Sutter, SI, transient worker and recently employed in Klamath county as a turkey picker, died in Lumberman's hospital, Dorris, late Thursday afternoon from injuries received Wednesday night when his car was struck by a machine said to have been driven by Gerald Whitlatch, 32, Klamath Falls, Officers said Suiter was trav- - eling south when his car devel oped engine trouble 17 miles south of Dorris on Deer mown tain. lie stopped the car and was checking the motor when a truck driver stopped to as sist him, A third machine came came along and struck the Sut ter car, fatally injuring Sutter and causing minor hurts to Wal ter W.

Inductees will have an opportunity to choose which service they prefer, al though their choice will not necessarily be controlling. The services will be empow ered to make special draft calls to meet their needs for men with special skills. This . will not mean drafting of skilled men with occupational deferment, be fore expiration of their deter ments. . , The 40-hour work week law, in McNutt's opinion," does not have anything to do with the hours of work," because it does not limit the working time of employes but merely requires payment of time-and-one-half compensation for work above 40 hours.

If you do, you know how angry it makes you when some person who shares your line insists on us ing it for half an hour at a stretch. And all the time you're dying to get hold of it and have a nice, long visit your self, with some friend. Today, wherever possible, the Telephone Company jealously guards, from the knowledge of all subscribers, the identities of the other folks who share their lines. Thus they probably pre vent much mayhem. Now it isn't as if anyone could get a private telephone line just by asking and paying for it. Sharing is compulsory. But you'll note that the word is "sharing." Nothing can com pletely excuse the selfishness of those who needlessely occupy the phone over long periods of time, to the great inconveni-, ence of others on the same wire. The telephone lines are crowded with urgency. Don't use the telephone a minute long er than you can help. The phone, in these days, is a valued convenience. It is not emphat ically not a mere channel for communication for passing the time away, in conversational chit-chat. Next week Mr. Whitlock of the Earl Whitlock Funeral Home will comment on Christ mas 1942. HIS Til EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Pago One) and there li reported to have been little drifting so that the Germans can still use their tanks. Everything depends on the power the Russians have avail able for their winter operations. TJITLER Is going harder after the Dutch, and is said today to have demanded 250,000 Dutchmen for the German army. He is reported to be demand ing from Petain a French army capable of "insuring the safety (for Hitlert'of France and her colonial empire," along with 400.000 French workers for labor in Germany. Whether he can make efficient soldiers out of embittered and unwilling Dutchmen, French men, etc., remains to be seem. but he is trying. That offers a sidelight on his need for manpower. SCOUTIHIN BE EXTENDED Boy Scout work in the Modoc area, which embraces Klamatli, Jefferson, Deschutes, Lake coun ties in Oregon and a part of Siskiyou and all of Modoc in California, will be extended, ac cording to the 1943 program which was outlined at an execu tive board meeting Monday at noon: The program will be ' in creased as a purposeful war program. Members of the board cited three reasons for this ex tension. First, because it is an educative program which pre pares boys for active service participation. Second, because of the intrusion of the heavy work program on the part of parents, it is necessary for organizations like the Boy Scout program to enter the field to supply such activity." Third, the fact that the transient ele ment has invaded virtually all towns on the west coast, the Boy Scout program is necessary in the lives of these young men. Lamott Attends The annual meeting of the Modoc area council will be held January 10 at the Willard hotel. New officers wil be elected and an intensive program developed for 1943. Robert H. Lamott, newly named Boy Scout executive, at tended his first board meeting at this time. Lamott arrived here late in November to take over Boy Scout work ia the Mo doc - area, succeeding Dwight Gilchrist, now serving with the U. S.' navy. The Lake county and Alturas districts have already endorsed the proposed program of inten sifying Scout activities, accord ing to Lamott, who met recent ly with officers of these dis tricts. Two Klamath Falls WAVES, who enlisted late this fall, have completed their training at Still water, Okla., and have been as signed to duty, according to word received here. Marguerite Parizek, former employe of the First National bank and one of the first Ore gon WAVES named, left Still water Monday for duty on the east coast. She was graduated with the rank of yeoman, third class. Loretta O'Brien, a former Kesterson Lumber company of fice employe, has completed her work at Stillwater and leaves this week for yeoman's teach ers' school in Georgia, friends have learned. Five All-Americans Get Southern Bids For Blue-Gray Tilt MONTGOMERY, Ala., Dec. 14 (jpj Five of the 33 players named on the Associated Press All-America football squad are on the roster of the southern team for the annual blue-gray game here December 26.

