Announcement from the for construction of another Lakeview highway tracks made by Senator McNary in important highway. Learning that there was ditional PWA help for this tions, Klamath and Lake wired Senator McNary asking him to use his good offices in promoting their early approval. He responded immediately and effectively, with the result that approval of the grants was announced. Steady progress is now being made in bringing the Klamath Falls-Lakeview highway out of the unsatis factory situation in which it remained for several years. There is still much to be done, but the highway is now receiving the attention from state and federal road au thorities it deserves as a major artery between two busy Southern Oregon communities. Lake and Klamath people have shown commendable cooperation in working to this end. Hardin C. Blackmer, in his campaign for re-election as district attorney, has the advantage of four years ex perience in the office. In his favor is a record of steady attendance upon the duties of the office, of sensible handling of many diverse and difficult cases, and of ap pointment of able deputies and other assistants. His temperament must be at least partially credited with the settlement of a nasty row that broke shortly after he took office, and might easily have kept the county in an uproar over a period of years. A note to contributors to the "Telling the Editor" , column on. this page : Letters on political matters will not be accepted- too late for an answer by those, concerned. No letters will be published at all on Monday unless such letters are strictly in the nature of an answer to a previous letter, and fairness demands an answer be published. The corrupt practices act requires that any such political matter must bear the signature and address of the person writing. The signature must be bona fide. Klamath's high school football team faces an im portant test Friday night when it meets the Eureka log gers, winners over Medford. This column hereby goes out on a limb and predicts a Klamath victory, by a score that will leave no question of the superiority of the local aggregation. Incidentally, Safeway's gift of a streamlined water wagon, seemed to do the Kiamath team a lot of good last week, along with the return of Bob Anacker. We hope both the wagon and Bob are there in full strength Friday night.

GERMANS GRANTED FREEDOM AFTER SWIMMING ASHORE LOS ANGELES. Nov. 3 (U.R) Two young Germans, who leaped into the sea rather than risk de portation to Germany where thev feared they would oe executed, late Wednesday were awarded their temporary freedom.

Tnev swam ashore near tho Golden Gate and hitch-hiked to Santa Barbara wnere they were taken Into cust ody and brought here. Kurth and Haberman. neither of whom Is Jewish, said they were wanted by nazl authorities for distributing anti-Hitler leaflets in Germany. They said they feared the headman's axe if they were returned, and begged they be deported to some other country., Immigration officials agreed to release them on bond. Attornnvs said they are trying to arrange for their deportation to Mexico, so they can reenter tbe United States under the Immigration quota. If It can be arranged, they said they would apply for American citizen. ship. News Behin Ptm py rsVUL rlALLON. WASHINQTON. Nov. S Ordln y rlly the one thing a man enn din hopefully to, In a swiftly changing; world. It "normal" the lifeline of those who hope to get duck. Not so with Agriculture Secrv tary Wallace. Never was a good nnlured man ao beset by normal Ity. Back in August he was re quired by the law of congress to decide whether the corn crop was normal. If it had been above nor mal, he would have had to hold a referendum of corn farmers on crop curtailment. Adverse polls of the corn farmers told him that was not tho thing to do, what with an election coming on, and those terrifying republicans anxious to see the grandeur of the new deal taken down a peg or two. So what would a wise man do? Mr. Wal lace did it. He did not fool with the Irate corn farmers. Ho fooled "normal." Mr. Wallace estimated that a normal year's supply plus exports "adjusted for current trends" (adjusted is the proper word) would amount to S.470. 000.000 bushels. Thus, he avoided referendum by pushing normal up. Toe country wtia saved for Democracy (capital D please). No referendum was held. IT AGAIN' Now the situation Is different. It bis normal were normal yet, he would have to make corn loans at 61 cents a bushel and he does not want to do that. No one wants to do it. Sixty-one cents is so high above the market price that it he makes corn loans at that figure he might be in the same situation he was in cotton when he loaned too high above the. market price. (no got a surplus which he can not dispose of.) If you can think of anything better to do than to change "nor mal" again, yon will please com municate with Mr. Wallace, care the asrlculture department, Washington, 1). C, as he would no doubt like to hear of it. In the Interim, a new normal is about to be made. This "normal" is going to be below 2,431.000,001) bushels, or else Mr. Wallace's mathemati cians have lost their courage. That kind of a normal will permit Mr. Wallace to lend at 87 cents a bushel, the figure he has already set in an nnotficial announce ment. It normal were what Mr. Wallace decided It was last Aug ust, he would have to lend 61 cents, wnicn would be almost as bad an economic development it the republicans won. So normal revised isn't going to be normal any more, it may be safely said normality is wholly contingent upon whatever Mr. Wallace decides is best. DIFFERENT STORY Much depends on who you are Investigating. The same day the Dies committee was brought to turn by the president, - the La toilette committee served two subpoenas (without announce. ment) upon California officials of the National Association ot ManU' facturers. Thus while the un-American activities inquiry Is nearing close under a ' White House shadow, the competitive civil liberties Investigation is resuming under a California election lime light. Subpoenas were in connection with the new farmers movement there, favoring the republican senatorial candidate. LaFollette committee suspects N. A. M. bad something to do with It, but will find out for sure after election. LONGER TERMS A report Is being prepared by federal reserve recommending better government facilities for small business loans. One sugges tion is amendment of section 13-B of the federal reserve act to per mit 10 to 15 year loans through federal reserve banks. Present legal restriction Is 6 years, under which about $100,000,000 has been loaned and $16,000,000 Is still outstanding. New planners think a halt billion in loans could be made under their new setup, On FRB loans to small business so far, Interest already has ex ceeded losses. Idea of new loans would not be to make an Interest profit but to preserve principle. In this respect, RFC has not done much about $100,000,000 to $125,000,000 in total loans, i bagatelle, economically, NOT SO SLMl'LB Bows and arrows are being al ready aimed In congress at tbe two-price system. A congressman has sent out a letter to all col leagues asking what they think about it and pointing to the ex perience of apples. There, 4 per cent of the crop was sequestered by tbe government for a smaller price sale and many an apple grower has the idea that it ruined the whole market. It deprived the seller of some sales, put tbe lower price idea in tho buyer's mind. Only thing sure so far is that the two-price idea will not be worked out as simply as it has been conceived.

