Slated Oct. 28
"Popular Suicide," a radio
broadcast, will be heard over
KFJI Wednesday, October 28, at
5:15 p. m., under the sponsorship
of the Klamath county League
of Women Voters in their get-out-to-vote
campaign preceding
election day, November 3.
Mrs. Harlan P. Bosworth, ra
dio chairman for the League,
will introduce the program,
which is similar to the Town
Hall broadcast in form.
The theme of the script is that
the people of the United States
get the kind of government they
deserve, and that laxity and dis
interest in voting may be respon
sible for putting the wrong men
in congress, and keeping them
there.
The broadcast will be present
ed a second time over KFJI on
November 2, at 8:15 p. m the
night before election.

AIRPORT LEASE
TO U.S.
The city council Monday night
approved a lease of the airport
to the United States army from
July 1, 1942 to June 30, 1943,
with the army having the right
of renewing the lease at the end
of that period.
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.

her own garden agriculture, her

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

not believe me."

Accompanying Its version of

months from August 25 to Octo

time the loss of 17 Japanese war
ships and transports.
The summary said 22 Ameri

been sunk in that period a total
of 28, including the action north
of the Santa Cruz islands. In
cluded in the list was the air

frenzied drive to crack the allied
front In the southwost Pacific.
Wasp Lost
Loss of the 14,700 ton. $20,
737,000 Wasp on September 15
was disclosed by the navy last
night shortly before It was an
nounced thot a full scale attack
was roaring around tho Ameri
can defenders of Guadalcanal by
land, sea and air.
Generully, Knox said, the Pa
cific situation "Is about tho same
as before, a darn tough, stiff
fight."
Capt. Forrest P. Shorman,
commander of the Wasp, dis
closed at Pearl Harbor last night
that the carrier was making a
turn when hit and If the torpo
docs had been fired a few min
utes later they would have
missed. As It was, the first
three hit near the bow and tho
fourth went wild.
The battle now in progress al
ready has resulted In severe dam
age to another of the United
State's four known remaining
carriers, the sinking of the de
stroyer Porter, and lessor dam
age to other ships.
But tho fighting, which as
sumed major proportions Sun
day after a series of tank, artil
lery and aerial attacks on Guad
alcanal, has not all been one
sided. The Japanese have suffered
damage to two carriers, two
heavy cruisers and one light
cruiser since Sunday, Twenty
two of their planes have been
knocked out of the skies, Includ
ing 17 fighters and five bombers,
Yanks Hold
To add to Sunday's day-long
Inferno, enemy dive bombers
screamed down on the American-held
airfield, inflicting mi
nor damage. Five of the bom
bers were shot out of a flight of
about 18 and Grumman "Wild
cats" wero reported to have ac
counted for the 17 fighters.
