enough, Is largely agricultural.
I Malin is one of the best and
vrt nrnsncroin agricultural
communities in Oregon. It waa
I founded on the solid founda
tion of sood natural resources
and hard work by a colony of people of Czecho
slovak descent.
When those people moved to Malin, they
were told that even rye would freeze out
there, and that there was no hope for crop
farming. They were not discouraged, they
worked hard and what Malin produces now and
the return it receives for its products make
those sad prophets of 1908-09 look haywire,
indeed.
. Those who have attended annual meetings of
the Malin chamber of commerce talk for weeks
afterwards about the food. Monday night's
repast was up to the high standards set In past
years, although it came in the shape of a
buffet supper near midnight Instead of the big
dinner of peace-time years.
There was a plentiful supply of unusually
fine pastry that outlasted the appetites of a
hungry crowd of about 150. Klamath Falls
people went home carrying what was left in
paper bags supplied by Malin's remarkable
mayor, A. Kalina. That, friends, is hospitality
plus.
Thrilling Story
HOW the Klamath Falls Commandos' wound
ed fighters' project is regarded at the Mare
Island navy hospital was learned first-hand by
Mrs. Louis Serruys, Commando mother, on a
visit to the hospital last week.
Mr. Serruys Is home with a story that should
make the home town thrill with pride.
She says she was escorted throughout the
hospital by the head of the Red Cross station
at Mare island. She talked with doctors, nurses
and wounded men, and their praise for the
Klamath Commandos and for the community
that is supporting their efforts is still ringing
in her ears.
Men throughout the hospital had heard of
the Commando program of bringing wounded
men here for a few days' change from hospital
atmosphere and a taste of local hospitality. The
six marines who were recently here followed
Mrs. Serruys about, telling her again and again
about the wonderful time they had here.
The physician who selected the four sailors,
here now as guests of the Commandos, for the
local visit, told Mrs. Serruys these men were
chosen because they were the most deserving
and because they had done the most for their
country.
Mrs. Serruys came home convinced the Com
mandos have hit upon an idea that is an out
standing war service that will long be remem
bered by the brave men it benefits.
Highway Education
BOGUS DALE of Klamath Falls thinks that
even in war years work should go on in
educating an allegedly ignorant public about the
coastwise highway system.
On a recent visit to California, he picked up
a card put out by a Redding cafe. On the back
are printed "distances from Redding," which, to
the casual reader, indicates that the only way
to get to Portland and Eugene from Redding
is by way of Pacific highway No. 99. Accord
ing to the card, you go by way of Klamath
Falls to Crater lake and Bend, but nowhere
else.
Down In that country, Mr. Dale met a woman
driver at a service station, and she remarked
she was on her way to Portland. He asked
her about the route she was taking, and she
replied she knew of no route except by No. 99.
Mr. Dale got busy and did some selling on
the Willamette highway route into Portland.
When he met this party again at McCloud
junction, he was told that his advice had been
officially confirmed. So it seems that some
one down there knows about the better roads.
Klamath does need to keep up its highway
education program. The center of dismal ignor
ance about roads through this part of the state
is still in Portland.
Wild-Eyed Suggestion
WE SUPPOSE it would shake the OPA
right up to Washington, D. C, if the
local ration board at Klamath Falls should
happen to be housed right along with the dis
trict OPA office, but in many ways such a
move would make sense.
There is some shunting of people back and
forth from one office to another, because both
offices are dealing with the administration of
the same law and tho same multifarious regu
lations. If the offices were in the SBme build
ing, everyone having anything to take up about
OPA would simply go to that building. There
and
might even be some saving In expense
manpower in receiving these visitors.
Then there is that matter of telephones. The
OPA district office has 33 telephones; the local
ration office, which deals with the local public,
has one telephone, and it is one of the busiest
in town. We know; we tried for two hours to
get the ration office on the telephone this morning.

