PAGE! TWO DAIRYMEN ASK HIGHER PRICE ON BUTTERFAT (Continued from Page One) with the present demand and prlea for feed, and with buyers in the country seeking cows for herds in California and else where, there is no practical rea son why they should stay with a continuously losing proposi tion. Some of them said they had stayed in so far only be cause of loyalty to the country and the community. Losses run ning into thousands of dollars were reported. ' It was reported that 76 milk cows were bought and shipped out of the Klamath milkshed last Criticise OPA There was general criticism of the OPA at the meeting,- with speakers expressing the opinion that the OPA ceiling did not take into consideratlori all the factors Involved in the dairyman's cost situation. Some opinion was voiced that tne persons who set the ceiling did not know enough about the dairy business. The meeting, however, lacked the bitterness which has report edly characterized similar gath erings In other Oregon commun ities where dairymen at this time are generally agitating against OPA ceilings. The Klamath pro ducers said they did not want to take any radical action, but In listed relief would have to come or disposal of milk cows was bound .to follow the start, of feeding in September. iee I "BtJ The Dalles Viewed -. It was reported that at The illes. where dairymen had asked for relief, the butterfat ceiling was raised from 85 cents to 95 cents. The Klamath dairymen consid ered asking for $1.10. but it was decided to cut the request to $1 as the absolute minimum figure, and to oppose any compromise on a lower price. ' Lee Holliday, who presided at the meeting, was authorized to appoint a commit tee to work with distributors in seeking relief from the OPA. No OPA officials were present at the meeting. ' Allen Statement David Allen, price specialist for the local OPA office, made the following statement Thurs day concerning the Klamath milk price situation: OPA will consider an adjust ment of the price ceiling on milk only on the basis of a specific and authenticated showing that a continuation of the present ceiling will result in a shortage of mUk, and that this shortage Will be corrected by raising the price. ' Show Hardship Producers would also have to show that financially they are suffering substantial hardship as compared with . their position previous to price control. - Allen said that no adjustment could be made on the basis of hearsay. He said the OPA of fice here has forms available up on which cost statements may be formally given. A comparative profit and loss statement must also be given and OPA offered its help In preparing such state ments. Allen added OPA is willing to hold a meeting on the matter. Pulp Paper Scarcity May Harm War Effort NEW YORK; Aug. 12 UPt The American Newspaper Pub lishers association said today in an analysis of the paper scarcity that maximum efforts would be necessary "to avert not only a calamity to the pulp and paper industry of the United States and Canada but serious Impair ment of the war effort." "The products of the Industry have a much higher degree of es sentiality than is generally rec ognized, especially In some gov ernment circles in both coun tries," the ANPA said in a bul letin sent to members. rr.Tn Last Day "Kennel Murder Case" "Gambling Lady" NEW TOMORROW TESTING PLANES tebomb the axisl 2ND ACE HIT "Billy the Kid Rides Again" , - Starring Buster Crabbe ' as Billy The Kid rCEE L Cavalry Units Begin Maneuvers SundayN BEND, Aug, 12 (P) Oregon State guard cavalry units will start summer maneuvers Sua day In the Metolius area at Allen Springs, Maj.

FOR TAX REFUND SALEM, Aug. 12 The Ore gon tax commission and county judges of two counties in which large military camps are located appealed today to a house pub lic lands sub-committee for re imbursement by the government of taxes lost to the counties when the government takes over pri vate lands. Charles Galloway, chairman of the state tax commission, told the committee at a hearing here today that operations of county; city and other local govern ments are "seriously Impaired" by government acquisition of lands. He said tne government now owns 60 per cent of all land in the state of Oregon. - The state government, how ever, is not impaired because the state functions are financed by Income taxes.
