Opinion against meters was unanimous among about 20 mer chants who attended a session at the chumber of commerce rooms. They also voted to mako vigorous representation before the city council If It takes up the meter question Monday night. Spokeamen ut todny's meeting contended parking meters do not solve parking problems, and assortcdly they are an imposition on people who come Into town to shop. There waa some conten tion thai -Klamath Falls doer 1 1 1 ' not have pa11" problem. The merchants were cynical about tha "trial period" pro posed for parking mctera by tha city traffic safety council. Tltay said that experience in other clllea ahowa that once meters are in, they stay In, and city officials can't be Induced to or der them out. N. B. Drew, first to express himself on the question, suid he regarded it aa a matter for mer chanta to decide, and criticized the chamber of commerce board of directors which went on rec ord In favor of a parking meter trial earlier In the week. Ho said he is certain the public generally Is opposed to mctera, and that their presence on downtown streets would tend to drive business out of town. . Among others who spoke against meters were Arthur Rickbcil, Nick Long, Keith Moon, Walter Kcnnett, Al Hat ton and Rudy Jacobs. Rickbell and Moon said they thought the parking meter issue had been disposed of several years ago, when the council dropped such a plan after vigor ous opposition was expressed. Nimitz Sees Merger Cure WASHINGTON, May 3 (ZD Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nlmiti deelnrcd toriny the "bnslc de fects" of pending lcglslntion to unify the army and nnvy could be remedied to eliminate navy fenr of becoming the "weak link" in tho notional security chain. Nimitz, appearing before tho sennte naval committee, closely followed the testimony, occasion ally word for word, which Sec retnry of the Navy Forrcstnl gave Wedncsdny. "The bnslc defects . . should be remedied by restoring the military and nnvnl services to Independent department status," he suggested, "and by vesting in their secretaries all direct ad ministrative responsibility and authority." Navy Not Appreciated Asserting Hint "there exists a lack of appreciation of tho im portance of the navy," the white haired chief of nnvnl operations added Hint the nnvy "Is careful to cxnmine any proposal legisla tion with a view to the continua tion of its own fighting effic iency, and in order not to become the wenk link in the chain" of national security. He said that at one time he had fnvorcd a single department to administer both tho army and navy and "was optimistic with respect to the effectiveness" of a single officer commanding all U. S. forces. Ho changed his mind, Nimitz added. lt KLAMATH School Track Meet county championship track maat. Russ Lottery To Back Bonds LONDON, May 3 UP)-Soviet Russia will float a domestic loan of 20.000.000,000 rubles (nomin ally $3,774,000,000) for restora tion and development of her economy, to be repaid from the proceeds of a lottery. The Mos cow radio announced the loan today. The lottery will be based on the serial numbers of 20-year tax free bonds which Finance Min ister Arseny G. Zverev urged Russians to buy. The bonds can be bought only by Russian citizens and the lot tery winnings, with prizes rang ing up to 90.000 rubles ($9435) for each 100-ruble bond, also will be exempt from taxes, said Zvcrev, who declared the huge loan was needed to "heal the wounds of war and speedily re store the Soviet economy." The radio said the council of ministers had decreed that the money would bo used for "ful filment of the five-year plan" and the "further strengthening of the military and , economic might of the country." N. P. May Suspend One Seattle Train SEATTLE, May 3 The Northern Pacific railroad indi cated hero last night it may sus pend one of its four daily trains opernting out of Seattle in com pliance with the government coal reduction order.

Baldy Tojo TOKYO, May 3 (P) Two lusty slnps on the top of HI dekl Tojo's glistening bald hend by a enpricious co-defendant startled the court room this afternoon as 28 Jap anese heard themselves ac cused of having plunged tha Pnclfic Into a war of greed. The playful smacks were only pnrt of the antics of Shuml Oknwa, who long advo cated an aggressive war to drive the white races from Asin. Shouting gibberish that even the Japanese said they could not understand, Okawa had to bo pulled forcibly from the courtroom by American mili tary police at an afternoon re cess.

OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY TRAIN Effects Of Coal Strike Mushroom By Tha Aaaociatad Praia Ruilroada, utilities and ateel In dustry vital to the nation's peacetime reconversion were hit harder than ever today by the pyramiding ill effects of the 33-day-old soft coal strike. This is how the absence of 418,000 miners from the pits in 25 states crippled coal-dependent operations: Railroads The office of de fense transportation orders a sweeping embargo on freight shipments and a 25 percent slash in passenger service on coal burning lines, effective May 10. Utilities Low stockpiles of coal bring the prospect of worse brownout restrictions than ex isted during the war to highly industrialized urban centers, in cluding New York. Chicano and Detroit. In Chicilgo. a state of emergency already has been de clared. Steel Curtailment of produc tion scheduled results in bank ing of additional blast furnaces and idling of more workers at plants of Bethlehem Steel and Carnegie-Illinois Steel corpora tions, two of the nation's top pro ducers. Rail Embargo Ordered A general embargo on prac tically all freight shipments ex cept food and fuel and a cut in railway passenger service was ordered by Col. J. Monroe John son, director of the office of de fense transportation. An ODT spokesman said rail roads entirely operated by oil, such as the Southern Pacific, will be permitted to handle freight shipments within their own systems, but will not be allowed to move freight for pickup by connecting steam lines. A state of emergency pro claimed in Chicago, by Mayor Edward J. Kelly came on the heels of an edict from the Il linois commerce commission rationing electricity to commer cial and industrial customers of nine power companies serving 5,000,000 persons.

Gets Slap both English and Japanese at the nine-justice international tribunal's first session, Okawa once an official of the South Mnnchurinn railway prayed with gestures and unbuttoned his blouse to bare his thin chest. Then, with a cunning grin, he leaned forward and slapped the unsuspecting To jo on his shaven head. The smack echoed in the auditorium, crowded with sober-faced officinls and spec tators. The shocked former premier looked up quickly from the copy of the indict ment he had been studying then turned and looked at the man in the row behind him with a sad, understanding smile.

Unions Stand Firm On Demands By Tha Aaaociatad Praia Threat of a nationwide rail road strike came from a new quarter today ai the pyramiding effects of the soft coal strike applied new brakes on the na tion's industrial effort and forced a SO per cent reduction in pas senger service by coal burning locomotives effective May IS. Three railroad operating unions, representing conductors. switchmen and locomotive fire men and enginemen, notified management in Chicago they wanted an additional $1.20 daily wage boost and that a strike would "actually occur" unless settlement is reached. The unions were awarded a daily wage hike of $1.28 last month. The new strike threat came 24 hours after representatives of the Brotherhoods of Railroad Trainmen and Locomotive En gineers broke off negotiations with the carriers seeking to avert a nationwide strike by those unions set for 4 p. m.

Some thought he might by try ing to impress the court that he was not mentally able to defend himself. However, his slapping of Tojo.who chanced to be seated in front him, ap peared playful rather than in wrath. As the day's sessions end ed at 4:40 p. m. clerks had waded through 47 of the 53 counts in the bulky indict ment.
