FLOYD COLGLAZIER, 22-year-old survivor of
the sinking of the U. S. aircraft carrier
Hornet, has been doing a remarkably able Job
r rfcf -" ,$as spokesman for the four
? ,il " 1 wounded sailors visiting Klam.
!L ' i ath Falls as guests of the
Commandos.
, U Speaking frankly, naturally,
I "and with excellent humor, he
s( has held audiences on the
t V edges of chairs in a way that
L ""I would be the envy of many a
I tl Strained public speaker. Wa
I jhave heard him introduce his
Jniiles, describe the naval ac
COLGLAZIER tion in which his ship was
lost, and talk about the Commandos and tha
hospitality of this community, and we mark it
down as the best speech-making we have heard
in Klamath Falls this year.
Telling about the arrival of the sailors in
Klamath Falls early this week from Mare island
naval hospital, Young Colglazier said they were
met at the train by four pretty girls, and then
banqueted at a . local restaurant with 28 at
tractive young women. The subject of dates
for the lads came up.
"We were told to take our pick," said Col
glazier. "I looked the situation over. I felt
just as I did when I was a kid and stood before
a whole showcase of candy with just one penny
in my pocket."
Gratitude
YOUNG Colglazier nailed this writer after a
luncheon meeting Thursday noon.
"I want to talk to the newspaper," he said.
"I want you to tell these Commandos and these
people just how we feel about all of this. You
can't tell these girls they're busy giving us a
good time and they won't pay any attention to
us.
"Down at Mare island hospital, everybody is
talking about Klamath Falls. Those six marines
came back and described it as some place like
heaven or better.
"Wa want the people of Klamath Falls to
know what a wonderful thing this is for us
and the men like us at Mare island. Please
tell them, and put it on the front page."
It was there yesterday, but we're repeating
it today, because it is a tribute to the Com
mandos, straight from the heart, that bears
re-telling. Our girls not only had a wonderful
' idea, but they're doing a wonderful job of
putting it into practice.
t
City Falling Down
THE Bed Cross war fund drive is slowing
down, and the trouble seems to lie right in
Klamath Falls. The outside towns Gilchrist,
Malta, Fort Klamath, Bonanza, Merrill and
others are doing a fine job, and the response
has been excellent in some of the nearby
suburbs.
At Fort Klamath, a pie social netted $103.51.
Gilchrist held an entertainment that brought in
$51.85. A Malta cake sale produced $80, 'and
$48.90 came from a Bonanza smoker. Bonanza
school contributed $40. The settlement near
the Junction service station donated 100 per
cent, something coming from every house.
But city contributions are not coming up to
expectations.
The war fund should receive a substantial
boost toward the $31,600 quota when the large
woodworking unions report, but there is still
need for generous and general response from
the people in the city.
Bend Camp to Open
BEND'S new engineering replacement center,
to be opened May 1, was at one time con
sidered for a site on Williamson river in Klam
ath county.
An engineering board came here to look over,
sites for such a camp. Another suggested loca
tion was in the Midland area. The board mem
bers indicated the choice might be close be
tween the Bend district and the Williamson
river site; nothing more was heard until the
announcement of the Bend camp was made.
That announcement, we are informed, was a
virtual surprise to Bend.
MALLON
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 26 Tito congressmen
have been getting so many letters from
back home that tha administration's opposition
to the Ruml plan is likely to
be formal.
Speaker Rayburn and Floor
Leader McCormack are talking
anything but tough to the dem
ocratic members, and, while
there is no question of their
sincere desire to follow the
leadership of ways and means
committee Chairman Dough
ton, they realize it cannot be
done.
The best they arc likely to
get are some modifications yet to be worked
out.
Probably the greatest obstacle they have
faced here is the fact that influential Mr.
Doughton has saved the money for his next
year's taxes wisely and prudently, and he has'
not been sympathetic about the viewpoint of
others who were not able to do so, or who
were not so prudent or wise.
The treasury opposition has been based os
tensibly on the idea that the rich would be
helped. But that attitude also may possibly
have softened somewhat by the fact that the
March 15 income tax returns did not any
where come up to expectations and bonds were
cashed in large quantities to make them. The
figures suggested that people were unable to
meet the current revenues, much less attempt
to meet the committee proposal to lure double
payment of taxation this year with 6 per cent
bait.
However, Representative Frank Carlson, re
publican, of Kansas, has estimated that the
tadpole bit of 6 per cent discount small as it
is, would cause possibly 5,000,000 people to
borrow a billion dollars this year.
Borrowing Blues
THIS, however, would benefit only those who
had sufficient credit to borrow at less than
6 per cent from a
bank.
It would only
solve the problem
of the man who
has' cash at hand,
not necessarily the
rich man, whose
taxes this year are
terrific, or in bonds
(including govern
ment). These necessary
war taxes are
equally burden
some on all. It
causes the rich
CJ man just as much
, difficulty to raise
1 say $10,000 at his
' high rate of taxa-
JAMES ALOYSIUS FARLEY tion by comparison
Where's He Going? With his income, as
it does the poor man by comparison with his
$25 a week. The rates vary, but it is no easy
burden for anyone to carry. .
Under these circumstances, the rank and file
of democrats have broken away from house
leadership and Rayburn and McCormack have
been required to face the situation to get the
best they can.
Farley Support
THE question of where Jim Farley is going
with the 'support he has been organizing
has been puzzling a number of the higher po
liticos. Some of the republicans have been
suggesting that he would look good as vice
presidential candidate on a ticket with Governor
Bricker, of Ohio, for Instance.
So far as anyone around here has been able
to detect, Mr. Farley's work, whatever it has
been, has been in favor of himself.
A coalition with the republicans presumes a
merger all down the line of the anti-Roosevelt
democracy, and whether it could be completed
or not, . is a question, and there are others in
the party with substantial personal followings,
including Byrd of Virginia, and the favorite son
senators.
The idea may not jell, but it is being talked
around.

