Basilan, the new island in vaded, is a dozen miles south of Mindanao on the way to Borneo. EDITORIALS ON NEWS ' (Continued From Page One) house of representatives from the Far West produces more statemen per gross ton than the membership from the states that are close to Washington. There is a definite and practical reason why this may be so. The Far West is REMOTE from Washington and relatively few constituents can spare the time and money to run back to the national capital every few weeks or months to demand per sonal service from their con gressmenwho are thus left comparatively free to improve themselves and increase their ef fectiveness in the discharge of their larger duties and responsi bilities. The people of the states within overnight radius- are re stricted by none of these in hibitions of time and space and cash, and go. descend upon their congressmen in swarms, leaving them little time for their weightier responsibilities to their districts and to the nation as a whole. WE of the Klamath Basin have before us at the moment an interesting example of these larger responsibilities or. a con-sressman. If this Pit river water di version project gets out of hand that is to say, if it should get a favorable or even a lukewarm report from the army engineers congress will Be our last reson for protection of our vital in terests, and we will want all of the time and all of the energy and all of the ability of Congress man Stockman and Congressman Engle to head it off and save for us what is ours. We won't want them to be swamped in a vast and sticky mass of detail. Fortunately, they won't be. Due partly to personal ability and in other part to a forbearing and Dublic-spirited constituency, they are being left with enough free time to make of themselves efficient representatives of their districts as a wnoie.

More Waves Needed, Says Recruiter Enlistment of Waves In Ore gon will be nearly double what they have been for the past three mouths as the result of the as signment by the navy of in creased quotas for tne state, an nounced A. C. Frlescn of the Klamath Falls navy recruiting station,, which handles Wave ap plications in this area. After sharp curtailment of Wave recruiting in the past three months, during which only a small number was enlisted each week in the 13th naval district, enlistment programs have been stepped up here to meet the new demands for feminine bluejack ets.

CONGRESSMAN SAYS LIVING L STANDARD By HOWARD FLIEOER WASHINGTON, March 1U (P) Rep, Kngol (li-Mich.) camo up to day with another of bin one-man investigations to report: Millions of low-lncmue Amort can families "will turn too social ism, communism or some iilhor 'Ism,' " unless something is dune soon to plvn thorn a decent war time living ntundard. Ills recommendation: Better salaries and reduced In come tuxes to give them a pur chasing power abreast of in creased living costs. Kngcl Is In the habit nf digging deep and alone into the ills of tho nation and reporting his con clusions to congress. Today he give the house n 22-pnge report on what he learned about fami lies who have gone through the war with little or no more In come than they had five or six years ago. inee people, he said, have been allowed 15 per cent wago Increases under tho Little Steel formula. But their Income taxes havo gone up 1 2 4 per cent and living costs from 30 to 48 ner cent. As one solution, he nut In a bill to restore 1B40 Income tax exemptions for the low-Income group. That would give a $2000 exemption to a head of a fam ily and an SHOO exnmntion to an individual. Present exemptions ara a flat $500 a person. 80,000 Germans Run for Rhine (Continued From Page One) through) division of tho third army had broken across the Naho river toward tho west bank city of Mainz, smu.ihcd a furious counterattack, and was still running high, wide and handsome. Coblcnz finally was cleared. The famous fourth armored division raptured Sprendllngen and moved closest to Mainz, and Patton's tenth armored division sprinted within 19 miles north west of Kalscrslauten, a key German buse of 81,000 in the Polatinnte. Tho seventh army, - moving more slowly but up to six miles a day through Siegfried line for tifications between besieged Saarbrucckcn and tha Rhino, closed within 26 miles of Kai ser.ilautern. The third army captured Dll llngcn and its great steel mill and crashed into St. Wcndct, only 16 miles from seventh army troops fighting in tha Zweibrucckcn area. A meeting of the armies would trap all Germans in the Siiiirbrucckcn area and along the Saar river where virtually all tho Soar steel mills aro located. This trap, within the larger trap west of the Rhine, would virtually conquer the whole compact Saarland, leaving only the Palatinate to the Germans west of tho Rhine. Minor Accident Capt. W. L.
