Every day (that it continues, the spuds put on weight and the 'HI, m a t I!, 1, If fPfl 1 size, and the prospects grow brighter for a whale of a crop that will dwarf potato sta tistics of past years If frosts hold off until well Into September, Charley Hen derson's estimated 12,500 car loads from the basin may be realized. That meant, of course, an enormous harvest labor problem. But it is not an insurmount able problem. It has been an- EPLEY ticipated, and a lot ot advance 5 ', work has been done on it. The experience of 1 the recent years of regular labor shortage will 2 ! be helpful. If the entire basin community, S i town and country alike, is gripped with de- termination to get in the crop, it will be ; j harvested. , , , . -g J Fuming at Espee IN the neighboring town of Medford, there Bel is still angry fuming at the Southern Pacific 5 - railroad because it doesn't run passenger serv 5 I ice from there to Dunsmuir. This has been 2 ! going on for years, the most interesting recent g development being a government suit to force ' the Espee to give through service on the grounds 5 ' that it got heavy land grants, in the last cen-' f tury, with the understanding it would provide m i such service on the line. ;g Credit for that legal development must go to 5 ' Congressman Harris Ellsworth of the fourth district, who happened onto the land grant S provision in a big book one day in Washington m ? and called it to the attention of government 'J lawyers. The suit has been filed, but has not .at f been tried. 5 1 In normal times, it is presumed that any S i profit-seeking railroad will run trains where '5 I the business Justifies it. It is a little difficult 5 i to imagine the necessity of forcing a railroad t to take business which awaits it. But that, of S I course, 'is not specifically the technical issue J i here, and maybe the courts will hold that 5 I trains must be run, regardless of the business . I justification. at The attitude of Klamath Falls toward the t Medford problem, as indicated in a chamber 5 i of commerce resolution, is that we are sympa 8 I thetic so long as Medford service doesn't 5 j mean taking trains away from the straighter,' a f faster, better Klamath line. a I Engle and Mayo 5 -ml IN another neighboring area the nearby dis f S ' I tricts of northern California an interesting ? "2 1 political situation has developed in the con gressional race between Congressman Clair Engle, democrat, and James Mayo, republican. Engle is a personable guy who has had a & I raopii s 1001 in nis pocKei since ne entered 1 the congressional picture a couple of years ago i after the death of Renubliean Congressman Englebright He won then because too many republicans came out" for the job and split the republican vote, which was heavier than the democratic. Then the Jap camp affair gave him a swell publicity break, and he has been going right along, building political fences. He has managed to present himself as a demo crat who isn't necessarily a New Dealer. Thus :he can -appeal-to rabid democrats, who haven't . - anybody else to vote for, and to republicans who do not love the New Deal. I Mayo also ran for the Englebright vacancy and might have won if Mrs. Englebright had ! not been in the contest and split the vote. His' . best chance now lies in the fact that the dis- . trict is normally republican in congressional vote, as is proved by Republican Englebright's return to term after, term. His main problem is to offset the clever political maneuvering of : Engle, who is a nice guy and a smooth worker. ill he could make the republicans get into line land quit playing with a democrat, he might ! get in. . war production board from business, but that it the least of the story. True enough, the secondary business leadership remaining down inside WPB is .not the dynamic type. New, thirty. six year old top man Krug has not had a career wmcn would develop business coiv tacts, except adversely (he was an engineer in the TVA and WPB). Coming up in his outfit are MALLON men like Maury Maverick, New Deal politician and head of the smaller war plants division, who has been conducting a novel business-endearing campaign for months, taking every business complaint from every con gressman as a major issue, writing nice letters to the business involved, to the congressmen and anyone who might be pleased thereby. Behind Krug will be the similar New Deal men who try to persuade FDR into left-handed trails at every fork of the road. - But this aftermath of the fatal Nelson-Wilson feud is only a side phase of the greater evidence that the whole business reconversion program has become involved in tanglefoot up to its knees the same glue which mlrcd WPB. Great sectors of the home front, upon which the immediate economic future of the country depends, have become leaderless or confused by conflicting leadership, which is worse. Harsh and over-strained as these words may sound, they spring from a mere scanning of surface events, and are beyond concealment. Mr. Roosevelt appreciated reconversion as a dominating phase of the peace prospects and last winter designated his wise man, Bernard Baruch, to work out a policy, . Baruch Follows Orders BARUCH did, and his man, James F. Byrnes, was appointed, to' carry it forward, but Baruch has been, in either silent rage or despair (both seem justifiable by the disregard of his leadership) and has said not a word lately, while Byrnes has told congress he was quitting the demobilization directorship, and his friends fear he also will quit the government January 1. On the disposition of surplus property. Will Clayton, the official administrator, advocated one course before congress only to find himself blocked (not by republicans) but New Dealers who protested his plan to turn land over to the RFC (Jones) instead of the department of agriculture (Wickard) or interior (Ickes). There , is, therefore, no official policy on surplus prop erty, and no leadership. The CIO-New Deal element promoted the Murray-Kilgore bill on industrial unemploy ment, but their-efforts to get the president out in front for them, had failed up to the moment this column went to press, and congress is passing a' modified George bill, sponsored by the more conservative administration elements. There is no White House policy and conflicting leadership in this matter. Contract termination legislation has been passed, but is involved in administration con flicts, and from the diverse ways of the demo cratic leaders in congress, shows the adminis tration attitude has not been defined in any reconversion conflict (see also Wilson's resigning statement). GOP Watches, Waits REPUBLICANS are sitting back, waiting for the right time to say this all proves what Governor Dewey contended, that the elderly men here have demonstrated their ineptitude; that the Roosevelt machine is going to pieces. They can make much of Mr. Roosevelt's con fusing statements on the Nelson-Wilson matter. Friday, August 18, the president denounced questions about Nelson being exiled to China as "wrong and unjust," and a "disservice to the country," whereas the following Friday, he welcomed and encouraged the same speculative inquiry by saying it. was "an iffey question" (meaning it might or might not happen). - The difficulty is so- glaring, I look for Mr. Roosevelt to move first. Always in the past, he has covered similar administrative failures by creating a grand, and glorious new organization on top of the failing bureaus. I look for a message to congress or a public statement -of some kind, shaking up the man power commission and : perhaps some other bureaus, establishing some new official leader ship on the issues, with perhaps a' new super duper outfit with a catchy alphabetical name to conceal this post-war XYZ, denoting both an unknown quantity and complete mystery.

May- Be tne indepen dent merchant hates the chains. Or the railroads hate the buses. Ri val profession al men yield to hate for each other. Then clubs get to hat ing each other or communi ties or entire na t i o n s. Per- haps that is innate in humanity. that easily aroused tendency to hate. But It is certainly a damp er on that world peace for which we are all so eager. The best time to check-mate hate the best time to win any controversy, is before there arises mac intense bitterness, from which hate can develon, B e fo r e either you or the other fellow can elve in with out sacrificing some - of your sen respect. Try thinking or this man whom you are tending to hate, in this way: -not that you are as good as ne is, but that HE is just as good as YOU are. It is amazing what a difference there is between those two viewpoints. , "est in Memory Garden."
