It un doubtedly f a vors moves made last week end by Secretary of Defense James Forrestnl to streamline operations of the army, navy and air force.

Republican Registrations May Top Democrats For County List By the time registrations are counted late next month, there may be more republican voters on the Klamath county poll books than there are democrats. County Clerk Charlie DoLap snld thnt a surprising number of I persons who have been registered democrats are coming to the court house to switch their allegiance to the republican ticket. In 1946. Just before the Inst general election, there were about 18,000 registrants for Klnmnth county, and over 10.000 of them were democrats. But since thnt time around 7000 nnmcs have been cut off the list becntise of failure to vote and new registrations have been preponder antly republican. Registration deadline Is 5 p. ill.. April 20. Reason for the switch-over apparently Is the fact thnt the rcpublt enn pnrty this election Is affording contests all along Uie line In the prlmnry, while the democratic party has very few contests for nomina tion. Tho state and county democratic ballot for tho May 21 primary will glvo pnrl.y voters n choice In the matter of nominee for U. 8. senator, with two cnndldntes; for secretary of state, with two candi dates, and tor Klnmnth county sheriff, eight cnndldntes. Otherwise, the parly ballot hns only one candidate for ench position. For almost every Job open there are scvernl republican candidates nnd consequently the OOP prlmnry Is expected to hold the most Interest Another electoral problem Is facing the county clerk's office, that of locating election day workers for- day and counting boards. The following city products are short of workers: 6, 8, 11. 13, 14, 19, 24, 25, 27 and 30. Workers should be registered voters In the precinct of their employment. sec sion. In the current survey a ond question was as follows: "Would you be willinr to pay more money In taxes to support a larger Army? Navy? Air Force?" The national answers: No No opin. 55i 36 9". Ye Pay taxes fo larger Army Pay taxes for larger Navy 55 Par taxes for larger Air Force . 63 Support for Increasing the armed forces is fairly evenly distributed tnroughout the population. On the first question voters with college education are not quite as strongly Inclined to want a larger army as those with less formal training. They vote more heavily. however. lor a larger air force than thf national average. The opinion of World War II vet eians is shown In Uie following table: Veterans Only No Yes No opin. Increase Army 64 31 5r Increase Navy 65 29 6 Ii'crease Air Force 78 18 4 The only geographical section giv ing less than average support to the increases Is the West Central states, with the Southern states reg isiering the highest proportionate vote of approval. By age groups there Is little varl atlon with people over 50 years of age being slightly more in favor of increased strength than younger voters. Previous Institute polls have shown the public overwhelmingly In favor of Universal Military Training and opposed to a reduc tion in military budgets. LA Cops Ponder On Imponderables LOS ANGELES, March 19 W Policeman J. N. Coberly entered a tavern early today Just In time to find 12 customers and the bartender held at bay and a masked gunman, with $542 from the till, going through the door of the little girl's room. "Ho-hol" thought Coberly. "The guy took the wrong door; we've got him I" He locked Uie door marked "Ladles," then called for reinforce ments. When the cops, with drawn guns, cautiously opened Uie door they found, alas, Uiat the powder room had a window. That left them with a natural question: "How did the stickup man know that?" Five Killed As Twister Rips Illinois By The Associated Press Tornadoes or high winds swept through five states today killing at least five persons. Injuring scores and causing considerable property damage. All the known dead were in Illi nois, hardest hit state. Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas also were lashed by destructive winds. Two children were also reported killed and an undetermined number injured today when a tornado wrecked a church and damaged a schoolhouse at Landeck, 14 miles west of Lima, O. The steeple was blown off St John's Catholic church and fell on a parochial school building across the road. A tornado cut a path through the town at Bunker Hill. 111., a commu nity of 1500 population 40 miles northeast of St Louis, Mo. At least three persons were killed there. At least 35 more were reported injured. The Red Cross dispatched field kitchens for 1000 persons from St. Louis. Twisters also struck at Alton. New Athens. Fosterburg nnd Freeburg, in Southwestern Illinois. Two were dead at Gillespie. At least 35 were reported injured at Fosterburg. The known dead were Identified as Mrs. H. C. Bassett, Mrs. Lydia Brueggmann and Mrs. Sadie Titche nal, all of Bunker Hill, and Mrs. David Passetti and her 16-months-old daughter, of Gillespie. Fire Chief Henry Andrews of Gil lespie estimated damnge In that community alone would exceed $300,000. Henvy rains preceded the twister in Illinois, causing flash floods, damaging property and disrupting train and highway travel. Vandenberg Backs Plan In Senate WAXHIMCTflV M.h la . Senate republican leaden seemed near a-rr Mmrnl Inrfav nn - nlan In rerlster but delay drafting tha nation s young men for military service. The wait-and-see proposal under study by Senator VandenberC IMich.) and Taft (Ohio) would call for speedy paaaage of laws to revive elective aervice In the lace M atepped-up communist pressure In Europe. Selectees would be chosen and put on notice. But congress would not push the button for Induction unless or until: l voluntary enlistments continued to lag or 12) the world situation grew so grave as to call for partial or full mobilization of a citizen ' army. Spur Enlistment The prime object of such a law would be to spur Immediate enlist ments of those subject to call, thus filling vacant ranks in line with President Truman's plea for strengthened armed forces. This republican answer to Mr Truman' request for universal mili tary training and a limited revival of selective service la known to have the enthusiastic backing of Vanden berg. He is the senate's presiding officer and head Its foreign, rela tions committee. Taft told a reporter he la inclined to support the plan but has not made up his mind finally. , House Ready Meanwhile, an informal poll of tha- house armed services committee showed today that group probably would approve an outright draft re vival at once. Fifteen out of 33 members said they favor such a step and only four listed themselves as definitely opposed. The standby plan developed at a time when Mr. Truman's proposal and policies were under fresh attack from his fired cabinet member, Hen ry A. Wallace. In a radio address lat nffht, Wallace charged that the Truman doctrine of supporting communist threatened countries la being ex tended "to the point where it threatens the life of every human being in the world." He complained that St Patrick's Day speeches Mr. Truman's in cluded were "hysteria-breeding." The thtrd party presidential can didate demanded to know "why have we reached this crisis in world af fairs?" . . . Some republicans said they want . to know that, too. But they war careful not to side with Wallace. And almost none of them, including Taft. would comment on the former vice president's charges.

Operators Ask To Negotiate . WASHINGTON, March 19 tin Soft call operators today appealed to John L. Lewis to end the mine shutdown and offered to negotiate on his deinar.d for miners' pensions. The pension demand is the key to the dispute that touched off the five-day-cld walkout, which already has forced a cutback In rail and steel operations. Producers, who account for three fourths of the nation's soft coal output, made their plea In a letter to Lewis. They charged that the mine shut down violated their work agreement with Lewis" United Mine Workers. Charles O'Neill spokesman for the major opera rors. said they wanted to sit down with Lewis and talk over the pension dispute. But he made it clear tney would not move until he sent the 350,000 idle miners back to work.
