MALCOLM EPLEY Managing Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THE long-talked-about acquisition of a publicly-owned swimming pool may become a reality this year, but the project may come In somewhat aiuerem iorm man I has been generally discussed, There is no hope, of course, 'k v that the c y year can it J i a major objective of the cur VVvM. - rent administration. The ma- ,,,;z i3 terials wouldn't be available if ji the finances were arranged. A' Ji, f I But . . . there is a real lAkVLl PossibiUty thBt the Klamath j.nJfctk mm union high school district can EPLEY purchase from private owners the natatorium on Spring street adjoining the Ugh school property. Such an enterprise Is definitely under way. An option has been taken on the property, and the necessary amount will be included in the high school budget for the coming year. The amount involved, we are informed, is something around $13,000. This Is Important news In connection with development of the high school property as well as promotion of a public swimming pro gram here. The location of the swimming pool fits perfectly into the high school physical education set-up. What local planners have In mind is de velopment, later on, of an adjoining outdoor pool, which may come through the city's swim Ijilng pool project. The whole thing offers possibilities of an outstanding swimming plant for the city's youth. Formal announcement of the high school swimming pool purchase project will probably await the publication of the proposed budget a short time hence. But the plan is definitely on foot, and this spring the. local school has In stituted swimming classes in a program that will, of course, be expanded if the district ac quires the natatorium. a Quotas Are Passed KLAMATH came through in fine style in the second war loan campaign which formally ends today, taking good care of all quotas assigned to it. Tb April quota for war bond buying, ex elusive of the bank bond purchases, was $1, 369,000. At this writing,, the amount raised in that category Is $1,657,640.75. The V. S. National bank branch here bought $1,000,000 in bonds, and the First National bank branches at Klamath and Merrill together acquired $1,687,260 in bonds. That makes a grand total of $4,344,900.75 to date on the second war loan drive in this sounty, and bonds are still being sold, particu-i larly in connection with the sports program at the armory tonight. The E bond quota for March and April in this county was $500,000. That quota has been exceeded, with a final figure to be announced when the final sales are in from the sports program. When the second war loan quotas were as signed to this county, they looked pretty husky to local war savings workers. Unquestionably, a lot of help came through the heavy buying by large firms, including our lumber companies, various large concerns with branches or agents here, and public corporations. But, at the same time, there was increased personal buy ing of bonds, as a result of the second war loan stimulus. The people of Klamath county can look with satisfaction on their accomplishments in con nection with this campaign. MALLON News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON A ASHINGTON, April 30 The adminlstra YY tion had an Inside deal all set with the republicans to modify the Hull reciprocal trade wiWWWi powers in renewing them t j' i8kl within the house ways and f "IsiJ means committee, the demo crats and republicans got to gcther on an amendment whereby congress would be al lowed to exercise a veto pow er over Mr. Hull's tariff rates within 30 or 60 days after the staff secretary makes them, The bill renewing these powers was to go through whooping without anything more than normal democratic-republican argu ments. But someone reneged. No doubt it was Mr. Hull. There is reason to believe the democratic leaders in the senate and house made a canvass indicating that they had a chance to put across their old program without giving con gress any more say In the matter of tariffs than it now has. The democratic leaders were sure of the senate, less certain of the house, but judged their chances worth a try. Thereafter, Mr. Hull insisted more loudly than before that his powers be unrestrained and unimpaired. As a result, the democrats and republicans in the committee resumed straight-out party warfare. After an executive session, the repub licans came out and announced they would propose several amendments, not only giving congress a 60-day veto power, but other holds on the administration's reciprocal trade policy. The battle from now on will be loud and furious. SIDE GLANCES Invasion Weather INVASION weather has opened in Europe. From mid-April to mid-October, the season is favorable to military operations along the great front from Norway southward. This Is an ominous (although not widely noted) fact In view of the repeated public statements by Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill that Europe would be invaded, not on one but on several fronts this year. The particular spots for attack, as well as the time, are naturally secret, but, in general, the prospects are too obvious to be secrets. Invasion of Norway would break the nazi hold on Scandinavia, free the pressure on Sweden, and limit nazi supplies of fish and iron ore. Invasion of Denmark could" hardly be at tempted until Norway was cleared. But Holland and Belgium offer shortest direct routes to the heart of Germany. The nazis have greatly improved the roads and concentrated reserves for shifting greater defensive powers to any point of Invasion in those countries, and down the channel coast of France. Yet we can get air supremacy over invasion points there, and direct invasion is possible. Invasion in the south also has been promised by the authorities. The final acquisition of Tunisia will, of course, give us the nearest air bases for invasion of Sicily and Italy. But it is apparent, earlier or simultaneous invasions could be attempted east of Italy, through Sar dinia, against the southern coast of France or irom iTipoli and Bengasi bases into Greece and me Adriatic. 1 IWfl iiTf cor, iw by wta awvTct. wc.

