MALCOLM KTLEY Managing Editor SIDE GLANCES kk : Ljiiii LI EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THE proposal to create a circuit court clerk ihip, now in the legislature, will draw the opposition ol County Clerk Mae K. Short, but it is favored By tircuu .mage David R. Vandenborg. s Mrs. Short asserts the change k i would cost the taxpayers an 1 extra $3000 a year. She feels her office has handled the ' circuit court clerk work satis factorily, and that the attempt to make the circuit court clerk ship appointive by the circuit judge is a piece of spite work against her. We also asked Judge Van- denberg for his opinion. He stated he knew nothing of the legislative bill until he read It in the paper, but that he feels the change would be beneficial. He said it would place the circuit court clerk's office in close proxi mity to the judge's office and the courtroom, with the entire circuit court business in one organization setup. At present, the circuit court clerk Is the county clerk, and usually a deputy is assigned to handle this phase of the county clerk' work. The county grand jury at its last session, when the relations between the office of county clerk and circuit judge were given the attention of the jury, prepared a report suggesting legislation to make the circuit court clerk's position either appointive by the judge or elective. The grand jury's suggestion no doubt came as a reSult of several years in which there has been more or less trouble between the circuit judge's office and the county clerk's office. This dates back through parts of the terms of two circuit judges and the present clerk. So long as there are strained relations be tween the offices of the judge and clerk, an un satisfactory condition exists from the standpoint of operation of the circuit court clerkship under the present set-up. Necessarily, under this set-up, there are constant contacts . between the two offices, and if relations are strained or "broken off" these necessary contacts are a source of em barrassment and trouble. On the other hand, in a spirit of cooperation and good will between the two offices, the present method of handling the circuit court clerkship is satisfactory. .- Spirit Change Needed PO FAR as .this column is concerned, we O would like to see the relationships between judge and clerk put on such a basis. We do not feel that the present condition makes for the best public service or the right kind of spirit in the courthouse. If it is impossible to achieve better relation hips between the offices, the circuit court clerk ship change is a possible solution. Inasmuch as it takes a part of the duties away from the clerk, she feels that it is aimed at her, and naturally she resents it, but we do not believe it originated as a piece of spite work against her. It is possible the change would add to costs. Mrs. Short says it would, because she says it would be necessary not only to employ a circuit court clerk, but also a deputy. Judge Vanden berg believes the job could be handled without a deputy. Presumably, the shift of duties would relieve one deputy in the county clerk's office for other work, affecting a saving there. This column sees no particular objection to the plan. We would prefer, however, to see it dropped and a rapprochment effected between the clerk's office and the Judge's office. some Industrial organization, whose name is not familiar to me. On the other side, the noted southern column' 1st, John Temple Graves, finds me "dead right," and he is Joined by the Augusta Chronicle which says "keen perception," "remarkably ob servant because many of our own people are not yet fully conscious of the development" of this southern revolt. There can be no doubt about the truth of the story, for now Washington is beginning to act accordingly. The southern congressmen who are as close to the inner feelings of their constituents as any newspaper editor or reporter have lately taken leadership to defeat Mr. Roosevelt's appointment of Flynn, to repudiate the administration's promise to Marcantonio, and, in other ways, to act independently or antagonistic to the left wing of the administration. For its part, the administration is soft-pedalling the negro problem, has called off the fair employment committee hearings in which radi cal negroes were to air more complaints; and Mrs. Roosevelt has avoided subjects sensitive in the south in recent weeks. Wise New Dealers know nothing is to be gained by kidding themselves. Quiet Adjustment A SIMILAR new political technique is being practiced by the administration in con nection with rationing defects, which are at the real root of the southern political problem. Not by bne word has any government official admitted that mistakes were made or injustices done, but, at the same time, personnel of ration ing boards is being changed, mistakes quietly corrected, injustices smoothed over by the issu ance of additional coupons. Just as in the case of the southern spokesman for the New Deal, the government is publicly denying the existence of a situation which it is secretly moving to ameliorate. This is probably a judicious technique, even though it makes re porting a difficult and confusing business. My southern conclusions were reached not from talking to editors or industrialists, but from shopkeepers, people in stores, service oc cupations, hotels, on the street those who recognized me from pictures in the paper or otherwise, and came up to tell me their troubles. They were the common people cov ering all walks of life. My information on the rationing similarly comes not only from them, but from the thous ands of readers in all sections who wrote me their individual experiences. , The trouble with this administration lately has been that Mr. Roosevelt has no one around like Jim Farley who maintains touch with the common people. He is much too busy to be expected to do it himself, and his advisers are largely theorists who go no deeper into the public mind than clipping the editorial pages or me newspapers. These are good sources in ordinary times, but, in this war today, every individual has personal experience with centralized govern ment, enabling him to form his own personal opinions. There has been no politician around this government with either Farley's faculty or friendships throughout the country, to keep the government in step with anyone except the local political bosses and office holders who would Ignore a revolt if confronted with one. .iv v. srf-' t",'- , r wc bcwwct; tun t.h ore, u. a war, err.

