On the surface, it appeal's to be that some of the Townsenders are wise to the fact the mayor is in the game for what he can get out of it politically. Fire was directed at a state officer, Dwight Bunnell, who plugged for the Klamath man at every opportunity, and he was moved elsewhere. Bunnell, so the story goes, was to get some appointment, as a reward if the mayor s poll' tical ambitions materialize. The more shrewd supporters of Mayor Mahoney aren't claiming he is active in the movement just because his heart bleeds for the old people. But they do say some of the active critics of Mahoney are themselves bitten by the political bug. That is highly possible. The frantic efforts of opportunist politicians to make something for themselves out of the Townsend movement is not exactly a pretty spectacle. Some of them have a way of becoming the evangels of every scheme that catches the passing fancy of the voters. Une cannot blame the SINCERE Townsenders for wanting to vote for congressional delegates who will support the plan But candidates who cannot, down in their hearts, be lieve in this scheme, and merely shout its praise in the hope of catching the votes of a strong, organized min ority, are not deserving of the respect of Townsenders or any other citizens. Candidates must choose, as well as voters. What looks like the smart thing to do at the moment may not worK out so wen alter while. Relief Headed for a Snag THE federal government's present work relief program is expected to end next July. Few people can doubt that some sort of relief will be vitally necessary after that, but no one knows what form it will take. Because the federal government's plan is still un certain, private agencies are finding it impossible to make intelligent plans for their own future activities. So says Robert P. Lane, executive director of the New York Welfare Council. He points out that no private agency can tell just what its share of the relief load will be next year, and that consequently proper organiza tion and financing are impossible. - What is urgently needed is a comprehensive, long range statement of the federal relief program. Until such a program is agreed on, the private agencies are put under a handicap they should not be required to carry. Drive for Greater Safety ON Jan. 1 the National Safety Council will inaugurate a five-year plan of its own a nation-wide cam paign to reduce auto traffic fatalities by at least 35 per cent. The campaign is to be carried on with the aid of public officials, civic organizations, and police traffic departments, and its sponsors hope that at least 38,000 lives can be saved. " The drive will take two forms. It will call for co ordination and standardization of sensible methods of traffic control, and for education of motorists to a new sense of their responsibility. . Uniform legislation, including such things as drivers' license laws, will be prepared for submission to legis latures in states which now lack such laws. All in all, the campaign ought to be productive of great good. Our traffic toll would disgrace a nation of morons. Anything that can be done to lessen it is well worth doing. One of the finest features of Christmas is its music. Dozens of worthwhile musical presentations are planned for Klamath Falls Sunday, and for Christmas day. One of these is the annual carol service presented by the school singing groups of the city, on Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian church. Last year's program was widely heralded. The church should be filled for this event. f sL fym Alleged violations of the Knox state liquor law, and charges of sale ot liquor to Indians brought five into the city jail Thursday night and early Friday, accord ing to police arrest docket. James McDonald and Sam Combs, charged with sale to In dians were turned over to the county jail to await arrival of federal officers. Roy Elder and Lowell L. Kohn paid fines of $35 each on chargea ot sale of liquor and aiding and abetting such sales in violation of the Knox liquor law. Robert H. McDonald, arrested on the same charges, is serving out a 17V.-day jail sentence In lieu of a 135 fine. Charles E. Miller, who ap peared before Police Judge Rich mond Thursday evening, was fined (100, sentenced to 50 days in jail and had his automobile driver's license revoked upon pleading guilty to charges ot hit and run driving. Ben DeLap, 48-year-old logger. was fined 110 on charges of drunkenness. Judge Richmond fined four utomobile operators $2.00 each Friday on charges of running stop signs. A French scientist contends that It the tongue Is long, it de notes frankness: if broad, ex- pansiveness; . if narrow, concen tration; and if long and wide, a weakness for gossiping. Editorials on News (Continued From I'ago One) sollnl would prefer to attempt the impossible, such as picking a quarrel with Britain, so that he could say to his people: "The odds against us. you see, have be come TOO GREAT. We'd better submit, rather than be annihi lated." That would be a rather grace ful way of letting go ot a poker that had become too hot. TJf READING these reports, ro member that a lot of them are bluff. Diplomats and dictators work that way. But they do show the possibilities of trouble that exist in Europe. If we bad got into the league of nations, we'd be up to our necks right now In all this mess of trouble, with plenty of possibili ties of being dragged into what ever wars the diplomats and the dictators of Europe rig up. Senator Borah, you will re member, was one of those princi pally responsible for KEEPING US OUT of the league of nations. That Indicates that he is (tided with a reasonable measure of HORSE SEN3K. Common horse sense is a tremendously valuable quality right now. An 'eclipse lasts longer near the equator, due to the fact that the earth spins faster here and the observer keeps up with the moon's shadow for a longer pe riod. . 10 WASHINGTON NIJWH HUH INK TMU NhiWH The Inside Story Vtom Tlio t'apltitl . 11 I'AUI.

Dee. 11 Tim president's playfulness with his associates Inside tho While House has not suffered front Hie re cent ptesHiua of budget inuk lug, vrllli'lHin nod unfavorable political polls. Ouo day, this week, was par ticularly heavy. Ilia engagement lint ( contained a doiott calttira. Also a budget conference at which there was to b consider able fuming and fretting. Mr. Roosevelt found time, however, to dletuto im unofficial letter to his military aide, Colomil "Paw" Watson, along theso gen oral lines: Tho president will glvo Col onel WntHon Just twenty-four hours to answer certain charges. These charges are to tile effect that you, t'olonel Watson, have been bragging that you bagged two turkeys with one shot lit tho Wooilmont Gun Club a few weeks iiro, whereas tile truth of the mtilior Is the turkeys worn blind, mid you are just trying to Injure tho reputation of I lie club champion, Admiral Cnry Grayson, who never hoot tur keys which ale blind, but only thoso which are tied. PLOT Colonel Watson is supposed to have Investigated and learned that tho charges ngnlnnt hi in wero planted with the president by that great democratic planter, Bernard M. Munich. In his re ply, tho colonel contended that Mr. Ilaruch could not bag a tur key, except with a fork, after It hud been cooked. Ho de manded a court of Inquiry, which, ho said, would prove that tho turkeys were blind because ho allot both through tho eyes with the siiiuu shot. All of the Inside crowd doubt that a court of Inquiry will be held. There Is gravo 'suspicion that a fair trial would disclose a certain amount of democratic propaganda in these contentious. The best siiot In or near tin club is known to be a republican, and, worse, a Hoover repub lican l.arry Rlchey, former sec rotary to Mr. Hoover. Ho never kilts a turkey until he has shot off all Its feathers, one by one. This saves time la dressing it.
