Uf U, Per Twt More Murders Laid On Nazis WASHINGTON, May 18 iPh Evidence tht approximately 200 American prisoner of war were n.urdered by nazii In a hitherto unrecorded incident of the 1944 battle of the bulge wai reported today by army officials. Members of the civil affairs division war crimes branch raid the Americans were slain De cember 23, 1844 at Le Glelie, Belgium, Thla was 10 miles west of Malmcdy, where 115 American soldier prisoners were massacred six days earlier. Officials said evidence of the newly-discovered war crimes was uncovered during prepara tions for the trial of 74 Wehr macht veterans at Dachau, Ger many, for the Malmedy slay ings. Some of the evidence resulted from work of American graves registration companies searching for the bodies of American soldiers who were killed when the nazis smashed through the Ardennes in a vain attempt to break allied lines. Those tried at Dachu are ac cused specifically of slaying 76 Americans, although allied head quarters announced at the time that 115 unarmed prisoners who were members of a field artillery observation battalion were shot down at Malmedy. Th nnri farine trial at Dachau include General Josef Dietrich, commander oi uie om SS Panzer army, and Maj. Gen. Fritz Kramer, his chief of staff. Engineer Sees Hospital Sites L. A.

He was a guest Wednesday of the chamber board of directors at their luncheon meeting and following the dinner visited the Weyerhaeuser Timber company with Charles R. Stark, chamber manager. T. S. Durment, pub lic relations man for Weyer haeuser, served as guide, show ing the party about the mill. This is the third trip Warren has made within the past three weeks to Klamath Falls in con nection with this business. He was accompanied on this trip by his wife and son, Billy. They left Wednesday evening to re turn to their home in Sheridan, Wyo. Russ Withdraw In Manchuria NANKING, May 18 (VP) Chinese Vice Minister of For eign Affairs Liu Chieh said to day he had been informed that all Russian troops had been with drawn from Manchuria. "I would think this includes Dairen," Liu said. Presumably Port Arthur would not be affected. It becomes a Soviet naval base under the Chinese-Russian treaty. Liu reported that Moscow had yet to reply formally to the Chinese government regarding the withdrawal. He said the information came from Gen. Tung Yen-ping, head of the Chinese military mission in Vladivostok, who had receiv ed an "informal" official notification. Bock To Klamath -1 jpm- i St. COL.

An escrow agreement Is in ef fect at the First National bank here, and when growers have deposited $100,000, the funds will go to a trustee, who will disburse them for the construc tion and equipment of the fac tory. Klamath Trust To Be Picked The local men said that the Northwest Chemurgy is agree able to the appointment of a trustee to be selected by the Klamath groups. All who subscribe will be come stockholders and members of the Northwest Chemurgy Co operative. It is not planned to form a separate cooperative here. Purpose of the starch factory enterprise is to develop a profit able method of disposing of low er grades of potatoes in the Klamath basin area. Not more than 15 per cent of the pur chases of potatoes for the plant can be from non-members of the organization. In a year of ex cess low grade potatoes, grow ers will dispose of their pota toes through the plant in ac cordance with the amount of stock purchased. The Klamath plant will have a capacity of 200 tons of pota toes a day. Merrill and Hat field are being considered as lo cations for the plant. Next step after development of the starch factory will be the addition of a glucose plant, to be moved from Linden, Wash., to the Klamath area. Starch will be converted into glucose, weight for weight. The local committeemen said they had been advised by offi cials of Northwest Chemurgy that there is an unlimited mar ket at this time for glucose. which is widely used in candies, soft drinks, beer, syrups, etc. Malin Scholars Win Essay Prizes MALIN, May 18 Awards in the essay contest sponsored by the auxiliary of Malin post, American Legion, were present ed to winning students of Malin schools Monday by Mrs. Elzie Roberts, Americanism chairman.

Roof Climbers Fool Police This Time Two weeks ago city police were called to work on a case In which two young girls climb ed to the roof of a 6th street hotel, apparently ready to leap off. Those girls, when a patrolman spotted them on the roof, went back down through the hotel and disappeared from the building and from town. They were later located at Pendleton and that, police believed, washed up the case. But this morning the police desk sergeant received a hurry call to have a car come to the Pelican theatre where two young girls had been seen climbing to the roof of the theatre building. Investigation showed that a couple of usherettes had scaled the building, not with the idea of jumping off but of taking a sun bath. Feathers are 100 per cent pro tein, and science predicts a great future, for them as material for plastics. I Dapei (Continued from Pag One) ACT, insteiul of merely talking. Besides, what good would It do if I starve myself alone? Unless EVERYBODY helps, nothing ef fective can be dune. The thing for our government to do la to TAKE the food that is needed and transport it to the. starving and apportion what is left among all of us." That is pretty sound reasoning.
