nurr.RN srows here over the effect of
t tA mtlonlna regulations on restaurants.
Some restaurant operators in the district have
. closed or suspended their bus!-
Ll- 1 nesses, and others have Indi
ra -';frJ cated their intention of doing
' iyl ' S After talking the matter
, t I ' over with an OPA represents-
tive, we offer the suggestion
' I that any restaurant operator
W tJ who wants to stay in business
should take his problem to the
OPA offices before making
anv final decision. While the
OPA cannot pledge relief with
out full knowledge of the situation, it does
promise to go Into the problem with the restaur
ant owner.
There have already been cases where opera
tors have miscalculated their points. In other
ease, operators have not been fully informed
i to adjustments which are provided, in OPA
regulations, for increases In business over the
December bate.
Further, there exists the possibility that re
lief may corae in new regulations, although as
to this there can be no definite assurance from
the local office, of course. But in the cases of
logging camps and sheepherders, for instance,
later provisions were made to handle situations
not taken care of in the original regulations.
OPA should and apparently does recognize
the probability that the writers of the original
regulatloni did not provide for every deserving
situation.
The December base, on which allotments are
permitted under the rule, was not a satisfactory
base for this part of the country. Because of
weather and other conditions, December is a
quiet month here. OPA officials tell us the
rules are flexible enough to permit additional
allotments for Increased business over the
December base. They should be.
In this connection, Lee Jacobs, food rationing
specialist for the OPA district office, has called
a conference of restaurant owners for Saturday
afternoon at 2:30 p. m. at the OPA office.
This will afford an opportunity to talk over the
manner in. which food rationing is working out
after three weeks of operation. Undeniably,
soma of the food place operators have been hurt
badly, but that does not preclude at least talk
ing over the problem. .
As for the public, it is well for all of us to
recognize that restaurant operators are now
handicapped by restrictions not of their own
making and it will not ba possible to provide
verything for customers in the same old way.

Flood of Rumors
f HERE has been a flood of
1 1 rumors the past few days con
cerning "a possible base develop
ment by. the. government in the
viefciity of Upper Klamath lake
Such reports have been circulated
off and- on-for the past year or
two, but they seem to have hit a
new; high in. volume in the cur
rent week. ;
Not a word has come from any
official,' authoritative source, and
the whole thing must still be
classed as a rumor. That doesn't
mean';; there is absolutely nothing
to it, but so far as we can learn,
there is : nothing tangible enough'
to put one's finger on or to get
xcited about.

Highway Post
TIME is approaching for a development in the
matter of appointment of a state highway
commissioner, mentioned in this column a week
or two ago. It has been widely reported that
Governor Earl Snell plans to give this appoint
ment to a man from Klamath county, and the
news is awaited with mounting interest here.
There has been a definite effort made to pre
vent the development of any local pushing and
pulling over the question as to what local man
should be given the post. About a dozen have
been mentioned in connection with it, we un
derstand.,, So far as we know, the general in
clination of all Interested is to trust the judg
ment of the governor in this matter.
' The place to be filled is now held by Herman
Oliver of John Day. There is understood to be
soma pressure for his reappointment from up
In his part of the country. But Klamath county,
has never had a man on the highway commis
sion, it- deserves such an appointment, and
Governor Snell is fully justified in giving It to
well qualified man from this community.
.
Coach Scott, in discussing the tournament,
team deserves a great deal of credit for the
work he has done in bringing the team to state
championship status in his first year in charge.
Coach Scott is a quiet, unassuming guy who
makes no fancy predictions but apparently
knows what he is doing and where his team
is going. He hailed originally from Silverton,
and attended Southern Oregon normal school
and the University of Oregon, playing at both
Places under the present Oregon coach, Howard
Hobson.
Coach Scott,' in duscusslng the tournament,
warmly praises tha clean sportsmanship of the
Klamath players, and also gives, credit to Joe
Peak and . Dutch French for foundation work
done in connection with the basketball program
this year, 'Mr. Scott himself offers an example
of clean sportsmanship for his team.