News Behind ihe News
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, March 23 It is not too
much to say that the Ball-Burton-Hatch-Hill
rcsolvcrs for an internationalised world
were surprised and disappoint
ed at the reaction their reso
lution received in the senate.
They say so themselves, In
private.
The plans for hastening a
senate declaration on the sub
ject have therefore cooled
somewhat, not in the sense
that those of this particular
school of thought intend to
abandon their ideas, but cer
tainly to the extent that a
cool, calm, unhurried debate nowv seems in
prospect.
This is especially true since the British
foreign minister, Sir Anthony Eden, expressed
his views on the subject in executive session
with the house foreign affairs and senate for
eign relations committees. No one asked Eden
straight out if he liked the Ball resolution.
That question was primarily in the minds of
most of the senators directing inquiries to him
from both sides of the fence.
Also, this is one of the few secret sessions
of any character held in Washington in recent
weeks from which conflicting accounts have
NOT been related to the press by the partici
pants. All present seemed agreed on what he had
said. Anyone must therefore assume as authen
tic the anonymously announced statement of
his position, namely that territorial and bound
ary questions should be left for settlement after
the war; that the four big powers would have
to settle these questions then by negotiation;
that the ideal of all of us is collective security.
- To make the Ball-Burton-Hatch-Hill resolution
conform to this, most of ' the specific recom
mendations which have bean advocated by Vice
President Wallace and Under Secretary of State
Sumner Welles would have to be eliminated.
The final phrase denouncing territorial aggrand
izement would have to be stricken out and,
presumably also, the international police force.
While Eden said nothing specifically on the
latter point, it is the administration's working
basis for internationalized security, and the
whole of Eden's tone counselling delay was .at
variance with it and the entire resolution, which
primarily would require an international con
ference now to settle these and other problems.
Offer Common Ground
THE Eden talk, therefore, as represented,
seemed to offer the first sight of a com
mon ground upon which opposing factions in
the senate might meet. By stripping the reso
lution of its controversial features, it might be
rewritten to' express ideals which are common
to both sides. ' As Eden expressed them, they
seemed to be acceptable to both.
At least this seems to be about the only thing
that can be done with the situation at present
in consonance with the primary purpose of
winning the war. A knock-down, drag-out
fight certainly would serve no good war pur
pose. Another sign of settling dust on this sub
ject was the little-noticed, announcement from
the White House that a committee headed by
State Secretary Hull is to meet with the presi
dent weekly on post-war food, relief, and re
habilitation problems (most of which Mr. Wal
lace seems to have been counting as ex
clusively in his bailiwick),
a
Practical Men
ON THE committee are practical men, who
know the problems. None is known as a
political theorist who might handle food, relief
and rehabilitation from the political rather
than a realistic feeding, relieving and rehabili
tating standpoint. By this observation, I mean
to contrast them with Mr. Wallace's advisors,
led by Milo Perkins.
In the group are Welles, Red Cross Chairman
Norman Davis, Dr. Isaiah Bowman, of Johns
Hopkins university, Myron Taylor, the presi
dent's representative to the Vatican, and Dr.
Leo Pasvolsky, special assistant to Hull.
The promise of weekly meetings by the presi
dent with such a group puts at least temporary
emphasis on the other foot.
If the feeding is to be left in the hands of
such a committee, it is reasonable to expect that
they will not spoon out political doctrines of
new world theories along with the soup. On
the rehabilitation side, it must also be accepted
that they would rebuild what they find neces
sary and not, for instance, rebuild the whole
world under a Keynes economic theory which
holds that the spending of money by govern
ments Is good whether they have the money or
not, or whether anyone is really in need.
SIDE GLANCES

