STATE FUNDS
TO AID CITY
The city of Klamath Fall 'will
receive $7000 for street work
from state funds this year, ac
cording ' to announcement at
Monday night's council meeting
by City Engineer E. A. Thomas.

spent on streets other than state
highways in the city. The state
directly maintains the highway
streets, such as North Ninth,
South Sixth, Main westward
from Ninth and South Riverside.
Sidewalk Trouble
Mayor John Houston said the
fund is about the same as that
appropriated to the city last
year. It comes from state high
way money.
Engineer Thomas told the
council that sidewalks in some
places In the business district
have sunk and broken up, and
the council asked the police
judge to notify owners of abut
ting property to repair the walks.
Places mentioned In particular
are at Sixth street and Klamath
avenue, on Sixth between Klam
ath and Main street, and Eighth
and Main streets.
The council concluded Its
meeting before 8 p. m. At an in
formal session following the

APPEAL FROM DEATH
SALEM, Nov. 10 (JP) William
E. Wallace, Portland, should die
in the state prison lethal gas
chamber for the murder on Au
gust 8, 1941, of Benjamin H.
Finkell, whom Wallace shot and
killed on a downtown Portland
street, the Oregon supreme court
ruled today In a 4 to 3 decision.
Wallace now is in the Mult
nomah county jail. He must be
resentenced in circuit court, and
then brought here to await his
execution. His only remaining
hope is for the governor to grant
clemency.
Wallace, a "capper" or agent
for a Portland gambling estab
lishment, shot Finkell, who was
sitting in an automobile with
his fiancee, because Finkell ob
jected to Wallace's using pro
fane language in the presence of
the woman.
Wallace's appeal was based on
Circuit Judge Alfred P. Dobson's
refusal to permit Wallace to in
troduce an insanity plea after the
trial opened. The state, in its
opening statement to the jury,
made remarks tending to show
that Wallace was insane. The
defense immediately asked the
court to permit the change to an
Insanity plea, but the court re
fused, a law providing that in
sanity pleas must be made- be
fore the trial opens.
It was because of this law that
the majority opinion, by Justice
Brand, upheld the conviction.
Justices concurring in the de
cision were Bailey, Lusk and
Rossman.
Liquor Rationing
In Oregon Held .
Remote Possibility
' PORTLAND, Nov. 10 (IP)
There is little prospect of liquor
rationing in Oregon.
That was the assurance Mon
day by L. J. Wentworth, chair
man of the liquor commission,
in commenting on the rationing
plan adopted in Washington,
where customers will be limited
to one quart a week. ;
Wentworth said there was no
liquor shortage and advised Ore
: gon residents there was no rea
son to start on a hoarding spree.
L. F. Allen, state liquor ad
ministrator, added that if hoard
ers did start buying heavily or
if Washington residents tried to
stock up in Oregon, some re
strictive measures might be con
sidered. r Soldiers Help

HID CHILD WELFARE
The success of the National
American Legion auxiliary child
welfare program rests with the
unit, according to Mrs. James
Fowler, chairman of Klamath
Unit No. 8.
'This year as never before In
the history of our organization,
child welfare is challenged to as
sume greater responsibilities,"
she said. "It must be our re
sponsibility to see that in this
time of national crisis, when
practically all attention is being
focused on various phases of
war activities, that the funda
mental problems which concern
the child are not overlooked. We
must be ever mindful that ulti
mately national security depends
upon our ability to meet the ma
terial, physical, mental, emotion
al and spiritual needs of our chil
dren.
"Children must be not only
nourished, sheltered and protect
ed, but taught the meaning and
responsibilities of freedom so
they will be strong to carry for
ward a just and lasting peace."
A large percentage of the pro
ceeds derived from the Armis
tice day dance sponsored by the

WASHINGTON. Nov, 10 (IP)
The supreme court held constitu
tional Monday legislation impos
ing a 49-ccnt-per-bushel penalty
on wheat produced and sold in
excess of agricultural adjustment
administration quotas.
Justice Jackson delivered the
opinion on a challenge of the
1941 legislation by a group of
Montgomery county (Ohio) farm
ers. The litigation was consid
ered of far-reaching importance
by the Roosevelt administration.
The legislation, passed by con
gress May 26, 1941, increased the
penalty on the excess over AAA
quotas from 15 to 49 cents per
bushel and prevented the sale or
use on the farm of any wheat
produced until the penalty had
been paid.
This legislation was an amend
ment to the 1938 agricultural
adjustment act which authorized
the secretary of agriculture to
fix quotas restricting the mar
keting of basic farm products.
