Swedes Report
Von Rundstedt
Wounded Slightly
By The Associated Press
The Stockholm-Tidningen said
today that Field Marshal Karl
Gerd Von Rundstedt had been
"slightly wounded," according
to a dispatch reported to OWI.
Tne Swedish newspaper said
Von Rundstedt was reported to
be dissatisfied with the German
offensive in the west because
"too large reserves have been
lost from the beginning.
"Von Rundstedt at first defi
nitely refused to start this haz
ardous offensive, which would
demand the entire German
army's fighting capacity," the
dispatch said.
According to the "German of
ficers' opposition," the Swedish
newspaper declared, the order
ior the German counteroffen
sive was issued by Interior Min
ister Henrich Himmlcr and not
by Hitler, as widely published
in Germany.

COUNCIL n
SALE OF LOTS
IN CITY AREAS
City lots within certain areas
of the city will be withheld
from sale by the city council in
action taken Monday night fol
lowing a request from the plan
ning commission. In a commun
ication from that group, the
areas were termed "blighted" by
the commission and it was the
hope that these sections could
be replatted for beautification.
Areas involved were parts of
Lukevicw, Second and Bucna
Vista additions, in the hitter sec
tion a stretch between Califor
nia avenue and Link river and
Nevada avenue. This is hillside
prr pcrty. It was announced that
the county court has taken simi
lar action at the request of the
commission. ,
A second request made of the
council was from the park board
which asked that block 118,
Mills, be .turned over to the
board for future development.
This block has been used for
recreational purposes but at the
present is rented for S30 per
year by Hcilbronncr Fuel com
pany as a wood yard. The city
owns the property.
Referred to Committee
Councilman Hollin Cantrall
suggested that the request be
referred to the recreational com
mittee with regard to a future
study of play grounds in the
city. Wiesendangcr said that he
felt the time was too short for
him, as retiring councilman, to
do justice to the occupational
tax study and suggested the new
administration take over. Can
trail suggested that Wiesendan
gcr make recommendations to
the new body.
Bill Approved
The bill presented by the
Klamath Heating company and
rejected at last meeting, was ap
proved Monday night. Council
man Angus Newton said the bill
had increased by "leaps and
bounds" since 1936, and sug
gested that a heat conservation
check of city buildings be made.
This matter was turned over to
Paul O. Landry, councilman-elect
from Ward 4.
Keith K. Ambrose, fire chief,
said the upstairs of the fire sta
tion was illy heated and all they
had was "no heat but more bill."
Recommends
Wiesendanger recommended
for future action of the new
council, that the city provide a
spray gun and up to and includ
ing 10 gallons of paint, the cost
to be divided equally between
city and the garbage operators
to paint the fence and house at
the dumpgrounds. The county
bulldozer has cooperated in push
ing cars and refuse into the oil.
City Engineer E. A. Thomas
stated.
Fire Chief Ambrose asked for
an investigation by disinterested
persons in the collision of the
police car and fire truck at 4th
and Main recently. Ambrose
said that on four previous occa
sions the fire truck had "just
about been hit," and this time
the lives of six men were en
dangered. The truck was badly
damaged, ne reported.
Delay Planned
Ambrose said that he intended
to delay calline police in the
future as "we can't afford tak
ing chances." The matter was put
in the hands of the police and
lire committees to report back.
Two resolutions were adopted
ai me request ot the state high
way department which requires
the city to maintain the Marino
Barracks access road stretch just
on Aiameoa and along utd t ort
road, after the work is com
pleted. An ordinance passed the
first and second reading in which
the city entered into a contract
with the department to maintain
tne road.
The council heard the second
reading of the ordinance con
trolling licenses of carnivals, cir
cuses, sideshows, etc.

Referring repeatedly to Gen.
Eisenhower in hitting back at
the acid criticism of opposition
members, Churchill said "a
great battle is proceeding now."
He declined to give a review of
the general war situation on the
ground that Eisenhower was
right in imposing a "temporary
news blackout" on western
front developments.
He reported the situation in
Greece "has greatly improved,"
but refused to elaborate. .

fHURCHILL today faces a

house of commons. There arc
hot exchanges. He hears him
self accused of DECEIVING the
house about Greece and Bel
giumespecially Belgium.
He stands pat and snaps back
that if parliament wants an
immediate review of tho Greek
situation it will have to come
on a vote of CENSURE which
would mean the fall of the
Churchill government. (
His opposition obviously
isn't ready to go that FAR,
.
WfE must remember that in Bel
" gium there has been a situa
tion somewhat similar to that in
Greece though LESS menacing.
It has been almost wholly con
cealed from us by censorship, in
which OUR government has
participated.
Churchill lets slip today that
"precautionary steps" were
taken in November "when
truck loads of ARMED INSUR
GENTS were MOVING ON
BRUSSELS from Mons." .
He adds:
"We were acting under AMER
ICAN Instructions in Belgium"
(in whatever happened there.)

is supreme allied commander
in Europe. Remember also that
an ALL-IMPORTANT battle was
then going on in Belgium. While
he was fighting the Germans
IN HIS FRONT, Eisenhower ob

His motives (in whatever sit

ner in which the children were
handled. Harold W. Christie.
3B12 Denver, nl;o a father of
one of tho girls in the group,
said Hint the high school faculty
should have notified police that
the party would go beyond the
curfew hour, but that llieiu was
a "difference in police picking
up a drunken Indian on Klam
ath avenue, and a group of high
school children brought lo the
police station in a paddy wag
on." "Whoever these nullie officers
were, they should be taken over
the coals." Christie told the :
council, lie further advised that
he had been told the officers j
used language unbecoming to j
police officers.
Needs Intelligence '
A third parent. J. II. Wryn, i
3121 LaVcrnc, congratulated the1
council on passage of "the )u-!
venile law," (apparently refer-1
ring to tho curfew), but that he
wished the council could "ini-'
part some of Its intelligence to i
the polico department. " !
Chief of Police Earl Heuvel :
was asked to express an opinion
and he told the council and
group present that he hud been
requested by the Juvenile auth-;
orities on the Wednesday prior
to the Friday night In question, ;
to round up all juveniles on the
streets, bring them tu the police
station and there turn them over ',
to the county juvenile authori
ties. !
Chief Criticiied
"I have received criticism for
not cooperating with the Ju
venile authorities and that is nut
true, as records will show," the
chief stated. "Saturday night It 1
was too cold, we did not get
many, but when they arc
brought here they are turned
over to Fayc Lucas and Harold
Hendrickson, both county Ju
venile officers who, according to
Judge Vandenbcrg, have sole
Jurisdiction over that. Far bo It
from me not to cooperate with
any other 1 a w enforcement
group. If that language was
used, and I don't doubt it, they
will be dragged over the coals."
Mayor John Houston then ex
plained to the fathers present
that their complaint should go a
little further than the council
and should be placed before the .
proper juvenile authorities.

and steps will be taken lo

mayor said, "but the complaint
