Because not everyone here Is familiar with the Warm Springs route, we have tried In our own rough way to produce a doodle map In this column today that shows the location of the Warm Springs as well as the Willamette, and the place each road has In alternate routes from here to Portland. The comparative distances, according to the local chamber of commerce, are: Via Willamette, 301 miles. Via the Warm Springs, S13 miles. - While this shows a mileage advantage for the Willamette route, Bend people point out that the Willamette takes the motorist through the congested road system in the Willamette valley, while the route via Warm Springs Is through comparatively open and unsettled country. They . claim a driving time advantage of from one half hour to one hour for the Warm Springs route. a Timaly Suggestion IN OUR flush of enthusiasm over the Willam ette, which certainly has Justified that re action, Klamath people have probably over looked the slg-jp,, s V nlflcance of the Warm Springs jAr In recent years. A Warm Springs has not gone without atten-fV Hon from those who follow highway mat tars closely here, but the strongly advanc-s-ed Bend sug-i: IttSW .."'"""He tfitio routes V 4 a?.Wr i a sub--' f rTrr , funnel stantial volume of traffic into The Dalles-California highway, vitally benefiting Klamath. The Willamette 1s already doing this, and naturally and the biggest Job is a bridge over Mill creek The Willamette, as we have said, has been carrying general traffic for about three years, but there is important construction work yet to be done on the western end. The route follows a former county road through the Pleasant Hill country in Lane county, and the connec tion at Goshen is most inadequate for a traffic carrier of the Willamette's Importance. We do not have, at hand, the total cost of the proposed work on the west end of the Wil lamette. The highway commission, however, has recognized the need for this work by start ing some actual construction there. Post War Program BOTH the Willamette and the Warm Springs projects must have an important place in forthcoming highway development, both as fast through traffic carriers and in Intrastate traffic functions. From the Klamath Falls standpoint, the Wil lamette not only is a good route to Portland, but it is also an Important connection between the Klamath country and the Willamette valley, including the homes of our state schools and the state capital. The Warm Springs is also to be a fast, fav orable route from here to Portland. Its local significance to Bend is that it connects the Central Oregon country with the. metropolitan area more directly than does the present route around through Maupin and over the whole of the Wapinitia. The construction work on both route Is well removed from Klamath Tails, but we are vitally interested in both. Bend certainly is plugging hard for the Warm Springs, and Klamath has a right to expect Eugene interests to give solid support to the work on the west end of the Willamette, which it near Eugene and in Lane county. Both Jobs deserve Klam ath interest If all predictions of heaw hlshwav avrw.nrfi. tures in Oregon after the war materialize, both of these construction projects should be carried through to completion and both routes wiU then occupy their rightful place to the Oregon highway picture. We owe Bend a debt of graumae xor calling our attention anew to the aiftuuicance or we warm Springs. lean, ten ar imaitwsa. me. T: at tap, q a ear, oeiy "Dim t blame me!

Rayburn's "Grumblins" QPEAKER RAYBUHN, often mentioned as the a next Roosevelt running mate in Wallace's place, has made a Texas speech denouncing both criticism and critics of the administration, calling them "Grumblins." This followed by a speech from Senator Carter Glass, saying no criucize ine administration in war time. Apparently, the democrats are not only get ting ready for the fourth term, but are pre paring to shush anyone who says anything . ney not only want re-election, but their tactics suggest they are going to insist on no vocal opposition. If they can create an impression that Jt is unpatriotic or unwise for anyone to criticize the president or the administration, the election should be a mere formality. A Butcher in Politics CRITICISM, however, still goes on. A butch er in a leading Washington grocery store (one where Mr. Ickes sells his eggs)- has been following a habit of asking each customer if he would vote for Mr. Roosevelt for reflection. Then he always announces that, he, for one, Is not going to, and he will give, you a pretty good talk running from five to 80 minutes on his reasons. A Justice department agent called on him , e says, eitner to see if he is loyal or If he could be hushed. The Justice department man lost the argument. The butcher laid down this rule to him: "I am not saying anything about the war, to me31 Wrng' yU C,n,t d0 nrthln He Is still talking. This matter was settled at the outset of the Pom.,,?16 trU, diatlnct,on w" then drawn.

