Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
nN this day of the commissioning of the
u-!,oii, trnil Marino Barracks, it is well
for the people of the community to take stock
of tncir pari in mc .
Barracks program.
One of Oio major reasons
the installation was locat
ed here was because Klamath
Falls was regarded as a good
liberty town. There may be
difference of opinion as to
what represents a good liberty
town, but at any rate it is our
job to make this as good a
town for the marine veterans
of. the Pacific as we can.
Organized programs are not
enough. There must be a great deal of per
sonal interest on the part of the people of the
community, and those who have undertaken
this sort of thing have been well repaid in
pleasant relationships with the marines. The
Barracks administration has been most active
and helpful in promoting the proper community
relationship with the marine corps.
Letters
THIS newspaper has received a number o
letters from marines at the Marine Bar
racks complaining about various features of the
Barracks program. These letters were unsign
ed, arid evidently were written in collaboration.
In composite, the complaints were against the
"chow," taxi fares, hiking, military drills, the
type of work required such as chopping wood,
shoveling dirt, building bridle paths, and fire
fighting. There were several expressions to the
effect that the boys feel they are not being
treated as convalescents.
We understand from what has been stated
publicly about the medical program at the
Barracks that drill and moderate work are a
part of that program, and are designed to
maintain the best possible physical condition
on the part of the men in order to help throw
off the tropical maladies.
It is possible an extension of vocational train
ing for marines, along the lines, of the fine start
made at the high school shops, would be valu
able in giving, additional constructive work to
the lads at the Barracks. ;
At any rate, we would say to the boyr who
wrote us that our personal impression, from an
objective sideline vantage point,: has been that,
the whole Barracks program represents a sin
cere effort on the part of their government,
their Marine Corps, and the post administration,
to do the best thing possible for the men there.
They have given tremendously, and they de
serve tho best,
Good Crock
IN connection with the above-mentioned letters,
we found among them one of the best wise
cracks of the season.
Noting that the marines did most of tho Job
of fighting the big Hogback fire, and put in a
lot of work on several other fires, the boys
asked:
"What we want to know Is, who kept Oregon
green before the marine corps landed here?"
The War Today
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
(Substituting for DeWitt MacKenite)
HITLER'S V-3, as described from France, is
just another rocket, and the only now
things about it are its huge size and its sub
stitution of alcohol for gasoline fuel, and even
the latter is not altogether new.
Sixty feet long, five feet in diameter is the
description. Divided by tlu-ee, it sounds like a
meteorological rocket which Dr. Robert God
dard was firing in New Mexico years before
1939. His was a long cylindrical tube, an air
torpedo in looks.
German rocket experimenters before tho war
were using various fuels, including vpowdor,
liquid oxygen and gasoline. (
The V-3 is said to use liquid air, which is
probably not an important change, as the pur
pose of either liquid sir or of liquid oxygen
is to get enough oxygen to keep the explosive
jet burning to drive the projectile.
Short on Gas?
SUBSTITUTION of alcohol for gasoline could
be a confession of acute oil shortage.
Alcohol certainly would make a fine rocket
fuel, but gasoline contains more heat energy,
volume for volume and weight for weight.
The engine which drove the buzz-bombs to
London evidently has been abandoned for the
V-3. The buzz-bomb draws its oxygen from
the air outside. That would not be possible for
V-3 described. The buzz-bomb flics low. V-3 is
said to start almost straight up, like a long
range artillery shell.
The expected altitude of a V-3 trajectory
would carry it to a point where it could not
efficiently suck oxygen from the air. Hence
it seems to be designed as a true rocket, which
carries its oxygen in its fuel.
The French reports gave no idea of the
amount of explosive in . V-3. Take-qff weight
is 14 tons. Much of this may be fuel, but how
much would depend on the range.
Explosive Radius
THE only information about the weapon's
power is that it has "an explosive radius
of three kilometers," or almost two miles.
But the words explosive radius do not neces
sarily mean very wide destructive power. The
absorbing power "of air is tremendous. At a
distance the air waves are able to do consider
able damage to structures which happen to be
situated just right, but the lethal power is long
gone.
If the V-3 is a short range weapon, 50 miles
or less, the radio control is easy to understand.
If it is long range, the efficiency of radio con
trol is not so easy. A huge rocket of this type
would travel much faster than any airplane,
although maybe the unknown but highly touted
speeds of German rocket planes might be a help
in keeping track of one. ?
Stabilization Essential
To OP A Rental Controls
(Editor's Note: This is the
fourth m a series of articles in
connection with the establish
ment of OPA rent control here
effective October 1.)
By MILO RYAN -
OPA Rent Information Specialist
Stabilization is the essence of
the office of price adrmmstra
tion's rent control program: sta
bilization of the price exacted
by the landlord and paid by the
tenant, and stabilization of hous
ing itself in emergency war cen
Hence the OPA's provisions
regulating evictions.
Evictions are governed by lo
cal law, to bo sure, but the rent
regulations modify local proced
ure to protest the tenant from
those evictions that are contrary
to the purposes of rent control.