Keeping fire out of the forests is going to ba a problem of great importance again this year. Recognizing the wartime danger to the for sta, anti-fire workers staged a great prepara tion campaign a year ago, and it was generally successful. Even more effort, and more vigil ance, will be needed this year, when man power is still shorter, timber is still an essential war material, and the value to our enemy of lira In our forests Is just as great as ever. The Stop Forest Fires program has a major role in tho preparation for another summers campaign against fire. About 80 victory gardeners have signed up at Copco under the gardening refund plan estab Hshed this spring. That is a fairly good re sponse, considering weather conditions whicli have been anything but conducive to a full realization of the need for moisture that is going to break on the gardening clan shortly. Allies Rule Air Auiaii.u dominance of the air is what has made all observers so confident of swift iinai success in Tunisia. The Americans and British practically rule the air. As Hitler has been unable to match them up to now, there is hardly a chance that he can do so hereafter, In view of the limited numbers, and tightly pressed position of the few airfields he theoretically controls around Tunis and Bizerte. Americans are fighting In the toughest ter rain in the north, unable to use armor because of the mountains. If we get Mateur, how ever, we might take Bizerte directly. But the two easier key entrances to both Tunis and Bizerte lie at Pont de Fahs and Tebourba. Once the British and French crack these, the Germans should be sunk. If they can press on through these two points to Tunis, they will ease the task of the right flank of the eighth British army in the mountains to the east and might even turn northward and take Bizerte in reverse before we can get there the shorter, harder way. Most Bizerte fortifications face the sea. But the French (before the nazis came) also erected a fortified sand dune line on hills southeast of the city to hinder such an operation. Methods of attack used by the allies, how ever, suggest that the tightening noose is being pressed equally hard from all sides. , The only current prediction on the end of the war is being circulated by the financial seer, Roger Babson, who thinks it will last until after the elections in 1944. The OPA today revised meat ra tion values, effective Sunday morning, to switch many Amer ican appetites from round steak and center pork chops to other cuts, especially spareribs, brains, tongues and pig knuckles. Some people will find more expensive steaks more attractive on a point comparison. Round steak (both beef and veal) and center pork chops each were raised a point to 9 points per pound. Loin pork roasts, slices of boneless ham steak and beef flank steaks also went up from 8 to 9 points per pound. Round tip beef roasts and veal sirloin or chops went up from 7 to 8 and veal leg roasts step ped up from 6 to 7. Pork spareribs came down from 4 to 3 points per pound, hocks and knuckles from 3 to 2, and most variety meats (brains, sweetbreads, etc.) were reduced a point per pound each. An ex ception was liver which was un changed at 6 for beef and 8 for veal. Shank end ham, fresh or ready-to-eat, was cut a point. An oddity of the new schedule is that, in coupons, round steak becomes more expensive than porterhouse steak, although the latter usually costs about 13 cents per pound more in cash. Persons having more cash than coupons may choose porterhouse, T-bone, sirloin, club and rib steaks at their continuing rate of 8 points per pound (except 10 inch rib which is 7) instead of round steak at 9. End pork chops remain at 7,. lamb loin at 8, lamb rib chops at 7, and ham butt roasts at 7. Widely-rumored reductions in luncheon meats, however, failed to materialize. And despite con trary forecasts, beef hamburger did not increase, remaining at 5 points per pound. The order was the first major change in the scale of meat ra tions slncte beef, veal, lamb, mut ton and pork were put under ra tioning on March 29. Minor ad justments in sausage points