Our request in this column for further contributions on this subject has brought the valuable suggestion from II. II. Sheldon presented in his letter on this page today. Mr. Sheldon's proposal for a low fence along the river and slightly back from the water's edge seems to us exactly the right answer to the problem posed by Mrs. Repnock. More over, as Mr. Sheldon points out, the fence would meet other important needs. A fence, such as that proKsed, need not be an expensive undertaking. As a beginning 300 yards could meet most of the need. We hope the project may go forward. "KLAMATH HIGHWAY PLANS Continuing its discussion of post-war highway develop ment as such activity will affect Klamath Falls the Herald and News suggests a program outlined in part in this para graph: Improvement should certainly be continued on The Dalles California highway from Algoma point north. The Wil lamette highway needs a lot ot work on the surface of the already completed highway, and an early project should be the relocation of the Willamette at the western end, where an unfortunate junction situation exists. The Santiam and Warm Springs highways still farther north have a place in our travel picture that should not be overlooked. Communities on this northern section of The Dalles-California will be glad to have the Santiam and the Warm Springs routes remembered when the time comes. They will hope, too, that improvement on The Dalles-California will not be limited to the southern portion of the highway. For some ! years the larger volume of expenditure on that route has been ! down there. The Herald and Jsews speaks of continuing the improvement from Algoma point north. We speak for im provement this side of the Willamette junction. Much is needed, for instance between, say. Crescent and Lapine. Senator Van Nuys says that people are getting sick and tired of reading government publicity. We think the senator is wrong. The people never get a chance to read it. It all goes into the waste basket It's the newspaper editorial de partments that are sick of the stuff. Down in South America, we read, they are calling Vice president Wallace "hombrazo" and not smiling when they do so. MORE ABOUT The Capitol (Continued From Pge One) ed. China, Australia and General MacArthur are increasing their cries for assistance, and at the moment they are in particular need of fighter planes and bomb ers such as the Flying Fortress bomber manufactured by the Boe ing plants in the Puget souned country, the kind that Americans are operating in their daylight raids over European cities,' based on airdromes in England. The allies in the Pacific are waging a defensive, not an of fensive, war. It is impossible for the allies to do otherwise, con sidering that the highest strate gists are throwing everything they have, save a small percent age, into the war against Ger many and Italy which absorbs their principal attention. The im pression exists in the Pacific that the administration does not rea lize the seriousness of the war in that quarter, inasmuch as re peated appeals for aid have not been complied with. If the thou sands of planes which have been given to Russia and the British had been sent into the Pacific the story of the war In that theater would be different. China, says Chiang Kai-Shek, is now in its darkest hour. The hoped for support from the United States is not even dribbl ing In.

The military mission dis-! patched by General MacArthur i accomplished little, according to report. Dr. Herbert V. Evalt, minister of external affairs for Australia, came to the national capital to make his plea and. so far as known (and judging from the talks) is returning empty handed. Promises, yes; but promises have been given for more than a year. Gen. Sir Thomas A. Blarney, like Joe Stalin, says that Australia is almost fighting alone against the Japanese. Stalin said the red army was fighting alone against the Germans, not mentioning the 5,000 planes that were given him by the United States. General Blarney gives some small credit to the American troops, but in sists the Australians are carrying the load; the bombers and soldiers and supplies promised by "the arsenal of democracy" have not been forthcoming in the quanti ties needed or expected. a a a All major engagements of United States forces (sailors, sol diers, marines and fliers) have been confined to the Pacific and the casualties outnumber by many thousands the list of cas ualties accumulating in the North i African adventure. The number of Japanese is also far greater than the number of Germans or Italians in the African campaign. It is difficult, if not Impossible, to find a resident of Oregon or Washington who believes that Germany is as much a threat to this country as are the Japanese. It is known, of course, that the United States has planned an all out offensive against the Japa nese and is now making prepara tions, but the Immediate task is centered on Europe. On the other hand, Chiang Kai-Shek, General Blarney and General MacArthur are petitioning for help now and ' not in 1944. The box score for the ' Pacific discloses that the Ameri cans are sending warships, trans ports, supply ships and planes to . the