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.

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.

WASHINGTON, April 30 (.-P) 3 points on a pound basis,
Fight Fire in '43
NEITHER Kiwanls nor Rotary would give up
regular noon luncheon meetings to make
an "Jnterclub" meeting out of the Stop Forest
Fires campaign banquet May 7, but the anti-fire
workers are going ahead with their event and
It deserves and is expected to receive generous
public support and attendance.
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.

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.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
"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,"
