Ml a tit AUDIT SU'UU 0 CiaCUlATIta Try the Cases FROM the time of the adoption of the law automatically suspending driver's licenses of persons convicted of drunken driving, pressure has been brought on pros ecutors and judges occasionally to reduce such charges reckless driving. Police Judge Carl Cook, at the close or a trial on drunken driving charges here this week. jiieuuunea raa. sucn pressure had. been brought on him and said it came in part from an un-named public official. The rules on drunken driving are admittedly severe in this state. Public opinion, however, has been strong -uppun, vi arasuc aeaiing witn arunKen drivers, and there has been no public demand for lessening the stringency of the laws.

It is possible some probationary permit plan, for the benefit of persons who actually must drive as a part of their work, might be devised, but this might also give rise to abuse and a question of fairness to all. v It-is. not out of reason to suppose that there are eases in which the sensible thing to do is to reduce a charge as originally filed. A charce of murder is fre quently and justifiably reduced to manslaughter. But sucn reductions should be made on the basis of facts that appear in the case, and not in response to political or" personal pressure. . : A Ordinarily, the proper and fair thing for all eon earned is to try the charge on the facts, as was done in the case here this week. Attempts to bring pressure, no difference how sincere and well-meaning they may be, have the effect of casting suspicion on those they are Intended to benefit. : : Prospects for Color AITH 10 days remaining before the primary election Vv -filing deadline, local politicians are coming out of the brush and preparing for the great struggle which biannually thrills the residents of this neighborhood. ;. There will be more contests in this year's elections than were at first indicated. Sheriff Low and County Clerk Mae K. Short, who had had a clear field for their respective nominations, both drew- opposition candidates Thursday. Others may follow. JThe state legislative situation is being watched with considerable Interest. Representative Harry Boivin and Henry Semon are without opposition in their candidacies fori the democratic nomination to the lower house, and Er.: A. A. Soule is unopposed on the republican side as yet State Senator U. S. Balentine has a clear field in both parties so far in his senate cancidacy,' despite re peated rumors that some one might come out against him. Klamath shares its senator with Lake, Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties. f With the exception of the circuit judge race, the local contests promise less fireworks than has been customary in elections here. But maybe the judge affair will make up for what is lacking in color elsewhere.

Dlrxfi y JOHN fOKP TVASHINGTON, March 21 " The White House wangled this agreement from the house labor committee to increase the national labor relations board by two members. Senator Wagner did the actual bulldogging for Mr. Roosevelt. The compromise is not as deep as the trouble nor as wide as the issue, but 'twill serve democrat ic campaign purposes if the AF of L and others who want a fresh five-man new deal on the board can be drawn into line. The trick of the' proposal is that the two additional mem bers with William Leiserson will give the White House a major ity of three. The present board rulers, J. Warren Madden, and Edwin S. Smith, ' would be squeezed down into a minority by the packing process. Mad' den's term expires next August, and naturally he will not be re appointed. Smith's tenacious hold on the office will terminate next year. Thus all would be permitted to save face, the two minority members whom Mr. Roosevelt was considering ousting, Mr. Roosevelt who gave the board its present objectionable com plexion, and congress which passed the legislation. a a a NOTE: Senator Bob Wagner, father of the legislation, put the administration's new viewpoint on NLRB classically when he said behind his hand: "You can remain, deaf, dumb and blind only so long." SIGNS OF SPRING Government economists are scanning their statistics with magnifying glasses looking for signs of spring buying power upon which the immediate course of business is likely to turn. So far they have found little evidence of wholesale de mand and consequently their guesses run on the pessimistic side. Industrial production, just announced by the federal re serve board to be 109 for Feb ruary, will be down to 104 for March. . The consensus here ' predicts a bottom of 100 to 90 will be reached within SO days. The top guess is probably best, be cause foreign buying is coming Immediately in several outstand ing lines. RETREAT ;i The British blockade grip on the skaggerak will be relaxed as a result of the latest success ful German air raid on Scapa Flow. i The British flipped back Into that death trap naval base about two weeks before the raid, hav ing abandoned it after casual ties in December. They had to go back and risk the air- bombs because Scapa Flow is the only base from which they can oper ate efficiently to maintain the blockade off the Norwegian- Swedish coasts. They are how the proposal placed upon the primary ballot The names of 450 petitioners were readily obtained. r cea.iioaYMaMC.a J'XJ "Perhaps It wasn't shoes you place? . . . Maybe a were looking for in the first nat or something ' planning to withdraw from it agam, leaving that part of the blockade largely to destroyers and submarines. Washington authorities hate to say so, but German claims in the war so far while exagger ated have turned out to be nearer accurate than the Brit ish. For that reason and others, the German account of six hits at Scapa Flow is rather gener ally accepted. British policy has been to wait until damages were repaired before admitting them, a a ZIG-ZAG ROUTE More mystifying than even Mr. Roosevelt's juggling of the third term issue has been Chair man " Jim Farley's zig-zagging course. Farley went into Massa chusetts with what seemed to be a Roosevelt delegation, then failed to justify the rumors of his friends that he would enter in Ohio and California. Yet Farley's position is well; understood and clear to his1 friends. They understand that he has figured his only chance of the nomination Is to get Roosevelt delegates if Roosevelt does not use them. Therefore, his has been a sort of an inside campaign to secure second choice pledges. As a result, Mr. Farley may emerge with much hitherto unseen delegate strength if the president re nounces. SPANISH QUEST High diplomatic personages have flown back here with In formation that while Mussolini has been losing influence with Franco in Spain, Hitler has been needling in rapidly. They tell this story: General Franco had planned an elaborate parade and invited all . ambassadors to appear at the reviewing stand one hour ahead of time that is all ex cept the German. He was . to walk in just before the parade started and get the applause.