bottom, hut notwithstanding these victories the Japanese are : still holding practically every is : land that they invaded and held i more than one year ago; and they have not been driven out of the ' Aleutians. I I Washington's Senator Bone has invited government agencies to give serious consideration to the ; heavily mineralized belts In that state with the object of establish ing a steel industry. The Wash ; Ington state senate adopted a 1 similar resolution which has been referred to the senate special com ' mittce to investigate the national ' defense program. The legislative resolution says that whenever such development has been pro posed it has been blocked by in dustries already existing in other ! sections of the country. ' The Fox SOUR. BUT KXKE C1-V U V rtVof SERIAL STORY DARK JUNGLES BY JOHN C. FLEMING & LOIS EBY aSS'S The Story: Barry Fielding was stricken with malaria after his escape from the Quiche Indians, and his faithful Mexican guide, Jose, tends him until he is strong enough to make the trip back to Allison loppings plantation. He falls unconscious when they fin- rally arrive. A week later Allison I tells him that a letter arrived from his fiancee while he was sick, and that she has answered it for him. Knowing Lola's nature, Barry is worried. a a a TRIBAL SACRIFICE CHAPTER XV As the days passed and the fever hung on. Barry was half wild with impatience. For hours days sometimes he would think it had run its course, only to be shaken with the cold chill that preceded another attack. Renaldo had warned him of this that same afternoon Allison had read him Lila's letter. The Span iard had knocked and come in, looking taller and handsomer in fresh whites than Barry remem bered him. He had towered over the bed, with his swift engaging smile. "You really picked yourself a stalwart mosquito, my friend." "I'll throw it off," Barry said irritably. "You will, but it will be slow going." Allison brought his medicine, holding up his head and tossing the tablets onto his tongue with deft motions. Barry gulped the water she held to his hps, and smiled his thanks. "You were right about Allison," he said to Renaldo with amused camaraderie. "Right about what?" Allison was gathering up tray and glasses for the servants to take out. "We bet, Renaldo and I," Barry told her lazily, feeling all at once easy and comfortable, "on wheth er you'd make the trip." "And how did you bet?" She paused beside him, her lashes al most touching her cheeks as she looked down Into his face. "I bet you wouldn't," Barry told her. "Which proves," she laughed, "that Renaldo understands me better than you do." "Oh, but it wasn't quite fair," Renaldo protested gallantly. "Be cause I knew your father. Mr. Fielding didn't. I gambled you had the jungle in your blood like he did. And I'm afraid you have." He turned to follow her with his eyes as she walked to the hall and handed over the tray to the Indian woman. Barry watched him in deepening surprise. He re alized abruptly that Allison was not the only one who had changed during his absence. Renaldo, too, was different. Gone was the stern, quiet almost condescend ingcommand In the Spaniard's manner. A subtle warmth had crept in, a tentative friendliness. He had used the same phrase that night on the trek he feared the girl had the jungle In her blood but where there had been appre hension, antagonism in his voice that night, now there was some thing almost like pride. And in his dark eyes . . . a a a Barry controlled a sharp rising irritation. Why shouldn't the handsome Renaldo fall for a girl like Allison Topping? She was warm and vivid and delicate. Her blondenoss was a perlect foil for the Spaniard's dark good looks. And If she really wanted to stay here . . . He roused at Renaldo's laugh. "You are looking very un happy, my friend. I am sorry about your trip." , Barry's anger swept into an other current. "Sorry is no name for It!" he exploded. "I want to talk to you about It. Of all the dirty, double crossing deals I ever ran into!" Allison wai standing beside Re- and fhe Grapes of naldo again. ' she asked. May I hear it, too?" Barry hesitated. Then he said bluntly, "Sure. It's no worse than a Gossip Column." Allison and Keiuldo pulled chairs close to the bed while Barry talked. He told them in painstaking detail every step of the trip. The meeting with the chief, his cordial hospitality, his apparently sympathetic hearing of all Barry had to say, his honest indecision in the matter of reveal ing the mines. Turning to Ren aldo, he added: "Your letter to him seemed to make him our friend. He said a lot of complimentary thingsabout you." "He's a great old fellow." Renaldo nodded thoughtfully. Barry grimaced with rueful hu mor. "But you should have seen him that night at the trial. He couldn't have been any colder if he'd been molded out of liquid air." He told (hem then of his rude awakening by the angry na tives, of the weird, frightful judgment scene In the chief's tent and of the death sentence of the girl. Finally of their imprison ment and escape. Allison shuddered. "How per fectly ghastly! But the girl won't die, will she?" a a a Renaldo looked serious. "I wouldn't be surprised." "But why," Allison