Lot AngvlM MALCOLM EPLEV Mancffing Editor MALLON News Behind the News By 'PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, June 25 The race riots over the country (Beaumont, Los Angeles, Detroit, Mobile) are being watched from Wash ington with tightly drawn, silent lips, but with much in ner perturbation and comment. It has become customary for officials to lecture the hood lums on both sides about law and order, and the necessity for being calm in strained emotional periods of wartime, but this does not seem to be doing much good. It does not even reach in the direction of the causes or cure of the tragic, expanding condition. The ultra radical New York newspaper PM, and the CIO publications, which either insti gated or sensationally backed a movement, at the start of the war, to get the negroes full social and economic equality, swiftly, during the domestic upset contingent with the war effort, have taken the line since the riots that they are inspired by fascists. They mourned for a negro mother whose boy was killed by white hoodlums in Newark, ig noring news from a Georgia camp about one white MP being killed and five white soldiers maimed the same day, although all these men also presumably had mothers. One such edition of PM carried ten pages of exciting (if not inciting) pictures depicting the brutal, savage beatings of negroes, and only one picture of an injured white man. Their whole treatment of this humiliating situa tion for both whites and negroes, holds the white hoodlums solely responsible. Causes Traced . ONE of their writers suggests that the causa of the trouble can be traced solely to rumors, another says an incidental altercation of a white and negro inspired outbreaks, etc. Riots do not grow out of a rumor or many rumors, or even isolated incidents, but out of a general situation. First you must have an explosive general condition in which such sparks may ignite. The riots do directly serve the cause of the enemies of this country, but alert government agencies have come forward with no proof of a direct axis agent contact either with rumors or riots. No one seems to know the true cause of most of them. In one place, it is one thing; in another, another. But in all cases it is. a clash over the fights of negroes and, of course, the very same radi eal American sources who make these charges re the ones who are championing a reform of these rights to the fullest in the midst of war. Now no one is going to accomplish much ,good trying to talk common sense and truth in the midst of a swirling situation like this. Yet it will only make matters worse to blind the country to the truth of the condition. Any minority group of a white color In this county, attempting aggressive action to elbow its way to complete economic and social Justice in the midst of war, would run into the same thing which the radical negro movement has encountered. For instance, the white-collar workers have suffered great economic setbacks from the war. Their taxes and prices have risen tremendously out of all comparison with their increase in wages. slve manner, they would run into the same physical opposition. Any minority group of any color, in any country in the world during war, would en counter the same spirit. Consider what would happen, for instance, to a pacifist group, radical members of which made revolutionary speeches for their rights. It must be apparent, therefore, that the solu tion of these racial difficulties is not going to be found if the counsel of the radicals on both sides and their hoodlums is followed. A temperate course is demanded not only by one side but by both. Such a course can be directed only by active temperate leadership of negroes by negroes and of whites by whites. Wiser counsels must be made to prevail on both sides not just one. A Thrilling Project I1 N HIS interesting letter that appears on this page today, Captain Neil F. Black (formerly of Klamath Falls; now a medical officer with the 445th Bombardment Group at Wendover Field, in Utah) outlines an appealing project. As a medical officer he knows something about morale, and as an average, everyday citizen he knows the effect of music, especially band music, on the morale of marching men. Did you ever march in a parade? If so, you will remember that you were full of pep and pride and enthusiasm if there was a band somewhere up ahead, and, if there was no band you were just another footsore, tired guy who wished it was all over. Captain Black wants music. But his bom bardment group has no money with which to buy band instruments (for with all the prodigal expenditures of this war the army and the navy are sharply limited as to what they can have and what they can't have.) So he turns to his home town to see what can be done about it. His colonel, he says, has- made him an in teresting proposition. If the instruments can be secured, they will be taken along when the bombers of the 445th group go to war. They'll go everywhere the bombers go, and at every opportunity they'll be used to inspire and lift the spirits of the men who fly and service the bombers. At the end of the war, barring casualties that are unpredictable, they'll be engraved with a suitable inscription, showing where they've been and the service they've seen, and sent back to the donors. j SINCE writing his letter to this newspaper. Captain Black has discussed with members of the Klamath post of the American Legion the idea of 4 loan of some of the Instruments usea Dy me region g nation-xemous drum corps. The idea, he says, has appealed to those with whom he has talked, and it may be that a meeting of the post -will be called to consider the loan of the instruments.

Varicose Veins Treated With ijection, Ligation Dr. Masters' Health Column By DH. THOMAS D. MASTERS Written rfo NEA In wartime, when the full ef. fort of each person is necessary, preventable disability must be avoided. Much can be done la prevent disability due to vari cose veins. This condition is more common in women than in men, frequently follows preg nancy, ana is aggravated by varicose vein is sometimes so malnourished as to break down and form an ulcer.

No one has for gotten, or is likely to forget the snap and the precision of its drill maneuvers or the thrilling lilt of its music. In its heyday, it was known from one end of the Pacific Coast to the other, and was far from unknown throughout the entire country, pected to develop varicose veins Varicose veins are dilated, elongated veins, usually of the legs. The exact cause of vari cose veins is unknown. Many have noticed that they are more frequent in some families than In others, and therefore assume that the tendency, at least is inherited. They are also more common among the obese than those of normal weielit. The fact that varicose veins often be gin after pregnancy has led to the assumption that increased pressure on the veins in the pel vis may be a factor in their causation.

