Published avaiy afternoon except Sunday at Esplanade and Pine itraeu, Klamath FalU, Oregon, by the Herald Publishing Ca And the New Publishing Company. now, but we could see hundreds of ducks end geese below us. We landed, without Incident, et the CAP new, ana tied down the Cub. Member, Asaoclated Preea Member. Audit . Bureau Circulation rf Ml f sjie j Today's Roundup j By MALCOLM EPLEY WE told Phil Hitchcock that his job was scaring birds, not his passenger, as we climbed into a yellow Piper Cub this morning to eo alone on one of .those grain protection flights car ried out daily by the Klamath civilian air patrol. The idea, Phil had explain ed to us, was to fly out low over grain fields in -the Tule lake area, frightening birds out of the grain and then herding them off the fields. The CAP has an arrangement with a number of growers to provide this service. Accepting the invitation to , EPLEY go along meant getting up at 5:15 a. m. today. Breakfast down .town, and we drove out to the CAP airport at Worden, which is located on a low, flat area adjoining the Tulana farms Lower Klamath headquarters.! It was our first look at this field, which the civilian fliers developed . after the. navy took over the municipal airport. It ; doesn't look much like the mighty air station south of town, but it has served its purpose. '- The three run ways are. dirt-surf aged. There were a dozen or so small planes tied down in--the hangar, which is principally roof and without sides. Up In the Sunlight A CUB was wheeled out,5 gassed; and warmed up. . ' :. .- The sun still lay behind the dark ridge to the east as we took- off, but a fiery red glow showed where it would soon, come up. Off to the southwest, Mt. Shasta already stood out in the bright light. Soon we, too.-were up in the sunlight, while the wide grain fields of Lower Klamath still lay in purplish shadow below us. We headed for the ridge that separates Lower Klamath from Tule lake. A perfect calm pre vailed, and the plane skimmed along as smooth- ly as if it were rolling on glass: The hour and a half flight passed without hitting even one of those airpockets that always make this landlubber's leg muscles tighten and his stom ach squirm. By the time we were over Tule lake, the . sun was up and the vast, ripe grain fields presented a bright picture of yellow patchwork. Here and there were signs of life as harv est crews moved out to the fields. Dust trailed trucks that rolled along the dikes and ditch- It was, of course, a picayunish flight as flying goes in this air age. We recount the story here because it took us over our own country, famil iar to nearly everyone hero from the ground and many from the . air. (And maybe many more, before long.) And that low flying, which was new to us, provided an intimacy with the landscape, the grain, the birds, and even the harvest crews, that we have never before ex perienced from the air. And only the birds had been scared! Returning on the Weed road, it was hard to shed the illusion of flying. We think our businessman-pilot, who was at the wheel of the car, had the same experience. He had dodged a lot of ducks in the plane. One flew across the road in front of the car, and he swung to the left. He looked at us out of the corner of his eye, and straightened the car out on the road again. News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Sept. 6 The story of what happened on the vice presidency at the democratic national convention may be a long time coming out in full. The perplexing series of events which killed DH.iJ.nl 1,. ! ! I. If1 'framh WW' benediction, strangely caused the unexplained withdrawal of the president's right hand man Jimmy Byrnes at a time when he had more delegates than anyone, ' and then sud denly brought Truman put of nowhere for the prize, will re quire a lot of personal ex plaining from tliii participants who are not yet ready to talk. But. most of it can now be .-. MALLON told with the necessary assurance of competent anonymous auinoruy, to wit: . . ., Precisely the same thing happened as In 1940 when the president told a number of possible running mates that he favored them, but this time apparently he put much of it in writing. ine president s puDiic endorsement of Wal lace in his letter was made with the full know. ledge that Wallace, unquestionably, could not De nominated. About two weeks before the convention Dem. ocratic National Chairman Hannegan had ad- visea mr. jKoosevelt that Wallace either should not or could not win I think it was "should not." The liabilities of Wallace were well recog nized. SIDE GLANCES ( cow, iw iy nn mvttt, ntc. t. n ta u. . m. on .' Untitled V.P.E. k lATtTRALLX; then, official; thought turned I to Byrnes, who had retired from a life job on the supreme court to function in fact as banks. Some trucks were already in the fields.

Buzzing the Field - PHIL pointed out a field along the west side of the lake "and nosed dowir toward it. By the time we , reached its; edge, we were only 15 or 20 feet above the ground. It was almost like riding through it in a car.' We crossed" the' field near the edge of the watered sump,-: where the ducks and geese were likely -to ;be. We crossed one corner of the water and; swept the far end of the field. In this field, -we scared Up a few ducks, and wu ur mrue docks ot geese rose up ponderously handling all economic and many political war matters rrom me wnite House and already authorized to handle post-war demobilization. In private conversations, Mr. Hannegan quoted the president then as preferrine Bvrnes to any other man mentioned, a natural conse quence of the way Mr. Roosevelt had seemed to be grooming Byrnes to take over,, Several of Byrnes' friends also heard the same thing di- ctnjr uum uie president. ' Upon these overtures, Byrnes became inter ested and privately became a candidate. I think Kelly and Hague worked for him, as well as many congressmen with whom he was excep tionally popular. ; . . But at that time (a few days before the con vention) New York's Ed Flynn went to the StaTEf back ver th Srain. "We'll buzz .' president and opposed Byrnes on the ground wis one again on the way back," said Phil, and headed off across the water toward fields down near me lava peas and the G.N. The hunting was better here. Big flocks of ducks rose up ahead of us. They swung off to one side, or the other, and stretched, their necks in high speed flight as we fanned their tails. -When ducks appeared straight ahead, our dexterous pilot swung the light plane easily and missed them. We kept our eye on thrm .... came back, we herded them off the field if they persisted m sticking around. Herding ducks in that the negro voters would nh wt 0 southerner on the ticket and this would impede his-campaign for Roosevelt in New York state. I think he said the acceptance of Byrnes would lose New York state for Roosevelt. -Now the Byrnes people knew of the coming Wallace letter but knew nothing of a Truman Douglas letter which was written by the presi dent the same day, July 13, before starting on his secret trip west, although ' this Truman- "U"S" endorsement was dated six days later Th r9' the: day the convention was to open. an airplane may sound fan w6 u ZZ"''?. . ln.ougnt .

Hannegan telephoned Mr. Roosevelt on the Pacific coast about the stand taken by' Mur ray and Hillman, and Ed Flynn also phoned the president reiter ating his views. The president then informed Hannegan .that Byrnes would be a political liability and should not be nom inated that Hannegan. should go ahead with Truman. The Byrnes people were so inform ed and he withdrew. These facts will come out officially when the participants start talking. : Personally I have been inter ested because I had been caught on a limb predicting Byrnes, a unique position I never enjoy. But the story explains much of the recent news the re ported dissatisfaction of Mr. Byrnes, his statement that he would not be post-war demob il izer although he already is it, a printed report that he will retire after election, January 1, and return to private law prac tice (after having given up the supreme court for Mr. Roose velt, a fact which makes me doubt that this will come to pass) and also the rise of Sen ator Truman out of nowhere.