A left wing reporter, whose name is not familiar to me, has circulated nationally a story that he made a trip to the south and found my con clusions restricted to a "few newspaper editors," "some businessmen," and "proprietors of Florida resorts " Thu smith he reported, is sleeping as soundly democratic as always. Now comes the Nashville Tennessean with an editorial ridiculing my notion that a majority In the south is extremely aroused over in efflclencos in handling rationing, the negro and other problems, and stating I got the story from V fie MALLON Foolish Propaganda MR. ROOSEVELT'S outside publicists like wise seem to be struggling in difficulties, especially with their campaign to stamp out all rationing criticism by calling it unpatriotic, whether or not it is constructive and forces im provements. I listened to the most widely publicized of tne campaigning radio commentators in his last broadcast. He built up a pathetic picture of me iooa situation of the army in Guadalcanal, saying mey were getting along on little or noth ing without complaint, and mentioned that sea. men in lifeboats are starving. His theory was that similar suffering at home should be welcomed and encouraged as a pa triotic duty, without question as to whether it is necessary or justly administered. This kind of foolish thinking presumes that inasmuch as murder is also common In other parts of the world right now, we should have murder at home as a patriotic duty, and even promote a little of it so we too would know how others feel when they are murdered. But he immediately took the minds of his listeners from Guadalcanal and the lifeboats to the Baruch dinner given to Harry Hopkins and wife at a local hotel, denying that it cost $40 a plate or more than $5 which would still be considerable in a lifeboat or on Guadalcanal. Then, in signing off, it developed that he him self is at Miami Beach, the pleasure resort. There will be enough unavoidable suffering In this war, without rubbing salt in It by in justices or foolish propaganda. Harness Sharpens Knife, Lays for Ban on Slicing By KENNETH L. DIXON WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (JP) Representative Harness (R-Ind.) is sharpening up his legislative knife today with an eye on the bread-slicing ban. Something Is going to be done bout it, he says, if it takes an ct of congress. Already, he has the promise of the secretary of agriculture to look into the situation. Harness, who hails from Ko komo, is dead against food dis tribution administration order Mo. 1 which prohibits slicing of bread by bakers. He contends: You can't slice bread without a knife and knives are hard to get; More man-hours (or woman hours, if you will be technical) are lost when millions of persons must slice billions of loaves of bread than when a few thousand mechanical sllcers do the same job; A sharp knife In human hands is a dangerous tool, will lead to many injuries and lost time not counting fingers; Bread sliced by hand hasn't the sanitation of bakery-sliced loaves; And the only real saving Is in waxed paper, since a sliced loaf must be wrapped more heavily than an uncut one. Harness said all this and more in a letter to Director Roy F. Hendrickson of the food distri bution administration, and sharp ly suggested that the slicing or der be rescinded or its value proved. Hendrickson didn't answer, Harness said, so the hoosier hailed Secretary Wiekard. "Even Wiekard couldn't give me any good reason for the or der except the wrapping angle," Harness said, "but he did say he would look into it and do something about it. KETCHIKAN, Alaska. Feb. 10 (rP) The last chapter in the tragic Seattle-Ketchikan flight of Pilot Harold Gillam and five passengers will be written by a party of snowshoc-equipped woodsmen who left Boca De Quadra beach south of here yes terday in an attempt to reach the wreckage of the party's Mor-rison-Knudsen company plane. They did not expect to try to bring out the body of Miss Susan Batzer, 23, Camas, Wash., one of the two casualties of the crash. Burial of the other victim, Gillam, will be in Fairbanks. The four survivors were report ed yesterday to be on the road to recovery, although suffering greatly from shock. Pilot Harold Gillam hung his red underwear on a tree in a last futile effort to draw at tention of searchers, the coaot guard disclosed Monday in telling of the finding of Gillam's body and the rescue of the sec ond pair of survivors of the crash of Gillam's plane against an Alaskan mountainside. After the tragic gesture of hanging up his underwear, coast guard officers said, Gillam wrapped himself in a parachute he had carried with him on the gruelling hike over wilderness snows from the wreckage. Dry matches in his pockets were taken as an indication by authorities that he was too ex hausted, and probably crippled from frozen feet, to attempt to start a fire. The story of the rescue of Robert Gebo. 36, of Seattle, gen eral superintendent in Alaska lor the Mornson-Knudscn com pany, and Dewey Mctzdorf, hotel owner at Anchorage and super intendent of hotels and commis sary for the Alaska railroad, was one of heroism and fortitude backed by a supreme will to live. Chief Warrant Officer Arthur Hook of the coast guard led the rescue party that brought the in jured, weakened and half frozen men to the hospital here. They were reported responding weil to treatment. The first two survivors who were rescued last Wednesday and directed searchers to Metz dorf and Gebo, were Percy Cut ting of Hayward, Calif., and Joseph Tippets of Anchorage. They have rallied rapidly. Men wept unashamedly when the searching party came upon the scene where Gebo and Mctz dorf had survived almost mirac ulously without a flicker of warmth for more days than they could remember. 9 Hook said the two had lain under a canvas lean-to without any sign of a fire for probably a week. They were half submerged In a stream of water from melting snow and their garments were frozen stiff above the water line. A Taxpayer Speaks on Rood KENO, Ore.

De Gnulle reiterated, how ever, that tho only basis on w h I c h complete fusion of trench Interests would bo pos sible would be complete restora tion of the lows of the French republic In North Africa. Bad Joke Ho said thu "international press" had depleted the French political problem as a struggle between himself and Giraud. "That Is a very bad Joke, In very bad taste," he said. "Whul Krunco wants Is not an agree ment between two geucrnls. The questions are much more seri ous than that. "What is necessary is to ex pel the enemy from Franco and restore tho French republic." Do Gaulle said he and the members of his national com mittee had studied the an nouncement of Glraud's new government and found it based neither on tho laws of tho re public nor the lows of Vichy. "It is neither one thing nor another," he asserted. Freedom From Vichy Do Gaulle reiterated his fears of tho effect In metropolitan France of the retention of Vichy -appointed officials in North Africa. "It Is a question basically of whut the United Nations are fighting for," ho said.
