MALCOLM EPLKY Managing Editor EPLEY Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY WHEN state highway commissioners come to Klamath Falls Friday they will be presented with three-fold highway program , which, in the opinion of public t jrt0.' and civic officials here, snoum fv?i proceed as soon as is feasible w.';: V nnHsr war and oost-war condi- tions. The- Klamath country auali- ,1 i fies-for important highway construction because ot u present and potential economic development, (2) its scenic at tractions for tourists and (3) its Dosition on highly import ant through routes, both north- south and- east-west. (The numerals are ior clarity, and not to indicate order of import ance.) - It is inconceivable that any highway develop ment program for Oregon wUl ignore these obvious factors, and Klamath interests can pre sent their projects with the assurance that they are worthy of the most careful and sympathetic consideration. They can and should be backed to the finish. these projects will be presented as one uni fied program, with unified support, but they naturally fall into three departments state primary highways, state secondary highways, and projects of particular interest to the city of Klamath Fails.. . . Today, we will outline only the primary high way projects, and a discussion of the others will follow in other installments of this column, . ' The Dalles-Calif ornio FOLLOWING a recent conference at Gilchrist ' with Bend representatives, Klamath people placed The Dalles-California highway develop . ment in the No. 1 spot on the state primary program. This is the great arterial highway (U. S. 97) which runs north and south through Oregon just east of the Cascade range. It is part of vital through routes connecting the big metro politan areas both north and south of us. South of Oregon, it runs to Weed where it joins the Pacific highway, No. 99. North of Oregon, it extends through Central Washington to the Canadian line at Oroville, and it offers for the future an important connection with the Alaska highway. Funneling into The Dalles-California highway in Oregon are several important cross-Cascade routes, including the Willamette, the Wapinitia, the Santiam and the Greensprings highways. The Willamette and Waninitia especially go with The Dalles-California to form excellent north-and-south through traffic carriers. The? Klamath proposal for The Dalles-California highway development is presented in five parts. Briefed, they are: 1. Survey and construct the re-location' from a point near Klamath Agency, going north, to a point p n the present highway north of Sand Creekf This will take the road In general along the sarne route followed by the railroad, elim inating; Sun mountain grade. 2. Grade from the foot of Algoma hill on V. S. 97 to a point north of Barclay Springs, to be followed by surfacing and paving; also widen and resurface from Barclay Springs to Modoc Point. This work will connect the recent im provements just north of town with the fine hew stretch of road north of Modoc Point through Lobert.- -It will eliminate the present Algoma hill and' the curves through the Algoma tup. ' 3-4. Survey and construct the routes through the Klamath Falls area connecting the north highway with (a) the route south to Merrill, Alturas, Reno,' etc., and (b) the route south to Weed. This will be covered in a later discussion. 8. Bring up to standard, by widening and re- , surfacing, portions of No. 97 north of Sand Creek. The road up there needs to be straight ened in places, widened and resurfaced, so that It may perform effectively as the vital traffic carrier it is.' . . , The Great Willamette NEXT general division on the state primary highway program is the Willamette high- way, the important cross-Cascade route that extends from near Chemult, on the east, to Goshen and Eugene on the west. Since its opening a couple of years ago, the Willamette lias become a heavily used portion of a through north-and-south route connecting the Willamette valley,; Portland, etc., with all California points. Here are the three proposals for work on this road: "1. Realign where necessary and otherwise . bring up to standards from Oakridge, in the , high Cascades, to the connection with the Pacific at Goshen. This work has already started on the western sections. A new bridge has been built across the Coast Fork just east of Goshen, and will be in use as soon as a relocation project, now underway, is finished. The Wil lamette has always had a bad break because of the woefully inadequate " junction at Goshen. 2. Further improve from Oakridge east to Salt Creek. Falls. This highway and the further improvements can be made without a great outlay. 