EVER hopeful that something will deter the
Inevitable, some local federal income tax
payer have misinterpreted bits of tax news
leaning out oi wasningion as
meaning that somehow they
won't have to file returns and
make payments on March IS.
The sad truth is that nothing
has happened to change the
situation. No congressional
action could alter it now, so
far as the March IS filing Is
concerned. Bill Owsley, deputy
collector of internal revenue
here, emphasized that again
today, stating that every tax
payer Is required to tile a return and make
at least a quarterly payment on March 15
which, unhappy friends, is next Monday.
Recent news items regarding an extension
of time in rare cases, Mr. Owsley said, have
to do with those extraordinary instances in
which taxpayers are unable to prepare and
file a return by March 13, for some such ex
ceptional and highly legitimate reason as serious
Illness.
'And In those cases, only the collector of in
ternal revenue for this district can grant the
extension. He is James W. Maloney, Portland,
and forms are available for application at the
local office. The conditions under which an
extension can be granted are so exceptional,
said Mr. Owsley, that the provision doesn't
mean a thing to the ordinary taxpayer.
That's the story from the best local author
ity. Best thing for all of us to do Is to get the
return filed. Once that first payment is off our
chests, we'll feel better.
Taxpayers have until the close of business on
'March 15 to file returns. Any return, in an
envelope postmarked March 15, is not delin
quent. But if the postmark is March IS, the
filing is delinquent. That's an important detail.
To help out locally, the revenue office in the
federal building will be open until midnight on
March 13 to accept returns.
MALLOK
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLOK
WASHINGTON, March 12 Vice Presi
dent Wallace's erudite speech to the Ohio
Wesleyan conference flew so . high Into the
stratospheric philosophy o f
- someone named Hegel, et al,
i that it, missed many front
pages and few citizens - got
what he was driving at.
But it really presented what
might be called the Wallace
philosophy, perhaps even an
official administration idea, of
the post-war world. Boiled
down, It comes to this:
Russia is progressing from
communism toward democracy.
Our democracy is progressing in the opposite
direction toward communism. We should meet
at a place called "X" and on that spot, a post
war world should be built.
Now, do not immediately conclude that this
Is a strained simplification of the Wallace
philosophy, or that it is altogether unreason
able. It Is true, for instance, that Stalin has
been working away frcin Marxian communism.
The Russian system today is more of a socialist
than a communist state.
On the other hand, the New Deal has proudly
proclaimed its mild advance from democracy,
as we used to know "it, toward socialism (Ten
nessee valley authority and various government
enterprises of ownership and operation, and, to
a lesser degree, the collectivist socialist philos
ophy of the taxation policies, AAA, NYA, social
security, etc.) ,
Nor can there be any question about Mr.
Wallace's hope that such progress, both in
Russia and the United States, Will continue, for
he says:
"The future well-being of the world depends
upon the extent to which Marxlanlsm, as it is
being progressively modified in Russia, and
democracy, as we are adopting it to twentieth
century conditions, can live together in peace,
"Old line Marxianism has held that democ
racy , . . serves the cause of the common man
with platitudes rather than with jobs, and that
it is weak.
"And we. who believe in democracy, must
admit that routine science, invention and tech'
nology have provided us with new bottles into
many of which we have not yet poured the
wine of the democratic spirit . . . democracy
must be tremendously mora efficient than it has
been In the service of the common man and in
the resistance to selfish group pressures."
Where Is "X"?
IF THIS seems so Indefinite as to be confusing
to you, you are probably in the same boat
with Mr. Wallace. While he sees definitely
the direction in which he wants to go, he
cannot yet define where "X" is to be.
He does not know how far we are to go
toward Marxianism and, therefore, cannot write
the specifications in a clearer way that would
be understandable to the general public.
All this sounds like it came out of a book,
a very big book, and no doubt much of it did.
Mr. Wallace's tramp back through the history
of philosophy to prove that the German Hegel
and the German Mark are the original philos
ophers of both fascism and communism may
possibly be true.
But no citizen needs a book to see that Mr.
Wallace has somewhere missed the whole vast
difference between the Russian and American
systems.
Leaving all high philosophy aside, the man
in the street knows what Russia stands for, and
he knows what America stands for, and, there
fore, he knows there is a. sea between them
more vast than any ocean on the map.
For one thing, the kind of socialism Stalin
represents is totalitarian. Democracy is anti
totalitarian. Stalin's socialism is not that of
freedom of the common man, but dictatorship
by the worker. Our form of government is
against dictatorship by any group, worker, farm
er, or rich.
It seems clear that Mr. Wallace has fooled
himself, by reading all the books, into accept
ance cf a theory that any man in the street
here can disprove for himself by his personal
knowledge without a book. Primarily, Mr. Wal
lace is a politician, not a philosopher, and he is
trying to find In philosophical history a common
ground for . his political purpose of bringing
Russia and the United States together in the
post war world.
International Soft Soap
BUT this kind of international soft-soaping is
obviously apt to lead the unwary thinker
into the belief that Russia and the United
States can join together in a common state
after the war. ' -
Obviously, Mr. Wallace had better consult
Stalin and Churchill about that, because Stalin
is a realist, if nothing else, and he knows, if
Wallace does not, that his progress toward
socialism and ours still leaves us so far apart
as not to be anywhere near adjacent.
This does not mean that the United States and
Russia cannot live in complete peace with each
other and in full friendliness in a post war
world, each with its own internal political
system.. We can cooperate on a mutual basis
of self-interest to keep peace in the world.
We simply cannot, for practical political rea
sons if no other, reach Mr. Wallace's "X" which
seems to be half-way to communism, and seems
to me to be half-way to Hitler. ..
A more democratic doctrine for the post-war
world was suggested by Ohio's Governor Brick-'
er, in a largely unnoticed speech the same day.
He counselled a policy of "live and let live" in
the truly democratic and Christian spirit for all
nations, little and big, in the post war world
but protecting ourselves strongly at home.
At any rate, we can at least be clear now as
to the cause of our confusion about the post
war world. Our leaders do not know yet where
they are going. They do not know where "X" is.
Naturally, they cannot define it with suffic
ient clarity to let anyone else become wholly
unconfused.

