Rrommtnl KatloaallT bj - Weit-HollldaT Co., Inc. , v Inform Yourself and Vote REGISTRATION figures for the November 3 general election show total registration in the county about the same as before the May primary. The democrate hold a lead in the county on a 58-42 basis, but republicans have made a slight percentage increase, as they did be fore the May primary. j v.f Registration, however, is only indicative, and what really counts is the vote. In the May primary, there was a dismally low vote throughout Oregon, and Klamath county contributed to that showing. Democrats, despite their registration lead, cast actually fewer votes than republicans in the primary balloting. , The outlook for the coming general election is not much better. There has been little showing of interest, although . in the last few days political activity has picked up. .... . . j Many important political decisions are to be made at the November 3 elections. These include the election of a U. S. senator, a congressman, a governor, state repre sentatives, some county and city officers, a proposed new charter for Klamath Falls, and seven direct legislative measures. . ' ' ... . It is not too late to inform ourselves on candidates and issues, but it soon will be. Those who do becdtne in terested now-are quite certain to vote, and it is important that there be a better participation in the general elec tion than there was in the primary. Cities Favor Anti-Diversion "INHERE has been some discussion locally "regarding the If attitude of the League of Oregon Cities toward the constitutional amendment on the November ballot which would forbid diversion of highway funds for purposes other than highways, streets, and similar matters. : This question seems to have been answered by the League of Oregon Cities whieh, at a September executive meeting, went on record in favor of the measure. Mayor Riley of Portland was appointed to serve on the anti- Hivarsinn, r.nmm'ttee. '-' ' " ; The reason the learns is that it does not in any way affect the use of highway funds for city streets. For some years there has been a controversy in Oregon as to what the cities' , share ) of Wsrhwav funds should be. But the cities have proposed to use their share, whatever purposes, and therefore that principle of "anti-diversion" measure. ..... WOOD PULP-ALKY TO BE TRIED OUT SEATTLE, Oct 23 (Ph Spon- ored by the state planning coun cil, members of the University of Washington faculty are con ducting experiments on the con servation of wood pulp liquors into alcohol for synthetic rub ber production. Dr. J. L. Mc Carthy of the chemical engineer ing faculty is directing the ex perlments, pronounced "promis ing" by Dr. Harry Schrader, or the forestry department. :In a related activity, Dr. Schrader and Prof. Bror Gron- dal have nearly completed de Signs for a portable pulpwood cutter to aid in the, conversion of waste wood into the .form needed for the mills.. - Dr. Schrader said production of alcohol from wood pulp in this area is both feasible aad commercially desirable. Large quantities of scrap wood now left in the forests could be turn ed Into pulp, he said. Pulp, li quors produced by the sulphite process - in local mills, he ex plained, could then be converted into alcohol, Instead of being discarded.

HORSE LOVER A story goes that King George IV lay dying as the results of the Goodwood races were brought to him in 1830. He had instructed postboys to be stationed at in tervals between Goodwood and Windsor Castle-to carry him the results of the race. One of his three entrants, Fleur-de-lis, won. so the king died happy. DEATH VALLEY Death Valley, Calif., is about SO miles long and averages 20 to 25 miles wide, from the crests of the enclosing mountain ranges. News Beh By BmjlMalloh By PAUL MALLON WA SHINGTON, Oct. 23 Everyone agrees the draft act Is Inefficient and the man power situation Is In a muddle. Amazing instances of stupid draftings made by local boards i wiw ww have been ac- jr 5k ! cumulated in llt- , "''ki; tie-noticed con- f f gresstonal hear- ssiW i!' ings. General - I j Marshall told of 'r finding in a 14 f i North Carolina vittl hospital a re- - t? ti cent draftee 48 VAl .years old with UiJ angina. . Paul Mellon An irreplaceable mechanic of six years exper ience in a vital war industry was drafted because he was only recently married, while a mar ried bookkeeper in the same , of fice was left on a job which could be easily filled by a wo man. Every time Draft Director Hershey makes a speech prophe sying that further heavy with drawals of manpower will be made for the army, single men or even married men in defense industries run out and enlist to obtain preferred positions. But the local boards pay less attention apparently to General Hershey's orders. Each has Its own localized problem and acts in its own individual way. It is apparent the draft law does not make sense. Now the Tolan committee of the bouse has come forward with a report recommending that the situation be cured by establishing a new over-all gov ernmental agency, an office of war mobilization. SIMPLER SOLUTION Apparently it wants this man power agency vastly organized on a "regional, district and local office, level," but would leave to it the details of working out the problem.- All It. wants the new board for Is to remove the con tentions between existing agen cies, which it sharply criticizes. From what Mr. Roosevelt said, it appears the. administration will come along next week with a program from, the labor-man agement advisory committee, which works under Manpower- er ,McNutt, who thinks a com pulsory draft is the solution. . These expressions of Mr. Tolan's committee, Mr. Roose velt and Mr. McNutt drew the attention of the country. But, while they were speaking, a small war materials manufac turer from Milwaukee, appeared In some obscurity before the senate labor committee, and sug gested what seems to be a. plain er analysis of the problem and a simpler solution. . .

