CITY ISSUES There are seven proposals for cnarier amenamenis on tne Klnm- i ath Falls city ballot, to be voted upon in tne a town precincts. , The proposals are: A three-tenth of a mill contin uing property tax levy to support the public lounge. The lounge fa cility has been operating about three years on funds out up by the county and city governments, and two years ago a city tax levy for Its support was voted down bv a count of 2,539 to 2.353. Despite the setback at the polls, the City Council decided to continue its share of financing the facility, at approximately 12.000 a year. That's about what the tax levy would bring In. Allow persons wishing to run for certain city offices (Mayor. Police Judge. Councilman. Treasurer) to file by paying a fee rather than by having to circulate petitions. This proposal should be approved, to remove one more outdated prac tice from the provisions of the city charter. A one-mill two-year property tax to raise approximately (28.000 for major repair work on the city sew age disposal plant.' The work hat been ordered bv the- State S-tnltarv Authority. - This levy probably should be approved. SWIM POOL A mill and a half seven-year property tax levy to raise approx imately 8150.000 for the construc tion of a swimming pool. This Is a hot one. Mosfpersons agree the city needs a swimming poof? but the ballot proposal has been at tacked as too indefinite, not saying what kind of a pool, outdoor or Indoor, or where lt is to be built. or when. The City Council has stip ulated lt should be built on city owned hot water property located in tne 1800 block on Mam. II the tnx levy is oksyed. the Recreation Department could borrow against the future earnings of the levy to get money lor an early start on the pool. Raise the Mayor s pay from $175 to 8500 a month. This is another hot one. The principal idea of the proposal Is to make the job more or less full time. At the present pay rate, the Mayor has to either have a going business which he can neglect or be retired and fi nancially independent. The argu ment against the raise is that it probably would stvmle lor mnnv years getting the City Manager sys tem of government Instituted here. City Manager sentiment is grow ing lost. Another argument against the 8500 salnrv is that it is 8 figure no. tig enough to attract top flight men to the lob. but is big enough to attract a lot of second-raters. PARK BOARD Unify control of property, funds. duties and authority of the Recrea tion Committee and Park Board under the City Council In other words, this proposal is aimed at ending the rather autonomous ex istence of the Park Board, which has feuded with the City Council for several years. Members of the Park Board are unanimously against lt. and might resign In a body If the proposal passes. This is tne hottest proposal on the ballot School Budget Victories Slim Klamath Falls' elementary nnd high school budgets' for 1952-53, nnd the lnx levies attendant, were approved by school, district voters Wednesday but the margin was slim. The total vote was the heaviest in many yenrs. and the "no" votes the protests piled, up in nmnzlng fashion. The elementary school budget totaling $789,299.45 was okaved by a vote of 346 to 262 and the tax levy passed bv 326 to 279. The Klamnth Union High School budget of $551,903.77 was approved bv a 358 to 262 tally and the tnx levy passed 347 to 275. A year ago only . 313 .persons cast ballots in the elementary school election nnd npproyed the 1981-53 ' budget by 298-15. At the same.-time the total vote on the high school budget was .lust, 342, witn hi tor ana w against.- This year 608 persons voted In tho elementnrv eleetlnn and Rid In the high school election. BAN ADVERTISEMENT LONDON 1 The British gov- eminent announced Thursday It wilt ban all radio advertising for an other 10 years but left the door open : to commercially sponsored television. wnen times are better. No. 282 Uurnout It's loaded. Certain members of the Council would like to be able to tell the Park Board what to do and how to operate. They claim they get the rap for what the Park Board does or doesn't do, and can't do anything about lt. On the ether hand, Park Board supporters claim it's an attempt to make the parks a political plaything. Consolidate the duties and au thority of the City Treasurer with those of the Police Judge. This measure would abolish the elec tive, part-time Job of City Treas urer, and possibly save the city S100 a month or so. But the two jobs were set ud with almost con current duties so one could be a check on the other, consolidation might streamline a part of the city administration, but It might also put too much unsupervised authority in tne nanas oi uie route Judge. Copco Hearing Set June 30 The Federal Power Commission has scheduled a hearing in Klam ath Falls lor June 30 on applica tion of the California Oregon Pow er Company for a license to build a hydroelectric development on tne Klamath juver. The project is Copco's planned Big Bend No. 2 dam and power plant which would be located down stream irom n.eno. . : I Application for the license was filed with the Federal Power Com mission April 19, 1951. - The meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. in the Klamath Falls Armory. Jointly with the license applica tion. the commission has ordered the company to show cause why lt should not file application for li cense for the existing hydroelectric developments the company oper ates and maintains along tne Klamath River in California and Oregon, Including the local power plants.

