Today's Roundup
f By MALCOLM EPLEY
THERE was some discussion in the high school
board as to whether to put the proposed
swimming pool purchase In the regular budget
B, v for tlte new year, or to make
a Vpecinl levy out of it.
Decision to make it a spec
ial levy is of utmost fairness to
the public. It disengages the
A 5 '. swimming pool purchase en-Wk-
. v i ! tin.lv from the budeet, Riving
the voters opportunity to vote
specifically on this special
proposal. It eliminates an ex
ceptional item from considera
tion in connection with the
regular budget. -
EPLEY
;The cost figure of $13,000 for the swimming
plant came as somewhat of a surprise to those
familiar with previous discussions of public
purchase of this building and tank. Two or
three years ago, when the recreation committee
was talking swimming pool purchase, it was
reported it would cost $18,000 or more to
acquire the Butler tank.
R. M. Butler, builder and owner of the
establishment, tells us that the health of Mrs.
Butler and other personal factors led to his
decision to sell the plant to the high school at
the lower figure. He said the over-all invest
ment amounted to about twice the proposed
sale price.
It is certain that a new tank could not be
bullffor $13,000, and if the high school district
wants a swimming tank, the Butler transaction
is a good one. It does not involve the incur
rence of debt. As proposed, the project will
be handled on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the
single levy financing the entire purchase.
The natatorium is admirably located with
respect to the. high school athletic plant. It is
on adjoining property. There Is - additional
space there for the construction later of an out
door swimming pool (the Butler tank is inside)
if ; and when jthe city recreation committee is
able to go ahead with a swimming pool pro

Names for fighters
THE Kiwanis club has hit upon an excellent
.. idea for the June bond' drive by bringing
the Klamath county communities into prom
inence through a unique contest. Four fighter
planes, to be purchased through June bond in
vestments, will ., be named after four of our
county points. . -
People in these outside lumbering and agri
cultural centers have given steady support to
the war bond campaign throughout its history.
They can b'e counted upon to continue to do so.
'In casting about for proposed names of the
fighter planes, the' Kiwanians decided they
should be designated in . honor of Klamath's
outside lumbering and agricultural centers.
There being more centers than there are planes,
an interest-stimulating contest was decided
upon. '". ; :
Its purpose is. not to concentrate bopd-buying
in the outside communities. ' The Kiwanians, of
! 1 , J 1 : 1 - ...
wwec, wail, uio uviu-uu;uij iw uc Uli a luuilljr
wide basis.. In Klamath Falls and out. They
want Klamath Falls people to join in friendly
competition for the naming of the planes after
' four communities. All purchasers of E bonds
are therefore asked to indicate, at the time of
buying the bonds, to which community they
want the purchase credited. - "
"Klamath Pelican" is the name of the Fort
ress bomber to be designated as a result of the
May bond drive handled by the Lions club.
Pelican is the name used by Klamath high
athletic teams. It occurred to the Kiwanians
that the fighter planes, to escort the Pelican,
should be designated with names from other
athletic teams in the county, and that was the
basis of the selection of proposed names.
The plan brings our county communities into
deserved limelight.
Don't Know Oregon
WHEN westerners discover, as they often "
do, that many easterners are ignorant
about the west, they look upon those people
as saps.
What, then, are we in southern Oregon to
think about the people in Willamette valley
particularly Portland who know virtually noth
ing about the country down here? You know.
The. other, day we were paid a visit by a
lovely young girl from the Willamette valley,
who was in Klamath Falls for the first time.
She said she had no idea, before coming here,
of the fine country we have. She didn't know
about Upper Klamath . lake,' and she didn't
know Klamath Falls was a citv of
proportions and attractive features. .
We didn't blame her, because she is young,

