Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
HEAVY wartime Umber cutting emphasizes
the need ior alert watchfulness for every
possibility of expanding or diversifying the in-
j i.i.i Mriom In tMc ii run
! There is a need for a real
i Istlc and analytical view of
ut aHiiBtlnn whinh Is nlllte
t common throughout the North
if west. War pressure is forcing
above-normal liquidation of
timber resources generally in
the region, and while some
new operations are starting up
tn heavily timbered districts,
some others, such as the
Algoma company here, are
closing down because the timber on which
these particular operations have been working
has been exhausted.
What must be done Is to make more, by
Intensification and diversification of manufac
turing, out of the Umber resources which re
main, and so far as this community is concern
ed, those resources are sUll extensive. So long
as the war demand for lumber continues, and
so long as war conditions restrict lumber manu
facturing expansions and changes, such a pro
gram is difficult if not impossible. But now is
the time to lay the groundwork through plan
ning, exploration of the possibilities, and de
velopment of vision and determination to enter
these new fields as soon as conditions will
permit.
Industrial prospects in this community are
not confined to those based on timber products,
although those will always be vital. Manu
facturing and processing plants based on var
ious phases of the big agricultural and live
stock industries of this section are strong possibilities.

Future of WRA Camps
THERE is apparent general agreement here
with General DeWitt's recently expressed
opinion that Japanese citizens and Japanese
Americans should not be permitted in the
coastal defense zones. The outspoken head of
the western defense command declared himself
emphatically on that point to a congressional
committee.
Recently, a rumor was spread here that a
plan was on foot to permit evacuees, now in
relocation centers at Tulelake and elsewhere,
to return to their homes and regular occupa
tions in the coast region. It turned out that
tills was strictly unfounded rumor, insofar as
any definite plan was concerned, but there
seems to have been some sentiment along that
line.
So long as this country is at war with'
Japan, such a move would be dangerous and
unwise. There Is no sure way to test the
loyalty of the evacuees. The FBI can check
their actions and their records, but the FBI
cannot look into their minds and hearts.
Under the present plan, numerous evacuees
who have been cleared by the FBI and the
military are being released Into areas removed
from the coastal defense zones. Others, whose
actions have made them definitely suspect,
are held under strict surveillance.
There is some opinion among those well in
formed on the war relocation situation that such
centers as the one at Tulelake have served their
purpose and may fold up in their present
function before the war ends. If all supposedly
loyal evacuees are to be released for work in
the interior, and all of the disloyal ones are to
be kept under guard, the type of operation now
conducted at Tulelake passes out of the picture.
Whether this will actually happen, of course,
is still a matter of- conjecture, and it raises in
teresting questions, in the immediate localities
of the camps, as to what will be done with
them. Huge sums were spent in their con
struction, and they represc-t accumulations of
extensive construction materials. Whether, if
they are no longer used as at present, they will
be dismantled, or turned to some other pur
pose, Is a basis for interesting conjecture.
Folkes Case
KLAMATH men returning from the Folkes
case trial at Albany commented interest
ingly on the lack of sensational local interest in
Linn county in the trial. A throng of outsiders
is on hand to watch the proceedings, and many
of these are obviously greatly concerned over
the outcome. But Linn county people general
ly are going prosaically about their business,
despite t.ie sensational events occurring in their
midst.
This is natural enough, and it points to a
phase of the Folkes affair which distinguishes It
from the usual sensational criminal incident.
This gruesome killing occurred In Linn county
by pure accident. It did not involve any Linn
County people, except that law enforcement
authorities there were forced by circumstance
to take it over. It did not concern any Linn
county locality, for it occurred on a moving
train; the physical surroundings of the crime

