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.

. 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.

is hiding somewhere in Europe
possibly in Spain.
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.

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

One experience he remembers
Is a group of Filipino girts serv
ing com on the cob to GI outfits
as they, passed. There was a big
field of it, and the girls worked
in crews. 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 .
