SUMP Elsewhere in today's paper are pictures and a
rather comprehensive story about the Tule lake sump.
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.

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.

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.

mean that thla town should have

A crackpot makeshift affair that
Is a disgrace to this otherwise
