SUkiyou countlea jear 7.00 ' Member, Anoclated Preu Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THE housing situation gets no better. There is a distinct deficiency to meet the demand for quarters right now, and it is generally conceded there is soap on the directive that will send several thousand marines to Klamath Marine Barracks in the next 60 days. A number of local businesses and industry, notably garages, have lost much-needed em ployes because they wore un able to find housing here. The recent reduction of per sonnel at the Marine Barracks has had little effect in releas ing housing, and the incoming marines will bring an increase in demand. No one will argue that the situation is tight. Public Units WHAT is being done to meet this problem? We have 205 units of housing under construction in the city, and 62 Homoja huts underway at the naval air station. This is the major immediate development promising relief, and it is important that the work on these projects be rushed to completion as quickly as possible. Of the 205 units, 155 are for military, and 50 are for civilian use. A sewage problem exists in connection with the military units, calling for early expansion of sewage facilities in the southeast side of town. Klamath Falls people at the last special election voted a financial contribution toward sewer construction. The federal works agency, which has been counted upon for cooperation, has been slow and indefinite. A little pushing from the military would help get action from this source. The federal housing agency has granted au thority for another 48 civilian units, to be built Langell Valley Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Robison, Mt.

Listings Needed THAT'S the situation as regards new housing. As for old housing, there is some remodel ing and expansion work going on around town, but this will not make any great difference in the amount of housing available. There is a serious need for listings of all available quarters sleeping rooms, apartments, houses. People of the city need to make room, wherever possible, for those in need of housing. In the past two years of housing shortage, there has been a lot of talk about this, but it has never really developed into a community wide effort. The need is greater than ever now. Coopera tive Klamath Kalis people can do a lot to help out if they will. Beginning tomorrow, a blank will he carried in this paper that can be used in listing available housing with the chamber of commerce. e Wrong Emphasis AN interesting incident -here the other day proves that the loudest noise gets the most attention. A car broke loose, ran over a man and fractured his leg, plumped over a bank on top of another car. The latter smash started the horn of the car beneath. A lot of people ran up. They began fiddling with the wiring and otherwise excitedly trying to stop the hornblowing. The man with the broken leg lay on the street without any such attention. He yelled, but not loud enough. He couldn't compete with the horn. After the hornblowing stopped, the injured man was removed to a hospital. e e Not Against Bend WE hasten to correct any impressions, which may have resulted from recent aviation discussion here, that we are opposed to the proposed through airline stop for the city of Bend. In the previous articles, we have merely pointed to the comparisons between Bend and Klamath to show the distorted reasoning of a CAB examiner who recommended a through stop for Bend but not for Klamath. In this situation, Klamath is not fighting with any other community. It wants to see every west coast city get the airline service it deserves. It is naturally most interested in its. own situation, and it certainly will not be getting what it deserves if the CAB follows the examiner's astounding recommendation. Klamath deserves main line air service and a feeder line service to fill the need of this community. It is too late now for the CAB to make up for the service deprived this com munity in the past. It surely will not want to continue this discrimination. TULELAKE Flames appar ently caused by defective wiring on a truck loaded with hay com pletely destroyed 'a garage Tti day morning on the Jack Kelle- her ranch on the west siae, miles from Tulelake. The alarm was turned in at 2 a. m. The vehicle was narked in a garage where a quantity of gasoline and lubricating oil, to gether with numerous farm tools, was stored.

Disclosing thin, yesterday, the navy said It is considering a point formula for roleaso of older personnel. If adopted tho plan would release 11.000 com missioned and warrant officers and 10,000 enlisted men by year's end. This would permit the vol untary enlistment and drafting of younger men qualified to meet Inline needs. The navy emphasized that the formula iiiuk'i" consideration will not be a demobilization measure since the service's strength will not be reduced below tho present luithorir.ed maximum ot ilUHI, 000 which was reached Juno 30. For this reason, the navy said, tho formula does not con sider such factors as depend ency anil combat service which might be included in a do niooilization plan. Under tho formula tho navy would release upon Individual application, or upon resigna tion, certain enlisted personnel and reserve officers who meet requirements. Service ago of officers and enlisted men would bo com puted by allowing one point for each year of ago figured to the nearest birthuuy and one point for each four months ot active duty In tho navy since September 1, 1930. The minimum computed serv ice age required for release, resignation or discharge would vary for different categories, as follows: Reserve line officers, enlisted reservists, navy Inductees and enlisted regulars serving during tho war under expired enlist ments, 53; reserve officers of the supply corps, 35 points: and reserve officers ot the civil en gineers corps, 57.
