Were it not for the fact that competition hai de veloped in a school board con test to be settled at the same election, there would be little hope of any kind of a ballot showing on that day. But the swimming pool plan deserves earnest consideration In its own right. It was placed on the ballot In position separate from the budget so that the voters could express themselves definitely on this question the $13,000 purchase of the Butler natatorlum. The high school board has taken an option on the natatorlum at that figure. ' There la general agreement, among people with whom we have talked, that 113,000 Is a very fair price for the property. The city recreation committee, which at one time dis cussed the possibility of buying the Butler pool for the city, was given price several thousand dollars greater than that at which the school district can now buy the pool. Another point In favor of the purchase is that the pool lies virtually inside the high school athletic plant property, making it pos sible to add swimming to the school athletic program without inconvenience. In fact, this spring swimming classes were conducted at this pool. Perhaps the most vital favorable argument Of all Is that the acquisition of the pool would insure an adequate swimming instruction pro gram in the school. Swimming is an important part In pre-induction training. No man should go into the service without knowing how to swim well. Institution of a complete swimming program at the school therefore becomes a war measure. There may be some feeling that it would be better to build a new and modern pool, a was proposed a number of years ago by tht city administration. But it is not possible to build a pool in the war period. If a public body is to own a pool here in the immediate future, it must be done by purchase. : The Butler nat is covered. There is suf ficient property there for an outdoor pool if the city decides later to go ahead with a con struction program. Weather being what it is here, an indoor pool would have a lot of usey even if there were an outside pool in the vicinity. ; . These are some of our own ideas on the subject, which indicate, obviously, that we favor pool purchase. ' But regardless of how our readers may feel on the subject, we think that this project should receive earnest attention and that it should be determined by a good Sited vote. Highway Nam MEETING this week, the community adver tising committee of the chamber of com merce discussed at length the matter of naming tha highway route from Weed, Calif., to Goshen, Ore. It was agreed that this route deserves a name of it own. It includes parts of three high ways, and there is no way now to designate it that is not confusing. The name suggested here the other day was taste-Cascade. This was tentatively agreed upon by the committee, but a final decision Has not been made and other suggestions will be welcomed. Whatever is done, it should not be, delayed much longer. Naming this route is a part of an aggressive highway policy which Klamath must enter upon immediately to be in line for post-war developments. The aggressive spirit was definitely in evi dence at the community advertising committee meeting. That's the thing that will vitalize tha whole civic effort in behalf of the Klamath country and this community. This writer will be absent for a few weeks from his customary haunts hereabouts. (Don't cheer until we're out of hearing, folks.) He will try to keep up contributions to this column while traveling; otherwise, Paul Mallon's col umn, the War Today, and Deb Addison's week ly advertising chats, will no doubt fill the bill nicely. We haven't often been away in a dozen years; we know we'll be thinking a lot, while on this little jaunt, of the friendly folk who tolerate these rambllnga in their home town paper. We'll be seeing you. The War Today (While DeWitt MacKeniie is on vacation, this column is being written by Max Hill, former chief of The Associated Press bureau in Tokyo). By MAX HILL CRITICS of our policy in the Pacific and there are many of them may well be silenced by the half-told story of British changes in India, and the official announcement there is to be a separate East Asia command. Tha Japanese aren't surprised. They either have a first class intelligence service or are able to make a good guess. From Premier Hideki Tojo down they have been talking for several weeks on their short wave radios and in broadcasts designed for home consumption about a coming Allied offensive directed solely against Japan. India has been spotlighted. Japan's military masters have been talking glibly about the subject at every opportunity, and assuring the native population of India that they weren't really at war with them it was the hated