were the only previous alterations. The new decree made a few changes in canned fish and cook ing oils, but cheese and butter remained at 8 points per pound; lard, margerine and shortening at 5. Salad and cooking oils, however, were reduced from 6 to 5 points a pint (or pound). Canned sea mussels,- which formerly were in a general cate gory requiring 7 points a pound, were cut to 1. Caviar and fish roe came down, too, from 7 to The new point values will be applicable Sunday only to red i, and F coupons In the No. ration book. A, B, C and stamps will expire at midnight tonight (Friday). Blue D, E and F coupons for processed fruits and vegetables also expire to night, and minor changes in the canned goods point values also may be announced over the weekend. Another change was to exempt from rationing bouillon cubes and meat extracts or concen trates. Canned bulk sausage and canned Vienna sausage came down a point. Permission was granted butchers to include In hamburger "heel of round and skirts" as well as other scraps and discards. Commenting on the unchanged status of sausage (except minor changes on types containing less than 50 per cent meat), OPA said the over-abundance of saus age on the market was due to overproduction and not to ab normally low public demand. A press statement said any cut in sausage point values would merely encourage diversion of regular meat to sausage. Mediation Stalled Over Rest Periods In Plane Factory VANCOUVER, B, C, April 30 (CP) Dispute over rest periods in the plants of Boeing Aircraft of Canada Ltd. appeared no near er solution today with the Air craft workers union announcing the management had refused to join the union in a joint applica tion for a commissioner to In vestigate the issue. "We would have been willing to work without rest periods It the joint application had been agreed to," said a spokesman for aeronautical mechanics' lodge wo. 756 (AFL), "but the man agement could not sec their way clear to meet us on this point." Although the post-war truck will differ but little in its ap pearance from present - day trucks, it will be stronger and lighter.

Phonr Itti American Pilots Plaster Burma Japs With Big Bombs V .-, By THOBURN WIANT A U, S. FIGHTER BASE, Northeastern India, April 23 (De layed) OP) American pilots, fly ing P-40 fighter planes, have been plastering Japanese targets in Burma with 1000-pound bombs 500 pounds heavier than any bombs ever carried before in P-40s. Col. John E. Barr, 34, of San Antonio, Tex,, the group ex ecutive officer, conceived the Idea and proved It workable. In the past month a team of six P-40 pilots, trained and led by him, has destroyed four steel railroad bridges, severely dam aged the runways of two import ant airdromes and levelled a large section of an enemy-occupied city. Col. Barr tnlrl Vinur ha t anese repaired the damage after direct hits on hrlrlo-pa with Rnn. pound bombs. "That burned me up," he said, "and I decided to experiment with bigger bombs." He broached his plan to the pilots, but they were dubious be cause nothing bigger than 500 pounders had been carried be fore. Barr himself made tho first raid with a 1000-pounder and then called for volunteers. From the manv resnonHino-. ho selected Capt. Edward Noll- meyer, Everett, Wash.; Lieut.

"You can't Imagine, Judge, how much com fort Louise and I got out of reading that recent report made by the government on drinking habits in and around Army camps. If you hadn't loaned us your copy we'd still be worrying about our Jim.,. all because of those silly rumors goin' around." "I'm mighty glad to hear that, John. As the report says, no Army In American history has been so orderly, so well-behaved, well-trained. Why. even on pay-nleht. there's very little drinking done. I was particularly interested In that paft which said the Army, with an eye to Its own problem, usually prefers to have its camps in wet communities rather than dry com munities because wet communities can be regulated ... dry communities with their bootleggers can't. It's Just more proof that prohibition does not prohibit," Cmlana 4 AlaMU Btmtf IhIHm. IM.
