AND . mil v h Mountain View Units Available (Continued from Puge 1) J Mountain Vffw apartments varant ! now, and probably will or more i shortly. 1 Hayden said Hint the apartments are not in good repair but that his i money for maintenaiire is so .short i he could not hope to keep them in ; first-class shape. He said he would I continue such small maintenance as : he can. but would not promise any : major repair work. Vp To OVS ; Also Huyden asked Unit OVS : keep the umts occupied, and 'Jus Purvlne aereed to do. The housing administrator said he would not recommend that any of the units be torn down so long as they til needed and livable. Hayden said he was asking the government for $84,000 to operate the housing projects here for the next fiscal year, starting July 1, but that the appropriation probably would be cut He said that his cur rent funds for operation are running ! very low and there probably w ouldn't 1 be a cent to spend for maintenance toward the end of this fiscal year. ' The Mountain View units were 1 constructed in 1944 and 1945 prlmar j ily to house construction workers : at the Marine Barracks and meant i to be torn down within six months. I But the housing shortage has forced I them Into constant use. Money com 1 lng from rentals goes to the U. S. j treasury and cannot be used for ! maintenance. The units are furnished three-and-a-half room size, with a com bination kitchen, dining room and living room, and two bedrooms. Lights and water are furnished beating is not. Hayden said today the reason OVS students were not being accepted tor apartments in the better Shasta View project was that he had waiting list of 60 to 80 veterans who are residents of Klamath Fails and who need housing, and it would not be fair to take in students who are ! not permanent residents In prefer. ence to those living and working in town. Ballot Titles Readied Here Ballot titles are being prepared on two special measures that citv residents will vote on in the May ejection, as it looks now, the two, a park and a recreation levy, will be the only city measures on the May ballot. The city airport has asked for a 1-miU levy to cover the cost of maintenance of the municipal field, but city officials feel it wiser to hold off that levy until a later election. Mayor Ed Ostendorf explained the measures today. The park board Is as King tor a l-mill continuing levy. At present the $12500 annual in come from the 1-mlll levy already usea ior park purposes is being al most completely absorbed in main. tcnance and operation of Moore I park. The city owns several plots of jana along Main street between Link river and the Copeland Lum, ber yards, and purchase of the last section, which will complete the area, is now under negotiation. Should the new park levy pass, the additional $12,500 will go toward im provement and development of that sector as municipal park. The second levy is for l'i mills to be used for recreation purposes. With the u-mill levy the recrea tion department now has, operation is based on an income of only S6O00. With the new levy, if it is okayed ny voters, income will be In th' neighborhood of $18,600. With that figure, the city hopes U nave sufficient funds to develop several strips of poperty it now owns throughout the city. The areas will be made into playgrounds. The playground project will cover a 10 year development period. If a plan Is worked out to get a swimming pool for Klamath Falls, part of the money will be used for pool main tenance: however, there is not suffi cient money represented in the levy to undertake immediate construc tion of a pool. The airport levy has been widely discussed by the city fathers, and has been referred to the finance committee for a final going-over. Little hope Is held that it will re ceive an okay to go on this serine's J ballot, however, the mayor said. Chinese Pirates Asking Ransom HONO KONG.

If Europe is to be saved, he con tinued. "the Europeans must act vigorously to bring Inflation under control m ways' that are well under stood but far from painless.

Little Drop In Lumber Cost Seen NEW YORK, Jan. 28 UP) Anv rraucuons mat occur in lumber prices will be slight and probably temporary, Norman P. Mason, pres ident of the National Retail Lumber Dealers association, says. Mason, here for the 54th annual convention of the Northeastern Lumbermen's association, said mounting yard Inventories in the Northeastern lumber consuming area recently have led to sparse or dering by retailers. This, he said, may" result in some price reduc tions by mills of as much as 15 per cent. These will come from marginal operators if at all," he added. Mason said larger mills are In a strong financial position and can wait un til the seasonal drop in demand is reversed without lowering their prices. Divorce Case Leads . To 30-Day Jolt John H.
