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.

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.

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.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION
BONANZA, Ore. (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

And now it is Vice President

he has been "misunderstood and
misinterpreted."
The vice president says that
he did not moan to imply in his
recent Detroit speech that cor

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

corporate form of organization
"is essential ln a democratic

only of largo scale business, but

which carrlos with It protty

Tho elevation of nazidom's
