Lee Aagtleei MALCOLM EPLET HanafXMf Editor Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY ITS probably too much to expect busy people is this war yew to do much studying ol local budgets. There is more dependence than usual upon budget committees to do right by ... i.w 1i 11 - .IL ity of close surveillance of their work. ; ' 1 " J The county budget for the fiscal year J 943-44 is published i ' t -4 for the first time in today's -.4 paper. This required publica- tion goes into considerable de tail, and those who will take a few minutes to turn to that page today can learn some thing about their county and its finances. High school and elementary school budgets have been given first publication. - The elemen tary budget election is slated for June 31, and the high school budget will be up for vote June 28. Both of these districts exceed last year's budget by more than the statutory 6 per cent, and vote of the people is therefore required. The elementary school district allowance Sot Instruction is upped from $102,800 to $118,426 through the adoption of the single salary sched ule I I 'r LfD EPLET ule. Meaning of that term is that all teachers, whether in high or elementary schools, are on the same scale according to their training and experience. A temporary wartime bonus system has been Instituted for the benefit of both high school and elementary teachers this year and shows up in the budgets. This gives the employes of both districts a flat $200 extra for the year and Is intended to take care of the rise in liv ing costs which is not otherwise reflected in salary changes. Distribution of state Income tax money to the schools will help the local districts materially this year. The city elementary district expects to get about $50,000, and the high school dis trict will get about $26,000. The state tax split was provided in a law passed by the peo ple last November, and revised somewhat by the legislature. Not in the regular high school budget is a special district levy proposed for raising $13,000 to buy the Butler natatorium. This will be voted on separately. a a a a Yesterday, ' we noted that FJ was out of town and left us so plugged with work we couldn't do much for Gilchrist on that bond drive.

"You mean if 1 divorce my husband I can'l continue to use his ration book?" 9 I I MALLOW News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLOH WASHINGTON, June 8 Popular concep tions bold John L. Lewis traitor for his mine stoppages, and seem to suggest also that Mr. Boosevelt was lax in dealing with him, presumably for fear of the effect on '44 politics. These points may have their grains of truth, but down un derneath them there is the all pervading fact that the gov ernment got itself involved in intricacies so deep and com plex a s almost t o prevent prompt solution. It did not get out at the time, but twice the war labor board marched down to the Whit House and threatened to resign in a body if Mr. Boosevelt did not shut up Fuel Administrator Ickes entirely and completely. Mr. Ickes thereupon shut up, for a moment at least, a very big moment. Neither he nor the WLB, nor anyone else, in the government, asked Lewis to try to stop the miners from resuming their leisure at the expiration of their truce, although the strike naturally was to follow automatically. - When Mr. .Ickes did get around to asking Lewis, the strike was stopped. The fundamental government difficulty was that Mr. Ickes wanted one solution and the war labor board another, or at least, the WLB wanted to make whatever solution was to be adopted. Its jealousy over its authority cer tainly did as much to promote the second walk-out as did Mr. Lewis or the operators. All government just sat silently and let it lumpen. Ickes' Plan rE politically-minded Mr. Ickes had virtual solution as far back as May 29, when he recommended $1.50 a day increase for the miners. Lewis was contending for $2, but fin ally agreed to accept the $1.50. Then Ickes submitted the idea to the operators and they turned him down, although he was supposed to be bees of the mines and they merely his agents. Again, there was only five minutes differ ence in a settlement between the operators and miners. The operators were willing to grant Lewis portal-to-portal pay for 65 minutes, but Lewis held out for 90 minutes. Then Ickes suggested a joint commission be appointed to determine the actual average portal-to-portal time, thus delaying a settlement The issue might have been concluded over the last weekend after Lewis had ordered the miners back to work. But the war labor board would not let the operators resume negotiations until the miners were actually in the pits Mon day morning, thus losing two days of negotia tions. This made the operators so angry at WLB, they actually joined Lewis In denouncing the board. The whole silly contest was conducted in the public eye, in actual competition for head lines, with all labor anxiously watching to see what Lewis would get out of the government, hoping and planning to get the same or more for themselves later. No one will emerge