SOLDIER ON DOGS
CAMP WHITE, Ore. (To the
Editor) Just a word from a for
mer citizen of Klamath Falls
who is now in the armed forces.
I have read of the proposed plan
of keeping the dogs tied for six
months out of the year. I have
always had a personal pride in
telling people I was from Nlanv
ath Falls, but if this law is
passed I'd be ashamed to admit
I was from a town that would
adopt such a law. In fact, If it
is passed I and my dog whom I
left at home, will no longer be
from Klamath Falls when I get
home again.
Yes, I left my dog behind
while I went to the army in de
fense of my country and the peo
ple in it, while the folks at home
want to take my dog's freedom
from him. I'm sure a dog's free
dom means as much to him as
your freedom does to you, may
be more so. I trust the people
we elected to run our city will
stop and think it over before
they pass such a law.
Sincerely,
PFC Larry F. Carmichaol

MORE DOGS
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. ((To
the Editor) Mrs. Brown on
White avenue, I write about the
dogs and garden. When we lived
in Mills addition the dogs
would play in our garden all
night regardless of what kind of
a fence one had. Mills addition
was lousy with dogs, and one
fellow told me we had no busi
ness living down there unless we
had two or three dogs. The only
tning for those that want to
raise a garden is to get a 22 rifle.

Little Crystals Keep
Army Radio Talk Private
NEW YORK, March 11 (7P)
Little crystals are keeping the
enemy guessing and making bat
tlefront conversation a private
affair.
In the hurly-burly of fast
ahifting battle lines, these crys
tals allow American and allied
troops to have radio communi
cation the enemy can't pick up.
These slices of quartz crystal,
averaging about an inch square
and ten one-thousandths of an
Inch thick, are of major im
portance in modern military
equipment.
They may have an interesting
place In radio after the war,
too.
The crystals themselves are
not a new Idea. They were being
wade before the war for radio
stations and some short-wave re
ceiving sets. But they have gone
to war in a big way.
In tho present war of move
ment it is important for units
tanks, planes, artillery, infan
tryto keep in touch with their
commanders.
To avoid disaster, the radio
messages of a unit must be re
ceived by that unit and not by
another unit or by the enemy.
The little postage stamp wafers
do the Job.
Properly cut and treated, each
tiny slice will vibrate only to
its assigned frequency.
Every tank, plane, gun crew
and infantry group is equipped
with a radio ' automatically
tuned in by these crystals to
every other unit which the plan
of action requires it to keep in
touch.
No set can receive or send a
message on a different wave
length without changing the
crystal. Sometimes it is neces
sary to shift to a different fre
quency because the enemy has
discovered the one already be
ing used.
For this reason some military
radio sets are equipped with
more than a hundred different
crystals.
The way the crystal Is cut de
termines the way it will act
under radio waves, One way to
cut crystals was by abrasive
wheels.
Diamond men worked out an
other way to do the job quickly.
One firm of diamond cutters
set un a Sllhulriinrv. tho O.inrlT
Products company, which went
mi wuir mis way;
A rlreulnr nir tolll. Ulfa.
... ..n tt -. i , niiu'.
blade edge impregnated with
diamond dust, much like the
wheel used to saw through gem
diamonds, proved able to slice i
quartz crystal quickly.
The paper-thin saw wore
away only a small amount of
the mother crystal, increasing
the number of slices obtained
for each pound of raw crystal.
Optimistic about the use of
these crystals after the war, dia
mond men believe there may be
widespread use of private radio
sets using wave lengths, made
possible by the quartz wafers,
which would make privacy pos
siblesuch as conversation be
tween a motoring business man
and his office.
