Detestable Practice A FEDERAL court jury in Medford this week startled the defendant and his counsel as well as everyone else in the courtroom by bringing in a not guilty verdict in the case of a Klamath Indian charged with stabbing to death a white logger. It had been generally felt that the government had a strong case, and at one time it appeared possible a plea of guilty to second degree mur der might be offered if acceptable to the court. Still, the jury spent only 50 minutes in deliberation and freed the defendant In casting about for an inkling of what went on in the minds of the jurors in this case, one is bound to suspect that they considered the status of the white victim of this stabbing at the time the knife was wielded. The fact that he had been in the home of an Indian, providing Indians with liquor in violation of the law, was certainly not a legitimate consideration for the jurors in determin- ine justification for a killing. But it is a well known ! fact that such considerations do frequently enter into jury deliberations. Reason a little along this line: the stabbing occurred because the Indians had been consuming intoxicating linuor; the liquor was provided for their use by the victim of the stabbing, in conscious violation of the laws of the United States; hence, the victim had a key part in de veloping the situation that cost his own life. The point we seek to make in mentioning this case is that white men who engage in the detestable practice of furnishing liquor to Indians not only jeopardize their freedom by violation of federal law, but they jeopardize their lives by creating a situation pregnant with possibil ities of violence. And, if we are to judge from the recent case at Medford, the chances are none too good that the courts will avenge their deaths if they happen to become the victims of that violence. This area is badly infested with whites who stoop to the low practice of providing Indians with liquor. There must be a continued and determined effort to stamp that sort of thing out of the community. WINTER SPORT 1 Answer to Prkrlous Pnolo lAR'l HORIZONTAL 1 Game played on ice.

Pastor's Problem AN interesting incident of the week was Rev. Victor Newman's appearance before the Kiwanis club Thursday. - The hard-headed business men in the club took a ter rific lambasting from the minister, applauding him round ly as he went after them tooth and toe-nail for violations of Sunday observance, failure to attend church and simi lar practices of these modern weekends. One member remarked, as the meeting broke up, that he would go to church more often if he could be assured the pastor would deliver that kind of a sermon. And the minister's reply was that he would like to have enough offenders in church to justify his doing so. For, he pointed out, there's no sense in giving the faithful the dickens for the shortcomings of those not on hand to listen. There you see the pastor's problem. When he does have opportunity to speak his mind, as he did Thursday, it s worth Hearing, and it s worth thinking about . Eight rangy Pelicans, we read on the sports page, have been selected as the first string for Klamath Union high schools basketball team. That means that the open ing of a long winter schedule of play is imminent. Here's a suggestion to folks who like sports: football isnt the only game that's interesting and entertaining. Basketball offers a thrilling exhibition of speed, endurance and skill. Let's give the high school basketeers the same sort of support the football team enjoys.

