Today's Roundup
, ' ' ,'' By MALCOLM EPLEY " ' ' . '
. joNICIPAL politics may, and should, warm
M up earlier than usual this year to speed
up the preparation of ballots for use of Klamath
, mon who mav warn tu v.
take a hand in choosing among .'N'W-
caiidmaies lor tuy uun.c. r.
All of the city candidates
will run as independents, and
independent candidates should
complete uiun- mmea u. t-.j
September in order to get on P
me sl-ivjv-c ins, mmi.ww.
If there are any independent
candidacies this year for coun
ty or district office, they, too,
should be filed by mid-September.
.
The county clerk must have the ballots ready
for mailing to service men by September 22,
or 45 days before the November election. She
should have at least five days before that to
get the ballots printed with all candidacies
listed.
No candidate will want to be in the position
of having failed to cooperate in this effort to
provide ballots for service men. and therefore
early filings of all candidacies may be expected.
Two New Faces Sure
FIRST real development in the municipal
political situation was the announcement
by Treasurer Ruth Bathiany that she will not
be a candidate for re-election. Mrs. Bathiany
has held the office for 14 years, and has run
at times without opposition. Her retirement
from the field necessitates at least one new
candidacy for this office.
It appears also that Mayor Houston will not
seek re-election. Suggestions from many citi
zens that he run again have evidently proved of
no avail and the mayor, for personal reasons,
may announce within a few days that he will
retire definitely from city politics at the end
of the present year.
That will mean at least two .new" faces in the
city official family at the beginning of 1945.
a
Hospitality Pays
A SAMPLE of the favorable "community
advertising" which Klamath can receive
from its hospitality program for service men is
found In the following excerpt from the mimeo
graphed bulletin of the Irving Park Methodist
Episcopal church of Chicago, dropped on this"'
desk by Dr. George Wright:
"Mike Rybarczyk thrilled his family by
appearing back in the states. He was sent'
to the new big marine base at Klamath
Falls, Oregon, where his fiancee, lone
Pepple of Elkhart, Ind., Joined him to be
married on June 7th. When the senior
hostess at the camp heard this news, she
insisted, on their being married in her
home, it being her birthday, and provided
a nice wedding cake and all the wedding
frills. She loaned them her car and gave
them a wedding gift in addition. What
kind of people 'there are In this world?
Our heartiest congratulations and best
wishes to these young people who are here
on furlough." . . :
That, we believe, is the real spirit of Klamath
MALLON
News Behind ihe News
By PAXIL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 The administration
seems preparing, with resumption of the
congressional session, to promote legislation for
what could be another WPA.
The CIO-Kilgore bill, back
ed by left-wing new dealers,
proposes unemployment com
pensation for war workers up
to $35 a week, in effect estab
lishing this amount as a mini
mum wage since no one would
care to work for less.
A hue and cry is being
spread that there. may be 19,
000,000 unemployed, and un
der the pressure of that fabu
lous suDnosition. the move
ment is being generated for the utmost funds,
to be handled by the federal government in
time for election usage, if the peace comes as
soon as Mr. Churchill has predicted.
Mr. Roosevelt's running mate, Senator Tru
man, engineered the bill out of the military
affairs committee, no doubt under order.
This may be at least one fresh- factor behind
Governor DeweyV recent concentration of at-
tack upon the centralization of authority in
the federal government. Certainly no amount
of money could be raised to match the $30,
000,000,000 campaign influence of such an in
dustrial unemployment compensation measure,
plus the soldier benefits up to $25 already
passed.
New NRA Looms .
ALSO, its provision opened legal possibilities
for such things as a new NRA, ordering
businesses to work, refusing to give materials
to businesses which do -not cooperate,-etc.-
The form "of the legislation is what -will
count. If It is to be taken out of politics,
congress will have to. adopt some modification
of the federalized controls as well as modify
the rates. "
Democratic Senator George has a bill which
would set up a state method of payment in
