,
'Tompkins expressed doubt that
the governor of Oregon would
refuse to extradite Spencer."

Police Chief Earl Heuvel
warmly praised, the police re

connection with the affair.
Heuvel said, his men had re

but had not believed anything
serious would occur on Sunday,
and for that reason did not have

DRIVE EXCEEDS
EXPECTATIONS
The response of Klamath
Falls people to the concentrat
ed "scrap harvest" Saturday
more than exceeded expecta
tions of the committee in
charge, with approximately 180
tons now heaped up at the scrap
depot at South Sixth and Com
mercial streets, according to
rough estimates.
So great was the amount of
metal, rubber, rags and alum
inum placed on curbs by resi
dents of the clly that it wai
found necessary to continue the
collection during the day Sun
day. There are known to be
piles still waiting to be picked
up, and the committee said ar
rangements are being made to
complete, the job.
Credit Given
Those in. charge gave credit
for the success of the drive to
the fine spirit of cooperation
by the public, the Teamsters'
union, the Oregon Women's
Ambulance corps and business
firms who donated use of their
trucks for the purpose.
These . firms were listed as
follows: Home Lumber com
pany, Drake Lumber company,
Swan Lake Moulding company,
Big Basin Lumber company.

Many other trucks were do
nated but could not be used.
This weekend's, scrap harvest.
It was pointed out. ' only the
beginning of Klamath county's
effort to reach a goal of 4000
tons of scrap by the first of the
year. People are urged to con
tinue to bring in all they can
to the depot with the exception
of paper, tin cans and metal
less than one-eighth inch in
thickness from automobiles.
"With the government so bad
ly In need of metal that It is ask
ing for old cannon, cannon balls
and other such objects from
city parks, it behooves all of
us to turn over anything use
able, from that spittoon -in the

and that the aggregate of wages
and salaries paid out had risen
72 per cent.
From January 1, 1941, to May,
1942, unit labor costs had In
creased at the average rate of
1.1 per cent per month.
"Unit labor costs will unques
tionably Increase still further,
even apart from increases In
wage rates, as a consequence of
the loss of skilled workers, In
troduction of less skilled labor
and Inevitable transportation
and other delays."
Control of wages and salaries
"must proceed simultaneously
with control of food cost"'
Senator Thomas (D-Okla.) said
a senate agriculture subcommit
tee would submit the following
amendment to the bill to the
full agricultural committee to
morrow: "Parity prices and comparable
prices for any agricultural com
modities shall be determined as
authorized by existing law, but
also shall Include all farm
labor."
Thomas estimated that rule, If
applied, would make the celling
prices of farm products approx
imately 112 per cent of parity,
as based on the index figures
for the period 1909-1914.
President-Roosevelt is on rec-,
ord as "unalterably opposed to
any change In the present method
of computing parity.
Thomas said the amendment
was proposed by the American

He said the Rusnlans think

Bitter Resistance
The claim was characterized
In London as exaggerated, al
