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."

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.

Yon Papen Called
Peace Advocate
NUERNBERG, July 23 M'i
Dcfense counsel for Kianjt von
Papen today described Hitler's
best known diplomat as a man
Interested only in peace, who
accepted ambassadorial posts in
Austria and Turkey only to work
for an amicable settlement of
Europe's problems.
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.

Jewish Terror
Stirs Attlee
LONDON. July 23
Prime Minister Attlee told the
house of commons today that,
"of all the outrages in Pales
tine, many and horrible in the
past few months," the blasting
of the King David hotel in Jeru
salem yesterday was the worst.
Attlee snld his latest figures
for "this insane act of terror
ism" were 41 dead, 52 missing
and 53 injured.
(Dispatches from Jerusalem
said 48 were known dead and
50 were unaccounted for).
The prime minister said all
available information was to the
effect the perpetrators of the
crime were Jews.
"As this house knows." 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.
Anthony Eden, speaking for
(he opposition, asked Attlee for
assurance that the labor govern
ment intended to take "every
step in its power and provide
the local authorities with every
sanction they might need" to
prevent recurrences.
Certainly, replied Ainee.
