This matter is to come
sion on May 23, when the

interests to urge immediate action.
It is important in this connection that Klamath's rep
resentation be made from a united front. Details should
be thoroughly threshed out ahead of time, so that there
will be no confusion or misunderstanding that might
Jeopardize the chances of early work on the problem

What is wanted Is adequate Improvement on South

Is to make a united stand and to impress upon the com
mission that conditions on this street will not permit fur
ther delay.
Welcome to
IN the next four days, between 8000 and 10,000 men
I will pass through Klamath
sion's movement from Fort Lewis to maneuvers in the
San Francisco bay area. All of these troops will encamp
here overnight, and no doubt thousands of the young
men of the defense forces will be about the streets of the
city in the four days.
In order, therefore, is warm hospitality for these visi
tors. They should be accorded every possibly courtesy
and a showing of friendly sentiment on the part of the
people of the community.
Klamath already has an
nection. It has an army hospitality committee, working
through the chamber of commerce with reDresentatives
of city, county and patriotic
operates in every possible
moving through here. The

ivPaulHailon,
WASHINGTON, May JO Mr.
Roosevelt's warning that a
Hitler victory would injure our
foreign trade apparently did not
sink in very deep. Reaction was
hardly noticeable here. The
president failed to translate his
vision into terms of wages,
hours, farm prices, automobiles
and the relatively luxurious liv
ing in which civilization now Is
lolling, as compared with the
rest of the world.
If you will couple his state
ment with speeches made recent
ly by Assistant State Secretary
Adolph Btrle and Commerce
Secretary Jesse Jones, you will
see the administration seems to
be swerving toward this more
realistic line. The old fears of
German invasion have long since
been abandoned.
What is in their minds now
is that the victorious nazis
would undersell us everywhere
in the world on the basis of
barter and enslaved labor. We
could not sell automobiles, steel
or Jelly beans against them any
where as long as our workers
receive present wages, hours
and working conditions. Our
price would be double theirs.
We would thus face the prospect
of becoming a second class pow
er, unless we too went into
some adaptation of the nail sys
tem, using barter and cheapen
ing our productive processes.
While this straight-forward
statement goes further than
Messrs. Roosevelt, Berle or
Jones have gone, publicly, they
have set a new course to this
wind. The difficulty of popular-1
izing these realistic probabili
ties is that too many people have
come to look on business as
greedy trade," and world sell
ing as. dollar diplomacy, forget
ful that their living depends up
on it.
ALUMINUM
While a defense official (W.
L. Batt) was telling one congres
sional committee not an ounce
ot aluminum could be spared
from defense needs the remain
der of this year, another con
gressional committee picked up
the following Information In ex
ecutive session:
The army, the same army that
screaming for planes, had
placed an order for 30,000 to
60,000 aluminum pitchers for
syrup and water.
The navy had disregarded the
spirit of the same OPM priori
ties control, by ordering alumi
num cap stretchers.
The information came from
the office of production manage
ment, whose authorities suspect
ed the army and navy never
heard of aluminum priorities.
Apparently the generals and ad
mirals do not read newspapers.
Ine quartermasters corps in
the army, when called upon for
an explanation by t h e OPM.
was cooperative and agreed not
to buy pitchers that would have
to be made out of new priority
aluminum. In other words, they
will buy only aluminum pitch
ers that are in stock and take
enamel ware for the remainder.
The navy, however. aDDarent.
ly considered cap stretching a
vital work of defense. Last
heard by the hou-e naval af
fairs committee from the ad
mirals indicated they intended
to stick to their order.
NO DETAILS
Note The reason names and
dates are missing from the above
that no details were furnished
the congressional committees.
One report indicated the army
pitcher order was for 30.000: an
other report doubled the amount.
Authorities here do not feel free
to talk about such subjects, but
the substantial facts of the mat
ter are undeniably true.

Council to Urge
Immediate Work
On South Sixth
City councilmen last night de
cided to cooperate fully with the
chamber of commerce In urging
Immediate improvement of
South Sixth street.
City Engineer E. A. Thomas
was authorized to get in touch
with the chamber officials and
act with them in making repre
sentations in behalf of South
sixth street construction before
a meeting of the hiKiiway com
mission May 23.
Reference was made by Mayor
John Houston ami members of
the council to Uie visit hero a
few days ago of K. 11. BaUlock,
Mate highway engineer, and his
report that on engineering plan
for three travel lanes on South
Sixth will be presented to the
highway coinnus.'ium May 23.
Four Ian nan
In the discussion, tne need for
an adequato highway that would
meet the needs of the future was
discussed. Mayor Houston ex
pressed disappointment the state
plan does not Include lighting,
but said the city traffic commis
sion may have a reiuirt soon on
lighting prolilems.
A. D. Collier appeared before
the council and suggested it
give its support to an effort for
an adequate South Sixth street
artery. He said that a four-lane
road. Instead of three, would
more adequately serve the traf
fic needs on that street. He added
that the reason the highway en
gineers had decided on a three-
lane route on present right-of-way
was because they believed
additional right-of-way and dam
ages for set-backs would make
an 80-foot right-of-way too costly.
The council had a long dis
cussion In regular session, and
afterwards at a meeting of the
council as a whole, of a proposed
change in the city ordinance
regulating the hours of barber
shops.
Barber Shop Hours
Before the council was a pro
posal to change the ordinance
for closing of barber shops at 8
p. m. Instead of 8 p. m. on Sat
urday nights. This is in con
formity with an agreement be
tween master and journeyman
barbers to go into effect Juno 16.
Councilman H o 1 1 1 n Cantrall
asked if tlio city had authority
to regulutc barber shop hours
by ordinance. There was a long
discussion of this point, Cantrall1

finally moving for repeal of the
barber shop hours ordinance. He
withdrew the motion Inter to
permit reference of the leg.il
questions In tlio matter to City
Attorney D. E. Van Vector lor
formal opinion.
"I haven't anything against the
barbers or the closing hours Mig
noted," said Cantrall. "It is
merely a matter as lo whether
we have authority to do it, und
if we haven't. I think the sooner
we quit bluffing and get such
ordinances off the bonks, the
better. Let's not keep ordinances
on which our city attorney can
not stand legally."
Van Vaclor Indicated he would
make a report next Monday
night.
Councilman CautiaU's motion
for repeal was seconded by C'oun
allium Keller, who agreed to Us
withdrawal. Coiinctlnuin llu.v
man averred that if the city or
dinance would dictate to a small
barber shop owner, working his
own shop, as to the hours he
could run his business, he was
against it.
Councilmen Wiesenilanger and
Martin, both grocers, expressed
Uie wish that grocery store hours
could be dictated the same way.
Mayor Houston pointed out tne
orriinunco had been In effect 15
years.
James Swansen, representing
master barbers, said that change!
in the ordinance was a part of
the union agreement that settled
a threatened strike. Without the
ordinance, he said, barber shops
would be running at all hours.
Bus Stops
Tlio council in regular session
agreed to a plan permitting tne
ureynouno bus company to make 1
stops at 870 Klamath avenue
and at the Elk hotel for working
baggago and taking on and ict-
I ting off passengers.
A representative of tho com
pany told the city fathers that
the company's sub-lease in the
present Ninth and Klamath lo
cation is expiring. The firm is
planning to build or remodel for
an adequate bus station, lie said,
but in the meantime it must
make temporary arrangements.
He also stated the company is
putting on two transcontinental
