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.

LaFollette
Backs Aid Plan
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 H For
mer Senator Robert M. LaFollette
iProg.-Wis.i said today that if
Western European nations and their
dependencies fall "under communist
control, we may not be able to main
tain our effective Independence.'
LaFollette told the senate foreign
relations committee, considering the
administration's proposed four-year
recovery program, that "today in
Europe there is a close race between
recovery and social disintegration.'
He said that economic recovery of
Western Europe will be "dangerously
aeiayea n not jeopardized" without
substantial help from the United
States, but made clear that basically
"only the European can save Eur
ope.
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. Nothing
the United States can do will be
effective unless the Europeans do
more.
Meanwhile, the house foreim af
fairs committee heard from Herbert
H. scheel that the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers is "all for the
Marshall plan, provided proper safe
guards are included." ,

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.