white man they were after. Warning THIS is smart propaganda, but it won't work if Sir Archibald Wavell is up to his new job as viceroy of India. The appointment alone is a warning to Japan that Britain is determ ined all of India shall do her part in winning the war against the axis. ' The former field marshal is a soldier, and try as he may be won't be able to keep his military training out of tha complex situation in India, which ranges from religious prob lems, black market operations in cotton and other businesses to actual fighting of the Jap anese enemy. Sir Claude Auchinleck succeeds Sir Archibald, but Britain is holding back her announcement of who it is that will be in command of the East Asia theater. He evidently is not the man who will direct the big-scale operations against Japan. Who Will Get Job? THE announcement from No. 10 Downing street in London said: "It is proposed to relieve the commander in chief of India of the responsibility for the conduct of operations against Japan and to set up a separate East Asia command for that purpose." . Who that man is to be is far more important in the conduct of the war than even the naming of Sir Archibald as viceroy. It is likely the man in charge will come from the British army, perhaps from the air wing since much of our offensive against Japan will be in that field. General Douglas MacArthur has been the most successful Allied commander to match wits with the Japanese, but it isn't probable he will get the job. First of all he is an American, and another American general is in supreme command in Africa; besides Australia must be defended, and the entrenched Japanese must be driven back from their island bases in that South Pacific area. India is part of the British Empire. It would not be logical for an American to be assigned to this post. The Japanese have had a great deal more to do with the present unrest in India than is known generally. Mitsuru Toyama, the evil old man who runs Japan's secret societies, has sub sidized rebellious Indians for years. He works on the theory that any man who opposes the government may be valuable to him, and to Japan. In the past several of India's trouble makers have found a haven in his secluded Tokyo home until it was safe for them to return. V Gardeners Have No Real Worries -- They Should Try d ' aaps mm ' u - crowing i nat Kok-Saghyz (Continued From Page One) more productive from a xeerf standpoint than the first, Larry May, area superintendent for the project, said. Seeds for the experiment are from the experimental farm, which received seed last year irom Kussia, via Washington, D. C. The seed was sowed in June of last year at the farm on min eral soil and did very well. It is believed, however, that the min eral soil at the experimental sta tion is of better quality than that in the Spring Lake tract, where it is now being grown. Now working on the project are Larry May, superintendent; Ansil Pearce, afield foreman; Zeno Dent, another field fore man, and Louise Green, in charge of office work. The bureau of plant industry is cooperating on the kok-saghyz project, and has a plot in each of the tracts, where experiments re carried on In regard to ferti liser, depth of planting, row spacing, irrigation, etc, Dr. Ray Pendleton, of Corva!-1 lis, and A. E. Gross, of the ex perimental farm here, are in charge of the plots and experi ments. The project is under the na tional emergency rubber project. Klamath's part in the project is experimentation with problem soils, where nothing else can be grown, or on soils on which crops already heavily produced are grown. Mineral soil, which can grow nothing else and is re claimed from the sagebrush, has been experimented upon, as has peat soil, which grows mainly barley. Weeding the tracts will start soon, according no May. Woman and boy power will be used for this. About 20 boys are now em ployed in irrigation of the crops. Seeds will come on in late July. Kok-saghyz was discovered in Siberia by the Russians when they investigated the possibili ties of cultivating some type of rubber plant in their climate. The investigation took place in ihjj, and now extensive areas the dandelion, mostly in peat soil. Some of these cultivated areas are in the Ukraine, which has been taken over by Ger many, although there are still large areas of dandelion produc tion in the possession of the Russians. Rubber from the dandelions is used mostly to supplement and improve the synthetic rubber. Synthetic rubber, although used by itself in some cases, is bet ter with the natural rubber when used in tires. To Army Duty Enlisted reserve corps men who left this week for Oregon State college for army duty include Louis C. Mueller, Klamath Falls and Braden B. Ball, Lakeview.

