Weekend Roundup
XAHAT a game it was on Modoc field Friday night
VY with two inspired teams playing to a deadlock as
their alternate thrusts toward scoring territory thrilled
a great crowd of partisan spectators. And speaking from
our own partisan viewpoint, we voice here our pride in
the. Klamath Falls youngsters who, going into the game
as underdogs, dominated the first half and went on
despite damaging injury losses to. make a gallant second
half fight. The heady quick-kicking in the first half
that put the Pelicans' opponents time and again into a
hole was beautiful to behold. To the lads who repre
sented this community in the annual test of Southern
Oregon football strength in the Medford-Klamath game,
and to their coach, our warmest respect. We're proud
of them.
People who go to football games thus indicate their
interest in physical activity, yet it is a notable fact that
they themselves engage in as little of that sort of thing
as possible in getting to the game. They will drive as
close to the main gate as possible despite the fact that
this means a serious traffic jam and long delay in get
ting away afterwards. How much easier it is to park
the family car a few blocks away and do a little brisk
walking in the night air. Try it sometime, and contri
bute to the elimination of traffic confusion at the foot
ball games.
The International Woodworkers of America conven
tion here has been marked by a sensational fight that,
quite naturally, has received widespread newspaper
notice and public attention. One or two speakers at the
convention have mentioned the newspaper treatment of
the squabble, yet no one could deny that adequate cover
age of the meeting here would necessarily feature the
fight There has been little else in the convention, up to
the time this is written. The CIO unionists, at any rate,
have the satisfaction of knowing there is nothing cut-and-dried
about their conclave.
A direct clew to the reason why steeli production in
the United States climbs toward 90 per cent is contained
jn a study by the American Iron and Steel Institute. It
is not so much that war materials are being made for
export as the fact that among the chief steel-exporting
countries have been England. France, Germany and Po
land. None of these is at the moment in a position to
export much finished steel.
Let's chuck It all up, and sail for Tahiti! Enough
of this eternal war talk and enough of depressions and
the hardscrabble of life! Let's go to Tahiti and lie under
a breadfruit tree, and Invite our souls! Oh, yeah?
Well, if you've got any such idea In your head, get it
out! Tahiti is at war. You see, that's one of the
colonies of the French Empire.
Negro Dies In Gas
Chamber For Death
Of Aged Recluse
' SAM QTJENTIN PRISON, Cal.,
Oct. 11 (U.R) With hli eyei taped
with gauze, William Green.' 19-
y ear-old Fresno negro died in the
Ban Quentln lethal gas chamber
yesterday for the slaying of W. G.
Leek, a 69-year-old recluse.
For the first time since the gas
chamber was adopted for execu

were covered, to spare the wit
nesses the ordeal of watching his
eyes roll as the fumes reached
him.
Green was pronounced dead 14
minutes after pills of cyanide
dropped Into a pan of acid, pro
duced the lethal fumes.
Leek, who was supposed to have
had 117,000 cached near his Fres

potter's field last March. Green
was arrested but Insisted he was
Innocent. However, he was con
victed and sentenced to death.

WASH1NGTON, Oct. 11 Hlt-
" ler's spell of speechlessness
has been due to his inside con
centration on trying to get mili
tary help from Russia and Italy.
The wires from Berlin to Moscow
and Rome have been carrying
tempting baits to hook an active
military ally.

next step that Hitler has planned
when his search for allies finally
fails. A further bending of the
Rome-Berlin axis to the breaking
point la loftily expected and there
would be no surprise It It falls
completely apart.
PROPAGANDA
Inside reports from the Caro
lina tobacco regions indicate a
subtle British propaganda cam
paign there for embargo repeal.
The reports have been received
by a government department and
by congressmen In such a double
confirming way that no question
of their authenticity exists here
although of course an effort is
being made to prevent auch a deli
cate matter from being drawn in
to the open shipping bill debate.
British ceased their important
season buying in the American
market very strangely upon the
outbreak of war. This forced the
closing of the market at"- the
height of the season. No forceful
excuse waa offered. British
stocks are slightly higher than
normal and they may want to con
serve exchange but. after all, their
people are not going to smoke
any less, but probably more, as a
result of the war.
Tobacco planters subsequently
(October 5) held elections to vote
on quotas, and at several of these
meetings, resolutions were passed
asking congress to repeal the arms
embargo. Certain agricultural
authorities here considered this
strange as an embargo on . arms
had nothing to do with tobacco
and they investigated. They have
reported that buying agents for
the British let word get around
to the planters that British buy
ing would resume when the em
bargo was repealed. Letters from
home received by Carolina legis
lators here indicate farmers were
told that the British "naturally
in Ln from their friends" and
repeal of the embargo was) neces
sary to show our iriennsnip. in
deed some farmers had the mis
taken notion that the existing em
bargo is on tobacco, although, no
one here Is accusing the British of
spreading such misinformation.
BRITISH POLICY
Obviously this tobacco situation
Is the key to wise British policy.
Her buying in cotton and many
other lines slid off at the outset of
the war. Everything has been
held back "until the embargo is
repealed."
But government economists who
are wholly impartial on the em
bargo issue are now becoming ap
prehensive that the anticipated
buying will not live up to its prom
ise even when repeal comes. A
large number of them are actually
predicting privately (and this
news has been passed out in the
confidential business letter ser
vices that our Industrial produc
tion will be lower the first quar
ter of next year because foreign
purchases will not be as great as
our Industrialists have been led
to expect.
Indeed, the president's Laugh
Iin Carrie spending group Is
reported working on plana for
new government expenditures to
be presented to the January ses
sion of congress to "take up the
Black" expected next year. One
of these spending plana involves
a new federal grid system for
power defense (a revision of the
old $600,000,000 scheme.)
The economists' deductions are
based on open-faced facts that all
can readily see. The British are
buying most of the Egyptian cotton
crop. They also took the entire