So lone as the tenant contin
ues to pay his rent, he cannot
be put out of his home by evic
tion or exclusion. That is the
general principle.
Exceptions Noted
But there are exceptions. A
landlord may serve notice to va
cate if:
1. The tenant fails to pay his
rem,
2. The tenant refuses to renew
a lease.
3. The tenant refuses the land
lord access to the premises for
purposes of inspection or show
ing the place to a prospective
buyer or mortgagor or other in
terested party.
4.. The tenant violates a sub
stantial obligation of tenacy or
commits a nuisance or uses the
dwelling for immoral or illegal
purposes.
Demolition Factor
3. The landlord intends to de
molish the dwelling or to make
such alterations as cannot be
made with any person or persons
in occupancy.
6. The landlord wishes to oc
cupy the dwelling- himself.
In this latter case, a landlord
evicting a tenant for his own
occupancy cannot legally rent
that dwelling again within six
months. Furthermore, this regu
lation applies to the owner's ac
tual occupancy, not that of a
married son or daughter or any
other member of his family.
Slate nnd local law in gen-
,,-ul -fTrnrnr. iUn lm n 1u,lt..4
must give his tenant to pack up
and move, but in. such esses as!
outlined above; the OPA asks a I
minimum of three-days notice, '
' Notice Needed
Whom a dwelling is sold to a
buyer who intends to live there
himself, OPA says that notice of
eviction must be filed with the
rent office arid becomes effec
tive three .months after f ilina.
However, . this applies- only -in j
itisu iue uuyut. iias uiuue a uuwr
payment of at least 20 per cent
of the purchase price, all or part
of which down payment may
have been borrowed on security
other than the property in ques
tion.
The provisions of this regula
tion restricting evictions do not
apply to a subtenant; where the
removal is sought by the. orig
ins landlord. - . .
Nor does the eviction regula
tion apply in the "case of the
landlord who rents rooms in his
own private home to not more
than two Individuals or one fam
ily unit. - In such cases, a land
lord may demand possession of
nis rooms at any time.
Permission must be given
by the rent office to evict on
any other grounds.
In all cases, however, a care
ful landlord, anxious to comply
with rent control regulations,
should consult with the rent of
fice as to the eviction procedure
required of him.
And in all cases, a copy of
me lanaiora s nonce lo nis ten
ant must be fiJ'd with the OPA
within 24 hours after it is given
the tenant.

Summer Constellations
Linger in Western Sky
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer, Gonoral Extemion
Division, Untr. of Oregon
The changes in star positions
and the early "dews nnd
damps" of evening surely tell
us that in the "ever rolling
year" autumn is again with us.
Yet in our October we find
lingering in the west some of
our summer constellations for
a while still available for study.
Do not fail to see the gor
geous planet Venus in the twi
light south of west. Tonight It
outshines everything excepting
the big round harvest moon in
the east. For the remainder of
our study lot us observe be
tween 8 and 9 p. m.
Somewhat north of due west
and still well above the horizon
wc find glittering orange A re
turns, the brightest star of the
"bear driver." At some distance
above and slightly to the left
of this splendid star, note the
small halt circle of twinkling
points outlining the northern
crown. In very clear skies not
too flooded with moonlight
seven little stars are discernible
In this charming figure. One,
considerably outshining her sis
ters, is known as the pearl of
the crown.
Mythical Origins
According to one Greek myth
this is the crown presented by
Athenian Thcssius to Ariadne,
daughter of the king of Crete,
after her scheming had saved
Thessius from the terrible mon
ster in the labyrinthine cave to
which her father attempted to
sacrifice him. Another classical
story names Bacchus as the
donor of the crown after Thcs
seus had deserted Ariadne.
But surely a more pleasing
legend is that of the American
Shawnee Indians. To them the
stars of this charming sky-group
were the Celestial Sisters. One
day White Hawk, a mighty hun
ter, when in search of game
suddenly emerged from the
woods upon an extensive
prairie. He was greatly amazed
when he came upon a large
circular path beaten in the
grass but with no trail leading
from the outside. As ho stood
wondering at the unusual sight,
suddenly there came slowly
floating down from the blue
heavens a silver basket carry
ing several beautiful maidens.
When tho basket came to a stop
on the ground, tho maidens
leaped lightly out and began
dancing around the circujar
beaten path, one keeping time
on a ball of silver.
Back to Sky
White Hawk hurried toward
them, but the Celestial Sisters
for that is who they were
ran swiftly to their basket and
were soon on their way back to
the azure skies where tonight
they shine In the half circle of
stars known to us as the north
ern crown.
Leaving this jeweled crown,
wc point out the remaining
bright stars of evening. Capella
Is flashing colors low In the
north-northeast. Very high in
the south Altntr Is conspicuous
ns the ccntrnl and brlgnest of
a lino of three stars. Slightly
west of overhend Vega shines
In splendor; and very low In
the southwest, Antnres burns
red in farewell to summer.