U. S.CIoses Door On Plans to Ship Food to Europeans LONDON, Thursday, Dec 13 j said Lord Woolton was referring CU.PJ Great Britain today firmly i te aUuaUon as of now. while warned the United States against . , . . . . , . ,. feeding the peoples of naz.on- he looking ahead to what it quered Europe because "it is ! might be a year hence If the their stomachs or our lives'' and j sinking of food ships continued American shipments of food-! stuffs will certainly prolong the war and suffering. The warning was issued by Minister of Shipping Ronald Cross, in a radio broadcast to the United States at 4 a. m. (8 p. m. Wednesday), as Britain mustered her forces against Germany's sea raiders. Their attacks have made Britain's food situation "just as grim" as in the bleak days of 1917. The radio warning to the United States followed an nouncement by the British gov ernment, through Ambassador Lord Lothian in Washington, that it bad rejected a plan spon sored by former President Her Dert Hoover to send food to the occupied nations oi turope. Women Called The government called for large numbers of airmen and naval officers to lead a strong new counter offensive against Germany's sea raiders which are sinking British shipping at i furious rate. A call was issued for thou sands of British women to go in to the fields and produce foodstuffs. Ministerof Food Robert Hud son admitted that Britain's own food shortage is "Just as grim" now as it was In the spring of 1917 when Germany world war U-boat offensive was running wild. On the other hand. Lord Wool- ton, food minister, was under stood to have told some mem bers of Parliament at a private meeting that there was no likeli hood of Britain having to resort to synthetic foods. Stocks of wheat and other essentials were said by Lord Woolton to be "satisfactory." it was reported, while the supply of coffee was estimated to be ample for two years and no at anything like rate. the present WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (UP) The United States today closed the door on proposals sponsored by former President Herbert Hoover and others for feeding the peoples of German-conquered areas In Europe. Following closely the British governments formal rejection of the Hoover and similar plans. Secretaryo of State Cordell Hull suggested persons and organiza tions interested in sending relief supplies to German-occupied nations might ask Germany to contribute to the cause. . No Intention Germany, he indicated, might be called upon to contribute part of its much publicized food re serves and clothing to war vic tims. Hull left little doubt the ad ministration has no intention of asking the British to modify their blockade so supplies can be sent into German - dominated countries. Hull underscored this when he suggested the feeding and clothing by Germany of the war-ridden civilians would be in accordance with custom when one nation has conquered another. Later, British Minister of Shipping Ronald Cross warned in a broadcast solution of the problem Is up to Germany, and not the United States. further milk rationing was in There are approximately 25.-1 prospect. 334,000 milk cows in the United In explaining the apparent States. j discrepancy of views, Hudson y GIVE t. - 4 f IU.M toll S10.00 )tt J k tin Sow s.oo f C I lM SM UO J J ; 4 KkMlk TkMtnt Ik.

No trustworthy information is available In offi cial quarters concerning Internal conditions in the third reich. The official supposition, unofficially expressed, is that sabotage and unrest among worker groups In spired the patriotic appeal. But it was not clear whether the condition existed in Germany or the occupied areas or both. Pos sibly, he also wanted to offset the current international circu lation of an old speech by his agriculture minister, predicting virtual enslavement of the work ers of the world by German conquests. The pronouncement represent ed a baffling change of tune, nevertheless. Up to now his Nordics have been a race of supermen whoso physical and mental superiority entitled them to supremacy. This theme song has been fatal to expansion of the nazi movement outside the exclusive German-Nordic circle. Now he Is apparently indulging himself in a change of front as drastic as his alliance with com-1 munism by trying to play big! brother to the workers of the1 world. SERIOUS THREAT His promise to subdue Eng land when he gets around to it, was less mystifying. Herr Goeb bels furnished supplemental light by announcing simultan eously that the Germans intend ed to "go around" the British Maginot line, which is the Eng lish channel. You can find the answer to that one in the published speech of Lord Lothian in Baltimore. He disclosed the British have! information that the new drive is to be an encircling submarine airplane campaign to cut Eng lish sea lanes from Spain around to Norway. This threat is very serious. One official here describes it as ten times more serious than the bombing devastation in Britain which is attracting public at tention. k k k LABOR PROBE A house leader tells me concessional investieation nf labor racketeerlne is cominff.

Assistant Attor ney General Thurman Arnold expressed an Idea which Is cer tainly new in the new deal, when he argued beforo the su preme court that unions have depressed their own annual waKcs and prevented low cost housing In Cleveland, Chicago, and other cities, by high wage demands and denying the util ization of prefabricated male rials. 'The dues some unions charge because no new unions can arise are fantastic," he said. Questions asked him by the now pro-new deal court suggest ed he is not likely to win his case. NEW TUNE One of the outstanding ad vanced economic thinkers of the new deal group is simultaneous ly astounding his frlcnda by say ing this is "No time to worry about prices it is about time some one made some money." But the most striking re declaration was Mr. Koosevelt's. In his message to the Economic club he inferentially suggested the administration further relax its old emphasis on group causes in favor of a program of group unification, tie sulci the present prime need was for secure In dividual freedom; tho way to at tain It li by joint group and gov. ,k eminent cooperation to provide!