3. Odell lake to the junction north of Che mult, surface and oiling. This portion was given a light surfacing at the start to meet the im mediate demand for its use. A heavy resurfac ing would make it ideal. The Lake view Lesson THE third main highway mentioned on the primary program is the Lakeview highway No. 66. Lakeview long occupied a No. 1 position pn our highway programs, but -it is now virtu- .. -r 4 ally completed. The final contract In the Quartz mountain district was started but not finished, and pie completion of that section is now urged, Klamath learned, from its experience with the Lakeview highway, that strong, unified sup port here for a deserving program will get results. This road was long permitted to lag although it was carrying heavy traffic. Finally, we all got in and pushed a demand for action. We got it. . Huge funds are to be made available for post-war highway construction in Oregon. Fol lowing the same procedure we adopted in be half of the Lakeview road, we can get our deserved share of that work. -ay ats-i iJ31 MALLON News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 Mentioned in dis patches from Quebec as a puzzling factor in our war and peace relations with Russia is the Moscow national com mittee for free Germany." The nub of our difficulties can be found in the not-very-widely publicized identity of that committee and its mani- fnrfn ?f fAii ...... l I A cabled report just receiv- Yi'.Vi ln icial quarters here specifically Identifies all the 30 members of the committee. Several are well-known Ger man Communists Who psrurml nazidom in the red purges. Others are German army lieutenants and majors (no colonels or generals), a man who says he is Bismarck's grandson, a Berlin pub ' lisher, a postal inspector, school inspectors, workers in the lumber, mechanical, and build ing trades, two women relchstag members, a youth leader, and strangely enough, an evan gelical minister and a theology student. Their manifesto urecs a free Rurmanv ht does not -contain the specifications as to what kind of freedom the Moscow committee wants our democratic freedom or what the Russians call freedom, whether a Russian democracy or socialism, or democratic freedom of enterprise. It does say the committee wants "emancipa tion of all strata of German people," (pre sumably not just peasants and unionists, but also middle classes). It wants "opportunity for Germany to express its will," but nothing as specific as a free two party election, or even a nearly unanimous Russian election. The only anti-democratic phrase in the docu ment is an expression against a return tb the Weimar republican regime (a single parlia ment system, with a responsible prime min . ister, which developed some defects when tried . after the last war.) Now this proposal is made to us, not as an authentic or official proposition, but as a front paged idea in the sponsored Moscow newspaper Pravda. It offers nothing that can be cooper ated with or even rejected. It only has a pro paganda standing. Some say the Russians put it out to confuse the Germans, but it naturally also confuses us. Yet our liberals are running around now shouting with increasing ferocity that our state department should have cooperated more with Stalin, and they should cooperate more now. How.are you going to cooperate with a propa ganda shadow? ' They point to the vacant chair Stalin should have occupied in Quebec. But how many vacant chairs are there in Moscow which we do not occupy? They , publicly flail Americans for daring to criticize Russia, but thev never kdv nnvthirxf about Russia criticizing us for second front or icuunctfEe iauures, ' One-Sided Thinking THEIR thinking is only one sided. They blame on us Stalin's recall nf an imhsmiin, k.. if Roosevelt recalls a man from Moscow, it is nuso our iauu. They always ask why does not Roosevelt cooperate with Stalin never, ask why Stalin does not cooperate with Roosevelt. "Appeasement" is a dirty word to liberals since Munich, and justly so. They hate it as a policy, knowing it never solves anything. But what they are advocating is nothing but ap peasement of Stalin. Their line of agitation is only confusing a situation which already is confused enough, in view of the opposite meanings of such words as "democracy," "republic," and "freedom" in Moscow and Washington. There is a way in which American-Russian relations can be mutually arranged but not the way of the Moscow committee of German ireeaom or in ,tne appeasement way of Ameri can liberals. This is the way of mutual, not one-sided, responsibility, . Fundamental Planes THERE are certain fundamental planes of agreeable mutual interest between us and Stalin. There are agreements we could reach without sacrificing our national integrity or Russia sacrifioing hers. There is a certain definite length to which we can both go, as people dealing fairly with one another. This common ground can be found, but it obviously lies in such directions as the extinction of Germany and Japan, the whole axis, in valid trade agreements, and only mutual understandings in the political realm which both sides can be expected to abide with. , It cannot be achieved by appeasement or by Washington officials rushing around eagerly to satisfy whatever propaganda pressure eman- atcs from Moscow in the day'$ news.

