U. S. Stand Tougher;
Pauley To Hold Fort
Lawmakers
Paid Wages
By Oil Firm
' WASHINGTON. March 1 (!)
A Los Angeles advertising man
testified toduy thnt Edwin W.
Pauley's petrol corporation paid
the salaries of two California
state legislators ho employed
for five months in lO.'iO and
1040.
Cliel Crank, the witness, told
the senate naval committee that
ho was reimbursed by Pauley's
company for tho $200 monthly
he paid each man. He identified
the two as John W. Evans and
Cecil R. King and said ho cm
ployed them from September 1,
1030, to March 1, 1U40. King,
a democrat, now is a member
of congress from California,
Stands Pat
The committee is considering
Pauley's nomination to be un
dersecretary of tho navy. The
appointment has been under at
tack at the hearing and else
where, but Pauley has said he
does not intend to withdraw.
The two California legislators
were active, Crank said, in ob
taining permits for driveway
changes and other construction
In connection with the petrol
corporation's efforts to per
suade filling stations to sell its
products.
No Knowledge
Pauley previously had testi
fied he had no knowledge that
any legislators had been em
ployed by his firm. The com
mlttco had struck from Its rec
ords the names of tho two men,
after some members complained
that they had been mentioned
only In hearsay testimony.
Senator Tobcy (R-N.H.)
brought out that a 183B cam
paign In which Pauley was ac
tive, to prevent repeal of a
California oil conservation law,
was under way when the two
were employed through Crank's
advertising agency.

America To
Back Peace
By Force
NEW YORK, March 1 (VP)
Secretury of Stale Byrnes, de
claring the United States intends
to prevent aggression, by force
if necessary, chartered a course
of conduct today for relations
among the world's great and
small powers.
He tempered his remarks
with the assertion that ho was
"convinced that there is no rea
son for war between any of the
great powers," and added that
only an "inexcusable tragedy of
errors could cause serious con
flict between this country and
Russia."
Calling for a "stop to this
maneuvering for strategic ad
vantages all over the world," he
saia:
1. "We will not and we can
not stand aloof if force or the
threat of force is used contrary
to the purposes of the (United
Nations; charter.
No Bight
2. "We have no right to hold
our troops in the territories of
other soverign states without
their approval and consent free
ly given.
3. "We must not unduly pro
long tho making of peace and
continue to impose our troops
upon small and impoverished
nations. s ,
..4., '.'No powor-has-alght-to
help itself to alleged enemy prop
erties in liberated or ex-satellite
countries before a reparations
settlement has been agreed upon
by the allies. We have not and
will not agree to any one power
deciding for itself what it will
take from these countries.
5. "We must not conduct a
war of nerves to achieve stra
tegic ends.
6. "We do not want to stun
ble and stagger into situations
where no power intends war, but
no power will be able to avert
war.
7. "We must not regard the
drawing of attention to situations
which might endanger the peace
as an affront to the nation or
nations responsible for those sit
uations." He listed the program without
specifically mentioning any in
dividual power. (See also page

Kaiser Backs
Price Control
WASHINGTON', March 1 (iP)
Henry J. Kaiser told congress to
day that removal of price con
trols "would spell ruin for the
great mass of mankind which
has only limited purchasing
power."
The west coast industrialist
made the forecast while urging
the house banking committee to
approve legislation to continue
OPA.
Kaiser declared abolition of
the agency would result in "in
flation of disastrous proportions
. . . throughout the whole field
of production and distribution
. . . laying its heaviest toll on
those who are the least able to
bear it."
He said he agreed with oppon
ents of price control that the best
way to avoid inflation is to in
sure full production, but he add
ed: .
"There is," as Vet," no convinc
ing argument that full produc
tion must await removal of price
controls.
"The office of stabilization
can and will help us to increase
production, and I am certain
that the OPA will, handle its
pricing power to the end that
maximum production will be
achieved.
The best way to increase pro
duction win De to stop bickering
and co to work, with all sides
ready to give and take in the all-
important effort to raise produc
tion to the level , of demand.

