Assoc la led PreM Uembtr Audit Bureau Circulation -strict Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY pTRONGLY partisan political 1 discussion Is S usually worth a few smiles. ; : A favorite device used by phiggers for the Roosevelt administration is to remind people -oi the bread lines of ine lauer v " years of the Hoover adminis tration. All one has to do to get them back, of course, is to vote republican. On the other side, we notic ed an editorial recently from a OOP partisan who said that Roosevelt caused the depres sion. Hoover had it scheduled for a licking, but Roosevelt's election and post - election policies so disturbed and un settled everything that it went on to become a honey of a depression by the time FDR got into office. Our own idea is that the depression was a world-wide affair and could not be laid at any body's door. It happened to occur during Hoover's administration. This writer was -a registered democrat and voted for Al Smith, in-. 1928 He's pretty sure the depression would have occurred if AI had been elected. Al just happened to be a guy who missed the train that ran off the bridge, f A world depression occurred in the Hoover administration. A world war occurred in the Roosevelt administration. ' If Hoover caused the depression, then it could be argued. that Roose velt caused the war. Neither conclusion makes sense. , . - t'--v a wM$t jiL-3iSS EPLEY That Reputation KLAMATH people who. happened to listen to the Southern Pacific's' "Mainline" broad cast last night no doubt got a thrill out of the announcer's declaration that Klamath Falls had won nationwide publicity through its hospitality to service men. Our great Commandos, our military service committee, and the general at ; titude of the community, have helped to create ( that reputation. S It is Important that we live up to it Doing ; that does not necessarily mean big, spectacular ' ' things. It means thousands of little things good deeds that you and I can do for service people day In and day out. It means keeping rents down to reasonable levels for service-people, taking them with you on fishing trips jtnd other outings, inviting them into your homes, being friendly and spilling to them .on. ithe streets.!, v. . .; ' .y No individual resident-oi;, the community should forget his particular, part of this pro i gram. . , News Behind the News . r . By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Aug- 24 More important people than C. E. Wilson, the vice chair man, have been after the war production board to China or even farther,-all E, fS&fes the way back to Sears Roc buck, whence he came. The president's strong right arm ' (though somewhat limp and sore now himself) James F. Byrnes long has been align ed, against him. Also Harry Hopkins' man. General Brehon B. Somervell, long has hoped. and planned tor the worst for Mr. Nelson. The -latest Inside cause for renewed anger was a report on army produc ; tion made by two of Nelson's assistants seeming MALL ON to show Somervell . wrong in his figures on army shortages. This report Mr. Nelson is supposed to have sent to the chief of stuff. General George C. Mai-shall with an invitation to look it over. It claims Somervell was able to arrive at his shortnges only by transferring title of equip ment and supplies from his own department to army transportation, or the bureau of ordnance or some other army subdivision. Mere mention of such a report sends official tempers flying and the sub-officials whisper, "it has been suppressed. At 'first Mr. Nelson understood he would be in China for only two or three weeks at the most. But since then, he has read In the papers he is to be there 60 to 90 days the so-called crucial period as far as developments within WPB concerning the Nelson method of piece meal return to peacetime production (80 per cent increase he says) or the Wilson-Somervell idea of- waiting for mass reconversion. a . a a . . Wallace Went There r ' 'SENATORS ' and congressmen' lilso read the J papers and they not only criticized the China mission, they threatened to : investigate To ; them 'Nelson is small business as far as the government is concerned, and they want him here. It vas their upprehensionr which eaused 'Mr.-Roosevelt to issue his denials. But when the president said the Nelson mis sion to China is "most pressing," tha congress . men remembered Vice "Fresident Wallace was the last to undertake a pressing mlssldn in that direction, only to lose his job, even with Mr. ' Roosevelt's support. , ..... , . . The president also said there would be no change in WPB policy (he mentioned nothing about chairmen), but the earlier. White House announcement had specifically designated Mr. Nelson's enemy on this issue, Mr. Wilson, to be acting chairman, in which seat he will have many opportunities to act with and without Mr. Roosevelt's notice. Therefore, Mr. Roosevelt has not been able to dispel entirely the common supposition among the business elements within WPB that the army get rid of Mr. Nelson for the coming 60 to 90 days at least, and possibly for longer. Civilians tend to sympathize with the Nelson .case, but there is an untold side to the army stand also. For instance, it can now be related General Eisenhower, two or three weeks ago, suddenly ordered 80,000 trucks to be shipped immediately. , Apparently he decided to move his army, forward into Germany on trucks en . tirely, disregarding railroad repair. ' ' - Now 80.00Q is. a sensational number ot trucks (and the army has been claiming a shortage in this line), but they were found stored around the country, and the major war operation of getting them to the seaboard and aboard ships has proceeded satisfactorily. The army and navy feel they must produce twice as much as they think ' they will need, in order to have enough. , In battle you cannot afford to be caught short. -- e a a a Back to Midwest ATOP this, Pacific coast ; senators say 8000 ..war workers have been leaving California each month since the end of the European war became evident. They are moving back to the ..midwest .farm regions. . A news account esti mated 4000 to 5000 leaving the San Francisco area each month. ':'" Furthermore, strikes are being called for trivial occurences, just to get a rest. Such excuses as the firing of a foreman, transfer of inspectors, upgrading of a riveter, abandonment of a 15-minute rest period, etc., have been used for strikes lately. The army and navy - fear - that when the European war ends, the workers will not sus tain their interest for Japan. The military will start drumming congress for an industrial draft act again, unless they get the production they -want. There should be some reasonable common ground for .starting much civilian production immediately as Mr. Nelson- wants, without in terfering with the army and navy, to which his adversaries object,, but no one seems to have found it. . Thus the struggle waxes, first with Mr. Nelson on top pushing the policy of piecemeal reconversion particularly for small business, and now the Somervell-Wilson men running the works to delay reconversion to a single big peacetime operation, which will surely cause unemployment hardships as well as needless shortages of civilian goods.
