today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
AN Interesting part of our job is provided by
the many local people who call us up,
write u, or come in to see us to express their
opinions on some issue or in
cident. Such calls are always wel
come, whether the caller
thinks we ought to do some
thing about the matter he has
chosen for conversation, or
whether he or she just wants
to blow off steam and calls us
vp for that purpose. These
calls, we believe, provide a
cross-section of public opinion,
, - . 4V. hrlncr ir, lisht
ana oiicn --;: ... ,.
interesting or important details we woum
Thisobservation was inspired by three tele
phone calls we received Just as we sat down
to pound out today's column.
One was from a local railroad man, who
complained about the telephone surveys that
are so common nowadays.
This man works 16 hours a day, and he
obviously needs all his time at home for sleep
ing That time happens to be in the mornings,
and this morning he received two calls from
persona conducting these telephone surveys. The
tingling telephone woke him out of his much
seeded sleep, and when the second one oo
turred, he was considerably and justly annoyed.
. He remarked to us that he believes many
other night workers are similarly harassed by
people, who call up and want to know what
kind of soap the family uses, or whether the
radio is turned on at the moment, etc.
We have had a good many of these calls,
and they have never been annoying because
they came when we had plenty of time to
answer and were not trying to sleep. The tele
phone survey folk probably do not realize that
to many people in these three-shift times a
call in the middle of the morning is like one
in the middle of the night to them. But it's a
fact.
We received two calls within five minutes of
each other from local women who called our
attention to the sports story in last night's
paper announcing that Pelican baseballers are
going to play the Japanese team at Newell Sun
day. Both women have sons in the armed forces
one son is a prisoner of the Japanese and
both objected to our local lads "hob-nobbing"
with the Japanese evacuees even to the extent
of opposing them in a baseball game.
This touches on a subject about which there
will be good deal of discussion and feeling as
long as the war relocation center is operating
in this area. The expressions from our women
callers represent a considerable portion of pub
lic opinion. It is clear that the evacuees at
Tulelake will never be accepted into the normal
relationships of the basin community, and that
will probably hasten their removal, voluntarily
or otherwise, once they are permitted to go.
OWI Gets Hoyt
WE look for constructive results from the
choice of Palmer Hoyt, publisher of the
Oregonian, as domestic director of the Office
of War Information.
Mr. Hoyt is a practical newsman who is
both loyal and aggressive. We believe his
opinions lie strongly in the direction of the
free flow of information and against unneces
sary secretiveness and censorship. The. Ore
gonian has been critical of delay in the release
f news about the war.
For us in the west, it is fortunate that a
Western man has been given a position where
be can express the western viewpoint in mat
ters of the greatest national importance.
Salute
WHEN our friend and associate, Justin Mc
Donald, was recently commissioned a
lieutenant (jg) in the navy, he was naturally a
bit modest about his first local appearance in
his spanking new navy uniform. He took an
early morning train for the south, with only a
few acquaintances on hand to look him over.
As Jus was bidding farewell to his wife, he
saw out of the corner of his eye a navy officer's
uniform approaching. Not knowing exactly
yet what might be required of him, he hastily
got on the train.
Later, he has written back, he found out that
the other officer was none other than Tom
Stoddard, ex-Klamath county boy and an ac
quaintance of McDonald's. Tom, too, was a
newly commissioned navy officer, and no more
accustomed to his uniform and navy etiquette
than Jus. The two had a good laugh when
they got together on the train.
All of which reminds us of a yarn told in the
New Yorker about a man who, because of
technical knowledge, found himself newly com
missioned a major. He had hardly gotten into
his uniform when he was ordered to take a
train. In the busy station he kept out of the
limelight, but presently he could not avoid
passing a young soldier whose appearance indi
cated definitely ht was no newcomer to the
service,
The major realized the man would salute
him, and he knew he would have to return the
salute. He did so, briskly as his embarrassment
would permit, and it was not until he had got
ten on his train that he realized he had re
sponded smartly with the Boy Scout salute.

