COURTS STAND
BY PROTESTS
(Continued from Page One) '
U. E. Recder, a member of the
state board of forestry, will go
to a Salem meeting of the board
this week to ascertain if the
state has funds to purchase the
Shevlin-Hixon lands offered in
this exchange.
Stat Plan Suggested
This was in line with a sug
gestion made by Forrest Cooper,
Lakeview attorney at the meet
ing, that the state might buy
the Shcvlin-Hixon lands, and tile
forest service, instead of ex
changing timber for the property,
could sell timber to the com
pany on a cash basis. This
would give the counties their 25
per cent of the sale price. Reedor
intends, if the state does not have
sufficient money .for the pro
posed deal, to discuss the pos
sibility of county help in such a
purchase.
Frank Folsom of the regional
forest office, at the request of
the two courts, gave-estimates
yesterday of the amounts which
Klamath and Lake counties may
receive from national forest tim
ber sales, grazing fees, and other
revenues, tor tne next iu years.
His estimate was 5678,900 for
Klamath county, as compared
with $244,447 in the last ten
years. For . Lake county, . ne
torecast county revenues from
forest sources at $672,931 for
the next decade, compared with
$190,833 in the last ten years.
Folsom emphasized .that it is
difficult to arrive at exact fig
ures for the future, in view of
the war and other changing con
ditions, but the amounts listed
are what can reasonably be ex
pected. He and O. F, Erickson,
of the forest service, again point
ed out that the land exchange
program means selective cutting
on the Shevlin-Hixon lands, and
that eventually a new stand
there will be of great financial
benefit to the count;-.
Already operating
It was also brduaht out in the
discussion that Shevlin-Hixon is
already operating on the land In
volved in this transaction, but
that it has not yet started opera
tions In areas in another land
exchange which the company
and the forest service have un
der consideration.
Taylor, former Klamath lum.
berman now with WPB, indicat
ed he was seriously concerned by
me action or me court. i nis
can't wait indefinitely," he said.
"We want to keep this company
in full production so long as the
lumber is needed for the war ef
fort." , .. .
Skepticism Expressed
After the meeting, some skep
ticism was expressed over the
possibility, of a state forest pro
gram on the land in this tran
saction, due to the fact it is in
termingled with U. S. forest land
and other alleeedlv imfavnrahle
factors. Court members indicat
ed, however, they would not
consider withdrawing their pro
tests until they have discussed
the matter with the state for
ester. No word has been received
from the federal land office as
to what procedure is to be ex
pected in connection with the
courts protests to that office. It
is presumed here, however, that
a, hearing will be held in Lake
view. ...... ... ..
Courts of. both counties were
present at the; meeting, as well
as a number of lumber officials
and interested local peopli, Mar
ius Petersen, former Lake coun
ty. lumberman., now living in
KlSmath. county, injected an un
expected ancle into thn M
sion when he bitterly criticized
the forest service in connection
with his dealings with the serv
ice in Lake county,

Observing that "Marshal Sta

his obligations to the allies,
Churchill said he would not at
tempt to "set limits to the suocrb
and titanic events" unfolding on
the eastern front.
I can only sav." ho said, "that
it is certain that the whole east

the long front in Italy, where 27
German divisions are still held
by no more than their numboV,

is reached."
Yank Losses
Declaring Von Rundstedt's
winter offensive was more like
ly to shorten the war than
lengthen it, he said the Ameri
cans "have lost 60 to 80 men for
every one of ours" in stopping it.
With only one British army
corps engaged while all the rest
of 30 or . more divisions were
American, he said this was the
greatest American battle and vic
tory of the. war and that "it is to
American homes that the tele

