By PaulMallon mm mm Pot Holes to Go 'A T' long Tast a contract is about to be let for recon- r struction of the "pot hole ' highway Detween luieiaice and Canby, on Klamath's "road to Reno." The cost will fee-in excess of $330,000, to be spent by the federal gov ernment in bringing the road up to standards acceptable fc the California highway department. The state will tfiamtain the completed road. This road has grown steadily in importance in recent years Jt not only connects Tulelake with the Modoc bounty- seat, but it functions as a part of an increasingly used direct route from the North Pacific coast to Los Angeles, via Klamath Falls and Reno, j-s" Twice in the last two weeks, drivers who came to Klamath Falls from the east have reported they found . their -toughest and roughest road between Canby and KJanTfotlv Falls. Since its construction-a number ot years Sorthis road has badly broken up, and it has been a fprVof orphan insofar as maintenance is concerned. But .all tjhat will jsoon be ended, and this vital south connection nwj1I.-take its-place among. the. good roads ot this region. i-r-.-This -will be - helpful in 'efforts to promote travel through here-to Rena .and Los Angeles. . Many people have already discovered this as the-best and most direct route,, but a lot of people are not yet aware that Reno zb-i.L-i-t . i i y- a 1- j vi.n.ii, T?olio i;o . .ttiuaij WVBb UI XAia -AllgciEa ailu Ajaiuaiu x-alio iiito Cftj Almost, ff straight line between ortiana ana tne L-aJi-jtornja, metropolis." ;,;.'.". - I. - .:. . 1 ?.. :' ' .

But they are not general news papers, arid do not have the responsibilities of a general newspaper. - . ; VTASHINGTON. Aug. 7 The slightest move of every American warship Is a deep mili tary secret except when they arrive in Australia. The only violations of the navy department order against pub lishing American ship move ments have been perpetrated by the department itself, first last March when some cruisers stop ped off at Australia, then a sec ond time just the other day when two more cruisers arrived at the same spot. Official announce ments were handed out in both instances, just so the Japanese papers would be sure to get the information. It is clear Mr. Roosevelt Is working on the Japs a coy strat egy they will recognize more easily than Americans, because it comes from their own history. One of their famous battles was the conquest of Mukden in the Russo-Japanese war. Their General Ohyama, in charge of operations, worked out a skillful maneuver in utmost detail. It was based on extending the thin Russian lines out to the breaking point (like Grant earlier at Petersburg). But when the day of the battle dawned, General Ohyama called, not for his sword, but his fishing pole. He spent the day angling in a nearby stream. Such a display instilled his army with the confidence i that helped them win. j Mr. Roosevelt must have heard j of, the story before he set sail from New London last Sunday. leaving his plan of pressure di plomacy behind. a CHANGE The Roosevelt-Henderson price control plan is going to go through the wringer in con gress. The screws have ieen ad justed for it. When: the plan comes out you will not recognize it -as Mr. Roosevelt-Henderson's baby. In fact It will be triplets, possibly quintuplets. A proposal will be made by such lofty congressional authori ties as practically to guarantee enactment, requiring one-man control (Henderson's) to be drop ped in favor of board direction by three, or five members. It will be the duty of this board to work out policy atop Mr. Hen derson's present Opax organiza tion. Whether the change will be worded so that Mr. Hender son can be a member or chair man of the board, or whether he will have the board super imposed upon him in his present position, is yet to be decided. No less a congressional person age than Senator Carter Glass, who is handling the legislation in the senate, has long favored a board. The idea has gained equal ly imposing support on the house side. i a a a IMPOSSIBLE 1 Some London talk about organizing an expedition of 80 divisions (730,000 men) to lnvado the continent has seeped over here, and apparently reached the ears of non-interventionist sena tors. The British say American men would be required to fill out the force. This is supposed to be what Senator Wheeler has been hinting against. Any such help this year is be yond the realm of factual con sideration. Assuming that the U. S. navy could guarantee safe conduct (and planes for safe landing) to an expeditionary force requires a stretch of the imagination in view of the lim ited number of ships available in the Atlantic. But assume that it could, then what American di visions are well enough equipped and trained to be sent anywhere today? The landing obligation would I have to fall on the marines, and they do not yet have enough ready to dispatch anything more than a token group. In short the idea is impossible of fulfillment Wallace's Idea. All who have heard him expound, know he considers domestic economic counciling to be as necessary as the International kind. Wallace primarily wants curbs on domes tic buying power (along lines Henderson outlined to the sen ate committee this week.) r'lrsl results ot their efforts may show hi revisions made' upon the house tax bill by the senate finance committee, Broadening of the Income tax baso and more consumers taxes are what they want.