Auburn back. and Louis Sassamon, South Car olina center, were on the secona team, and Bruce Alford, Texas Christian - end. was designated for the third team. The men now controlling Japan are ruthless. They are possessed of a fanatic belief that Japan's domination over all the world it not only possible but attainable, We cannot treat with such men. We can only defeat them. Joseph C. Grew, former MQDOGAREATQ SWITCHING IN -STOCK MARKET RAISES LEVEL Br VICTOR EUBANK NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (?) A little mere tax selling and switch ing in 'today's stock market raised volume to one of the best levels in more than a month without altering the generally ir regular price picture. While individual firm spots were present from the start, many leaders failed to make pro gress and trends remained foggy at the close. Variations were small in most cases although a few wider spreads were in ev idence, Low-quoted issues turned over in sizable blocks and special of ferings of 12.000 shares of twin coach and 6700 Du Pont, both heavily oversubscribed not only bolstered sentiment but helped activity. There were many slow intervals but the day's aggre gate was around 700.000 shares. A year ago dealings were much speedier and the direction was. sharply downward. Wall Street suggested that tax adjustments in the current December so far have been well under those of the like 1941 month. Zenith radio made another peak for the year as six months' net of $2.14 a share was report ed against $1.53 in the like 1941 period. Others in the new high division included Celanese, American Viscose, Industrial Rayon, Johns-Manville, Bohn Aluminum, American Airlines and Union Carbide. Doing fairly well were Beth lehem, Chrysler, Montgomery Ward, International Harvester, Douglas Aircraft, Dow Chemical, Kennccott and U. S. Gypsum. Backward most of the time were U. S.

Reds Batter Ahead Military observers expressed belief, however, that any dead lock would be shortlived. They asserted that as the winter deep ened, increasing German diffi culties more than Russian, the opportunity would come for the red army to deal heavy new blows before the German com mand could extricate its forces now in difficulties between the Don and Volga rivers west of Stalingrad and around Rzhev. The red army now has mass ed artillery along its newly-won lines a n d is battering "enemy concentrations south and west of Stalingrad and keeping up a protective fire northwest of the city while the Russians con solidate their positions. No Signs The Germans, who were caught unprepared a year ago by an unusually severe winter, had better luck this year. The winter has been mild so far, per mitting them to keep their tanks in operation. Although the first snows have fallen, they have left only a thin coat and heavy, clogging drifts have not yet oc curred. There are no signs, however, that the enemy has been able to improve his position between the Don and the Volga since the start of the red army of fensive. ( To New Yorlc Mrs. Robert B.

Result Unctrtaln At least one of 11 enemy dc stroyers were sunk and four to seven others were known to have been hit by American sea and sky sluggers. Navy officers said no doubt hundreds of Jnpa nese were sent to a watery grave as a result of tha action. But whether some of the de stroyers weathered the two-day storm of blows lato last week and reached their beleaguered Solomons outpost with supplies and troops was not stated in the Sunday navy communique which also told of other American at tacks In the southwestern sccno as well as a sky stab in the winter-locked North Pacific. In the Buna area of New Guin ea, too, the Japs were on the re ceiving end as allied forces pour ed a torrent of artillery and mortar shells Into enemy posi tions. Allied headquarters In Australia,' which reported the shelling, said fighting planes bombed and strafed the enemy throughout Sunday and a recon naissance unit shot down two Japanese fighters. One American torpedo boat was lost In the Guadalcanal fighting which began Friday when dive-bombers scored hits on five Japanese destroyers but failed to stop the task force. Na val surface craft swung into the scrap Saturday, the communique said, reporting one destroyer sunk, another fired and probab ly sunk and a third damaged. It did not say heth these three were among the five damaged the previous day or separate ships. , Far to the north, three army medium bombers struck at Kiska island, blasting a grounded and already damaged Japanese ship and bombing the strafing shore installations.

"Through newspapers and by various agencies and with bribe ry and corruption the prlvato utilities have delayed the pub lic power movement," Pierce said in a statement Inserted in the Congressional Record. 'There Is sworn testimony that privato utilities have spent a million dollars within the past ten years to Influence public opinion in the northwest." Pierce said it was President Roosevelt's idea that the big hydroelectric projects on the Columbia river in Washington and Oregon should benefit the people and not private holding companies.