Disregarding in structions he appeared about ten minutes before the parade started. The Franco claques seeing only that he was an am bassador, and thinking he was the one they were supposed to applaud, set up a great demon stration. It was still on when the German arrived almost un noticed. Some toll bridge attendants now use paper bags to prevent a shock of static electricity. Mo torists are asked to drop their toll payment into the bag. the paper serving as insulation against the shock. Beer always delicious when label says "Wialand's." Death in the snowswept moun tains where he had spent many years in a quest for gold has claimed Port Summers, 70-year- old Indian of the Klamath reacr vatlon. His body, half covered with snow, was found Tuesday along a mountain trail by a party of skiers who investigated when the aged Indian failed to return from his remote mine at an appointed date. Summers, who made his home on the Klamath reservation for 33 years and was widely known in Klamath county for his law enforcement work as an Indian officer, was last seen alive by Bill Slsson, of Klamath Agency, who accompanied him to his mine February 8. He was to have returned alone March IT. Falls to Appear When that date passed and the old Indian failed to appear, a searching party was formed of Victor Sisson and Lawrence Slsson of the Agency and Bob Summers, the Indian's son. They made their way by auto and skis to the point on the Diamond lake highway where the trail branches off to the site of the mine, for years the center of the elder Summers' prospect ing work. The mlno is located in Douglas county, about 30 miles from the junatlon of the Dia mond lake and Medford-Crater lake highways, above Union Creek. Packsack Found When the men had skied half the distance by trail to the mine, they discovered Summers' packsack lying in the snow at the base of a tree. Nearby they found the Indian's body, half buried in the partially melted drifts. .The Indian, who appar ently died while making camp, is believed to have propped an axe upright where he lay to mark the spot where he had died. Despite a request by the Indian that he be burled at the spot where he was found, if he died in the mountains, the body will be brought to Klamath Falls. The aged Indian had insisted upon returning to the mine des- 7U QamiLf. jbocto By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygela, the Health Magaalne 'THERE are innumerable super- stltlona and beliefs concern ing the hands. In the first place, there are the superstitions about the left hand: (DA left-handed person must work three days for the devil. (3) If your left hand Itches, you will pay out money, be dis appointed, or expvet company. (3) If you shake hands with your left hand, it will bring you bad luck. All of the omens associated with the right hand mean good luck, and with the left hand, bad luck. These beliefs have not the slightest basts in fact but are wholly dependent on the failure of primitive people to appreciate the fact that a certain number of people Incline to left-handcd-ness. a a According to experts, men were probably ambidextrous In the first place able to use both hands with equal facility. It has been argued that the ancient Hebrews and all tho Semitic peoples were left-handed be cause they wrote from right to left Then as civilization ad vanced, men had to expose themselves to new hazards, in cluding the exposure of the vital organs of the body. Therefore, men protected the left side the ! side on which the heart lies and turned the right side toward their toes. Death removed those who could not make the adjust ment so that the right hand be camo dominant. One identical twin is likely to be right-handed and the other left-handed, Among the Dlonne quintuplets, three (Yvonne, An nette and Ceclle.) who were born separately, are righl-harated. The others (Emllle and Marie) were born like twins so that Emllle is left-hsnded and Marie Is right handed. a a If the right palm Itches, one Is supposed to be lucky at get ting money, Indeed, the sym bol lam of an Itching palm comes down from the earliest times. The reason Is that, when the palm Itches, there is a tendency to close the hand, which la a ges ture associated with miserliness. One of the hardest supersti tions to explain la the Idea that cold hands mean a warm heart. Actually cold hands mean noth. Ing except that the circulation in the liands Is not as good as It ought to be.
