Humane Society Notes Interesting Stories About Klamath Animals and Efforts in Their Behalf By Ida Momyer Oact ' New President CHAMBER U.S. ASKS STRIKE MORATORIUM WASHINGTON, Hay 1 VPh The United States chamber of commerce called on the nation's "patriotic labor and industrial leaders' today to declare a mora torium against an strikes which would interrupt defense pro- auction. - Approving a resolution pro posed by its resolutions commit tee, the chamber declared it to be "intolerable" that anyone should threaten to interrupt de fense production "for purposes of coercion' and added that "such acts are offenses against the public safety, and offenders should be subjected to the pen alties of the laws they violate." Expense Cot Asked This and other policy state ments were adopted without dis cussion as the chamber acted on the proposals of its commit tee. Another resolution, on "fed eral finance," called for a $2, 000,000,000 reduction in non defense expenditures and for tax increases in unspecified amounts which should be "limited in dur ation to the period of the emerg ency with the burden fairly dis tributed." Tax "Severe" The resolution did not com-' ment on the administration's S3,-1 500,000,000 defense tax program, ! but Ellsworth C. Alvord, chair-: man of the chamber's finance committee, in a speech this morning described the methods ; by which the treasury would! raise the money as "severe and unrealistic." . i He said the goal was "realis tic" but suggested that with $2, 000,000,000 slash in non-defense outlays, the government might raise $2,500,000,000 through a flot income tax increase and from excise and sales levies and possibly a small payroll tax. These he declared, would place less burden on taxpayers in the $2000 to $20,000 class than would the treasury's proposed methods. The lives of our wild creatures arc surrounded by unpredictable perils. It has been said that prac tically no wild animal dies a natural death. The work of the Red Star about which we wrote last week covers aid to wild as well as domestic animals. Natu rally, all humane work is not confined to associations, but countless unrecorded acts of kindness to our dumb friends lighten their burden of life. An amusing story told by Otis Metsger is illustrative of oppor tunities for help which some times occur. While running a tractor on the leased land of the Tula lake bed one hot morning Otis noticed a commotion which amounted to frantic excitement in a family consisting of a honker, his goose and their goslings. Jumping down from the tractor he walked toward the group, only to arouse addi tional alarm in the goose who immediately led all but one of her goslings away. The gander, with hisses, stood his ground in defense of the remaining gosling which appeared to be entwined in the folds of a black snake. Otis told himself that no snake was going to have gosling for dinner if he could help it, so has tened up, only to find that the apparent serpent was a long black rule-root. Getting out his jack-knife Metsger cut away the tangle of roots and freed the fuzzy little fellow. Weak from his long struggle, which may have lasted for hours, the little thing could only totter away. The gander which had stood nobly by, watching with anxious eyes, stretched out his strong wing protectively over the youngster, shielding it from the hot rays of the sun. and walked slowly along with the invalid to join the remainder of the fam- ay. The American Red Star Ani mal Relief is a special depart ment of the American Humane association, organized to meet emergencies of extraordinary I character and scope in the ex clusive relief of animals. The American Humane association, organized in 1877, is a federa tion of societies and individuals for the protection of CHILDREN and animals in the United States. The Klamath Falls chapter of this association attempts no work with children, especially since the fine county child wel fare program has been under way, although the local chapter stand ready to help should there be a call upon it. The Red Star was organized during the World war some 25 years ago. At that time more than $60,000 were paid for hu mane succor and conservation of horses and mules which were indispensable in the campaign to bring the war to a close. After the war the Red Star was kept alive to finance relief in emerg encies of considerable extent ex clusively involving animals, such as the saving of the Yellow stone herd of 30.000 elk from starvation. Starving deer in Alaska were fed. Range stock conditions were investigated, as were the , matters of animal transportation, ill-treatment of mules in the oil fields, care of animals following the Santa Barbara earthquake. One Red Star Investigation costing less than $200 resulted In the sav ing of more than a thousand head of cattle yearly at one transportation center. In dollars and cents this expenditure rep resented less than the financial loss of a single week under for mer conditions. In 1937 the Mississippi river and its tributaries were in flood. Homes were wrecked, crops ruined, thousands of animals drowned. The Red Star rushed into the emergency and thou sands of animals were saved as result. This action preserved for farmers the animals bv which they earned their liveli hood. The Red Star is so organ ized that its forces can be promptly mobilized for any dis- r. I I ?? I IT FOR DEFENSE IRK DETROIT, May X (UP) C. E. Wilson, president of General Motors corporation, disclosed Wednesday he has proposed to the United Automobile Work ers (CIO) a seven-day work week to hasten production on $730,000,000 worth of defense contracts. The work would.be done by four crews on a normal 40- hour per week schedule and with no pay differential for work on Saturdays and Sun days unless the worker already had put in his 40 hours. Wilson said. The UAW-CIO rejected the proposal on grounds overtime pay should be given on Satur days and Sundays regardless of whether the day were a part of a regular 40-hour work week, Wilson said. Wilson said the bottleneck In obtaining machinery for defense plants would be eased if ma chinery now on hand were kept in operation for the entire 163 hours In a week. Much defense work at pres ent is on a two-shift, 40-hour a week basis that 1 taking ad vantage of less than half the machinery capacity, he said The four-crew, three-shift plan would keep machines in con tinuous operation. Manpower for the around- the-clock production presum ably would be available after the Industry curtails automobile output by 20 per cent starting August 1. Newsmen Amazed at Invalid Dog Story PORTLAND, May 1 Astonished newsmen learned yesterday of a weak-hearted, oneyed. one-toothed Boston bull terrier that once had an ap pendectomy. The worried owner, Mrs. P. T. Grant explained that the dog, Nippy, had to take pills regular ly because of heart trouble. She hoped the newsmrn could help her locate the dog in time to give It a pill. The reporters really weren't tlmAA ...... fc' i found her way home, and, pre-1 sumaoiy, was rewarded with a candy-coated pellet. her to the Emergency hospital where a stomach pump relieved her distress.

He bumped a dog with his car, leaped out to help and the pup bit him. "Then the dog's pal showed up," Smith said, "and he bit me. I picked up the one I had hit and they both bit me." He took pooch No. 1 to a vet. erinarian who pronounced It un damaged, then went to an emerg ency hospital for treatment of his bites.
