V Weekend Roundup
THE current series of articles appearing in tins newspaper,
i showing how Klamath's industrial activities have been
tuned to the war effort, prove that we do have important
war industries here, large and small, and that they are
doinjr their part effectively.
Here we are building grain bins to help meet a serious
grain storage problem of countrywide scope. Here we are
making thousands of screens for pre-fabricated houses at
an ordinance depot in Utah. Here we are turning out mil
lions of feet of lumber for war uses. Here we have in the
siskin" one of the basin's finest crops, to go into "food for
fighting." Here we have machine shops working on navy
contracts and other war jobs. Here we have a big trans
portation lay-out doing its part to keep the materials of
war moving. "'
Men and women of the Klamath country engaged in
these activities, must find gratification in the knowledge
that they are playing an important part in the war pro
gram, that whatever they do to promote efficient produc
tion, industrial tranquillity, and cooperative endeavor, is
a real contribution, regardless of whether it is acclaimed
in public' speeches, or the public press.,
Likewise, those who supply goods or render services to
these busy people, are doing a job that is essential.
We know1 here that while there are no military instal
lations in'the community, we are not sitting off to .the side,
getting along on our own without participation in a big
war effort going on elsewhere. We are in this thing in a
way that counts. "
'"' ' . '.
At the same time,, we who live and work here are en
joying certain comparative advantages over those who
have crowded into the big centers.
The other day, 'this newspaper carried a story telling
of the difficult housing conditions existing in those coastal
centers. Nothing-Jf the kind confronts us here, a place
where there is plenty of room to live and move about,
where life is a fairly normal affair, where schools are not
crowded and goods and services are still easily available
to all. :,. -
Those who live, here in this war period are enjoying a
pretty favorable combination of circumstances. -
Streamlined to meet Wartime conditions, the. Klamath
county junior livestock show will be held Monday. This
is the 1942 edition of the fall shows of past years that
have been featured by the exciting auction sale and the
high prices for prime stock grown by juniors of the Klam
ath basin. -
Important differences this year will be the' elimination
of the auction, judging of cattle on a group basis, and limit
ing the-show-to-a-single day. -
Instead of the open auction, sealed bids are being
taken on the championship stock. Champion groups of
four or five individual animals will be chosen in the steer,
hog .and lamb divisions. All of .the stock, it is expected,
will be sold somewhat above market prices, with the com
petitive bidding applying to the champion groups.
While there will be no auction to draw the crowds, we
suggest to local people that they make it a point to visit
the, junior livestock show Monday, to see the fine stock
grown by the youngsters of this basin. The affair will be
held at the county fairgrounds.

Work, fight or go to jail is the warning which Acting
Police Chief Earl Heuvel has issued to shiftless transients
and habitual . "vags" in this vicinity.. But jail is a little
too easy. Something should be done to get the regular
inhabitants of the city and county jails into the productive
column.
The day has passed, too, for handouts to moochers of
all sorts.

News

By RUL rlALLON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 82 It
may have sounded a tittle
strange when Production Direc
tor Donald Nelson returned
from his vacation, announcing
he was going to get tough about
inefficiencies in hi orsnntrii-
tion and then
.singled out for
firing first an
employe who
had t o I d the
n e w s p a p ers
about the defi
ciencies in
1 ti M To n outsid-
IJit er it may have
, i 1' ! aaf -rrmrrl remark-
Paul Mallon able that Mr.
Nelson started improving his
organization by canning an em
ploye who told the public one
thing wrong with it. But that
was not exactly the situation.
The overall truth is the war
production board has been load
ed with a motley assortment of
soma legitimate businessmen,
some business hangers-on, or
what you iiilgiti call "marginal
businessmen" (those unsuccess
ful men from commercial life
who have made a career out of
government service for the last
few years), and a formidable
array of new deal social re
formers, as well as expert,
clear-headed, capable econo
mists and officers from other
government departments.
The variety of interests rep
resented by these conflicting
groups has inspired constant in
ternal turmoil.
One of the favorite triclts of
these marginal businessmen, or
reformers, is to concoct a per
sonal report setting forth his
own views as to what is wrong,
and then to leak same to the
newspapers as a conclusion of
the war production board, or at
least matte: under study
there, , ;. , : ,
This had to be stopped first,
and Mr. Nelson's choice of a
victim was apparently a con
structive effort to breakup
that practice, whethor or not it
was properly applied in that'
case. -
Next step will be to cleanse
the house of the marginal busi
nessmen and reformers, and put
the selection of personnel there
on a non-political efficiency-
rating basis.
Some of them may be taken
into the army and navy. WPB
rolls contain an exceptionally
large number of single men
without dependents, and mar
ried men with rich or working
wives, and they are in the aga
bracket of the lower thirties
which makes them suitable for
practical military effort.
.
AGREEMENT
Mr. Nelson is being criticized
by the new deal element, in and
out of his organization, tor not
straightening out his relations
with the army and nuvy witli
a clear-cut agreement as to au
thority. Actually he entered such an
agreement In writing last March
12. The memo then adopted by
him and army and navy au
thorities was not made public
at that lime, but he apparently
told the Truman investigating
committee about it.
llndor this aureemcnt memo,
he gave the armed services four
powers:
(1) Direct authority to work
out production schedules:
; (2) Authority to re-negotiate
contracts;
(3) Power over plant con
struction. And (i direction oi purchasing
procedure.
This left his WPB with con
trol over, allocating materials
between military and non-military
users, but gave most other
responsibility for fulfillment of
the program to the army and
navy.
If the argument now expands
over who is to be the "goat"
for any failure to meet produc
tion schedules, this overlooked
memo is likely; to play an im
portant part.
'oi
itial steps already being taken
as well as the popular com
ment aro veering away from
that dangerous, delaying and
possibly disastrous trend of
goat finding, and toward a real
istic solution of the actual prob
lem which Is to locate the
raw materials and get them to
the right places.
AID FOR THE REDS
The Churchill-Stalin conver
sations were no doubt concerned
primarily with the problem o
British and American supplies
for Timoshenko's Caucasus army
now retreating Into the moun
tains. While the problem of the sec
ond front is lively in public
discussions and in morale-building
propaganda . efforts, it is
purely a military one not to be
decided by Churchill and Stalin.
' But what Churchill could
well have' gone to Moscow to
talk about is how he and the
Americans might be able to
sustain Timoshenko through the
winter if he will hold the top
of the Caucasus.
There he would be cut off
from Russia proper, but acces
sible to the British and to us
via the Iran rail line from the
Persian gulf and by plane from
Egypt. We could send not only
rfnaterials, but troops.
