to ' Inforrrfation' received from
ElierlK Lloyd : Low and Dr.
George Adlcr, county coroner.
Thov walked ud into the tinv
ber and turned northeast on top
Of a high Noge. iney apparently
walked farther than they intend
ed and found themselves about
a mile-and-a-half 1 1 o m me
bridge. The terrain Is extremely
difficult to walk on there and
the three sailors decided that it
would be easier to swim me ca
nal to reach level ground.
Swam Last
They took their clothes off
and the strongest swimmer start
ed across, carrying all of the
clothes, The other two followed
with Hill bringing up the rear.
About half-way across the canal
it became apparent that he was
in distress so one of the other
sailors blew up a pair of navy
trousers and threw mem to mil.
He became nanickv and start
ed back toward the shore from
whence be started but was un
able to make it and sank in
about four to six feet of water.
There is a deposit of quicksand
in the canal at mat point,- ac
cording to Adlcr, and Hill was
presumed to nave sums into it,
Starch For Body
The canal was said to be be
tween 130 and 150 feet wide at
the point where Hill drowned.
The other two sailors involved
were brother. Adler said.
Further efforts to locate the
body are being made today by
members of the sheriffs office
and navy men. .
Other Fatality
McNair, the other fatality,
started out - on horseback to
round-up some horses, according
to information received by
Adler.
The horse later returned rider
less and a search was launched
for ,.the boy which resulted in
his body being found in the river
at 11 o'clock this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Willis Panky.
It was presumed that McNair
attempted to swim the horse
across the Sprague river at a
deep point and either fell or was
washed out of the saddle.
Plane Superior
To B-29 Told
WASHINGTON. Aug. 17 UP)
Gen. H. H. Arnold disclosed to
day the U. S. air forces have a
new plane "considerably better"
than .the B-29. Superfortress..
The new plane, he said, is ca
pable of ranging over all east
Asia from western Pacific bases.
The chief of the army air
forces gave no details of the
new craft except that- it has
speed the same or possibly
greater than the B-29. He re
called that a B-29 had recently
flown from Guam to Washing
ton,' a distance of 9000 miles,
in 36 hours.
Early Tax Relief
Seen By Senator
VIENNA, Ga., Aug. 17 (p)
Tax relief should come soon for
both business and the individu
al, but not all at one fell swoop,
says Senator George (D-Ga.),
chairman of the senate finance
committee.
The excess profits tax, in the
view of the 67-year-old "tax ex
pert" of the senate, should come
off in 1946, but individual and
corporate income tax reduction
should be spread over possibly
three years.

58 Killed In
Oslo Explosion
OSLO, Aug. 17 (P) At least
68 persons were killed and hun
dreds of others were injured to
day when a German ammuni
tion ship on an Oslo quayside
exploded
The blast caused extensive
damage in the dock region and
shook the entire city. Windows
in homes and business establish
ments were shattered in an area
of more than a square mile.

extremely near the coast of
Kochl, Shikoku."
These startling developments
were the latest to come out of
long distance wireless negotia
tions in which the Japanese al
ready have made it necessary to
nut off the Manna meeting,
scheduled for today, until at
lei.st some time next week.
The messages, sent on the fre
quency designated by MacArthur
for official communications,
were listed as radiograms "three,
four and five.''
Number five "urgently re
quested" MacArthur to "take
proper steps to bring about im
mediate cessation of the soviet
offensive."
Attack Told
No immediate official con
demnation was forthcoming to
the Japanese radio report that
Nipponese planes attacked "some
12 allied transports off K.ocni,
south-central port city of Shi
koku, "apparently causing great
damage. Absence of such con
demnation was interpreted un
officially as meaning the in
cident is regarded here as an un
avoidable event amid the con
fusion of closing out a far flung
war.
The Tokyo station claimed the
planes attacked four hours be
fore Emperor Hirohito issued or
ders at 4 p. m. yesterday lokyo
time (3 a. m. Thursday Eastern
War Time) that all Japanese
forces cease hostilities.
'It takes some time for the
said order to reach the front
line and produce full effect.
Tokyo said, then added:
It is earnestly requested that
the allied .forces will refrain
from approaching the islands- of
Japan proper until the order will
have been luuy-effected.
Previously the station had ad
vised MacArthur a 48 hour-period
would be required to make
me order effective in japan.
Reckoning from the Japanese
radio s prescribed tune that the
emperor issued the order at 4
p. m. Thursday,- Tokyo time, such
a 48 hour period would extend
to , p. ra. Saturdays - a.- m.
Eastern War Time the same day.
Importance of the delayed
Manila meeting of MacArthur
with Japanese representatives, to
be flown here from Kyushu by
way of the Ryukyus, was
heightened by indications that
advance echelons of allied of
ficials would be flown to Japan
for occupation duty just as soon
as preliminary details are set
tled. MANILA. Aug. 17 tP) One of
the major roles of allied occupa
tion forces in Japan and con
tinental Asia will be to liberate
and evacuate thousands of pris
oners of war and interned
civilians headed by Lt. Gen.
Jonathan Wainwright, hero of
Bataan and Corregidor.
Although no statement has
come from General MacArthur's
headquarters on the course to
be followed in relieving prison
ers and internees, it can be safe
ly assumed that MacArthur's
policy will be one as determined
as that of the southeast Asia com
mand, which described the res
cues as of "number one priority."