New Music Style to Come
From War Says Wayne King
SEATTLE, March 26 UF) A
new style of music will spring
from the war and its attendant
need for young men in the armed
services in all parts of the world
to provide their own entertain
ment, thinks Capt. Wayne King,
big-name orchestra leader before
the war.
"Right now there Isn't enough
band music in the army," Capt.
King, executive officer in the
army special service, asserted.
"I mean," he explained, "I'd
rather hear 500 soldiers kicking
that thing around off key than
listen to the finest band. When
they get overseas they have to
provide their own entertain
ment. We want to see that they
get started over here, because
entertainment is mighty impor
tant to them over there."
King said he had no idea what
post-war music would be like.
"I wish I knew," he said. "I
could make myself a million."
Angry Retail Butchers
Riot for Meat in New York
NEW YORK, March 26 (P)
About 2000 pngry retail butchers
milled about meat truck for
several hours today crying for
"a fair share" of the commodity
-until two policemen on horse
back dispersed them.
The truck, owned by H. C. Bo
hack company, was being load
ed at Brooklyn market when
the butchers gathered around It.
"We want a fair share!" they
shouted. "We want meat because
we've got to feed defense work
ers." When police came, the truck
drove away, partly loaded, and
the throng moved to another
but the driver of the second
leaped to his cab, snouted he was
taking five tons of meat for hos
pital use and drove off.
A meat firm executive at the
market said he was unable to
supply all the butchers with
beef. He said the Bohack com
pany had received only a part of
its normal supply.
Frederick Benedict, president
of the Retail Butchers Protective
association, charged that OPA
regulations were unlawful, de
claring in a statement:
"The people of the city of Now
York are being starved not be
cause of any scarcity of meat but
by an artificial scarcity created
by the stupid, impractical regu
lations of the OPA which makes
it absolutely impossible for the
meat business to function.
OUANDRY
NORTH LOUP, Nebr. 'IP) A
grocer in this town is in a pretty
fix.
A fire at his store destroyed
all the labels on his canned
goods. His customers won't buy
any because they want to know
what they're getting. And the
grocer can't dispose of the can
ned food without taking ration
stamps in return.
He's appealing to the OPA in
Washington for a ruling.

DISCUSSES UNIONS
MERRILL, Ore. (To the Edi
tor): Norman C. Musselman has
written a nice long letter, but in
only the last paragraph he really
has explained what unions or or
ganizations intend to do, never
theless he hasn't told us what
the union is. In just a few lines
I believe I can tell him whom
they are. They are a group of
people, who as individuals, can't
stand on their own feet. They
must organize before they could
strike, and always strike where,'
most harm can be done, never
thinking of harm to the outside
group. Never worry about fuel
oil shortage as in eastern states,
never work if work will contin
ue when most necessary, as long
as they get what they want un
der all conditions. Their money
isn't invested in the work that
provides them work to. keep
them from starving. Business
men or farmers can't strike at
every little discouragement. For
its their brains they use and not
backs. Just let farmers strike for
only a short time and see what
will happen. The Little Painter
organized and what is he today,
and how much love does he get
from others? His. organizations
have caused us many tears and
gallons of red blood. He has
made us follow him in his tracks
by organizing here to see who is
the strongest and yet we say he
must be a lunatic, man without
brains or so cruel that he isn t
even human. It's freedom we are
fighting for, not for dictatorship.
Not like the mayor of one-horse
towns that dictated to us how
much we must give to organiza
tions and then lets his own son,
who hasn't farm experience, buy
a farm so he could get in Dodge
No. 1 A class so he be deferred
from the army, so he wouldn't
have to fight for freedom. Let's
not forget the good old times we
used to have fishing, traveling
and eating the food without
thinking how many points and
stamps it took. The points and
stamps came upon us only
because sore people figure the
more cans on shelves look bet
ter organized than one can
standing alone.
As far as unions buying most
of bonds, if it's true, God bless
them for it. But never-the-less, if
one doesn't buy bonds, Uncle
Sam can't build tanks, airplanes,
etc., to provide work for the
unions to have a chance to strike
again. Let's not forget that
bonds, dollars, millions of them
won't change the valuation of
food, as it was before the war.
Potatoes will always taste as po
tatoes did, when first discovered.
No matter if you will eat them
with gravy, they still are pota
toes. So, if you must organize, be
sure it's for pleasure and not

FASTEST CLIP
SINCE 1941
By VICTOR EUBANK
NEW YORK, March 26 !')
Stocks today hit the fastest clip
since 1041 and numerous mtirkct
lenders touched penk levels for
nearly three years but lata prof
taking on the four-session up
swing stemmed tho drive.
Thursday's brisk recovery was
extended at tho start and moro
than 1,000,000 sliurca crowded
the ticker tape by mid-cluy.
Blocks of 1000 to 15,000 shares,
mainly in low-priced issues,
came out at frequent intervals.
Gains of 1 to 2 points were wide
spread and there wore a few
bulges of 5 or so, Many custom
ers, however, could not resist
the urge to cash in mid top marks
were cut in most ensos near tho
close. A sprinkling of minus
signs also was in evidence. Turn
over for tho full proceedings was
around 2,200,000 shares.
Persistent bullish Influences
included the war, inflation
psychology, pressure of Idle

congress.
Conspicuous on the forward
