FRANK JENKINS Editor Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY KLAMATH'S children return Tuesday to schools that have been effectively organ ized for the third school year of the war in spite of the many difficulties that confront school people under wartime conditions. The early start was planned In view of anticipated Inter ruption; due to the potato har vest labor shortage, in itself a Ys." wartime condition. It Is pos- Aktl schools will be dismissed for ia LJ a p"1 Bt 1,16 pcak ot 0,8 harvest. Manv children may EPLEY be called out from other schools to the harvest fields, and will make up the work on their return. Whichever way it is done, it should be possible- to meet this emergency without harming the education of the youngsters, and they may perform a vital work In connection with the harvest of our crop. Not the least of the difficulties in operating the schools in these times, of course, is the manpower problem. Personnel announcements from both city and county schools last week Indicated that the staffs have been pretty well filled, a fact that does credit to the adminis trators and boards who have had to seek per sonnel in a highly competitive situation with the supply distinctly short. For example, physical ' education work is quite adequately staffed, in spite of the fact the state schools have simply ceased graduating men into that field in the war period. In the high schools, particularly, the effect of the war on curricula is notable. Emphasis is being placed on mathematics and mechanical arts to prepare our youth for possible participa tion in a mechanized war and for a post-war world that will be dominated, more than ever, by science and the machine. Physical education is to emphasize conditioning of youth for pos News Behind the News .. Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 The semblance of suppressed smile flickered on the face of James A. Farley in pictures of the New York state committee meeting and not without rea son. The story told the public was that President Roosevelt's emissary, National Chairman Walker, hurried up to New York and arranged the nom ination of Lieutenant General Haskell of the National Guard for the special lieutenant gov ernorship election. The implication was that' FDR had made the choice and people here wondered why MALL ON Farley would, so docilely accept it, and lead the way for it, in view of .the fact that the election is -being built up as a test on the fourth term and everyone knows how Mr. Far ley has felt about that Mr. Farley had reason to be docile. He slyly slipped around to the American labor party leaders and arranged their endorsement of Haskell, even before Walker arrived in New York. By the time Walker got on the scene, the bird was not only caught by Mr. Farley, but cooked and eaten. Haskell became Farley's candidate more than Roosevelt's. ' The race is supposed to be a test of the pulling power of Governor Dewey, current lead ing republican candidate, against Mr. Roosevelt in his home state, but Dewey did not make the. choice of the republican candidate either. The republican nominee, Majority Leader Hanley of the state senate, was naturally wholly acceptable to Dewey and no differences lie be tween them. Yet the republican situation was such that the governor, whose presidential fortunes are directly involved, was not free to go out and pick the strongest possible man politically from all angles to represent him personally in the fight. Not FDR Test THE contest will be tough and close, and not truly a Dewey-Roosevelt test, although it is apt to be advertised nationally as such. WAR KITCHEN GARDEN VEGETABLES MAKE TASTY RELISHES " By GAYNOR MADDOX Ketchup, bread and butter, pickles and other such helpers to better meals can be made from crops of your victory garden. Es pecially with the help of a handy little book Just published, called "What We Can't We Can." Written by Elizabeth Beverage, , of the Home Service Center of Woman's Home Companion, the book has been mBde in strict con formity with WPB's regulations restricting the use of certain ma terials. It costs only 25 cents and tells any home canner about all she needs to know to save food and add more interest to her meals. Let's look at the pickling section.

