Although the sump has been prominent in the news for a good many years, it is safe to say many people of this region do not fully understand the part it plays in the Klamath basin reclamation lay-out, nor the economic importance of what has happened in the sump area. At the present time, a serious emergency exists in the sump situation, and it is highly important that every citizen of this territory should be fully aware of the sump's sig nificance. What happens in the next few weeks means a difference of something around $1,000,000 a year to this community. Therefore, it is suggested here that thoughtful citizens read today's news story and study the pictures and maps of the sump. CONFESSION If it is true, as the dispatches say, that the Russians are threatening the Finns with a German attack if the Finns do not retire from the field of action, what a complete and humiliating confession of failure it all is for Uncle Joe Stalin and his boys! When a country with 60 times the military strength of its adversary has to threaten to call for help, thus con fessing its inability to handle the situation alone, its face should be as red as its flag. It's like an over-grown boob of a boy calling for the help of his mother when fight ing with a youngster half his size. No one knows how long the Finns can keep this up or what the future may hold, but their record thus far has been one of glory, and it is being compared by the experts with the exploits of Stonewall Jackson in the Valley of Virginia in the Civil war. MYSTERY The strange case of the murder of Mrs. Dick Law at Aberdeen,. Wash., certainly does not lack for investigators. Mrs. Law, who was with her husband at Klamath Falls last October for the CIO convention, was brutally slaughtered in her home. The local sheriffs office, the Aberdeen police, 1 a noted criminologist, the - j f:.ll.r V, nf WnaViinorfcnn have maved in on the case. ?. The murder is being investigated and the investigators are Demg investigated, jiow ui can be probed without duplication, wasted effort, con fusion and friction between these various agencies is more than an outsider can understand. It's an apt il lustration of how far we have gone in building up a lot of different agencies to do the same thing. THRILLER Basketball is drawing larger crowds than ever in the- large centers. Some 18,000 fans saw the University of Oregon play Long Island University in New York a fortnight ago. Here at home the Klamath Union high school team is not drawing so well as it might, but those who saw the Friday night game with Medf ord got much more than their money's worth. It ended up as a see-saw thriller that stirred the watchers into an uproar of -enthusiasm. A few more games like that and word will get around town that high school basketball Is worth seeing. ' t ' GOOD WORK E. B. Aldrich has announced he will retire from the state highway commission. Mr. Aldrich is a newspaper publisher of Pendleton. Appointed to the board by Governor Martin, he has given intelligent and unselfish service for a number of years. Klamath people who have had dealings with the state highway com mission have found him fair-minded and sympathetic. He retires with honor and the thanks of the state he has served. : WOMAN HATERS What brave men there are in Dorris is fully demonstrated by the organization there of a club to be known as the "Woman Haters." Particularly impressive is the fact that several married men belong, single blessedness being no' requirement for membership. What happens to these married members when they re turn home after sessions of the Woman Haters club may determine: the destiny of this remarkable organization.

Ljt..u m . aM in "Love Finds Andy Hardy" IE0C3 News Beh DvPaulMailor WASHINGTON, Jan. I J Navy admirals offered hints about the "Imminence" of war which were scratched from their testi mony in the house appropriations subcommittee before It was published. The record disclosed there had been deletions. Left In was a com ment by Representative Dltter of Pennsylvania on 'thla war (be ing) as Imminent as you have been telling us it Is." But no where prior to this could there be found In the record anything about the admirals telling the committee how Imminent war waa.' Those who heard the testimony ln executive a e a s I o n recollect there waa a lot of war talk by the admirals" but claim It was not particularly Impressive. The admirals were trying to make out a case for Increasing navy per sonnel to war rating. The service now la manned on a peace rating of 85 per cent; they want the money to bring it up to 100 per cent, the war-time footing. Their imminence" of peril was rounued on the old theory that the United Statea must be in a position to protect the South American coast line against any combination of Invaders, meaning, of course, Rus sia, Japan, Germany, or Italy. NOT YET AIM Few committeemen, how ever, could visualise Germany with two pocket battleships "Im minently" Invading thia continent. And the prospect aeemed equally unimminent from collapsing Jap an, futile Russia or peace-loving (now) Italy. There la going to be a lot of war talk until the national de fense appropriations get through congress. But it is not time yet to get down your gun. Just get your check pad out Instead. That's all they want now. SHOT FIRED RIVALRY Representative Cliff Wood rum's adopted pledge to limit all appropriating sub-committees to the budget estimates may have sounded like a shot ln the air, but frienda of Represen tative Cannon of Missouri heard the bullet whistle through his hat. wood rum haa a standing feud with his Missouri friend. Both are rivals for running the