CONTRIBUTORS to the "Telling the Editor" depart
ment are warned that letters on political subjects
win not oe accepted lor publication later than Tuesday
night and Wednesday morning:, unless such letters are
strictly and legitimately in answer to other letters which
will already have appeared in the column.
The reason for this rule is to prevent last minute
attacks or criticisms of candidates which cannot be
answered because of the lack of time to do so. In
order to be scrupulously fair, we have for many years
banned such last minute letters from the forum column.
This policy has nothing to do with paid advertising
"pace.'
; The editorial staff will be the judge of the fitness
of any lata letters for use after the Wednesday morning
edition. ...
Asleep at Wheel
SLEEP, the enemy of weary drivers, is believed to have
caused tha auto tragedy at Ellingson mill bridge Sun
day morning which killed a young Klamath county man
rand injured another. Investigators believed the driver
-and victim of the accident dropped off to sleep just
cbefore the car' missed the end of the bridge. .
v Most drivers have experienced the overpowering in
clination to doze. It usually comes late at night, or
after a long day's drive. But occasionally one finds
himself day-dreaming as he drives along, even though he
may not be particularly weary. That is almost as
dangerous as fatigue-imposed dozing.
The safest thing to do is to avoid driving at times
when body and mind are worn out and demanding rest
'A. day'a drive should be limited to the distance that can
be done by an alert, active driver. If one finds sleep
creeping up on him, it's better to drive to the side of
the road and take a nap, than to attempt to keep going.
'And day dreamers should build their castles when they
aren't at the wheel. "
Consider These Candidacies
RUNNING for delegates to the national conventions of
their two parties are two Klamath men Harry
Boivin, democrat, and Arthur Schaupp, republican. Both
are candidates from the second congressional district.
'A candidate for delegate to the republican national
convention from the state-at-large is Archie McGowan
of Burns.
! The two Klamath men are experienced in Tpolitics
and public affairs, and are qualified to function ef
fectively at the big national conventions. They are
entitled to a strong vote from their home county.
Mr. McGowan. Is the only Eastern Oregon candidate
out of 11 who are running for delegate-at-large to the
republican convention. He is dependable, and has prom
ised to support the . republican preferred for the presi
dency by Oregon voters, at the same time frankly ex
pressing his personal conviction that Thomas E. Dewey
represents the kind of a man we would like to see
receive the republican nomination.
These three men, all from our part of the country,
Reserve the earnest consideration of south central Ore
gon voters. . :

; - " (Lakevlew Examiner)
'.' Two candidates, on opposite

serve the serious consideration
of voters of Lake county. They
are Harry Bolvtn, democrat,
who seeks nomination as one

It is seldom that this part of

WASHINGTON. May IS Mr.
Roosevelt has never been
caught napping In the recently
widening aeriea of European ex
plosions. He has always expect
ed the worst and It has always
happened.
Yet there is evidence, now in
creasingly plain, that he has not
wholly applied his alertness in
action to the transition of de
fense policy required by the
turn of affairs since the Norwe
gian Invasion. About that time,
the administration received in
telligence that Hitler had basket
ed his earlier war strategy and
intended to gamble everything
on winning this year. Prepara
tions for American defense had
been made on the logical as
sumption of a long war. Ap
propriations for both army and
navy were made at this session
of congress on the expectation
that we would not need to be
ready to defend ourselves for
12 to 18 months. The accumu
lation of materials vital for the
army and the launching of new
naval vessels were projected
along that line. Behind this
planning was the natural as
sumption that the allies would
win anyway.
The last three weeks have un
dermined these basic expecta
tions and somewhat alarmed all
officialdom as to the state of our
defenses. Not only is the army
18 months behind in the com
monest essentials for an initial
protective force (see column
dated May 6), and the navy a
year or more away from recon
ditioning its ships on deck and
on the bottom to withstand the
new implements of attack, but
the bogging -down of government
efforts to accumulate essential'
strategic war materials further
betrays the appalling weakness
that is apparent all along the
line.
a a a
MUDDLED
Laissez-Faire methods and
conglomerated red tape are ap
parent in what has gone on
inside in the ' accumulation of
strategic war materials. Econo
mists have thought we needed
stores of at least $800,000,000
worth of tin, rubber and other
absent materials, the source of
which is now threatened by the
questionable status of the Dutch
East Indies and other world
trade routes. The army-navy
board, with an eye on the bud
get asked for $200,000,000 to
start. Congress authorized $100,-
000.QJ0 to be spent over four
years at the rate of $25,000,000
per year. Then it appropriated
only $10,000,000 for the first
year, and now In the second year
of this program Mr. Roosevelt
has asked for $19,000,000, get
ting $12,500,000, of which only
$3,000,000 will be available be
fore July 1.
Thus what started out as an
$800,000,000 defense project has
borne less than $13,000,000 of
fruit in the first two years of its
operation. Prospects of future

