'R in inn Kprmie I Marshall Cornett moved for t the tabling of the Klamath ? delegation's bill V , ' ? circuit court clerkship in jS4Wy ten Klamath county. The motion carried. As we have iously in this EPLEY ure has hit Ml snag. It can still be pulled BacK, dui aenaior Comett'a motion today came from a growing feeling among the Klamath delegates that tha bill might lead to litigation and more trouble If there is a legal question involved. Unless the delegation becomes convinced the measure is airtight legally, It will stay on the table. Some additional study is being made. Thar la also considerable feeling here that auch measures as this, designed to correct a local situation based on personalities, is not good legislative matter. Tha local situation Involved here Is the trained relationship between the offices of Circuit Judge David B. Vandenberg and County Cleric Mae K. Short. The measure, suggested by the grand jury, was designed to remove a point of contact between the offices. That con tact it now necessary because the county clerk is alto the circuit court clerk. By making the clerk appointive by the judge, as this bill pro vides, tha two offices would be completely separated. But In every other Oregon county the county clerk and the circuit Judge have this same con tact, and they get along without having to come to the legislature for a new law. There is opinion here, and It checks with what has been said In this column, that Klamath county ought to insist that its public officials get along to gether and do their respective jobs. As It stands, we are advertising a family squabble. We've already had too many of them. Johnny Wins This One IN THE senate today, also, the measure to provide for a state tax on juke boxes, pinball machines, etc., was defeated. Mayor Johnny Houston and the Klamath city council was strongly opposed to this bill because they felt tha state was Invading a source of revenue that belongs to the cities. They had a supporter In the senate vote today In Senator Cornett, who has not always voted with cities on legislation In which they are Interested. Representatives Semon and Craver of Klam ath county voted together today In opposition to an attempt to suspend operation of the milk control law until after the war. Their votes -helped to defeat the proposal. On the bigger truck bill, one of the most controversial measures to come up in this ses sion, Representative Semon voted affirmatively and Representative Craver voted against the truck measure. Craver Likes It MR. CRAVER, Klamath's freshman legislator, likes his new Job. It has been an In teresting experience for him, and he has won J5 REP. CRAVER be physically in- Likes Job capacitated. "It's too wide open," said Mr. Craver, point ing out there is nothing In the bill to prevent a retired judge from going back into law practice and earning generous fees while still drawing his $200 a month for life from the state. Leith Abott, S.

New Rationing Formula , Planned for Resiauranis WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (JP) Restaurants and other public eating establishments were put under a new rationing formula for canned and other processed foods today. Designed to put allotments for these establishments on ap proximately the same basis as those for householders, the for mula gives them 810 of a ration point In March and April for each meal served during the.

They both come from South Carolina, and have travelled the same political ways. This does not mean Mr. Hopkins is in any way at a disadvantage at the White House, al though he no longer lives there. He hat an apartment at a new hotel, selected for reasons of. comfort, rather than because his commit ments to the Russians seemed to follow his old lavishly exuberant spending policies of WPA leaf-raking relief days. Little competition could exist, therefore, be tween Mr. Baruch and Mr. Byrnes on one side and Mr. Hopkins on the other. The only point is that where Mr. Hopkins once sat alone, now sits also Mr. Byrnes and closer, along with the always close consultant. Judge Rosenman. Their man in the army is Brigadier General Somervell, formerly associated with Mr. Hop kins in charge of New York state's old WPA, and now handling just about everything in the army except the air and ground force phases. Apparently, Mr. Nelson felt even the absent influence of this reorganized group of White House top advisors, and took the position that he need ask only one advisor, the president him self. He did not regard his organization .as being under the Byrnes set-up on the one hand or army and navy on tha other. He took the absentee but imminent bull by the horns, fired Mr. Eberstadt, appointed Mr. Wilson, and emerged with the singular White House denial that he was about to resign a denial which, in a negative but powerful way, established Mr. Nelson and his newly reor ganized WPB as a strong, independent unit standing on its own feet Question for a Soothsayer THE matter might not be worth mentioning were it not for all the various stories in circulation. All authorities here, in and out of the administration and congress, agree that WPB is getting the production job done fairly well and will continue to do so. Its main trouble apparently is that Its efforts do not mesh on all production phases and con siderable grinding of the gears can be heard in several quarters as, for instance, at the Ford Willow Run plant (a matter possibly attributable to the rigidity of Mr. Ford's production line system as against this constant army changing of construction details of its bombers to an extent which might require constant retooling for Mr. Ford.) Whether these developments will now cause the dust to settle and permit a peaceful coherent direction of war production without continuous conflicts, is a question for a hardy soothsayer. WPB has agreed to let army-navy have procure ment, that is, whatever kind of equipment it wants and how much, but WPB wil complain that army-navy has loaded up plants with orders for as long as 48 months In advance. The army-navy group has claimed that such orders give the companies a back-log, enabling better planning of production. But other plants only have 30 days' orders ahead, and it It ap parent that prime contractors, sub-contractors, etc., have not been synchronized. Next steps are up to Mr. Nelson, whose posi tion now has been strikingly re-established by direct word from the president. friends and. re spect here. The new leg islator, who is a railroad em ploye, devotes a lot of study to every issue that comes before the legislature. He does his own thinking. Today, he took a stand against a measure which passed the house and would pro vide $200 a month life pen sions for circuit judges found to month of December, 1942. On the same basis, householders are receiving about 510 of a ration point, but OPA said the slight differential was necessary be cause of higher waste and fluc tuating patronage in public eat ing places. After determining their ration points under the formula, res taurants will buy canned goods according to point values, the same as householders.

