U,mbir Audi' Huiaau OlrcsUllo A CALL AND A CHALLENGE Yesterday the people of the United States, some of them down-hearted and sore depressed, paid hom age to the name and mem ory of Abraham Lincoln he who stood on the battle field of Gettysburg follow ing the successful end of one of the greatest prob lems ever before the nation and paid reverence to past deeds yet looked toward the future with determin ation. On the eve of the an niversary of the birth of the man who was called "The Great Emancipator," Governor Murray, of Okla homa, called for such a leader today to guide the destinies of the nation. Many others in book and scholarly address have so prayed that another such man might be born to lead j the nation which ueorge Washington founded and which Lincoln perpetuated , in unity. I Tn tha rlrlrp delivered I in tne aaaress aemereu last evening by President Hoover he spoke of the character of the man Lin coln who raised in poverty, guided by sound p.-inciples and self-gained education, rose to the highest office and one of the greatest trusts known to the world. And that at a time when the nation faced problems of greater immensity than have since arisen. Our president called for courage, determination, re sourcefulness, resolution, ingenuity. He called for the American people as in dividuals to fight and keep on fighting, to work and keep on working, to use their best minds and in a constructive manner to not "pass the buck" but to re solve to do something about their conditions themselves. President Hoover, who himself rose from a posi tion as a poor orphan boy in the West to sit in the seat in which Lincoln sat, pointed out that the ideals tf T.inrnln tr.i.ptVior with , , i ins high Character, Sound j principles and effective and 1 . , t , . never ceasing wurk and his rnnratrp in trip fsiB nf tasks seldom delegated to man. overcame all obstacles and placed his name high on the list of the nation's statemen and heroes, to go down in history eternal. The spirit of America, the courage which made this nation and perpetuated it, the knowledge and abili ty to perform tasks deleg ated to each of us as in dividuals in our daily walks ot life have been chal lenged. Lincoln whom we most highly respect and honor is an example. Pres ident Hoover in his present fight for the American peo ple is our second. Shall we as true Ameri cans fail in fighting our own battles of life or shall we admit defeat and sur render? o A scientist says germs can be made to generate electricity.

Eighteen Years Ago In Klamath An alleged disagreement be tween Klamath Falls gamblers U being wade the subject ot a prob by the Klamath county grand jury, and on Wednesday several witnesses were be lore lha jury to give their versions ot the matter. Chief of Police Smith yesterday visited a room In the alley bavk of the corner of Sixth and Main Streets and In which It was claimed that gambling had been going on. Other so-called gamb ling hells have been reported and It is expected that several true bills will be returned by the grand Jury. For the purpose of educating themselves regarding the indus tries, products and resources of Klamath county, and to better fit themselves to become boosters and citizen of this section, stu dents of the Klamath county high school met at noon today and took steps toward the organi zation of a booster body, to be known as the Junior Klamath County Chamber of Commerce, One ot the biggest fraternal gatherings in Klamath Falls will be assembled here June 29, when members of Hillah Temple. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will make a pilgrimage here. In cidentally, while here, the visit ing host will escort a class of at least 20 local Masons across the burning sand. A drunken lumber-jack was arrested by Chief of PolUe Smith and Officer Greenwood about 7 o'clock last nieht after complaint had been made that he bad ac costed a woman on Main street. This morning the woman declined to appear against him, and he was fined for being drunk. It appears that the woman, the wife of a local business man, was walking along the street, en route home when the man called to her. She paid no attention to him, but he overtook her and took her by the arm. She broke away and ran home. Her hus band was Informed, and he made a complaint to the police. ORDER PHONE RATE PROBE (Continued from Page One) its rates and that there appeared to be no Imminent change of con ditions that would justify the omj.any in noioing out a belief that rats would be reduced. "Yiur committee was, snd Is, without funds with which to carry on any Investigation of the mat ter of telephone rates In Oregon, but It is unanimously of the opin ion that said rates are excessively high, unreasonable and unjusti fied. Your committee believes that there Is ample power In the administrative arm of the state government whereunder and by which said rates can be substanti ally reduced. "Your committee Is of the opin ion that the pacific States Tele phono should not be permitted to conduct business in the various municipalities of this state with out a franchise and that the flag rant disregard of said company evidenced by Its continuation of business wholly without a fran chise in some municipalities nf the Klate should not be tolerated." All nine members of the com mission signed the report. They were A. L. Barbur, Portland city commissioner, representing Gover nor Meier; I. H.

In message to a Berlin newspaper Mussolini recallrd his statement regarding Ituly'a policy of avoiding th possibility ot wars by revision of the post-wsr treaties and added that Italy de manded revision "not from na tional egotism but from reasous of Justice and morality, which alou can form th basis of Isst ing peace." In a gesture to Hungary. Mus solini said: "The revision of peace) treaties Is necessary to le slore a sense of security lo Eu rope. There ara moral wrongs, like the mutilation of Hungary, to be righted." Both Stalin and th Hungarian Minister of War recently made statements thst the Treaty of Versailles could not coutinua In definitely to regulate tha affairs of Kurope. Tha surprising extent and depth of popular resentment against France is one of the outstanding impressions an ob server receives in Ilsly. In an effort to obtain a com prehensive Idea of the griev ances, I made a list of tha prin cipal complaints against France mentioned to ma by the Italian man-in-the-street ranging from waiters, hotel clerks, army of ticera. journalista to government officials. Among the grievance and Irri tation mentioned were: That France helped arm and diplomat ically supports Jugoslavia. Italy's hostile neighbor! that Franc and the other allies cheat ed Italy out ot her rightful com pensation in territory for her war sacrifices: that Smyrna and part of Anatolia were promised to Italy In writing during the war but given to Greece; that Franc and England grabbed all the desirable Turkish possessions In Asia Minor and gave Italy who needed coloniea nothing: that France and the other allies re stricted Italy' territorial ex pansion at the head of the Adri atic In favor of Jugo-Slavla: that France wanta to be mistress of the Mediterranean. Other more recent grlevancea were: That Franc permits antl Fascist Italian political emigres to hatch plots In France; pulltlcal murders of Fascists in France by nntl-Fascists have been dealt with leniently by the courts:; the French pres has assailed and belittled Italy and been anll Fasclst; France takes every means to wean the hundreds of thousands of Italian Immigrants from their nationality; that France trie to force French citiienship upon Italians In Tu nisia, get rid of Italian schools and institutions altogether, they say, Italians developed Tunisia and out-number Frenchmen two to one; that France la Jealous of Italian Influence and commerce in the Mediterranean; that France refuses to admit Italv's rlghta to naval parity; and many others. Ther I also much suspicion and irritation with Jugo-Slavla tor a variety ot reasons, manv of which date back long before the wr when much of present-day jeio-oiavia was held by Austria Italy hereditary enemy. When asked what Italy wanted In any revision of treaties a prominent Italian said:: Colon ies. Territorial expansion. In 1941 there will be 47.0OO.00u Italians about 5.000.000 more than there are now. We must have somewhere to expand." This, I was told. Is one of the guiding principles or Mussolini's foreign pollry political and eco nomic expansion.