Dr. Masters' Health Column Children Born in World War Must Begin Life in Security By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Children born into a war-convulsed and revolution-torn world are going to need every resource at their disposal to give them a happy childhood, with all that promises of sound maturity and health. Not the least of these thresholds to sanity lies in the practice of breast-feeding. For the child's first knowledge of love and care comes through this process. Breast-feeding is so normal a proceeding and desire on the part of most mothers, that it seems almost absurd for physi cians to have to advocate it. Nevertheless, in the past 25 years, during which American women have sought and found economic opportunity with men, and liberty of a sort, it has be come fashionable among many women of relative leisure as well as those gripped in the strain of earning a living, to eliminate breast-feeding as promptly as possible. PERFECT FOOD Mother's milkls obviously the perfect food for a human baby. It contains all the food values necessary to give fine develop ment; even the best formula that can be devised is less satisfac tory. Statistically speaking, the breast-fed baby has fewer ill nesses and needs fewer visits to the doctor, save for the check ups advisable for all infants. Medical science offers much help, however, to the mother in her appointed task of feeding her child. Before the baby's ar rival, the mother must guard and care for her breasts. They must be supported when they become too heavy. They must be cleansed daily with soap and water, followed by an applica tion of petroleum jelly. Careful hygiene must be observed, and if the nipples are inverted, they must be gently drawn out, held out for several minutes in the fingers, and this done several times a day. Some women need special treatment to toughen their nipples for nursing. -ADJUSTMENTS NECESSARY After the baoy arrives, there may be a short period of adjust ment between mother and child, The baby must sometimes re ceive fluid under the advice of the physician before the true milk appears. How often the baby nurses, too, must be work' cd out very carefully, according to the needs of the Individual infant At this time, relief may have- to be given properly for the discomfort caused by the flow of milk following tho se cretion of colostrum, present at birth. A day or twos annoy ance, and sound medical advice quickly straighten out most nursing difficulties at the start. After the first two or three months, even breast milk should bo supplemented with other foods such as cereals, vegetables and fruits. The feedings must also be augmented with sources of vitamins C and D. Shipyard Worker's Death Accidental SALEM. Aug. 26 (IP) City police said today that the death Monday night of Stephen Bil lings, Salem shipyard worker whose body was found on the porch of his mother's home here Monday night, was accidental.

(To the Edi tor) The presidential election coming up in another year makes one wonder about the country's political status. Being an Independent, I can give an opinion which is not a wishful hypothesis. I voto thti best man regardless of his poli tics or religion... I am not like the dyed-in-the-wool republican or democrat. One democrat said he always voted democratic. I said to him: "I guess you did not vote tho last time." He said: "Yes, I voted for Roosevelt." I told him Roosevelt was no democrat. What is he? I don't want to name It. The republican said he always voted the GOP. I told him, too: "I guess you did not vote in 1940." Then, "Sure." he said. "I voted for Wtlkle." "Heck," I said, "he is no repub lican." What is he? As I said ot Roosevelt, I dont want to call it. If this progressive, wise and free country has only one man fit to run it, we are sure to be pitied. There are plenty of good men. cither democrat or repub lican. Among tlie republicans are Bricker, Stassen, Dewey and Vandenberg. I would be willing to vote for any one of them. But the republicans are asleep or not onto their Job.

(To the Editor) About two weeks ago a member of a veterans or ganization solicited tho public, selling flag lapel buttons on tho City streets. It has come to my attention that some of the general public have the idea that this veteran is a member of tho Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States and sold these emblems with our approval and consent. I would like to correct this im pression by stating that the vet eran was not a member of our organization insofar as I know; that he was not selling with our approval and as a member of the VFW: also that he was not wearing a VFW cap or Insignia and finally, it Is not the policy of our organization to approve or allow within our ranks any PILE S SUCCESSFULLY TREATED NO MIN - NO HOSPITALIZATION ..