Pointing out that the tax law has been responsible for consid erable confusion in the public mind, the Kiwanis group issued the following statement: "In connection with the June bond drive, being sponsored by the Kiwanis club, the genera impression with the public seems to be that starting July 1, em ployers will be required, under the terms of the new tax law, to withhold 20 per cent of all wages due their employes. "The amount withheld is defi nitely not 20 per cent in any case, due to certain credits ap plicable 1o all taxpayers. For ex ample, a married man on a $200 monthly salary, with no depend ents, will have withheld $23.20 or 11.6 per cent of his salary. If this man had say three de pendents, the amount withheld Would be $7.60, or 3.8 per cent of his salary. As another example, take a married man on a month ly salary of 5300, with no de pendents. The amount with held would be $39.20 or 13 per cent of his salary. If he has say three dependents, the amount would be $23.60 or 7.8 per cent of his salary. In both cases if the number of dependents is less than three, the amount withheld will be somewhere between the two fig ures. So please don't let the rumors being circulated about the new law stop your bond buy ing. Remember bonds are an in vestment, not an expense, and after tjpe war we can ail use this money to good advantage when perhaps we will not be earning the money we now are." Brother of K F Woman Scores in Attu Fighting. Mrs. Paul K. Buck of Wocus Is proud of the accomplishments of her younger brother, Captain Robert Goodfellow of Salem, who has been with the United States army on Attu. A clip ping from an Alaska newspaper relating the achievement of Cap tain Goodfellow and his com mand had this to say: "Captain Goodfellow's com mand held a position on the high ground foot pass, the first Ameri can position to be held off the floor of the valley. Goodfellow yesterday led an expedition which wiped out Jap positions at Tannac bay and captured two landing barges without the loss of a single man."

SUMMER FILL-UP Daniel M. Rohrer, OPA dlS' trlct fuel rationing represents' Uve, again today strossed tha Im portance of all fuel oil consum ers with a storage capacity of 150 gallons or more to take ad vantage of the summer fill-up plan. Rohrer referred to the present fuel oil situation on the Pacific coast in which tha Urn- ited capacity of tha dealers has bean reached and unless the con sumer relieves the situation by filling his own storage- tank, the dealers will be unable to take ad vantage of the tanker service which is now available on the Pacific coast. , It is understood that addition al tankers are available now but will not be later on and it is highly important that every con sumer assist in assuring that enough fuel oil Is available on the Pacific coast for next win ter's needs so that tha west coast will not echo the situation which occurred on the east coast last winter, Rohrer added. In addition to relieving this situation the consumer Is as sured of a full tank with which to meet any sudden cold snap, said the OPA official. Consum ers who have not taken advan tage of the summer fill-up plan are urged to contact their local war price and rationing boards at once. Students From Here Honored Gordon It.

Ore, (To the Editor) Speaking of tho war effort The other night sfter work I stopped at a wood yard with my car and trailer to get s small load of wood. They wouldn'l sell ma a slick of any kind of wood, but I could buy a sack of coal for $1.80 or a doxen Presto Logs for $1.00. I tried another yard Jujt around the corner and received the same kind of n answer. Two winters ago (when the Inst supply of Prest-O-Logs was available in Klamath Falls) a severe storm caught the community and immedi ately exhausted all supplies of dry wood In office yards. Then, Prest-O-Logs (at 14 for $1.00 and coal (at 70c per 100 lbs.) were the only solid fuels left for pickup. i This was not a desirablo condition for cither the public or tho fuel dealors. In the hope that this emergency shall not re-occur, fuel dealers have constantly brought to the public these facts: 1. If wood is ordered for delivery now - 2. If those who wish to haul their own wood will do it now ' 8. If coal users will store their win ter's supply now if they will do all these things now, fuel dealers will be able to retain their stocks and de livery service for orderly handling of winter re quirements and emergencies encountered by new comers and others who are not able to provide for themselves in advance. - For those who do wish to haul their own wood. Peyton & Co. has maintained a cash and carry service at the Ackley Mill, 64 Klamath Ave., all summer. On June 10, Peyton & Co. announced In this paper the offering of 2000 cords of dry wood for hauling In customer's own equipment from our South Riverside yard. Taking It upon myself to .speak for Klamath Falls fuel dealers, I wiBh to thank the many Klamath families who have responded, some times at inconvenience to themselves, to the need for conserving labor and delivery service by buy ing their winter's fuel now, and enabling us to, eliminate waste motion for the common benefit f the community. .'
