rWOHZKALD ANDNTW5 MARINE HELD ON ASSAULT Military investigation is un derway following an incident on s 6th street early Sunday in which a marine auegeaiy oiu aished a .45 automatic when he mistook a second marines wife for his own. State police came along in time to sec the gun. and JS ' the alleged offender over to military police. WO William Raymond wood. 29 USMC, native of Baltimore, McL is in military custody after officers arrested turn on a charge of assault while armed with a dangerous weapon on riv- JaJ Koland Kurschner. Officers told this story. They were en route to police head quarters when . their attention was called to a quarrel tween two marines near 2405 S. bth. Officers approached the pair and saw the automatic . in Wooa s hand. Police said the marine had pulled the revolver sliae back but the slug had stopped at the entrance of the chamber, ap parently jammed when the sec ond marine struck the gun. Wood charged Kurschner with being with his. Wood's, wife as the two stepped from the cab. Wood ordered the woman, clad in a fur coat, "to go home, ; as he turned on her companion. Kurschner told Wood the wom an was his own wife but Wood apparently was confused and at first did not believe the protest ing leatherneck. PFC Kurschner and his wife proceeded on to their home. District Attorney Clarence Humble said that he would take the matter up with the military this afternoon. Racket Warning By EARL WHITLOCK Do you know that this coun try of ours has something over a hundred billions of dollars in savings? That r- , - .. J-i amount is in- f p ' creasing at the rate . of about forty billions a year. An enor mous sum. A sum that is a bright and shin ing temptation to the crooked workers and sharp shooters of the entire world. The best brains of crook-dom zre hard at it right now evolv ing schemes to separate service '.men and their families from their savings. And many of those schemes are coming to light. Schools at high tuition fees which promise you that, having taken their course, the top of the world is yours suc cess money fame. And fre quently much better instruction could be obtained at any local high school adult education class and for free. There will be land schemes with rosy prospects of doubling the money you invest and so .quickly! There will be glm cracks and inventions without number offering to sell you or lease you territorial rights. And how the promoters of those schemes can work a lead pen cil to build up pictures of heavy profits! All kinds of smooth talkers for all kinds of money-making-without-too-much -work form ulae are even now lying in wait for the returned service man and the war worker and their savings. And the individual who has savings has got to watch his step as never before or he's go ing to have a flock of nice, new regrets in place of those sav ings. Next Monday Mr. Whitlock of the Earl Whitlock Funeral Home will comment on May Day. rouR SERVICE for - 7 MOVING WAGt PHONE 4151 . M Broad St.. Klamath Falls CHARGE HERE If Monday.

T WASHTNGTON, April 23 (Pi To correct a shortage in current army and navy lumber needs, Oregon and Washington saw mills west of the Cascade moun tains have been ordered by the war production board to cut at least 40 per cent of their month ly output of Douglas fir, white fir and west coast hemlock in one-inch boards, and at least 25 per cent in 2-inch size. Only two exceptions are per mitted: One-inch boards may be sub stituted for the 2-inch dimen sion, and vice versa, if a mill finds itself unable to comply with the directive because of the type of logs it receives, its equipment or its manpower. This is permissible only if the mill can turn out 65 per cent of its production in the needed sizes. . . If compliance would result in a financial loss, a mill may be authorized to produce less than 65 per cent of its output in the desired sizes for 30 days. In either situation, the mill must apply for approval to the western lumber administration at Portland, Ore. 11,738 Japs Die on Isle; Nipponese Re-take Kakazu , (Continued irom Page One) drome in central China: and the British progressed in the cen tral Burma campaign against stiffening resistance.

