Today's Roundup News Behind the News
By MALCOLM EPLEY
TUTS piece is dirorkd to the Klamath people
who have not, heretofore, belonged to the
'Community Concert association. The opportun
ity to join up, nod thus gain s
admission to outstanding music
events next winter, need not
be mentioned to those who
have belonged in the past, for
they will surely take advan
tage of it without reminder.
But a great many local peo
ple have never joined. They
have missed many interesting
and worth while musical
mrnntQ in tlip nnst and not in
frequently many of them have
clamored for admission to such events after
the membership had been closed. This week is
the time to prevent that from happening next
winter.
For the Community Concert association oper
ates on the sound basis of an advance closed
membership thus preventing those financial
headaches that come with guessing and guar
antees. When the association's campaign for
membership closes this week, it will know
exactly where it stands financially and can ar
range next winter';, concert program accord
ingly. Those who have worried about guarantees
for entertainment programs will know why this
plan works so well. ,
It is good news that the association Intends
to carry on in the war period. The war brings
work and worry, and music offers relaxation
and inspiration that are vital to .Tiorale. That
is why it is so fine a thing that Andy Loney
and his helpers are carrying on an expanding
and successful public school nfusic program
here (if you haven't heard one of his groups
in action,, you've missed something). Bringing
famed artists here, as is done by the Commun
ity Concert association, not only lifts the morale
of the adult community, but it stimulates the
interest and activity of these young people who
provide us with more frequent musical fare.
This, specifically, is the opportunity provided
this week. Tickets are on sale for next winter's
concerts at the association campaign headquar-
ters in the Willard hotel. They can be pur
chased there, or from any of the many workers.
Purchasing a ticket will assure the holder of
admission to the concerts and puts him In line
supporting the presentation of good music in
Klamath Falls by famed artists and by our own
talented young, folks.
From Music to Dogs
THE dog ruckus goes on steadily and with
mounting vigor, but presumably it will be
settled tonight by the city council. This writer
has received a number of telephone calls from
people fan both sides of this question, proving
(1) that this is a dog-loving community and (2)
that there is going to be a lot of vegetable and
flower gardening here this year.
Finding a middle ground that will satisfy the
dog lovers and tiie gardeners is. the job before
the city fathers. Their proposed ordinance is too
drastic. A compromise that will not be too hard
on the dogs or the gardens will be sought, and
probably a two-months' tie-up of dogs, or three
"months at the outside, will be the result. '
The council would do well to eliminate the
"shoot on sight" clause of the ordinance re
ferring to dogs in the parks. That just doesn't
fit into this community's feeling toward dogs.
Liquor Rationing
LIQUOR rationing has been ordered for Ore
gon, with weekly allotments to permit
holders. Inasmuch as these allotments provide
for two quarts of whiskey and a pint of gin a
'week, it is doubtful if anyone will be hurt.
Oregon liquor purchases this year have
mounted 40 per cent in spite of a semi-rationing
program -already adopted. In Oregon cities near
the borders, heavy purchasing from out-of-state
customers has been going on. According to re
ports received here, Portland stores have not
adopted the permit stamping system used In
Klamath Falls in enforcing the one-bottle-a-day
ration, with the result that many purchasers up
there have been going from store to store or
even window to window in the same store, lay-
ing up liquor supplies.
The now ration plan is more rigid and will
he applied on a statewide basis with a check-up
on individual purchases provided through a
rationing card.
Distilleries of the country are now almost
100 per cent on war production, and liquor is
not being made. Some method of conserving
the supply and preventing hoarding and boot
legging is in order, and the Oregon commission
seems lo have adopted a sensible plan. '
.
Ration Board Problems
rllE recent appeal for volunteer helpers for
I the local rationing board brought no results
probably because the OPA has been hiring a
considerable number of paid workers for its
district office here. There are evidences of a
feeling that the OPA, if it can provide an
elaborate district set-up, can pay for help in
the local rationing offices.
This, of course, doesn't help the local ration
ing board, which is having a tough time keeping
up with its terrific job and under the present
, arianuemenl must rely to a large extent upon
volunteer assistance. The ration board members
uro giving generously of their own time, without
remuneration, and they need help from persons
vho are otherwise idle,
. Incidentally, the ration board needs a fairer,
break on telephones. The local office has one
telephone, while the district OPA office has 35.
The loral board does local business, and the
single telephone isn't adequate.

MALCOLM EPLEY
Managing Editor
By PAUL MA.LLON
WASHINGTON, March 8 All this confusion
over idealistic planning In the war and
post-war world seems traceable to the tingle
indicates they do
MALLON
for instance,
1
Ml
has outlined a purely democratic plan of "live
and let live" for economic relationships in the
post-war world, but his basic idea for the poli
tical aspect of the peace is founded on the use
of force by some kind of an international police
army, and an international tribunal, dominated
by the big allied nations.