from such a man-made maize with any glory, least of all war labor board. No doubt the administration would have liked to do something drastic about Mr. Lewis. Its wrath was higher than its actions. Mr. Roose velt's lawyers even looked into the treason laws with an idea of using them on him. a a a a Law Change Talked JUSTICE department lawyers went into the matter thoroughly, but later passed the word to interested senators that they could find nothing bearing sufficient legal glue to stick on the coal disrupter. As a result, democratic Senator Eastman (Miss.) is working with justice lawyers on a bill to change the treason law to punish, with penalties short of death, such actions against the good of the state. As statutes stand now, Lewis could have been indicted for treason only in event violence developed around the mines traceable to his orders. Some sort of destruction of government property or impediment to government opera tion by violence would have to be involved. Naturally, Lewis was too smart to walk into such a trap. OLD FORT FUG 28 Combat Flights Fail to Put Crimp in Hell's Angels 87 LEO BRANHAM AN AMERICAN BOMBER STATION IN ENGLAND, June 9 UP) After seven months of big time combat duty, the Flying Fortress "Hell's Angels" is still going strong with only a few patched-up flak punctures and a lone bullet hole as battle scars from 28 passes at Hitler's Eu rope. This is a record unequalled by any sister Fortress in the Euro pean theatre and all the more amazing because Hell's Angels has had to plough through some of the thickest anti-aircraft fire ever tossed up at a bomber and has fended off Reischmarshal Goering's yellownose fighters. wftich are some of the best in the air. The Fortresses don't try to waltz through those walls of flak. They just plunge ahead and take It. That Is what "Hell's Angels" has done over such strongly defended targets as Wilhelmshaven, Kiel, Bremen, Hamm, Vegcsack, St. Nazaire, Liorient, Romilly and Pans. In all 190,000 pounds of bombs have left her racks to churn up devastation in these and other targets. Sometimes the bombers de velop difficulties and have to turn back home before getting to their targets but not once has this happened to Hell's An- All but one of her original crew have completed their oper ational misslpns and are now slated for other assignments, and every one of them has lavish praise for the ship which bears . , J. . ........ the insignia of a grinning, haloed, wing-sprouting cherub on roller skates with a big bomb flung over his shoulder. Some other stations have dub bed "Hell's Angels" the "luck iest Fortress in the European theatre of operations." That burns up the boys on this sta tion. "Her flying crew and ground staff Just know their onions," they say. There have been only two cas ualties among all the men who have flown with "Hell's Aneels" they were lost while flying as substitute crew members in other oomoers. Members of the crew who have recently completed their oper ational missions are Caritiln Irl E. (Baldy) Baldwin, 22, of Yak ima, wash, pilot; First Lieut. Donald R. Bone, 28, Temple Okla., bombardier; Sergeant James E. Rodriguez, 33, South Ozone Park, N. Y, top turret gunner;, sergeant Russell M. Warren, 29, Santa Fe, N. M., radioman-gunner; Sergeant Eller ton F. Meddaugh Jr., 20, New Milford, Conn., right waist gun ner; Sergeant Harry J. (Cowboy) Brody, 24, Glendive, Mont., ball turret gunner; Sergeant Dennis Welskopf( 28, Miami, Fal., left waist gunner, and Sergeant Har old E. Godwin, 23, Los Angeles, tail gunner. Every member of the crew came through all their raids without a scratch. Each has the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with three clus ters for gallantry and exception al achievement, Chemists say that post-war synthetic rubber will be of such high quality that importation from the Dutch East Indies will be pointless. In modern precision bombing. American style, statistics play almost as vital a part as bombs and bombsights. (Continued From Page One) of Captain Ehle Reber. missing in the European air war. Captain Gilbert S. Carpenter, commanding officer of Fort Klamath during its last three years, returned to Vancouver Barracks, headquarters then for the entire area, after Fort Klam ath was vacated. Pictures taken during the time of his command of the fort show the uniforms in vogue during the time and show the captain in long white whiskers. One of the pictures shows a McAllister Gets Captain's Rank MEDFORD, June 9 W Wll liam M. McAllister, speaker of the house at the last state legis lative session, said today he has received a captain's commission in the provost marshall gener al's department of the army. The Mcdford attorney said he is awaiting orders to report for duty but would not resign hit speakership unless it becomes necessary. A republican, he is serving his fourth consecutive term as representative from Jackson county. BOND SALES HERE MOVE P T0S4.D0D,!D0 Andrew Collier, county war savings chairman, and J. V. Owens, assistant county war savings chairman, were initiat ed into the Million Dollar club in Portland last weekend. Col lier was initiated by proxy, al though Owens attended the meeting. The buying of $4,000, 000 worth of E war bonds in Klamath county entitled them to Initiation. 