These and other possibilities were explored in the Japanese magazine Shukan Bunshun this week in what it said was a re print Qjf an article that originally appeared in the magazine Senden three months before the fighting ended in 1945. Shukan Bunshun, one of Japan's most popular pub lications with a circulation of 600 000, called the article "foolish writing." The author of the 1943 article, whose identity was not disclosed, had titled his article, "A Proposal lor the Punishment of America It was written shortly ' after the death of President Roosevelt and during the great B29 fire bomb raids on Japanese cities. "There isn't one among us who doesn't long for the day when Japanese planes too will be bomb ing the American mainland," the article said. Japan should bring America to its knees and then impose numer ous reforms, it continued, and pre dicted: "U.S. presidents will not be allowed to remain in office more than two consecutive terms. iron, oil, flour, shrimp , . . lum ber for homes in Tokyo to be re built." The author said Hollywood movies had poisoned Japan Hollywood would have to be shut down. He called for the execution of Gen. Curtis LeMay, whose planes were bombing Japan, and the punishment of former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Grew, Adm. Chester Nimitz and Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur. America's greedy world ambi tions were caused by inadequate education in the moral and spiritual fields," the article con tinued. "Therefore Japanese edu cators rrmst be sent to the United States to teach ... "Japanese language courses will be compulsory in all levels of edu cation ..." The writer said all American territory taken from Mexico would be returned to that nation. "But California and Hawaii will come under Japanese jurisdic tion," he said. "This will prevent these people from reviving any ambitions in the Pacifier' The author concluded it would be best not to impose too harsh conditions. "Americans have their vulgar and inferior points," he said. "But they, too, have the ability to con tribute to the future welfare of mankind. One should not think of exterminating them Property owners along Lake shore Drive, hit frequently by fires in the last few years, got some tips this week from Jim Baker, chief of Oregon Technical Institute Fire Department and from "Buster" Gordon, chief of the Suburban department. Since no fire hydrants exist in that highly populous sector, the chiefs would like to see access roads to Klamath Lake opened up every block or two, so that fire trucks, which have to come a long way from headquarters anyway, would have to lose no time get ting pumping equipment to water. The men said an average of two homes a year burn there. Last month one belonging to Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Commons burned to the ground. "If it had burned in the afternoon instead of at night, the fire would have taken a half dozen homes with it," Baker said. He said an afternoon wind and heat would have sent flames racing before firemen could hook up equipment. They lost about 15 minutes, he Senate Passes Vet Bill; Adds $10 Billion To Pot ; WASHINGTON (AP) - Reject ing committee cuts, the Senate has passed overwhelmingly a bill adding another 10 billion dollars to veterans pension costs over, the next 40 years. The size of the vole 86-6 in the Senate Thursday and 226-34 in the House last June dampened today earlier speculation that the meas ure might be vetoed by President Eisenhower. , . The Senate made only minor changes in the measure . passed June 12 by the House, but the changes made further House ac tion necessary. : The Senate voted 75-20 to strip from the bill Finance Committee amendments cutting the 40-year cost of the measure by 21 billion dollars. . Sen. Robert S. Kerr 'D-Okla) who led the fight to knock out the committee cuts, discounted any idea Eisenhower would veto the bill, But Sen. Harry F. Byrd (D-Va), Finance- Committee chairman, noted that strong administration opposition to the House version had been expressed before his committee. . The principal Senate change Is provision to give veterans who have served since 1940 another one-year chance to obtain Nation al Service Life Insurance. THis is heavily opposed by the adminis tration The bill concerns only pensions for veterans with non-service-con nected disabilities and their de pendents. It would: 1. Put pensions for veterans and dependents going on the rolls In the future in a sliding-scale basis to be determined by need 2. Make eligible for pensions the widows of World War II and $1,200,000,000 more than present law over the first five, years. But, counting the full period be tween now and the year 2000, the Veterans Administration estimates the new sliding scale system would save about 12 billion dollars in payments to veterans them selves as compared .with the present program. , However, bringing in the World War II and Korean War widows would cost about 22 billion.