EVOLVED
The program itself did not
spring from direct administra
tion initiative but evolved indi
rectly when Senator Miller of
Arkansas introduced a bill two
years ago proposing to buy do
mestic manganese at a price
which would have amounted to
double the world price. When
executive departments objected
congress asked them to write
their own strategic materials
bill, and the present law was
the result. But in passing it
congress imposed restrictions
against buying abroad in order
to favor American producers, re
strictions which the treasury has
interpreted as requiring about a
25 per cent bonus In some in
stances to domestic manufactur
ers. This has led the program In
to some amazing blind laby
rinths. A woman, for one ex
ample, won her bid to produce
chromite ore in Alaska many
months ago, but both the con
crete and the woman have been
missing ever since. In another
case the navy awarded a con
tract to a low-bidding individual
for chome ore to be delivered in
6 months but 18 months expired
without any deliveries.
OFFER
A Dutch mission came here
secretly from the East Indies
some time back with the prd
posal to furnish all the tin the
United States could take. The
suggested deal involved Ameri
can payment in gold to be left on
- ideposit
here for Dutch pur
chases. This deal could have
been completed any time up
until the Germans moved into
Holland, but various legal con
siderations held it up.,
PLANS
The administration has been
acting hurriedly to offer some
remedy. Involved government

The remedy is likely to take the
line of enlarging the power of

FROM A8HUP SUPPORTER
CHILOQUIN. Ore., (To the
Editor) Wo have born hear
ing a great drnl lntoly of the
valiant fight Edward R. Ash
urst has been waning against
the gnmblurs, viro rings, etc. I
want to toll of anuthvr side of
his character.
I am a "plain blunt woman
that loves my friends" and so
I will tell the simple, plain,
unvarnished truth of my pei
sonnl experlonce with the Judge
and a "so-culled prominent luw
yer" of Klnmr' Falls.
About five years ago I was
totally nlono In the world, with
out money or Influence. In fact
a mere noncnlty. I did house
work on other women's houses
and for that prlvllego received
29 cents an hour. I was des
perate. A friend advUcd me to see
the above-mentioned lnwyer,
thinking for soverul rc-sons he
might bo Interested in my case.
My friend telephoned the law
yer, telling him he "had a client
for him." His reply came Im
mediately over the wire; "Hnve
they any money?" In eonso
quenco it was with a heavy
heart I went to his office. I
found him utterly indifferent
to what I had to tell him of my
troubles. He did write a letter
for me, but as abruptly showed
me the door. lie had more im
portnr tM--- - his mind and
so I left his office more be
wildered than ever as to what
was to become of me.
I thouRht of Jiidito Ashurst
and when my turn enmc, I was
shown Into his office. Never
shall I forget his reception. He
seemed to sense Immediately I
was in great distress and to
every word I uttered lie listen
ed with the utmost attention
and sympathy. Ho seemed to
mako my troubles his own. He
called in his stenographer and
dictated to her a number of
letters where ho thought they
would do tho most good, and
stmsins rr" lonocomenoss
most graciously invited me to
his home to dine with his wife
and family. Afterwards by
phone and letter tho judge kept
in constant touch with mo right
up to the conclusion of my
troubles, and was instrumental
in bringing them to a happy
ending. Incidentally, the more
I tell this story the more I find
tho judge has made a practice
of such humanitarian acts of
kindness.
I cannot but help but come
to the conclusion the 'man who
puts up a great fight against
the gamblers, etc., who could
pay him handsomely for his
silence, who is all sympathy
and kindness for the unfortun
ate, even though he knows
there i s absolutely n o gain
whatever for himself, is the
right kind of timber to keep
In office as judge of the circuit
court. And so to Edward B.
Ashurst goes both my husband's
vote and my own.

JUDGE AND LABOR
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To
the Editor) We, the under
signed, noticed in the last list
of County Disbursements, a
purchase made by Circuit Judge
Edward B. Ashurst from the
only non-union printing shop In
Klumath Falls.
Since Judge Ashurst has con
sistently stated his friendship
and loyalty to union labor, not
only through newspaper adver
tising, but also over the radio,
we feel that this matter should
bo brought to the attention of
the. union workmen 1 n the
Klamath Basin.
It Judge Ashurst Is sincere
In .his professed loyalty for
union labor, wo wonder why he
buys from printing plants con
sidered unfair to union labor?