appropria tions committee. What Woodrum wants to kill now la Cannon'a appropriation for 1200,000,000 or so for farm parity payments,- a matter which Mr. Roosevelt left ont of the budgetand which Can non will try to restore as chair man of the agricultural sub-com mittee. Last shot has not been fired in this scrap yet, however. Mr. Cannon la lust pondering new ways and means. ENGLISH FINGERS UNDERCUTTING Mr. Hull's trade makers suspect the nimble fingers of John Bull were as in fluential as any others ln the breakdown of their treaty nego tiations with Argentina. o hint of this opinion anneared ln their public statement. They do not Intend to make an inter national incident of It. Yet the manner in which the negotiations developed certainly Justifies this conclusion. Argentina haa had an agree ment with Britain alnce 1933, whereby her aterling balances In London are used first for servic ing her debts there and next to buy British exports. Britain Is Argentina's largest customer. Ar gentina sells her mora than she buys, but buys more from ua than she sells. A simple three way deal could have been made whereby Argen tina could use her sterling bal ances to pay for purchases here, but Britain declined to allow tbo arrangement. NAVY TRICK CONNIVANCE The admirals SIDE GLANCES ttW. WO IV WWmCT.Ilic.T,W. If .WT.OT. I-' "I wish wc could iind a maid that doesn't have a yen for fried chicken 1" have frankly disclosed they slipped the objectionable Guam dredging appropriation back into their budget estimates In a novel way. It did not come out clearly, but this is what wss done: The house appropriations committee turned down last year a navy request for IS, 000, 000 to start dredging and breakwater con struction there. The navy then went to the rivers and harbors committee, but that committee re fused to consider the suggestion. So the navy got a leical opinion from Its Judge advocate general allowing it to transfer Guam to the 14th naval district (Hono lulu! and now It has concealed a $4,000,000 Guam appropriation In the general totals for the 14th district this year. But they played square with congress. Admiral Stark told what had been done. Inside congressional opposition Is based on the conviction that aa soon as the navy gets 14,000, 000 for dredging It will come back for more and . more money to establish a base there which all agree would be indefensible In war. Also there Is a suspicion the navy wants to help a commercial airline with which it plays closely in the Pacific. . . NOT , UNANIMOUS SUPRESSION Federal com munications commission report favoring a Postal-Western Union merger appeared to be unanimous, but wasn't. Commissioner T. A. M. Craven dissented on ground that the' deal favored Postal bond holders. However, he did not write a dissenting opinion, and the commission announcement strangely neglected to note his objections. 29 CITIZENSHIP PETITIONS FILED Twenty-nine petitions were fil ed ln preliminary citizenship hear ings conducted here Friday by the federal Immigration author ities. Final bearings win be held April 12. From Other Editors ASHURST'8 ATTACK (Lakevlew Tribune) Circuit Judge Edward B. Ash' urst's recent attack upon the Eaglea lodge of Klamuth Falls Is In particularly bad taste In view of the fact that none of hla charges have yet been sub stantiated. The Eaglea lodge Is well known for Ita civic and charitable character and Ita membership la composed of rep rescntatlvn and public spirited citizens of the community from almost all professions and trades. Bays tne Eagles lodge answer. ln part, to Aahurst s accusations: "We must say that the ac cusations made against our of ficers and fellow members are a severe shock, and definitely resented, and we feel that had you made an attempt to In vestigate the false cbargea your letter would never have been written. "The Fraternal Order of Eagles does not thrive on law violations or upon the mis fortunes of others. Our fra ternity exists to help our mem bers and their families. We are strictly an eleemosynary order and I believe our record In the Klamath basin has been everything that the name Implies." With which sentiments we are heartily agreed, knowing the high type of membership and the various civic and charitable func tions unsolflshly sponsored by the lodge. Lake county Is Indeed for tunate that we have a Judge of the type of Arthur D. Hay. Not only Is he personally respected and bis decisions usually upheld, but be haa more respect for his office than to turn his court room Into a broadcasting station or to make political harangues to the grand Jury.

(To the Editor) Why In the world doean't Klamath Falls wake up to the fact that It la In the need of a decent place to play base ball? The eltliens here evidently do not realise that they are miss ing or rather mlsuaelng the grand est aport In the world. By that I mean that thla town should have a baseball plant second to none In this slate. Hera we have the championship team of the North' ern California league and what noes that team have to play on A crackpot makeshift affair that Is a disgrace to this otherwise wide awake and. fine town. Every lr-.m that eoiiioa here to play the old srlcnn game has aa their home grounds a place that la at least deulgned to play ball In, and also has the support of the tana in that town. Medium, weett. Mt. Shasta and Dunsmulr tans turn out In great numbers lo sup port their teams. , What dons Klamath Falls no? Why If 400 fans turn out It Is remarkable. Get behind the toam or teams, oltlsens, and for tba love of Mike do aniuetlilng, 1 believe Unit If The News and Herald won 111 get behind this that something could he done.