An eminent British church leader was
quoted last week in London dispatches as hav
ing said the basic principle of Hitler, requiring
everyone to follow a leader, was essentially
sound, because everyone will not stay in line
unless so directed. . .
BUT now comes the clearest of all possible
cases exposing our blind wanderings be
tween the ideals of democracy and totalitarian
ism in the Austin-Wadsworth bill, proposing to
let the president draft anyone for any job.
. The bill is submitted, strangely enough, not
by the left wing from which source it might
more reasonably be expected, but it comes from
conservative and republican leaders, such as the
exceptionally able New York Representative
Wadsworth and Vermont's Senator Austin.
The bill was written by a Wall street lawyer,
Grenville Clark, who devised the original draft
act at an opportune time, and is approved by
the American Legion which means there is
powerful steam behind it.
These forces all look at the proposal as an
extreme war-time necessity, which would go no
further than the peace, and, 10 years ago, it
might have fairly been so considered.
But, in the light of all the agitation over
idealogies during a fight by this democratic
nation for its way of life against a totalitarian
way, the measure spurns democracy and
espouses the way of our enemies.
Power
THERE is no argument about what the bill
would do. It would make all males, from 18
to 65, and females, from 18 to 50, subject to
drafting for any industry which Mr. Roosevelt
would consider essential to the war. He could
take two men, now earning $50. a week, and
put one on a farm at $50 a month and the
other in a shipyard at $100 a week.
With a fourth term coming up, it is obvious,
also, that he could consider Mr. Willkie's legal
business as non-essential, and draft him to work
on a farm (not saying he would). What he could
do to John Lewis or non-conforming labor
groups would afford just as interesting specula
tion. There Is no limit to his power, except such
specifications as are cited In the bill exempting
the armed services, women with children under
18, or pregnant, and all state officials (it does
not say anything about federal officers In Wash
ington). The conservatives admit the bill gives Mr.
Roosevelt totalitarian powers practically equal
to Hitler's in this respect, but they excuse it In
two ways.
They say, first, they do not Intend to use the
power, although, of course, they are not pie
ones who will decide to what extent It Is used.
They say if the United States employment serv
ices have the power to make a man go to a
certain factory, he will go without a draft call.
In all their arguments, they rightly assume
that the man-power situation is in a mess, and
contend the bill fixes a straight new policy
which will dispel the confusion and offer the
remedy. It would. '
But where is the man-power shortage? Not
chiefly in war Industries, where high wages are
paid, except in one possible spot at Willow
Run, where transportation difficulties, lack of
housing, and changes in production schedules
are responsible for limited production.
In all other key war industry spots, no gen
eral claim is now being made that we could
produce more if more men were available. All
industries have employment problems, but these
have not kept down production.
THE dire shortage is mainly on the farms and
in such particularized hard work as the cop
per mines and the anthracite coal mines.
Any ordinary . citizen would think that the
way to cure these shortages is to take some
straight democratic means of luring the men
to the jobs voluntarily. Instead, the Wadsworth
Austin adherents are following the same course
they so often criticized in the New Deal ind
want an over-all draft of everybody for every
thing, proposing to create another button to be
pushed from Washington to solve all man-power
situations in all communities.
In their thinking, they, like many other
leaders, have left the realms of democracy and
entered the political halls of the totalitarian!.
Before our confusion of war and post-war
aims can be dispelled, it is clear we must decide
whether we are a democracy and are going to
remain one, or whether we are going to be
totalitarian. Not until then can we have a pat
tern to work with clearly and without confusion.

Interesting Stories
Today some of the busiest
men and womon in Klamath
county are "taking time out"
from their own Interests in or
der to give each and every
American in our county an op
portunity to contribute to the
cause of mercy and humanity.
Some of the volunteers have al
ready been working and at com
mittee meetings at headquarters
we hear many "human Interest"
stories; some encouraging and
some a bit discouraging.
Here is one from George Da
vis, who is head of tho special
gifts committee:
He met one man on his list
whose contribution last year
was $50. He asked George how
much he expected him to give
this year and when George told
him the 1U43 slogan was 'This
year I'm giving double!" he
said, "No, that's not enough.
I'm giving $150." That nuin
realizes .what the Red Cross Is
doing for our fighters and their
families.
v And here's another local note.
In a letter to his family, Mr.
and Mrs. Leslie Rogers' son
Don writes: "I have Just seen
the first American girl since
leaving the United States. She
was with a Red Cross canteen
unit and they served coffee and
doughnuts, and was that coffee
good! I sure wish they would
come around often."