(This country now has more vice presidents than a New York bank.) But I'll say Mr. Wallace has changed too. By a heavy, violent speaking campaign in the farming mid west, now to be extended else where. He seems to be trying to re-establish himself as the rallying point for the utmost left wingers and the utmost internationalists. To me, he always will be the father of scarcity economics, the man who devised the plan to pay good treasury money out to farm erf for not growing things. I thought he was proud of it until I read his recent speeches. In those, he ardently denied being a scarcltlst and came out for utmost mass production in the post war world. His story was that his -killing of those little pigs was somehow less deplorable than the big steel corporations pig iron curtailment when there was no market It is a little mixed up, and no doubt Henry intends to keep it that way. Indeed, the story would go all right In the CIO labor headquarters of the east (where Wal lace seems to be) but how his metamorphosis as a mass productionist would go over with farmers still receiving his government benefit checks, I am not able to say. In general, his new line of goods, blaming everything, including his own scarcity econ omics, on the Invisible "corporations" is stand ard political stock in trade, which, if a little shop-worn, is still considered good stuff. But now he is going to Chicago to advocate the Ball-Burton-Hill-Hatch resolution a few days after Mr. Roosevelt told the country this is no time to argue over peace details but to get on with the war. Senator Hatch does not believe this Wallace move conflicts with the White House wishes, because he says Wallace is not going into details. Neverthless Wallace is an outstanding advocate for getting together with foreign nations now on a peace program Private Charged With Manslaughter y MOSES LAKE, Aug. 12 (Jf) The Moses Lake army air base announced today Pvt. Nelson Matsen of Philadelphia had been charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of Sgt William G.

He knew the customer, contacted him, and traded the greenbacks for the steak. Classified Ads Bring Results. By DaWITT MacKENZIE This column yesterday sug gested that one of the problems likely to be discussed in the forthcoming conference between Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill Is what policy will bring the best post-war cooperation among the United States, Russia and Britain in particular, and all the allies in general. This great issue, as I see It, contemplates the likelihood that the soviet union will emerge from the war the dominant power in Europe, and perhaps in the orient as well. That's the way the cards are falling at present Pressing Problem Now of course I don't know whether that subject will come before President Roosevelt and Premier Churchill. I just think it's so pressing that it almost In evitably must arise. Next to the winning of the war, there's' no question of greater importance today. Vice President Wallace pinned the thing down with startling bluntness last March when he declared: "Unless the western demo cracies and Russia come to a satisfactory understanding be fore the war ends, I very much fear that World War No. 3 will be inevitable." Everyone Aware Mr. Wallace isn't the only one wno foresees the possibility of conflicting interests. I found it au tne way from England, through the middle east to Chungking, during my recent 35,000-mile tour. Now on the eve of the allied conference we see this idea cropping up sig nificantly In the British press. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's newspaper, the Yorkshire Post, says Premier Joseph Stalin was Invited to attend the confer ence but wasn't able to accept The paper then warns that the "hour is at hand when it will be imperative for the United Na tions to nursue a unitpr! rnur not only with regard to military operations but equally with re gard to the polities of Europe." unity stressed The London Times "The Thunderer" stresses the neces sity for unity among the Amer icans, British and Russ ana. and gives as a gloomy alternative "a fresh calamity for Europe." Lord seaverorooKS London Evening Standard expresses regret at aiaiuvs aosence from the Wash. ington conference. The London Dally Herald says the time has come when Britain, America and Russia should be announcing with a single voice their pro gram lor the restoration of rut. iiticai lmerty to JBurooe." What's the exact nolnt of sll this anxiety as the war rushes toward its end. We et manv ex. presslons of fear but people seem to be terrified of taking a peep into the closet to see what's mere. No Dark Secret Actually, there's no dark se cret involved, and no reason why it shouldn't be discussed. Better understanding of the problem might help solve the difficulties if any. The point is that many astute observers throughout the world believe Russia will, as already stated, dominate Europe and maybe the far east. Because this would represent a volcanic po litical upheaval, a lot of coun tries are afraid of the conse quences. They are particularly fearful lest communism should be thrust upon them. Big Country Russia is the world's largest country in area, occupying one sixth of the earth's surface and having a population of nearly 200,000,000. It is virtually self- contained, possessing almost every natural resource known to man. It stretches from Europe clear through to the Pacific a two-continent empire. Already it possesses a titanic strength which potentially would seem to be unlimited. Militarily it's virtually impregnable. Its position as a military power has been established by sensational achievements on the battlefield. Domination All these circumstances com bine to make Russia heir to the polltico-economic-mllltary dom ination of central and eastern Europe which Hitler threw away when he started out to beat the world. The soviet influence in the far east long has been great, and the war will enhance it. So there in a very sketchy way are the fundamental facts of the situation. The problem is to work out some agreement among the major powers which will prevent the circumstances from developing adversely.