U MALCOLM EPLEY Manafirtff Editor News Behind the News By PAUL MALLOW , WASHINGTON, Feb. J4 Rumblings of an internal discontent have popped out now into the news with Mr. Nelson's firing of hts right-hand man Ferdinand Eberstadt, published rumors tna Baruch would take over me wnoie wro worm, ana an extraordinary official Whit House denial of same. Sparse newi accounts have -i given the public an impression that all this dissention repre sents is a clash between Mr. Nelson's civilian control and the army and navy. What happened, however, was that Mr. Nelson went up against tha very portals of tha White House itself, and came out not only whole, but on top. His clash was not so much with the army and navy as with what might be more accurately described as the Hopkins-Baruch-Byrnes-Somer-vell-Rosenman clique, which has exercised a great influence on both the civilian and mili tary branches lately. Mr. Eberstadt was their man. His successor, Charles E. Wilson, selected by Mr. Nelson, Is not. Mr. Wilson (as well as Mr. Nelson) is reported to have been lax in following the unofficial custom of New Dealers in seeking out the ad vice of Bernard Baruch, the old production war horse of World War I. Park benches in front of the White House are supposed to have been worn paintless by the government officials com ing to ask this wise elder advisor about their problems. ar and coffee rations of restaur ants with their canned goods rations. The sugar and coffee allowances were reduced slight ly, however. The new formula for public eating places will apply to boarding houses only if BO or more persons are served regu larly. Smaller boarding houses will pool the residents' individ ual rations. If people around the country knew about things that go on in their capital, you can bet your last dollar they wouldn't stand for it. Prof. Alvan Oder kirk, who quit OPA to go back to Iowa State.

It was outlined recently by Economic Director James F. Byrnes who also called on the press to keep up the pace of bat tle on the home front by fight ing black markets, exposing ra tioning violations and editorial ly combatting those "who tell us that we can win the war in 1944 as well as 1943." Lata Release To more than 200 members of the American Society of News paper Editors and their guests at the ASNE annual banquet here the night of February 13, Byrnes' plea is not new. It was deliver ed that night as an off-the-rec-ord address and released for publication by the office of war information only last night. Although mostly devoted to means by which the press could help in the war effort, Byrnes' address also took issue with "the people who believe that because it may cause serious inconveni ence to our civilian population, we must be careful not to do too much at this time and who tell us that we can win the war In 1944 as well as 1943." Byrnes' remarks Interpreted by some as aimed at opponents of a bigger army were released by OWI a day after Vice Presi dent Wallace had spoken in the same vein in a Washington's birthday address. We must disarm Japan on the sea after the war. To keep her disarmed for a long time after wards we must have the bases from which to operate. We must have sufficient bases to prevent future aggression in that quarter of the world Navy Sec retary Frank Knox.
