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.

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

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

Doctor Sued
For Alleged
Negligence
A damage suit filed with the
circuit clerk today charges Dr.
Wayne MeAlotf, Klamath Falls
osteopath, with negligence in
the treatment of eight-year-old
Hurley Hay Olson's fractured leg
last September,
The complaint, filed by Mr.
and Mrs. 11. L. Olsru, parents of
the boy, asks for damages
amounting to $(1734.20 and costs,
including $1734.20 assertedly
spent by the Olsons for hospitali
zation and treatment for the boy,
and $5000 special damages.
The Olsens charge that on
September 8 of last year, Hur
ley received a broken left leg
and Dr. McAlee accepted him
as a patient, but that the doctor
was negligent in treating the in-
tury and the broken ends of the
lone were not set properly.
Dr. McAtee did not, the suit
charges, use means available to
determine if the sotting was
properly done, failed to give the
boy. proper attention after his
log was placed in a cast and that
the cast was placed in such a
manner that severe pressure
sores and gangrene developed on
the boy's body.
As a result, trie complaint
maintains, Harley was placed in
a local hospital, specialists and
surgeons were called in on the
case and the boy underwent two
major operations and mechani
cal devices were placed on his
leg.
He also had to be taken to a
Portland hospital, the suit reads.
The Olsens are represented by
L. Orth Sisemore. They are al
ready named as defendants in a
lawsuit for payment of $100 al
legedly borrowed from John Ir
win, attorney, while the young'
ster was in Hillside hospital.
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.
