Cm I - Outside Views of the Incident WHEN Sunday's excitement subsided,' we well Knew it would be followed by expressions of opinion by outside newspapers and radio commentators, some of which would not be received with pleasure in this com munity. Some of these expressions have been published on this page, and others will appear as they are avail able. We might as well know what others are saying. General tenor of newspaper editorials has been to deplore civilian violence, but at the same time to deplore the activities of the religious sect that provoked the trouble in this community. The sharpest written criti cism of the community as a whole, so far as we have noticed, was made by the Oregonian, while it has been reported one nationally known radio commentator took a verbal stab at Klamath Falls. On the whole, however, we have not fared badly, ,.4ue to a realization by most of these outsiders of the highly provocative situation that existed here. . This news paper has stood always for law and order, and has so expressed itself in this situation, but it comes to the de fense of the good name of this community in pointing nt certain facts that may not have been fully realized by those who express their opinions on the matter. At the outset, let us say that the provocation, inten sively and designedly developed by Jehovah's Witnesses, became so great here at the time of their convention titat It would take almost supernatural restraint to pre vent something from happening. A Witness at Eugene let the cat out of the bag when he said the Witnesses expect to be persecuted. It is obvious that they welcomed trouble. There have been Witness activities -in many other communities, but none in this immediate area which have equaled those which occurred at the time of the convention here. We believe what happened here would be just as likely to happen in Portland, or Albany, or Eugene, under similar circumstances. This does not ex cuse lawlessness here, but we do not believe what hap pened Sunday was due to any particular conditions that exist here except the exceptional local activities of Je hovah's Witnesses. The violence was not engaged in entirely by towns people. Some one undertook to cut a wire leading into the Jehovah convention hall. The Jehovahites did not jrely call the police and demand that this lawless act be stopped and remedied. They came forth, armed with fticks and clubs, and attacked the local men. These were the events that led to further violence. One outsider has been quoted as saying that Klamath Falls should be "ostracized" or something of the kind. A.iamath rails is an outstandingly patriotic community. Its showing in war savings; in connection with the 10 per cent payroll deduction plan, puts other Oregon cities to shame. It has not lagged in. any phase of community contribution to the war effort. It has given its share of men to the armed services, and it has lost its share. Those who condemn the entire community, on the basis of Sun day's incident, are grossly unfair. But it is a quirk of human nature that one spectacular incident will over shadow a lifetime of constructive accomplishment. For the future, this newspaper again counsels re straint. If the Jehovahites again tempt the people here, ignore them. Nothing will displease them more. From Other Editors SECT INVITES ATTACK (Marysville Appeal-Democrat) Even though you sympathize with the patriotic people of Klamath Falls, who stormed a ball where Jehovah's Witnesses were holding a convention, it is Impossible to bulid up a case that will justify them. Mob vio lence is never the right solution. It may avoid extremes and re sult only in a few battered heads, as it did in this instance, but there is always a chance it will get out of control. Particularly in war time, when nerves are on edge anyway, it Is better to keep indignant protests within the bounds of legality and leave di rect action to the duty consti tuted authorities. But if the townspeople who stormed this defeatist organiza tion are to be criticized, how about the provocation? The Wit nesses are well known as op posed to the war. They refuse to fight for their country and they carry on an active propa ganda to induce others to aban don resistance. If everyone lined Pralst will be htaped its tense adventure.

TURKEY DAY TREAT CHICAGO, OP) The Adver tising Managers club of Chicago wants every family in the Unit ed States to set an extra place at its Thanksgiving dinner table for a soldier, sailor, marine or coast-guardsman away from home.

The way he is doing it in dicates his drum-beating is da- signed primarily to sound out public senti ment. The rest of the admin istration, includ ing the White House, is keep ing quiet to see how he comes r lout. U His Initial ventures sug gest congress Paul Malloa is not - ready yet to take such a revolutionary way of solving the labor prob lem. A daring bill h? been pro posed by Senator Lister Hill, but Mr. Hill concedes his bill would Just about go the rest of the way toward establishing a totalitarian state. That is Just what makes the idea abhorrent to most congress men. They cannot see the sense of embracing what we are so ardently warring against. The notion is beginning, to break upon them that this na tion has been too much in fluenced by Hitler's methods. Subconsciously, in the past, our statesmen have grasped the totalitarian way of cracking down on all problems with ar bitrary federal power, as if that was the only efficient way of doing things. It is beginning to dawn on them that perhaps they can get better efficiency, more hearty cooperation and glad sacrifices from the people, if they try to meet our problems In as much of a democratic way as possible. Therefore it looks like Mr. McNutt is running into a stone wall on his labor ' draft, and that another way will be found. RIPE TO ACT Congress is certlnly ripe to act on the problem, which is not being over-estimated by Mc Nutt. Stories fill the cloak rooms of both houses. Twenty different boards are dealing now with manpower, and. with out the slightest evidence of success. Senator Thomas cannot get help to run his Idaho irrigated farm, and his manager is threat ening to quit. Senator Bankhead has heard from Anderson and Clayton, biggest cotton brokers, that the southern labor problem will bring a crop of poor quality this year, although wages are four and five times normal. One hundred farms in a sin gle county in Ohio are reported by congressmen of that state to be idle, because of labor short age. The army and navy have dis covered such labor pirating in industry as to bestir them to demand action. One western manufacturer re quested 80 steamfitters to help him fulfill his army contract, claiming he had no one. The army got some steamfitters for him, transported them to the plant, and there found the man ufacturer had- 40 steamfitters hidden away in the basement playing cards each day for pay. He could not work them be cause he had no materials. So the problem is pressing, but the only question is wheth er the McNutt totalitarian meth od, uprooting men wholesale from jobs they can do and transplanting them into Jobs dee it hi NOW! 3 Great Stars Together! , f COMEDY! ill' ' Jl DRAMAI SIDE GLANCES ww iwmrutnvtr, aea. t.m. era --.. oe.

' a COMMON-SENSE METHOD Characteristics of the prob lem are easily distinguished if you will stand back and look at them. Our objectives are two: first, to raise an efficient army of sufficient strength to win (the military must decide that), and, secondly, to main tain production and civilian life just as efficiently and fully as possible. Wholesale, haphazard draft ing of men will not accomp lish either objective. Extreme steps, such as McNutt and Gen eral Hershey have been talking about, are more apt to stir in ternal resentment, promote ci vilian chaos. - Best solution I have heard comes from an authority in the government. As this is an industrial, labor and farm problem, why not have it handled by industry, labor and farm men who have had some experience with it. Why not create a board of the best available industrialists, labor leaders and framers and let them try democratic man agement. McNutt's bureau is not a logical one to handle this prob lem anyway. For administration he has social security directors in the various areas, most of whom were drawn from social welfare groups, many of whom are women without experience in Industrial labor or farm labor problems. His bureau deals with social security and health, neither of which is even re motely related to the pressing matter at hand. If a common-sense business like management of the prob lem is proposed, congress will readily agree. If pressure con tinues "for the Hitler solution, there will be dangerous delay.
