Today's Roundup Br MALCOLM EPLEY EXPANSION of agricultural experimentation U th current objective of individuals and group concerned with the future of agricul ture a a foundation stone in trv,"Ty 1 JQamath basin economy. They point out that an in dustry that returns $23,000,000 la a (ingle year to this basin community deserves the re search and Investigatory work that can be done only by a full branch agricultural experi ment station. This is especially true when it Is realized that despite the rich returns from agricultural activity in this area, there is EPLEY till much that can be done to develop the Industry and to increase the efficiency in land tttnisation, To a layman, it may be surprising that land can change so greatly in productivity as aloes the land in this area. There is , acreage that has declined to a status of near worth lessness, and has then been brought back, by careful management, to become some of the most productive land in the valley. A map of the area, showing the various classifications of land, looks much like a check erboard, and the extent of the lower classes of land Indicates the immense possibilities of im provement. That is one of the major objec tives of experimentation, and What has already been accomplished along that line promises rich results from sound- research. What Is, Proposed NEAR the airport is the Klamath experi mental area, where E. A. Gross for a num ber of years has carried on valuable experi mental work with a small budget and little' to work with besides his own ingenuity and determination.' Mr. Gross has accomplished much, and his efforts likewise indicate the great potentialities of agricultural experimenta tion on a larger scale. What is now proposed by the county's econ omic planning committee and the land use committee of the chamber of commerce is an expanded program 'with its main objective the improvement of land already within the culti vated area of the basin. : It is planned to acquire three pieces of land for experimental purposes Class 5, Class 1, and marsh land. - "The county court has put $10,000 into the new budget for experimentation, as compared with the customary $1500, and it is planned to ask the state college to make a full branch experiment station out of the present "Klam ath experimental area." Local contributions may. be obtained to acquire the additional land needed for the project. , . This is a sound program, deserving of public support and the cooperation of the public agencies concerned with agricultural experimen tation in Oregon. ' ' , - OCCASIONALLY, to our desk comes a con tribution from a reader that eiit- our special interest because of the feeling that lies behind what is written. Such a contribution was the unforgettable anonymous letter to Tommy Pritchard, Klamath boy lost at the beginning of the war. ; Another such appears on this page today. It is poem written on the morning of D-Day by the mother of a paratrooper in the invasion theater. It deserves, and receives, a special place on this page today. Our favorite newspaper has gotten so military-minded it listed Mayor Johnny Houston" as "Major" Houston in yesterday's Page 1 "cut cap tion. If we are going to make mistakes like that, we ought at least to call the good mayor rear admiral or brigadier general. V 1 News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, June 13 The unresolved conflict between the four freedoms and radical Ideologies which is apparent behind the confusing political news from am, UmaJ i .In. naiMnli.(iati ha. hind much domestic news and interpretation. The leftist journals are cur rently campaigning for the Bevcrldge proposed "way of life" in Britain, with the criti cal demand that it also be pur sued here. They think that is what the four freedoms mean, assumption by the state of mnna Mimnlata authority over the lives of men economteally. MALLOK fixing their wages, their employment, their se curity rather than encouraging the Individual to do it himself on his own initiative. That is the kind of peace and post-war planning they want. But we have campaigned this war through to a point near victory on the basis of bringing liberty and democracy for the individual both here and abroad.. Is their thinking now not as confused and as far wrong as it was a few months ago when they were campaigning for a quart of milk a day and labor-wage standards to be fixed throughout the world? What is liberty? What is democracy? What is freedom of the individual? If we do not first decide that, how can there be anything but confusion about post-war planning? Slavery by Taxation rme, an individual enslaved to a state econ omically by taxation or otherwise, is no less a slave than if controlled politically. In a dictatorship, his life is no more free than the conscience and ability of the man who happens to be running the state at any given time. If he has a democratic form, he is still no more free than by whatever degree his presi dent and congress are free from domination by minority class groups and interests. In the religious sense, he is not free if he is dominated by any class group either. Domination by one religion or by atheism is equally far from any democratic ideology. The radicals sec this, but this part of it only. How can they expect anyone to believe domin ation brings economic freedom when they see so well it does not bring religious freedom. They could not consider the world politically free If it was dominated by one "world imperial power, at least no one else would. Oneness domination never yet has achieved freedom or liberty or democracy in any way. What we would like to .have is complete freedom for all peoples in all ways, economical ly, politically, religiously. This always has . proved too idealistic a goal for the world to achieve entirely, but by whatever further pro gress we make in that