AH rlahta of republlca tloa of apaolal dlapatobaa haraln ara alao reearved Motor Death Rates STATISTICS on fatal motor accidents for 1933 indicate an Improved record in Klamath Falls. The same can : not be said for the state as a whole. The magazine "Public Safety" carries a statistical re view of the year s auto deaths for cities. - Klamath Falls is shown with one fatality for the year, as against three for the previous year. The population rate for Klamath Falls was 5.1, while that of all cities was 16.9. This city not only improved its record, but has a smaller death rate per capita than the average American city. That is a notable improvement over the record of a couple of years ago when the per capita death rate here was one or tne nign cst in the nation. From the Oregon State Motor association comes a re port that there were more deaths, fewer accidents and fewer injured in automobile accidents in Oregon in 1933 than in 1932. Two hundred forty six persons lost their lives in Oregon in 1933 as compared to 227 deaths in 1932. That is an increase of 8 per cent. The outlook in the motor accident situation is not good. Better times are bringing more automobiles onto the streets and highways, and already there are indica tions over the nation of increasing traffic deaths. Better traffic control, both on the part of the individual and the public authorities, is essential if the death curve is turned downward. WASHINGTON N.wi Behind the News a a Tba Inside Story Front Tba Capital a a - By PAUL MALL ON Copyright, lilt, by Paul Mallr SIDE GLANCES by George Clark Untamed Icefields ADMIRAL BYRD'S recent difficulties with the disin tegrating ice shelves at his projected landing spot in Antarctic's famous Bay of Whales emphasizes one of the peculiar hazards which that spot presents to explorers. That hazard arises from the fact that no ship actually can get very closfe to the Antarctic continent itself in that particular region. A ship cannot be moored in an actual harbor ; a base camp cannot be established on terra firma. The mainland must be approached across this vast ice barrier, and while the ice ordinarily is as stable as solid rock it nevertheless is subject to all the changes which a sheet of ice anywhere else might display. It is partly for this reason that Antarctic exploration ' still is a dangerous and uncertain pastime, in spite of the modern equipment and elaborate organization of up-to-date expeditions. '-, Significent Silk A NEW YORK relief agency, trying to help girls look 's ing for jobs, is buying silk stockings for its wards, ac cording to a recent news dispatch. A decade or two ago such a bit of news would have indicated a most profound and irresponsible bit of mis management Today it merely shows that the relief work ers have good sense. A girl who is looking for a job must be dressed neat ly; and nowadays being neatly dressed, for a woman, means among other things the wearing of silk stock ings. Lament the fact as we may, it nevertheless is true that silk stockings are just about a necessity, now, and not a luxury. 1 And the fact is a significant measure of the way in which living standards have changed in the last few years.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, Smart, unprejudiced lawyers be lieve the senate Is picking on the wrong man In tha MacCrack en case. Tny aay mere is hardly a chance In a hundred that Lawyer MacCracken will ba convicted, the way things are going now. He has certain wide open legal loop holes and has employed the world's greatest loophole attor ney, Frank Hogan, to defend him. Hogan once got Colonel Robert Stewart of Standard Oil tame out of a much worse senatorial Jam through a legal hole no bigger than the eye of a needle. Insiders in the case believe MacCracken and Hogan have fig ured out an Impregnable defenso, based on the Idea that MacCrack en was bound as a lawyer to give the papers back to his clients. That explatna why MaoCrackan and Hogan have been so willing to take the limelight In the case; demanding . that MacCracken be arrested, and all that. a a a CHANCES The senate may have a much better technical case If It pro ceeds' against one of MacCrack- ea'a clients who destroyed the eviaence. . Courts ere strict about such matters. Such a cllont could not claim the Immunity of an at torney. Also. It might be dif ficult for him to prove legal Jus tification. He has no such loop holes as MacCracken. The senate seems to miss the late Senator Tom Walsh. He handled all contempt cases for the senate during the past twen ty years. He favored turning such eases over to the district at torney without so much fuss, a a a GAME Politicians all agree privately that the senate la not primarily after MacCracken or his clients. The real 'possum they want to