Triamafh pnnnlv court mem
bers said today they will await
a further report trom me state
forester's office before anything
more will be done in connection
with the Shevlin-Hixon land ex
change transaction in northern
Klamath county.
Yesterday, the court discussed
the possibility of slate or county
acquisition of the Shevlin-Hixon
land involved in an exchange
with the forest service which the
Klamath and Lake courts arc
opposing. The state forest of
fice is expected to prepare maps
and other data concerning the
land and further action will then
be considered.
In yesterday's newspaper
story, it was stated that the two
county courts are opposing an
other proposed land exchange
between Shevlin-Hixon and the
forest service, indicating the sec
ond will be larger than that now
planned. It will be larger, in
sofar as Klamath county land
is concerned, inasmuch as it will
involve about 13,000 acres of
land in this county. In the cur
rent exchange, the Klamath acre,
age Involved is 8436, but the
acreage in the two counties is
17,553.

Anti-Closed Shop
Amendment Out
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 M
The house military committee
was reported late today to nave
removed an anti-closed shop
amendment from the manpow
cr legislation it has under con
sideration. The action was reported by
members who temporarily left
the closed session.
The amendment, vigorously
opposed by organized labor, had
been put in the bill last Mon
day sy li io iu voie.
It was drawn to permit a man
ordered by his draft board to
work ,in a closed shop without
joining a union.
T
Pvt. Richard E. Thurbcf, ma
rine at the Barracks here,- was
given a summary court martial
Wednesday and punishment
meted out after he was turned
over to the military by civil au
thorities who have held- him
since he was arrested for break
ing into Marie's Sandwich shop
near 7th and Klamath several
weeks ago.
Thurber was given 60 days in
the brig, a fine of 520 a month
for five months, and extra police
duties for two months. He was
tried in the court martial on a
charge of scandalous conduct
and drunkenness.
Circuit Judge David R. Van
denberg granted probation to
Thurber until he was turned
over to the marine authorities.
The judge's action followed a
recommendation by District At
torney Clarence Humble, who
pointed out that the boy had
served on Guadalcanal and Ta
rawa and had a clean military
record.
Thurber had already been in
the county jail 37 days, and has
made restitution to the sandwich
shop for damage done there.

from the Klamath naval air sta
tion, starting at 7 p. m. Before
the big game and between

A subsequent announcement
said that Marshal Ivan S. Ko
nev's first Ukraine army had
killed 60,000 of the enemy and
captured 21,000 in the first 10
days of the drive, but these fig
ures apparently overlapped
those issued previously.
While these are large losses,
they do not altogether suggest
a rout when it is remembered
they are spread over a 400-milo
front. Furthermore, it must be
remembered they represent only
a fraction of the 1, 800,000 or
more men the Germans are esti
mated to have on the eastern
front.
German intelligence officers
doubtless have known for some
time that the Russians were
massing men and supplies for
their current offensive, and it is
logical to suppose that the nazi
high command made certain dis
positions to meet it.
