County Cuts
Transient
Relief Cash
Notice from the county that tt w!U
make no more reimbursement lor
transient relief services was received
by the Salvation Army advisor;'
board Tuesday, and as a result the
board vofd to add $3500 to the Sal
vation Army request from the Com
munity Chest for the coming year.
The $2500 would be used to carry
on the transient relief program.
For several years tne county has
paid from welfare funds to the Sal
vation Army to cover the costs of a
part of the transient welfare work
performed by the Army. In the first
half of 1947, this amounted to some-
thino krnnnfl S17D0.
The board today received a letter
from Country Clerk c. r. Deup,
writing for the county court, notify
ing the Army that no money had
been budgeted for transient relief In
the oomlng year, and therefore the
county could not further reimburse
the Army for this type of work.
The Salvation Army had planned
to Mk for $12,025.40 from the Com
munity Chest for the coming year,
but had anticipated receiving the
usual county help In financing tran
sient relief work next year. Without
the county assistance, it was decid
ed to boost the request to the Chest
to $14,526.40.
, President James Kerns appointed
a committee to study the question
of financing transient relief for the
remainder of this year, as the Army
had anticipated county help in that
1 period. Board members advised
strongly against cancelling the tran
sient relief program, pointing' out
that this Is a major feature of Sal
vation Army work.
At the annual election of officers,
Mitchell Tillotson was named presi
dent of the board for the coming
year. Other officers are: Sam
Rltchey, vice president; J. P. Wells,
secretary, and Lloyd Porter, treasur
er. -
. Re-elected to the advisory board
were Arnold Oralapp, Malcolm Ep
.lay, J. P. Wells, John Houston, Mit
chell TUlotaon, U. E. Reeder, Charles
Stark, tdmund Chilcote and Lloyd
Low.

Work Rapped
The patching of Moore park roads
w&s under discussion Tuesday when
Burt Stott, superintendent of parks,
protested to the park board that
patching of small areas had not been
done satisfactorily.
The work was recently completed
by Warren Northwest Construction
company for the city. Stott main
tained that the small patches had
not been properly Joined with the
old pavement and would "pop up
like a cork" wren freezing weather
hits the area. Members of the park
board agreed to present the matter
at the next city council meeting for
consideration.
Members of the board will also
ask the city council to change the
name of the Klamath Memorial
park, the new cemetery, as the pres
ent name Is too easily confused with
the proposed Veterans' Memorial
park to be located on Main street.
The suggestion was advanced by
Andrew Collier.
Other business Included a report
by Fred Robinson on the proposed
development of the old high school
site on 5th and .High streets. The
park board Is attempting to obtain
the land from the city and county
for a park and- recreational center.
The city council has agreed to co
operate in securing the land now
owned by the county. Representa
tives of the nark board met recently
with County Judge U. E. Reeder, who
agreed to temporarily withhold this
section from sale until the city
and county should work out satis
factory arrangements for transfer of
the land.
Mayor E. Ostendorh will Investi
gate the possibility of obtaining a
quonset hut for a warehouse to be
erected at Moore park to house
equipment.

Defense
Rests In
Navy Trial
NEW YORK. Aug, 6 (AT The
defense rested today In the nixvy
court-martial trial of Chief Sig
nalman Harold K. Hlrsliberg, 29,
accused of maltreating fellow pris
oners In prison camps in the Philip
pines, and the prosecution an
nounced it would call rebuttal wit
nesses. The defense rented Its case after
one of its witnesses denied under
cross-examination that he had of
fered his aervirex as a machinist
to the Japanese.
The witness, Lt. U. CM Lyly
Orcutt, 37, of Potosl, Wis., now
assigned to the Orel Lakes naval
training stntlon. Chicago, was asked
bv Lt. Cmdr. Fred H. Frey. Jude
advocate. If he had olfered his
services as a machinist to the Japa
nese when he was Imprisoned as
an enlisted man.
"I positively deny that." Lt. Or
cutt exclaimed.
Lt. Comdr. John J. O'Nell. de
fense counsel, objected that the
query waa an attempt to question
the integrity of the witness who
testified yesterday that he' and
other section leaders besides Hlrsli
berg had slapped fellow prisoners
of their commaQds.
Orcutt described Uie Job of sec
tion leader as "the biggest head
ache" In prison camp. He said he
hiid been a section leader In the
Philippines and when he was trans
(erred to Japan he was appointed
a section Vader but declined.
Asked If he had anything to say
voluntarily, Orcutt told the court:
"It Is my belief that Hirsnoersj
tried to do the best he could for
his section. Hlrshberg got outside
details In Manila because he knew
his men wanted them. He went
to more trouble to rwlp his section
than any other leader."
