been no serious delay by us of
any vital program.
"I will answer the statement
in detail and be glad to have a

Wallace said Jones had created
a "false impression" in testimony
before the congressional econ
omy committee headed by Sen
ator Byrd (D-Va.).
Prevent Harm .
"It Is time to prevent further
harmful misrepresentations of
this nature," Wallace said, add
ing: "Although the president, on
April 13, 1942, transferred full
control over the programming
of imported strategic materials
from the reconstruction finance
corporation to the board of eco
nomic welfare, which operates
under broad directives received
from the war production board
(WBP), Mr. Jones has never ac
cepted that authority.

us to carry out wartime assign'
ments. Some of these obstruc
tionist tactics have been minor
and annoying and some have
been of major consequence in
this lob of waging total war."
In his statement, Wallace dis
cussed the stockpiling of various
strategic materials. He said con
gress had made funds available
for such a purpose as far back
as 1939 and that in the summer
of 1940 the RFC was given funds
for stockpiling.
RFC Failed
"From the summer of 1940 un
til well past December 7, 1941,
Wallace said, "the reconstruction
finance corporation failed dis
mally, so far as the import field
was concerned, to build tne
stockpiles authorized and direct
ed by the congress nearly eigh
teen months before Pearl Har
bor.
"During this period, of course
private purchasing of imports
continued on a somewnai in
creased scale due to better bus
iness, and the reconstruction
finance corporation entered into
various underwriting agreements
with some countries under which
we agreed to take surpluses if
they were not bought privately.
Not Aggressive
"This seems to us to have
been a timid, business-as-usual
procedure; at least it was a 'far
cry' from the aggressive gov
ernment stockpiling which the
congress directed and authorized
so that this nation might have
a margin of security in its im
ported raw materials inventor
ies." Wallace referred to testimony
of last December before the sen
ate banking committee In which
he and Milo Perkins, executive
director of BEW, "gave evidence
of the extent to which he (Jones)
had delayed the foreign rubber
nrocram and cited specifically
his stalling in the gathering of
wild rubber in South America
and the planting of rubber
plantations in Africa and in the
planting of cryptostegia tor na
tural rubber in the Caribbean."
He said he was making today's
additional statement because
'the effort to misrepresent the
facts concerning the board of
economic warfare has con
tinued."
Public Duty '
"There are times when the
sense of public duty outweighs
the natural personal reluctance
to discuss facts of this nature,
Wallace said. "This is such a
time."
Wallace listed quinine, used
in the treatment of malaria.
among the strategic materials re
quired. He said that on April
14, 1942, General Douglas Mac-
Arthur wired that two million
seeds (Far East Cinchona bark)
of a high grade strain had been
brought out of the Philippines
and quoted MacArthur as say
ing the seeds "must be planted
without delay.
Accuses Jones
'1 am sorry to have to in
form this committee," the vice
president said in his statement,
that Jesse Jones and Will Clay
ton (assistant secretary of com
merce and director of the de
fense supplies corporation, an
RFC subsidiary) stalled for
months on this program.
... There are times when
what we need Is more fights
and fewer shortages.

Cathedral Hit
The German high command

broadcast by the Berlin radio
and recorded by the Associated
Press, asserted that "the Co
logne cathedral suffered heavy
damage from1 explosive and in
cendiary bombs and that Co
logne's population "suffered

The German high command
called the Cologne attack "an
other serious terror raid against
residential quarters.
A Berlin broadcast of a DNB
dispatch recorded by the Asso
ciated Press asserted the dome
of the famous Cologne cathed
ral was hit and a part of the
Gothic structure, begun in 1248
and completed in 1880, was

Second in Month
It was the second raid of the
month against the great Rhine-
1 a n d industrial center which
the nazis have been reported
working avidly to restore. The
1000-bomber raid was reported
to have driven out 200,000 of
the city's 800.000 population
and wrecked 250 factories.
The German communioue re
ported property damage in both
Cologne and Hamburg and said
26 of the attacking bombers
were shot down. Thickly popu
lated parts of Cologne were
said to have been destroyed as
result of a great number of
explosive and incendiary
bombs.
The official bulletin gave no
results of the attack on Ham
burg, last hit March 3 and an
air target nearly 100 times since
the war began.
in secondary night sweeps,
fighter command aircraft at-
tacked enemy shipping in the
channel, damaging one small
supply vessel and two escort
craft, the communique said. At
the same time intruder patrols
attacked railway targets in
France.
Last night's raid was the
eighth British assault on Ger
man targets in 10 days.-.

The twin foray by the British
bombers followed up a two-way
attack yesterday by strong for
mations of American Flying

Such allied air blows on the
French homeland, the nazi-con-
trolled Vichy radio declared to
day in a broadcast recorded by
the Associated Press, have made
more than 16,000 persons home

fatal casualties averaged 15

miners were working, and about
4000 were in the pits in Ala

their jobs in the anthracite fields

gaining momentum in other sec

STRIKE BILL
WASHINGTON, June 29 m
The tripartite war labor board
was agreed today on at least two
points of potential controversy
in the new Connally-Smith-Hark-ness
strike control bill:
1 The 8ct will not alter the
present participating roles of la
bor members.
2 It will not Interfere with
the present policy of ordering
maintenance of membership
clauses written into labor con
tracts. The board, composed equally
of public, industry, and labor
representatives, devoted half of
yesterday to a study of the act,
passed over presidential veto, in
consultation with Lloyd Garri
son, general counsel. An opin
ion on these will be sought from
the attorney general, too.
The board's interpretation.
backed by the attorney general,
would not necessarily preclude
a court challenge on these points,
but official sources believe the
united front would carry some
weight in court, particularly in
view of the three-unit nature of
the WLB.