Journal of the American Medical Association, anil of Hyitrla, tho Health Magazine TN a recent survey of the hss- ards of dry cleaning to health, a study was mado of the different hazards involved in cleaning In the home. Usually dry cleaning operations aro conducted In the basement or In the kitchen. The clothing may be washed In cleaner's uaptba. This substance is, however, explosive and has eton been ignited by static sparks produced by rubbing silk gar ments on each other, as well as by open flames, hot stoves, faulty electrical connections, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, elec tric toasters and other home elec trical appliances. In some In stances explosions have followed the turning of electric lights on or ott. The basement room is usually small and without windows, so that a high concentration ot vapor is easily possible. In the kitchen, aa well as in the basement, there Is also the danger ot exDloslon rrom contact of these vapors with pilot lights ot oil and gas heaters or stoves. To some extent, these hazards of dry cleaning may be lessened by doing the work outdoors on a day when the humidity Is high. This avoids the accumulation of tbe vapors of tho cleaning agent in a confined room and reduces the danger from static sparks. As everyone knows, the danger ot sparks is greater on a clear day. ror noma cleaning, there are several substances which are fire proof. Among these is cleaner's naptha to which enough carbon tetrachloride has been added to raise the explosive point beyond the danger zone. However.- the vapors of such substances as car tious concerning his strange sur roundings when he emerged from the White House.

Thus the fire haiard is elim inated, but a new health haiard Is brought in. Because ot the dan ger of fire and the danger to health, It Is probably safor to have I the cleaning done by experts In i large establishments than to do It In the home. 1 It is also frequently necessary . to combine dry cleaning with washing, since washing with soap or other agenis will take out much dirt thnt will not be removed by dry clcnnlng. In addition to the hazards that come from fir and from the In haling of poisonous gases, work ers In the dry cleaning. Industry aro subjected to heat from the machinos used for pressing. This applies not only to those which are motor driven or steam Dresser a e vices but also to electrlo hand Irons. Frequently people who have worked for a long time at such devices have developed diffi culties of posture affecting tho back and the legs. People who use hand pressing devices sometimes have Inflammation In the back of their hands from the constant lift ing and pressure on the Iron. when gas Is used as tbe heat agent, there Is the secondary pos- siDinty of carbon monoxide pol sonlng due to tho escape ot a cer tain amount of gas Into tho air, rlnally, women employed In this Industry sometimes suffer from the excessive moisture that is as sociated with the use of a scrub bing brush and board, tho splash Ing ot water and concomitants of wash day. It has been recom mended that those who work every day at this type of employ ment should wear rubber boots or shoes and aprons in order to over come this hazard.
