March 20, 1941 PAGE EIGHT THE NEWS AND THE HERALD, KLAMATH FALLS, ORE. U-BOATS KEEP EYES ON U. S. SUPPLY LINE Br D.WITT MacKENZIE Associated Pratt Writer The surprise isn't in British Premier Churchill announce ment that German U-boats and battle cruisers have been oper ating on what he refers to as "the American side of the Atlan tic," but in the fact that they haven't been found in these wa ters before. Germany. Italy and Japan the triple alliance have made it emphatically clear that they con sider the United States already In the war because of our all-out aid to Britain. A natural corol lary is their presence on our side of the fence. Of course, their saying so won't put us into the war unless they back their charge with ac tion. When they start sinking ships 1300 miles off our coast however, it certainly creates what might be described eu phemistically as a delicate situa tion. Herr Hitler has declared that very ship bar none carrying supplies for Britain will be sunk. He has decreed that no Ameri can supplies must reach Eng land. Emphasis would seem to have been given this declaration by British admiralty figures issued Tuesday for Anglo-allied mer chant chipping losses For the week ending March 9 they were Bundles for Saving American Aircraft Downed at Sea p. I ..' .. v . V , I - .7, These are flotation bags designed to save Uncle Sam's land planet and their occupants if forced to descend on large bodies of water. They're being assembled at Goodyear' Akron plant for imme diate use. given as 98.232 tons, and for the previous week 141,314. These figures were contrasted with weekly losses averaging 75.000 tons in February and 53,000 in January. That's something for the allies to worry about. If England doesn't get supplies she will be hungry in a few months and her vital industries will have to close. In other words she will be beaten." Britain feels that the way to WET rv defeat the German submarine campaign is to supplement her navy quickly with more Ameri can warships. Assuming our non-belligerency, that could be done in either of two ways: 1. By lending more American naval ships to the British to man and operate under the union Jack. 2. By sending our ships out under their own stars and stripes to act as patrols to convoy mer chantmen. There seems to be no alterna tive. Actually, too, while Britain could man a considerable num ber more ships, she probably couldn't man a sufficient num ber soon enough to meet the emergency. That rather puts it up to our Uncle Sam to consid er how far he want to go. Now any warships which are convoying or patroling in the submarine-infested Atlantic lane are liable to be damaged or sunk. This means that if Amer ican warships should be used un der their own flag, and one of them got torpedoed, we should sure enough be in the war, of ficially or otherwise. Well, forewarned is fore armed. I might add that this is intended a my farewell appear ance in this column in the role of a spirit-doctor whose medium tells him that we Yankees are right out in the no-man's land of this conflict Once as correspondent in Grandmother In Jail for Hustling Itetiumes Untile SALEM, March 20 (J) A 61-year-old grandmother serving a four-year term on a cattle rustling conviction opened a new fight yesterday for freedom. Mrs. Myrtle A. Garner filed a writ of habeas corpus charg ing there were no women on the Jury list in Curry county at the time of her conviction in 1939.

Bon- PACIFIC SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON, March 20 (JP The report of the national re sources planning board, sent to congress this week by President Roosevelt asserts that from the long range view the growth of the Pacific southwest "has just begun." Suggesting a broad program of planning and development for the region, which Includes the states of California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah, the report warns, however, that future ex pansion "should avoid, repeating the wiiste and errors of the past and be directed toward sound and enduring development." Among other things, t h board, after long :tudy, report ed that: Acreage of Irrigated land could be doubled and crop pro duction greatly increased when needed. With better forest protection and sustained yield manage ment more than 3,000.000.000 board feet of lumber, compared to the present average annual production of about 2.000.000. 000 feet could be produced yearly without depletion. Greatest need of the northern California Klamath basin was said to be the completion of studies required for a compre hensive long range plan for co ordinated development of land and water resources that would provide more water for irriga tion, domestic and industrial uses: provide low cost electric power and supply future power demands: provide for propaga tion and conservation of fish life in such manner that both multiple purpose dams may be constructed and valuable fish re source preserved; maintain har bors and provide improvement required by ocean navigation: conserve and develop land and water for recreational purposes.
