(Construction it In progress on irrigation facilities for 22,000 acres for a re location center for 16,000 Japanese evacuees. The work is being financed by the War Relocation Authority.) Reading this note in a WPB release, we were prompted to make further inquiry to determine to what extent the war relocation authority is entering the farming business here on a permanent or semi-permanent basis. We learn that the reclamation bureau and the WRA entered into an agreement some time ago with regard to development of facilities for farming land within the WRA project area, but the local and regional reclamation of fices are now seeking an amendment to that agreement The purpose of the amendment is to open the way for the reclamation bureau to proceed with the construction of irrigation facilities on land which comes under the Modoc unit, to be developed for permanent cultivation as a result of the tunnel and pumping project. The reclamation bureau has found the WRA has no . priorities and is not prepared to proceed with this work. , The WRA has constructed only a few drains in the "inter national settlement" tract which it has farmed this year. The reclamation bureau will develop this and other areas with laterals, drains and ditches, for leasing as a part of the Modoc unit program once the WRA is out. of the picture and the WPB permits the bureau to go ahead. The WRA has farmed only about 2700 acres this year, and does not intend to farm more than 3700 acres, ac- cording to current reports. There is nothing permanent about the WRA program, and once the war is over, it . is expected the evacuees will be moved out. and the land will then be taken over by the reclamation bureau for use according to the original plan. Apparently, the early plan of the WRA to use some 20,000 or 25,000 acres of Klamath basin land is not to go through a condition that will be generally pleasing to the population of this basin. From the start, the public here has taken the attitude that the Japanese evacuees should tie moved out of here as soon as the war is over, and that the WRA program should not be permitted to interfere to any extent with the orderly development of uie reclamation project.

Complaining government au- uionties include none less than 7 WPB's Donald Nelson, Presi' dential Advisor Isadora Lubin, the navy de partment. Ad miral Land and his assist- ants at the mari time commis sion. They did not see how an- other govern- to Paul Mallon ment bureau could do this the war effort. If there was one employer and one group of unionists in this war of production who have stood out above all others, it is Kaiser and his workers in three west coast shipyards. If there are any 40,000 work ers in the country whose contin uous and undistracted attention to their jobs is needed above all the others in a war where the front lines In Africa, Guadalcan al and New Guinea must be sup plied daily across vast seas, it is Jvaiser s 40,000 men. But here comes the national labor relations board actually promoting a labor dispute in those yards. It accepted and or dered hearings on a complaint maae by the CIO, The yards are 100 per cent un ion, au organized under AFL. with a closed shop. Not only that, but they are producing ef ficiently, with such record breaking performances as the building and complete equipping of a ship in eight days. LAND WAS OVER-ENTHUSJASTIC The only question involved is whether the CIO should be al lowed to muscle in on the AFL's war business there. The CIO side of the storv Is that Kaise"r had to droo about 7U0 welders, who were CIO men because they would not join the AFL, and that the remnants of an old independent union of welders, who went on strike out mere a year or so azo. is anti AFL but must work under AFL, an 01 wnicn is no doubt true. The AFL says the weldine and CIO group amounts to no more than 2 per cent of the total num. ber of workers. But if the percentaee was 20. 40 or 80 per cent, there could be more unpatriotic vicious- ness than in starting a labor dis pute that would agitate these successful workers at this time in violation ot tpe labor stabili zation agreement for shipyards. no aoubt this is the tvpe of union organizer Admiral Land nad in mind in New York when he over-enthusiastically said he would like to shoot some. Shoot ing It the usual penalty for trea sonous acta. But )n this cage Ad miral Land would be reauired by the facts to shoot the nation al labor relations board als o, with water pistol at least. v NO BETTER RECORD Of the great new independent thlpbuilders in this war, first to disappear by government action was Higgins in Nw Orleans. He was 100 per cent AFL and the country sang hit praises. B y government direction. .(shortage of metal, they said) he was put out of the shipbuilding business, and now he hat an air plane contract. Mr. Kaiser's troubles with the government seem to be following u similarly peculiar line. Some people scoff at Kaiser's records of ships launched in rec ord-breaking lime. It it true the parts are all pre-fabricated and only assembled, but the assem bly system he has devised could be continuous if pre-fabrication work could keep pace with him. At least, no one has a better rec ord. If anything was needed to fi nally extinguish the national la bor relations board, which hat been dead anyway since the war started, thit should do it, IN THE BACK DOOR Messrs. Bill Green and Phil Murray were called into the White House like a couple of walking military secrets to get the news Interior Secretary Har- 01a lcKes was to be the new la. bor secretary.

