Today's Roundup

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.

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

and restlessness at night were
numerous. 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

Porhnps It might be more ac
curate to sny that some of

delicate differentiation. We
should remember that Sweden
