Travelogue BACK at the (rind after three days of wandering through the pin woodi, the lush meadowi and the sagebrush-studded high deserts east of here, this writer places these conclusions on record: . 1. That the republicans do quite well in convention when W are away from the teletypes. 2. That it may not rain often in the desert country, but when it does, such familiar words as "torrents" and "pitchforks" are wholly inadequate, 3, That our own back country of eastern Klamath and Lake counties offers all that can be asked for a swell camping trip, Vrr received our formal notification of Senator McNary's nom (nation at the hour of midnight as we lay in a sleeping bag under the whispering pines somewhere on Dairy creek. The informant was Secretary Earl Reynolds of the chamber of com merce, who, with Creamery Man Percy Murray and their re spective male offspring, caught up with this writer and his two youngsters at that hour and place after a day of automotive difficulties. We had heard of the Willkie nomination before leaving town en a jaunt to show the boys Hart mountain, heretofore a mysteri ous wonderland to which their fathers trekked with a lot of Oldsters on those famed "Antelope trips." The journey to Hart mountain was routed via Dairy creek and the Chewaucan, as tine a fishing and camping country as you will find anywhere. The Murray-Reynolds entourage came into Dairy creek camp everal hours late but, as we have said, full of good political news. With the help of Babe Green, Glenn Jester and "Fat" Casebeer of Bly, this scribe, who is a notoriously poor angler, already had a nice mess of fish from Dairy creek and the South fork of the Sprague, just to prove he hadn't been wasting his time. AT the Hart mountain wildlife refuge headquarters, located on . . the site of the old Lyons sheep ranch at the edge of the weeping Hart mountain plateau, we stopped to chat with Jean Branson, refuge chief. We asked Mr. Branson if it would rain. , . He cast an experienced eye at the threatening sky. "It has ' passed up a lot of good chances," he said. "I think you are safe." ; But it turned out that old Jupe had been waiting just to turn tomething on that would be remembered. There was a drizzle Saturday night, but that merely complicated the problems of outdoor cooking and sleeping at the famed Blue Sky. hotel IS miles beyond Mr. Branson's headquarters. i In the night, the rain stopped entirely. Sunday morning there was a rumble of thunder and black clouds crept across tho aky as the two automobiles, loaded for the home trip, started cross the desert for one last look for antelope on Spanish and Desert lakes. ;. ' Suddenly, it came. There was a machine-gun rattle of hall On the roof of the car, and then water came out of the sky in unbelievable quantities. ; In a moment the road two ruts through the sagebrush was running with several inches of a brown mixture of desert soil, water and hail. We about-faced and started for civilization. For miles, the cars splashed through the flooded desert country, omeumes in water nearly a foot deep. We discovered, fortu nately, that there is a surprisingly good "bottom" to those desert roads, and we outran the storm into comparatively dry country at the park headquarters, without mishap. ;' Backtracking down the mountain grade which has .been im proved by the CCC and refuge authorities into a comparative boulevard we took a road along the mountain base we believed Would take us to Plush. - But seven miles in a rancher told us we had better go back. We could see Plush just across the meadows, but he warned that we couldn't get through. So we went back, dose against the mass of rugged beauty that is the Hart mountain rim, and circled the meadows to Plush. A bearded native passed our parked car in Plush. We asked him about that road across the meadows and told him we had been warned away from it by a rancher. i "You could have gotten through," he said, "but he probably figured you were strangers and would get stuck, and he would have to go down and pull you out on Sunday." t That, we observed as we started for home, is putting a pretty strict . construction on the rules of Sabbath observance at a lonely desert ranch. . WASHINGTON, July 1 Today it sounds just as improbable as Willkie sounded last April 23 when the first news that there would be a formidable national movement developing for him led this column, BUT - Mr. Roosevelt may choose Fio rello LaGuardia. the New York mayor for the democratic nom ination, if he can get away with it. Feelers are out. LaGuardia has a friend who has been sitting on the arm of Mr. Roosevelt's chair for months, the former La Guardia braintruster, Adolph Berle, who has been acting in that same capacity at the White House since he was borrowed by the president from the New York City hall. Not for that reason but chiefly because of the politi cal necessity, the New York labor fusionist has assumed logical proportions in many a White House eye. He is simply the only public figure they can see on the reform horizon who has a chance aside from Mr. Roosevelt himself to stand up to the republican nominee in intelligence or ability. None of the other alternates for Roose velt in the new deal coterie measures up to what is required the political necessities of vigorous campaigning, forceful appearance, shrewd judgement, in their not-very-humble opinion. Mr. Roosevelt does not want it personally, at least he does not on Tuesdays, Thursdays. Saturdays and Sundays. The physical requirements of the tedious international and defense job he has been going through and will continue to go through have added probably insur mountable obstacles to another four years. Forced to cast about for a man, it is not un-natural that he would look for the ablest exponent of his point of view now that the republicans have chosen, with an utter disregard for the usual strictly party con siderations, the ablest spokesman of the opposite viewpoint. LaGuardia, of course, would be a bitter pill for many a demo cratic leader to swallow. But Mr. Roosevelt has the water to wash it down the heavy major ity ol delegates to the forthcom ing convention. He dominates them so completely, to the ex clusion of the influence of the regular party leaders from the south in congress, that he could nominate practically anyone.

