MILK PRICE, DUALITY BOOST EXPECTED HERE (Continued from Page One) delivered under the new plan has a 14-cent ceiling. 12 Herds Dispersed This will permit the distrib utors to return more money to producers and it is hoped will stop the breaking up and re moval of dairy herds in the Klamath milkshed, a condition that has been viewed with alarm here in recent months, dairymen stated. At the meeting with the OPA official it was reported that in two months 12 herds, have been dispersed and two others cut in half. Three more herds are re ported under process of sale, but it was hoped the one-cent in crease would hold these herds In the Klamath milkshed. High Costs It was stated at the meeting that the ceiling price on butter- fat at many northern California points is 62 cents a pound, and a similar ceiling exists in various places in southern Oregon. At Klamath, the ceiling is 75 cents a pound. Dairymen made representa tions concerning the cost of pro duction, emphasizing -high prices of feed and labor.

He managed to raise an oil covered arm to point to the right. I climbed on the wing and shout ed to Perry but this sharp-eyed pilot already had seen the other man. We taxied to the spot and took aboard "Buddy." 10 Saved rext, Perry taxied several hundred yards to four men in the water. Luckily they were spread out and we managed to get thc-i onto the pontoon one by one. We -ow had seven men aboard. We managed to get two of the stronger meu onto the wings where they spread out on both sides to, distribute - the weight. ' We took aboard three more in the next hour making a total of 10. Lieutenant Perry kept taxi ing the plane toward a destroyer in the distance. Five of the rescued men were too weak to get onto the wing and remained on the pontoon, holding onto the wires. One man af the stern of the pontoon rolled off several times although he retained his hand grip. We rolled him back on the pontoon each time.

Regaining strength, remember, will be a matter of REINFORCE MENT AND SUPPLY, "TODAY'S dispatches report thousands of allied soldiers and Arabs far in the rear of the main battle area laboring to push supplies to the front at top speed. The supply depots on the North African coast are described as "feverishly active." We must remember that the Germans are working Just as feverishly to reinforce and sup ply THEIR front-line fighters. That is a part of the routine process of war. AS to Bizerte and Tunis, re member that whoever is IN SIDE A CIRCLE fighting en emies on the outside has the advantage as long as he has sup plies. Our ox-team pioneers rec ognized that basic fact when they drew their wagons into a circle when attacked by the plains In dians. The Germans In northern Tunisia are on the Inside of the circle. Our job is to cut off their supplies and overwhelm them. "THERE isn't much new from Russia today. Moscow dispatches tell of Ill trained German infantry units, hastily formed from the ranks of technicians, engineers and air force ground crews, led by pupils and teachers from Ger man officer training schools, and thrown into the fighting on the central front. Keep your fingers crossed when reading these reports, which may be colored by propa ganda, but remember that these are the things that will happen when the Germans DO begin to crack. SUPPLY ATTEMPTS (Continued From Page One) gradually expanding and taking in more territory." He said the increasingly dif ficult circumstances In which the Japanese on Guadalcanal find themselves is borpe out by their rather desperate efforts to bring in fresh troops and sup plies. .

OREGON CONSUMER BY ODD MEAT (Continued from Page One) this strange chain of circum stances has cut local meat pro duction to about a quarter of the 1941 last quarter production and stated that tho situntlon here is becoming increasingly serious. Appeal Mad It was pointed out that tho local consuming public, on the basis of government orders, Is entitled to 70 per cent of last year's meat consumption, where as the quotas now permitted lo cal plants cut local supplies from 20 to 30 per cent of last yenr's supply. It was revealed that appeals have been made to the OPA to permit an apportionment of the Klamath Packing company quo ta to tho plants in operation or which ran be operated here at the present time. Quotas for killing In the last quarter of 1942 are based on 70 per cent of the killing quo tas for the last quarter of 1941. According to information sup plied the food section of OPA, from the records of the local meat and milk inspector, the following are the killing records for the last quarter of 1941: Klamath Packing company (now destroyed): Beef, 642 head; hogs, 1521 head; sheep, 134 head; veal, 162 head. Pauley Packing company: beef, 678 head; hogs, 699 head; sheep, 174 head; veal, 200 head. No Answer Yet In writing to OPA, Hender son said: "You will note from this that the destroyed plant killed more than half of our total killings. Since quota of 70 per cent has been allotted, what will happen to the quota of the destroyed Klamath Packing company? . . Unless this is allotted to the Pauley Packing company and the new plant now being built, the meat supply will be par ticularly serious In this area." Henderson was told by the Portland office of OPA to write to Washington. He wrote to Washington 10 days ago but as yet has received no answer. On Friday, telegrams were sent to Senator McNary asking him to give a hand in getting recog nition of the local situation and favorable action. Dr. Calvin Hunt, local meat and milk inspector, said Friday that ordinarily about 3500 pounds of lunch meat (bologna, minced ham, etc.) are con sumed in Klamath Falls daily. Local production of this type of meat has virtually stopped and what is available is being ship ped into the town.
