Today is the wind-up of May.
The month started with
$1,000,000,000 rain, and deter
mined effort was made to rain a
million times. Roughly speaking,
it was a bum month, and nobody
can be blamed for speaking
roughly. It was a record break
er. Not even the oldest pioneer
can recall when there were so
many mud puddles in the coun
ty. At. no time was It warm
enough to predict a fuel shortage
next winter and urge people to
. fill their oil tanks and wood
sheds now. Due to the excessive
moisture a number of husbands
got out of. watering the lawn for
80 days. . .,

Quite a few have international
worries on their minds and have
started to "fear Russia." Several
have not been as scared since
the second time Hitler and Mus
golirri met at Brenner Pass and
each went home with a hide full
of French brandy.
Stockmen have started salting
the beef shortage In', the hills.
Several report they are shy a
steer and believe its resemblance
to a deer has caused It to disap
pear as venison. . r
There are two schools of
thought pondering the fata of
Emperor Hirohito of Japan. One
school wants to know "What
ahaU we do with HlrohltoT" and
the other, "What shall wa not do
to HirohitoT"

so hard a lot of the wheat has
been knocked flat on the ground.
Besides, too much moisture can
be ust as bad as not enough. The
wire worms are workin' again,
and the wheat now Is so tender

,twbiine Highway 99 Choseri
The people of this community and all southwestern
Oregon will applaud the state highway commission's
choice of Highway 99 as the official inter-regional
north-south route through Oregon. A presidential
committee had previously made the same selection.
California's highway commission recently named 99
as that state's choice for the national highway from
the Oregon line to Weed, These, unquestionably, were
factors in the dicision of the Oregon commission.
IT is true that the Klamath route is shorter, faster

in favor of Highway 97, however, were offset by
obvious and important advantages of the Pacific
highway. The route through Medford is more suited
to year 'round travel, serve's more than twice as many
Deoole. and areas of far greater economic wealth.
Four connecting roads to the Pacific coast make the
99 route valuable from the standpoint of national
defense while further serving the people of Oregon's
coastal counties and the Redwood Empire.

WHAT does this inter-regional designation mean?

Cottage Grove to Yreka will have favored spots on
the nation's projected system of national highways.
It means that the traffic that will naturally flow along
such a national highway system, will pass through
the Rogue River valley. It means that Highway 99
will be constructed with 24 foot pavement and 10-foot
shoulders on each side, while state standards call for
22-foot pavement and 5-foot side shoulders.

nlpfinn of hio-h standard construction of BOTH
99 and 97 are necessary for the proper development
of Oregon's highway system. Likewise, they agree
with Commissioner Chessman who, when presenting
the motion that the Pacific Highway be designated

tages inherent in the Klamath route and stressed the
need for its future development '
nlwava stood for sound high-
way development throughout the state. They have
never opposed road, construction in any other area.
They are sincere in advocating the early improvement
of Highway 97. , , , . .
MANY people here have felt that Commissioner
Arthur Schaupp campaigned too openly and
vigorously for the inter-regional designation of the
route through his home town of Klamath talis, ine

It Is not like raw blood affected by exposure to air, keeps Indefin
itely (almost), looks more like a sulphur-powder than blood, and
yet takes the place of blood when used in transfusions, as far as
shock effects are concerned. (It does not as some suppose replace
blood that has been lost.) And finally it can be used for practically
any blood-types, transfusions are only effective where blood types
are of the same group.
The final process was one of the most Interesting packing the
tin cans of dry blood plasma in water-proof cases for shipment
overseas. A type of composition has been perfected recently which
is both light and waterproof so the foreman stated, if the
ship is torpedoed these cases can be thrown out with -buoys
attached and later picked up, none the worse for the 'experience.
As we have control of the air and seas this can be and is
being DONE. R.W.R.

San Francisco, May 27th: ...
The amazing thing to your correspondent about San Francisco
for the past month has not been the cablears but the weather.
We have visited San Francisco frequently for over 40 years and
had to stay here on doctor's orders once for nearly six months,
but never before have we seen such continuously cold and windy
weather, day In, day out. .
Took trip across the bay to Berkely today, and actually with
out a winter overcoat, muffler and hat over the editorial ears, we
would have suffered a severe case of frost-bite.