"Mother donated blood Iwicd to the Red Cross, but it didn't upset her half as much as turning in these old playthings of yours as scrap I ' His point was that this Is a problem of individuals, and no fair or efficient over-all regula tions can remedy it, It was In his factory that the mechanic was drafted, and the bookkeeper left on. VARIED PROBLEM He said further, that he had spent a year hunting a cost ac countant, without whom his business could not be efficiently operated, but as soon . as the man was broken In, he was drafted. The Importance of each, man to this business, varied not alone on his ' job as mechanic, accountant or bookkeeper, but on a basis ot experience. Key men in any department simply could not be replace. His problem also varied with those of other similar manufac turers (steam engines, small boat engines) doing war work in other sections. . . If his business was In New York, for instance, he would have no . difficulty on replace ments. And the larger indus tries in Detroit, he noted, would not miss, any ten men as much as he might miss one. ,.. . NO TWO ALIKE . There are about 650,000 in his. area, he testified, but only 100 000 could be .classified, as a gross workers pool, from which to seek replacements, while New York and Retroit could draw on millions. - His problem is the whole prob lem. His experience shows that any efficient management of manpower must consider the specific need of the individual plant, the individual locality, No two are. alike. Obviously, no regulations can be drawn up in Washington which will .solve all fairly and efficiently. Nor will reorganization, more reor ganization 'and still more' reor ganization of existing- agencies do the job. . ' To get at it, there must be a thorough investigation of each individual case by a competent government agent. " Each draft board must have at its disposal a staff which can ascertain fact. not from ' a complicated ques tionnaire, but by personal in quiry. ' ' BRITISH SOLUTION ' There are vast governmental agencies already flung on a "re gional, district and' local office level" around the country (so cial security, public health, na tional youth administration, ag riculture, with its county agents, many others). On Individual plant problems. there are regional, district and local engineers of the war pro duction board and the office of price administration; who could size up individual manpower problems -.without- additional cost to the taxpayers. . Some congressional testimony suggests this is being done in Britain.' The'' system of district quotas and vore-all national reg ulations is reinforced there by personal investigation of an army man or a branch official of the draft administration. Because Britain does it, does not necessarily mean it is good. But if they can' reduce such a vast- problem Involving several million men into the fair adjust ment' of each; individual prob lem of each man, certainly we can do it. Then, at least, some one will be responsible if absurdities oc cur. Dealer snortages put , new value on used merchandise; Cash In on your "Junk" through a classified ad. Phone 3124.

C. (To the Editor) My object In writing you" this letter Is to endenvor to correct some erroneous state ments which recently have been made In the nows-reports of pa pers published In Oregon about me and my publla activities and senatorial policies. While I did everything I could to keep this coimtr,- out of war, at the same time 1 was in advauce of the president and his adhcrcnti in preparing our own country to defend Itself from ponslblo at tack by aggressor nations and to enable It to enforce a Just and lasting pence in the world should wo ultimately persuc that policy. . The president submitted for the consideration of the congress early In 1940 for the 1041 (July 1. 1040-rJuly 1, 1941) budget of military establishments a pro gram which called for an ap propriation of $853,358,754.' The house of representatives reduced this amount to 5784, 989,094. .The senate commltteo on ap propriations (following my initi ative) increased this budget to $1,500,324,988, which was ap proved by the senate. In conference with the house conferees, whereby the house and senate appropriations were made Identical, tho final appro priation was $1,499,323,322. (The vice president appointed me one of the managers for the senate at the conference). Tho net Increase by the con gress, therefore, over the presi dent's budget was $643,908,308. That incrcasa is now supply ing our combat forces with vi tally needed support. Time ond space does not per mit me to -recite details relative to the introduction and passage by . the congress, nearly three years ago also, ot the two-oceun navy bill and other measures which If not then sponsored in and passed by the congress would have left our country in greater difficulties than It now Is. - Much Information which I pos sess I cannot ; disclose now be cause It would give essential in formation to our enemies. There fore, I must keep still about a number of -enlightening details while ambitious and designing politicians and others misrepre sent me before' my own people. However, I want the people of the Oregon' country' and Alaska to know that today they are more secure in their homes and employments than they were prior to the Inspection of the defenses In this area and Alaska which was -made recently at my initiation by a subcommttcc. of the senate committee for mili tary affairs ot which I am a member. . I want them also to know American combat forces in the entire field of our mill tary operations have not been weakened but on the contrary have .been strengthened. The fundamental defense of this area depends primarily upon land- based fighter planes and not upon naval vessels.' Oregon citizens should know also that as a member of the senate committee on military af fairs, -the seriate committee on appropriations and a member of the subcommittee of' appropri ations for naval affairs, that pos sibly I have, and exercise, as great If not a greater, oppor tunity for close contact '.and In timate 'relationships with the commanding generals and ad mirals of the combat forces of our government than have most other members of the congress and that I have taken time to in spect most military and naval establishments west of the Rocky mountains from Arizona to be yond Dutch Harbor in Alaska. Since I am neither trained in the marshalling of armies nor in the maneuvering of navies, my entire effort,, since being -a sen ator, has been to effect' the rec ommendations of these men who are charged with these tremen dous responsibilities and to sup port the-army and navy .com manders In their Herculeanttask, The fighting men of our nation who are sacrificing, their future welfare and laying down their lives In distant place for the pro tection of their loved ones at home and the preservation of our government must have every support, facility', supply, and h I EVERY SATURDAY HITE i-Mualobr OREGON , HILL BILLIES ICE NO We're cooperating!
