Njliafw hitherto unpublicized In-
fjk I 1 cident that occurred here
I I points a finger of suspicion at
Folkes. Deputy Sheriff Jack
EPLEY Franey states that when he
went to get Folkes, a cook, for a finger nail
examination, he asked the negro if he had had
' his finger nails "scraped" yet.
Folkes, according to Deputy Franey, replied
that he had. Subsequently, it developed that
he had not had them scraped, contrary to his
statement as reported by Mr. Franey.
Innocent or guilty, Folkes does not come out
of that incident in a favorable light. The
deputy's story indicates an attempted deceit
that appears most significant under tha cir
cumstances under which it occurred.
.
Legislative Matters
WHAT with a train murder and the war,
the legislature has been blotted pretty
well out of the publicity limelight this cession.
We won't suggest that is one reason the legis
lators are reported considering an earlier-than-.
usual adjournment.
Legislation of particular Interest to Klamath
county has not made Its appearance as yet,
except that having to do with possible reap
portionment of the legislators. The Klamath
salary bill, eagerly awaited by courthouse folk,
has not made the hopper. ,
: Latest reports from Salem indicate the Klam
ath delegation has not decided the details of this
proposal, if any is to be made. It is certain
that Senator Cornett and Representatives Semon
and Craver will agree among themselves be
fore acting.
One factor that may prevent the Klamath of
ficials from getting heavy increases is that a
look over the salaries of county officers, as
shown in the Oregon Blue Book, proves that
Klamath has been one of Oregon's most gen
' erous counties so far as pay of its officials is
concerned. In fact, no county, outside Mult
"nomah, pays Its officials any more generously,,
and most of them are below the Klamath scale.
This does hot mean Klamath has been paying
too much. Some of the salaries paid in other
counties look niggardly. But it is improbable,
under the comparisons, that Klamath officials
can get large Increases. A moderate upping
may be in prospect. Whether it will be on a
percentage basis, or something like $20 or $25
straight across the board, evidently has not
been decided..'"-' , . .

Who Pays?
THE city council last Monday night endorsed
a suggested senate bill which would provide
for food handlers' examinations on a statewide
basis, with the cost of these examinations to be
borne by the state of Oregon. This measure
was brought to the council attention by G. C "
Tatman, grand old man of the culinary alliance,
who indicated it would be offered as a culinary
alliance proposal. '
Food handlers' examinations are not a new
topic before the Klamath council. ' On . several
occasions, ordinances calling for such examina
Hons here have been introduced, but they have
always been wrecked on the question as to who
should pay the fee for the examinations. There
has been, also, a feeling here that such examin
ations should be required on a statewide basis,
if at all. "
The new measure would Institute the state
wide basis, and it brushes off the whole ques-.
tion of fee payment by simply stating that the
cost would be borne by the state of Oregon.
Under this measure, the fee maximum is $5
and examinations would be required every six
months. The council did not inquire as to how
much this might cost the state of Oregon, or
where the money would come from. It simply
endorsed the measure.
Whether this was done in part out of affection
for and 'confidence in Mr. Tatman, a man who
deserves both, we do not know. But it is cer
tain that the financial question is of vital im
portance in connection with such a measure,
and it deserved more consideration than the
council gave It. It would put another burden
upon taxpayers, and it cannot and should not be
done or asked for without careful study.
Nor should it be overlooked that food
handlers themselves, by virtue of semi-annual
medical examinations, benefit personally, and
could in justice be asked to pay at' least part
of the bill.

ideas that run right along with our own, has
this to say on this business:
A glance at the page and we recognize Lard,
Easy and Hoople, the old blow-hard.
Freckles and Annie and Oola and Fug
We know 'em all from a glimpse of their mug.
We care not a whit if they're handsome or plain
We happily greet them again and again. -So
please, Mr. Epley, will you take a tip
We don't give a darn for the set of your lip.
We're putting our cards on the top of the table:
The thing that we want is a picture that's

Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 The Roosevelt
Churchill promise of heavy actions, great
battles and smashing victories to come will
naturally stimulate the in
quisitive imaginations of Amer
icans who, like myself, know
nothing of the plans and
should know nothing.
Yet, a careful, comprehen
sive look by us at the obvious
military situation may do
much to clarify our thinking
and expectations.
Hitler's retreating troops in
Russia are seeking refuge on a
defensive line, probably half
as short as they have occupied. This means
they still hope to maintain a new defensive
eastern front with half as many troops, half
as much material,
. As the reds advance, they must run increas
ingly into the same obstacle which hindered
Hitler, namely extensive communication lines.
They too will have to stop somewhere to re
organize and repair communications. They have
insufficient strength to run on into Germany.
Even if cracking morale demoralizes com
pletely the nazi forces on the eastern front,
Hitler can still hope to maintain some sort of
defensive line in Poland and the Balkans to
protect the homeland and central European
conquests temporarily.
So also in the west. Hitler has been pushing
civilians out of Marseilles, apparently in antici
pation that one of ' the Roosevelt - Churchill
"heavy actions" will be an invasion of southern
France. Indeed, Mr. Roosevelt hinted as much
when he spoke of the liberation of France as
a primary war aim.

A MORE enticing point for British invasion
is Norway, and here is where the German

Certainly Hitler, (now nearing defeat at such
that Mr. Roosevelt talks of uncon
ditional surrender as the only term of peace)
is digging himself in on. shorter last-ditch in
ternal lines, letting Russia, and perhaps Italy,
collapses before spring, these
cracked by us to attain our terms.
The mourning in nazi news and funeral dirges
played over the Berlin radio are, unhappily,
not the good signs of German cracking that the
American public wants to believe them to be.
If they were entirely authentic, the end, indeed,
is at hand.
But the clever nazi psychologists apparently
are using their military set-backs which could
not be concealed anyway to frighten and shake
their people into the last ditch stand that Hitler
is preparing. The Goebbels gang seems to have
obtained an era of publicity realism for the
German people solely for their own fighting
purposes, and not for peace.
,
Way to Victory Over Japs
AS FOR the far east, it is common for Ameri
can authorities to say that victory over the
Japs will take years and years. 'It should not.
General MacArthur has pointed out one way
to crush them more quickly. His public state
ments from New Guinea urge the adoption of
new tactics to take far flung Jap island strong
holds by air. .
He wants, presumably, 1000 big planes or
more to carry 20 to 70 men each, and supply
them, for the taking of Jap island centers rather
than proceeding island by island in tedious
amphibious warfare.
Other still better ways of hastening victory
over the Japs are apparent here. MacArthur,
naturally, is speaking of his own immediate
problem after New Guinea, and is trying to
promote more planes for his purposes.
But the Jap empire can be forced into sub
mission most quickly if we strike at the source
of their power rather than chasing them over
vast jungle islands.
A heavy concentration of American plane
power in China can cut the Jap line of supplies
to its island bases and do more damage to
Tokyo than the RAF has yet done to Berlin.
If we can arm the- vast empire of China,
the Japanese armies can be driven back into
the sea, and, once her military' power is
broken, the end of the war will not be years
and years away
This, the Roosevelt-Churchill agreement pro
poses to undertake. e

of time after December 6, 1941,

A like extension applies to the

Moreover, military and naval
