FRANK JENKINS Edilor Today's Roundup News Behind the News k tit III T T AW Bv MALCOLM EPLEY A FRONT-PAGE story in the Salem Capital Journal for Saturday predicts the ap pointment of State Senator Marshall Cornell to thm state highway commission. f ' This yarn sounds like a long lfpm0'i hot.

EPLEY The Salem story relates that the appointment seems likely to come to Klamath county, which, according to all the evidences, is true. The name of Arthur Schaupp, loeal attorney and former state legislator, has been mentioned prominently recently in con nection with the position. As we have said before, Klamath deserves this appointment and It is good news the gov ernor intends to make it for a Klamath man. 'We hope thera will be an announcement soon. Eating Our and Rationing WHEN restaurant owner gathered with OPA officials Saturday to talk over the effects of rationing on their business, a vast majority of the restaurant people indicated their intention of staying in business. Out of 32, four Indicated they planned to retire from business and two were undecided. Inasmuch as "eating out" is common practice in this community, and restaurants perform a vital public service, the effect of rationing on the restaurants is of considerable public inter est. The OPA regulations are probably flexible enough, and sufficiently subject to adjustment, that most of the eating houses can keep going. That does not mean they do not face prob lems. For instance, there is the matter of coffee. An OPA official tells us that the restaurants have been definitely and drastically cut on cof fee, and when a customer is told that he can't have all the coffee he wants, it is true. . Reason for Delay THERE are several Klamath county connec tions with the Folkes train murder case in Linn county. This case was brought to Klamath Falls by train after the murder of the navy ensign's bride on a southbound S. P. train in Linn county in January. It was taken back to Linn county, scene of the crime, but District Attor ney L. Orth Sisemore is helping the Linn county d. a. in prosecution of Robert Folkes, the negro cook accused of the murder. Judge Llewellyn, of Linn county, who will preside in the Folkes trial, was assigned by the supreme court to the case of the State versus Klamath county'! clerk, Mae K. Short, in con nection with charges of overtime payments to Mrs. Short. Because of the Folkes case, Judge Llewellyn has been unable to come to Klamath county to handle court progress in connection with the Short case, and for that reason the latter affair is still hanging fire. Incidentally, some of the "detective" maga zines have already carried stories on the Folkes case. One of these we have read, and were surprised that it stayed somewhere close to the truth throughout, in contrast to other stories we have read on crimes with which we hap pened to be familiar. Perhaps the reason was that the Folkes case had all the sensation any one could ask, without the necessity of insert ing fiction. - Note on the barbers' minimum price bill, passed by the legislature: A local man tells us that he talked to a score or more legislators in Salem, who said they didn't believe in that bill but were going to vote for it. Somebody really must have put power behind that measure, creating a situation that is no credit to the legislators who voted against their own convictions. t If rumors were construction activities, a navy base would now be in operation on Upper Klamath lake. War bonds are a first class investment. Wildlife Note THE state liquor board starts national wild life week by rationing liquor to one quart a week. Is that cooperative? Bend already has an ordinance calling for tleing up dogs from now to June 30, and the people of the town voted the ordinance, It was done to protect birds nesting along the Des chutes river bank in Bend, but this year the tie-up period may be extended to protect gar dens as well as the birds. Bend Bulletin sug gests, with good sense, that city authorities should not dilly-dally over the question, but should act so that dog-owners and gardeners alike would know what to expect. A friend of ours has the right idea on ration ing. He says: "I'm not hoarding anything. I figure if I starve on what they're going to let me have, so will 70,000,000 others." . We had lunch with a group on Monday, the first day of butter rationing. Butter was left on virtually every plate when tha meal was over. 1 temporary comMnitlcB of the Ercntnr Herald an (ha Klamath New a.