A huge fire, worst in recent history, is burning over timber lands in Tillamook county. It has defied the efforts of 2000 fire-flghtors. Between 700 and 1000 appli cations for loans and small homes and suburban properties have been filed with Edward B. Ashurst, head of the HOLC of fice here. From Other Editors RIGHT-ABOUT-FACE (Reno Gazette) And now it is Vice President Wallace's turn to complain that he has been "misunderstood and misinterpreted." The vice president says that he did not moan to imply in his recent Detroit speech that cor porations are the root of all evil. Some corporations are all right, he said. In fact, he will go even further and concede that "Nine-ty-five to ninety-eight per cent of the corporations are harmless or beneficent, and suffer as much from the small, minority as any other group in the popu lation." Mr. Wallace now says that the corporate form of organization "is essential ln a democratic country like the United States for efficient carrying on, not only of largo scale business, but also many types of small busi ness." That doesn't sound at all like the speech he gave In Detroit a few weeks ago. Wonder who has been talking to the vice pres The War Today By DoWITT MacXENZIE Q We shouldn't puss lightly by Hitler's appointment of Jlelnrlch Hlmmler, the fuehror's bloody minded cxecutionor, as Gormitn minister of interior, a position which carrlos with It protty much the power of life and cluuth over the people of the rolch and occupied territories. , Tho elevation of nazidom's chief murderer and torrorlzor to this high position Is ono of tha most significant sign of Hitler's growing weakness. Tha all high est is showing four, not only ot the oppressed folk of conquered countries, but of his own people. Hlmmler Is culled when tyranny and bloodshed are the order of the day. Judps of Court It was Hlmmler the Hun who during Hitler's "blood purge" of his party in 1034 sat as Judge osQ a drumhead court unci sent a host of colleugues before firing squads. It was Hlmmler who wielded the lush and pistol when his muster decreed tha elimina tion of the Jaws. It was Hlmm ler who drove thousands of help less civilians to stum! on tho edge of their graves while they were coldly murdered by bullets through tho back of tho head. Of this throwbuck to sava gery, the late Sir Neville Hen derson, famous British ambassa dor to Berlin before tho war, once said grimly: "If given a gun and told to tako two shots, I would first shoot Hlmmler, then Von Rib bentrop (German foreign minis ter) and brain Hitler with tho butt of tho rifle." 8ansatlonal Hitler's appointment of Hlmm lcr as minister of Interior Is real-W ly sensational, for tho Indica tions are it has theso three pur poses: (1) To employ a ruthless hand against the growing revolt among the conquered (?) peo ples; (2) To maintain a tight hold on a home front which has been showing signs of unrest; (3) To force war workers to re main In danger zones and con tinue production, despite the terrific bombing which Indus trial centers are undergoing. ints aoesn t tustiry a conclu sion that the German people are on tho verge of revolt. Morale Is subject to quick changes, like your barometer, So let's just take the facts as they aland and log down among our Important memoranda that German morale is not what It was, and that tho doss gangster la worried. Alter Hsmbura Hlmmler's appointment comes on the heols of tha catastrophic destruction of the great port of Hamburg, and the terrific bom bardment of Berlin, which not only Is the capital but Is tha most Important single manufacturing center In Germany. It coincides with Denmark's public antl-nar.1 demonstrations which are re ported to have resulted In half a dozen cities. Including Copen hagen, being placed under a state of emergency. And other occupied countries are seething. The bomb-shock being suf fered by the people of the reich. and tho urgent necessity of keep ing every wheel of Industry turn ing, must figure very largely In the change of heads for the in terior department. There's the colossal task not only of evacuat ing destroyed areas but of pre venting panic and maintaining order.
