PAGE TWO HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON A ii trust 8, 1048 COMMONS TOLD I'.'.. OF SHIP DEAL WITH STATES LONDON. Aug. 3 (P) Prime MlnUter Churchill told the house of commons today that President Roosevelt has prom ised to turn over to Great Brit ain between ISO and 200 American-constructed ships on which work already has started. A letter which the prime minister read in the house ex plained that the process of handing' over the ships would be spread over a 10-month-pe riod. Churchill also disclosed that the Canadian government was making similar arrangements concerning ships built in Can ada. . . , . He told commons this would absorb the reserves of trained seafaring population and the : resources -of both the United States and Britain would be "economically and providential ly applied to the main purpose of the war." . Churchill's statement recalled a -recent Washington announce ment that some ships would be placed under the British flag because of a temporary short age of ships' crews in the Unit ed States. Churchill said there was- no financial arrangement and that the matter would be dealt with by the usual method that things were used to a common advan tage. - The letter disclosed that early in the war it was decided for the United States "to be. the predominant cargo shipbuilding area for us both, while your country was to devote its facili ties and resources principally to the construcion of combat ves sels." Doughton Returns To Washington as Tax Talk Buzzes WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 WV Chairman Doughton (D-N.C.) of the tax-framing house ways and means committee cut short his vacation and returned to the cap ital oday amid renewed discus sions for and against a sales tax as a source of extra money for the war effort.

Roosevelt's Seven Point Proposal Told As Badoglio Stalls (Continued From Page One) occupation of the peninsula was in full swing today, with the combined American, British and Canadian armies launching the final push to drive axis forces from the Sicilian northeastern trianglean area no larger than Cape Bon, where the Germans and Italians met their final dis aster in North Africa. Badoglio apparently was striv ing feverishly to maintain his government at all costs telling the Italian people on one hand that he is doing everything in his power to obtain a fair peace while issuing veiled threats of continued defiance for consump tion abroad on the other hand. Reports from neutral countries expressed doubt, however, as to just how much Badoglio could count on Italian military forces if he attempted to resist an allied invasion. T TO EDGE OF (Continued From Page One) nese stronghold at Salamaua un der artillery bombardment for the first time. These new successes were re counted today in communique which also told of a one-sided aerial victory over the Japanese, of the firing of an enemy de stroyer, and of a heavy bombing of the Buin-Faisi harbor and the Kahili airdrome, the enemy s major operating base in the Solomons. The Munda advance, a general movement along the whole line, took the Americans to within at least 1,400 yards of the air drome. It may have carried them as close as 700 yards, for their last previously reported positions were within 1,900 yards of the airfield at one point. The communique said con siderable quantities of materials were captured. EDITORIALS ON . NEWS (Continued From Page One) criminals and release of allied prisoners.

W i. .iint- Ley. the German labor front leader, says as to Hamburg's de struction: "There's nothing for Germany to do but to fight to the finish. The nation is bound in evitably to national socialism wherever the party steers the ship of state, we must go. If it sinks, all must drown. There is NO escape." TJE'S telling the Germans, you n see, that they're rats in a trap and HAVE to fight or oe butchered. That's obviously the new nazi propaganda line.. By pointing out hard terms to be imposed on Italy, nazi DNB hopes to frighten the Germans into fighting to the death. That's the only possible out for the nazis. "IN our always disturbing, never very reassuring, home front, the Harlem riots subside. The harvest, as .reported in to day's dispatches, is five dead, 945 injured and property damage ex ceeding $5,000,000. If we read of such things In Germany, we'd be comforted Im mensely by the seeming prospect, of impending break-up of our enemy. There will be similar comfort in the Harlem riots for the Germans, who aren't familiar with our peculiar political in stitutions such as stirring up class and race hatreds in the hope of snaring votes. WE know that such activities by our vote-chasing demagogue politicians are back of these troubles in Harlem, Detroit and elsewhere, but unfortunately the Germans DONT. Classified Ads Bring Results. Phone 4514 FOR DRUGS Drug Store" ' Phone 4514 RODPS PUSH MUNDA FIELD T I IN INDUCTION Br The Associated Press WASHINGTON, Aug. S Only a handful of states can get through October without some drafting of pre-Pearl Harbor fathers now that selective serv ice has lifted the ban against it, an unofficial survey indicated today. Many states reported they were scraping the bottom of the manpower barrel and if they are to meet October quotas, fathers heretofore deferred for depend ency reasons alone must go into uniform. Draft headquarters authorities expressed regret that the step had to be taken, asserted every means would be exhausted first before general induction would proceed. None would predict however that men with families would still be civilians much after November 1, unless, of course they were engaged in essential occupations, or farming, or local boards ruled their In duction would bring severe hard ship to their wives and children. A number of states were un willing to forecast the course of induction in their localities, pending clarifying orders from the national headquarters. Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt announced yesterday the lifting of the ban on induc tion of fathers whose children were bom before September IS, 1942. He emphasized however that the local boards should call up fathers after October 1 only to the extent "absolutely re quired" to meet their quotas. It was estimated that perhaps 300,000 family men actually would be inducted this year. To get this many into uniform, what with rejections, it probably would be necessary to send 450, 000 to the induction centers. Married men still in civilian life average 30.5 years of age and the rejection rate was expected to be high.

Eight Thousand Klamath Cars Have Five-Dollar Sticker Almost eight thousand cars In Klamath county now bear the S3 auto use tax stamp, accord ing to postoffice officials. The total number of stamps issued during the latter part of June and during July was 7897. Fifty-eight stamps were sold yesterday to owners who have not used their cars during July or June, but who intend to use the cars in August and later. These stamps cost $4.59, one- twelfth of the original cost being aeauciea. Postoffice officials attributed the large number of August stamp sales to reports that office ol internal revenue representa tives are checking cars for viola tions. If cars are found in he without stamps, the owners must Duy one, and may be fined for the violation. Order Restored to Harlem District NEW YORK.