cried, "would anyone want to frame Barry? Some Quiche, perhaps, with something against the girl or her family?" "Perhaps," Renaldo said slow ly, "but I don't think so. The Quiches are a united and peace ful tribe within themselves. I'm afraid it is even more serious than that." Barry and Allison watched the young Spaniard as ho paced the floor nervously. At length, unable to endure her curiosity, Allison burst out: "What is it, Renaldo? For heav en's sake, tell us!" Renaldo paused at the foot of the bed, flashing Allison a sym pathetic half smile. His dark eyes were brooding and sorrowful. "For a number of years now," he began slowly, "the chief and I have been as close friends as a Quiche ever is with an outsider. I admire him. I am fond of him. That is why I know he is filled with a great anxiety" Barry watched the Spaniard, fascinated.' There was power in those black eyes. Small wonder he had gained the fear and re spect of the Quiches as well as the Indians on the Topping plan tation, he thought. ' "Each month or so," Renaldo went on, "when the Quiches bring their clay jugs of auicksilver down to the coast to trade for bananas and salt, they have been i buying more and more other tnings bright ornaments, some times dresses or suits from the trading post, mingling more with other tribes, carrying back their stories. The chief has been strug- gling against this tendency. It i FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS If scuTTLf ear AWAY, WHY'O you PHONE ME? WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL the cops f ) Because I I WANNA BRING I HIM IM PERSONALLY Wrafh his duty to see this slow Infiltra tion of foreign Ideas does not be tray their precious isolation. I have felt, during our last meet ings, he was growing desperate over the situation, unable to stem the tide of his people's interests in the oulside world." Renaldo's eyes were fixed on him, com'tnssion in their black depths. "The chief is a smart man," he said simply. "Can you think of a better way to impress his people with the danger of out siders? The sacrifice of one of the tribe's most beautiful maidens has often been the shock which taught them the error of ther ways." . The logic of 'Renaldo's reason ing appalled Barry. "In that case," he said hopelessly, "is there nothing I can do?" Renaldo released a long breath. "The first thing for you to do is to get well, my friend. After that we will see." (To Be Continued) Others Say . .. .-, ! UNFAIR TO LOYAL AMERICANS (Orecon Journal) Senator Chandler of Kentucky has revived the Idea of lightening 1 the restrictions against the Japa-! nese nationals In relocation cen-; ters. He wants the good ones seg-1 regated from the bad and put ' either Into military service orj essential war industry. The bad ones, he believes, should be kept : whore they are in either case to separate the disloyal ones from those whose sympathies are dem onstrably favorable to America. Definitely, something should be done about these two classes of Japanese who are now kept under identical conditions in all the relo cation centers, where friction is rampant, especially in the one at Manzanar, Cat, where petty riots are frequent. Feeling appears to be high between the loyal Ameri cans and the disloyal aliens and it is obviously unfair to keep all of them under the blanket head ing of undesirables. No other way was possible at first, but ten months have now elapsed since the concentration began and it should be possible to determine which are the sheep and which the goats.

The Bulletin puhllrih ed a letter deploring the fact that the ducks' use uf Drake park limits human use of the park. I agree with the wilier. Our water fowl on Mirror pond add greatly to the natural beauty of (he park. But a duck out of witter : loses its charm. Keeping the ' ducks off the grass Is not so much of a problem as It might seem. To that end. may I offer a 1 suggestion which would benefit (he public as well as the ducks. It Is not the hahlt of ducks to fly in and light on land. 'Hiey ' light on the water; and when waddling on land are discouraged by (he slightest barrier. A low i fence, say thirty inches high, set six feet in from the river, would keep the ducks and geese from wandering through the park soli-' Ing the grass; while at the same time providing a runway whore , the public might feed them. This ' six-root strip, If beautlUed with ; shrubs and other plant life, would also provide a cover for nusling. In addition to keeping the park clean, this fence would prevent i the chasing and killing of young ducks hatched lale in the summer. by dogs which, nt that time, lire released from tie-up. Most Important of all, such a fence would prevent small chit ' dren from falling Into the river.' Mothers who bring their children to the park would have a chancel to sit down and rest without Ihe constant necessity of running after Infants lured by the shine of the river. A fence of this sort surrounds the lake in Gulden Gate park, San Francisco. In that wik. where they have many more wild fowl than we have here, this fence has proved itself invaluable both in the protection of the grounds, and in the prevention of accidents to children playing in the park.