News Behind the News
By PAUL MALLON
A ASHINGTON, AprU 16 The administra-
VV tion's post-war and economic policies
seem to be- changing perhaps veering is a
better word.
Often in the past, Mr.
Roosevelt has used sailing
technique toward his objec
tives, tacking first to one side,
then the other. The perman
ency of current symptoms of
change is therefore not firmly
established.
Under Secretary of State
Welles, In his latest speech
did not again mention an "in
ternational police force." But
spoke of "preserving peace by force," which is
another thing.
Mr. Welles occupies a position greater than
his title and is a consummate classicist in the
use of diplomatic language. His moderation of
phraseology, therefore, must be considered sig
nificant, especially as he is handling much of
the duties of secretary of state these days.
This change reflects an inner realization down
through government diplomatic authorities that
developments of this war from now on will
have more to do with . making the post-war
world than any words that can be said now,
If Russia manages to accomplish the victory,
a wholly different set of. peace circumstances
may be presented than it the victory is wrought
Dy Anglo-American action.
Some authorities like Navy Secretary Knox
also are beginning to imply that it is more
Important for our post-war peace ior the United
States to hold bases in the Pacific than it is to
enter upon pious pronouncements of brotherly
love.
The island of Guadalcanal for which we are
fighting so heartily is few stop to think-
British possession. The airfield we have fought
so valiantly to defend would normally become
a ariusn airfield at the secession of hostilities.
In the future air world, it is obvious that
many Guadalcanal will be more essential to
the security of our shores than any other factor.
Russia Question
MR. CHURCHILL, in his recent statements,
has indicated Britain and Russia are get-
ting more and more together. If this proves
true in fact as well as word, another set of
post-war circumstances will confront us.
There appears no truth to the rumors that
Litvinoff might return home and thus offer
us a red diplomatic goodbye with eloved hand
Litvinoff has laughed off such suggestions, say
ing ne can do more good here.
bui certainly all these conditions make it
evident the post-war world will be fixed by
future negotiation, not by what Washington
umuais may nave wanted in the first place.
Domestic Policies
THE change in domestic economic policies of
I this government are clearer cut. The ad
ministration move to freeze prices and wages
at long last now carries a ring of sincerity
ana determination.
ii snouia nave Been done a year or more
ago, but the New Deal economists desired to
let wages run up, promising a freezing in the
ena. inis- now appears to be the end.
A peculiarly favorable political situation
furnishes weight to Mr. Roosevelt's freezing in
tentions. The John L. Lewis wage Increase
demands and the senate side-tracking of farm
bloc claims in the Bankhead bill have brought
the AFL and, even somewhat reluctantly the
CIO, into a new position of alarm against in-
nation.
Up to now, they have wanted to run wages
up. But with the farm Woo holding over labor's
head the power to increase prices (by passing
the Bankhead and Pace bills in congress at
anytime), the president has been able to gather
powerful labor and farm support for a firming
,ui me anu-iniiation policies.
Plane Production
OFFICIALDOM knows nothing more about
Russia's post-war intentions than you do,
Apparently there have been no conversations,
. . . The Lightning Interceptor (Lockheed
P-38, Twin Allison engines) plane has developed
a reputation as a super plane in the Tunisian
fighting. It climbs like Its name, practically
straigni up, is faster, and has better protection
than the nazl ships, and is classed as maneu
veraM Bugs have been Ironed out. Pilots
and war authorities class it with the Spitfire
and Flying Fortress as one of the three out
standing planes of the war . . .
..... .MacArthur's Air General Kenny and
others are supposed to be very much disappoint
ed with their Washington plane mission. Pro
ductlon is enough to furnish them the ships,
but the shipping situation Is tight. They say
the Japs are digging in everywhere in con
quered territory, and will be very hard to got
out if allowed to go on for some months.

Gold Seen as Best Way of
Settling World Balances
WASHINGTON, AprU 16 (P)
The United States has sold more
gold to foreign countries in .the
last two years than it has pur
chased. Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau told the senate
banking committee today.
He made this disclosure in
urging tlie committee to approve
legislation to continue another
two years the $2,000,000,000
stabilization fund and the presi
dent's powers to devaluate the
dollar.
The measure has drawn the
opposition of Senator Taft (R-O.)
who indicated he would lead a
last ditch fight against extend
ing such authority, originally
granted In 1034 and due to ex
pire June 30.
Morgcnthau said the stabiliza
tion fund had accumulated a net
profit which now exceeds $30,
000,000. During the 1842 fiscal
year, ho added tho fund sold
$644,000,000 In gold to foreign
countries and purchased $102,-
000,000. Thus for In the fiscal
year 1043 the fund has sold
$401,000,000 in gold and pur
chased only $27,000,000.
The fund's gold sales, Morgen
thau said, have been made to 21
different countries, adding:
"I know of no better means
of settling international balances
than with gold."
Two Notorious Prisoners
Escape From Georgia Jail
REIDSVILLE, Ga., April 18 prison, appeared at the sheriff's
vr) Led by two notorious oifice in iteidsvillo and surren-
Georgia escape artists, 22 pris
oners described by the warden
as "the worst we got," escaped
from Tattnall state prison early
today after overpowering three
unarmed guards.
Warden H. R. DuVall said
three of the prisoners jumped
on Guards B. G. Morrison, W. E.
Overstreet, and N. M. Splvey,
locked them in a cell, took the
prison keys and unlocked the
front gate.
After taking the guards' keys
they dismantled the prison tele
phone switchboard and pulled a
switch which plunged the prison
into darkness.
They stole two prison trucks
and a car belonging to Morrison
and fled. The alarm was given
snort time later, the warden
said, when a 23rd prisoner,
whom the warden believed may
have been forced to leave the
dered.
The others abandoned Morri
son's' car near Coggstown,' 14
miles northeast of Reidsville,
and resumed their flight in an
other stolen car and the two
trucks.
The break was led, Warden
DuVall said, by Forrest Turner,
30, who has escaped from Geor
gia prisons so many times that
tne records are confusing, and
Leland Harvey, 34, who has es
caped at least six times, and D.
C. Black, 31. These three over
powered tho guards, the warden
added.
Turner was serving long
terms for larceny, robbery and
kidnaping. Harvey was serving
a three-to-five year term and an
8 to 10 year term for larceny
and robbery, respectively. Black
was doing a 3 to 10 year term
for burglary.