Pacific. island ' - - MUSIC FOR AIRMEN KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., (To the Editor) While at home for a few days' leave I should like to communicate with you about something of which I've been thinking the past few weeks. I am the surgeon for a heavy bombardment group. In such a group we have many men doing different jobs. All of them are straining to do these jobs to the best of their ability against the day when the bombers which they tend will be carrying their loads of men and explosives ovc the enemy. These men are all soldiers and are called unon to march in many reviews and formations. I have taken part in these during the past few weeks and there has been no march ing music. I find that my group is not given musical instru ments as part of its basic allowance. Have you ever noticed how a change comes over marching men when the band starts play ing? Their chins come up and their bellies come in and their backs get as stiff and straight as a 'tall pine tree. There is fire in their eyes. Personally, I would not like to tangle with wen a bunch of men right I VEINS BECOME VISIBLE These veins are first recog nized because they are plainly visible, as dilated, tortuous ves sels under the skin. Frequently, they are assicated with a sense of heaviness in the legs and an increased tendency to fatigue. Occasionally, there is sharp pain; more commonly, the dis comfort is described as a burn ing sensation or a dull ache. The discomfort is present during standing or walking, and is re lieved by lying down. Itching and sometimes even an eruption of the -skin of the legs may develop,. because of stagna tion of the blood and a resulting Impaired circulation. For the same reason, the skin over a skin. Both groups of veins are supplied with valvesv which nor mally prevent the blood from moving away from the heart. It is the superficial group of veins, lacking the support of surround ing muscle, that dilate, and along with this enlargement the valves no longer close and check the backward flow of blood. In the standing or sitting posi tion, the force of gravity pulls the blood down into the dilated vessel where it stagnates. This stagnant blood impairs the nor mal flow of the circulating blood through the legs, and results in a diminished supply of nutrition to the tissue. TREAT DURING PREGNANCY Varicose veins developing dur ing pregnancy should be treated prophylactically by rest, with the legs elevated during part of the day, and by supporting the veins with clastic bandages or stockings for sitting or standing The modern treatment by in jection, or injection and ligation, is highly successful in competent nanas, and is accomplished while tne patient is up and about. Thus, no time need be lost from work and much discomfort, disability, ana time may be saved. It's Patriotic to Keep Well . Read Dr. Masters' daily advice on matters of health. about that time because they'd drums, since they are be a tough bunch to cross. and could be carried Musical instruments are hard 'easily by plane. to get inese days, almost inv possible to find, in fact, and I wonder whether you might have a suggestion as to how we might obtain some. Perhaps you may know of some organization which would like to enlist its instruments for the duration. I spoke to my colonel the other day about this and he promised me that if we could get instruments he'd see that they would get space in the bombers when we go to war. As you know, that means that he, too, feels music is import ant. He suggested that a suit able engraving should necessar ily be placed on each instru ment and that every precaution would have to be taken to pre serve them and return them to their owners at the end of the war when the men were dis charged. Of course, Instruments might be lost or destroyed just as sold iers are in a war, but that's a chance that would have to be taken. I should appreciate any ideas which you have as to how we might obtain musical instal ments, especially trumpets and Sincerely yours, JIEIL F BLACK, Captain, Medical lighter more Corps Mitchell Bombers Blow Up, Fire Jap Base in New Guinea ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN AUSTRALIA, June 25 (PI Five hundred pound bombs dropped from Mitchell medium bombers blew up buildings and started huge fires yesterday at the Jap anese base of Salamua, New Gui nea. A spokesman at headquarters of Gen. Douglas MacArthur said today the bombs fell among "considerable" air Installations. Salamua is on the Huon Gulf only 12 miles above the jungle sector where Japanese and al lied troops frequently have en gaged in patrol clashes. Today's communique said the Japanese troops in that sector have suf fered over 200 casualties this week in futile attempts to crack allied lines. Allied losses were described as "very light in proportion."

Then he smiled and 1 shouted, "L a r r yl Whero'd you spring from?" "The South Pacific," Larry said. "That so. Meet any trouble down there?" "Plenty of it, conch. And If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be hero. I want to thnnk you for what you did for me." "I Just don't follow you, Larry" I said. "Well, you mado mo Uvirn to swim, didn't you? In tha battle of Midway, our big ship was torpedoed. 1 man aged to swim to a Ufa rn(t. Was I glad you made mo learn to swim here at Berke ley high school!" I smiled. "But coach," Larry continued, "there, were too many fellows on our ship that couldn't swim. They didn't get to the life rafts." It was the same old story again. Stories like the one above, wo have heard all too many times, stories about boys i n the navy, i n the marines, in the army, who couldn't swim. (The above excerpt was taken from a current magazine.) Not more than 10 ner cent of the men in our fighting forces are expert swimmers. Of the other 90 per cent, a small number- can swim a llttlo. but the groat majority cannot swim or wouia do unable In an emergency to handle themselves sufficiently well to save their lives. A swimming survey was made this spring in tho Klam ath Union high school. From this survoy wo obtained the following data: 35 per cent of the senior boys could not swim. 27 per cent of the Junior boys could not swim. 29 per cent of the sophomore boys could not swim. 17 per cent of the freshman boys could not swim. It Is doubtful if 10 per cent of the group that can swim are expert swimmers and very few would be able to remain afloat for a five-minuto period. Seventy-five per cent of the senior graduates will probably be in the armed service within six months. Thirty-five per cent of these boys cannot swim at all and very few of these arc of the 10 per cent class that are expert swimmers. What will happen to these boys if an emergency should arise where they are required to save their lives by swimming. This past spring the boys slcal education department (It tho proposed measure to lovy a tux lor tho purchuso o( Sutler's Niitutorluin is desired by the voters) to give swimming In structions to all students and to make It a "must" for all graduates.

This lame enrollment proves ulso that the parents of the boys and girls realize the Importance of swim. ming as a prevention of a water disaster. , Swimming as a body builder of strength, endurance and gracefulness is not surpassed by any sport, I sincerely hope that the vot ors will Justly consider the youth of our community when the proposed tax measure is voted upon June 28.
