War Veterans Arrive Home To Face
Housing Shortage In Klamath Falls
Veterans of both thcaten of
war are arriving home daily to
face the problem of house hunt
ing. The housing shortage in
Klamath Falls is still critical
..with sometimes 40 inquiries
'made in a single day at. the
chamber of commerce. An aver
' age of between 350 and 400 calls
arc received there a month from
both civilians and veterans.
A few single rooms in private
' homes are listed and some small
. cabins but no place for the vet
eran with a family or the civilian
family given notice to move
when the house they are occupy
ing is sold.
The American Legion, hearing
"that some units of the FPHA
i trailer dwellings were vacant,
appointed a committee of three
men to investigate why they are
not available to veterans. Pat-

rick W. Kilby, Hal H. Ogle and
Leon Lombard, appointed on the
committee, were told by Austin
Hayden, project engineer, that
ine 20 trailer nouses noi rented
now are vacant due to needing
repairs.
Trailers' Vacant '
Hayden told the committee
that these trailers have been va
cant only for the past six weeks.
In September he received notice
from the NHA regional office in
Seattle not to re-rent trailers
when they became vacant. This
reauest was rescinded in Octo
ber when it was apparent that
all available housing would sun
De needed.
All livable trailers were rent
ed to railroad and lumber work
ers and veterans but the remain'
ing un-occupied units can not be
used during bad weamer until
they have been repaired as
cracks and leaks make them a
hazard to health, Hayden advised.
Twelve trailers were reported
by Hayden to the regional main
tenance engineer in beanie as in
need of repairs in August with
repair costs estimated at $22,000
by a local contractor. . Nothing
was done about conditioning

Jan. 9 (IP)
Efforts to achieve a truce lit
China's civil strife fulled again
today and the communist repre
sentative charged that a hitch
developed because of govern
ment (lomnnds for exception of
Jehol and Chaliar provinces from
the armistice terms.
"Tho communists find these
demands unacceptable and can
not tolerate them as prerequis
ites for a ccaso fire order," said
Gen. Chou En-lal, communist
representative at the truce talks
with a government member and
General Murshull.
Tho parley was adjourned Un
til lute tomorrow. Its failure
to achieve prompt agreement
blasted hopes of a truce being ef
fected before tomorrow's open
ing of the political unity conference.
