Reds Claim U. S. Planes
Attacked Manchu Forces
Br HAROLD K. MILKS
CHUNGKING. April 22 )
General Marshall formally de
manded today that the Chinese
communists either publicly re
tract or furnish details of their
unsupported charge that Ameri
can planes attacked communist
forces at Szepingkai, Manchuria,
and that one was shot down.
Marshall, special American
envoy seeking to establish peace
between the warring Chinese
factions, held an inconclusive
three-hour meeting with Gen.
Chou En-lai, chief communist ne
gotiator, and a separate session
with Generalissimo Chiang Kai
shek. Chou said he was radioing
field commanders for informa
tion on the reported air attacks,
which allegedly occurred near
embattled Szepingkai last week.
Fabrication
A Chinese government mili'
tary spokesman labeled as a
"complete fabrication" the
charge that U. S. planes had
strafed the communist forces.
Reports from headquarters of
the U. S. army, marine and navy
air units based in China said no
U. S. aircraft were in the
Szepingkai area at the time of
the reported attack.
U. S. army headquarters here
Indicated that it would have no
formal statement on the com'
munist accusation until an inves
tigation was completed. How
ever, a spokesman said an un
armed liaison plane seized by
the communists at Changchun
last week was the only U. S. air
craft in the area. The commun
ists asserted that one of the
planes was shot down and found
to contain an American airman.
Troops Gather
Government reports from
Manchuria said that Chinese
communist troops are "gathered
like clouds" in the Kungchulin
district east of Changchun where
the government's first army ap
parently made slow progress in
its effort to reach the fallen capi
tal. Kungchulin is 38 miles from
Changchun, captured by the
communists last week.
Lt. Gen. Chao Chia-hsiang,
acting commander of govern
ment armies in the northeast,
was scheduled to fly from Muk
den to the Changchun area today

UNION
To The People of Klamath County
On April 16th, Mr. Clarence Humble, in his radio talk,
told Klamath County citizens that there has been no
Juvenile officer since early last October.
Shortly after Mr. Humble's radio talk. Judge Vanden
berg appointed one. Evidently Mr. Humble spoke the
truth or Judge Vandenberg would not have rushed in and
made the appointment in less than 24 hours.
Dave Bridge was the best juvenile officer Klamath Falls
ever had. By insults, threats, and intimidation by the
Judge, he became disgusted and resigned. Bridge saved
many a wayward boy from going down the long road that
leads to the penitentiary.
Although Judge Vandenberg is the Juvenile court Judge
of Klamath County, he does not like to handle Indian
Juvenile cases, though it is his duty to do so.
Juvenile conditions in Klamath county are the worst
on the Pacific coast. Don't you think it is about time we
had a change in our juvenile court? Do you know what
has happened in the Juvenile court durino the oast five
years? Are you satisfied with the numerous parols, pro
bations, and dismissals of cases where grown men have
violated girls, 16 years and younger? Are you satisfied
with the way Judqe Vandenberg has handled some of his
JUVENILE OFFICERS in the past?
The Judge, in his radio talk, said he would not punish
children if he could avoid it. Evidently, from his record,
he does not believe in punishing those who punish and
violate the girls.
It is best that you inquire and find out what has been
going on. Judoe Vandenberg savs in the OREGON VOT
ERS PAMPHLET that he is running on his record. "Heaven
save us from his juvenile court record."

to report on the military situa
tion there.
The New Life (Peiping daily)
correspondent said five United
States newsmen, including Asso
ciated Press Correspondent Tom
Mastcrson, were safe in Chang
chun but without freedom of ac
tion. Approximately 100 gov
ernment officials there also were
detained,
(In Shanghai the Chinese pa
per Ta Kung Pao reported in a
Peiping dispatch that the com
munist captors of Changchun
had permitted five American
correspondents and two military
observers to leave the Manchur-
lan capital. No details were
given.)
Killing Halted
At Meat Plant
TILLAMOOK. April 22 P-
Curtailing of killing at the
Christensen Meat company
plant here today has lowered
the meat supply of most coast
towns between Astoria and
Coos Bay and areas inland as
far as Salem, the company said
today.
C. H. Christensen reported
the decision of the company to
halt killing except for hogs and
a few "low grade cows" result
ed from a federal inspector's
down grading of meat the com
pany had purchased as choice
grade beef. He said the com
pany had purchased 55 head of
cattle as choice and that the U.
S. inspector graded all of the
meat "commercial and good."
The firm kills about 45 head
a day, but Christensen said the
inspector made it "impossible
for us to stay in business" on
normal production-
Retail butcners from Seaside,
Warrenton, Salem and other
western Oregon cities depend
ing on the company would be
shut off from their regular sup
ply, he said.

oceans of the soapand soap powders
you need so badly ... and let the fats
that help make them dribble down
the drain. Some day, sure, you'll
get more soap. But when?
Not until the country's Indus?
trial fat supply has been built up
tremendously. Right now, it is at
a record low.
Suppose, though, you want soaps
to come back to the counter sooner
...what can you do?
your used fats
. . . just as carefully as during the
war. There's more meat now . . .
more fat to save. ..so it's lots easier.
You American housewives are
already turning in a healthy share
of our present industrial fat supply.
If you slacken up, naturally there'll
be ess fats. And less fats mean less
soaps, less of all peacetime products.
So keep saving. You get 4f for
