CHANGES IDE
IN TAX OFFICE
Several changes In procedure
in the Klamath county tax col
lector's office, designed to be a
saving to the county and to fa
cilitate the work of employes in
that office, have been made dur
ing the last fiscal year, accord
ing to Max Saunders, deputy tax
collector.
In the reorganization certain
simplified forms have been in
stalled and some of the most im
portant of these are as follows:
A standard form for turnovers
to be used for all years, thus
eliminating the necessity of or
dering a new form printed every
year and avoiding the wasting of
surplus forms.
A collective register form
which cost 535.65 for enough
sheets to last nearly five years,
has been substituted for books
costing $184.90 each year.
A utility receipt form has been
substituted for separate forms
for all back years, which will cut
down the number of forms ne
cessary to be stocked and avoid
having to have small quantities
printed from time to tune or the
wasting of surplus forms.
Controls which show the total
amount of uncollected taxes for
each tax year, and also the
amount uncollected on each fund

Feast on Fish
From Columbia
WASHINGTON, May 21
(P) Nearly seventy repub
lican members of the house
had a tasty meal when they
feasted on a 35-pound Colum
bia river salmon sent to Rep
resentative Lowell Stockman
(R-Orc.) by Tom Sandoz of
Astoria.
The frozen fish arrived
over the weekend and was
cooked in the house restaur
ant. Many house members who
had to content -themselves
with the usual house menu
and visitors gathered around
the table where the huge fish
was placed before chefs began
serving it
for each tax year have been in
stalled. It is now possible to in
form any taxing district of the
amount of uncollected taxes for
their funds.
Considerable time has been
spent in an effort to put old per
sonal tax rolls into a more use
able form. This work is not yet
complete, but will be of assist
ance to the office force In clean
ing up these rolls.
The office has prepared a fore
closure list and mailed out no
tices on it. This work has pre
viously been done with extra
help and no notices have ever
been mailed out before.
About half the cancellations
resulting from the last foreclos
ure deed have been completed.
This work had previously been
done only with extra help.
These and other changes have
all been made during the past 12
months, in addition to the more
than usual routine activity of the
tax office.

KUka Talk
He declined to talk about what
might be done with regard to
the Japanese forces on Kiska
island, their main base 172 nau
tical miles southeast of Attu. He
said that would be discussing fu
ture operations.
Regarding the Tokyo announce
ment that Admiral Yamamoto,
commander of the Japanese
fleet, had been killed in battle
in the South Pacific, the secre
tary said that the navy's only
information on the death had
"come from Tokyo."
(The Vichy radio in a broad
cast recorded in London said to
day that "the Japanese have be
gun to evacuate Attu. ' This had
no confirmation).
The enemy, as of last Wednes
day, held an area of about 15 or
20 square miles with a line op
posite American advancing forces
about five miles long.
No Information'
Today's communique, however,
gave no information on what
had occurred on Attu yesterday
and officers said frankly that all
they could be sure of for the
present was that operations are
continuing.
They assumed that the Japan
ese probably had' been driven
back somewhat farther in the
meantime, although fog and cold
might have slowed down the
American movement
Navy communique number 385
said: -
"South Pacific: (All dates are
East Longitude).
"1. On May 19th-20th, during
the night, eight Japanese bomb
ers attached Guadalcanal island,
causing minor damage. U. S.
fighters shot down two ,of the
enemy planes.
Bombers Attack
"North Pacific: "
"2. On May 19th, operations
on Attu continued. Japanese
forces have established positions
on the high ground east of Attu
village. United States army
bombers attacked Japanese en
trenchments iri the area north of
Sarana Bay."
Yesterday's communique also
told of operations on the 19th
and that army bombers attacked
military Objectives in the Chi
chagof area.
Thus it appeared that the
whole enemy defense line had
been under air attacks on Wed
nesday.
This line, reportedly consist
ing of strategic heights, caves
and foxholes, stretches from the
shore of Sarana Bay to Attu vil
lage which is at the head of Chi
chagof Harbor. The peninsula

beyond this line embracos an
area of 13 to 20 square miles of
rough mountainous country, navy
men said.
No Ampliiication
There was no amplification of
the action in the South Pacific
in which eight Japanese bombers
succeeded in causing only minor
damage at Guadalcanal. The
fact that the attack was made
at night and that American
fighters destroyed two of the
enemy raiders was evidence that
night fighter planes are now in
operation on Guadalcanal.
The situation in he Aleutians
threatened to develop a com
plete blockade of the Japanese
base on Kiska Island. Their
plight "on Attu appeared hope
less.
In the circumstances the Jap
ancse on Kiska could only look
forward to the same fate, at
though it may befall them much
more slowly and only after tho
noose of blockading ships and
planes has been drawn tight
around the bleak and barren
American island they have hold
since last June.
Kiska Position
Kiska is 172 nautical miles
southeast of Attu and 63 miles
northwest of the American base
on Amchitka. With Attu In
American hands and American
planes operating from the field
which the Japanese had partly
completed there, Kiska will be
caught between two hostile bas
tions.
At present Kiska Is much more
strongly held than Attu was. No
figures on enemy strength on
the two islands have been given
out officially, but estimates by
competent authorities put the
enemy force on Kiska at up
wards of 10,000 men whereas
there probably were only 2000
to 3500 on Attu.

Simultaneously other British

cluding Bremen and Essen. '

The roll call of enemy aierir-l
disaster thus far brought to 18(1
planes in two days. Allied air
craft destroyed 73 axis planes
aloft or on the ground tho day
before in similar heavy smashes
at Italian Mediterranean bases.
Planes Totaled
The RAF and tho U. S. AAF
disclosed in a joint communique
that they had destroyed 5172
axis planes in air combats in the
Mediterranean area between the
entrance of Italy into the war on
June 10, 1940, and the collapse
of axis resistance in Tunisia this
month.
Of these 3416 were shot down
by the middle east command
squadrons, Including Malta-based
units, and 17S7 in the northwest
African campaign.
Since the German and Italian
ground forces tossed in the
sponge, however, allied airman
have brought down 89 more
planes, swelling the North
African total to 1846 and the list
in all the Mediterranean area to
S261. This figure docs not in
clude hundreds of enemy planes
blasted on the ground.
Lotka Guilty of
Smothering Baby,
Says Medford Jury
MEDFORD, Ore, May 21 (P)
Sgt. Bernard J. Lotka, 23, Cleve
land, O., faced the prospect of
spending the rest of his life in
prison today.
A circuit court jury, after de
liberating four hours and 25
minutes, convicted him of second
degree murder last night in the
death of his 10-week-old son in
an auto court cabin here April
1. The verdict, under Oregon
Jaw, carried a mandatory life
sentence. - Judge H. K. Hanna
said he would pass sentence
Tuesday.
The state, accusing Lotka of
smothering the baby, had asked
the death penalty for first de
gree murder.
ACK-ACK ACTION
In 1918 an airplane flying at a
height of 8000 feet was beyond
the reach of gun batteries; aver
age height at which enemy planes
have been shot down recently is
16,000 feet.
