Several months ago the coun cil approved a similar lease, but it was never executed by the army. ' Under terms of the new lease, the military commander may permit use of the field by com mercial, private or other non military aircraft as long as such activities does not interfere with' military operations . Policy Decided Councilmen argued at great length about a building permit for a building on Eighth street between Main and Pine streets, which Leo Huls is remodeling for Buck Williams. They finally decided to approve the permit. The question came up when it was claimed Building In spector Harold Franey had au thorized the work to start before the council had approved a per mit. Franey was not- present, being away on a civilian defense mission. Councilman Rollin Cantrall said: "We had better get together and decide on a policy. Some of these buildings are half fin ished before the permits get to us." Councilman Bussman claimed Inspector Franey has violated the building code. "We have a code," he said. "It's the build ing inspector's Job to enforce it." Cemetery Group Named It was brought out, however, that the fire committee had ap proved going ahead after an in vestigation, because work had already- started,- and the council confirmed the committee's ac tion with Bussman voting no. One hour and one minute were consumed in reading the new city -traffic ordinance and 'talk ing about it. It is a traffic code embracing virtually all traffic rules in the city. Mayor Houston appointed a cemetery committee, composed of Councilman Rollin Cantrall as chairman, Oscar Shive, Ed Ostendorf, H. E. Getx and M. C. Adams. . City Attorney J. H. Carnahan submitted an opinion to the ef fect the city can acquire a ceme tery site outside its boundaries. Grew Cautions America in War With Japanese (Continued From Page One) produces enough food for all her inhabitants. I question whether Japan could be starved out, even assuming that the American navy could hold the narrow and dangerous Straits of Tsushima, where the Russian fleet perished in 1905. Japan has her own rice, her own garden agriculture, her own fisheries." Klamath Indians' Checks in Mail Per capita checks for Klam ath Indians were being placed in the mail at Klamath Agency Tuesday.

Willkle attacked what he termed a "half-Ignorant, half patronizing way in which we have grown accustomed to treating muny of the peoples In eastern Europe and Asia." He said leaders of America's allies and potential allies were proud, intelligent men who agreed substantially on a need of "abolishing imperialism, of liberating the peoples of the world, of making freedom a re ality, instead of just a nice word." Tragically Small Referring to the "vital mat ter of our production of war materials," Willkle said: "Here we are, supposedly the biggest industrial nation on earth. But the flow of war ma terials out of this country to some of the nations I visited Is not only small in Itself, but as compared to the immensity of this global war we aro engaged in it is tragically small,' "If I were to tell you how few bombers China has receiv ed from us you simply would not believe me."
