City Council Votes Down Barracks A suggested nlan of using (he marine barracks swimming pool in place of a proponed pool to be constructed on city recreation property was discarded Monday niifht by the city council. A sur vey of the cost of maintaining the barracks pool, which was presented by the recreation com mittee, indicated that the pool "on the hill" was, financially, too big for the city to handle. Figuring the expense of trans portation, water, heating, elec tricity, and technical help, E. E. Hambrick, recreation director, pointed out that it would cost the city approximately $7000 per month to handle the barracks pool. Of the $7000 a month, ; $5000 would be a continuing ex pense for the entire year as the : staff could not be employed for Just three months and deprecia tion of the building would for- ; bid the closing of the facilities : for the nine-month period when , it would not be in use. Hambrick stated that the city - would have to provide free and adequate transportation to and ' from the pool if it were to be substituted for the proposed pool in Klamath Falls. This alone - would cost $1560 a month; water, $140; heating, $1500; electricity $100, and labor $3500. This out lay would make available not ' only the swimming pool but also - the bowling alleys and the gym ' nasium. In summing Up the whole plan Hambrick said "We would pay out $21,000 more for a three 'months' swimming program ' using the marine barracks than we would for a similar program : in our own city pool."

Klamath Valley Hospital Sold (Continued From Page One) oped (hat made it advisable for us to acquire the Valley hospi tal in order to extend adequate hospital service to all who need it." He explained that Hillside hospital has been "overflowing" with patients. Available To Public Hicks emphasized that both hospitals, although operated by the Medical Service bureau, are available for the use of the gen eral public, regardless of bu reau membership. Klamath Valley hospital has approximately 80 beds. It was built by Dr. Hunt, who completed the first unit of 26 beds in 1920. A second unit was completed in 1925. About three years later. Dr. Hunt built the Valley hotel, the original purpose being to use that structure as a dormitory for nurses in training. It has functioned, rather, as a general hotel, but many graduate nurses have resided there. Dr. Hunt said he planned to continue his practice here, but will take a vacation first. Dr. L. L. Truax will continue use of his present offices in the hospital building temporarily, but is expected to move to a new location later. i Hicks said the Valley hotel 1 will be operated as a hotel for the time being at least, but that It will become more definitely a part of the hospital as need for private hospital rooms de velop. The Hospital pharmacy which has been operated in the Valley hospital since ite begin ning, will continue there.

Dr. Eiion Kubuschok, in con cluding his final defense sum mary, said Hitler recalled Von Papen from Austria before (he 1938 anschluss, because Hitler realized that Von Papen would not follow a stern, radical politi cal course. Kibuschok said Von Papen hesitated in taking the post of ambassador to Austria in July, 1934, and finally accepted only because he alone would be in a position to fulfill this task within the (rameworK oi true pacuica' tion. Reward Posted In Saw Thefts The Burkhardt and Schortgen contracting firm, 1007 Kane, is offering $250 reward for the arrest and conviction of persons who have stolen three expensive power saws from company jobs in recent weeks. Deputy Sheriff Marion Barnes said today. Two saws were taken from the KFPA building on the hill at (he Wced-Ashland junction last month, probably hauled away in a (ruck. One of (hem was a Mall skill- type handle power saw, wtr(h $132, and the other was a Delta table saw valued at $190. Then last weekend the company lost another saw from a job at the Ralph L. Smith lumber com pany on the Weed highway. That was a DeWalt 12-inch blade table saw. worth $408. Another DeWalt table saw, same model, was recently taken from a job at the W. T. Mann cottages, near the KFPA's new headquarters, but not owned by Burkhardt and Schortgen. This equipment is badly need ed by the contractors in build ing, and Barnes asks that any information about the saws be called in to the sheriff's office.

Att lee continued, "his majesty's government is at this moment in consultation with the govern ment of the United States with a view to arriving at proposals for a just settlement of the Palestine problem, which will be placed before the represen tatives ol botn AraDs ana jews. "His majesty's government has stated and stated again that it will not be diverted by acts of violence in its search for a just and final solution of (his problem.