direction, the peace will be successful. By whatever measure we com promise It, the peace will fait. We were drawn deeper Into what measure of collectivism we already had before this. war only to meet failures. The ideal was not voluntarily espoused as the proper way of life. It was not what we 'wanted. It was what we had to take. Entering the war, we assumed the additional collectivism only for war. Of course in that direction should be pursued in the post-war peace only to whatever extent it will bring true justice to the individual. The star of individual freedom should never be eclipsed one inch by collectivism as our idea. Democratic Cooperation OUR success in this war was not due to collectivism but to voluntary democratic cooperation by all hands. To whatever extent labor sacrificed its rights to strike, it expects to get that right back, and so with all of us. Internationally we did not win by collectivism either, but by truly democratio cooperation. One nation did not dominate the military decisions of how to proceed with the fighting. This demo cratic way is working well against a nation which practiced collectivism and preached sub servience of the individual to the state. These are rudiments of simple common sense for peace. If we wish to dispel confusion and plan our way, we must first define our words and understand our goals. We must decide that, internationally or domestically, the star of real liberty must be maintained as indispens able. We must abhor collectivism as an Ideal, and compromise with it reluctantly and temporarily only to the extent truly necessary to bring justice to the individual. We must abhor oneness domination, totalitar ianism, dictatorship, and remember always that an individual - enslaved to the state by any means whatever will have no more liberty and ' democracy than the fluctuating goodness and justice of that controlling force. . Men do not take well that kind of power either as heads of worlds or any of the subdi visions of society including nations, states, counties, cities, or even labor unions. Jap Broadcast Mentions Fori Klamath Soldier : FORT KLAMATH On May 16, Mr. and Mrs. Henry W. Orth received a telegram from the war - department at Washington D. C, advising them to pay no atten tion to a JaDanese short wave broadcast in which the name of their son. Pvt. James H. Orth, was mentioned, and stated that the army was investigating and would advise them further. , Pvt. Orth has been a prisoner of the Japanese since the fall of Corregidor in , the Philippines two years ago, and is now in Manchukuo, in Japanese-occupied China, having been trans ferred there from the Philippines some time ago. In these two years, the only communication received directly from their son 1 Vl V TvTr DtlH Mp. firth an, n written postcard signed by him, aiuiougn iney wnie to nun regu larly each veek. Upon receiving the cryptic wire irom me war department, the Orths were considerably worried, imagining any number of things happening to their son which could have caused men tion of his name in a Japanese broadcast. Their relief was great the next day when they received the following telegram: Washington D. C. Mav 17. iDdd Mrs. Edna Orth, Box 250, Fort Klamath, Ore. Following short-wave broad cast from Japan has been inter cepted, quote "Dear Mother p-A Gem of Thought From Idella's 1 A ship welder's husband named Gray ; Met his wife at the dock each pay day " He said. "If I don't meet her, you see, ; She sneaks away from me, And In beauty parlors squanders her psy." Citrate of Magnesia . . AT. IDELLA'S What a Gal! 484 s. eth 25c Pbotw SM and Dad: I am glad to get the chance to write this letter. I am all right and hope you are the same. ', Tell everyone hello, and I wish I was there with you. Maybe I will be some day. How are the kids around town? Be sure to tell them hello. Does Don nie Gray ever write home. I am well so don't worry. With Love, Your son, James Henry Orth." Evidence of the authenticity of the letter which was read over the Japanese broadcast is proved by mention of Donnie Gray, who enlisted in the marine, corps about the same time Orth enter ed the U. S. army, PFC Gray is now in California, and is a veter an of the Guadalcanal campaign where he saw active service with the marine corps. He was re cently home on furlough. 1 By a coincidence, the second wire from the war department, arriving on May 17, came on the 21st birthday anniversary of Pvt. Orth, which also marked the birthday of his mother, Mrs. Edna Orth. If it's a "frozen" article you need, advertise for a used one in the classified. Drop Everything lortnit Amazing Way!

"Thanks." . I am a soldier stationed at an air field in "Orlando, Florida" and I have been in the army for some time now, and never can take a furlough because I haven't any place to go or visit. I had the privilege before I en listed in the army, to enjoy a welcome I shall never forget. I was in your little city of "Klam ath Falls" at Christmas time, and I met so many nice people there. They all treated me swell, and you will never know how much I appreciated their kindness. I have met another fellow here in my outfit that is alone also, and he would love to be able to visit there with me. I would like to know if I could come and visit your town when I get a fur lough, which is coming up soon? I would like to know if we could get a room and visit all the nice people I met there? I would like to know If they could be so nice as to lot a couple of lonely sol diers enjoy a dream of a furlough in your city? By the way, the the fellow that has the skating rink there sure treated me swell. I shall never forget his kindness. I will close now, and send my best wishes to all the people of "Klamath"and God bless them. I remain, sincerely, Pvt. Robert D. H earn 21, Pvt. Charles Muskwick 30. 903th Base Unit, AAF, G. Sec.
