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.

Home Best Cure
For Delinquents
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13
The place to cure juvenile delin
quency is in the home, in the
opinion of Dr. Joseph L, Baer of
Chicago, and that can best be
done by holding parents re
sponsible. 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.
