Califomians, like people elsewhere, refuse to pay much attention to politics in this war year, Estimates are that out of the 3,751,290 registered voters In the state, not more than 1,500,000 will go to the polls, and it may drop well below that. Major attention has centered on the governorship this year marking the end of the first term of Culbert L, Olson, California's democratic governor. Olson wants reelection, of course, and the politically astute attorney is running lor the democratic publican, has crossfilcd on You can do that in California. The fellows down there who are usually smart on mary is just a pre-show that Olson will win the demo cratic nomination, warren the republican nomination, and the big battle between thtese two powerful political figures will be at the general election in November. There are some other governorship candidates, but .they are generally classed as also-rans.

W. Lee O'Daniel appeared to be assured of renomination today by the slimmest margin 01 nis whirlwind political career. Former Gov. James V. Allred, who polled only 32 per cent of ine votes in the three-man race In the first democratic primary gainst O'Daniel's 48 per cent, made an ama2ing pick-up in the run-off Saturday and for a time appeared to have given the 43' year-old ex-flour salesman his first political setback. But as the late-reporting rural returns Degan trickling in, O'Daniel picked up and with most of the estimated 900,000 votes tabulated at noon toddy, he led Allred, who resigned a fed eral judgeship to make the cam paign 439,308 to 428.977. The Texas election bureau said this margin was sufficient to assure ODaniel's renomina tion, which in Texas is equiva lent to election.

News B RmilMallon WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 CIO members of the war production board labor advis ory committee have publicly called on Mr. Nelson to fire his dollar-a-year men from the business world In his house- cleaning. They said these bust- newi - men hud not performed efficiently their Jobs ot han dling raw ma terials. If this CIO- recomme n d e d J basis for the housecleaninr is P! Msllea sdot i d. Mr. Nelson will also have to fire the men who made it. the whole labor advisory commit tee. Al ls as well as CIO. They have not performed their lobs efficiently either. The latest report from the bureau of labor statistics. A strictly new deal, pro-labor branch of Miss Perkins' labor department, says there were 350 strikes in June and 275 In May, the months when our war production was supposed to hit its stride. These 350 ' strikes in June compare unfavorably with an average of .290 strikes, in that niomn during the peacetime period of 1935-39. In short, there were 60 more strikes this war-time June than the aver age June before the European war broke out. Other war labor board fig- ures show 198 new defense In dustry strikes In July, com pared, with 171 in June, al though fewer men were in volved in July. Thus it may be seen that the labor boys, who are telling their boss, Mr. Nelson (he is their boss in name at least), to lire business men for failure, have similarly failed to keep labor's contribution to the war effort at the required efficiency. READY TO GET TOUGH The labor boys probably heard the inside news going around town that the Truman committee has been preparing report calling on Mr. Nelson to fire incompetents, particu larly his dollar-a-year men and that Mr. Nelson will not be angry when this report comes out It will put a little more iron in his fist for getting tough, as he promised. But you can see. from the CIO - recommendations, -and from the established aversion of the Truman committee for dollar-a-year men, how the pres sure for a particular kind of housecleanlng, and not a gen eral house cleaning on a basis of efficiency, is shaping up. As pointed out yesterday. there are four classes of offi cials there, real business men, ousiness nangers-on or - mar ginal business men who have made a career of the new deal left-wing performers who early saw the WPB as the proper agency in which to infiltrate so they could produce their so cial doctrines at the same time as. war materials, and the real, earnest government economists and . officials who think win ning the war is the only social problem now. If firings are going to be made on the basis of efficiency in groups, Mr. Nelson will rid himself, not only of the incom petent dollar-a-year men, but the incompetent reform ele ments as well. Names are not necessary. He knows them. They Include not only the labor leaders, who have failed to prevent strikes, but the professional theorists. who have identified themselves with particular radical social doctrines of an extreme nature. Men are not efficient by r o u p s, however. Efficiency generally is an Individual mat ter. It is not true to say all dollar-a-year men are incompe tent, ali reformers or labor leaders efficient. , Efficiency, as the CIO has said, should be the only cri terion applied by Mr. Nelson or the Truman committee, but it must be applied impart allv. without regard for group pres sure. GOOD CASE Mr. Nelson seems to have fairly well worked himself out of the Initial move here to make him personally the only one responsible for disappoint ments in our production. But he can make out an even better case for himself If he will get tough. He could say there was no time in the 1 a s t ' six months when the army and navy could ship as much material as he produced. He could say the army In Its own M-day report, which was the original plan for this war, SIDE GLANCES eorn. twy tv ntA mwict. inc. t. hwui "Don't forget your packages, folks I don't know where you people would be if it wasn't for me telling you everything!" called for civilian control production as essential. He could say the public eye has been so centered on army and navy production by the government that the question of sustaining consumer business and civilian business has not been properly attended to, and that Germany's collapse in this respect caused it to lose the last war, according to Luden- dorff. He could say he did not even know about the radio broad cast a week ago Sunday when numerous other government of ficials told the world first about the crisis in production which would cause us to fall short of Mr. Roosevelt's goal. The only question about Mr. Nelson is whether he is capable personally now of correcting the defects that have been dis covered,' or whether someone else might do it better, get tougher, cut cleaner and deep er. Mr. Nelson at least has the advantage of experience. Any new man coming in would re quire months to familiarize him-. self with the problem. Klamath's From the i, files - 40 , years From the Klamath Republican Auaust 28. 1902 J. F. Goetler has been haullna lumber for his new home in west Klamath Falls.
