WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 Na tional defense moguls have clamped down the lid, scaled and soldered it. No word ema nates from the defense commis sion except through the press publicity bottleneck of which R. W. Horton is the cork. No newsman may interview any em ploye of the defense commission without first getting Mr. Hor ton's sanction and Mr. Horton demands to know what questions are to be asked before he will sanction. He decides what ques tions may or may not be asked. Simultaneously the war de partment has decided to crawl into the same bottle. Under the Woodring-Johnson regime, the freest latitude was allowed em ployes there to discuss defense and martial problems. It seems probable that the new Secretary of War Stlmson has sealed offi- -.- hv r4irM-t tffii-tnl nrHar At ueaa in Aiamatn auto acciaems: (.

The butcher must pay $25 to Join a union so thai he might have the privilege ol soiling meat, and the fees paid for the right to work run the scale from a buck to $.1000 depending on the strength of the union In any particular field and the conse quent amount the union Is able to exact from Its victims. In many cases where the victims refuse to pity tribute to the labor gangsters, the rebels are taken for a ruie. or beaten up, or his home or place of business is burned or otherwise wrecked. Isn't this gangsterism In Its worst form. The American woiklng peo ple want tho right to work, the right to spend money earned by their labor as they see fit, the right to Join unions of their own choosing without pressure of coercion from union officials, and the right not to Join a union If they don't wish to do so. In other words, the American worker wants and should have the right to individual decisions I in matters of vital importance workmen of tho United States ' to himself.

(To the editor) Now that the break- fied, is that people are really better automobile drivers than they are usually given credit for being. When one considers the vast amount of driving that is done, the thousands of intersection interceptions in Klamath Falls in a single day, the thousands of times that cars meet and pass on the highways of the county every 24 hours, it must be admitted that the vast majority of automobile drivers are expert and responsible. Perhaps it is a mistake to make such an admission, and it certainly would be a mistake to let it affect the great educational campaign that is being constantly waged in an effort to make and keep motorists hazard-conscious nd careful. If the record of accidents is really good, all things considered, isn't it probably due in a large part to the determined, vigorous safety campaign that has been go ing on for years? -; Sometimes, after a nartienlnrlv hinnHv sainj Sa(??s3rork?.r8 are incIine(i to discouragement and to the belief that their efforts are going for naught and might as well be abandoned. - But how much worse it would be were it not for the contmuous, many-sided effort to appeal to motorists to drive carefully. And, conversely, how much better the a j because of this great safety campaign. , And even when we make the unusual statement that people generally are doing a responsible job of operat eir j autorriobil es. as we conclude from this dis rfSS? today, let us give credit to the widespread safety SrHh rht,?rgranAZarE,ns 88 the citizens' traffic safety mmittee 1 Klamath Falls, the local junior chamber of . ,r'"' "IK "aunai saiety counci , the c ty and state "hilLL6 S?

CLASSIC An outstanding commerce de- partment economist, Ernest Tup per, now among the 30 attached to the commission, tried to get in to see an army colonel to leave some papers the other day. The colonel was out, but his sec retary suggested that Major X ranked high enough to receive them. The secretary called Ma' jor X and fumbled around in conversation to get Mr. Tupper to disclose his title. "What is your name, please?" e isne asxea. He spelled it. Finally in desperduon, she asked point blank: Major Tupper? patriotism that the argument should come all from one side, without a word from those who are not prejudiced against changes once in while as the era may demand.

In the first instance, we broke the world precedent of the divine right of kingly power.

The story has become one of the inner classics of the commis sion. BRITISH CHANCES British propaganda to keep up her domestic morale may have misled the American public re garding her chances. Top men here are worried about it, fear ing the American public mind has not been fully prepared for the shock of conquest or peace that may come. Trustworthy in ner advices suggest German plane production is more than double that of Britain today. The best authorities hate to vis ualize the prospect of a ruthless concerted attack Many an official in the White House and war department has privately expressed apprehen sion over the possible effect of Bntaini collapse upon the de fense program. That subject seems to worry Mr. Roosevelt and his defense cohorts more than anything else right now. They gravely fear the American public will lose interest and de cline to tighten ltsbelt if Britain fades and nazi propagandists continue disseminating their' ap- tablished vested right of the colonial land grants which ex tended from the Atlantic to the Mississippi, such as the Fairfax grant and lands known as the Western Reserve, which were ul timately broken up and subject to settlement by freemen who had fought for our independ ence. We broke another precedent when we set the negroes free and made this nation a national institution of united freemen dedicated to "liberty and union, now and forever, one and In separable." We broke another precedent when we passed the interstate commerce act. so that the ques tion of national transportation was brought out of chaos with some semblance of order under law and the rules of the game. We broke another when we decided to elect our senators by airect vote of the people, in stead of having them buy the seats from the privileged class How does it come that nothing is said about those senators who hold "the cushions down for ever a couple of times"? It might have been a good thing If our great George Wash ington served only one term and then we could have had our Thomas Jefferson that much the sooner. We could that much the sooner have realized that 11 government as we propose it must come from the consent want to be dictated to by Hitler, or Stalin, or Lewis, or Green or any of the "big ihots' connected GEORGE E.