MALLON
News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 18 The Ball-Burton-Hatch-Hill
resolution is a try-out of the
senate, American public opinion and Russia
(particularly the Silent Joe
Stalin) on the Roosevelt plan
for an international army to
control the post-war world. It
also carries deep domestic po
litical detonating possibilities
coming as it did just after the
try-out of the fourth term
idea.
None of the four senate
sponsors has been a foreign
affairs leader in the senate or
in the democratic or republi
can parties. Ostensibly the resolution has been
presented as their original idea, and certainly
they did Jot down the words, but the basic
proposals are those of Mr. Roosevelt as ex
pressed through his assistant State Secretary
Welles, and otherwise from the start.
As the story is being generally told, these
same ideas occurred to Ball, a new republican
senator from Minnesota, and he Interested the
other newcomers. But behind Ball is Gov.
Stassen of Minnesota, who first appointed him
and then got him re-elected, and behind Stassen
is Wendell Willkie who has expressed somewhat
the same views. How Ohio's republican Sena
tor Burton got into it is not quite clear, except
that he says Ball approached him and their
minds coalesced. It just so happens, this public
coalescing occurred at about the time that the
fourth term tryout brought Ohio's Gov. Bricker
into the presidential picture, with Senator Taft's
old followers who do not like international
world's, internationally policed or otherwise.
Indispensable Roosevelt
GENERALLY everyone can understand Ideas
better when they know the real origin of
them. The origin of this one shows Mr. Roose
velt has succeeded in getting two republican
senators to lead a test for the proposal upon
which his fourth term candidacy would be
based. One senate republican leader, not par
ticularly isolationists says, the kind of world
envisioned by the resolution would make Mr.
Roosevelt's re-election "indispensible." (That is
why he will b against it J
On the other democratic hand, you would
expect such a semi-official proposal to come
from Foreign Relations Chairman Connally, not
from two comparatively unskilled in interna
tional affairs like Senators Hatch ' and Hill.
Everyone on the inside knows, Connally does
not have a real heart-hankering for the ideas
expressed in the' resolution. But this does not
explain why Floor Leader Barkley happened
to be uninformed. Apparently
everyone just forgot him. These
facts will not help the resolution
3 but, of course, the main adminis
tration purposes are served by the
Ball-Burton republican leadership.
More important than these pc
alltical origins are the International
implications. Stalin has been pain
fully vague about his ideas of the
f post-war world. His vagueness
cannot but have worried Eden, the
British foreign minister and Mr.
Roosevelt. They would like to
know where he stands, as would
everyone. All he has talked
about is acquiring the Baltic
states, a piece of Finland, Bessa-
JOSEPH STALIN rabia, etc. This resolution would
Red Question Mark call Stalin into an International
conference to make himself plain. It also con
tains a final phrase which will be of special in
terest to Moscow, advising that "member nations
should commit themselves to seek no territorial
aggrandizement." That last one is a big word
and there is bound to be a question whether
It covers Stalin's modest claims.

International Clouds
TECHNICALLY also, the resolution would
clear the international horizon of one of
the clouds which hinders Roosevelt and Church
ill in dealing with Stalin, Chiang Kai-Shek and
others namely the world knowledge that the
- U. S. senate will have a final say. If Mr.
Roosevelt can wring a prior commitment from
the senate, his dealing hand will be greatly
strengthened. But whether the senate will
want to make any such broad commitments
as the resolution contemplates is extremely
doubtful.
It is safe to say at once the resolution will
not come out of the senate foreign relations
committee as it stands or soon. While some
complaint has been made that it contains too
many particulars, the ultimata complaint is
likely to be that it is not sufficiently specific.
For instance what kind of a "United Nations
military force" is going to apply force on the
world? Who will have the upper hand in it?
Will we keep a bigger air force? Or any at all?
Some senators are already saying the resolution
is a concealed British plan to maintain the
empire as it was, by keeping a balance of
power in Europe. Will small nations consider
this a truly democratic way of "live and let
live" or an imposition of force upon their necks
by the U.S.-Brltaln-Ruseia and China jointly?
Vice President Wallace will no doubt find
some answers to the last question in his South
American tour, although his friends say there
is no connection between the resolution and his
trip which was planned long ago. There is
certainly one connection it will get Mr. Wal
lace and his embarrassing (to some democrats)
speeches out of the country for the beginning
of a world debate which the senate foreign
relations committee is now to start by Roose
velt direction through the Ball-Burton (Willkie)
republican auspices.