Sheriff Arrests Two
For Cattle Theft
' LAKEVIEW LBst Saturday
H. A. Casiday and Hugo Leyva
assisted by Evan Hartln and M.
D. Hixon arrested Oran Van
Dyke and Gordon H. Flock for
stealing a steer from William
Klttridge at his Summer Lake
ranch.
These men were charged by
Robert Welch, district attorney,
with larceny of the steer and
both made statements admitting
they were guilty. They were tak
en before Judge Combs and
waived grand jury hearing. They
were taken into court and en
tered pleas of guilty, VanDyke
was sentenced to five years and
Flock to 10 years.
A Georgia burglar posing as a
plumber was caught. Perhaps
because he forgot to foract his
tools.
We won't have to worry any
more about why a chicken
crosses the road. With the meat
shortage, it won't even get to
the curb.
Malin Chamber Meeting Is
Successful War Bond Sale
About 40 Klamath Falls peo
ple went to Malin Monday night
to attend the annual meeting of
the Malin chamber of commerce,
which turned at the end into a
highly successful war bond sell
ing event
Captain Jack, the bond-selling
bantam rooster, was auctioned,
and sales hit the $10,000 mark
in exactly 10 minutes. Final pur
chaser was M. M. Stastny, Malin
farmer, who turned the rooster
back to the war savings commit
tee for further auctions.
Principal visiting speakers of
the evening were President
Mitchell Tillotson, Secretary
Earl Reynolds of the Klamath
chamber of commerce, and Wally
Moss of the AFL war savings
workers.
Reynolds reported on a recent
trip to Washington, Tillotson
discussed the national economic
situation and the part war bonds
play in working out economic
problems, and Moss told of union
labor's drive to put over the
$500,000 war savings sub-chaser
campaign in Klamath county in
March and April.
President Ted DeMerrltt of
the Malin chamber told of cham
ber work In the past year, re
porting a membership In the or
ganization of 125. He said the
chamber had worked on freight
rates, assuring a continuance of
adjusted rates from Malin, and
also on keeping in touch with
Malin men in the service.
He announced election of di
rectors of the chamber. John
Reber, DeMcrritt, Dick Henzel
and James Ottoman were elected.
Two more vacancies were to be
filled, but to do this It will be
necessary to run off a tie among
three other candidates.
War sayings workers present
from union labor included G. C
Tatman, Joe Willis and C. O.
Dryden. Andrew Collier and
Verne Owens of the county war
savings committee participated,
Owens auctioning Captain Jack.
After the business meeting,
two films were shown by An
drews Street, and the largo group
then partook of a buffet supper
provided by the Malin chamber
with Mayor A. Kalina in charge.
As a final feature of the eve
ning, a cake baked in tho shape
of a lamb by Mrs. Henzel Sr.,
was auctioned and brought $80
for the Red Cross. Final bidder
was Mrs. Dan Liskey.

LABOR AND WAR EFFORT
KLAMATH B'AIXS, Ore., (To
the Editor) (Continuing an
over-lonuth letter started yestor
day) Now, Mr. Tuber, why such
a wholesale attack on oi'KnnlziHl
labor? Is lubor faillnii tn coup
orato with Ihe war effort? Arc
unions hampering production?
Aro wo doing anything disloyal?
I go out in tho railroad y nrcls

who ,huve buon working only h
couple of weeks mill don't Ituuw
how to got off or on the curs or
engine; still, 1 go ahead 11 ad do
their work and my own Just to
keep the stuff moving to help
win the war, and imiyho bring
my son homo sufo. I don't have
to do this. I could, according
to our union rules, demand ex
perienced helpers; but I do not.
My son was an experienced
switchman when he Joined the
armed forces of our country, and
I do not think 1 am doing too
much by doing part of his work
so ho mny go and do his part
over there.
Enough local neWs. Let us
toko a peep down at Washing
ton D. C.,' and see what some
people have to say.
Just recently Robert P. Pat
terson, undersecretary of war.
himself a former Wall street
lawyer and far from a labor lov
er, said; "In all America, labor
has demonstrated in tho first
year of the war that it has the
courage and the spirit which in
spires our fighting men; niul the
determination that will sec the
conflict through to victory today
on the production line. Ameri
can labor is hurling back at the
axis the war our foes brought to
the United States."
Donald M. Nelson has time
and again paid tribute to the all
out effort and cooperation of or
ganized labor.
Henry J. Kaiser ascribed Ills
achievements primarily to the
devoted effort of labor and its
wholehearted cooperation that Is
the prime force under the entire
output, ho said. Henry J. Mor
genthau declared labor buys
more war bonds than any other
group in America. One of the
greatest sacrifices In history was
made by the family of a union

Above Is a picture of a steering gear for army cargo and
passenger ships built at the Klamath Iron Works In Klamath
Kails. This steering gear- Is built In two sites with a 3 IIP unit
for ships of the 90' and lH' class and 5 HP unit for the -to'

It Is commonly called, Is so built as to bo elthrr motor driven
or, In case of power failure, to be operated by hand. A dual
power control panel Is furnished to make. tho unit complete. The '
stfccrlng gears are being furnished to many ship yards on both
tho Atlantic and Pacific coasts, according to Waller Beane, head
of the local iron works.

stating Ilamhlsel had seen the Klamath Iron name piste on

Why, In Ihe face of such an
unchallenged record by organ
ized labor do certain Interosts
keep pounding away at us and
dumnndlng that we be crushed.
Perhaps the best clue Is given
by one from our own state.
Wayne L. Morse, public member
of the national war labor board
and dean of law at our Univer
sity of Oregon:
"Current criticism of unionism
stems In many cases." Ho said;
"From hysterical fear that an
awakening of the American
working man to the advantage of
collective bargaining will rend
from tho grasp of these few crit
ics tho wealth and power which
many of them have so Improper
