HI fuce flushed In anger, Whc.-ry shouted across the floor to Senutor G nl fey (D-Pu.) "You're a rubber alump." Ills assertion came during a noisy aesalon during which Guf fey and other senator were ordered by the aennto' preald lug officer either to end their audible floor huddle or leave the chumber. Always for Administration Wherry declared that Guffey had never voted ugainst an ad ministration measure. A Wherry continued hi ar guments for stripping OPA of even more controls than those recommended by a Joint con gressional committee, Senator Uridges (It-N. 11.) chimed in, too. Bridges aald "We've reached a pretty low level when you have to violate a law In order to buy a tout of bread." The time of a vote on tho ex lenalon legislation was uncer tain.

Canning Sugar On Hand Soon Simar for home canning will be available July 1 when spare stamp No. 10 become valid. This stamn will be worth five pounds of sugar per person, but it is unlikely that any more sugar will be released for can ning purposes. This stamp and spare stamp No. 9, which became valid March 11, nrc Dom good through October 31. Sugnr stumps were announced enrly this yenr to provide sugnr for southern stnte where fruit rlnen enrly. At that time house- wive elsewhere were bskcci 10 budget their sugar use for actual home canning and to plan It use to coincide with the ripening of fruits in their communities. Person who customnrily can fruit or Jnm for snle may apply for homo canning sugar for this purpose, not to exceed 250 pounds per family unit, and pro vided they received sugnr for home canning for snle In 1945. Although sugar rationing Is no longer being handled by local OPA bonrds. Mrs. L. C. Officld of the Klamath county bonrd, ventured an opinion on why sugnr Is still being rntloncd after a year of pence. One renson Is thut a great deal of the beets used for beet sugnr were not harvested last yenr. Even though enno sugnr areas, which were wnr cnauiiltles, have been re planted, it takes two yenrs for tho crop to mature, and there fore thla sugnr will not be ready until next year. Sugnr rationing represents tlve for this area is Mrs. Mnr Jorlo Lee In tho Bedell building, Portland. four-wheeled pop corn stand on the corner of Main nnd 8th where the United Stntcs Nntionnl bnnk building now stands. The era of the pop corn wagon is easily within the memory- span of Klamath's 20-ycnr-olds, who even nt thnt age look back wllh regret at the day tho man In the white chef's' hat closed the sliding window of his stand for good. Progress hns Invaded the pop corn business only to a certain point. There aro no more horse- drnwn wagons peddling the puffed kernels and there are no more mobile stands, but a pop corn stand in any form will always delight the young - in spirit. rtfglfi- .i-fHTH FALLS, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, Ta-.- Flames .7 ' 1 i ','V i. l,-V 1 -.""'

The Crimean and Chechen Igush autonomous Soviet so cialist republics, units of the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist republic, were abolished as such and reduced to the status of provinces of the federation; Total populations of the areas last were listed as 1,500,000 but a large proportion of Rus sians and Ukrainians, who lived in the republics and whose loy alty was unquestioned, were not removed. The banished residents' In cluded those who lived around the Grozny and M o s d o k oil fields In the northern Caucasus, near tRe high tide of the Ger man invasion. The action was revealed in published decrees of the Russian Soviet Federal Socialist . republic. Precisely hov- many were uprooted and where they were moved wcro not announced. (The revelations were tho first of f iclnl Russian . announce m e n t s of treachery affecting territorial units of tho Soviet Union during the recent war). A decree said "many Chech ens and Crlmeap Tartars . . . voluntarily and together with the German army waged an armed struggle against units of JUNE 28, 194S (Telephone "4 " , '1 l -. "" -;t '.' -. .

The decree also stated that "the main mass of the popula tion of Chechcn-Igush and the Crimean autonomous Socialist Soviet republics did not give opposition to these traitors and accordingly the Chechens and Crimean Tartars were resettled. The ministry of state control disclosed also that more than a score of factory, mill and mine executives had been punished for misappropriation or misusing funds in various kinds of plants and enterprises throughout Rus sia. The ministry said a favorite practice was the falsification of production reports by directors and sub-executives in order to increase the prize money which was paid as reward to them selves and their friends.

"Police car rides are dull," the fan and bubble dancer said, "and getting pretty silly. "But fan dancing must go on." Sally, wrapped in ermine, danced, wafting feathers.: The coat came off, and Sally danced in a flowing gown which nightly had failed to , cling through the show. The finale brought the gown down around her ankles, but in stead of iiist Miss Rand there were long-handle drawers and a gilded corset left. The policemen silently strode away. Said Sally after the show: "I just decided to tease 'em a little."

Fear Loss reared There was fear, too, that the region's multi- million dollar pear growing Industry would suffer even greater loss because the fruit plants, two oi ine largest in the district, could not be replaced before the August fruit harvest. A telephone call to the Medford Mail Tribune today however advised that other plants, including Reter Packing company, Pinnacle Packing company, Southern Oregon Sales and Bear Creek Orchards plant, would double up in their efforts to handle the entire crop. Over r.ere in ruamain rails, Andrew Collier of the Klamath Ice and Storage company, ad visMi that both the local and Tulelake plants would handle approximately 250,000 boxes of pears tor storage, xnis win re lieve the congestion early in the fall which the fruit opera tors of the valley are now an ticipating with the heavy loss on their hands despite the fact no storage facilities were lost in the valley. There is however, a heavy crop anticipated and local handling will aid materi ally.

There were threats of a complete shutdown of facilities from packing houses to retail markets in Los Angeles because of expressed dissatisfaction over the OPA bill provisions. Fish and fowl and eggs re placed the main meat dish on the country's dinner tables as hundreds of . butcher shops across the country closed. Oper ations in packing plants dropped to new all time low levels. The abnormally low volume of livestock at markets during the last two weeks has resulted in the lowest output in history at many plants.

But the men of the army navy, marines and other armed services from gold braided of ficers down to privates and ap prentice seamen were more In. terested in the time of the pay boost signing. , i ; .. The increases ranging from $25 a month for the privates up to $166.67 for the upper bracket generals and admirals will be come effective on the first day of the month following the pres idential signature. r Because the present stopgap -draft act dies at the end of thia month, Mr. Truman was expect ed to sign the compromise ex tension before July 1. But he was not under tha same pressure to sign the broad pay increase plan. Hence if he delays this until after July 1, all men on duty with the armed service would have to wait un til August 1 before collecting the extra money. . , - , Parade Draws City Societies Brady Narey, chairman of tha fraternal section of the rodeo parade committee announces that the fraternal organizations of the city are responding 100 per cent.
