Today s Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
NOT much has been said in the public prints,
or elsewhere, so far M we know, about
the swimming pool proposal to be on the
,4 Klamatn union nign remwi
ballot at the school election
June 28. 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.

Worries -- They Should Try

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.

Bond Buyers Warned on
Tax Confusion by Kiwanis
The new federal tax law
should not affect bond buying in
Klamath county, the Kiwanis
club war bond committee said
Saturday.
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."

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.

Speaking of the
WOOD Effort--
A letter In "Telling tho Editor" in this paper
June 16 stated:
WOOD COMPLAINT
KLAMATH FALLS. 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. .'