MALLON
News Behind ihe News
By PAUL MALLON ,
WASHINGTON, May 18 For a man who is
supposed to be despised by the govern
ment, John L. Lewis has received the nicest
possible treatment from it inp-
ntue ways.
In fact, he has been getting
New Deal than many of its jiV ?vaC 1
best friends.
After all those naughty
words he called the war labor
board and the clearly con
temptuous attitude he took
against it, refusing to appear
at its hearing of his case, the
board could not have been
more considerate of him if he had been a
friend of Mrs. Roosevelt.
If an employer ever politely challenged the
board and mildly refused to appear, he prob
ably would lose his business and his property.
It so happened in the Toledo railway case. Mr.
Lewis lost nothing.
In appointing a panel to hear his case, the
board went out of its way to ask Mr. Lewis
to submit three names of persons from whom
one could be chosen to represent the labor
side. Mr. Lewis snubbed the board again,
refusing to name anyone.
The board nevertheless appointed D. B. Rob
ertson, of the Railway Brotherhoods, to repre
sent him. An employer is never asked by the
board to suggest a man to represent him. The
board always appoints one.
But, as if this were not representation
enough, the board also appointed Prof. N. P.
Feinsinger as a sort of devil's advocate, an
arguing lawyer for Mr. Lewis in absentia.
Nothing like this was ever done before.
The hearings as a result assumed a unique
tone. When operators made any point, the
board would turn to Professor Feinsinger (Uni
versity of Wisconsin and an employee of the
board) to see what Mr. Lewis thought about it.
.Apparently all that Professor Feinsinger knows
about what Lewis thinks is in the record of the
Lewis negotiations with the coal operators in
New York.
Prof. Feinsinger thereupon would thumb
through those hearings to a certain page and
announce that according to what Mr. Lewis
once said to the operators, his position was such
and such.
Nobody laughed. Washington Is a very hum
orless place these days.
Walkout Betting
OVER the last weekend, betting was running
three to one that Mr. Lewis' miners fully
intended walking out again when the Lewis
truce ran out Tuesday night. They let the
government know their intentions.
The same odds then prevailed that if the
government again called the miners back to
work, they would go but not much work could
be expected of them.
Republican Tariff Tactics
THE republicans did not say all they thought
of the Hull trade extension in the open
debate. The top-heavy house vote of approval
(342 to 65, with 145 republicans joining in
favor) may have suggested that they are split
ting on their historic tariff policy.
This erroneous off-hand conclusion has been
strengthened by the surface indications that
National Chairman Spangler upset Republican
House Leader Joe Martin's plans of opposition
with a public letter. It did not happen that
way.
Republican tactics wera due to a common
understanding amongst them. There is no for
eign trade now. If they defeat Mr. Roosevelt
next year, they will make whatever tariff
policy they desire when trade is resumed.
If they do not succeed in defeating the fourth
term, there will be nothing they can do to
stop the Hull methods. Therefore, they merely
made a record of opposition in a rather routine
way to await the outcome of the elections.
Neither did Mr. Spangler upset Mr. Martin's
baby. The Spangler letter of opposition was
dated last February 23, and it was in the
form of a private note to Representative Bald
win (R-N.Y.). Mr. Baldwin did not consult
Spangler before making it public 12 weeks
later in the house debate.
In fact, when OEWsmen called Spangler's
office to ask if he had written such a letter,
he said he had not, and did not remember
it until his secretary found it "by rummaging
through the files.
No hard feelings were left between Spangler
and Martin. They had dinner together the
same night the letter was made public, although
the engagement was made several days earlier.

' WASHINGTON, May 18 (JPh
If your income is less this year
than in 1942, how would you
fare under the senate's pay-as-you-go
income tax plan?
If you're an average taxpayer,

senate's bill asB 'J'S
compared with'
the plan passed
by the house.
The senate finance committee
wrote -in a special provision to
protect the average person enter
ing the armed forces, but for any
other average individual whose
Income this year is smaller than
1942, Its plan would mean he'd
have to pay his 1942 tax liability
instead of the 1943 income basis.
Such persons are lumped with
the big taxpayers under the
"anti-windfall" provisions of the
plan, which generally speaking
provides for payment of either
1942 or 1943 taxes, whichever
are higher.
This marks a departure from
one of the principles the Ruml
plan backers advocated: that
when an individual's income
stopped or was cut, his tax
would stop or be shaved down
accordingly.
The committee, of course, was
shooting at big taxpayers In
writing this provision as well as
others for recapturing taxes on
upper bracket income of persons
making less this year than in
1942.
Under the house bill, the aver
age taxpayer whose income stops
or Is reducfed this year would
benefit along with others

payers) and so would be
brought up-to-date: his 1943 tax
would be geared to his 1943 In
come.
As to individuals of average
income going into the armed
forces, either the senate or
house plan would mean the same
things:
A man who goes into the
armed forces now before pay
ment of his June installment
will have until six months after
his discharge to pay up that in
stallment, which would approxi
mately cover his tax liability.
A man who goes into the
armed forces after payment of
his June installment will be up-to-date
on his taxes unless he
had a whopping income last
year and will have no tax debt
hanging over him.
The senate wrote in a change
affecting the man or woman in
the services: It would exempt
from taxation $1500 of service
pay over and above the regular
personal exemptions. The house
bill would exempt service pay
up to $3500.
The house bill would cancel
taxes owed by members of the
armed forces who die while in
active service, but the senate
measure would limit such can
cellation to taxes on earned net
income.

Most every ono has a son

Every time you go up town
you see dozens of women loafing
around the stores killing time
and some ploy cards moat every

Think this over, women, and put
