A request for its answer has t 1 J'' I the No. 1 position on the city's l'-.. i f the master highway "WV 5 pmaw state highway commissioners when they come to Klamath Falls late today. The com mission will be asked for def inite location and establish EPLEY ment of routes through the city. There is one major route to the north of Klsmath Falls The Dalles-California highway. At Klamath Tails, the main road system branches, one main line going south to Weed and the Pacific highway, another going south to Alturas, Reno and Los Angeles. Likewise, main roads go east to Lakeview and west to Ashland and Medford. To keep the story clear, let's go south first on the way to Reno, approaching Klamath Falls from the north. There is fairly definite proposal for this route through Klamath Falls. It takes off the present Dalles-California high way north of town, comes into town by way of Alameda street In Hot Springs, follows general ly along the east side of the government canal to the Altamont bridge, and on out through the airport area to Henley. Connection with the Lakeview highway is made at Altamont bridge. Now, for through traffic that turns towards Weed, several plans have been talked. There has been a suggested route out California ave nue, over a new bridge over Link river, and on out to Weed Junction west of town on mora or less the present route. Recently,, a local proposal has developed which would take this traffic into town on the proposed Alameda entrance, down Esplan ade street to Main, divide it on Main and Klamath avenue on out to the present Link river bridge, and out west and south. The argument in favor of this; route' Is that -Klamath Falls occupies a position where a by pass of main traffic is undesirable. Klamath is a stopping point midway between the great metropolitan areas north and south ot here. , U is assumed that the vast majority of travelers -will want to stop here, rather than by-passing the city. Whatever routes are set up for through traf fic, the local road-boosters think it's time they are being established. The city planning com mission wants to know, because it wants to fit in park development, etc., with the high way program., o a o o An Old Problem ANYONE who has traveled In recent years about Oregon knows that the state high way department has not done what it should in solving the South Sixth street traffic problem at Klamath Falls. It has let this project lag while it has taken care of similar and even less serious situations elsewhere. For years, there has been a local urge that something be done about South Sixth street. It is stlU the same old "death alley." South Sixth therefor occupies an important place on the master program now being offered the highway commission. Proposals include widening for four-lane traffic widening the viaduct or building a new one, removal of power poles and installation of adequate light ing, and a separation strip from Washburn way to the Altamont canal crossing. South Sixth carries the heavy traffic between the Klamath business district and the thickly settled southeast suburbs. Local traffic also is heavy on South Sixth between industrial plants and the homes of industrial workers. At pres ent, at least, South Sixth is a heavy through traffic carrier. Recently, the highway department has ob tained rights-of-way for South Sixth street de velopment, and has Indicated the job will proceed as soon as conditions will permit. The inference is that war conditions do not at present permit this construction. But war conditions did not prevent an enormous project just south of Eugene. A terrific job has been done there in the Judklns Point district, right through the war period. South sixth certainly deserves the earliest possible action by the highway department. Klamath interests are justified in doing every thing they can to drive that home to the new highway commissioners.

Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 The fact that Quebec conference announcements did not live up to its advance press agentry, has roused some critical hue and cry that there should have been something stronger and better. The situation probably is being misjudged somewhat Truth is Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill over-sold it and then could not make it live up to Its promise not publicly, at least. The historic tourists site of Quebec may have been chosen largely for Canadian publicity reasons, for both Roosevelt and Churchill must have had in mind the help they could thus render Canadian Premier Mac Kenzie King, recovering from the shock of the socialists' advance in the Ontario elections, and troubled by the local French situation. Canada is supposed to have invited 100 American newsmen, through the office of war information, but Washington apparently did not understand the desire for publicity at first, and kept the matter such a secret here that only about 30 went up in the first batch. This defect was corrected later, and probably more than 100 were finally fathered in, but news was so scarce they started interviewing themselves and even the lamp posts. In their dismay, they started chiding the conference a bit. But a more fundamental reason why the conference announcements fell short is that Messrs. Roosevelt and Churchill are planning months in advance. They are not arranging "next steps," but the steps after the next. The Tunisian and Sicilian campaigns were planned as far back as Casablanca. Also, the next steps which wUl.be unfurled to the public no doubt were planned before Quebec (which may explain the absence of mention of Italian possibilities from Quebec announcements and statements). Thus also, when the authorities speak of a coming campaign in the Pacific, they could well be looking forward to the final moving of the British and American air and aea flt into the Pacific for the WH, after European necessities are over. Neither our comments nor complaints therefore can be founded on solid basis, as all require Information beyond our QLENTY of dirt was piled in the corner be I hind the publicised estrangement of Under Secretary of State Welles and his superior, Mr. Hull. If it were all sift through, how. ever, it would be the same quality as the top layer. The men simply are opposite personal- ua ana coma noi possibly work SS a team. Personal matters brought the end. Many other reasons were publicly ascribed when the news first wag published. It was said the southern democrats were driving the only remaining liberal out of our foreign office front, that Welles" going was a rebuff to Bni similarly big political and for eign connotations, on report suggested that a republican senator was involved in driving Welles out ' The shadow is greater than the substance in all these considerations. Far more important than any of them is the beUef all Washington reporters have had for months that Mr. Welles was trying to get Mr. Hull's job and that, in the scheming by friends on both sides, an impossible situa tion naa neen created at the top of the state department If for no other reason than this, either Mr. Welles or Mr. Hull had to go. The departure of Hull at a time like this when the president needs the support of the non radicals in the democratic party, would have been disastrous from the White House view- THIS personal event, coupled with the ascend ency of the democratic ex-iudaes fBvrn. Vinson and Jones) and the almost complete eclipse of Vice President Wallace, has caused an impression here that Mr. Roosevelt is re forming his front entirely on more conserva tive grounds for the coming fourth term cam paign. Personally, I WU1 believe it when I see It displayed in definite action. Advisors have risen and fallen continually at the top here without any material change of front. The old Roosevelt' personal advisors, Hopkins, Frankfurter, Rosenman (and sub-advisor Ben Cohen) stUl remain as far front in the picture today as formerly What w have seen so far done is merely a surface switch of personalities, not fundamental theories of government. Mr. Waterhouse, the school janitor for the coming year, re ports that everything is in readi ness for the opening of school next week. Mrs. C. A.

It's swell coat, hut t wish i before I hit him for a boost in my allowance now I'm helping to pay for it I" Dr. Masters' Health All Children Mentally, Physically Harmed by War By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS The war is in some degree a I- taring the life of nearly every child in the world. The displace ment of the usual peacetime oat tern is due to such factors as altered family relationships and home conditions, unusual emo tional experiences, the trans portation of infectious agents and shortages of food. It would be desirable if the effects of this war could be determined by studies made during the last war. The magnitude of the present conflict, however, so over shadows the last that the basis of comparison is inadequate. The birth rates dropped sharp ly during the last war. In 1917 and 1918, the infant mortality rates rose abruptly. Children born during the period of food shortage were unusually suscept ible to every sort of contagious disease such as tuberculosis. In fluenza and parasitic infestation. Deficiency diseases such as scurvy and rickets were wide spread and are obvious effects of malnutrition. Infants born to undernourished mothers showed few signs of injury and generally appeared to be in good condi tion. GROWTH RETARDED The restriction of food also re tarded the rate of growth and size of children born during the last war. These were later com pensated for when adequate food was available, and by the time these children .reached puberty, their weights and heights coin cided with those of the average normal adolescent Major mental or nervous dis turbances attributable to war were not found significant among the chudren of the last war. Minor nervous symptoms such as mild speech defects, fears of bombing or capture, nightmares Langell Valley Warren Mason spent the week end at Yreka.

