IN THE TOUGHEST FIGHT IN
THE WAR IN THE PACIFIC!
Thursday. June 2, 194S
Anderson Pledges
WFA Check-Up
WASHINGTON, June 28 (VP)
An immediate WFA check-up
"and clean-up if necessary
was promised today by Repre
sentative Anderson (D-N.M.)
who moves into the cabinet as
secretary of agriculture Satur
day. His statement to a reporter
followed a report by a house
appropriations subcommittee ac
cusing the war food administra
tion of responsibility for food
losses running into millions of
dollars.
The subcommittee, concluding
a months' long investigation,
criticized WFA's warehousing
practices, said its records were
inadequate and incorrect and
charged some officials with de
liberately giving false iniorma
tion to congress.
SHAKE-UP Ml STATE

on the league's potent security
council.
Selection of Byrnes probably
would mean an almost com
plete turnover in the ranks of
assistant secretaries named
when Stettinius took office last
December and began reorganiz
ing the state department. The
only likely survivor of this
group is W uliam L. Clayton,
sistant in charge of economic
fairs, although others may oe
asked to stay on for awhile.
Grew May Get Post
Friends thought it likely that
if Byrnes gets the post said to
be the only one in the govern
ment he would be willing to
accept at this timethat an
other place also may be found
for Undersecretary Joseph C.
Grew, former ambassador to
Japan. .
The assistant secretaries in
clude Nelson A. Rockefeller, in
charge of Latin American af
fairs; and Archibald MacLelsh,
former librarian of congress
now in charge of public and
cultural relations.
Extension Of Wheat
Loan Program Set
CORVALLIS, June 28 (P)
Extension of the loan program
on 1944 wheat in farm storage
to April 30, 1946, was an
nounced by the state AAA com
mittee today.
Farmers holding 1944 wheat
which they have been unable
to deliver to commodity credit
because of limited transporta
tion and storage facilities may
extend the loans and store the
wheat until April 30, 1946. An
additional storage payment of
5 cents a bushel is allowed on
extended loans.
On extended loans where the
wheat is finally delivered to
commodity credit, no interest
will be charged after July 1,
1945, and final settlement will
be made under the parity pur
chase program.

KUHS Classes Earn Marine Diploma
Sgt. Harold Tarallo of Chicago, Guadalcanal veteran now sta
tioned at the Marine Barracks, has completed the education he
interrupted to enlist in 1940 by attending daises at Klamath
Union high school. Shown here with Lt. J. Ott Schulte, educa
tional consultant at the Barracks who arranged to have Tarallo's
locally earned credits transferred to Crane Technical high in
Chicago, he is the first local marine to finish the necetiary
scholastic work for graduation under the new military educa
tional service. (USMC photo).
Guadalcanal Veteran Wins
High School Diploma Here
A lesson in determination for
a lot of people can be learned
from Sgt. Harold Tarallo. Guad
alcanal veteran, the first marine
from the local Barracks to re
ceive his high school diploma
under the marine corps' new
educational service.
Tarallo lacked credit for one
course commercial arithmetic
when he left Chicago's Crane
Technical high in June, 1940, to
join the marines, and has made
up that deficiency by attending
Klamath Union high school.
Service in Iceland, where he
was stationed at the outbreak
of the war, and combat duty in
the Solomons with the 2nd ma
rine division didn t leave him
much time for scholastic pur
suits, so when the chance came

it is understood here that the
federal charge has been dropped .
and tnat Heuvel has been
turned over to Klamath county
authorities to face trial on the
four indictments.

he was quick to enroll in KUHS
to get the credits needed for
his diploma.
Tarallo went to school six
hours a day for six weeks,
passed his course and applied
to the Chicago school for his
graduation certificate.
The National Educational as
sociation, sponsors of the mili
tary high school training, has
authorized that certain phases
of military training be good for
nign school credit, enabling
many young men who came in
to the service as Tarallo did to
get at least some scholastic
credit for military work.
Basic training, or the ma
rines' "boot camp," for instance,
is good for one high school cred
it in physical education.
Therefore each man coming
to the Barracks Is interviewed
as to his previous education and
future ambitions and is encour
aged to complete right here any
high school credits he might
lack. Only then will the non
graduate be eligible for college
training benefits of the GI bill
of rights.
Capt. Harry C. Mahan and
Lt. J. Ott Schulte, who have
been especially trained for edu
cational services duty, are in
charge of the 8-month-old pro
gram at the Barracks.
