Modoo and SUMros CounUaa - . a. oo Stop Here and Avoid Danger OUR accident statistics expert, News Editor Art Bremer, has just handed us an analysis of this year's fatal crashes that tells a startling story. His report: Klamath county's traffic death toll today stands .at 18, three more than the figure on the same date last year when an all-time record of 29 was chalk ed up. Disregarding the five who drowned when their ear Tjlurnred into the canal here April SO and the two pedestrians killed on. South Sixth street and the man killed In a railroad crossing crash, there remain 10 persons who were killed in actual auto mobile accidents. And here's the point r Of these 10 highway crash victims, only two were Klamath people. And at least six of the other eight deaths followed long drives. Maurice Cannalonga and a companion became No. 9 and 10 on our 1941 list and an occu pant of the other car became No. 11 in a crash at Barclay springs following an all night trip from . San Francisco. Three remarkably similar accidents within a few miles of each other near Sand Creek in the space of less than two weeks took the three other lives. No. 15 was a San Francisco girl whose husband was asleep in the back seat when the car upset on a trip to Ellensburg, Wash. No. 16 was an elderly Olympia man whose pickup truck upset t while a hitchhiker companion was asleep. No. 17 was a Hollywood girl whose companion was asleep on a long drive to Pendleton. In these three cases, the sleeping companion was only slightly injured. From this analysis, it becomes evident that Klamath's fine highways are encouraging coast-wise travelers to attempt "non-stop" trips from the northwest to Cali fornia points, or vice versa, despite the warnings of medi cal men that three hours' continuous driving is the limit for safe traveling. Klamath county Is roughly the mid-point in the San Francisco-Portland journey. Klamath -Falls and the near by communities in this area have excellent accommoda tions for travelers. This is a hospitable area and we in vite these Beocle not onlv to use the fine rnntV t-hrniiffh here, but to put up for the night in one of our good hotels WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct 13 "Sudden" is tho word (or SPAB. Cracking down on non war construction was clearly In the cards. It was the object of a major division of the 1918 war industries board which planned its work along In advance with ample notico of its intentions. The creation of such a unit and the beginning of such an ef fort has been long suggested by Mr. B, M. Baruch and others to our present war industries ad ministration but, through months of indifference, there was no ac tion or even any intimation of action. Then, suddenly and without warning, the whole civilian building trades industry Is given a sentence of economic death. It seems to be becoming a habit. It is just like the old administra tion overnight decree to cut down 10 per cent on gasoline. HOUSING BIOS "Arbitrary' is also the word for SPAB. There are few par allels of Mr. Sydney Hillman's action in compelling the rejec tion ol a bid for defense housing of $979,000 and acceptance of a bin 44 per cent higher. WhyT So far as is known only because iMr. Hillman wanted a contractor who uses A. F. of L. labor instead of one (such as this low bidder) who uses CIO labor. Another angle was that A. F. of L. objected to this contractor because his houses are, in part, fabricated on modern mass-pro- auction methods. On this latter question the wnoie world of students of our housing problem has been wait' ing for the sunrise the dav when modern American meth ods could be used to produce a aecent nouse at a price low enough for a poor man to pay, Here it came at last and Mr. Hillman slammed the door in its lace. To hell with the cost to the government and the pros pective poor tenants, presumably or likely to be labor union peo ple memseives. Mr. Hillman was Dlavine some kind of union politics which, a cryptic remark of John Carmody suggests, was in part due to a possibility of widespread strikes Dy a. F. of L. in other parts of the country against the defense nousing effort. I rV- jawH-t -at. B f I . . VI K.I T 1 7V " I I I BV ,1 ,af77a . II II If llr II I III M 1 iM A"la -V .TTlaV .

He is the head of one of the most powerful labor unions in inis country, from which he even now draws pay and is a leader of one wing of the CIO itself. That's all right. He is one of the ablest, shrewdest intelligent of labor leaders. But the head of such a union anri a leading spirit in such a feder ation Of unions has no bunineaa in charge of labor policy in the United States. That Job is a seat of Judgment. Four conflicting uueresis are constantly involved that of government, that of the civilian population, that of labor and that of management. Mr Hillman can't be an imnartinl Judge. He is dealing with himself. A READER DOUBTS MALIN, Ore. (To the Editor) v ith all I read and hear, every' thing seems so one-sided that it seems difficult to get a clear picture of the policies of our government. For instance, the last presi dential election no one knew or heard of Will.Ie until he was nominated. How could the peo ple nave had a hand. His pol icy was tne same but more pronounced than Roosevelt's, so wnere was the choice? The newspapers advertise their truthfulness. They sure are. but neglect, it seems to me to tell it all. Maybe I've Just missed it somehow, but are British, German and Amer ican armament firms still se cretly linked together? Are armament firms still selling to both sides? If we accept a policy, it seems we should go "whole hog or none." "So manv American soldiers killed" doesn't sound so bad. especially! u xne otner side loses more. but for strikes. How much money could tho boss make without tho workers and vice versa? Seems to me at least wages could be settled by a bonus in proportion to profit ' increases and number of workers involv ed; Jurisdictional strikes settled by majority vote. Would like to know more.

NOT POLITICAL As has freauentlv been nnint. ed out here and as is becoming more apparent daily the unplan- jiea priorities effort has been botched and bungled and mm. plaints of sufferers throughout the country are risine like a tide. How lone can this kind of rnn. fusion, high-handed fumbling, ueaaiy terror ana smirking hy pocrisy go on in this democracy without somebody being called to account by the people through their congress? I don't know, but cincn n can't go on for ever. It is not a political question at all. It is not a question of aiding or blocking our war effort. It is a question of getting some efficiency into that effort and it Is not political, because every patriotic citizen is for that. The known facts are so few and so closely guarded as "mill- boy it makes a heck of a lot of difference, Then again they are trylnn to get Russia to promise relig ious freedom and promise not to propagandize communism America. I believe in religious freedom and not In communism, but I really don't know much about it. It seems to me In this free country we should think as we please and a little competition would keep democracy on its toes proving It was better. "You can't fool all the people all the time, so why fear commun ism? And I know there must be many doubters who were told there was no money, nothing to work at during the depres sion; who were told no one was starving, when their own stomachs told them different: who are now somewhat cyni cal to see the money pour forth in defense; who didn t need to wait till now to be told they were undernourished.
