WE worry over aoclal prob

AS we of the present look at
expanding Runala, we are
worried. We want to be friend
with the Russian, but we are
fearful of their motive and their
objective. We ee them pread

WHY were they here? Well,
baslrolly, they were here to
TAKE thia country, Including
California, for the wlftly grow

which then wa expanding first
It sphere of Influence and later
It BOUNDARIES as Russia now
is expanding hers.
Wo have been acutely worried
of late because Russians have
been Infiltrating Into the prov

the possible purpose of ultimate
ly tuklng it over for their coun

here? What were the mountain

were INFILTRATING thl area

WASHINGTON, May 14 (A)
John L, Lewis today demanded
exclusive union administration
of a $70,000,000 miners' welfare
fund which he proposes to raise

payrolls. ,
Tho United Mine Workers'
president declared the fund, to

Lewi told reporters at a

that the 7 per cent levy was
"ultra -conservative."

July Buckaroo Days Show
Klamath county will prob
ably go without a formal
Fourth of July celebration this
year, when it became known
Unit Klamath Buckaroo Days
would probably be cancelled
due to an Increase in the costs
of operation.
O. D. Matthews, president of
Klamath Buckaroo Days, and
M. E. Cornell, past president,
said today that their committee
ad no intention of holding a
1948 show unless arrangement
could be made satisfactorily to
the point where the show could
break even.
"First, the Rodeo Cowboys as
sociation, formerly the Turtles,
has demanded approximately
$1800 lncreaso in the prize list
for this year," Matthewa said.
"Second, the Klamath county
fair board has asked 10 percent
of the gros for rental of the
fairgrounds, which is more than
double what we've been pay
lug. The lose of the $1300 car.
nival fee, which we ' used' to
have waived and can be waived
according to law, is another
contributing factor."
All this, coupled Willi mo
20 rjcr cent of the gross which
automatically goes to the fed

possible for the show 10 Dreaa;

Matthews said that there was
no one particular reason why
the show had to be cancelled,
but the culmination of increase
in equipment, lack of facilities
at the fairgrounds, need for im
provements, and the demands
of the cowboys made It impos
sible to operate this year and
come out in the clear,
"However," Matthews said,
"if local bodies, such a the

Council Postpones Action
On Parking
By EDNA K1LLMEYER
Side-stepping a final decision
concerning installation of park
ing meters in downtown Klam
ath Falls, the city council in its
session last night voted to accept
the traffic safety council's rec
ommendation regarding the
meters as a matter of record, but
to postpone disposition of the
matter.
The - only evidence of last
week's stormy session was a re
mark from Mayor Ed Ostendorf
as he introduced the recommen
dation with "I'll go into my
pocket file and see if I can find
it." Several retail merchants
were present to register their
disapproval of the meters, head
ed by N. E. Long, president of
the Klamath Merchants associa
tion. "We advised the council of our
feelings last week," Long said,
"and there has been no change."
Opposers of the meters were
mopping their brows when An
gus Newton made a motion tifat
the council accept the recom
mendation with immediate ac
tion in installing the meters. He
said he favored a survey to de
termine how taxpayers feel on
the subject but since a survey
was not mentioned in the traffic

trial in an allied court. Keenan
promptly termed this challenge
"premature , , , a misconcep

under advisement and recessed
until tomorrow. Neither did it
announce a decision on yester

Seventeen hundred and fifty
Jewish refugees attempting to
enter Palestine illegally, the
first to arrive since a . British
American inquiry committee rec

000 Jews, were disembarked in
this heavily guarded port today.
' The refugees, from Poland,
Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Hun
gary and Romania, were taken
in buses, guarded by troops with
machineguns, to the Athlit de

quarantine they will be distrib

Their ship, the Greek cargo
vessel Smyrna, was intercepted
off Palestine last night and
brought to port by a British de
stroyer and two gunboats. The
Jews, bearing neither passports
nor immigration certificates, had
sailed a week ago from Con

A Jewish newspaper said the
Smyrna's passengers were the
first to have left a port under
Russian control and the largest
group of illegal immigrants yet
to reach Palestine.
A 16-year-old Romanian Jew

refugee ashore. Two . hundred
