MEMORANDUM OPINION
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OP
THE STATE OP OREGON
IN AND FOR THE COUN
TY OF KLAMATH.
THE STATE OF OREGON,
Plaintiff,
MAE K. SHORT,
Defendant,
The grand jury of Klamath
county brought in three Indict
ments against the defendant,
county clerk of said county,
charging her with willfully,
knowingly and feloniously re
ceiving -from said county for
an official duty a compensation
other than, that authorized and
permitted by law. Two of them
were based upon the proposi
tion that the defendant received
$30.00. and $29.00 respectively
as additional compensation over
and above her salary for extra
election work, while the other
one was predicated on the fact
that she received the sum of
gSO.OO aa -additional compensa
tion in addition to her salary
for overtime, work keeping a
record of the dog licenses for
Use dog commission;
At the hearing on motions to
dismiss the indictments evidence.
was adduced and at the conclu
sion of the hearing a stipulation
was entered into between the
plaintiff and the defendant
herein. It was agreed that the
services mentioned in each of
- the three indictments were ac
tually rendered by the defen
dant for Klamath county, as
over-time and outside of the
statutory fixed office hours of
Ik U -I I . t .1 i .
mjv euu uaBoosni ioa Ulafc gat
submitted claims for said
mounts to the county court of
said Klamath county, Oregon.
which claims -were approved by
Ve county court, and which
toproval was entered in the
furnal of said court and that
Thereupon, upon warrants being
issued, defendant received the
monies represented by said war
rants. It was further stipulated
that the court might pass on the
facts stipulated to determine
whether or not;crimes had been
committed by the defendant and
that if the court should deter
mine no crimes, had been com
mitted, said indictments should
be dismissed with prejudice.
Turning to the two indict
. ments on compensation for elec
tion over-time, we need only to
look to sec. Bl-zos o. C. L. A
1940, which reads in part, "and
each county court shall audit
and pay out of the county treas
ury such fees as the services
performed by the county clerk
and sheriff, under this act,
(elections code) are in the judg
ment of the county court rea
sonably worth,"' to find warrant
for the actions of the defendant
in the premises. Under this stat
utory provision, the defendant
having performed services in
connection with elections and
having submitted- ber claim to
the county court and the county
court having rendered judgment
tnat the sums were reasonably
worth the amounts granted no
crime was committed by the de
fendant in receiving the monies
represented by said claims.
As to the Indictment for re
ceiving compensation for over
time in connection with dog li
censes the indictment charges
the defendant with unlawfully
receiving compensation "for
over-time work in keeping a
record of said dog licenses for
the dog commission," whereas
the stipulation, and the evidence
adduced at the hearing conclu
sively shows that the defendant
. waa annntntpH rritjirv rf th
dog commission by the dog com
missioners and that the' compen
sation' she received, ' to-wit:
$80.00, covered her services' as
such secretary, and since such
services were outside of and
not part of her official duties
as county clerk, under the au
thority of Mousseau vs. Carey,
252 Fac, 324 (Calif.), she had
a legal right to receive such
sum and did not violate the law
in so doing.
Finding that the defendant
has not violated the law in re
spect to the three Indictments,
or either of them, the same Will
be dismissed with prejudice. ,
Dated this 27th day of July,
EARL C. LATOURETTE,
Judge.

ting In reinforcements, and it
was. disclosed that "the bulk of
two Italian field divisions" had
escaped into the bridgehead
from the west. This appeared
to trim down previous official
estimates that 110.000 axis sold
iers had been trapped since the
start of the campaign. "Over
70,000" was the last official
count of prisoners.
Front dispatches said the
Germans were completely in
charg of the strong Etna line
running from San Stefano to
Nicosia, Agira, Catenanuova to
the Dlttaino river and had put
Italian survivors of two field
divisions which escaped the
American encirclement of west
ern Sicily to digging trenches
and preparing road blocks.
Sandwich Italians
The same report, however,
said that "political developments
do not appear yet to have inter
fered with the German habit of
sandwiching Italians in at the
firing line."
It is believed that only a small
number of Italians actually con
tinued as combat troops.
The Canadians driving north-'
west through difficult country
were meeting strong opposition
and engaged in bitter fighting,
todays communique declared.
More prisoners have been
taken, it added, without specify
ing the number.
Explore Line
The British at the outskirts of
Catania sent patrols exploring
the German line, but there was
no sign when Gen. Sir Bernard
L. Montgomery might launch a
powerful new offensive.
American pressure along the
north coast obviously was
mounting against newly estab
lished German positions. The
communique itself had "nothing
to report" from this seventh
army sector.
Flying Fortresses again spear
headed the steady allied air of
fensive against southeastern
Italy and Sicily, bombing Capua
airfield north of Nades for the
first time and destroying three
ot la to go enemy interceptors.

