These and other possibilities

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

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

"Japanese language courses will

The writer said all American
territory taken from Mexico would
be returned to that nation.
"But California and Hawaii will
come under Japanese jurisdic

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

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.

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.

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.
QUESTIONABLE PUBLICITY
BATON ROUGE, La. (UPH-
Curt Seigelin, director of the Lou
isiana Department of Commerce
and Industry, noted in a request
for a tourist survey Thursday that
the stale doesn't advertise. Gov.
Earl K. 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.

Accused Thief
Asks Hearing
Dan Scott, 23, requested a pre
liminary hearing Friday on a
charge that he stole two duffle I
bags and clothing from a tourist
cabin near Chiloquin last week.
Scott was charged with burglary.
Officers said he rented the cabin
at Melita'g Motel on U.S. 97 but
did not stay in it. The next night,
they said, he came back and stole
possessions of the new occupants.
Judge D. E. Van Vactor set
10 a.m. next Monday for Scott's
hearing. . ,
In another district court case,
W. R. Chumley, 35, . Kingsley
Field, waived preliminary hearing
on a check charge and was held
to the grand jury under $1,500

Chumley was accused of pass