WASHINGTON, June, 3 The specific type
of American bombing attacks leveled
lately upon southern Italy is the usual fore-
'am&s runner to invasion in common
V" CS ly acceP'e military tactics.
' -t1!! On th other hand th n.
. .. n i , i.
Dy me kac over me norm-
west European shore-line is
not generally a prelude to
early land attack.
Our Flying Fortresses have
hammered Italy continually
almost in broad daylight
shooting at the railroad junc
tions leading southward from
Rome into Sicily (Foggia, etc.) and at. Naples,
the leading seaport from which 'nazi supplies
are being shipped to Sicily. We have likewise
hammered the immediate airports throughout
the territory including Sardinia and Pantelleria
to keep Mediterranean skies clear of axis
planes.
But over the nazl-controlled continent, the
RAF has continued to shoot at far different
targets at industrial centers, dams, public util
ities, rather than at the railroad junctions and
airfields immediately behind the shore.
The evidence, therefore, contained on the
face of our military operations, suggests only
invasion on the southern Italian front.
Domination of the air on a great arc running
half-way up into Italy has been maintained by
us since the nazi collapse in Tunisia.
Freedom of the Air -
JUST after our Tunisian victory, we met
practically no opposition in the air over
Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. After a few days,
Hitler rushed some planes to one or two
places, but these were soon destroyed by us,
many of them on the ground. Again after a
few days Hitler put some plane reinforcements
into the area, and again they were destroyed,
so we have enjoyed almost complete freedom
from air opposition in our bombing attacks....
The situation there is entirely different than
in Britain when, the nazis failed to get air con
trol for invasion. During the German blitz
over England, the British lost almost plane
for plane with the nazis in a terrific struggle.
Axis air losses in Italy have been very much
heavier than ours.
Indeed, the opposition has been so weak as
to warrant the conclusion that Mussolini's air
plane defenses have been practically wiped out
and he now lies prone on the ground with
nothing more than anti-aircraft fire to hinder
his ultimate destruction. " ;
Ordinarily a land armv can easilv en mv
place it can get an air supremacy, even with
out complete dominance. You might surmise,
therefore, that the time has arrived when
Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill micrhf woll foil
for surrender of Italy to save
neeaiess destruction of lives and property. ,
In jin ordinary war, this would surely be ex
pected, but the Mussolini regime, although hav
ing lost its own southern skies, still controls
the police and the army, and thus delays the
date of its death at a terrific cost to its nsoni
wise, old General Stilwell iii
t-nma once said mat while dominance of the
air was a decisive military factor, it still re
mains true that the only way you can conquer
a piece of ground for sure is "to get someone
to go there and stand on It."
It looks, therefore, as if we will have to go
Into Italy and stand on it. The Jackal, as
Churchill calls Mussolini, ; will have to be
routed from his lair.
' i
Kiska Possibilities
THE final American mopping up operations
on Attu still leave Kiska in Jap hands
behind our linessubject to starvation or attack.
No supplies have arrived for the Japs on Kiska
since our Attu operations started, and none will
ever get in, according to our hopes and aspira
tions. ..
With Attu as a submarine and air base, we
will probably dissuade the Jap generals from
even trying to send reinforcements to Kiska.
The Aleutians may, therefore, be cleaned out
without further heavy operations.

John W. DeMille of Ashland,
is reported to be missing in ac
tion since May 10. He was cred
ited by the American command
in April with shooting down en
emy planes somewhere in North
Africa.
DeMille worked at the Ewau

the army air corps and he has

WAGNER LAYS
WASHINGTON, June 3 W
Without mentioning the name of
John L. Lewis, Senator Wagner
(D-N. Y.) told the senate today
that a 'labor leader" has uttered
"a cruel blasphemy of the most
sacred rights of free labor" In
citing the national t labor rela
tions act in justification of a
"most irresponsible and disas
trous" work stoppage.
, Lewis, president of the Idle
United Mine Workers, issued a
statement yesterday saying the
war labor board's demand that
collective bargaining cease until
the miners are back at work was
"a malicious, interfering .-. . il
legal action" in conflict with the
national - labor relations act,
which Wagner fathered .
