Portland, Lo Angela Copies of the New and Herald, together with complete .Information about the Klamath Pa Ma market, ma be obtained for th aaklng at any of thaa offtcea Mayor NOT unexpected was the announcement by Mayor Ma honey in Portland Saturday that he would be a can didate for the United States senate. . It became obvious to the most casual observer that when the Klamath mayor began playing the Townsend game for all it was worth, he intended it should be worth something to him. It was just a question as to what of fice he would seek. Many thought Mayor Mahoney's best chance lay in a fight with Walter Pierce from the democratic congress ional nomination. Pierce bounced on the Townsend bandwaeon lonir aaro. but even so there was a irood deal of feeling that the Klamath mayor could give Walter a run for it Instead, however, he has-decided to aim his sights several degrees higher, a Mahoney tendency that is dangerous and may prove fatal. If he should win the democratic nomination, his op ponent, barring some unforeseen development, will be Senator Charles L. McNary. Senator McNary is not only the minority leader in the United States senate, but he has the confidence of a good many democrats, both at Washington and in his home state. He has been in a position to do outstanding service, for his state, and he has done it. His is an honorable record. Mayor Mahoney was aiming his sights too high when he ran for the democratic nomination for governor against General Martin. A few weeks before he announced his candidacy for governor, the mayor was quoted hereabouts as saying if Martin were to run, he wouldn't make a try for it But his enthusiasm for high stakes got the best of him, and he came out, anyhow, with results that are well remembered. One wonders if he is not now courting a repetition of that defeat. We have a hunch that not so long ago the mayor would have said that McNary could not be beaten, and that he wouldn't try it. Motorists Need Them THIS is not an advertisement for the tire chain makers - and sellers, but it's a fact, proved again and again by motorists' experiences this winter, that tire chains are an essential part of the equipment of an automobile. Sunday found dozens of automobiles in the Crater lake park country. The roads had been plowed out, but there was a light coating of certain points it was necessary, in passing other cars, to drive close to the banks where the surface was par ticularly difficult to cross. Cars without chains were a constant source of an. noyance to the traffic along Kcnmn "cfunlr" onI kln.L-.J and skidded. Motorists who carried chains with them in some cases found it necessary to assist other machines with drivers less foresighted. Chains in the car promise jrreater. safety and con venience for -the owner, and lellow. When a political campaign waxes warm, letter writ ers are inclined to wax lengthy. This newspaper wel comes letters on an siaes oi current issues, but it urges that they be kept SHORT. The limit is 500 words, and that usually is too long. Letter writers no doubt want their letters read. They should remember that short articles get far more readers than long, bulky ones. Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon manages to add his con tributions to confusion in the Lindbergh kidnaping case with rare perseverance. From Other Editors A. A. A. AND COST (South Bend (Wash.) Journal) The supreme court says that the new deal can't levy process ing taxes to pay certain farmers for not raising certain specified crops. The first Immediate result Is that the people of the United States just you and I will make un the deficit. Right now the deficit Is about a quarter of a billion dollars due farmers under present AAA contracts. But pro cessing firms are preparing to sue the government for a mere matter of about a billion more in processing taxes already paid in and paid out. We, the people of the United States, pay the bill for this and all other now deal experiments. We haven't even begun to really pay yet, because of the govern mental thrift policy of borrowing to the limit before making any move to pay off Its dents. So far as the nation Is con cerned, the AAA has resulted In almost complete loss .of export markets for products on the "not raising" program; higher cost to U. S. consumers, and "noi-rais ing" checks to a limited portion of the nation s farmers. The AAA always was a total and accumulating la;s to farmers In such countries as ours. Drain and cotton growers who still had a spark of ambition, pocketed their not-raising checks and then promptly turned to such not-Included activities as dairying and poultry raising to use the land the AAA "took out of produc tion."

Adolph's Observations T SUPPOSE that most every one wonders, sometime or other, Just what sort of a funeral he would have It he were to pass out. Whether there would be many in at tendance and It there would be flowers. I don't have to speculate any more about this. I know there will be a large crowd at mine and lots of folks from out ot town. . Last summer, through some error In identity, I was report ed to have' fallen out of a boat and drowned in a southern Oregon lake. The Medford radio station announced It and we received a great many tele phone calls from out of town folks for information about the funeral. There were also a lot of Inquiries locally, I asked at the flower shops but nobody had ordered any bouquets so that bothers me. I don't see why the Impres sion sbould have gotten around that I wouldn't want any. It may have been propaganda from my literary rivals who never get into print. I know they didn't invite me to the poets' breakfast last summer I and I wouldn't put anything I beyond them. i SIDE GLANCES-b cr crk 'Now, the onewho does the movie we The Klamath Veteran News Notes on Activities of the Loctl Veteran Groups Klamath Post No. S, American Legion, meets first and third Tuesdays st Legion hall st S:00 p. m.

