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. '. There will be no state tax and
no state elementary school tax
for county taxpayers to worry

about this year, and the current
expense fund is lower than last
year's by a little over $45,000.
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

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.

PANTELLERIA
GIVES
ASSAULT
(Continued From Page One)
in 300 yards of them, it was dis
closed officially.
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. Mrs. Reynolds
Goes to Meeting
Mrs. Earl Reynolds, first vice
president of the state organiza
tion of PEO, will leave for Port
land tonight to attend the state
conference of that society to be
held Monday and Tuesday, June
14 and 15.
Leaving Monday for the con
ference will be Mrs. E. M. Bubb
and Mrs. George Myers.