AMONG the diseases which are
transmitted from animals to
men undulant fever is especially
significant.
The condition has been called
brucellosis because the germ that
causes It was isolated by a physi
cian named Bruce In 1SS6. It has
also been called Malta fever be
cause of studies Identifying It
with a disease which appeared ou
the Island of Malta in 1SS7.
Either of these terms is prefer
able to undulant fever, because
the fever does not appear in wave
like episodes In all of the cases.
Three types of the disease are
now known. The germ may be
transmitted to man from the goat,
the cow, or from the hog. In this
country cows and hogs are the
usual source of Infection of hu
man beings.
a a a
Goat's milk Is often the orig
inal source of germs in the first
type of fever. In sections of the
country where goat raising Is com
mon, the Infection may spread
to sheep, cattle and other animals,
and from them to man.
A second type of fover. that as
sociated with the cow. Is known
as contagious abortion of cattle. It
is sometimes called Bang's dis
ease after the discoverer who rec
ognized the condition.
This phase can be transmitted
to human beings by the drinking
them to let us have some of tt.)
The British move for Industrial
ization of Canada has taken form
with the allocation of 1600.000,
000 tor plane factories and a prom
ise of 13,000,000,000 more.
No one here la criticizing the
British for all this, even the
propaganda. It obviously mrans
only that the British arc looking
out for the British, as they
should.
of Infected raw milk and by con
tacts with infected cattle. Ob
viously, people who drink well
pasteurised milk are likely to es
cape thla Infection.
The third type, called brucella
suls. Is confined to hog raising sec
tions of the United States. It
seems to affect particularly work
era In packing plants and butcher
shops who handle swine carcasses.
No person should develop any
one of those types of undulant
fever because proper pasteurisa
tion of milk, Inspection of herds
to keep them free from Infection,
eating only well cooked pork, and
avoidance of any contact with un
safe goat's milk protects them
from the germs that cause this
disease.
Hoover Warns
Nation Against '
War Dictator
NEW YORK. Oct. 21 U.R) If
the United States enters the pre
sent European war. the American
people must be prepared to accept
an immediate dictatorship and to
remain under a dictatorship for a
generation after the war Is over
"If not forever," former President
Herbert Hoover ssid last night.
Hoover, In a speech broadcast
over the N. B. C. network, devoted
himself largely to a defense of his
proposal of 10 days ago that the
United States limit sales of
weapons to foreign nations to those
which are used primarily for the
defense of civilian populations and
prohibit the sale of weapons such
aa submarines, bombing planes and
poison gas which can be used for
attacks on civilians.

1909, by Lieutenant Shackteton, at

WASHINGTON. Oct. 11 (U.R)
The administration's good neigh
bor policy has run up against
western and mid-western farm
liiteroals which today threaten
ed political repercussions It con
templated trade agrtenienta with
Argentine and Uruguay Include
significant conccsalons on Amer
ican agricultural products.
Hearings on the proposed
agreement with Argentina, which
the administration views as the
keystone of lis good neighbor
policy In Latin America, were
completed Thursday after 60
members of congress had testi
fied In opposition.
The administration, with Ita
eye on .MI,00O,(l(HI of tier
man trade, hopes to negotiate
speedily an agreement with the
rich countries of the I.atMatta
region and at the same time
cement "hemispheric front"
against the Kuroiean war.
Sen. Edward Burke. D.. Neb.,
who supported the reciprocal
trade agreement a act when It
was passed, said tonight that
"agricultural sections of the
country are up In arms against
the trade agreements admitting
farm products Into the United
States."
Ilurke, who has been an ad
ministration opponent on other
Issues, said that "any political
parly which espouses further ad
mission of competitive farm
products into this country won't
have a chance In the west and
midwest at the next election."
Germans Claim
Proof Ilrltain
Sank Dig Ship
BERLIN. Saturday, Oct. 11 ftl.R)
An official nail account published
by newspapers today under head
lines "Athenla Crime Proved!"
said an American survivor, Qustav
A. Anderson had established the
British liner was sunk on Septem
ber 3 at "the command" of Win
ston Churchill, first lord of the
British admiralty.
The Hermans stubbornly have
denied the Ilrltlsh claim a nazl
submarine torpedoed and sank the
Athenla on the first day of the
war and have said Britain ordered
the vessel destroyed In order to
arouse American anger against
Germany, because muny American
refugees from the European war
zones were aboard.
Stress was laid on Anderson's
statement the Athenla after being
kept afloat for more than a half
day finally was sunk by shells
fired into the ship by three British
destroyers.
(The British have pointed out
that, after all survivors were re
moved from tho Athenla after Its
Idrpedolnr hy a German U-boat,
the vessel was sunk by shelling In
order that it would not remain as
a menace to navigation in the sea
Isne off the southwest coast of
Ireland.)
The D. N. D. atatement said be
cause of the "excellent quality" of
German torpedoes, as proved when
the British battleship Royal Oak
was sunk at Scapa Flow a week
ago today. It would bare been Im
possible for an unprotected mer
chantman to keep afloat for 14
hours If torpedoed.
A British invontor once propos
ed to make 12-hour balloon trips
from England to Australia. His
plan was to ascend high In tbe air
and wait 12 boura for the earth
to make half a rotation. He be
lieved he then would be able to
land on the other side of the globe.
