WASHINGTON, June 8. (AP)
Secretary Knox asked congress
Wednesday to prohibit all photo
graph or sketches of national de
fense centers or objects any
where, and said Japanese agents
were taking such pictures.
The secretary of the navy tes
tified at a closed session of the
senate naval affairs committee
In favor of legislation that would
Impose penalties of $500 and six
months Imprisonment for taking
photographs of any vessel, yard,
aircraft or national defense cen
ter or object anywhere, specific
ally including the Philippine is
lands. This Is really very mild and
It's necessary," Secretary Knox
told reporters. "Pictures inno
cently taken might be used by
an unfriendly power."
A reporter suggested that the
proposed law might curb some
Japanese camera users.
"They are taking pictures
right now." the secretary said.
The legislation, redrafted by
the senate committee after pro
testa by Senator John (R-Calif)
would prohibit any person from
"knowingly" making "any
sketch, photograph, photographic
negative, blueprint, plan, map,
model, copy or other representa
tion of any naval station, article
or object.
Under it, the secretary of the
navy could grant exemptions for
making any photographs he ap
proved.

SPRAGUE RIVER The long
fight by the citizens of Sprague
River and surrounding districts
for an improved Sprague River
to Lakeview highway junction
road seems to be in the most fa
vorable stage in years. The year
of 1941 has seen soma startling
and dramatic developments in
the fight.
During the winter the road be
came so bad that traffic was al
most stopped. A "Road Vlg.
llante Committee" erected a
sign that attracted statewide at
tention and mirth. The sign
read, "Warning: This road is al
most impassable. In fact it's
most jackassable. If on this road
you must travel, beware, there
is no gravel. Signed by those
who suffer." This sign aroused
countywide attention to the prob
lem and the first week of its
erection found a fleet of county
road trucks dumping gravel in
the worst holes.
The next step came when a
delegation of Sprague River
business men paid a visit to a
board of directors meeting of
the Klamath county chamber of
commerce. There an impassion
ed plea was given, at which
time it was explained that Spra
gue River citizens were prscti
cally isolated from medical,
drug, dental and numerous other
services during the winter
months. The chamber announc
ed that the Sprague River road
would be its No. 1 road project
for county road improvement
during 1941.
The county court then an
nounced that it would spend in
the neighborhood of 15000 on
the road during the year, $1200
of which was to repair a bridge
near the town. But Sprague
River people felt this remaining
small sum would do little more
than patch up the road which
would again go to pieces this
winter.
The last and most favorable
step for a good road Is the an
nouncement that the U. S. sen
ate appropriations committee
has approved an appropriation
of $150,000 to be expended on
the road if the state will match
the sum. The Sprague River
Commercial club sent a detailed
letter to Washington, D. C, by
C S. Scharfenstein of the Klam
ath county chamber of com
merce. Scharfenstein conducted
a very vigorous campaign with
the resulting announcement of
the appropriation.
Sprague River, in the heart of
a great lumber and farming area,
feels that the road is deserving
of state support as it is a heavily
traveled road and is a most im
portant detour in case of trou
bles on The Dalles-California
highway. It is the natural link
between the Lakeview highway
and The Dalles-California road.
The fact that the federal gov
ernment has deemed this road of
such importance strengthens the
case that the road should be
taken under broader authority
than the county court. The state
is the natural agency (or such a
vital thoroughfare. The county
court with over a thousand miles
of road under its care can hardly
hope to give the road the proper
attention.
This week the county graders
and equipment are working on
the road in the area near town.
The low spot at the edge of
town that becomes a quagmire
during wet weather is being
built up and given drainage. A
rock crusher is being installed
three miles from town and prom
ises of a crushed rock surface
seem to be much in evidence.
With all of this activity the
Sprague River people feel that
efforts of the Klamath Falls
newspapers, the county chamber
of commerce and the untiring
work of various local people is
bringing to an end a problem
that has been almost given up
as hopeless.
SAN FRANCISCO, June S ()
California's rich oil fields, cap
able of supplying the nation's
automobiles, railroads and ships
with fuel should occasion arise,
poured out more oil into con
sumer tanks in April this year
than since last October's heavy
flow.
The 21.908.000 barrels of
crude oil and condensed gas
taken from the states 13,000 or
so wells and actually used was
the largest April stream in years.
It compared with 18,739.000
barrels that ran through the
mains in the 1940 month, and
19.208.000 in April 1939, records
Woman, Girl Burned
When Jar Found in
Backyard Explodes
PORT ORFORD, Ore, June
GP Mrs. Mae Wallace, 80, and
her granddaughter, Joyce Wal
lace, 8, were seriously burned
last night in the explosion of a
jar, apparently containing liquid
soap, to which water was added.
Gus Wallace said his son un
covered the quart Jar in the
backyard and carried it into the
kitchen to test it with water
The resulting explosion fired the
house and billowing smoke al
most suffocated the injured wo
man and child before neighbors
dragged them to safety.
Wallace said an investigation
was under way to determine
what the explosive was and
where it came from.