In Klamath Falls, the junior high school plan appears to have assumed a permanent place in the educational set-up. For the first time, all eighth graders of the city district last year were concentrated in one program at Fremont school. This proved both educationally and financially the opinion of school people. ' In the county system there is further develop ment of the six-year high school plan. The elim ination of smaller high schools continues, a note worthy example being the schooling of Keno students at KUHS this year. On the whole, Klamath people have reason for satisfaction as they look at their schools at the beginning of this third school year of the war. As long as this writer has known it, the basin community has been youth-minded. It has spent generously and, on the whole, effectively tn behalf of the education of its children. The war has not been permitted to interrupt that program. Klamath's Budget THE method used for publication of the Klam ath county budget came in for favorable comment in the last issue of "Your Taxes," a pamphlet put out by Oregon Business and Tax Research, Inc. A section of the Klamath budget, as pub lished in The Herald and News, is shown in the pamphlet, along with another from the Marsh field city budget. The Klamath budget is used to demonstrate a breakdown of totals into sev eral items, as contrasted with a summary style used by Marshfield and also used by Yamhill county. To test the validity of the summary style, a friendly test case has been instituted. The Klamath budget, broken down into de tail that gives the taxpayer full information if he will read it, is prepared by the county clerk and submitted to the court and budget commit tee. It is a good budget publication, and it de serves more careful perusal by the public than we believe it gets . Every available inner development indicates Dewey is resisting the movement for his own presidential candidacy. His home-town folks in Michigan are known to have attempted to start an organization for him, a sort of unofficial home-town boom, the responsibility for which could not have been attributed to him, but he dissuaded them, A certain southern republican woman leader likewise went to New York to try to get just a private word that no opposition would be offered to starting something on her own ac count, but she was stopped also. The party leaders here counted on the ener getic spread of Mr. Willkie's strongly-organized movement to bring Dewey out of the shell he proposed to occupy at Albany until the end of his gubernatorial term, but now are beginning to wonder. The existence of a growing popular move ment behind him has continued to be exhibited in public polls, however, to the point where the democratic leaders here are convinced he will be the nominee anyway. Pleasure Ban 0 MANY may have wondered why the govern ment failed to live up to all its advance promises to abandon the pleasure- driving ban in the east at the time the mid-west was drawn into rationing. The promises came from the OPA, and al most directly from Its general manager, Bowles, who was working determinedly toward that end. OPA understood that Petroleum Poobah Ickes would join the promise when he went to Chicago for a conference with mid-west con gressmen. However, the contents of the various plans leaked to the press from the OPA office in Chicago before Ickes had a chance to speak. Ickes came back here mad and refused to allow the ban-lifting as part of the program. He may have had a valid reason, but you can not convince OPA men of anything except that Ickes was angry at the leak and -acted from pique, possibly believing OPA was trying to push him around. Estrangement has continued between Ickes and OPA since then until recently when Bowles asked him to lunch in an effort to patch up differences. sieve.

MASTERS Corns are responsible for more pain, discomfort and dis ability than any other minor dis turbance. The pain may be so persistent and intense as to dom lnate one's mental and physical activities. The rturn to the feet as a means of locomotion is not confined to the armed forces. The home front, in addition to using its feet more than usual, is generally less well and sensibly shod than the men in the service. Intermittent pressure and fric tion are the cause of corns and callouses. When these agents are applied to a small area over sharp, bony prominence, a corn is the result. When the friction and pressure affect a larger sur face, usually on the sole of the foot, callouses are formed. NATURE OF CORNS The changes in the skin that characterize a corn are designed to protect the skin against dis- EIGHTH AIR LONDON, Aug. 30 P The U. S. eighth air force knocked down a record 307 enemy fight ers in the two-ply assault on Regensburg and Schweinfurt, Germany, on August 17, but suf fered a loss of 59 Flying Fort resses, a new high for American operations in this theater, ac cording to headquarters compila tions. Thirty-six of the heavy bomb ers were lost in the Schweinfurt raid, but the books were more than balanced by the destruction of 167 nazl fighters. In the companion attack on the Regensburg Messerschmitt factory, the Fortress force which went on to North Africa in a shuttle operation lost 23 planes and shot down 140 of the en emy's Interceptors. The eighth air force's loss that day was one more than the RAF's biggest for one night. In the raid on Berlin six days later on August 23 the British lost 58 planes. The previous record for enemy planes shot down by the Amer icans in a day's operation was 87. This score was made on June 11 in the raid on Wilhelm shaven. Although 59 Fortresses were lost on August 17 an unknown number of the crewmen escaped with their lives.

Column integration and wearing away. The inflammation of the super- ncial layer of the skin that fol lows this type of injury precipi tates an increased rate of cell prodnction. The new cells de velop an extreme degree of co hesion, with the result that thick, horny plate is formed. In the center of a corn, there is a core or root of grayish-white ma terial. This substance is com posed of cells that have desen- erated under the extreme pres sure. At the deepest point of this core, a small cavity containing a musny mass of decomposed ma terial Is formed, and when In flamed, pus forms In this sDace. The corn presses on the nerves lying in the deeper layers of the skin, and thus causes the pain. Corns are weather-sensitive, and are unusually painful just before storms. The so-called soft corns are those that occur where skin surfaces rub together, and where neat and moisture are retained! The altered skin becomes mac erated and soft under these con ditions. PREVENTIVE MEASURES The friction and pressure that cause the corn are applied to the skin when the bones of the foot press the skin against the shoe. or. vice-versa. Ill-fitting shoes are a frequent cause of corns, and a shoe that so offends should be stretched or altered so as to relieve the pressure, or it should be supplanted by a correctly fit ted shoe. When it is difficult to find a satisfactory shoe, the trouble is likely to be in the foot. Any deformity of the foot, such as an elevated longitudinal arch, a depressed transverse arch, or hammer toe, is almost certain to be followed by corns or callouses or both. Faulty posture causing shift of the weight-bearing area to parts not designed to withstand pressures also predisposes the formation of corns. Many methods are employed to treat corns and callouses. Shoes must fit and be free from ridges and seams. Stockings should be of the proper size. Exercises and muscular re-education may be needed to correct postural defects. Pads may be used to prevent friction. There are numerous corn paints, most of which contain salicylic acid, that soften the corn and cause its separation. Self-pedicure is not to be recommended, because of the danger of Infection. Vari ous caustics are useful, especial ly with soft corns. X-ray may be successfully employed in many instances but these last are strictly professional mea sures.

