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

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.

WTH the Salvation 1 Army opening its annual cam
paign for funds to carry on, a number of people the

"Just what does the Salvation Army do?" The army's

tenance of its regular program, and $2300 is for building
auu equipment, me tatter Demg a special item in the

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

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

by majority vote.
Would like to know more.