BOSTON FIBE HAZARD HELD NHiL BOSTONi Dec. 1 (iP) Only eight days before a flash tira cost the lives of 440 men and women in the Cocoa mi t Grove night club Saturday night, a Boston fire department Inspector examined the premises and pro nounced conditions "good." The Boston committee on pub lic saiety announced the new death toll figure, decreasing its previous total of 484, after check- ing and rechecking the list of dead it has built up since the tragedy. The committee said all but five of the victims had been identified four women and one man and at the tame time placed the number of injured at 173. Condition! Good Inspector Lieutenant Frank J. Llnney told an inquest yester day of visiting the club Novem ber 20. He testified that he had re moved parts of artificial palm trees decorating the club and 'struck a match to them." "You were of the opinion they were not inflammable?" Fire Commissioner William Arthur Rellly asked tho stocky inspector. "They were trcutcd, I'll say. treated to my satisfaction," Lin- ney replied. He added that there were a suuicieni numoer 01 exits." Other witnesses testified to the speed with which the flames raced from one end of tho club to the other, and some testified that four of the six exits were locked. Balloon Barrage Malpractice Suit Dismissal Upheld By High Court SALEM, Dec. 1 () The slate supreme court affirmed today Circuit Judge James W. Craw ford of Multnomah county in his dismissal of a $10,000 malprac tice tuit brought by Mrs. De borah Horn, Portland, against tne National Hospital association Mrs. 'Horn charged she was subjected to great suffering be cause doctors affiliated with the association failed to discover she had gallstones. The court's decision, by Jus tice Brand, held that failure to diagnose the condition was not necessarily responsible for her rr physical condition, and that was doubtful whether she could have submitted to an oper ation even if the trouble had been diagnosed.

Be Tough, Forget Favors And Stick to the Rules, Says East of Gas Ration By THOMAS A. BOYNTON NEW YORK, Dec. 1 W) Gnt ollne or mileage rationing Decomes nationwide today and from Pennsylvania to the oil well regions deep In the heart or Texas, motorists and the gas dealers who serve them will learn lessont and trlckt already mastered In the east and south Eastern drivers would recom mend that rapid adoption of wartime habit a dead halt to Joy-riding, formation of active share-your-ear clubs and the purchase of but tokens it much better than attempting to buck the tide. Bootleg Dabbler! If retail gasoline operators of the Atlantic atatet have any ad vice for their colleagues in the west, it might be summed up In these words: "Be tough, forget lavors' and stick to the rules. We wish we had." Some gas dealers in the At lantic states have dabbled In bootleg gasoline and tires, assist ing friends and customers who begged for and received "under standing, sympathetic service' by accepting their post-dated. homemade or stolen ration cou pons. One way or another, their fingers have been burned. Seems that everything ran along fairly well for a while aft er gasoline rationing began In the Atlantic states. Then cou pons No. 1 started to disappear. Motorists seemed unwilling or unable to hold themselves to the curbed mileage. Prsfiet Roll It was then that thugs entered several ration board offices and made off with hundreds of ra- tion books. Printing presses be gan to roll out thousands of reasonable facsimiles" of the same. A new business was start ed, a racket that prospered for a time. Vast were the numbers of motorists who purchased sup plemental ration books from "Joe" -rfor tlx centt per coupon ana up. Even more frequently, the eastern gasoline dealer fell vic tim to tales of woe from hit friends and customers- Why, they asked, shouldn't he tell them gasoline, accepting cou pons Nos. 3, 4 and 5? Good Btoret . Surely he could restock his storage tanks as these coupons became valid. Those drivers declared that "come cold weather" their cars would go up on jacks (they did not know that when and U the automobiles were 'stored they would be required to surrender their ration books), but Just now "my poor old mother in Vir ginia is sick and needs me," or 1 stand a chance of making or wrecking my business In this trip," and ''man, you've got to j From Tho Klamath Republican Hlamatlt?M From tha lilet 7- 0- yer g 090 ond.lO.ca.aj,,!,!,,; FOR (OLDS' Re'lev enlfflw miucM '"I..,,,,,,, aehu.

Hundreds of thounatuls of gal Ions of gasoline were thus dl pensed. Today Ihere't double trouble. Uncle 8am It Watching Under the rationing aystem gasoline retailer must turn in to his distributor the coupons gathers at he makes his sales, lhes entitle him to receive a equal amount of gns In his tank as the trucks make deliveries, But here aro mon who sold four gallons by accepting coupon: which now or In tho futuro will entitle them to receive only three In return. One quarter of tneir business volume has bean "sold down the river" for empty lavors. Then there aro these bogus and stolen coupons. The more Illegal coupons accepted, the greater the dealers' chances thnt icstocklng of gasoline will bo curtailed. The government is not taking undue advantage of tho dealer who has been duped, but with each four-motored bomber burning 400 gallons of gasoline every flying hour, Uncle Sam is not allowing himsolf to walk In the dark cither. Atlantic states' dealers know now that admission of having accepted post-dated or bogus coupons certainly would not work In their favor. There ore few "offenders" who are willing to risk explanation and, if they don't, scores of them have but one alternative, major distribute ors declare, "the padlock on the front door." This is no lima to replace "hundreds of thous ands of gallons of gasollno, sold py error or sympathy." But the business has had Its lighter moments. For instance: The contract agreed that tho government could buy gasoline irpm a certain distributor nt the rate of 144 cents per gallon, and Secretary Ickes asked that two ceptt per gallon be nipped off me contract price. The distri butor's telephone rang. "Have you seen the new Ickes' order?" came the honeyed voice. "Yes, and wo will meet It." taut tne qisiriDuior. "But, then, how much will tho gas cost us?" tho young lady asKea. "You know, the contract fig. ure, minus two cents." "I know, but how much will that be?" the girl insisted. "Miss, do you really want mo to subtract two from 14 s for you?" "Oh, yea, please." "The answer, and please be lieve me, is 12J."