Sunday's raids on Kiska raised
to 22 the number of separate
air actions carried out over that
enemy North Pacific outpost in
a four-day period.
while there was no explan
ation for the decline in activity
on Monday, it was assumed here
that the weather had closed in
again. The attacks against Kis
ka are regarded as pre-invasion,
softening-up raids, preparing the
way for the amphibious expedi
tion that some day is expected
to smash the last Japanese hold
on the American island chain.

cerning national defense with
the intention of having Lehmltz
forward it to Germany, Conroy
said.
De Spretter met with Lehmltz
on a number of occasions, Con
roy related, and gave to him his
observations on shipping in the
New York harbor. Lehmltz was
charged under the wartime es
pionage act with sending such
information, written in Invisible
ink between the lines of innocu
ous letters to persons in neutral
countries, for axis consumption.
Admits Charge
Conroy said that De Spretter
admitted he had obtained most
of his Information in manner
similar to that used by Lehmltz
watching the New York har
bor and activities on the Staten
Island waterfront. Both men
lived on the island.
De Spretter furnished Leh
mltz on one occasion with a copy
of a confidential book published
by an aircraft manufacturing
company which contained de
tailed specifications of its planes
as well as photographic draw
ings. Conroy said. For this, De
Spretter received $100 from Leh
mitz, he added.

When the survey is complete,
confidential records will be
filed at the Klamath County
Welfare commission located In
the Memorial building, and
mothers wishing to place their
children, can go there for a list
of available homes.
However, the commission
does not encourage mothers to
go to work unless it is neces
sary. The service is primarily
for those who have to have a
job.
Nursery School
The Mills school nursery
which It had been hoped would
be open by July 1, has been
held up briefly by formalities,
but should be ready to take
youngsters after the Fourth.
Between 40 and 60 children
of pre-school age, that is, be
tween 2 and 6 years, can be
accommodated at the nursery.
with arrangements for enlarg
ing to 80 if necessary.
Id WPA Rooms
The project will be held In
the same rooms as those for
merly occupied by the WPA
nursery. The initial investment,
the purchasing of extra sup
plies, etc., will be made by the
Soroptimist club, which has
done much in the establishment
of the nursery. Personnel,
which will include a head
teacher with nursery school
training, two assistant teachers,
a cook and a janitor, will be
paid by funds from the Lanham
act and will be under supervi
sion of the board of education.
' The Soroptimist club will
handle the commercial angle of
the nursery project such as set
ting the price for each child
and keeping the books.
With the two projects for
child care working in conjunc
tion, most children whose moth
ers are working, 'should be
taken care of, with pre-school
children of from 2-6 years in
the nursery or private homes
and those older or younger or
who are handicapped in some
way and need special care, also
taken care of in private homes.

according to Domel, all attacks

OWE HALL LAW
EUEDATCOUNCIL
(Continued From Page One)
not be permitted at a public
dance or on the premises unless
accompanied by a parent or legal
guardian. This brought up the
question of how one would be
able to determine the age of the
youngsters, as - some children
look old for their age and others.
who are older, look youncer
than they actually are. Aim
brought up was, would this regit
latlon bar youngsters under 16
from attending high school
dances and affairs such as D Mo
lay puts on during the year. City
Attorney J. H. Carnal. an said
that he did not think that dances
of this nature were public
dances, inasmuch as they were
more or less Invitational and
were not operated for profit.
Councilman A. H. Batsman
said that his conception of a pub
lic dance was any affair to which
admission was charged.
Licensing Hit
Almost the same arguments
arose over the licensing of pub
lic dance halls. The ordinance
states that any lessee or opera
tor of a dance hall or dance must
pay a $50 a year license fee and
exhibit the license somewhere in
the hall. This brought up the
question as to whether school
dances would have to be licensed
or if fraternal organizations
would have to pay the fee. Car
nahan again said that these were
not considered public dances in
his opinion.
The second new provision in
the much debated ordinance was
that anyone leaving a public
dance after 11 p. m. would have
to pay a full admission charge
to get back In. This, Police
Chief Earl Heuvel explained
was to prevent persons from
running In and out of the dance
hall to drink.
Intermissions Hit
A woman In the audience rep
resenting the Eagles auxiliary
wondered how this would affect
intermissions. She said that
their intermissions were at 11:30
o'clock and would they have to
charge the people who came
back after this was over? Mayor
Houston said that Intermissions
could be held a little earlier.
After considerable more dis
cussion on various other parts
of the ordinance, it was put aside
until next meeting. Mayor Hous
ton said that anyone who had
any more questions or griev
ances should appear next Tues
day (Monday, the usual meeting
night, is a holiday), when there
will be a second reading of the
measure.
Bids Opened
Bids for gas and oil to be used
by the city were opened with
low bid for gas going to Associat
ed and those for oil to Union and

both submitted equal prices so
each will get a contract for six
months.