PIRATE
MAYOR
AT
GITY CHARTER
Mayor Ed Ostondorf, address
ing tho Klamath Kiwenls club
Thursday, declared the Klamath
city charter "Is as obsolete as
our city hall useful but not
economical."
Oslcndorf took the swat at
the charter in a talk outlining
some of the things confronting
the city as he takes over as its
head. He and other city offl
clnlsXwcre presented at the Ki
wanis session for short talks.
The mayor said that the city
is in need of a new charter and
that its ordinances also need
codification. Ho urged more citi
zen interest in general city af
fairs. . , .
Discussing the industrial out
look of tho cityi the mayor stated
that the community must offer
prospective new industries cheap
manufacturing costs, including
low cost power. He said ho was
not speaking of public power,
but that certainly low-cost pow
er is essential.
Klamath Falls, said Oston
dorf, is on the crossroads of
transportation,- and assured the
Klamath county chamber of
commerce his support in its ef
forts to obtain favorable rate
adjustments for this area.
The new mayor urged sup
port of local wildlife organiza
tions, and discussed the im
portance of tourist promotiqn.
He said the finances of Klam
ath Falls are In excellent con
dition, and gave credit to the
city bond committee and city
treasurer.
Discussing law enforcement,
Ostendorf Indicated that he
might soon have, an important
announcement td make regard
ing a chief of police appoint
ment. He said that the police
chief office needs a nun of ex
perience with outstanding repu
tation and character.
- In discussing aviation, Osten
dorf said that the city will need,
a new civilian airport for pri
vate flyers, inasmuch as the big
municipal airport will probably
require two-way radios on land
ing planes, and will be used
largely by commercial and mili
tary planes.
Police Judge Harold Francy
spoko briefly, urging especially
that people take an interest in
city affairs. He said he had
seen the council chamber jam
med to the walls, when a. dog
question was up for consider
ation, but that the city budget
goes through without a single
visitor -being present.
Former City Treasurer Ruth
Bathiany gave a review of the
city's financial progress, point
ing out that the net bonded debt
has been reduced to a little over
$300,000.
Various city officials were in
troduced by former Mayor John
Houston, chairman of the day.

fore the dog was shipped.
Early said Elliott described
the dog a a "friendly sort m
creature" that would mil require
boxing or crating.
No Priority Aikad
"lie luft no request for any
priority," Early said. '"I'lie
president knew nothing about it.
No one here knew anything
about It until, the press stories
appeared. No ono nolo gave it
a priority."
Apparently the priority .was
put on a eiiilu for the dug here
in Washington, Karly emiimucil.
without clarifying who may hvc
done so,
While Early was talking with
newsmen, Secretary of War
Stimson was asked about the
story at his news conference,
lie replied:
"Miitaka"
"I should say that somewhere
down the lino somebody has
made a mistake."
Sltmson cxpliuncd that lie had
"received no word of that mat
ter except with tho assistance
of the press."
When Early was asked wheth
er any steps were being taken
to punish tho persons responsible
for , the priority "bumping" of
the' service men, he replied In
tho negative. And certainly, he
said, nothing will bo dono "bout
Seaman Leon Leltoy, one o( tho
trio put off tho army transport
at Memphis. It was Leltoy who
first disclosed the wholo affair
at his home at Antloch, Calif.,
yesterday, ills mother had snlrt
the matter "sort of frightens us"
and expressed concern lest her
boy's status In the navy be af
fected. ; .
Early said he -was not sure,
but that perhaps army rcgula
tlons required crating of tho dog.
And, replying to a question, he
said he thought the army and
navy both always transport per
sonal possessions o( their men
but ho did not know whether this
applies . to air transportation.
Inquiring of an arm and navy
officer standing near by whether
that was correct, the presidential
secretary was told the sorviccs
pay for one move of personal ef
fects during wartime,
Major General Harold L.
George, commander of the army
air transport command, said a
preliminary Investigation
showed that "an error In ludg-;
ment had been made" In giving
the dog a top priority.
George, who conducted the In
quiry, said he would "take
measures to correct the pro
cedure so that similar mistakes
could not occur in the future."
