Irate Council
For rocket Filing Policy
An Indignant city council laat
night dealt a reaounding verbal
blow to the policy of Mayor Ed
Ostcndorf, Interrupting several
weeks In which domestic peace
and harmony reigned In tho
city's official family.
Although Mayor Ostcndorf was
absent from the session, his way
of conducting city business took
a verbal beating from members
of tho council, with Rollln Can
trail setting the pace.
The anticipated discussion con
cerning tho installation of park
ing meters fell flat because the
recommendation from the traffic
safety council regarding the me
ters did not appear on the coun
cil docket. According to Police
Judge Harold Franey, the orig
inal rcconunendation had been
turned over to the mayor on the
assumption that it would appear
on the council peg.

some 25 retailers who had come
to register opposition to the me
ters listened to the council as it

porters.
Edward R. "Burke, head of the
Southern Coal Producers asso

proposal from Fuller.
At tho headquarters of John
L. Lewis, of the United Mine
Workers, an official said that
to characterize the Fuller pro
posal --definite proposition
for settling the strike was
loke."
Informed of the reaction to
his statement of operators and
mine workers, Fuller said it
might be anticipated that both
sides would deny a proposition
had been made, because neither
party would care to be placed
in the rjosltion of relectini
such a proposal In a time of

tion.
Council's Hands Tlad
Paul Landry, council presi
dent, who was acting mayor last
night, explained that the council
could do nothing in the way of
opposing or approving the rec
ommendation since only one
member of the council had seen
a copy of it. He asked, however,
that the merchants express their
opinion.
The retailers, Including N. E.
Long, president of the Klamath
Merchants association, and N. B.
Drew, told the council of their
feeling on the parking meter
altuation, stating that they are
in unanimous opposition to their
installation.
L. E. Judd, a representative
of the Klamath Suburban league,
and Thomas Faye, representing
the Teamsters' union, made
known their disapproval of the
meters.
Tho council listened quietly
and noncommittally to the opin
ions offered, saying only that
when the parking meter ques
tion officially comes before the
council, the merchants and others
interested will be called upon
again.
Survey Agreed Upon
The council agreed with the
merchants in their suggestion
that a survey be made to deter
mine how the people of Klamath
Falls feel on the parking meters,
but it also said that its hands
are tied until the recommenda
tion comes before the council.
A storm of protest from Rollln
Cantrall voicing the council's
feelings followed. "I don't like
this way of doing business," he
said. "I'm tired of this sort of
tiling. I would like to register
in the minutes for the attention
of the mayor my opposition to
his giving publicity on matters
concerning the council before
the council knows anything about
It. I'm sorry Ed isn't here to
night, and I'm saying nothing,
that I wouldn't say if he were
here. I'd probably be mora se-

Other members of the council
agreed with Cantrall's verbal
barrage as he continued: "The
people of Klamath Falls are get

thing. Things the mayor doesn't
want the council to know about.
he just puts in his pocket. It's
our own fault for letting him
do it."
More Blows at Mayor
A member of the council point
ed out that the chamber of com
merce had been consulted in the
parking meter matter but not
one of the councilmen, the may
or's sounding board, had seen
the original recommendation.
When it was discovered that
there was nothing on the council
agenda regarding the municipal
airport and progress on Insur
ance and the navy's interim per
mit, me council started anew
with more verbal blows at the
mayor.
Cantrall suggested that the
council arrange a meeting with
tnc mayor to explain Us situa
tion and demand that official
business be presented to the
council as It was originally in
tended. A meeting date was ten
tatively set for 4 p. rru today,

British Offer
To Quit Egypt
CAIRO. May 7 (IP) Great
Britain proposed today to with
draw all her armed forces from
Egyptian territory nnd entrust
to the nrmles of King Karouk the
defense of a strategic area on the
lifeline of the empire which Brit
ish troops have occupied since
1BBZ.
The British embassy, announc
ing the offer to take all military,
naval and air forces from Egypt,
said the move was preliminary
to negotiations for revision of
the 1936 Anglo-Egyptian treaty
of alliance.
The announcement, made with
the concurrence of Egyptian Pre
mier Ismail Sidky Pasha, said ar
rangements are to be made by
the Egyptian government to
make possiblye in time of War
or imminent threat of war mu
tual assistance In accord with
the treaty.
A withdrawal from Egypt
would remove the British forces
nearest the Suez canal, a link
in the British supply line to
India, Australia, Malaya and New
Zealand. Other British forces,
however, are stationed north and
east of tho canal In Palestine.

Iran Question
Muddled Again
. NEW. YORK. May 7 4Xy- The
United Nations security council
was presented with a new poser
today in trie lorra of a statement
by Iranian Ambassador Hussein
Ala that the situation in Azer
baijan province had made it im
possible for his government to
verify whether all Soviet troops
had been withdrawn from Iran
by yesterday's deadline.
In a communication addressed
to Secretary General Trygve Lie,
Ala said investigation by re
sponsible officials of the Iranian
government showed that all red
army troops had left the four
northern provinces of Khorassan,
Gorgan, Mazanderan and Gilan
as scheduled.
He added, however, that his
government could not ascertain
the situation in Azerbaijan be
cause it has been "unable to
exercise effective authority"
there since November 7, 1945,
due to Soviet "interference"-concerning
which Iran previously
complained to the security coun
cil. Swim Pool
Site Favored
The city recreation committee
this morning voted to recom
mend to the city council the pur
chase of the 2.28 acre Will Hum
phrey property on East Main
street for the site of a swimming
pool and recreation center.
An artesian hot water well is
on the site, for which the com
mittee proposed to pay $11,000
out of the recreation fund re
serve. The site is located in the 1900
block on East Main street. Mem
bers of the committee said that
the location with respect to the
population distribution of the
community, plus the presence of
hot water for the swimming
pool, makes it a most favorable
site for a general recreation cen
ter development.
The property appraisal com
mittee inspected the Humphrey
site and approved the purchase
price of $11,000, Mayor Ed Os
tcndorf told the committee.

- PORTLAND, May 7 (JP) A

institutions was approved by tha

Gloomy Forecast
On Men's Suits
WASHINGTON, May 7 VP) .
CPA Chief John D. Small's
gloomy forecast that men's suits
may remain scarce into 1948 to
day overshadowed industry sug
gestions on how to increase out
put 10 to 30 per cent.
The civilian production ad
ministrator slapped the govern
ment's cards on the table in ob
serving to suit producers:
"Anything we do now can'
alleviate the situation and help
meet the unprecedented demand
for suits. However, if that de
mand continues it may be a year
or two before the situation iJ
normal again."
The governor's statement alsa
said:
"If the superintendent wants
to adjourn school at 2 p. m. to
call all the teachers into a meet
ing just in order that he might
tell them what he will recom
mend to the school board 'if they
ask for it' that's his business.
"If the superintendent want
to Ignore Lanham act funds (fed
eral school funds which congress
is considering) entirely two
months before time to submit
the budget that's his business.
"If the superintendent want
to play politics with the Portland
schools that's his business, so long
as it lasts.
"But when the governor Is con
fronted with the serious and im
portant question of convening
the state legislature into special
session and desires to make an
investigation before so doing,
that's none of tha superinten
dent's business."