PVTTON is on the loose again and news of his movements has been blacked out usually a sign of something important. He seems to be heading in south of Pilsen and Prague with the idea of cutting off these important armament-manufacturing centers from the nazi hideout in the Alps. The great Skoda armament works, almost as important as the Krupps of Essen, are at Pilsen. a a PATCH'S 7th army has crossed the Danube in two places and is heading for Munich. The French have closed in to the Swiss border at the western end of the Alps redoubt. The Russians arc moving up the Danube from Vienna. The Ger mans are in retreat toward the Po in northern Italy. There is evidence that we are closing in on all sides on Hitler's Alpine hangout. . a a TO7HERE is H i 1 1 er ? Nobody " knows. The Hamburg radio (still German-held) says ho is in Ber lin and has decided to stay there. The statement sounds phony, and Is regarded by our side as an attempt to stop dangerous rumors sweeping the rcich to the effect that the fuehrer has flown the coop. (Such rumors, if un checked, would naturally un settle the Germans who are stay ing behind to die.) Reliable sources in London doubt that Hitler or Gocbbcls is in Berlin. a a a flOEBBELS (via radio) says to day that Berlin and Prague won't surrender. He adds: "If both fall, the WHOLE of Europe will perish with Germany. If bolshevism captures them Eu rope will cease to exist." a a WHAT he means is plain " enough. For a century, Germany has been Europe's BEST CUSTOMER, and he thinks that with its best customer gone Europe will go broke. He's wrong, of course he hasn't read enough history, or at least hasn't read it straight. The Tigris and Euphrates val leys once occupied the place in the then small Mediterranean world that has been more re cently occupied by Germany in Europe they were highly pro ductive and were good customers of their neighbors. . Tamerlane DESTROYED THEM UTTERLY so completely that they are still a desert but the rest ot tne world WENT ON. The world will go on If Ger many is destroyed as completely and as permanently as the in sane nazis seem to have planned. The rest of the world will find customers somewhere else to take the place Germany has oc cupied. The lesson of history is clear on that point. a a a THE Japs are still fighting hard on Okinawa, counter attacking and taking a village back from us yesterday. The latest count there is 11,738 Jap dead and 27 Jap prisoners since we landed. There are supposed to be 60,- 000 of them that we'll have to kill.

Lt. Gen. George S. Pattons divisions already have liberated several camps containing thou sands of Americans from every state. The situation was about the same in every prison: The Americans had been forced to walk 100 or more miles to camps and were assigned to filthy quarters which wore unhealed in cold weather, nicy w barclv enough to keep alive. Too Weak to Work In some cases, men were forced to do heavy work, al though weak from starvation. Some fainted on jobs. In at least one prison camp, Americans told of beatings re ceived from German guards wielding rifle butts. Army censors have been wary of passing stories about condi tions In these camps. Every thing indicating severe cruelty has been stopped until recently. Censorship Relaxed The policy now has been re laNcd. Correspondents may re port what they see, but still can not write of what liberated Americans tell them,, if se vere cruelly is involved. Such reports still must be re ferred to higher authorities, who may or may not release them, depending upon verifica tion. Liberated troops seen in sev eral camps unanimously told this correspondent that tho whole truth should be told. One prisoner of war said: "The Germans could not trcnt doughboys still in camps much worse and there is always a chance that widespread public ity might cause the Germans to. institute reforms." Transportation Lacking Perhaps the German captors have been unable to transport American prisoners of war to camps by rail or truck, as do Patton's divisions. It is true that allied bombers have re duced such facilities to a mini mum. However, there Is no excuse for assigning Americans to cramped and filthy tiuarters, or for feeding them minute quan tities of watery soup, bread and margarine. Nor is thero an ex cuse for beating them. Near every camp this corres pondent has seen, there have been large, clean and heated buildings which could be used for prisoners. Throughout over run Germany, great stores of foodstuff have been found. All German! Fed The German army grew fat on rations set aside for the troops. This correspondent cnocKea Kitcnens, cupboards and cellars of scores of civilians. Without exception even In tho homes of the lower classes there was food aplenty. This correspondent has yet to see a German soldier or civilian who appeared underfed. Yet in the prisoner of war camps, most Americans are suffering various degrees of malnutrition. Some Americans after six months im prisonment drag one foot after Leatherneck Players Slate 'Charlie's Aunt? at Post Tickets for the play, "Charlie's Aunt," presented by the Leather neck Players of the Marine Bar racks, are now available without charge at the chamber of com merce office.
