OREGON YOUNGSTERS PLAY DEAD IN Playing dead may pay divi dends in a foxhole, but four youngsters, ranging from 10 to 12 years of age, performed tne possum act before the wrong cars late Friday night. The four boys stopped various cars on the old Midland road just at the Great Northern shops turn, about 11 p. m. Friday when they lay prone in the middle of the highway. As cars stopped, they Jumped up and ran away. Driver of one car stepped from his machine to look at the "bod ies," and the four scampered for the bushes. Just behind the driver was State Police Officer William Colbert. He took things in hand. The four youngsters, each ac companied by his father and mother, were brought into Ju venile Officer Harold Hendrick son's office Saturday morning and a lecture meted out to all.

The congressional vacation was delayed by a jam of ap propriation bills, running into billions of dollars, which failed of passage by the be ginning of the new fiscal year July 1. Congress also must decide whether it will extend the bituminous coal act, or let it die on the expiration date, August 23. JAP TELLS DIES OF LOYALTY TO U. S. WASHINGTON, July 3 (IP) Mike M. Masaoka, who said .he joined the army to show loyalty to his native America and en mity to ancestral Japan, urged before the Dies committee to day that loyal Japanese-Ameri cans be given "that Chinaman's chance" to stay here after the war." Masaoka, former secretary of the Japanese American Citizens league, also asked present day assistance, saying that the war relocation authority (WRA) "should get more Japanese Americans out of the reloca tion camps and restore them to normal life." A private in the army since June 4, Masaoka said that the relocation agency "should take more firm steps to inform Americans generally of the loy alty of the Japanese Americans in this country. Under questioning of the committee, the house groups on unAmerican activities, he said he does not believe that every member of the league is loyal to the United States, but "at least 90 per cent of them are, As for the pledge of loyalty, he said "some of them might have signed with mental reserva tions."

I have had an opportunity to learn of your effective work and it is a commendable plan. "I know that the soldiers, sail ora and marines who have been benefited by your program will always be grateful for your friendly interest in their wel fare. Mysincerest wishes for the continued progress of your unit. Very truly yours, Governor Earl Snell." Klamath folks who read the San Francisco Chronicle have enjoyed - an article entitled, "Klamath Falls is a City That Knows How." It has to do with the bringing of the bay area wounded men to this city to "find out about Oregon hospi talityprepaid." The story says, in part: "Here s a little story to make all of us, who live in areas near military and naval hospitals, wonder what's the matter with our hearts and heads that we failed to think of a morale creat ing plan so well worked out by 30 young business girls in Klam ath Falls, Oregon. "Living hundreds of miles distant from Mare island and Letterman, these girls who call themselves Commandos, each month pay all expenses for four fighters now recovering from ineir combat injuries to make a trip by train to Klamath Falls." The local Commando unit is rapidly receiving nation-wide recognition for their work. Long-Missing Klamath Boy Now Prisoner of Japs (Continued From Page One) marine corps.

(Continued From Page One) around Salamaua, other medium bombers attacked Japanese po sitions at Kela point and along the trail to Logui village, start ing fires and explosions. They also silenced some anti-aircraft positions. For the second successive day the Trobriands and Woodlark islands were not mentioned in the official communique, but a headquarters officer comment ed that in this case no news probably is good news." From this it was believed that these operations had been completed. No Japanese counter-attack whatever has been reported. SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA. July 2 (Delayed) (IP) Allied forces in the Nassau Bay sector have reached a point from which they can see the big enemy base at Salamaua from peak -positions. Australian troops pushing eastward across Komiatum track, although under fire from Japanese artillery established in the vicinity of Kela Point, gain ed advantageous positions on ridges near Francisco river. American troops which had landed on the shores of Nassau Bay June 30 contacted the Aus tralian infantry force which was moving along the Mubo-Duali track to reach the coast at the mouth of the southern arm of the Bitoi river. HITS AXIS IN JUNE LONDON, July 3 (IP) A rec ord weight of 15,000 tons of bombs was dropped on Europe in June by British-based planes of the RAF, the air ministry an nounced today as the allied air offensive went into the third day of a new month with only sec ondary attacks reported. Southeast coastal observers said a strong force of British air craft, -apparently including bombers, headed across the chan nel last night, but there was' no immediate authoritative an nouncement. The German communique said allied planes flying singly drop ped a few bombs in western Ger many near the frontier, damag ing buildings. The high com mand asserted that 614 British and U. S. planes were destroyed over Germany and occupied ter ritory - in June, including 408 four-engined bombers. During daylight yesterday RAF ,Boston bombers laid explo sives across railway targets at Ghent and Courtrai, in Belgium, and Lille, France, while RAF typhoons sent flames shooting up 100 feet from an oil storage tank near Ijmulden, Holland. German planes stabbed toward Britain last night for the first time in a week. The ministry of home security said one was de stroyed off the south coast. Crater Lake Rim Not Open Over July Fourth Holidays MEDFORD, July 3 (IP) The Crater Lake National park high way between headquarters and the lake rim will not be open for the July Fourth weekend, Supt. A. P. Leavitt said today. He said the park's depleted force had been unable to get all drifts cleared in time and that visitors would have to walk about a mile and one-half over snow from headquarters io reach the rim. Jealous Miner Kills Divorcee, Self CANYON CITY, Ore., July 3 UP) Jack Campbell, 60, eastern Oregon miner, fatally shot Mil dred Lennon, 39, Canyon City, early today and turned the gun on himself. Sheriff I. B. Hazel tine said. He died shortly after noon today in a local hospital. Sheriff H a r e 1 1 i n e said the shooting appeared the result of a fit of jealousy. Campbell, a resident here for 10 years, had been rooming at the home of Mrs. Lennon, a divorcee, and her three children.. Mill, Warehouse Burns in Corvallis CORVALLIS, Ore., July 3 (IP) Fire, believed to have been in cendiary, early today entirely destroyed Fischer's mill and warehouse company buildings and contents on First street.

EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued From Page One) by big British bombers at the other end and by planes from a British carrier in between. "THE July 3 "der tag" that Ber lin has been shouting about via radio for weeks passes and still no invasion soap. The Rome radio perks up and boasts: "Wu are preparing for a 30-years war." One guesses that's addressed to the Germans in the spirit of "don't spank, we'll BE GOOD." "THE German "invasion-lmmi-V nent" propaganda seems to be aimed at building up the hopes of the conquered peoples and then DASHING them.) A CTION on the Russian front today is reported to be the liveliest for some time, with the Russians apparently taking the bulk of the initiative. The Ger mans are reported massing troops on the Crimea side of the Kerch strait, suggesting that they may be planning a new push into the Caucasus. The big question mark is why they haven't started pushing sooner. TTHERE'S nothing new today on the Chinese story that the Japs are rushing troops to Man churia for an attack on Siberia. (The story is probably moon shine, but don't ignore it wholly. It MIGHT happen.) If it did happen, it would be likely, to mean thai we have a deal of some sort on with Russia and the Japs know about it. rXN the home front, congress backs off from forbidding price - roll back subsidies and starts putting together a new and milder bill after FDR vetoes the former and tougher one. Because of the obvious (polit ical) weaknesses of our price holding policy as so far de veloped, the subsidy method in some form or other is probably about the only hope left of hold ing the price line just as the tragic delaying operation at Ba taan was all that was left after it became apparent that we hadn't provided military strength enough in the Philip pines to hold against the Japs. Nazi Propaganda Attempts Heavy Humor on Invasion LONDON, July S (IP) Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, in a heavy-handed at tempt at ironic humor, used the Paris radio today for a series of reports of an allied "invasion" army after flatly announcing that axis enemies had chosen July 3 for an assault on France. The broadcasts apparently were designed to ridicule allied plans of attack against Europe and, at the same time, to show the Germans could be light heart ed about such matters. Fund Apportionment Made to Counties The annual apportionment of the interest from the irreduc ible school fund, less by approx imately $4000 than that for the last fiscal year, was made to day to Oregon counties, Lesis Griffith, secretary of the state land board, announced this morning. On the total of $321,419.56 distributed to schools on the basis of $1.21 per school-age child, Klamath county will re ceive $14,006.06 and Lake coun ty $1,937.21. General Giraud En Route to U. S. ALGIERS, July 3 (IP) Gen. Henri Giraud is en route to the United States, it was dis closed today. The French committee of Na tional Liberation disclosed Tues day that it had decided that Giraud, its co-president and the French commander-in-chief should be permitted to visit Washington in response to an invitation from President Roose velt. Gen, Charles De Gaulle is to preside at all sessions during his absence. , SENATE SLOWS CCC BILL ROLLBACK FUND (Continued From Page One) enccs that he had been unable to obtain an agreement on pro cedure which would expedite consideration of the bill passed by tha house yesterday after President Roosevelt had vetoed a measure killing the roll back program and the veto had been sustained. Full Retreat Congress appeared In full re treat today from its once over whelmingly strong stand against government subsidized retail price rollbacks. President Roosevelt put the issue squarely up to the law makers yesterday by vetoing a bill which started out as legis lation to continue the commod ity credit corporation (CCC) for another two years, then grew into a proposal outlawing the administration's program to pay processors so prices to the con sumer could be cut. Though both branches had passed this bill by huge ma jorities, the house refused to override the veto. The senate put off action until today with sentiment growing for some curb on subsidies, rather than outright prohibition. Limit Proposed Senator Taft (R-Ohlo) said he would propose limiting CCC's subsidy payments to $230,000, 000 for the next six months an amount he declared was sat isfactory to the administration for financing the price rollback on meats, butter and coffee. The cave-in started after Mr. Roosevelt charged in his veto message that the action "blacks out the program to reduce the cost of living." Mr. Roosevelt said he would not be responsible for holding the line against inflation if his veto were overridden. He has in sisted that unless prices come down, demands for higher wages would multiply and the nation's economy would be caught in a vicious cycle.