The inability to con centrate, fatigue and irritability were prevalent among school children and usually attributable to malnutrition. The absence of fathers and frequently mothers from the home resulted in re laxed discipline and some in crease in juvenile dellnauencv The psychological factors also appeared to be transient and. according to the means available for their measurement normal behavior was soon resumed with the return of peace. FIRST EFFECTS APPEARING An insuff (cent time has elapsed to detect all the effects upon children of the present war, and the full story Is not yet in. The infant mortality rates, however, are again on the in crease in Europe and presum ably in Asia. Contagious dis eases such as pneumonia,, dip. uiena, cereoro-spinai fever and scabies have shown a definite In crease in Britain. The same minor nervous disturbances are reported, but as before no se rious mental trouble has been found. . In France, the size and height of children has already een discovered to be below av erage because of malnutrition. The means of recognizing and controlling deficiency diseases 1 far advanced over 29 years ago, and this knowledge may serve to buffer the shortages of food. The children of America have been spared the violent experi ences of bombing, invasion and famine. The laxity of home dis cipline while fathers are in the armed forces and mothers en gaged in defense work has been foUowed by some increased de linquency, but otherwise no significant changes have been recorded.

The War Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE Something rod hot some thing to watch closely for de velopments is the announce ment by the government of Sweden that two Gorman mlnu sweepers sank two Swedish fi.slv ing boats without warning off Denmark on August 23. An angry Stockholm immed iately started an investigation, Should that Inquiry establish that the Huns have aguin per petrated one or their cold-blood ed acts of ruthlcssness, it might oe we explosive evont which would bring Swodon into the war on the side of the allies, Tendency Toward War That s not a prediction. I'm merely pointing to a tendency which has been pulling a re luctant Sweden nearer and nearer to the brink of the Eur opean maelstrom recently. This is one of those "can-be-u" sit uations. One wonders in par ticular what the effcot would be on Stockholm if the western allies should stage an invasion of western Europe in the im mediate future. It certainly would put the Swedes in a much, stronger position. Relations between the Scan. dlnavian country and her cana ster neighbor have been increas ingly strained for four months. For the past three months the Swedes have been standing at arms, resdy for action if forced from their chosen position of neutrality. Worst Incident ' Now comes this fresh sensa tion in which the German war ships are said to have fired from a range of SO yards on tne utile boots. The fish he craft were flying their coun try's flag, and had the Swedish blue and gold insignia painted trustingly on their sides. Stock holm regards this as the worst In a series of Incidents involv ing Germany since the sinking of the Swedish submarine Ulven on April 18, with her crew of 34, The fact that the nails have been jittery in the expectation of an allied invasion ot Den mark scarcely could salve Swed ish honor or Indignation. That's an excuse something like the one he Boche gave after send ing the Ulven to the bottom. The Hitlerites said they mistook j tho Ulven for an enemy craft I THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... "Anything new, Bert, on that black market trial up at the county seat?" "The jury came in 'bout an hour ago, Judge. The verdict was' guilty.' I understand the sentence is going to be a mighty stiff one." "Can't be too stiff to suit me. Anything those law-flouting racketeers get will be too good for them. How they thrive every time there's an opportunity to sell something bv virtue of a warrant nr lint' In 1943.: 1943.

Whether that rep- resuuted the position exactly Is sonieinmg tor history to decide. Porhnps It might be more ac curate to sny that some of bwedou s actions had been oro- axis, thoroby making way for a delicate differentiation. We should remember that Sweden was right under Hltlor's big guns, and In constant danger of invasion by tho Boche. Sweden's position was mighty difficult Signs of Thought Anyway, the allied govern ments quietly but cloorly made It known thut those who aro not for us aro against us. This didn't improve bweden's uncomfort able position, but it did produco signs mat Stockholm was o ly ing it thoughtful consideration. A little later there began a long series of Incidents for winch the noils were respon sible, and thero has been a dis tinct cooling off of Swedish- Gorman relations. Stockholm's attitude has stiffened as the axis has sunk into the slough of defeat, and as the prospects vi an uiiica invasion of western curope have grown, BOWD SALE RALLY SET FOR MERRILL A bond sale rally, commnnltv sing, and frco show are all being readied this weekend for tho big bond sale In Merrill this Mon- day nluht at 8:30 o clock in the hllilt school gymnasium.
