were approaching the tremend
. oiu production goals set for
them, and that employers and
employes were doing their ut
most to obtain maximum out
put. He said he considered 94 or
95 per cent pretty darned good
and added that it would be im
possible to reach 100 per cent
befofc the end of the year
becaun of all kinds of causes,
little Bid big, the majority un
prevemable. - He said he was going to ask
for a great deal more in the
next few months, indicating
that the goals would be set
higher than they were last Jan
uary. ,
Good Moral
' 'At that time he called for
60,000 planes in 1942 and 125,
000 in 1943, 45,000 tanks this
year and 85,000 next, 20,000
anti-aircraft guns in 1942 and
35,000 next year, 8,000,000 tons
of shipping this year and 10,'
000,000 in 1943. The shipping
totals later were boosted.
Mr. Roosevelt said he found
the finest kind of morale among
the people a willingness to
sacrifice and to accept any
necessary war measures. He
described the war spirit of the
country as whole as very
much alive except in the
nation's capital. .
Contending that the war spirit
here was far less than in the
rest of America, the president
spread the blame Tor this con
ditlon among portions of con'
cress, the press and radio, and
administration officials.
Accused Minority
Seeking to Justify their serv
ice to the war effort, he said,
numerous legislators pry into
.'.matters better left to military
.; experts who know more about
.them. . History shows, he re
marked somewhat resignedly,
that congressmen have been do
ing this since the Revolutionary
war.
He accused a minority of the
press and radio, chiefly com
mentators and columnists, of
disseminating reports not based
on fact and telling the people
; things that don't exist. This
' minority, Tie said, seems to be
unfamiliar with the country,
just as are some congressmen.
. and it thinks in local terms and
' distributes sententious news.
Mr. Roosevelt declined to
mention any names.
. The kind of spirit needed In
Washington, he said, was that
. which he learned about in some
of the agricultural areas. As
he traveled along, he said, he
had heard how the local bank
ers, druggists, newspaper edi
tors and children were going
out into the fields and getting
in the crops to help farmers
unable to obtain labor.
In the war factories them
selves he noted what he termed
amazing numbers of women
workers plying skilled trades.
Plant managers informed him,
he said, that in another year
proDamy nan tne workers
would be women.

Another $400,000
Allocated for
K. F. Airport
The government has allocated
another $400,000 for the Klam
ath Falls airport, it was learned
Friday in a telegram from Con
gressman Walter M. Pierce.
Included in new allocations
also is $230,000 for "Gilchrist,"
which is believed to mean the
Beaver marsh airport south of
Gilchrist in northern Klamath
county.
No details of the purposes for
which the money will be spent

a section, passed in varied form
by the two bodies, providing a
"floor" under farm prices by au
thorizing government loans on
major crops of 90 per cent of
parity, instead of the present 83
per cent.
The conferees agreed that,
where the president found it
necessary to prevent an increase
in the cost of feed for livestock
and poultry,, he could fix the
loan rate on crops used for such
feed at a point between 85 and
90 per cent.
This largely would affect corn
and wheat.
The conferees agreed to' autlv
orize the crop loans for' a period
of two years after the end of the
war. The house had voted to
extend them for three years
after hostilities ended, while the
senate had approved the loans
only, for the war period.
The committee also altered an
amendment offered by Senator
Norris (Ind.-Neb.) and adopted
by the senate, which would have
permitted President Roosevelt to
prevent any increases In utility
or common carrier rates ever
September 19 levels.
Instead, the committee wrote
into the bill a provision requir
ing utilities and common car
riers which desired general rate
increases to give 30 days notice
to the president of such an im
pending request and to agree to
the appearance of the price ad
ministrator as a witness for con
sumers at any rate hearing that
might be held.

AS for the minor administra-
the President, you and I can't
get at them. They are beyond
reach of our wrath and - our
votes. They are appointed, not
elected.
Only FDR can get at them.
He can FIRE them.
"TTHIS writer thinks it was not
only all right for the Prest
dent to take a jaunt around the
country but an excellent idea,
The poisonous atmosphere of
Washington would WARP any
body. The President ought to
get away from It oftener.
Even the secrecy with which
it was carried out is probably all
right in war time. Otherwise
it would have been whoop and
hurrah and hullaballoo from be
ginning to end, with no time for
serious observation of the state
of the country. War is no time
for whoop and hurrah and three-
ring circus tours.
'
TTHE idea that all this secrecy
1 kept news of the President's
trip from enemy - agents and
potential saboteurs is - naive
tommyrot. Anyone but a dumb
bell could have - guessed the
Presldent'r presence' wherever
he went from the elaborate pre
cautions taken.
Enemy agents and saboteurs
aren't dumbbells.
THIS much must be said for
the maligned press: It did
its loyal p&rt to guard the sup
posed secret.

hands in your pockets and
there's seldom anything else
