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.

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.

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.

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. '" "Mr- Roosevelt's vice president without the title.

could be seen moving about the still stand ine

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 ....

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-

A falling snag crushed Ray
mond Smith, 42, near Canyon

increase In wages (in accord
with the president's announced
policy.)
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.
