June 11, 1948 I PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON BUDGET HELD DOWN DESPITE WAGE BOOSTS Despite the raising of all monthly county employe salaries to enable them to meet increased cost of living, the tentative county budget for 1943-44, which appeared for its first publication on Wednesday, is $1000 lower than that for the last fiscal year. According to County Judge U. E. Reeder, cutting of all pos sible expenditures was done in an effort to lessen the burden on the taxpayer this year. Big factor in helping to re duce the county budget was the fact that there are fewer chil dren attending county schools than previously. The state law states that the county must al low $22.63 per pupil in the bud get. Because of the decrease in students, the school allotment could be reduced from $270, 841.6S to $261,884.88 this year, a cut of roughly $9000. Forest fire patrol expenses were lessened by $1600. This was possible because the county has cold several large tract upon which fire patrol taxes have had to be paid previously. Circuit court cuts amounted to $2250 with reductions on at torney fees, witness fees, and mileage, bailiffs' salaries and court reporter fees. ' A sizeable reduction of ap proximately $2700 was made in the district attorney's office on -publications and special investi gations. The road bond Interest fund went down from $15,000 to $10, 000 and the general warrant bond sinking fund to be raised by taxation, was lowered $1000. V There were also reductions In several other county depart ments. '.

Biggest financial boost in the current budget was in the health department, which was upped from-$14,850 to $27,740. This increase will not fall entirely upon county taxpayers' shoul ders, however, as the United States board of health will, for the first time this year, match 30 per cent of the money paid out by the county for nurses, secretaries, health officers, etc. The U. S. board of health does not reimburse the county for building maintenance, janitor sal aries, or heat, lights and water. New item in the budget this year is an allotment for the civilian defense council. A re cent state law makes this inclu sion mandatory. Older monthly women office employes were raised from $10 to $15 per month, and newer ones a little less. Men employes received higher increases. j There will be no major road: construction this year, it was an-1 nounced by U. E. Reeder, due to the fact that it is now almost impossible to get materials. Maintenance and repair, though, will go on as usual as far as pos sible. A meeting will be held at the county court rooms in the court house on June 29 at 10 a. m. to discuss budget estimates with the levying board of Klamath coun ty. Anyone having objections to items in the budget are asked to be present at that meeting. The budget will become final June 29, and be effective July 1. FDR INVITES ITALY TO GETOUT OF WAR (Continued From Page One) pie. He said the present effects of the Anglo-American" cam paign against Italy was. the in evitable result of the ruthless course Mussolini had followed in the past few years. In form ing a .military alliance with Germany. Mr. Roosevelt de clared, Mussolini . betrayed his own country in a struggle for personal power and aggrandise ment. Mussolini's- acts were not those of the Italian people, he went on, but a succession of acts committed by the Duce's personal, fascist regime. The people of the country, he said, are largely devoted to peace. Stab In Back Mussolini's, whole policy was Illustrated, Mr. Roosevelt assert ed, by his declaration of war against France and Britain". Harking back to the day three years ago when Italy took this step, the president recalled that he had termed it then a stab in the back. The allies, he said, have no choice but to pursue the war against Italy and Mussolini un til they have achieved complete victory. Only when the Germans have been driven out and fascism abolished will the good judg ment of the Italian people make itself evident, he said. The president received word this morning from General Dwight D. Eisenhower that Pan teUeria, one of Italy's island bastions in the Mediterranean, had raised the white flag of surrender. Apparently surren der came because of a lack of water on the island, he said. OBITUARY ! ROLAND H. KELLY Roland H.

The fall of Pantelleria three years and one day after Italy en tered the war was announced in a special communique. The climactic raids on Pantel leria yesterday and last night were described here as the great est allied air attack of the war in point of bomb tonnage drop ped on a target of similar sixe. The island, 32 square miles in area and formed by a long dead volcano, lies 45 miles cut of Cap Bon, Tunisia, about 60 miles by air south of Sicily and 220 miles by air from the toe of the Ital ian boot. Flag On Hill The special headquarters com munique said: "The bland of Pantelleria today surrendered and is being occupied by allied forces. ' "This surrender is the result of continuous and intense bombardments supported by naval bombardments. Two pre vious offers (summons) to sur render made to the command er were ignored." A white flag was displayed on hill 74 in the northern part of the island, it was announced early this morning.- This infor mation was conveyed immediate ly to the commander of the al lied forces on the African main land and steps toward occupying the island were begun immedi ately. . . - Many hundreds of allied planes darkened the sky yester day. Thirty-seven enemy fighters were shot down in combat dur ing the attack and two others were destroyed over the Tyrrhe nian sea, north of Sicily. From all operators, six allied aircraft failed to return. The capitulation -of Pantel leria's dazed and battered garri son came little more than seven months after. AEF landing bar ges grounded on the beaches of French Morocco arid Algeria. . (The Italian high command was silent on Its loss. The regu lar Italian communique, broad cast from Rome and recorded by .The- Associated: Press about 3 minutes before Pantelleria yield ed, said the garrison,, "although hammered by the pounding of about 1000 enemy planes, again made no reply to a further re quest of surrender." Later broadcasts repeated that an nouncement.) .. So heavy were the waves of the allied aerial traffic almost "nose to tail" that some forma tions had to circle offshore for several minutes before soarinc in to smother such gun emplace ments, air field targets and oth er military objectives as had es caped the explosives and gunfire of their predecessors.. Blankets of smoke and flame lay above the debris. American-made planes ore- dominated in this final blow of an aerial offensive unique in con centration and continuity. Despite the frantic attempt of axis squadrons to check the at tacks, many of the heavy bomb er crews never saw an enemy fighter in the air over Pantel leria.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) though we weren't then In the war we were SCARED. It's a safe bet that after Pan telleria the Germans are scared. 'J'HE rest of the world .is still relatively quiet. The Russians say that for weeks the Germans have been jabbing for weak spots along the whole vast Russian front, but haven't found any. German General Kurt Diet mas, who has been air-commentating a lot lately, says the eastern front has "put on fat" again and adds that a "platform for offensive operations" against Russia has been established.