Among the list of "fears" we failed to mention what is perhaps
the greatest ope, the U. S. Senate.
Everything the U. S. delegation does and does not do, Is with
the Senate In mind. What will the Senate think about it7
The sad fate of the League of Nations 2S years ago is, of course,
responsible for this.
And It Is perfectly natural and sensible too.
For what earthly profit would there be in drawing up the most
sublime document the world has ever seen, IF the U. S. Senate
should refuse to OK It? None at alll
It la really too bad.
For from the standpoint of world peace a far better document
would be produced here, were that fear not In the back of the
minds of the conference delegates, and particularly the delegates
of the United States. Many of the holes In this world peace fabric
can be blamed on that, and that alone.

Among our extra-curricular activities was a trip to Berkeley
to look over the "Cutter Laboratories", the only biological pro
duction plant of Its kind west of the Rocky Mountains. (Or perhaps
It was the Mississippi river, we are not certain of the geography,
or the precise words of our guide.)
At any rate it was a very Interesting trip and the Cutter Labora
tories well worth seeing.
"Buckets of Blood!"
We never expected to see them except In literature, but there
they were at the Cutter "Lab" for this 80-year-old institution

There was quite a press delegation, among them a famous foreign
correspondent (whose name we will withhold), a young Chinese
editor from Chungking, and a representative of a French and
believe it or notl an Austrian language paper in New York, at
least that is what he said.
The latter Intrigued your correspondent for the more buckets
of blood that appeared the paler he got, until he was actually
ashen and we were all for calling the trip off until first-aid could
be summoned. However he kept going and finally got the better
of It, when we returned to the main office where they served
cakes and coffee he was practically chipper, and color ok. One
of the girl correspondents, however, fainted.)

leader Earl Browder back into

The French communists already

and their appeal to Browder to
do likewise in the United States
was fully displayed by the com
munlst paper in New York
which ordinarily operates on
the Moscow line.

CTALIN had called off Brow-

Roosevelt. I assume he is un

Mr. Truman has dispatched
Russian-sympathizer Joe Davles
to London and Mr. Roosevelt's
intimate man-Friday, Harry Hop
kins, who was on the inside of
the Russian appeasement negotia
tions tcMoscow.
A report has been published
that Davles warned the British
we would not go to war against
Russia to save British interests
on the continent. I do not know
how true the report is, but prob
ably it represents the feelings
of our people.
We do not want to go to war
with Russia about anything
(We had the same feeling about
Hitler when .he was rising to
power.) We wish to live In
peace with her. The question
is how.
cracies that he Is trying to get
control of the world.
fHERE Is another way. It
manifestly unlust for Russia
to be permitted free use of demo
cratic privileges here while
denying the same privileges to
us in ineir country.
Mr. Truman, should develop
his foreign policy to grant our
ngnts only to those who reclpro
to ib, ana grant us the same
rights.
If Stalin Is going to run poli
tical candidates for office in
the United States. France. China
and elsewhere, suspicion can be
removea U he opens Russia and
allows us to run candidates
mere against him.
If he is going to keep his con
ironed press active here, there
and everywhere, a simple sense
oi justice snouid allow us to
estapnsh a Moscow edition of
our newspapers. That would
make it even. That wonlrl elim.

Culturally, economically and
politically she has isolated her

TALKED the problem out
with an eminent official of this
government now involved in
those negotiations, whose name
I do not feel free to use. It was
his opinion that the whole cause
of the trouble is Russian sus
picion of the United States and
our suspicion of her. I am un
able to believe this.
Quite apparently, there Is
much more than suspicion In
volved. In fact, two methods
of government, sharply at vari
ance in all their ways and aims.
have simply come into a very
natural conflict all along the
line.
CONSIDER the Browder phase.
We have no Browders work
ing for us In Russia. We can
organize no International move
ment against the communist way
of life there. The communist
party is the only one permitted
to exist by specific law.
We have no democratic paper
In Moscow, such as the Daily
Worker In New York. Here we
have a free democratic way of
press and politics while Russia
has an exclusive government
press, one-party undemocratic
system. These two conflicting
ways are bound to run into
trouble on every line, but they
certainly could live without war
if, as my friend says, suspicions
were removed. There are many
ways In which these could be re
moved. Stalin could do it with
one stroke.
He could permanently estab
lish his promised line of aban
doning the world revolutionary
principles of the Internationale,
withdraw his controlled press
and politicians from the demo
cracies, from France and the
United States, and run Russia
the way he chooses.
With such a step he would
dispel the suspicions of demo-
MV official friend and I agreed
no formula could be written
which could guarantee peace in
this particular new world situa
tion.. Only by the use of the
utmost intelligence in handling
each problem as it rises, can we
achieve our goal with Russia.
