PAGE TEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON January 8, 194S EXPERIENCE WILL I NEW LEGISLATURE PJkTTT. W. HARVEY. JR. . SALEM. Jan 8 W) The 1943 legislature will have several de cided advantages In dealing with Its many problems--it will be one of the most experienced in many years, it has an opportun ity to.be the most united in years, and will be led by a gov ernor. Earl Snell, former speaKer of the house, who knows his leg islative ropes. Of the 60 house members, 81 are republicans, while 27 of the 30 senators are republicans. This factor, unless the republicans get to scrapping among themselves, should pave the way for unity. The combined strength of the left wingers is so small only four or five out of the 80 leg islatorsthat it scarcely will be heard. -. There will te 37 representa tives and 22 senators with pre vious legislative experience. So, with strong leadership, the conv lng assembly, the 42nd, would have a chance to get its work done quickly and efficiently. ;The speaker of the house will be 37-year-old William M. Mc Allister, Medford attorney,, who was a candidate in 1941 but who lost to Bobert S. Farrell, Jr, now secretary of state. There are two candidates for president of the senate, each claiming victory. They are pretty Dorothy McCullough Lee, Portland attorney, - who has served in six legislatures, and W H. Steiwer, Fossil stockman, with four legislatures to his credit. Th ohnire will be made either at a caucus here Sunday night, or at the opening session Mon day morning. If the election is deadlocked, the inauguration of Governor-elect Snell, set for 2 p. m. Monday in the house cham ber, might be delayed. Another difficulty that might delay the opening of the session is. the question of whether the pro tern legislators, chosen by county courts in the absence of legislators who've gone to war, shall be permitted to serve. This question might not even be brought up, but some legislators : have questioned the legality of the whole business. Among the 60 house members, there are 17 business men, 13 lawyers, 11 farmers, 8 insurance men, 3 labor officials, and two women.' -: In the senate, which consists of SO "; members, there are 8 lawyers, 8 farmers, 3 doctors, 3 insurance men, . 7 businessmen, ' and one woman. 'Dean pf the senate is W. H. Strayer, Baker democrat, with 14 legislators behind him, while H." C. Wheeler, Lane county re publican, is next in line with 9. ; Harvey Wells, Portland repub lican, is dean of the house, hav ing served in 7 legislatures. Next in-line, with 3 legislatures each, are Henry Semon, Klamath falls democrat; Herman Chlndgren, high school News Notes and iiiilifijiiili!; Com ment'itj'!i!!i By ANITA GWYN There are a number of senior boys finishing up this semester's work and making arrangements to drop the' re mainder of the year and enter the armed serv- .