4 The community war bond buying contest continues, with more radio broadcasts being planned to boost community sales. Thursday night at 8:30 Merrill will be on the air, Bon anza will br04dca.1t next Mon day at 6:30 p. m.; Sprague River, Thursday, June 17, at 8:40 p. m.. and Henley at 6:49 Friday, June IS. No up-to-the-minute reports on the bond buying are avail able, because of scattered buy ing. Collier expressed his ap proval of the contest idea to boost bond sales in Klamath county during June. Attends Summer School Pearl Cunningham, teacher at Gilchrist, is leaving this week for Eugene where she will at- ilag flying from the ; tend summer school at the Uni- mast the same flag, probably, as that which will be displayed Flag Day. Laura Carpenter had just graduated from high school when she went with her father to live at the fort. She was 17, while her sister Elizabeth was only 6. Elizabeth is now work ing in a New Jersey war plant chaperoning girls making life saving equipment. She was also active during the last war, when she spent 18 months in France as vocalist, entertaining the troops. She is still teaching voice in New Jersey. The former owners of the flag came last summer to look at their old home, and were ac companied to the fort by Rey nolds and Doris Payne, author of "Captain Jack, Modoc Rene gade." They had taken the flag down when the old fort was abandoned and have kept it in memory of their life there. The women hope to come back for another visit to the fort, some day when the war is over and their trip can be more pleasant. The Mustang has also been produced in a dive-bomber ver sion; the dive-bombing equip ment adds less than 200 .pounds more to the normal gross weight of the plane. More motor blocks are crack ed in March because motorists grow careless, feeling that win ter is almost over and that fur ther checks on anti-freeze are unnecessary. While many of its features, like the fin, are vastly im proved, the basic design of the Flying Fortress is the same to day as it was eight years ago. versity of Oregon.

TO City-Wide Book Drive Scheduled For Next Monday, Monday, June 14, Is the date set for the joint chamber of com merce and Boy Scout book drive to acquire reading material for boys in service. Under the chair manship of Don Rice the Jaycee book committee has joined with the Boy Scouts to make a house to house canvass of the city In order to collect as many books as possible for the purposo of pro viding relaxation and a bit of pleasure to men in the army. In the navy. In the marines. In the coast guard, and in the merchant marine.

Klamath Falls has been block ed off into ten districts, and one Boy Scout troop is to work each district. The Scouts will start out Monday morning, distributing leaflets on bond buying at the same time they make their can vass for books. It is very impor tant to have the books already picked out and ready to give when the Scout appears at your home. If the Scouts have to wilt while books are picked over and ! decisions are made whether or! not to keep each one or donate it. I there will be Insufficient time for each Scout to approach every home In his district. No pulp magazines are desired, nor are "funny books," and they will not be accepted. Give books you know your own relatives in the service would enjoy. Although no one will be asked for money (for It is against all Boy Srout principles lo do so), those who do not liuvo any books to glva but still wish to help out may offer an amount of money (or the purchase of honks. One dollar will buy three good books. As books are collected Ihey will be tiiken to a centrally lo. cated collection renter In each district where they will hp pick ed up by Juyreo members and deposited by them at the bonk drive headquarters.

The Germans have long been expected to use gas as a last desperate resort when It begins to appear definitely that the war Is going against them. The com bination of these two warnings makes it seem likely that word of German and Jap preparations to use gas, if a situation arises that would make its use ef fective, has resched our higher leadership. It isn't a particularly pleasant subject to contemplate, but if the Japs are going to use gas any where they'd be likely to do It in a sneak raid against some of our coast cities. (To be most effective, poison gas must be used where it will hit the other fellow but MISS the user's forces. Such a condi tion would be present in a Jap raid on the Pacific Coast.) a a a rH the home front, Herbert Hoover tells the American Farm Bureau Federation: 'There are too many cooks for TOO LITTLE food." The control of food, he says. Is now divided NINE ways. There should be only ONE head, he adds, and that should be the secretary of agriculture. He thinks food price fixing should begin as nesr the farmer at pos sible and WORK UPWARD, In stead of beginning at the top and working down.