get Is ex-Postmaster General Walter Brown. Postmaster General Farley has been growling about Brown ever since March 4. When Farley moved into Brown's office, he found Brown had left the polit ical cupboard bare. Hrown nad even arranged so that his own and Mr. Hoover's names were chiseled on the cor ner stones of postoffices not then built. Farley had the names chiseled off. The papers burned in the' furnace were civil serv ice records which the democrats could have used to throw repub licans out of office for cause. Their destruction prevented Far ley from firing possibly 100 re publican postmasters before their terms expired. Brown also let all the airmail contracts he could, Intending to leave none for Farley. Congress put a stop to that by passing a law preventing Brown from do ing anything except extending old airmail lines. Thereupon Brown extended every line he possibly could. Farley set out immediate ly to cancel those extensions. That situation Is what appears to be at tha bottom of the cur rent turmoil. mil STn Flying Queen In 1039 United Ststos motor ist! usod 110,000,000 barrel mora gasoline than they did In 1828. yet they paid 1310,000,000 less far It. The 1033 gnsollut bill was th lowest pnld within tns nest eight years, and an analysis shows that the tax paid on gasoline in 1U33 was double mat of sight years ago, "Today gasoline la the lowest priced commodity, according to recognised authorities." snva Earl u. Ulltuore. prosit out of Ullmora Oil , oumpany. "It even ranks oeiow that of the much eninha. alsod low Priced farm nroiluoia. Taking the 180 price levols as tue base, the department of labor reports today's gasoline prices as tl.3 comnarod with Ba. for rami products, and ti.t fur food produota, and yet govornment has seou fit to crowd an over balanced tax on Bjusollne be- I causa It la one of the easiest to collect.

"Unlike products In most lines. gasoline quality has not been lowered to moot low prices. In. stead, the sjasollne sold todnv la lar suporior in every way to tne motor rucis regularly sold In !." QUtuore said. "Mama, what was papa like botore you made him overt" POLITICIANS Brown is a clever politician. He has spent a life time learning to be one. He made no secret of the fact that he favored the large established air lines. He openly asserted it was better to pay them a little mora to carry tha malls than to trust the little Independ ents. He banded out the gravy with a big ladle. The air mall Industry sprang up under republican administra tions.'. It hired republican attor neys, like Mabel Walker Hilde brandt. Wild Bill Donovan and MacCracken. You will probably not even find an office boy in that whole Industry who Is a democrat. Therefore the current expose will be entirely at republican ex pense. Farley la also a clever politi cian. a a a SLIP Tbere was a slip 'twlxt the cup and tne lip on this stock market legislation. Mr. Rooaevelt'a Dickinson com mittee had recommended modera tion in regulating the exchange. The highest wall stroetors thought they had been promised privately a 100-word bill merely licensing them. The exchange accepted the Dickinson ldoas. A majority of the senate committee was apparently, willing to go along. Then suddenly a new bill was proposed which had fangs instead of teeth In It. No one is suppos ed to know where the bill came from. Mr. Roosevelt said he never saw It POSSIBILITIES One of two things may have nappenea. Mr. Roosevelt may not have liked the reaction to the Dickinson report. He may nave decided a atronger bill was necessary, and screened his ma neuvers by entrusting the matter to Prosecutor Pecora. Tha other possibility is that the ultra-reformers swung Pecora around and put Mr. Rooovelt on the spot by offering a bill con trary to his wishes. xaere is aiso a cnance that Mr. RooBevelt submitted both sides of the question, and now Is going to let congress fight it out. If that Is the case, there may be no legis lation at all. In reading the proposed bill, one thing should be kept In mind: The soup Is never eaten as hot as It Is cooked. a a a NOTES Skeptics miy. doubt whether It Is any better to let the retiring chairman of the democratic na tional committee, James Farley, handle air mall contracts now than It was to have permitted such a politically minded man as waiter Brown to have handled them In the first place. It appears that the administra tion arbitrarily took the stock market bill out of the hands of Chairman Steagall of the house banking committee and gave it to a closer White House ally. Chairman Rayburn of the house Interstate commerce committee. The army people are delighted at the opportunity of handling tne airman, figuring tboy can get appropriations tor even more planes out of congress. Amusements Pelican Now ulnylni.
