Unless something is done about it pretty soon, the pedestrian ! safety honors won by this community in national con J testa of recent years will be- come a hollow mockery. 'T It is not easy to improve upon good records. Klamath f reslly did quite well for a few I - years in the matter of protec tion of foot travelers on its - streets. It would be quite sat ' isfactory just to maintain those i standards, but the incidents or : recent weeks indicate that EPLEY when the records of the current period are ' checked over, our reputation win oe Daaiy ! shot. . , J Fast, irresponsible driving in the congested areas is the major hazard to foot travelers here. Observation downtown indicates that ' much of this is being done by very young i-- drivers, and city police confirm that impression. ' A lot of this speedy driving also is being it done at night when it is particularly dangerous to-life and limb of people crossing the inter- sections on foot. One of the most hazardous "' things that can be done is to turn off Main c street at a high speed, going through the Main " street pedestrian lane. Spend any evening downtown observing traffic, and you will see that done frequently again with juvenile driv- -What causes this reversion to ' recklessness here, after two or three years of improved traf ' fie practices, is not clear, but it seems that the sobering, influence of the war is wearing off. It seems that now is a good time for parents of young people who drive to deliver some pretty straight-talking lectures. News Behind the News Br PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, May 31 Everyone seems inclined to worry about post-war jobs. A guiding line of national thought has been established in that direction. The president is talking and congress is acting as if there may be widespread unemployment, unless great steps are taken. Stock mar keteers anticipate some kind of depression. , Soros large investors have gotten out of the market in anticipation. The CIO is mak ing politics out of the situa tion, "educating" the public to believe there will be no jobs for returning soldiers un- MALLON less their man gets into every office. In some degree, all the front page news of speeches and statements reflect this outlook an outlook which is strained and fanciful when measured against the provable, but not widely recognized facts. The truth is bank deposits have been rising lately at the rate of $200,000,000 a week cash in the hands of the people is being stored at : that amazing rate. The total of bank deposits now Is above $110,000,000,000. In addition there is $20,000,000,000 (yes, billions) of cash held outside the banks. a a a $130,000,000,000 Stored Away THE amount of cash thus stored by the people I already in this war is above $130,000,000,' 000 good spendable long green money with no strings on it, a stack higher than the peoplo ever held before, nearly two and a half times as much as they had in the big boom year of 1929. The dean of government economists, E. A Goldenwiscr, of federal reserve, said In a speech to the Illinois bankers last week the "unpre cedented rise in bank deposits" would reach be tween $125,000,000,000 and $150,000,000,000 by the end of this year. Ho estimated war expend!' tares to date at $210,000,000,000. Now, in addition, the people hold war bonds already amounting to more than $70,000,0OO,00U, bonds which can be cashed for post-war spend ing. Thus the amount of spendable money and bonds in private hands today amounts to more than $200,000,000,000, practically the same amount as the government has spent on the war. It may be unbelievable but it is true the private purse today already has swollen to the unprecedented fatness of the government war cost so far, and this trend will continue. It will be $250,000,000,000 by the end of the war. As everyone knows, furthermore, the people are short every item of living. Together this vast hoard of the people's cash and tha equally vast backlog of the people's needs constitute an irresistible force, for amazing business. Indeed this force is so great, the problem is the opposite of unemployment and depression. a a a Big Job Ahead THE job ahead is to keep prices down, scarce materials allocated' equitably, and buying orderly so as to avoid a runaway inflation. In short, instead of a government spending pro gram, there must be a people's spending pro gram, not designed to get them to spend, but to restrain them to orderly spending. Instead of their being anything in the CIO political claim that there will be no jobs for the soldiers unless their man is elected, the truth is there is a danger of business bidding for labor no matter who is elected to any office. ' I know one of the government economists has told congress there will be 19,000,000 unem ployed. Another is saying the first 18 post-war months will see 8,000,000 let out of the armed forces and probably 11,000,000 more lose their jobs in war plants by the cessation of work. But they are counting the trees without even seeing the woods, or the long green leaves thereon, which practically reach up to the sky. What they only really see is a problem of a shift in employment, a technical problem of readjustment under an irresistible dynamic econ omic force which belies their -worries. a a a a . , Employment Switch THERE will be many women, aged and other workers who will want to retire from the industrial field, and many soldiers who will not desire their old jobs back, but will want new ones (fully half will seek new employment in my opinion.) The farm boy who has become a flier will not want to go back to the plow, or the machine gunner to the shoe store. The labor problem therefore will be specific, not general, not "unemployment" but shortages here, surpluses there. Dr. Goldenweiser in an article in the current federal reserve bulletin entitled "Jobs After the War," concludes that if our current expenditure rate of $200,000,000,000 a year dips no lower than $160,000,000,000 for the post-war period, the existing economic system can survive; if it falls below $120,000,000,000, It would go "be yond permissable contraction." He does not note there the cash on hand, and is careful not to recommend a government policy, but the situation seems to demand one beyond current talk, in short, a people's spend ing program. STAY OFF JOBS By The Associated Press Back to work movements and discussions were under way to day in some sectors of the nation wide strike front, but shutdowns still involved more than 50,000 workers. -,, Production of medical supplies at Parke Davis and company in Detroit was hampered and De troit's bakery deliveries were 90 per cent shut off, as the CIO and ;. AFL unions in the respective walkouts were called before the war labor board to show cause why they should not return to work. There were about 2900 ; workers in the two shutdowns. Employes in a third Detroit walkout, involving 1500 at the Federal Mogul company plant, met to consider returning to work. , acl, union members were treking back to their jobs in the Pacific northwest lumber tie-up which affected an estimated 40, 000 workers but CIO union lead ers had not recommended that their men return. At Worcester, Mass, the New England .director of the CIO United Steelworkers appealed to members to return to work at the American Steel and Wire company plant, where a walkout over grievance procedure kept about 9000 idle, . Bread was scarce in at least four other cities besides Detroit Cincinnati and Toledo, Ohio, Decatur and Pana, 111. by walk outs or naxery worxers. in" demonstration of about 5500 CIO workers in the Brewster Aeronautical corporation plant at Long Island City, in protest against cancellation of navy con tracts effective July 1. Legis lation and executive branches of the government were taking steps to see that firms whose war contracts are terminated get enough advance notice so they can seek other contracts and em ployes hunt other jobs. A similar demonstration was conducted in Brewster's Johns- vi lie plant by about 3000, em ployes. . 0 Sheriff Low Named To Footprinters' Board of Directors Klamath County Sheriff Lloyd Low was elected a mem ber of the board of directors of the grand chapter of the Inter national Footprinters at the an nual meeting of that organiza tion held in Sacramento on May 26 and 27. Low returned here Sunday from the two-day conference at which 125 delegates were pres ent.
