battle of the bulge wai reported
today by army officials.

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.

Hospital Sites
L. A. Warren, appraisal en
gineer for the veterans adminis
tration, has just completed an
other examination of proposed
sites for a veterans hospital in
Klamath Falls. Late material
compiled by the veterans affairs
committee of the chamber of
commerce and the city planning
commission was also examined
by Warren.
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.

Potato Men
Seek Factory
(Continued from Page One)
reported favorably at a meeting
held this week.
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.

Mayor Calls For

Today, May 16, through July !
1, has been set aside as a period j
for motorists to make a special
effort to have their automobiles
checked and corrected for faulty

lsts individually and In organ-!

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

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.