--Thus the net cost of the bill, would be 10 billion, added to an estimated 105 billion under present law for the pensions over the next 40 years. Log Total Figures Told Nearly eight billion board feet of logs were yanked out of Ore gon's woods during 1958. That conclusion was reached by State, Forester Dwight L. Phipps His report was released this week The 1958 total measured nearly 150 million board feet more than the 1957 total. Phipps says that in dicates a trend toward growth of forest industries. Still, last yeaVs harvest was more than two billion feet lower than the record logging year, 1952. Douglas Couqty yielded the most timber last year with 1,360,722,000 board feet. Lane County was sec ond with 1,107,441,000. Klamath County produced a relatively pal try 165,073,000 board feet and Lake County 157,334,000. More than two billion feet came from forest service land, and near ly 100 million feet from Indian res ervations. The biggest chunk of timber by far, .almost five billion feet, came from privately-owned lands, includ-1 ing those of the Bureau of Land Management. The annual footage rate, though, is not an ultra-accurate baromet er of the lumber industry in the state,' Phipps says. Some logs go out-of-state. Some are imported. Others are decked or otherwise stored. said, finding access to the lake. Once they found it, other compli cations entered the picture. Suction lines need water three feet deep before they will func tion efficiently. Otherwise power ful pumps cause whirlpools, suck air into lines and lose their prime. This year, Baker said, water in the lake is extremely low. A bank bordering the high water line kept trucks from getting suction hoses out to deep water during the Com mons fire. Firemen also had to move a large log from the road before they were able to get to water. What the men. propose is that Lakeshore residents get together to plan and maintain access roads. The roads should go right down to solid ground as close to water as possible. That means the bank at high water mark should be leveled so trucks can get over It. Valuation of property in the Lakeshore area is high. "If owned some of it, I'd sure make arrangements for fire trucks to get to an unlimited supply of wa ter," Baker said. The chiefs both offered to come to the area to inspect access roads and to offer advice any time they are asked. Police Note Two Mishaps Extradition Charges Waived LOVES CONQUER MALEY WHITLEY, England (UP1) Sailor Jack Maley, whose first love is the sea, said Thursday his second love might have caused him trouble, but his third love made him forget it. Maley in court when two men -were tried for beating him up said his second love is flowers. His third love, he said, is beer. "I cannot remember the fight at all," he said. "I had been to a flower show and had about 18 pints." Two accidents, involving a mo torcycle, a car and two big trucks, were reported by state police today. Officers said the motorcycle driven by Herschel Leon Smith 28, Oregon Avenue, was making a right turn off Avalon Street at the same time a car driven by Amy F. Moehl, 1125 Lakeshore Drive, turned off Alameda Avenue to Eberlein Avenue. The two vehicles met on the Kbprlein Avenue bridge across "A" Canal. The accident occurred about 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Smith's small cycle was dam aged and he suffered head lacer ations, officers said. The trucks met on State Route 232, the Sun Mountain Road above: Kimball State Park, about 9:20 Thursday morning. Police said a tractor-trailer unit loaded with pulpwood logs was coming down hill when it was side swiped by an empty logging truck going uphill. Ben Jack Jones, 69, Chiloquin, driver of the empty truck, told police he had swerved to the left to avoid a deer and couldn't get back in his own lane before the loaded truck, driven by John Na than Plouffe, 36, Chiloquin, was upon him. Jones was cited for failyig to drive on the right side of the highway. The loaded truck tipped and logs were strewn over the road. The sheriff's office said Friday that Linton E. Oppegard of Klam ath Falls has waived extradition on a burglary charge and will be returned here from San Pablo. Officers said Oppegard was wanted here for the safe peeling job at Klamath Disposal Company August 3. Missing from the theft was (781 in cash and checks. Oppegard was arrested in San Pablo Tuesday when police there found burglary tools in his car. The sheriff's office did not say when Oppegard would be returned here.

Long interrupted: "1 don't know 'whether you should say that. We seem to be getting a lot of advertising lately." "But not for tourists," snapped Seigelin.