(To theditori Although cynics and-pessimists smear and ' at lack '-fhe -4abor . movement, or ganization of workers is -still proVmg to- be the correct answer to industrial autocracy. Admitted, .that labor unions are not. perfect, '"admitted--that in . isolated, cases there are "Pee" Wee? Hitlers in the labor move ment. Good unions are built by good .rank' "and file member ship. A- - "Ptie Wee" - Hitler could riot survive among mill-wortters-.of. the Klamath .Basin. Precedent has already. been set on ..that issue. The constitution of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers A. F. of L. is such that all activities .must he , approved by the membership. Some contend that too great an economic weapon has been plac ed in the hands of unions as a result of. the Wagner "Act. .A thorough analysis would, have to be rqafleiby someone who un--derstandsvtlie. Employees' prob lems and J management's prob lems and the methods" by which ' these problems have been solved before any -'authoritative state ment could be made eonremlns IWreletive falmess of -the -use of the efrtjee weapqa.a.nd;on the ether side.the weapon of hun ger. One has the political free dom to accept or reject a Job, but how do men -with families have tne " economic freedom? Men work -whenever they 'can find a job because they :have to eat. . In. depression years. I, saw men bow in disgusting, grati tude for the privilege of a job under any condition and- for al most any wage. God couldn't have intended for any person to have such a terrible weapon of control over his- fellow '.man. Now!. the shout; goes up that labor1 has. .too great a weapon over capital. Pardon me while I sneere Orris. - - - It is hoped that relations be tween management and labor will reach a higher plane' than now exists. Management should seriously consider emplyee prob lems- and likewise employee's should dpnsider the problems of the management. Negotiations should be on a basis of equality. Many strikes have been caused by. -indifferent managers who were always too busy to meet with employee .committees to discuss employee requests and problems. I have yet to see em ployees fail to appear to discuss ana - nelp solve management problems. "Many hours have been donated by men in the Klam ath Basin to promote the use of wooden boxes. They were ready and anxious to be a partner to the company in this effort. The sale of wooden boxes could be promoted extensively through! the many branchp nf A V nt I L. unions. and no doubt will in the near future. Mr. Orris McCartney's charges against labor unions in my opinion are not tactual, as in the paper we read that a strike here and there is holding up proaucuon. uver the radio we hear that strikes and impending sirmes are crippling the national defense, as in the nantrs and over the radio npw. i mil nt in sucn a manner that we are led to believe that labor unions alone are to blame for the pre sent turmoil and unrest in indus try. Not once have I heard any news commentators or read any newspaper report that said "work held up on defense pro-j jects Because employer refused to: pay fair wages" or "defense industry crippled by industrial autocracy" and I doubt that I ever will hear it worded in any manner reflecting on manage ment. - A plea to high school students and women of the basin sup port our unions respect picket lines.. Students graduating im mediately go to work and so it is your interest as well as those of us who are already working to maintain high wages and good working conditions. Unions such as the culinary alliance should be supported vigorously by the women of the commun ity for under union setups girls are not required to cater to the boss for the privilege of working as has been rumored in many j cases. Unionism is insurance i againts abuses of all kinds. I S. FRED TUCKER. SATURDAY and SUNDAY ONLY JEAN ARTHUR IN "The Devil and Miss Jones" and ?