The tinselled kings of carnival
are again on the march after five
dark years of war and thousands
of grinning native sons and visi

more brilliant against the back
ground of the paradeless era
since 1941, heralded the restora

Strike Threat
Floods Stores
Frantic phone calls and heavy
buying at butcher shops today
followed .'. the announcement
that Klamath county slaughter
ers were going on strike at mid
night last night.
Meat counter operators re
ported heavier buying than' at
any time during the past few
years. During "red point" days
buying was necessarily limited
and after rationing was lifted
housewives "took It easy, " usu
ally buying for only one or two
meals in advance.
Phone calls started coming
in Thursday evening immedi
ately after the announcement
was received that Klamath
county slaughterers would kill
only lamb and pork. The main
questions were regarding '. the
supply of meat on hand and re
questing butchers' to save meat
for their customers.
Calls Continue
Friday morning phone . calls
continued and buying started in
earnest. Meat counters in Klam
ath Falls were lined with house
wives, trying to lay in a supply
of meat to last during the emer
gency. One woman purchased
$12.50 of meat at one place to
"stash away" in a freezing lock-er-
Chain-system phone calls last
ing two hours were reported by
one butcher.
Butchers indicated today that
the present supply of meat will
last approximately two days if
the buying rush, continues. .
Talk heard on the streets Fri
day was all about supplement
ing the meat supply by fishing.
Lake fishing is the only type
now open.

Irked Over
OPA Ceiling
Local Producers May
Follow Lead Of
Portland Men
Action which may cut off al
most the entire bottled milk sup.
ply consumed in Klamath Falli
and the surrounding area, was
threatened today when a meet
ing of 130 milk producers, mem
bers of the Dairy Producers' as
sociation, was called in the city
hall.
The small dairy operators and
milk producers were asked to
form a concensus whether to
follow the lead of Portland area
dairymen in demanding that the
OPA let up on its milk ceiling
or continue on a losing basis.
There was little doubt shown at
the meeting that the collective
opinion here was to take action
immediately.
The Portland producers are
now getting 95 cents a pound
for butterfat in whole milk, and
have served notice on the OPA
that if the price is not raised to
$1.15 by March 15, their wholo
milk will be diverted from thai
bottle market into other outlets.
Ceiling Price
The ceiling price under which
local producers are operating ia
85 cents.
The board of directors of the
Dairy Producers association li
now empowered to act for the
dairymen of the Klamath valley,
and their action will probably be
to follow the lead of the Port
land area producers in asking
that the ceiling price be raised
to $1.15.
Wilbur Relllng, president of
the association, conducted the
opinion-finding meeting.
: ine men meeting today are
the little dairy operators and
milk producers of the valley, the,
men who do their own milking.
Big producers, who worked large
herds and hired their milking
done, have been steadily selling
off the herds and going out of
business it was pointed out, and
about half of the small produc
ers have now announced their
intention of doing the same.
The large producers could hot
operate on a financially sound
basis under the OPA ceiling, and
the small producers, who do not
have as much production cost,
are also finding it difficult to
keep their heads above water
now, it was declared.
7000 Cattle
In normal times there wera
over 7000 dairy cattle in tho
Klamath valley, when enoueh
milk for local consumption plus
an excess was produced. Now
the herds number less than half
of that figure, the result of the
larger operators going out.
jvieanwruie production costs
have steadily climbEti. In
normal times hay was $8 a ton,
now is between $25 and $30 a
ion; grain was $z a ton, now is
$66 a ton; farm labor was $50
to $60 a month, now the wage
ceiling is $200 a month, with a
critical shortage at that price.
These factors, the dairymen
asserted, are making the 85-cent
ceiling price for butterfat too
low for continuance.
The Portland producers have
facilities for making powdered
milk and can get $1.05 a pound
Duttenat Dy diverting their
whole milk into that channel.
That is what they intend to do
after March 15.
Alternative
Here the Droducers have tha
alternative of diverting milk
from the bottle market to mar
kets for cheese, cottage cheese
or to ship sweet cream to other
centers.
Such a change maV entail a
sacrifice in revenue, Relling said,
Dut operating costs would be
greatly lowered by the produc
ers not having to follow grade
A standards.
The standards aren't observed
very strictly in this state or any
where else, during the milk
shortage, it was pointed out. If
milk reacnes the creamery in
condition to oass sediment and
bacteria tests, it's accepted. In
normal times, however, the state
standards were enlorced.
If the diversion action is taken
it will halt all of the milk now
being sold in bottles here. Over
half the milk sold locally Is ship
ped in from other dairying dis
tricts to local distributors for
bottling.
The great increase in Klamath
population, plus the fact that
large producers have gone out
of business, was cited as reason
for milk having to be shipped
to this area. Actually, a little
