AaMdated Preei Member Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup ' By MALCOLM EPLEY WE haven't Wed it, but we have an idea that a Main street survey would find mighty few people who know anything about the special state eiecuon set for June 22. There is little indication of public interest in this vote. There was no spurt of voter registration prior to the date the poll books were closed for this election. In fact, regis tration is somewhat lower than it was prior to the general election last fall. Public discussions of the Issues in the election thus far have been confined pretty largely to public officials. : . ' - , j . It s about time for those of us who intend to vote to be informing ourselves and its time for citizens who haven't given the thing a thought to make a resolution to participate Intelligently in this ballot. There are two state measures slated for the ballot., '',,' One would authorize the state to spend $10 million, already on hand, in a building pro gram for the state Institutions. The other would "levy a tax on cigarettes to raise $2 million annually for support of state elementary schools, e e e e Building Fund Bill TODAY, we will comment on the building pro gram measure. This bill, let it be noted, has the vigorous support of Klamath county's Representative Henry Semon, so good a chair man of ways and means that he got the job this year even though he is a democrat and we have a republican legislature. Mr. Semon knows the state's financial picture and he knows the needs of the institutions for build ings. It is important that we have his word for it that the measure should pass. Brother Semon is no spendthrift. ' But the voter needs to know more about the measure than simply that Mr. Semon is for it ' The measure provides, for a property tax levy to raise the $10 million in two years, but it is not what it seems. This property tax levy Is merely a technicality the money is on hand . iij income tax surpluses and if the measure passes, there will be no additional taxation on property. Under Oregon law, income tax revenues can 6e' used only In lieu of property taxes for state purposes. Thus it is impossible to use the present income tax surpluses without first having a property tax foe income surplus to wipe out. Voters June "22 are asked to provide that property tax for building purposes, where upon $10 million from income tax surplus can be used and the property levy eliminated. We admit it's "confusing,- but that's the story. t The Need Is There UNDER the proposed program, $4 million of the building fund will be used for the schools of higher education, and $6 million for the etate insane hospital, schools for the blind, Etate training school, and other state institu tions. . , Oregon's institutions are well behind In their building development. The situation at the state hospital, for instance, has been proved to be most deplorable. The higher educational institutions expect a huge influx of post-war undergraduates, the expectation being based on what happened after the last war and i the legislation already passed to encourage veterans to go in for education when they get out of the services. We favor the measure. e e e e . Briefs From The Pocket File JUST one sour note entered an informal dis cussion of Klamath's relationships with military Installations at a luncheon at the " Marine Barracks this week honoring Admiral Griffin, 13th naval district commander . . . You've probably guessed it already it was ' high rents that spoiled the otherwise pretty pic ture . . . Visiting navy officials couldn't and didn't blame the community for the housing shortage ... But they had heard that rents were pretty bad . . . Our only answer could be that an honest effort had been made locally to control rents, and when it failed, OPA was invited in . . . Andrew Loney, Klamath's out standing school music director, is worried about uniforms for his high school band . . . The old red and white ones are in pretty bad shape . , . New ones can be bought, and Andy is willing, if necessary, to put up some of the precious music fund as part payment if some one else will help out with the rest ... Or, better yet, maybe some public-spirited individual or group would do the whole job . . . We'll supply figures on request. . The War Today By J. M. ROBERTS JR. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst JAPANESE reports of an allied landing near Brunei, Borneo, probably are correct and indicate another step in General MacArthur's consolidation of his position for the ultimate drive against Japan. Experts estimate that if we could recapture Borneo's oil fields, and find them quickly usable, it would be tantamount to a two-thirds increase in our tanker fleet in the Pacific for Borneo would give our naval vessels a source of oil thousands of miles nearer their scene of operations than at orescnt. e Speed Important THE Brunei area in North Borneo, like the island of Tarakan already invaded by the Australians, is one of these rich fields. The Japanese report only one allied division in action so far. Yet it is so important that the Brunei- installations be secured quickly that unless the Japs have pulled out completely this is likely to develop into a major operation. In fact, it is the type of job which MacArthur likes to supervise personally when not too involved in the over-all business of his theater. For it seems likely that the extent of damage done by the Japanese at Brunei and Tarakan might determine whether a campaign is worth while in the great Balikkapan fields, far down the East Borneo coast. Balikpapan is directly across from Japanese-held Celebes, which might involve an important neutralization operation. There would seem to be little reason for any of these campaigns unless there are good indi cations their resources can be converted to our use in time for the Japanese invasion. The same applies to Java. Cut off and largely im potent, Japanese forces in these areas hardly seem to constitute a sufficient menace "to our rear to warrant major action. - e e Quickening Likely MEANWHILE, other consolidation efforts go forward. American forces on-Luzon have struck into the Cagayan valley, good fighting terrain which leads all the way to Aparri on the island's northern shore, and this campaign should take on a quickened tempo. The Japanese still hold something like 20,000 square miles here which is vitally needed for air bases nearer Formosa and the Japan-China supply lines. Once secured, even our fighter planes will be within range of everything from Hainan island to Okinawa and as much as 300 to 400 miles inland in China. Shuttle flights might be possible. Under the circumstances, a special meeting of the Japanese diet is not out of place. And the words of "regret" which Premier Suzuki utters over the war with the United States are probably the most sincere he ever spoke.

He adds that from captured diaries of nazi higher-ups the Russians have learned that two days before Berlin fell Hitler married Eva iirnun, ocrman movie actress. He says they probably waited until the last moment and then took off in a plane that had been held in con stant readiness on a nazi air field reserved for him. He says that corpses mat might have been Hitler's have been found, but he doubts their authenticity. One reason for his doubts, he says, is tne I inning of SEVERAL .bodies whose clothing was plainly laundry marked ADOLF HITLER. He can't understand why so many Germans should have been wearing Hitler's clothes and thinks it looks like a plant. filililSliililiiiiill'lliillililill'iilillilllllKllil m m mm BURG L iES REPORTED TD F Zhukov seriously doubts Hit- Patterson Tells Of Manila Experiences, High Prices Manila is a long way off by hip, but not so far by air. C. Woodrow Patterson, of the tech nical staff of - General Motors , Diesel corporation, who has been attached to the army as a technical adviser and has been in the Pacific for three years, left there by plane on Thursday of last week and arrived in San Francisco on Sunday. He is stop ping in Klamath Falls for a brief visit with his father, A, H. Pat terson. ' . . 1 Inflation has hit Manila in a rather big way, he says. ' The night before he left he took a guest to dinner, and the check for the two came to $95 Ameri can money. Steaks are $15 and chops $10. Cocktails are $8 each. He brought the menu back with him, as he says he doubts if he could get his expense account past a home front auditor with out tangible evidence. There Is food enough in the Philippines, he says, but badly wrecked transport has made it Slfficult to get In the cities.

One crew gathered and cleaned the corn and anoth er cooked it in huge kettles over open fires and served the ears steaming hot, keeping it up until the field was completely stripped. They refused all pay ment. The war in the Pacific, he points out, is on a vast scale. His duties required making a trip around the front from time "to time, and the air distance was 3500 miles. This included only the present active fronts. When the Gilberts, and -the Marshalls, where they are still fighting Japs, were Included, the distance stretched to 5000 miles. He doesn t look for an early end to the war, pointing out the ex treme length of our communica tions as compared with the short ness of the Japs . Courthouse Records Complaint!