MECHANIZATION of British
agriculture. A visitor from the
American West is continuimily
amazed at the extent to which
mechanization has already pro
ceeded. AN example Is a Captain Bom
fnrrl rtt Runeham whn In n
farmer In a rather big way, op-
crating 13UU acres, devoted cntel
ly to vegetables and fruits, but
carrying, along with these, his
full prescribed allotment of
grain.
lie says finny; "complete
mechanization is our only hone
lor the luture if we are to com
pete with America and other
food surplus countries." He has
an astonishingly complete ma
chine shop in which (if he has
to) he BUILDS farm machines
to his own specifications. He
prefers to rely upon established
designers and manufacturers,
but if they can't provide him
with what he wants he MAKES
IT. Every time he looks at a
hand operation In tho growing
or harvesting of his various crops
he starts thinking about a MA
CHINE to do it more cheaply.
xou d be surprised at now near
he is to solution of the problem
of harvesting hops- with a ma
chine. 'We'll be selling it to. you
Americans before long," he says.

THIS preoccupation with the
mni-hinM. whir-h I co nvlrfont
among British farmers at tho
present moment, astonishes us
and proves the extent of our
ignorance of our British neigh
bors whom we have generally
and in the mass regarded as
backward in the use of machin
ery in agriculture. Far from it.
They are pretty well along the
road already, and are going
much farther.
They say they HAVE TO If
they are to survive In the com
petitive world of the future
and what you HAVE to do you
work at.
THIS idea of . PROGRESS is
evident pvprvivhprp In F.nff-
land's agricultural Midlands. It
takes almost extreme forms.
For example: This writer has
heard at least a dozen times in
the past few days the statement
that E n g 1 a n d's picturesque
HEDGES will have to go. It
costs too much to keep them
trimmed. They harbor weeds.
They rob adjacent -soil. They
take up too much ground. Wire
fences will be much more ef
ficient. So goes the talk. The word
"progress" enters soon or late
into nearly every conversation
about the future of British agri
culture. If you can imagine the
CHANGE inherent in the idea
of doing away with England's
hedges because' they are IN
EFFICIENT, you will be able to
realize faintly the revolution in
thinking that is sweeping this
country. What happened on
election day was no accident. A
new spirit is loose in tills old
and tradition-bound land. You
feel it in your bones as you talk
to people.

farmers like American farm

No headwav has annarently

Orders Cancelled
All army orders for Douglas
fir and western pine lumber
total of 225,000,000 board feet
have been cancelled, the cen
tral procurement office in Port
land said today.
Maj. W. M. Porter said the
office was now checking navy
orders, to dotermluo how many
should be cancelled. Any addi
tional lumber needed by the
army will be re-ordered later
after reviewing needs, ho said.
The cancellation will mean
additional lumber supplies In all
western states as far east as
Montana and New Mexico for
civilian purchases.
Local union officials stated to
day that these cancellations
would In no way affect the
strike situation here.
Press Statement
The press committee of the
CIO-IWA released the following
statement this morning: "There
will be no struck plants In opera
tion in Klamath Falls until un
ion shop is granted in spite of
the propaganda put out by ru
mor mongers. This strike will not
be settled by rumors."
"We challenge the statement
made in the press attributed to
the operators as to the wishes
of ex-servicemen. We have many
ex-servicemen In the union. We
do not charge them any fee to
Join the union, and so far,' the

been some of our staunchest sup
porters. They expect the union
to restore their seniority, to pro
test their working conditions,
and the only way it can be done
is to have a strong union to do
the Job."
The press' committee of the
