ed firing on. British 8th army

LEGISLATURE'S
li TOPIC AT
CHAMBERMEET
The session of the legislature
Just concluded was one of the
most successful in Oregon his
tory, State Senator Marshall Cor
nett said at a meeting of the
chamber of commerce board of
directors Wednesday noon.
Senator Cornett said the legis
lature's tax program was a con
structive move of vital import
ance. He said it gives Oregon
tax equality with neighboring
states, and added that if Oregon
had had such equality over a pe
riod of years, its industrial devel
opment would have been stimu
lated. Representative Henry Semon
told of the work of the ways and
means committee, and stated that
a matter of considerable concern
for the future is the growth of
welfare costs.
Although these are good times,
Representative Semon said, the
overall cost for welfare purposes
for the next bienmum was upped
50 per cent, or to $30,000,000.
What the costs will be if times
turn to the bad can only be
imagined, Semon said.
Meanwhile, he added, liquor
sales, source of Oregon revenue
for welfare and relief purposes,
Seem likely to go downward un
der rationing and a diminishing
supply.
Several members of the cham
ber will go to Mai In Monday
night for a meeting and buffet
supper sponsored by the Malin
chamber of commerce.
The industrial development
committee reported that several
vegetable dehydrator concerns
have indicated an interest in pos
sibly locating at Klamath Falls.
Christina Shur, wife of Al
bert W. Shur of Bear valley,
west of Worden, died in Klam
ath Falls early Tuesday morn
ing following a lengthy illness.
Mrs. Shur, 75 years of age at
the . time of her passing, had
made her home in Klamath
county for more than 51 years.
The Shur home, landmark in
the Bear valley section, was
burned to the ground Monday
night and all of the family
possessions- were. lost. Mrs.
Shur was in the hospital at the
time. Mr. Shur, 85, is remaining
on the home place. Mr. and Mrs.
Shur were married 58 years
March 2. . . .
- Mrs. Shur was born in Clin
ton county, Iowa. In addition
to her husband she is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Dulcey
Hansen of Tacoma, Wash., and
Mrs. Harriett Gay of this city,
and one son, Howard of Wor

in Giraud's entourage has been
the chief bone of contention be

We all hope, of course, that
these two French leaders will
get together. As long as the
French are suspicious of each

That Is probably the reason
for all this talk about a German

A British communique tersely

where reinforced Japanese

The communique said there

situation, indicating that the
British imperials' had stiffened
after minor withdrawals several

Ships Damaged -
Two of the ships In the convoy
previously had been reported
heavily damaged by direct bomb
hits and severe casualties were
said to have been Inflicted on en

Allied headquartors made no
claim that the vessels had been
sunk, and the failure of recon
naissance planes to find any
debris yesterday gave no evl
dence to support such a claim.
While the search for the con
voy was pressed, allied medium

on Dobo, scoring hits on bar
racks, tents and a radio station,
today's communique said. Three

Qrn Angry
Green angrily challenged the
statement, asserting that organ
ized workers had a "near per
fect" record ot no strikes and
had done "wonders" in produc
tion. Reading a statoment by Rob
ert P. Patterson, under secre
tary of war, that 5500 planes
had been produced in Febru
ary, he added:
"Here Pattersons statement
he ought to know."
"Yes," Holman rotorted, "but
what's his standard? What's, the
goal?"
"This is a record production,
the -most planes aver pro
duced," Green said loudly. .
No Standard . - -"I.
know," Holman. shouted
back, "but that doesn't mean
anything. What's his standard?"
'You mean to say that the
statement of the undersecre
tary of war doesn't mean any
thing?" the witness demanded.
"Not unless you know wnai
the standard Is," Holman in
sisted, adding that because, he
ran 100 yards In 29 seconds
for the fastest time he had ever
made-at that distance didn't
mean that he had accomplished
anything noteworthy.
