Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
IN an article In Sunday's Oregonian on post
war highway development, it is explained
that the atate highway commission proposes to
spend $12,000,000 on improv
ing the Pacific highway be
., tween Eugene and Ashland.
There then follows this
significant comment:
"Tills work will counter
act largely the advantage now
held by the
mi
pass highway, which is the
fastest and shortest route from
the Willametta valley to Cali
fornia. Of the through traffic
to or from California, 47 per
EPLEY
cent uses the Pacific highway and S3 per cent
takes the Willamette, traffic checks showed
recently."
This article, written on the basis of inter
views with highway officials, leaves no ques
tion that a huge and expensive attempt is to
be made to cancel the natural advantages en
Joyed by the Klamath Falls north and south
through traffic route.
And it leaves no doubt in our mind that
the time is at hand to launch the most vigorous
and aggressive highway policy for the Klamath
country. This policy need not necessarily op
pose developments on other routes, such as
that indicated in line for the Pacific highway,
but it must be based on a determined demand
for proper recognition and development of the
naturally advantageous north and south traffic
route through here.
Who Is Worried?
THE wording of the paragraph from the Ore
gonian article indicates that someone is
worried about the advantages now enjoyed by
the Klamath route and wants to counteract
them.
Is this an official attitude? Is' there any
more reason, from the standpoint of the gen
eral public and the state as a whole, to counter
act those advantages, than there is to extend
them?
In the list of projects "selected thus far"
for the huge post-war highway .spending pro
gram, the Oregonian article gave re-location of
The Dalles-California highway from Chemult to
Chiloquin Junction.
This project involves elimination of Sun
mountain grade and would play an important
part in keeping the Klamath Falls route in step
with highway development.
It is, however, only one of several major
projects of vital importance to Klamath which
should have a place in the post-war program.
So far as the Oregonian article was concerned,
it is apparent that emphasis was laid on pro
jects along the Pacific highway. The Oregonian
artists did not go to the trouble to place the
Chemult-Chilnquin project in a map that accom
panied 'the article showing leading post-war
enterprises in the state.
Mot a word has been said about carrying on
the important improvements on the Willamette
highway, and nothing is said about The Dalles
California highway north of Chemult or about
the other trans-mountain highways feeding into
it north of the Willamette.
We call attention to these things because
they indicate the necessity for constant vigi
lance in behalf of the proper development of
the roads of vital interest to us.
There is a lot of political and journalistic
power concentrated west of the mountains. The
metropolitan press sometimes indicates plainly
a lack of the vision to see across the Cascades.
If we don't plug vigorously for our side, we'll
be left behind.
That Route Name
IN this same connection, we again call atten
tion to the need for an appropriate name for
the highway route from Weed, Calif., to Goshen,
Ore., admitted by the Oregonian writer to be
the best and fastest route from Oregon to Cali
fornia. We favor the name: "Shasta-Cascade route."
The road crosses the base of Mt. Shasta, and
it crosses the Cascades. It is a most appropriate
name, and it has popular appeal.
It's time to get busy to popularize and pub
licize the routes through here.
Does anyone have any other name sugges
tion?? If they have, we'll be pleased to hear
from them. We're going to start a publicity
campaign in behalf of the chosen name pretty
soon.

WASHINGTON, June 14 War Mobiluer
Byrnes' appointments and actions arc
subtly working in the direction of taking over
control of all war production
and domestic economy from
the businessman element, in
government, In tho name of
Mr. Roosevelt.
The key to the recently
announced appointments was
the naming of Frederick
Stnrlesi 8n ousted Ebcrstadt
man (.ousiea oy uonaia nel
son from the WPB) to the post
of advisor on production to
Byrnes. This appointment
rather effectively forewarned Mr. Nelson and
particularly Mr. Nelson's energetic and dom
inating assistant, C. E. Wilson, that the new
Byrnes' top layer on the cake here will bear
down heavily on the businessman clement.
Substantiating this interpretation was Mr.
Byrnes' choice of a former secretary to Su
preme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter (Edward
F. Fritchard) to keep an eye on Fred Vinson
in the -office of economic stabilization, as an
assistant. ,
Fitting in also with this new picture was
the appointment of Bernard Baruch by Mr.
Byrnes as an official advisor with a desk in
the office. Baruch has always been Mr. Byrnes'
primary advisor, and, in fact, his godfather in
politics.
They arc fellow South Carolinans, and have
always worked together. But in this produc
tion situation, Mr. Baruch has largely sided
with the army and with the New Dealers
against the Nelson-Wilson influence.
The changes certainly mean that either the
army or the New Dealers or both will take
the directing controls hereafter to the diminish
ing influence of those who have headed the
war production effort heretofore.
Production has been an astounding success
even beyond the hopes of those who have
directed it. We have more than enough bullets
for every German and Jap already at hand,
and the output of tanks and other machines
of war has been so great as to actually consti
tute a problem of distribution in many lines.
The only items worth worrying about have
been big bombers and shipping.
Certainly the time has arrived when the
politicians think they can successfully take
over.
o
Bad Nerve Medicine
FIRST results of the Roosevelt-Churchill strat
egy conference are becoming apparent in
the new campaign to din the obvious facts of
the war situation into the axis mind in expecta
tion of forcing an early collapse. f
Every Churchill action since leaving Wash
ington is in furtherance of this new propa
ganda war of nerves. Reports from within Ger
many, which he submitted at the White House
meeting, obviously have stimulated the expecta
tions that the German will to war can be con
quered and crushed by confronting it daily
with the inevitability of its ultimate military
defeat.
Few military authorities here share Church
ill's hopes in this respect to th'e fullest, but all
are cooperating to give the experiment a full
trial.
The rouble is that this plan can only bring
results through a revolutionary movement
within Germany and Italy to overthrow the
clinging control.
Ordinary governments, in the face of the
military situation now confronting the axis,
would have collapsed long ago, but the militant
regimes in Berlin and Rome have such a
stranglehold on their people as to enable thera
to continue to exist even without popular sup
port. WLB Prestige Sags
THE question of the future of the War Labor
Board is being discussed within the New
Deal higher circle. Us prestige has suffered in
its dealings with John L. Lewis.
Some authorities expect it to be reorganized
or revised. Others wish to implement it with
new legal powers. It does not have legal author
ity commensurate with its responsibility. It
does not even have the power to subpoena. If
it had, it would have been able to compel the
attendance of Mr. Lewis.
Certain it is that the WLB will 'either go
up or out.