PIERCE ON BRIDGES' DEPORTATION WASHINGTON, D. C, (To the Editor) On June 13. 1940, I votod against the Allen bill which provided for immcdialo deportation' of Harry ilridges. This vote wus dictated solely by my cunsvieiu'0 and my judgment. 1 knew a vote for the bill would bo on the popular side. I was not voting for or against Bridges. 1 was voting to protect tho con stitutional rights and privileges of all who live within tho bound aries of our country. There wove 42 members of the houso who voted aijninst this legislation, among them were some of its strongest men. including Wads worth of New York, an able con servative stutesiuuu who has served in both house and senate. Tho bill was entirely unconsti tutional. It did not even allow the victim the right of hubeos corpus, a right which has been dear to tho English-governed people for centuries. Our con stitution provides that this right shall not be suspended except In case of war. Our constitution also provides that we ..luill not enact bills ol attainder. This was clearly a bill of attainder. Shall wo maintain our democratic pro cess, or are wo going lo adopt Hilleristie methods at tins criti cal tune? I suggest Unit those who are interested reread the constitution. There is very much more at stake than the future of Bridges. The action which was proposed seemed to those voting against it wholly repugnant to everything for which America stands. I do not bclicvo this bill i will pass the senate, and if it the President must, in llouwihoU Art h Alloa Orooki MrXary, Willkie Meeting Arranged WASHINGTON.

July 1 P It wasn't a robbery the way Patrol man D. D. Blackwood saw it after he investigated a hold up report on the East Side Sunday. His report: 'The auy was drunk and his wife took the rest of his money. Advised him to learn his capacity and stay under it." trary, tyrannical act. The Washington Post said edi torially: "What is almost past belief, however, is that a Icmslotlve body sworn to uphold democratic principles should be so misguid ed os to upprove a measure sub versive of the fundamental prin ciples upon which our constitu tion form of government rests of stitches. standing any other provision of law.' unci it would be the first time since the alien and sedition laws of a century and a half ago that any law would provide for deportation without a hearing and without, indeed, the slight est pretense toward giving the accused what our nation has lung known as 'due process of law'." Commenting on Jackson's let ter, the Post said: "Uut Mr. Jackson's sweeping condemnation of the house hill Is not based merely on his doubts about its constitutionality. Point ing nut that Ilridges has been freed of charges brought against him, the attorney general con cludes that 'by this bill the United States would deny faith and credit to its own duly con ducted legal proceedings ."

CONJECTURE RISES OVER POSSIBLE McNARY SUCCESSOR ;' SALEM, Ore., July 1 ((UP) Conjecture developed In the Oregon capital city this week over a possible successor to the senatorial post of Charles JU McNary if he is elected vice president In November. Gov. Charles A. Sprague would have to appoint a suc cessor for McNary in the event of hii election. McNary's term does not expire until 1943. The possibility that Gov. Sprague could resign the gov ernorship and have his successor name him to the senate was dis cussed. Secretary of State Earl Snell also was mentioned as possibility. jf ' - . ITABVED BUT WELL-FED ;lt is possible for a healthy, well-fed man to die of starvation ahort time after eating hearty meal. Some unabridged diction aries give one meaning of the word "atam" as "to die of cold." AQUATIC MOOSE A moose bears little resemb lance to usual conceptions of a water animal. Nevertheless, these ungainly creatures wade far out into lakes, and plunge their heads below the surface to feed on aquatic plants. At times, the animal disanDears completely from view. UNFETTERED Never was a nomination handled more efficiently than Willkie's at Philadelphia. His is probably the only nomination of the convention system since Bryan that struggled up from nothing without maklne deals with the various factional party leaders. The surface scene is com pletely clear of any possible promise made by him to get the nomination. The only suggestion of an Inside promise I heard at Philadelphia was that Willkie informed all the leaders he would "let the republican party choose the cabinet." That did not win him any factional support, however. The balloting showed he did not owe his nomination to Few, Hoover, Dewey, Taft or VITAL STATISTICS BIRTHS SMITH Born at Hillside hos pital, Klamath Falls, Ore., June 26, 1940, to Mr. and Mrs. Gor- 332 Commercial Weight: 5 pounds Anderson, 29, Eledo.