Signs of disintegration multi ply, latest among the crises to tear the founriutlon ot the Hit lcrlan structure are grave situ ations In the widely separated states of Denmark and Bulgaria. It's significant that these two countries are among those which have been more favored by tho boche. Hitler has adopted an air of beneficence towards tho Danes and Bulgarians, hoping to use them among the foundation stones of his new order. Danish Revolt It's not surprising that tho liberty-loving Danes finally have broken out in fierce revolt against the boche. That creates an especially grave danger for Hitler, since 'Denmark provides one of tho several potential In vasion coasts for tho allies, and the latter might take quick ad vantage of the situation If things looked particularly good. Also a grave politico-military problem for the master gangster is the situation In the Balkans another potential Invasion the atre for the allies. Bulgaria, his buffer state against the unpre dictable Turks and one of his chief bulwarks against an as sault by the United Nations up the peninsula. Is tottering in loy alty. King Boris has met sudden and mysterious death, .and his people have been parading the streets of their sombre capital, demanding peace. Swedish Aspect There's another aspect to the imbroglio in little Denmark. As I pointed out last week, relations between neighboring Sweden and the reich have become so strained that the Swedes are walking close to war with nazi dom. If they came Into the con flict under those circumstances, they would automatically become one of the allies. That would make Hitlers western front s hot spot. King Boris was a dictator by nature. As virtually absolute monarch he carried his people Into the war on the side of the axis. He probably was Impelled to do this because of Germany's powerful Influence In the Bal kan peninsula, because he thought the relch was likely to win and bestow favors on Bul garia, and because he was son-in-law of the king of Italy. Reluctant Bulgarians However, the Bulgarian peo ple followed Boris Into the war on the side of the axis reluctant ly. They are largely anti-Ger man and are very pro-Russian, because of the Slavic affinity. He who tries to make them fight further for Hitler is Inviting trouble. Perhaps the king lost his life because he finally recognized the futility of trying to force his sub jects to give further support to the nazls. We don l know nc did, but there are all sorts of re ports going the rounds and It may be time will disclose that he was assassinated on nazl or ders because he told Hitler In their recent conference that the game was up.

(To Tho Editor) Tho past week un FBI officer and six Japs board ed a north bound stage here In Klnmath Falls, and a sailor and aomo soldiers and a few civil ians rofusud to rido on tho same stage with tho Japs. I don't understand why Americans should be asked to ride with such vermin. Our boys In Japan are not being accorded first class means of transportation, there are plenty of box cars In this coun try, and they aro plenty good, In fact too good for any Jup, In 1016, I was working tor a fish cannery at Port Moller, Alaska, that Is on tho Bering sea side of tho Alaska penin sula and about 190 miles north east of Dutch Harbor. It was a big outfit, and wo had a num ber of ocean going tugs that wont all up and down the peninsula and down Into the Aleutian Islands. Wo had a Jap cook on ono of thorn. Ho was paid $75 a month. Bear in mind that this tug went to many of the places that now figure largely In tho military news, and that this was 27 years ago. The following spring (1D17) the captain of this tug was In Sent- j tie when ono of the large Japa nese liners came in, ana nis cook of the year before was the captain. I have known Jups for more than 30 years. I have known all classes, the so-called upper class and the lower, and the only difference 1 could ever see between the various classes was that the unner class were a lit tle smoother In their crooked ness, or cunning. A Jnp Is a Jnp no matter where ho is born. It Is time the American people were tnklng a realistic view. We are at the snme place with the Japs we were with the ne groes at the close of tho Civil war. If Abraham Lincoln had lived we would not now have a negro question. We have these Japs all round ed up and they should all be shipped out when, tho war is over. It Isn't possible for the Amer ican people to assimilate two alien races; If we try It, we will degenerate Into a race of mon grels. I gave a soldier a ride a short time ago who had been on Guadalcanal, and he told me that they found American sol diers stripped naked, hanging by their necks with thoir stom achs cut open. Yet we have people and va rious organizations in tho Unit ed States putting out propagan da for a Just peace.