accordance with the existing- social security
scheme, now povering 30,000,000 people. The
federal government would guarantee . the solv
ency of state funds although state directors
contend they have a sufficient sum of four to
five billions to meet the shock of post-war
employment now credited to them.
A third course has been offered by Economic
Stabilizer James F. Byrnes, -somewhat like the
Kilgore bill, unifying standards under, federal
management and reimbursing the states. While
this was presumed to be the official adminis
tration idea, it appears now that Truman, not
Byrnes, is acting, for the White House even
though the bill violates several recommenda
tions of the president's special advisor on this
subject, Mr. Baruch.
Will Probably Lose
THE reason the CIO course will probably lose
in the end is that alU states, -.'democratic
and republican, are resentful" of -.the inroads that
have been made on, their sovereignty and fear
ful of what this wolild do to business. v. ,
Most republicans probably will join in behind
the George measure along with- the southern
" states-rights democrats. ; -. ...:''
As republican Senator Varidenberg has said,
the Kilgore rates' would 'riot only; give the in
dustrial workers, who have-been making highest
war salaries, a greater benefit than the soldier,
but would be more than; a normal wage for
many ordinary non-war workers. In. the south,
he thinks, no.one. would work jor a time.
As fax as northern industrial states are con
cerned, some how 'pay over-$20 a week in
benefits, consequently, there will be a tendency
to delay action on the measure in the belief
that the states can care for the situation.
Humane Society Motes
Interesting Stories About Klamath Animals
and Efforts in Their Behalf
-By Jean Bingay Young-
I am going to talk about "hot
dogs" today, although I do not
know just how well these hints
will be received just now, with
out automatic furnaces coming
on in the middle of the night.
But we will have some hot
weather yet. However, I am go
ing to give you a few suggestions'
that may make your pets more
comfortable when that time
comes.
No dog should ever be with
out fresh cool water especially
during hot weather. During ex
tremely hot weather the amount
of solid food should be decreased
about 50 per cent and the
amoumV of liquid food increased
proportionately. Buttermilk is an
excellent food for dogs during
hot weather. Do not be afraid
that he will starve. Most peo-
pie iceu ineu- aogs too mucn and
too often. ,
Exercise should be kept at a
minimum and given' during the
early morning or in the evening.
Fits are often the result of exer
cise immediately after meals. I
am told that if your dog is fed
on meat and vegetables and giv-
en a little triple calcium phos
phate (this can be obtained at
any drug store) sprinkled from a
salt shaker and mixed with the
food, he. will not develop, the
itching eczema that hot weather
so often brings. I have not tried
this personally.
It should not need emphasis,
but the thoughtless practice 'of
shutting dogs (and children) in
closed cars is the cause of much
suffering. Dogs suffer from heat
stroke just the same as humans,
Better leave them at home.
Cats: Adapt their habits to the
weather far more completely
than any other animal. They are
practically never victims of hot
weatner ailments due to the tem
perature itself. Do not overfeed
but give plenty of water.
However, cat typhoid accom
panies hot weather and the fly
season. Very little is known in
regard to prevention, but it
seems reasonable to scald the
dishes from which they are fed
immediately before using them,
so as to destroy any infection
mat migni nave oeen lett tnere
by flies. 'Flies ' should be kept-
out oi tne .nome ana cats should
not have the opportunity to catch
them. Fleas have also been found
to carry the virus .of cat typhoid
and a can of flea powder is a
very sensible investment at this
time of year. At -the first sign
or uiness involving any animal,
of course the veterinary should
oe consulted at once.
A great many complaints are
coming to us about dogs making
nuisances of themselves by bark
ing, howling, yelping and attack
ing people passing by. The Hu
mane society has no jurisdiction
over this, but city officials have.
There are ordinances whereby
any person can make a com
plaint. This sort of thing is frequent
ly the cause of outbreaks of
poisoning. Of course in the onin-
ion of most people, there is
something abnormal about the