Our membership contest I pro All Hands Drowned When Storm Drives Freighter on Spit (Continued from Page One) ed that no life existed aboard me remnants of the Iowa's oroken hull. Scores of beach-combers swarm ed on the beaches today, but as far as was known, their salvage was meager. A large portion of the storm-tossed lumber, shin gles, canned salmon, flour and matches was taken yesterday by hundreds of onlookers, each de positing his findings In his in dividual pile and wading back for more. AH Rope Lost Early Coast guardsmen held no hone for any ot the crew after the Iowa began breaking up yester day. The last view of life aboard the ship was that of forms scur rying np rope ladders. Then gi gantic breakers shut the doomed vessel from view. When It re appeared It was as a ghost rais ing from too-familiar scenes. Four coast guard boats, man ned by 70 men, braved what ap peared almost certain disaster in battling their way across the Co lumbia river bar and close to the site of the wrecksge. All reported tha Iowa was de serted and rapidly sinking In the sand. Hull Barely Visible Today only a small portion of the hull was visible snd the lone mast which withstood the storm was cut almost to the deckline. The wreckage was ex pected to be visible only a few hours more before the greedy waves of Peacock Spit finally swallow another of their many victims. An even greater loss of life occurred on the spit when the General Warren sank there in 1852 and 40 perished. A more recent tragedy was the demise of the Rosecrans with the loss of 33 lives In 1913. Benson Wreck Recalled The Admiral Benson grounded on the spit in 1930, but all 104 of the passengers and crew were removed before the sea claimed the ship. Fate removed two members of the crew Just before the Iowa became another ship that never returned, but at the same time placed two more aboard. Frank Eakin of Seattle and Robert G. Parker of Atlanta, Qa., left the ship shortly before it departed from Portland, Oro. The Sailors' Union of the Pa cific sent two men to Longvlew Saturday to round out tne crew. Alarm At 4:00 A. m.

The SOS flashed through the air at 4 a. m. and tho cutter Onondaga swung almost immedi ately to th. .rescue. However, the waves, tidV and wind pound ed In toward the shore so heav ily that the cutter was able to creep out over the Columbia river bar only after the late day break. The Triumph and another life saving boat from Point Adams and a third from Cape Disap pointment crossed out around 10 a. m. In making her daring but fu tile sortie the Onondaga was swept by giant seas which bat tered two deck boats, tore can vas coverings to shreds, toppled a ventilator, wrenched a three Inch cannon from Its foundation and flattened a steel stanchion. Se Roughest Ever Known The sea, said Commander Patch, "was as rough as I've ever experienced. We had to use all the power available to keep from being swept on the spit ourselves." The Iowa crossed the Colum bia bar shortly after midnight and fought several hours before finally landing on the restless sandtrnp. Captain F. M. Sweet, Astoria harbor master and member of the state board of pilots, said the Pacific surf early yesterday was "about as tough as I've ever seen."

It wua reflected all over the tlniinclal world. KALEIDOSCOPE It would be simpler If the now deal shading system were not occasionally like the street traf fic slKiinla in Washington. Some of the red stop-lights here mean go right and left. Some of tho green go-signals mean stop (one at the main entrance to the enp Itol grounds). Thus, while Mr. Roosevelt was turning his green dimmers on the devaluation rumors, some of his domocrntlc congressmen wore publicly seeing red Inflation pro babilities from the AAA decision. Also, the house was passing a two or three billion dollar bonus bill without funds, and Post master General Farley was toll ing tho democratic national com mittee that Mr. Roosevelt was a sound money man. Through .the kaleidoscope, this much can be seen for certain: Mr. Roosevelt Is preserving his devaluation powers solely- for currency dickering with foreign nations If occnslon arises. It ! may or may not come within tho next year. He will not de value any more of his own ac cord. Inflation threats were put forward by new deal congress men solely to sobor up conser vatives, cheering over the AAA decision. The congressmen could not resist the temptation. No devaluation or currency In flation Is planned, FACE Thickening of the fray has left no noticeable mark upon Mr. Roosevelt's countenance. Callers over the week-end noted tho ruddiness of his skin. No more than the usual characteristic nervousness was apparent. He still blinks his eyes frequently in a sort of squint-blink. He smokes Incessantly, twitches his cigarette holder In his fingers. From the front, his thin hair Is as gray as the smoke which ho bellows forth In Urge puffs (he! does not Inhale much). Hut from the back, bis hair Is thick-1 er and a brown-gray, j A comparison of the photos nt his Inauguration and at the Jack-: son day dinner reflects a loss striking change than might be expected. BONANZA The size of the bonus vote In the house bespoke the Internal Joy of congressmen at being able to cast It. Once Speaker Byrm stopped the roll call to request order becai se It was "a most Important vote." Mr. Byrns con sidered it so Important, he vot ed for the bonus himself. After ward, fully a dozen bonus con gressmen asked the clerk how they were recorded. They did not want any mistake made about their approval of this Is sue. About thirty-five congressmen, who voted against tho bonus last year, voted for It this time.