URGES DRAFTING
OF CIVILIANS
WASHINGTON. March 18 VF
Undersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson, urging adoption of a
civilian draft law, said today
that despite the need for work
ers in war industries, thousands
still are busy turning out such
things as artificial flowers, jew
elry, toys and cosmetics,
"Wise and ordered" use of
manpower is now imperative, he
told the senate military commit
tee considering the Austin-Wads-worth
bill to draft men and
women into war production.
Patterson argued that the na
tion actually already has resort
ed to compulsion by attempting
to "freeze men in their jobs by
black-listing them from securing
other jobs" and to "control, hir
ing by depriving employers of
the right to hire freely."
For that reason, he added, "it
is not realistic to say that the
alternative is between voluntary
action and national selective
service."

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTH AFRICA, Murch IB
(AP) Tlio AnuM'irans lost Ihclr
first major butllo with thu tier-
man army In Central Tunlsiu
fighting February 14-16 due to
an error in Intelligence com
blnud with a fuulty disposition
of troops, tlio official version
of the event indiciitod today.
An official spokesman in out
lining the (lay-by-iliiy develop
ment of the buttle during
which tha Geniiuns rcuchucl tlio
outskirts of Thulu, key to tlio
Northern Tunisian plateau, con
ceded that American losses In
material had been "very
heavy."
"Our intelligence at the start
ot the buttle wits fuulty in that
wo were convinced tlio Ger
mans would niiiko their main
effect at i'lchon, Instead of
farther south of Falri, ns they
did," the spokesman said.
"For this reason a strong
American combat team was
kept In tlio mountains north
west ot Pinchon ready to coun
ter this thrust."
Fald Pais Thrutt
At the time tha butllo start
ed with Marshal Erwln Rom
mel's thrust out of Fald pass
on Sunday morning, the Amer
icans had two mixed combat
teams stationed at Hndjcb El
Aloun, north of Fuld puss, and
at Sldl Bouzld to the south of
the pass. Thore also was a
mixed team of infantry and ar
tillery and a small armored
force at Fafsa, still further
south In the Chott DJerld area.
There also were some bat
talions of infuntry at Fcrianu,
to the rear of Fald pass.
Using about ISO tanks, the
Germans attacked through
three passes in the vicinity of
Fald on the morning of - tlio
14th. One group of 20 tanks
came directly out of Fald pass.
Another group of 90 came out
of a pass to the north of Fuld,
in tho rear, a third group of 30
came out of a pass south of
Fald, below Sidi .Bouzld. The
rest of the tanks, about 60,
were in reserve.
Americans Not Mailed
By counting the armored
command in the north, above
Pichon, the Americans had un
equal number of tanks, but
they were notyconcentrnted to
meet tha German attack, tho
spokesman said.
By 7:13 a. m., tho Gorman
tanks had overrun our artillery
position at' Djcbcl Lcssouda.
The rest of our combat team
attacked, but lost heavily," he
added.
The next day, the IStli, tho
Americans on both sides of
Fald pass tried to launch a
counterattack from Hnjcb El
Aouln to the north and Sldl
Bouzld to tho south.
But the tanks in tho combat
team attacking from tho' north
suffered crippling losses when
they ran Into German 88-millimeter
guns which had been
towed right into tho battle by
tho nazl armored vehicles.
The combat team attacking
from Sidi Bouzld to the south
also was smashed back.
The Americana then decided
