MALCOLM EPLEY Managing Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY AFTER sitting through a part of Saturday's hearing on retroactive pay for pine work erg, this scribe realizes more than ever how , involved labor relations have 6. . ' . In micimHf.rctanrllnff- tUllHOl, immviwt"i ...... .. legal technicalities, and vast it and intricate procedures that i would stump the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer. There is nothing simple about this business. One won ders how workers with work to do, and managers with man aging to do, function at all in EPLEY the all-important matter of pro ducing the goods. Nothing, It seems, is ever settled. The people affected by these matters, we gather, can never reach the point where they can say, "that's that" and then get down to business. For tomorrow "that" isn't likely to be that at all, but something else, and some question that appears closed today is likely to be wide open when the whistle blows in the morning. Under the circumstances, It is miraculous that production is what it is. These are critical times, and there is a need for eliminating every unsettling influence likely to distract from the essential Job at hand producing to win the war. Simplification, efficiency and speed are need ed in the settlement of all questions' involving labor, for the benefit of the worker and the manager. None of those elements seems to be present now. SIDE GLANCES He Would Blister 'Em A FRIEND of ours, who is a steady producer on the bandage folding line at the Red Cross workroom, said last night: "Boy, if I were editor of the paper, there would be a bigger crowd here tonight." What he meant, we presume, is that he would blister the local folks with such heated diatribes that they would turn out in droves to produce the bandages used on the wounds of our fight ing men. We immediately offered him all the space he can use on this page for that purpose, and we hope he takes his pen in hand. When he made the remark Monday night, a pitiful few were at work in the bandage room. Monday night is men's night at the workroom. ana whereas a few weeks ago 40 or more turned out and that is no startling number less than a score now work regularly on the bandage job. The men's class has a quota of 3000. Last month, the production was slightly over 1800. Many of the fancy talkers of the early days rtf thin wnrlr Ho not evun ehnw itn anv nni-o - - - ' .... Good Choice KLAMATH chamber of commerce directors chose a new director J. V. Owens for president for" the coming year, but that they chose well no one will question. Mr. Owens is a hard worker for every worthy public cause here, his most recent- contribution being a great job on payroll deductions In connection with war savings. He was elected to the chamber directorate for the first time last year, but he has done a great deal of committee work in the years past. The chamber needs sound leadership for the forthcoming war year, and Mr. Owens is certain to supply it. We Fear Fire FIRE is more to be feared In these times than ever before, because it destroys that which cannot be easily replaced. That fact is brought home to us forcefully whenever the red demon strikes in one of our Industrial plants, as it did at Tionesta Sunday. Manufacturing of ordinary machinery stopped some time ago, and destroyed equipment must be replaced largely by used machinery. When industry is running full blast to meet the war's demands, it is not easy to find idle machinery. The Shaw Lumber company, while fully pro tected by insurance against the monetary loss from a fire, faces difficulty in re-equipping the plant which, we understand, it is determined to re-build. Fire in the woods Is likewise of great ser iousness at this time, for wood is essential war material. Constant vigilance against fire is always important, but it was never more so than right now. A dangerous dry season lies ahead. a a a Cartoonist Ripley reports that W. E. Flxem runs a repair shop in Klamath Falls. We do not know Mr. Fixem and we do not find his name in the directory.

