Unknown Soldier Of World War II Poses Problem For Armv Memorial Division 13 IPi A croup of military men are roblem of how to select the "unknown u;&:i ss . : u f .! :i, irw ii til ; ii ilia v .m il m:; nws. noni:!iia: km Treaty WASHINGTON, Feb. (till wrestling with the pi nlriier" of World War II. Officials of the memorial division of the army quartermaster general's office said today the task is vastly more complicated than after the first World war, when virtually all American dead were in one battlefield France. The first problem is to decide from which of the many theaters of World War II, spread across the face of the earth, the unknown should come. When congress passed a law last year to provide for a com panion to the World War I soldier who sleeps at Arlington Na tional cemetery it ordered only that the body be that of a "serv- iceman." Soldier, sailor, marine. i airman or coastguard snian? This, too, must be decided. Meanwhile, the memorial di vision is pushing forward with its plans to bring home all war dead whose next of kin desire tt. The return of the first bodies is planned for August. War dead will begin arriving then from Pearl Harbor, where the initial casualties of the war-occurred. " j . A few days later the bodies of soldiers buried at Henri Chapelle, in Belgium, will be gin their journey home. From then on, theater by theater, the men who died overseas will come back to their family cemeteries or to a national cemetery, as preferred by rela tives. . ; About 385,000 men and wom en of the armed forces died during World War II of which 313.000 were army personnel, 50,000 navy, 21,000 marines and 1000 coastguardsmen. The war department will seek to determine from its rec ords the person authorized to decide the question of final burial, then send a letter of in quiry to that person. It will be sent when the time approaches to ship home the dead from a ' certain area. US Blocks Red Move LONDON, Feb. 13 UPhTne United States today blocked a Russian attempt to write into the forthcoming Austrian peace treaty a clause prohibiting pan German propaganda in any form and "propaganda hostile to the United Nations." The issue, cropping up a sec ond time at the four-power dep uty foreign ministers conference, was referred to the foreign min isters March conference in Mos cow. British sources said, after U. S. delegates expressed fear such a clause would justify fu ture interference in Austrian in ternal affairs. Gen. Mark W. Clark, U. S. deputy, said the question was one of freedom of speech. He was supported by the British delegate. Russia has dropped objections to active participation of 12 Eu ropean "little allies" in drafting the German peace treaty, but would limit such non-European nations as Canada, Brazil and Australia to secondary roles. Miners Stage Sitdown Strike LANSFORD, Pa., Feb. 13 (P) I A sitdown strike by 14 miners 600 feet underground today led to a sympathy walkout of 1200 j fellow workers. i Anthracite diggers reporting at the Lansford colliery of Leighi Navigation Coal company j refused to enter shafts after ! learning of the strike there. The - miners' action, remi- j niscent of the memorable under- ground strike of 1937 resulted j from what the strikers said was j the company's policy of docking j their pay when they failed to I work a full day. There was no 1 comment from the company. Huddled together without ben-! efit of blankets in the sub-sur-' face cold and dampness, the i strikers said they will remain in the mine "until we are reim bursed for our justified pay." Leaders of the United Mine Workers AFL who made an un successful attempt to persuade the men to return to the surface, said the sympathy walkout probably will spread to other mines in the area employing 6000 workers.

Dr. Btier, in an interview, de plored "the breakdown of the family unit" and declared: "Too few communities have enacted statutes assigning blame to parents of wayward chil dren." Fremont Ranks 5th In Value The Fremont national forest ranked fifth among the nineteen national forests in Oregon and Washington in the value of tim ber cut in 1946 according to a recent tabulation prepared by the forest service. The value of this timber was $406,494 accord ing to the tabulation. Only the timber cut from the Willamette and Rogue River forests in Ore gon and the Olympic and Colum bia forests in Washington yield ed greater value during the year. Although the local forest ranked fifth in value of cut, its rank in amount of timber cut during the year was seventh, in dicating that the per thousand price was slightly higher locally than for some of the other for ests. The volume cut on the Fremont in 1946 approximated the allowable annual cut under sustain yield management ac cording to James W. Thompson of the local forest staff. The value of timber cut on the forest should continue to be high ac cording to Thompson. Realty Board Talks Zoning At the weekly luncheon meet ing of the Klamath board of realtors, Wednesday, Frank Z. Howard, county surveyor, spoke to the board concerning HB88, recently introduced in the state legislature. Howard gave a detailed out line of the proposed measure, one of vital interest to all pro perty owners in the state and which concerns planning and zoning of suburban unincor porated districts. The proposed measure would provide for a suburban planning and zoning board, Howard said. He further stated that the bill is general in its form and is in the nature of an enabling act which would allow full control to the county court and the residents in the areas affected. The local board of realtors will discuss and take a definite stand on this bill in the near future. Robert B. Chilcote, presi dent of the board, presided at thet meeting.