mentality of a person who would
poison an animal. They have the
remedy of correcting the situa
tion legally and after all it is not
the fault of the animal but that
of the owner who is too lazy and
selfish to train his dog. It is
amazing the indifference of some
people to the disturbance of a
whole neighborhood and to the
disturbance of the much needed
rest of hardworking neighbors
who need their rest.
The Bible is no longer fashion
able, but the Golden Rule "Do

should do unto you" is a pretty
good- recipe- for peaceful living
with your neighbors.

Adjustment in Foodstuff
Supplies Needed in Lend
Lease Program With Isies
324X ADJUSTMENT
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (JP)
The United States has furnished
Britain with about $2,000,000,
U00 worth of foodstuffs in tho
three and a. quarter years that
lend-lease has oeen in ODeration.
This is Uie most important ele
ment of civilian supply that will
require adjustment when only
uie war wun japan remains.
A steady curtailment in lend.
lease aid to the British Isles,
paralleled by a return to normal
commercial trade, is expected
after Germany is defeated.
However, so far as can be
learned, no program to that end
has been worked out and offi
cials plan to make the curtail
ment only when they have a real
situation to work with.
It is impossible at this time.
one authority said, to estimate
just what lend-lease help the
British will need to concentrate
tneir ellorts in the final cam
paigns to crush Japan. Here,
nuwevei, is ine oacKgrouna
against which decisions must he
made when the time .comes:.
in tne lirst tnree years of
lend-lease, March 1941 through
March 1944, lend-lease ship,
ments to all nations totaled S17,
195,0U0,000. Of thai amount $7,-
306,000,000 went to the United
Kingdom.
The United Klnsdom total
consisted of $3,169,000,000 ot
munitions such as guns and
tanks, $1,853,000,000 of indus
trial materials and products
sucn as macninery and processed
petroleum, and $2,284,000,000
ot agricultural supplies, includ
ing both food and farm machln-
"Foodstuffs alone totaled $1,
823,000,000 which means that
food shipments to the British
Isles have averaeed about S50.-
000,000 a month. The volume ot
iooa tena-ieasea is described of
flclally as representing about 10
per cent of Britain's total supply.
Meanwhile reverse lend-lease,
most of It Kiven in the British
Isles, amounted to $1,526,170,-
uuu up to last January, the lat
est period for which figures are
currently available.
British reverse lend-lease has
been chiefly in grounds, facili
ties and services for air and mili
tary bases. American supplies
to Britain have run the list ot
military supplies and those civil
ian supplies principally food
which were considered essential
to the maintenance of Britain as
a fighting nation.

BACK PAY
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
tho Editor) If yon w 11 lwrmit
space in your pnper I'd like to
let you nnd the puhllc know
how rljilit tho ciitpentors woro
when they asked tor Unit addi
tional 2V cents per hour on
theie war projects.
You will remember thero was
quite a controversy lust Novem
ber when tho who sculo lor
carpenters was cut to $1.35 per
hour on tho air base mid the
local union protested be tiij
forced to tnko this cut and filed
a complaint with tho war labor
board. However, on Juno 1!8,
somo seven months litter, the
wage adjustment board rend
ered, a decision to the eftect
that under Kcneral order No. 3
and tho waKo stabilization act,
the proper wage of $1,374 was
prevailing in this area and
should be paid to the workers.
This required the payment of
back wages to tho carpenters
by all tho contractors on federal
works. The K. T. Henderson
and Brennan and Cahoon com
panies immediately agreed to
make up tho buck payrolls and
later tho Morrison-Knudsen
Twaits company also agreed to
pay this rctroactlvo pay and
checks are now being issued to
tho men who have this money
coming.
This local union would appre
ciate it if you would make such
announcements as are necessary
to have those men who are 'io
longer employed on the gov
ernment projects write In for
the back wages due them. They
can either address the company
for which they worked or the
local union.
We wish to call your attention
to the fact that there was no
actual time lost by the carpen
ters AFL unions in getting this
adjustment, even though wo
had to wait somo seven or eight
months for the wage adjust
ment board to correct an error
made by the department of la
bor in predetermining the wage
scales of the carpenters. I take
pride in pointing out the fact
that tho members have re
mained at work In helping tho
war effort and even though tho
departments handling this affair
took plenty of time to decide
what we knew was correct, our
members were very patient and
did not cause any work stop
page on either of the main proj
ects In this area.
Hoping you and the public
will give us credit for being
conservative and patriotic in
our efforts to live up to tho no
strike pledge of the AFL, cvon
when we are right, I remain,

Attorney Charges Prezs
With Inducing Cynicism
MILWAUKEE. Aug. 9 (A")
Morris L. Ernst, New York at
torney, declared at the Ameri
can Newspaper Guild convention
today that newspaper practices
"havo Induced a terrible cyni
cism" among the reading public
and that "30 men control the
pipelines to the minds of the na
tion." "Names are unimportant."
F.rnst said In an address to tho
dclogatos, "but remember that
thero are five big movie compan
ies, four radio networks, the
Syndicate and Press association
group and the fact that 300 out
of 900 radio stations are owned
by newspapers.
"Newspapers now are prob
ably as good as wo can get or
deserve, but they havo lost the
confidence of the public and the
confidence of tholr own em
ploycs."
Ernst said thai thero were
1103 towns and cities in the
United States which are serv
iced by only one newspaper, and
that such "press monopolies"
have caused the public to lose
confidence in what they read.
"I see no hope for new leader
ship from within the profes
sion," ho said.
"It can not be overempha
sized that tho, amount of contro
versial matorlal which Is being
withheld by tho government
through obscenity, criminal li
bel, and sedition statutes Is neg
ligent compared with t h e
amount kept out as a result of
cconomlo domination."
Ernst declared that a strong
argument could bo made for tho
promise that Tho Associated
Press has become "affected with
tho public Interest, and it should
therefore deal with all who como
forward."
"A small Journal whose appli
cation for membership in The
Associated Press is denied Is at