Calif. 11 Callfnr. ilia's Humboldt and Shasta Coun ties, traditional rivals for Trinitv join In keeping California water irom Oregon. Humboldt Countv Knnprvleni-R Chester Peterson and Marvin Krel came here from Eureka Wednes day to talk over the situation with Shasta County officials. "Oregon Is trying to dip into California's , water, nnd they're going to get a little wet," said Lee Brown, spokesman for the Hum boldt County Water Resources committee. "We fight with Red' aing and Redding fights with us. But when Oregon starts to move in, we'll fight together." The move came after it was announced locally that State Sen Randolph Collier (R-Yreka). of California's northernmost Siskiyou and Del Norte Counties planned a public water policy meeting with three unnamed Klamath Falls Ore., men.

BARNARD TOKYO Ufi Gen. Mark W. Clark Thursday , repudiated the much criticized "COLson agree ment" with Red prisoners of war on Koje Island. "It has no validity whatsoever," Clark said. The United Nations commander said Brig. Gen. Charles Colson, temporary prison camp command er, since removed, had no author ity to "accept any of the vicious and false charges" made by the Reds. Colson signed the statement to win the release of Brig. Gen. Fran cis T. Dodd. former prison camp commander. North Korean prisoners held Dodd hostage 78 hours last week. PROPAGANDA ;r Communists are now using the agreement for propaganda in truce negotiations. Gen. Clark announced: "The exchange ot communica tions between Brig. Gen. Colson and the inmates of Compound 76 who were holding Brig. Gen. Dodd by force and violence has no valid ity whatsoever. "The circumstances under which these exchanges took place from the very beginning were those cf duress involving the physical threat to the life of a UN officer. "Investigation made so far indi cates that this affair was care fully prepared to manufacture pro paganda for the purpose of be clouding the whole prisoner-of-war issue at Panmunjom (truce) nego tiations. "Gen. Colson's authority to deal with the prisoners in Compound 76 did not extend to authority for him to purport to accept any of the vicious and false charges upon which the Communist demands were based. HEAVY FIRE The Colson agreement: under which the POWs released Dodd Saturday night, is under heavy fire in wasmngion. The v. fc. MUltary command ana some Congressmen declared it im plies the UN command treated prisoners or war in innumane lasn lon. All echelons of the TIN Com mand say this Isn't so. Statements which drew particu lar censure, and which North Ko rean Gen. Nam II seized upon for new verbal attacks on the Allies in Panmunjom truce talks, were: "Manv prisoners of , war have been killed or wounded by United Nation's forces." Prisoners "can " expect humane treatment in the future." "There will be no more forcible screening." American authorities quickly stated: Prisoners have been killed, only In riots Instigated by the Com munist prisoners themselves; pris oners have been treated humane ly: and there never has been "for cible screening" to determine whe ther prisoners want to go back to Red rule. The Colson agreement also pro vided for prisoner committee. Colson has been returned to Ills old command as chief of staff of the First Army Carps in Korea and Dodd is back with.U. S. Eighth Army headquarters. Rebellious Koje prison camp Is now under command of an old China hand. Brig. Gen. Havdon Boatner. He relieved Colson Tues day. .
