KGG GROUP
CRITICAL YEAH
SALEM Naming Charles E.
Ogle, long-time Klamath county
forest fire protection loader, as
executive secretary of Keep Ore
gon Green, and warning Oregon
residents they face the most
critical forest fire season since
the start of the war, KOG ex
ecutive committeemen this week
made plans for the most in
tensive fire prevention program
in the five years ot tne orgamza.
"With the demands of the
military services requiring every
ble-bodied man under draft age,
the difficulty in securing ade
quate equipment, and the threat
of enemy incendiary devices
challenging the fire fighting or
ganizations of the west coast, it
is more necessary than ever to
reduce the man-caused fires to
a minimum," said Edmund
Haves, of Keen Oregon Green.
Chairman Hayes, speaking for
Governor Snell and the executive
committee, said that an early
start would be made this year in
perfecting the state-wide Keep
Green organization, and that
county chairmen and workers
would be named by Governor
Snell shortly. Serving on the
executive committee with Chair
man Hayes are the following
N. S. Rogers, Salem, vice chair
man; Paul m. uunn, corvams;
H. J. Cox and Arthur W
Priaulx, Eugene; and W. H. Horn
ing, John Kunns, u. u. scou,
Paul M. Stevens, Stuart Aloir,
and Edward P. Stamm of Fort-land.
"We feel fortunate in being
able to secure Mr. Ogle for our
secretary," said Hayes. "He has
had long experience in fire pre
vention and protection work,
Having served lor years in liaam
ath county under Jack Kimball
Since 1935 he has been district
warden of the Klamath Forect
Protective association, covering
parts of Klamath, Lake and Jack
con counties, and secretary
manager since the death of Kim
ball, getting his start with the
same organization back in 1913.
He was bom at Klamath Agency,
Oregon, in 1894."

DRESS
OF
RED CROSS NOT
REPO
T
Regarding alleged sains of
surgical dressings produced by
volunteer workers of the Ameri
can Red Cross:
Should any inquiries come to
you concerning these alleged
sales as a result of an article ap
pearing in the February 26 issue
of Time Magazine, you will find
the answers to them in the fol
lowing letter signed by Chair
man Basil O'Connor. This letter
was in reply to a similar situa
tion brought up in an article ap-
f tearing in the Journal of Amer
can Medical . associations, but
applies to any such questions
concerning the Red Cross volun
teer surgical dressings program.
"The fact of the matter is that
the two dressings offered for
sale are not Red Cross dressings
but were purchased from com
mercial concerns. The surgeon
general's office 'probably uses
one hundred or more different
types of surgical dressings but
only eleven of .those have been
furnished by the Red Cross and
in recent months we have been
making only three types.
"None of the Red Cross dress
ings have been salvaged by the
war department. On i the con
trary, during the past three
weeks we have had a request
from the surgeon general to fur
nish an additional forty-three
million dressings and the gauze
for those is now being purchased
for us by the war department.
We will probably be requested
to furnish additional quantities
during the coming months..
"Under a law recently enacted
by congress controlling the dis
posal of governmental agencies
of surplus property acquired in
connection with the war effort,
no surgical dressings, garments,
or other items processed, pro
duced, or donated by the Ameri
can Red Cross may be disposed
of except after consultation with
the American Red Cross. If dur
ing or at the close of the war it
develops that any of the dress
ings or garments produced by
the Red Cross are not needed by
the war or navy departments,
we will undoubtedly request
that these supplies be returned
to us to be used in connection
with our own program here and
abroad."

Photographer Tells Story
Of Famed Suribachi Flag
Picture, Trip Up Mountain
(Editor's Note: The picture of
a group of United States ma
rines raising the flag atop Mt.
Suribachi on the south end of
Iwo island has been acclaimed
all over the nation as one of
the most dramatic pictures of
the war. The photographer who
took that picture is Joe Rosen

tached fellow who will go any
where to record a stirring ac
tion. Here, for the first time,
he tells the background of the
