Group Talks
Wheat Saving
Strict conservation of wheat
and lata wu discussed by com
mittee chairmen ot the Food For
Famine Relief program at a
meeting held this morning at the
chamber of commerce.
Bakers, butchers, retail and
wholesale grocers, restaurants,
slaughter houses and city and
rural school were represented at
the meeting, with A. H. Buss
man, chairman for the program
in Klamath county.
Each orguniiation offered sev
eral suggestions for conserving
wheat ana iais, irora wim.ii
practical program will be j
worked out, and it was em
phasized that potatoes can be
substituted for many wheal
' uses in this potato growing cen-
t?The main object of the pro-l
gram as pointed out by Buss
man, is to avoid waste, there;
being plenty of wheat and fats,
for domestic use without stint-:
ing the American people if the;
...,.,,4 o,iA nrt I
Kiiruius is tuuacivcu
wasted. .,,
Mrs. Winnifred K. Gillcn, pub
licity chairman for the urogram
stated she would use suggestions
for substituting potatoes on her
radio talks and in her home dem
onstrations to extension units.
Bulletins and recipes for using
potatoes arc available on re
quest at the home demonstration
office in the post office building.
A meeting of restaurant opera
tors has been called by Avis Mc
Conncll, committee chairman,
for 2 p. m. Friday in the Pelican
party room and for those who
cannot come Friday there will
be another meeting held Satur
day at 2 p. m. at the same place.
Canal Priming
To Commence
Priming of the main or "A"
canal ot the U. S. reclamation
project, will be started Wednes
day morning and water for ir
rigation will be in all canals a
weeK later, reclamation authori
ties announced today.
The amount of water in stor
age in project reservoirs during
war years was more than ample
for all irrigation requirements,
it was stated, but the capacity
of existing canals and laterals
on the Klamath project during
these years at the peak of the
season, was taxed to meet the
demand for irrigation water.
On account of the shortage
of labor and more especially ex
perienced irrigators, the project
farmers were, in many cases,
put to the necessity ot dump
ing or cutting back the water
they were using. In some in
stances the irrigators would
only work eight hours and
where this occurred the water
was used only eight hours out
of 24 which meant the farm
ers must keep the water three
times as long as if they could
use the water full time.
For this reason other farm
ers would have to wait a longer
time until they could receive
the water they needed. Now
that the labor situation has im
proved, and the idea is to create
more jobs, it is right and proper
for project farmers to employ
enough men so that full use
of irrigation water may be
made, according to the bureau.
The board of directors of the
Klamath irrigation district here
stated that needless waste,
dumping and cutting back will
not be allowed. Farmers should
make plans and provide means
of cooperating with bureau em
ployes, it was stated.
LA GRANDE. April 16 (JP)
Quarterly meeting of the Ore
gon Wildlife Federation, to be
held here April 20, is expected
to be highlighted by discussions
of an overall conservation pro
gram for Oregon and the winter
ing problems of big game.

Surprise Witness Pictures
Cine As Courtly Lothario
SAN FRANCISCO, April 16
(Pi A surprise witness for the
state today pictured Alfred Leon
ard Cline, white-haired forger
and ex-choir master, as a courtly
Lothario who as a "widower"
paid her attentions .during the
period his wife was supposed
to be alive.
The tangled web of the 56-year-old
ex-convict's relations
with various women had another
strand added through the testi
mony of Miss Mary' Louise Smith
of San Francisco, who was called
in Cline's trial for forgery and
grand theft in connection with
the disposition of the $323,000
estate of the late Eva Delora
Krebs Cline of Chicago.
Throughout most of last year,

Famine Group Beset
With Difficulties
PORTLAND, April 16 iJP)
Oregon's Food and Famine com
mittee reported today that al
though efforts were being made
to conserve 20,000 tons of wheat
and 500 tons of food fats by July
1, a -number of difficulties were
encountered.
Joseph K. Carson, committee
chairman, said that bakers were
unable to cut the size of bread
loaves 10 per cent if they ship
from Oregon to Washington or
California and would be unable
to get new wrappers printed
in time for use in the state.
The Oregon State Hotel asso
ciation reported to the commit
tee that all members were be
ing advised of ways to cut down
on the amounts of food used and
at the same time not to make
savings at the expense of pat
rons. Centennial Group

The Clown Surprises Mrs.' Truman
his arm on the shoulder of Mrs.
Miss Smith related, Cline enter
tained her frequently, that she
visited him once in Los Angeles,
and that he told her "he was
retired, a widower, and had been
one for 12 years."
State Claim
Cline has contended that Mrs.
Krebs Cline died in Portland,
Ore., in November of last year,
although the state asserts she
died more than a year earlier
in Dallas, Texas, and was cre
mated at Cline's direction as
I "Mrs. Alice Carpenter" of Tam
, pa, Fla. A woman was cremated
i at Cline's order in Portland, but
the state says this one actually
was Mrs. Isabel Van Natta of
San Francisco, also a companion
of the defendant.
Judge Herbert C. Kaufman
asked Norman Elkington. assist
ant district attorney, what the
state was attempting to prove
through Miss Smith's testimony.
"Your honor.'' the prosecutor
replied, "we wish to show that
at the very time he (Cline) was
representing himself in a series
of letters (to the former Mrs.
Krebs' relatives) to be married
to and living with Delora Krebs
Cline, he was meeting other
women "
Cheating Wife?
Cline's attorney, J. W. Ehrlich
interrupted: "You mean he was
cheating on his wife?"
"I wish to show,'' Elkington
resumed, "th,at she (Miss Smith)
never saw a wife of his, that
he . took her to his home, and
there still was no wife."
Stanley L. Murdock, insurance
salesman of Oakland, testified
that Cline took out a $2000 an
nuity in favor of his son. and
listed himself as a widower. This
was after the death of the wom
an in Dallas who the prosecu
tion insists was Mrs. Krebs
Cline and before the death in
Portland of another woman.