Tomorrow morning Charles Stanfield is scheduled to pull out of this fair city and start on his way to Tennessee to take his place in the business world. As yet there has oeen no in structor employed to take Chuck's" place, so for the com ing week, it is probable that Mr. Loney will arrange his schedule to take on additional classes and a substitute will probably be employed. m m m Forestry classes will be a new course for the coming semester. Last summer about 25 boys were hired for forestry work and it is likely that more will be need ed this coming summer. m. The 4-H club will hold a meet ing Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the high school auditorium. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 VP The famous 19th bombardment group and three Oregonians among its personnel have won more laurels. The war department' disclosed yesterday .in announcing indi vidual decorations to 20 officers and. 23 enlisted men that their outfit the one to which Capt. Colin Kelly belonged has been cited as a unit for the fourth time. The group's planes have de stroyed 350 Japanese planes in the air and about the same num ber on the ground while send ing'" 200 enemy surface ships to the bottom, war department offi cials estimated. Last time the group was cited It was for cover ing the marines' landing on Guadalcanal but the latest cita tion is for "actions, details of which have not - yet been an nounced." First Lieut. Robert H. Rankin, whose mother is Mrs. R. A. Ran kin ' of Eugene, and Technical Sgt Charles C Schierholz, whose father is C. C. Schierholz of Portland,-have been awarded the silver star. Howard Abbey, Japs to The Contrary, Is Still Very Much on the Map The Japs said they had blown him "off the map" but Sergeant Howard D. Abbey of Klamath Falls stayed right on the map and wrote a letter to The Herald and News telling about his ex. periences. "Perhaps you remember read ing a small article in the paper in the latter part of October of a bombing that took place in India -by the Japanese, wrote Sergeant Abbey, who is an aer ial engineer with the ferrying command in India. ' "As for myself, we were Just getting ready to take off for China when they came over. By a few seconds we barely missed being shot out of the air on takeoff. Over the radio we heard a propaganda broadcast that we had been "blown off the map.' But we're still here and without a casualty, too. ' "We fly In the daytime, and take care of the maintenance at night, often with only the aid of flashlights, since there isn't the modern equipment here as at home." Relating his experiences on a trip to China to bring back Chi nese soldiers. Sergeant Abbey comments on the extreme pa triotism of all the Chinese peo ple, their loyalty to each other and to American soldiers. "Sometime before we were to leave, I saw a line of young men. students from a nearby school, with paper sacks in their hands. They had come te wish the sol diers good luck, and gave each one a sack containing food. "One soldier, a boy of 13 or so, began to. cry a little. The leader of the group went over and kissed him. The little fel low stopped crying and smiled. I learned later that the boy was already a veteran of China's war with Japan." Obtaining leave one evening, Sergeant Abbey and a friend visited in town, noticing that ricksha traffic is so thick that it is necessary to look to the right and left before crossing the street "We noticed a man in a store sucking on a bamboo; we went in and made motions with our hands. All at once he said, 'You guys want to smoke this?' "After discovering that he could murder English as well as we do, we asked if we could smoke it. It contained water. He lighted tobacco on the out side, and then sucked the smoke up through the water. We could hear the gurgle and see the smoke. As for us, we couldn't even get a gurgle." The value of American money, in China had the boys puzzled at first, when upon ordering fried chicken they found their bill to be 524. Fortunately, how ever, they discovered that one dollar of our money is equal to 50 Chinese 'yen. "Lucky it was China,' he concluded. U. S. National Bank Shows Ail-Time High in Deposits The United States National bank, which has one of its im portant units in this city, dis closes in its statement of condi tion to the United States comp troller as of December 31, 1942, deposits totaling $294,702,266.64, which is an all time high. This compared with deposits of De cember 31, 1941 of $196,182, 635.29 shows a deposit gain of over 98 millions. Resources in its latest current statement were 5307,742.190.52 against $208, 552,012.38 of just a year ago, a gain of over 99 millions. As pointed out by officials of the bank, this is the first time in Oregon's history that the re sources of any bank in this state reached the amazing total of 300 million dollars. During the past year the cap ital structure of the United States National bank underwent a change, one million dollars from earnings having been added to surplus, making capital and surplus equal a total of 10 mil- WHICH ONE OF THESE MEN ISYOU? 1 Molalla - republican, and Virgil B.

DPA TO CONTOL USED MACHINE SALE All sales of five critical used farm machines, whether made by dealers, auctioneers, or farm ers themselves, have been placed under price control by the of fice of price administration.

Generally, the maximum prices are 70 per cent and 93 per cent of the list or base prices for the same new equipment, de pending on the condition of the equipment when resold.

"This control la necessary to aid farmers who are trying to maintain their production of crops despite serious manpower shortages," Price Administrator Leon Henderson stated.' PORTLAND, Ore., Jan., 8 (P) The farm labor situation will im prove in 1943, thanks to hard boiled federal plans. L. C. Stoll, area director for the war manpower commission, made that promise to the North west Canners association last night. "Only negligible losses were Incurred by growers as the re sult of labor shortages during 1943," ho said, "and the outlook for 1943 is even better as the re sult of hard-boiled plans to pro vide adequate labor to sow, cul tivate and harvest crops In every section of the state." The manpower commission and the U. S. employment serv ice will locate workers through occupational questionnaires, he said, and make appeals for vol unteers unnecessary this year.
