SahacrtpUoat Payable la Adraace Ask for It Now NOW that the state highway engineers have revealed a definite plan for South Sixth street improvement, local people should spare no effort to induce the highway commission to authorize early construction on this heavily traveled and hazardous artery. Engineer R. H. Baldock has stated he will present the plan for a three-lane highway on South Sixth to the high way commission May 22. That is the time to make an ap pearance on behalf of immediate authorization from the highway board. There is ample arcniment to justify the request. South Sixth has been a serious problem for years, and the volume of traffic there is unequaled on any similar artery in the itate. State highway authorities long ago recognized the need for action there, and there can be little excuse for further delay. The state highway engineer while here explained that South Sixth property holders will be expected to build the sidewalks in the space to be provided on the state highway right-of-way. Lack of sidewalks is one of the most haz ardous factors on South Sixth street. Residential property owners, downtown business property owners, and others throughout this area have constructed sidewalks as devel opment came their way. Certainly sidewalk construction cannot be justifiably delayed on South Sixth and the pub lic, which is putting up the money for the three-lane high way, has a right to expect South Sixth property owners to do their part with sidewalk construction. The immediate objectives on South Sixth should be to get the highway department busy on the highway con struction and to get in those sidewalks. Traffic congestion and accident hazards will then be greatly relieved and the community can look with satisfaction on the solution of its most notorious traffic problem. Pelican Basebail rERE is still a lot of potential interest in hardball out in the bush league territory, and a strong local team in a strong league should go far in developing it. Klamath appears to have such a team in the Pelicans, who are entered in the Oregon State league for the first time this year. Klamath's teams have played in Northern California and Southern Oregon leagues in past years, but never before in the state league, which offers a com petitive situation which should arouse home town spirit We're looking forward to an interesting baseball sea son hereabouts. 5000 Berry Pickers Needed in Valley A need for over 500 straw berry pickers near Cornelius, Ore., during the peak season from May 20 to June 10, was an nounced Thursday by the Oregon State Employment service as car loads of migrant workers con tinued to pour through Klamath Falls from Southern California. A call for beet and onion thinners to work in the Ontario, Ore., area has also been sent out by the service.

Parachutist Snared in Practice By PaUL1a1L0MJ WASHINGTON, May 16 Hit ler seems to be letting out the clutch for one of his fa miliar all-out propaganda rides on the Roosevelt government. The German short wave radio broadcasts have suddenly mani fest tactics suspiciously similar to the type of campaigns they used against European adver saries. These show an intimate, catalogued knowledge of Amer ican political doings and are obviously the result of a me thodical nazi preparation as shrewdly devised as their mili tary campaigns. Some of the broadcasts are appealingly contrived in Ameri can slang with the poison slyly covered with good humor. Mr. Roosevelt is called "FDR." and American political figures fre quently by their first names. References are even made to their wives and families. The whole thing hits the line of anti Semitism (naming Jewish offi cials), encouraging rebellion against the tax bill, promising farmers European markets, slugging "FDR" and family. a a a MOVIE FILMS FBI has simultaneously picked up information that nazi films have been smuggled into this country from South America. One is designed to demonstrate the invincibility of the nazi army. It is called "Victory in the West." Another is anti Semitic. One copy of the mili tary film was picked up some where abroad by the army and shown privately to our military officers months ago. a a a KEEPING WATCH The government is somewhat disturbed by these and similar manifestations (circulation of pamphlets, scurrilous buttons, etc.) but for the present is just listening and reading. Even Hit ler could not find an answer to short wave foreign broad casts short of decreeing murder for his listeners. Of course there is no intention here of meeting the situation that way. The federal communications com mission is making records of all the broadcasts. A special de fense unit has been quietly cre ated in the justice department to note overall nazi propaganda. The post office department is burning all it can detect going through the mails, mainly im portations from abroad printed in German and English. The domestic stuff is circulated mostly in hotel envelopes, or without identification. a e a HESS AFFAIR One thing to keep in mind in ; reading these sizzling Hess de velopments is that neither Lon don nor Berlin can be expected j to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Tney j are at war. Even the parachut-' lng nazi politician himself oc- i cupies with the British the same relative position as Charlie McCarthy occupies with Mr. Bergen. He is in their lap. Therefore, it may not be im portant that all sides here and in Europe deny a version which j logically fitted the known facts. ; It is that Hitler dispatched his j trustworthy intimate with a se- j nous peace proposal, under an arrangement whereby Hitler j was to denounce Hess as hal-: lucinated if no satisfactory an- j swer came within 48 hours, j The peace plan could have been roughly the same as carried in ; Leap SIDE GLANCES gcea fa av at4 atawct atta eta n a T "This little bundle from heaven is going home thank goodness 1" this column under date of May 6 with the prediction that it would shortly emanate from nazi sources. That plan was based on German domination of Europe under a decentralized system providing nominal self government for the Balkans, the Scandinavian countries as a group, with the British isles. Canada and Australia to remain as is. With this, Hess could have carried the threat that Britain would be immediately invaded and conquered, and he himself would thus be liberated, if the answer was negative. a a OUT OF CHARACTER The nazis naturally might deny such a supposition as they have denied from the beginning of this war all the authentic peace overtures they have ad vanced. Hitler apparently con siders a peace proposal a sign of weakness. The British might well hesi tate to expose the trick for fear of reaction among the paci fists here and elsewhera who prefer a German victory to continuance of the war. All official sources here deny this theory and incline toward the British versions, even though these sometimes require a disregard of Hess' long estab lished character. If he were going to split at all on any subject with Hitler he would have to parachute himself wholly out of his life-character as a devoted watchdog type, wholly devoid of individual in itiative, and as cruelly brave personally as all the other nazi leaders with blood on their hands. It is mighty hard to think that type of man would flee his beloved wife and child as well as his equally beloved fuehrer to save his own valueless skin.

May 16 (D Wheat prices were up a cent a bushel at one stage today but the market became nervous later due to a let-up in milling de mand, optimistic crop reports and some uncertainty about the farm program. Quotations at one time were fractionally below the previous close but the market managed to finish with small net gains. Some brokers attributed the president's remarks at his press conference as Indicating he will approve the 85 per cent of parity crop loan bill, upon which the recent sharp price rise has been based at a large extent, but there was no certainty about this. Wheat closed unchanged to 1c higher compared with yesterday, May S1.00-99ic, July 981-lc; corn l-lc up. Stock Market Quotations Air Reduction Alaska Juneau .
