Military Road Matters CONTROVERSY developed at the recent meeting in Portland called to promote the improvement of the Pacific highway as a military roadway in connection with the current government military highway program. Seattle people at the meeting favored action of a gen' eral nature, calling for improvement of "the most prac ticable" north and south highway route, following strategic recommendations of the army and navy. They contended that the specific mention of U. S. 99, the Pacific highway, in a resolution, would lose the support of congressional representatives east of the Cascades in Washington. The discussion, according to press reports, waxed warm but a compromise was finally worked out whereby two resolutions were adopted, one of a general nature and one "approving and supporting the selection of the war department and the public roads administration of highway 99 as of first importance in the military program." It will be interesting to note tne extent to wnicn po litical pressure and regional interest can influence the aelection of highways for improvement for military pur poses. One would suppose that the only real considera tion would be strategic, and that decisions would be made on a hard-boiled basis wholly unaffected by urgings of a local nature and "civic" activity. However, no community dare take a chance on losing benefits that may come to those who do the "hollering." Klamath Falla is interested, of course, in seeing The Dalles - California highway and The Dalles - Calif ornia -Willamette highway connections given their just dues in the military highway program. The least we can do is to ask our congressman, who occupies a position similar to those "east of the Cascades congressman" bothering the Seattle people, to see to it that due consideration is given these routes ana to jeave no stone unturned, msoiar as his opportunities for service are concerned, to bring them recognition as or prime importance on tne military highway, program. Greetings THE HERALD AND NEWS take this occasion to extend New Year's greetings to their family of readers in Klamath Falls and the great Midland Empire, our greet ings, too, to those distant mail subscribers, mostly people who formerly lived in this area and keep in touch with what goes on in their former home through the columns of these newspapers. We warmly appreciate the support and friendly in terest of our subscribers and our advertisers. We pledge a constant striving to do our job well, to improve our papers and to increase our service to the big commun ity these papers "cover." To this end, constructive sug gestions are always acceptable, as are the "news tips" which flow into this office steadily from friends and readers. News Behi mm SIDE GLANCES TUB By PaulMallon WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 That dire outline of 1041 events to come, furnished by Mr. Roose velt in his radio address to the world, was the most difficult speech he has ever prepared. The president started out the New Year a few days ahead of time by resolving to write all the speech himself. Contributions were made to him by State Sec retary Hull and some others In the state department. The na tional defense commission con tributed recommendations for the defense part of it. But the president spent more than two entire days working up the final composite draft in carefully se lected language. The old brain trust advisers who gave freely to presidential addresses in the past are not around any more. In matters of such international significance their backgrounds would be of little assistance. As a result this fireside chat superimposed a wholly new picture upon the old ghosting era. j C0F av at anmci. at T.a ato. o. a w. oar. l-l "I remember when we helped to mnkc n litter like this instead of linving to clean it up. rule is that ambassadors must submit their remarks.

Forrest Cooper Elected Alumni Vice President EUGENE, Jan. I (IP) Hol lis N. Johnston, Portland archi tect, today was president of the University of Oregon Alumni association following the tabu lation of mall ballots here. A member of the class of 1921, he had served the past year as vice president. Forrest E. Cooper, Lakeview attorney, was named vice presi dent. He has been Lake County Alumni director during the past year and was national president of the 20-30 Cubs in 1933. He received his doctor of juris prudence degree from the uni versity in 1928, the year follow. Ing his graduation. BALDWIN EYED The light of Connecticut's Ex Governor Baldwin will shortly emerge from under Sam Pryor's bushel basket as a prospect for the chairmanship of the repub-. lican national committee. Mr. Pryor, the eastern man-; ager of the last campaign, has been active in party circles in 1 Baldwin's behalf, and the ac-i quiescence of his Connecticut : colleague is believed to have 1 been secured. These workings have bestirred already some opposition among party leaders in the west and lar west. The farm belt men j letter of Dec. wuu crtr lar more successful than the eastern leaders in the Willkie campaign arc casting about for a candidate of their own. Few names are being men tioned, but that of Harrison Spangler of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is one. He always has been friendly to the Hoover wing of the party and has been a work ing headquarters influence in some past national presidential campaigns. It appears. the restless search for a party manager is heading up into a sharp inside struggle! Apparently the Dewey, Vandcn berg and Taft forces have not joined in it yet.

