CABINET CHANGES
President Truman has, we think, strengthened the cabinet
by the changes announced yesterday. There can be no doubt
of the fact so far as the relation of that body to him as the
chief executive is concerned. The appointees, as his personal
choices, have naturally a more intimate relationship with him
than their predecessors had and the condition should be of
benefit to the president.
So far as the business of the country is concerned Madam
Perkins was a total loss so that Schwellenbnch, little as we !
regard him as a public figure, cannot but help being an im-1
provement. That is a gain for the nation. The country is the I
srainer. too. in having Biddle replaced even though the at
torney general is hardly known outside of official Washington
circles.
Most worthy of the three new cabinet members is the man
named to be secretary of agriculture, Clinton P. Anderson.
: Now serving in the national house as one of New. Mexico's
two representatives he recently came into national .prom
inence as the chairman of a special committee named to in
vestigate the food shortage and by presenting in that posi
tion one of the best reports ever made by a congressional
committee. He will be a great improvement over the quite
worthy, but utterly inadequate, Wickard.
While on this subject of resignations and replacements
' let us note that yesterday's banner front page head to the ef
fect that Winston Churchill had quit as prime minister gave
an entirely erroneous impression. Churchill has not quit. Fol
lowing the British parliamentary practice he, in effect,
reported to the king that the cabinet he headed was no
longer cooperating. Accordingly, he offered his resignation
as the head of that particular cabinet but will head another
of an interim nature until an election is held to learn
whether or not the people want him to continue or, as he put
it in his recent speech, be turned out to grass.
As we think of the magnificent leadership he has given
Britain throughout the darkest days of the country's history
we hope he will have the satisfaction of a vote of public ap
proval. If he gfcts it he will continue in office. If not ho will
leave. But in neither case will he "quit."
in lieu of taxes on national forest lands a bill was in prepara
tion to cure the latter difficulty. Klamath and Lake counties,
as members of the group employing the attorney who was
doing the work, knew the facts.
And even while the appeal from the land office rejection
of the protest was being put together the bill, having been
prepared and introduced, was pending in congress with every I
promise of favorable consideration. That fact the two counties I
lnaur i . - auVal llV
The bill was prepared by senator uoraon s iormer law
partner, Frank S. Sever, in consultation with officials of the
forest service in Washington, D C. It was introduced in the
house by Representative Colmer and in the senate by benator
Cordon. It has been referred to the department of agricul
ture lor a report. There is every reason to believe that it will
be enacted with an annual payment provided for national
forest counties that will be lair to them and to the United
States. '
Here, then, is another reason why the appeal should be
withdrawn or, if prosecuted by the two counties, denied by
the land office.
Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(Nht SUlf lorreeuunuent)
San Francisco, CaliX. With
Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov
gone irom the San Francisco con
ference, the Soviet ambassador to
Washington, Alexander A. Grom-
yko pronounced Uromee-ko,
with the acent on the Wee be
comes Air. Big lor tne Kussian
delegation at the United Nations
charter-writing and spelling bee.
Gromko smiles a little more
readily than the others in this
stolid, impassive and almost im
passable group. but, aside from
the smile, he is pretty much the
personification of mystery wrap
ped in enigma tall, dark and
taciturn.
He is younger than nearly all
the other heads of missions here,
being only 37. That would make
him only nine years old at the
time oi the Bolshevikk revolution
In 1917, so he has grown up under
communism. He is a career diplo
mat and apparently a good one In
Russian eyes, for ho has been
awarded the Order of Lenin
highest civilian decoration given
by the Moscow government for
the Job he has done in Washing
ton in the past six years.
MORE KLAMATH-LAKE PROTEST
In the earlier weeks of the controversy over the exchange
of Shevlin-Hixon cut-over land in Lake and Klamath counties
for national forest timber it was said by persons close to the j the annual October revolution
situation in those two counties where the protests against the , anniversary receptions in the big
exchange had been made that their chief purpose was to draw limestone embassy formerly oecu
attention to the situation with respect to payments in lieu of JZu Z I dlpl("rra,,.s' our:
taxes on forest land. With the land office denial of the protest X r52 H"Sse On these
it was believed by many.thnt the situntion had been suf- occasions, Gromyko dons gold
ncienuy publicized ana. mat, mere wouia Deno appeal, Never
theless, an appeal has ueen taken by-the two courts .and the
plans of The Shevlin-Hixon Company for operation in the ex
change area necessarily remain unsettled.
Readers of this column will remember the misunder
standing and lack of knowledge evident in the original seven
grounds of protest. They will remember our discussion of the
asserted Klamath plan to bring the company lands in ques
tion into a state forest or other form of public ownership
short of federal control. Examination of the reasons now
given for the appeal from the protest denial show that these
state or county forest proposals were simply conversation. It
is obvious that the two counties and Klamath in particular
are interested in just one thing the prevention of the ex
change undertaking.
As far as Washington society
Is concerned, his greatpst matcr-
i l.il display of friendship comes at
braid and shakes hands with from
1500 to 2000 members of official
Washington, who put on a some
what, disgraceful grab for the
vodka and caviar.
He was educated as an econo-
turing, economics, history and
politics the usual things expect
ed of any career diplomat.
Today Gromyko has a good
working knowledge of English
and he gets about In the diplo
matic set a bit more. But the Am
bassador and Madam Gromyko
are not, perhaps, as clubby with
the White House and state de
partment officials as were Maxim
and ivy Ldtvlnnov.
'He was head of the Soviet del
egation that helped draft Dum
barton Oaks proposals last fall
and he has handled his govern
ment's affairs, in Washington all
through the difficult periods
when second front, Polish, Fin
nish, Romania, Yugoslav, and
German occupation and repara
tions questions have been the big
issues.

The records of the two houses
show that the original bill orig

certain amendments. Refusal by
the house to accept the senate
amendments sent the measure to
a conference committee, which
ered to the governor.
Inasmuch as the measure was
a house bill, it was the business
of the house enrolling committee
to see to It that the amendments
were written In In proper form