News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 11 Congressional fever has been running a little high over , the lavish entertainment activities of a lobbyist : trying to secure war contracts, i The well-known names of a lot of officials who broke his bread in a house he rented on millionaires' row IR street, Northwest) have been handed about freely. The trouble behind the story apparently is that the con gressional investigators have been unable to find that this particular lavish-spending lob- MAbbON byist got many war contracts, or undeserved ones of which there must have been many if the law of averages prevailed during the awards of these historic billions of war dollars. More successful lobbying is generally ac complished in a different way. If congress is really hot and bothered on the subject, it can look into the senate's own special silver com mittee and there it will find a silver lobbyist employed as its deputy clerk. He hired no big house. He moved into the senator's own office building where he occupies room 433A. The gentleman's name is James A. White, and when he is not clerking for the special silver committee, he is employed by the Rocky Moun tain Metals Foundation, with headquarters in the Barr building here. At a meeting of the subcommittee of the senate banking and currency committee (the Maloney committee) he sat by the side of the silver bloc leader, Senator McCarran (Democrat Nevada) and McCarran introduced one of his letters into the record. Silver Proposal THE bill beiore the committee proposed that the treasury sell some of its silver hidden away in the ground at West Point to industries for war purposes. It would not change the silver act or weaken the silver program. The treasury wants the bill to contain a provision allowing it to sell this silver at not less than 50 cents an ounce, but the silver bloc wants the bill to specify 71 cents an ounce 21 cents more. The silver boys do not want the committee to sell silver at less than the subsidy price which they imposed upon the treasury in their law of July 6, 1939. The matter of Mr. White's employment came up at that hearing. Senator Danaher (Republi can,' Connecticut) asked the conspicuous Mr. White at McCarran's side three questions: Whether he was on the senate payroll: whether he was director of the Rocky Mountain Foundation; and who supported the metals foundation. His answers were: , He was only a deputy clerk without pay in we senate employ as an assistant to the clerk of the senate silver investigating committee; that he was director of the Metals Foundation, and that the foundation is supported by mining companies interested in silver. The moral is that you do not need to hold thousand-dollar dinners for official social but terflies in Washington to do the most import ant kind of lobbying here that gets things done your way. Commander Roosevelt REPUBLICANS are getting a little perturbed at the frequency with which Mr. Roosevelt is mentioning the fact that he is commander-in-chief of the army and navy. ' He made a point of it In his broadcast with President Camacho, of Mexico. He mentioned it again in his radio talk on the coal strike. ' The politicos have therefrom developed the idea that the president may run for a fourth term not as president, but in his auxiliary capacity as head of the armed forces. In past history, presidential leadership over the army and navy has been largely technical, legal and unimportant. The actual command of both branches of the service was in charge of technicians. In this war, Mr. Roosevelt however- has exerted more than usual influence in strategy and managership of military movements. Common political assumption everywhere seems to be that If the war is on, Mr. Roosevelt necessarily would be re-elected in accordance with the above strategy. , This calls for an advance appraisal of public sentiment a year- j and-a-half hence, which is somewhat illogical. If we hava not won the war by November 1944, or do not hava victory at hand, public sentiment is likely to ba anything but favorable to the parties who have been conducting the war that far. It seems just as easv to nmnmo hn im patience and resentment against the leadership, even If presented as commander-in-chief, would by that time cause a political demand for new generals all the way up. It all depends upon the military situation at the time. From a purely political standpoint, it would seem far better for Mr. Roosevelt to have the war concluded In victory before the election. Then he could be Involved in the problems of peace and the argument of his Indlspensablllty for that purpose could be stressed under far more favorable auspices than If victory is then otmt wee av m ttrocg. me.

Head Sees Further Rail Traffic Gains Before War-Time Peak Is Passed Railroads are anticipating further increases in traffic be fore the peak of war-time re quirements for transportation Is reached, F. J. Gavin, president of the Great Northern, advised stockholders in the company's annual report, which has just been received here. The railroads' Immediate problem, he said, is that of re placing equipment that is wear ing out, and of obtaining neces sary materials, supplies and manpower. The problem, he warned, is continually becoming more critical. "During the past year," Ga vin said, "the railroad industry has confounded its critics and demonstrated an ability to handle an abnormally large vol ume of war traffic with the same dependability as in times of peace. "It is noteworthy that the railroad Industry, depending wholly upon Its own resources, rigidly regulated and heavily taxed, has discharged its obli gation so successfully to a na tion at war." The railroads, he said, had been able to handle the increas ed traffic Incident to the war while meeting civilian require ments for freigth and passenger transportation, and in addition had taken over the traffic which formerly moved by Inter coastal steamships. The Great Northern's freight traffic in 1942 was 63 per cent more than in 1929, and was handled with 300 fewer loco motives and 5000 fewer freight cars. Gavin attributed a large measure of the credit for this achievement to "the cooperation of shippers, the armed forces and the office of defense trans portation. "The railroad's capacity has been increased by expediting repairs, modernizing equipment, adopting numerous conservation measures, by the fine coopera tion of employees generally, and the extraordinary efforts of many of them." Despite advancing costs of materials and supplies, higher wages and taxes, the railroad s net Income, $29,054,021, was the largest In its history, and Mr. Gavin pointed out that this has helped the Great Northern "partially to recover from the setbacks suffered during the depression years." The Great Northern, during 1942, reduced its net funded In debtedness nearly $20,000,000, and spent $14,275,000 for addi tions and Improvements. Gavin, however, stressed the fact that it had not been possible to se cure all of the equipment and materials needed. From the Klamath Republican May 14. 1903 The school board has elected W. S.

Bronson, pastor of the Tule lake Community Presbyterian church spoke at a baccalaureate sen-ice Sunday evening to mom- bers of tho graduating class of the Tulelake high school. Using as his theme "Gift of God in You," the pastor remind' ed the 31 boys and girls that each individual is responsible for discovery, discipline and use of such talent, great or small that has been bestowed by the Creator. Application of that tnl ent for the betterment of man kind is a contribution that must not be neglected. As an Illustration, Rev. Bron son recalled the life of the prophet Elijah who was despon dent because of his belief that he was of no use to his people and who later became, through his efforts to turn his nation to Jehovah, one of the greatest of the prophets.