I hold no brief for Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, or Hirohito, but if the democracy wo preach about is so good, we ought to practice it. The countries repre sented by the above are a part of the world, in a different hemi sphere, yet in 1823 we told, by the "Monroe Doctrine" that for eign nations must keep out of our hemisphere and likewise we would not meddle outside in theirs. Yet in 1917 we allowed our emotions and ideals to at tempt to establish justice in Eu rope, and as a result conditions in Europe haven't been so bad for a hundred years. And we got our fingers so badly burnt we REPLY TO TUCKER ALGOMA. Ore., (To the Edi tor) I reply to Mr. Tucker, not because 1 give a tinker's damn what he thinks of me, but be cause I owe an explanation to my friends throughout the county of my actual participation in the strike of 1933. I did not blow whistles and I did not act as a rabble rouser to try to pull my fellow workers out on a "quick car that aluminum was badly needed in the light against op pression and slavery?

NO VACANCY An inquisitive newsman asked a White House spokesman who is to be the new ambassador to Britain. . The questioner was surprised when the spokesman replied he did not think the president was worried about the job because it was not vacant. Mr. Kennedy in resigning, ap parently, agreed to go back to London for a short time if an emergency situation arose in which he was needed. This delicate technicality in spired immediate speculation in view of the harsh things which administration hecklers have been saying about the supposed ly ex-ambassador, who was ex pected to appear before congress and the people with his version of British needs and prospects, probably differing from that of Mr. Roosevelt. "Then will Mr. Kennedy's speeches hereafter have to be submitted to the state depart ment for approval?" asked the newsman. "He's still our ambassador," observed the spokesman although no one could observe if, or how deeply, he was chuckling. The state department went further In interpreting this gold braided noose that had been deftly dropped around Mr. Ken nedy's neck, possibly to render him inarticulate. It was said there Kennedy is an ambassador on leave without pay, and the own business and getting squared up from the last time we played Uncle Sappy. Mr. Carnahan. seems to be afraid Hitler and Mussolini are going to come over and settle a score after they lick John Bull. France seems to be about as badly licked as any nation could be, yet she retains her navy. I think by the time Italy settles the score with J. B. in Libya and with Greece in Albania, she will be ready to tend to her own business. Likewise, Adolf hasn't been able to cross the channel yet and after he tries it he won't be coming across the Atlantic to settle something. We certainly should, by all means, be thinking, working and helping those who served in the last war. Now let's stop and think just a minute. In the ten years, 1930 to 1940, we have doubled the na tional debt, raised it from 221 billion dollars to over 45 billion dollars with the government ob ligating itself for 12 to 15 billion dollars additional. Taxes are double what they were to start with and they only pay half of the bill. , We have a defense program that will take at least 20 billion dollars In the next four years. And so we are steadily back ing Into a war, and if we get as much out of it as the last one, it tried to get them to delay the strike until we were better pre pared. I can prove these state ments, which Is more than Tuck er can do about those he made. When my fellow workers struck, I walked out too, and when the AFL, having taken our cash, (about $2500. according to them) lost Interest in us and threw us down, I, with others, urged a continuance of the strike until we got a raise, 1 fought then, and I still fight for a fair and reasonable return for laboring men, and being a la borer, I'm interested in tho bet terment of my kind; but I will not fight for nor uphold the gangsterism, the disregard for personal liberty or rights, tho filching of the working mans pocketbook, or the selfish disre gard for national safety that ex ists in unionism today. I want this mess cleaned up so I won't be ashamed to wear a union but ton. ' Mr. Tucker, relative to coer slon employed by AFL organ izers, are you Just plain Ignor ant? Your big shot friend, AFL organizer, tried to co-erce me, by flattery and intimidation, and I m not the only one by a long shot. Even your wife said she joined tho culinary alliance be cause she "had to." Why are you so "hot up" about the AFL? Well, if I were like you and be lieved in reporting rumors and hearsay, I might throw some light on the matter. Why beg the question, any way? We were pleading for co operation in our national de fense, which is the most Import ant issue In our country today. What are the unions doing to cooperate in our national defense program? They say you shall pay your initiation fee, even in defense projects. Man's right to work, even in defense of his country and his home, is taken from him by the unions. Worse than that, recently In an aluminum plant, where the wages amounted to $44,000 per day, a strike was called because one man refused to pay tribute to labor racketeers.
