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. , . -

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. . .; '

should forget his particular, part of this pro

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.

LADY OF THE MOUNTAIN
- By Loora Curry Smith
Lady,- lady of til mountain;
With your violin a.tune.
As you stood beside your camp
fire Neath the glimmer of the moon
With your old, familiar music
Floating upward through the
trees
Was it strange that teardrops
started
At the surge of memories? ,
Lndy, lady of the mountain.
When the night winds softly
blow
I still hear the sad, sweet music
That you fashioned .with your
bow, , .
For you set my heart a dreaming
Of a time that could not last
When you played your old, old
music
Fraught with heart ache of the
past.

How Different Will be
Post-war Homes? :
Matt Doorly, our local carperr
ter, has been showing us archi
tect's drawings of the kind of
- post-war houses that we're go
ing to live in. Some of them look
like squared-off dominoes; some .
are streamlined like they were
going to fly. And they're aU
filled with fancy things like air
conditioning and whatnot
"Sore change our home life!"
Matt says importantly.
"Shucks," says Dan Mason,.
"It isn't the shape of a house, or
the gadgets in It, that make up
your home life.'
"What is it then?" says Matt
"It's the Btfle things," says
Dan. -Like a well-worn chair
before the flre-and a good book
-and a friendly glass of beer
after a hard day's work. Little
things, that are a part of living."

small, familiar pleasures, that