TO TULELAKE
DENVER. July 28 WV-
Around 15,000 Japanese men,
women and children will be
moved to the Tulelake reloca
tion camp in northern California
in September, Dillon S. Myer,
war relocation authority direc
tor, said last night.
Myer attended a conference
here of WRA - representatives
from the ten relocation camps
for persons of Japanese rescent.
Three groups of aliens and
first and second-generation Japanese-Americans
will be placed
at Tulelake, Myer said. First,
those who have requested re
patriation to Japan (Myer esti
mated these and their families
at around 6300); the persons who
have refused or qualified their
allegiance to the United States;
and - those designated as dis
loyal by intelligence records and
investigations.
Klebel
Release from Tulelake can be
obtained only through an appeal
to a special board appointed by
the WRA to hear such cases, or
if transportation can be ar
ranged, some will be deported to
Japan, Myer said.
The "KiebeL" those who have
been educated in Japan, make
up the . largest group of Jap
anese-Americans who will be
sent to Tulelake.
"These are more Japanese, in
culture than many of the aliens
who have lived over here for 30
or. 40 years but were not al
lowed to become citizens," Myer
said.
- . .Outside Canters
More- than one-third of the
Japanese-Americans have been
employed outside the relocation
centers, Myers said. The "Nisei"
and "Sense!," first and second-
generation American citizens of
Japanese descent, number 83
per cent of persons in the re
location centers, he explained.
ine largest number of former
relocation center residents are
employed in Colorado, Utah, and
Idaho, Myer said, although 2000
have settled in the Chicago area
nce March 1, and others are
farther east. Arizona, he added,
has been designated by the WRA
as "closed" to resettlement

key was projected dramatically
into the role of a possible media

Foreign Minister Numan Mene

every indication of secrecy and

after the conference Menemen

Motorists Face
Critical Tire
Shortage, Says OPA
PORTLAND, July 38 W)
American motorists are facing
the most critical tire shortage
since Pearl Harbor, Russell Paul
of the OPA automotive division
in Washington warned today.
Despite the progress being
made in synthetic production, he
told an industry meeting here,
"we are going in the hole about
280,000 truck tires a month, and
for the rest of this calendar year
production of passenger car tires
will be six million short of de
mand." He said the used tire
situation was similar.
Paul estimated tires on the
nation's vehicles are wearing
down eight times as fast as they
are being replaced.

do some high, wide and hand
some guessing' at this point
Reasonable guesses seem to be:
1. The Italian PEOPLE are
weary of a war that has brought
them only sorrow and suffering
and humiliation and want to quit
fighting. They're clearly GLAD
to be rid of Mussolini, who
dragged them into it.
2. They DON'T want to quit
fighting us and then turn right
around and BEGIN FIGHTING
GERMANS. They just want to
quit
8. The new Italian govern
ment would LIKE to make peace
with us (even, maybe, at the
price of unconditional surrender)
but is AFRAID of the Germans,
who still have a strong military
hold on Italy, and would like to
make a dicker with us that will
GET THE GERMANS OUT
without too much shedding of
Italian blood.
rTO these guesses, which seem
to make some sort ot vagus
sense, let's sdd another:
The Germans may have told
the new Italian government that
if it can get them out ot Italy
more or less whole they'll leave
without' venting their anger on
the Italians for washing out on
them.
Henee (maybe) all the dicker
ing that Is obviously going on.