MALCOLM ETLEY , Jfaitayin Editor PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, March 22 Vice President Wallace, just before he left, slipped a very fast ball past those who have been chal- lenging mo exira-noDie eco- n0mlc Plannln hls board of economic warfare has been doing for post war. The challengers in the sen ate finance committee decided the senate should establish a committee of Its own to work on economic post-war prob lems. At their instigation, Senator George wrote a reso lution calling for such an in- MALLON quiry and it was passed by the senate. The understanding inside the committee was that George was to submit to Wallace the names of men he wanted appointed by the Vice president on the committee. Unless the identity of the committeemen was. satisfactory to the challengers, they did not intend to go ahead with the investigation, and, by "satisfac tory," they meant men who held their own post-war views. But George failed to contact Wallace and the vice president appointed a top-heavy New Deal committee of his own crowd. The demo crats he chose were Barkley, Hayden, O'Ma honey, Lucas and Pepper, with George as chair man. This took the starch out of the whole affair. George is going ahead organizing a staff and intends to collect information on the subject mainly from other senate committees. But any hope that a real economic plan, competitive to Wallace's, might come out of the investigation has been lost. The seeds of post-war controversy are so imbedded in congress that it is beginning to appear almost impossible to develop an agree able plan either on the economic or the politi cal nature of the future world. Feeling runs so deeply on both sides that a great national poli tical strife in which the matter will be fought out bitterly seems unavoidable. When Senator Ball was working around the senate preparing the draft of his international police force resolution, the impossibility of find ing a common ground became evident. Even on his own side of the fence, he found so much variance in opinions, the resolution had to be changed constantly, and, in the end, no one seemed to agree with all of it. But on the other side, hard and powerful antagonism was developed immediately. The so called isolationists said flatly in the cloak rooms and to newspapermen, off the record, that the resolution would "stir up the League of Nations fight all over again." What may become the most historic political struggle in all history seems developing in Japanese Air Power M 'ARTHUR'S Air General Kenny brought to Washington the astounding suggestions that the Japs have more planes than we have In the south Pacific war theater. Our successes there have been accomplished only because we have superior pilots, better planes, and better tactics. But if the Japs se cure reinforcements, they may be able to cause us some trouble. MacArthur naturally would like to take of fensive action, but his General Kenny ran into some difficulties in his mission here. Simul taneously, a demand came from the British for more bombers needed to expand the attacks on the continent. These will be furnished. You may, therefore, look for constant ex pansion of the already unprecedented scope of air-raiding on the European front, but how much MacArthur will get is questionable. Russian Front Balanced HOPES for swift conclusion of the war have been dimmed somewhat by Hitler counter-attacks in Russia. The regained nazi ground is not particularly important, but the fact that he was able to muster about 300,000 troops for the drives is significant. At least a temporary balance was established on that front by the capture of Kharkov. The absence of action in the south is due to mud caused by spring thaws. Up to now, the ground has been frozen in the Kharkov area, but thawing will start there in a few flays. The Russians, however, are making moves in the north, which should be carried on suc cessfully in the next two weeks. Their drive to ward Smolensk has both momentum and power, and action below Lake Ilmen is likely to re lieve Leningrad. But the situation on the front, as a whole, is not subject to decisive interpretations. The cap turing and recapturing of various localities really only reflects the fact that both sides have substantial quantities of troops in reserve, and, by switching them from point to point, can gain superiority at practically any place of their choosing. Troops From France THE story lias been circulated that Hitler got most of his new troops for the Kharkov drive from France. It is true the number of nazi troops stationed in France has declined somewhat in the last six weeks. But these were not shipped to the Russian front. The troops used at Kharkov came mainly from the Balkans and other sections of the Rus sian front. 4 SIDE GLANCES nam. nn wr rata tnn."ia T. ro.o . mm.

Tuber of MiiitIi 15 who snys he Is a politician, but nftor reading his letter, I mil con vinced that as a statesman ho imiy be nblu to fill tlio position of pugo boy up ut SuU'iii but 1 doubt it very, very much, n.i a pugn boy must be up on his toes it nil times mid know wluil ho is talking uboutl As for tlio first pint of his letter, I am going to pass that up, as Mr. Hitler is spending a lot of money to have Unit sort o f propaganda spread tliroiiKliout this country for the purpose of creating distrust uml misunderstanding among our people. However, as a union man I must comment on tlio latter part of that letter. In tlio first place, Mr, Taber, who or what is your authority on the percentage of union men and women in tlio United States? We aro a nation of about 130,UU0,0II0 people. 31, 000,000 arc on the farms of the nation, 20,000,000 aro business and professional people, and 1 i percent aro in different institu tions of the stutes and govern ment. So what you have left arc peoplo who arc classed us the labor group, and I dure say you can not name ten In dustries in tlio nation today that are not union. Therefore, 1 say your fiKure of 12 per cent is cockeyed as every wife and child of a union man must bo counted as a member of union labor. Now, Mr. Tabcr, I do not know who you are or what your business Is, but 1 will In troduce myself In case you care to answer. I have lived in Klamath Falls since April 1, 1925, have raised and educated my two sons here In the public schools and gave them two years in college. I have been a union man for 30 years and hove made my living without having to ever enter into ony political Job where Mr. John Q. Public ever gave me a dime; therefore, 1 am free to speak what I think without fear of having to answer to anyone. Ever since the defense pro gram started back In lfMO, tory congressmen such as Hoffman, Dicr, Rankin, Fish, Smith, Cox, O'Dimicl, labor hating news papers, (I don't put the Herald and News In this class) subsi dized radio commentators, and would-be politicians havo tried to destroy the rights of organ ized labor. No falsehood tins been loo brazen, and no slander too scurvy for them to use to whip public hysteria against us. So f.-ir they have failed but now with a new hunch in con gress and wo know them very well the old gang is again set ting up the howl to lynch labor and pass laws that would wipe out almost the last vestige of ! freedom of the American work : er. Scarcely a day passes that some blatlier.skito docsn t rise In congress and pop off some fan tastic talo which the press makes glaring headlines of. And when they arc finully traced down, it Is found that they originated in Berlin and were passed along by some accom modating Naziphilos; for In stance, a senator recently told the people of this country that our fleet hud been wiped out, and that the Japs were having their own way in the Pacific. A congressman also charged Harry Hopkins with shipping beer, silk stockings and pow der puffs to our allies as part of our lend-lease another Hit ler story, and very readily pass ed along by our friend from Ohio. Another congressman (also a friend of ours) charged American union seamen had re fused to unload a cargo boat in Guadalcanal because their union rules would not permit them to work on Saturday and Sunday A DIRTY LIE as proven later by Investigation by' a special committee. Similar misstatements could be quoted, but why? I am merely trying to show the lengths to which these foes will go to create doubt and fear among our people. NORMAN C. MUSSELMAN, 2923 Kane Street.
