Girl Scouts Plan To Hold Bigger Camp In completing plans for aum mer camp, the local Girl Scout organization sees bigger and better camp at Camp Esther Ap plegate this summer. Florence McConahey, local executive director, who will direct camp, states that facilities have been enlarged to accomo date 75 girls a week. Camp will be open July 28. and will operate for three one-week periods through August 18. A trained staff is being assem bled. Miss McConahey recently returned from Seattle where she took a two weeks camp direc tors' course. She has had several years experience in both day camping and established camp ing. The waterfront director will be a Red Cross water safety instructor who will attend the Red Cross aquatic school for latest information and tech niques. There will be a regis tered nurse at camp, and trained experienced cooks will plan and DreDare meals. Campers will be divided into three groups according to age, school grade, and experience. Each group will plan its own program of hikes, cooK-outs games, dramatics, crafts, swim ming, archery, and camp fires, under the guidance of an adult leader. Pottary Work Planned A special project planned for this season will be clay model ing and pottery. The girls will make their own kiln in which to fire the pottery and other arti cles they make. For older girls who stay two weeks, some special activities will be available. Red Cross life saving instruction is open to girls 12 years old and over who can pass the preliminary tests. Two-week campers in the old est age group will be elegible for an overnight trip out of camp. There are still several vacan cies on the staff for women over 18 years old. On and after May 25 registration will be open to 11 girls 10 to 17 years old wheth er or not they are Girl Scouts. Thirty-three Scouts have already registered for one and two-week stays. Strike Strands Trains In K. F. (Continued from Page One) is Southern Pacific southbound No. 19, slated for arrival at 6:30 p. m. Barring a change in plans, the train jvill be brought into Klam ath Falls where the crew com pletes its run. The train will be held in the yards here. Passengers from No. 19 will be transferred to buses here, ac cording to Lloyd Stitt, SP dis trict agent. Pullman ticket holders have the privilege of us ing the sleeping accommodations on the train as long as they de sire. They may also use the dining car facilities as long as the food lasts, although the stewards are members of one of the striking unions. This leaves dining car facilities as a question mark in the situation. The buses will take the pas sengers to terminal points to the south. Northbound train No. 16 which left Sacramento at 10 a. m. today and is due in here at 9:35 p. m., will probably tie up at Dunsmuir, the end of the run for that crew. John Hoogen dyk, traveling agent for the SP, left on northbound No. 20 this morning, to assist passengers on that train in event of tie-up. Four Southern Pacific freights, and two Great Northern freights, were expected to be tied up here. J. T. Rink, SP's contract cor ral man, made rapid prepara tions today to care for all stock in cars held up here. Stitt said that 33 cars of livestock are ex pected through the SP yards In the next 12 hours, and the prob lem is to get cars spotted at the chutes. He said there is plenty of feed. Twelve cars of sheep were reported on their way from the north, bound for Willows. Calif. Wholesale houses reported a moderate supply of food on hand in their Klamath Falls establish ments. One local house reported five carloads of fresh stuff ar rived yesterday. Between 60 and 65 per cent of foodstuffs are brought into luamatn iails Dy ran.

Bulger Killer Obeyed Orders DACHAU. Germany, May 23 (P) George Fleps, identified as the SS private who fired the first shots in the Malmedy mass acre of American prisoners of war. said in a statement today that he raised his pistol after "we received orders from up ahead to bump oft the Ameri cans." In the document read to the seven-man court trying 74 for mer SS men and officers for wanton murder of unarmed American prisoners and Belgian civilians, Fleps asserted: "1 fired one shot at one of the Americans and saw him fall over. As far as I know. I fired the first shot into the field." Then, Fleps said, machine guns in the surrounding tanks of the column started spraying the Americans who had been herded into the field at the Malmedy crossroads during the early stages of the Battle of the Ardennes Bulge. Throughout the reading of the document, Fleps, a Roman ian, stared expressionless in front of him. He had been iden tified in court Tuesday by Vir gil P. Lary of Winchester, Ky., former first lieutenant who es caped from the field from which 71 bodies were recov ered a month Inter. Sgt. Hans Siptrott, another of the accused, said he was in the tank with Fleps and saw that Fleps was eager to shoot. He said he gave the order to Fleps because he had been ordered bv his company com mander before the start of the offensive to shoot prisoners. Door Left Open For Auto Hikes WASHINGTON, May 23 UP) OPA, slapping four to eight per cent price hikes on top of pre vious increases for new automo biles, kept the door open today for a possible further boost. At the same time chances virtually disappeared for any OPA-ordered cut in ceiling prices when the industry achieves full scale production. A high OPA official who ask ed to remain anonymous said the agency "does not plan to try to reduce prices" after cars begin to roll from assembly lines at the pre-war rate. Man ufacturing costs usually decline as production goes up. The official asserted that car makers "have had a pretty tough time of it" and that a price cut by OPA would be out of the question." But he added there could be another increase. Three already have been piled on 1942 auto prices. Present ceilings will stand, the official said, until the in dustry has "been operating at the 1941 production rate for three months. It may take some time to hit that stride. The ci vilian production administra tion reported last week that, due mainly to strikes, only 433,766 passenger cars were produced In the 10 months through April. It said this was just about a normal pre-war figure for one month.
