HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON ACE FOUR MALCOLM EPLEY Manaiin Editor Kntarad N Meond claaa tnatWr at tht poatoffloa yf Klamiui concreu. 1 Uemtar, Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY EACH side in the national political scrap seem to be always in a stew over the amount of money the other is supposed to have. The republican indignation over the political warhest of CIO and pseudo CIO organizations is paralleled by the democratic yowl about contributions to tho republican cause from "vested interests," whatever those are. We have a healthy respect for the power of advertising, and we do not doubt that an effective campaign has to be well-financed. But there is a possibility that a campaign can be too well financed, and too clab- EPLEY orately implemented with the things that money can buy. When it reaches that stage, a lot of people get suspicious of it, and its aims can be frustrated by unfavorable public reaction. The vast majority of people, we believe, are smarter than they are given credit for by some of our politicians. And the vast majority o them, we believe, are strongly favorable to government for "all the people" that is not under obligation to any powerful interest, be it a labor group or something else, through ex cessive financial contributions. Working On Us Not For Us , THIS column agrees with Clair Engle, the California second district congressman, who objected the other day to the dissemination by the war relocation authority of various articles and other material designed to influence the public attitude 'toward Japanese. It is not the WRA's job to try to condition the public mind to anything. Its job is to ad minister the war relocation program. We have received some of the aforemention ed material, and we note that it has not been coming since the Engle blast. We think there is too much propagandizing going on by government bureaus. They are supposed to be working for us, not on us. Staff Sergeant William DeCew has written his wife, Thyrza Anderson DeCew of Klamath Falls, from a B-26 bomber base in England, to the effect that he heard on a radio in England the story about the money a couple of young sters found here and began distributing to people on the street. The amount of the cash was some $800, but by the time the radio told Sergeant DeCew about it in England, it had mounted to $18,000.. News Behind ihe News By PAUL MALLON ; WASHINGTON, Sept- 7 No one thumba his nose at Santa Claus, eh? You have heard of UNRRA, the great government agency . unaer ex-uovernor Lenman, created, to feed a world that was supposed to be starving and expected to rehabilitate a world lain waste? An espec ially tight censorship, Imposed by .the army, - has prevented the '. accurate' extent , of UNRRA's predicament, failure or checkmate from becoming publicly judged. It 'may be that the army has accumulated great stores of, food itself, far beyond any possible needs, and intends to perform itself whatever feeding Is found necessary in Europe. Perhaps, also, Brit ain is overstocked. ' A good Washington authority on the subject has estimated hundreds of millions of pounds MALLON of canned goods (meat, fish, fruit, milk, vege tables) in government-owned storage, and saye the government does not know what to do with it all. He says the army alone can feed Eur ope for six months or more. Doesn't Know MAYBE, tho army does not wish the extent of its over-buying to be known, but I suspect the truth is the army does not even itself know exactly what it has because its stores are scattered in so many places around the world under different ownership (transfers of service titles). Certainly it is true both the army and State Secretary Hull have coughed in their sleeves when UNRRA Is mentioned. They have always appeared to consider it a somewhat political or emotionally-Inspired outfit, created by Mr. Roosevelt to satisfy those Wallace devotees who will Insist on feeding the world whether or not it is hungry, and feeding it a quart of milk a day even if for generations it has spurned milk. But no longer can this be entirely concealed: the European governments do not like UNRRA, do not want it and we do not know or have not begun to know how much starvation there is in Europe or likely to be. The governments which are beginning to take back their liberated countries want to run their own shows themselves and are telling us so, Cen. De Gaulle, in his statement on the liberation of Paris, first praised the French for having liberated their own country, then, in the next paragraph said the United Nations also did great work along that line. The Americans or British were not mentioned by name in the liberation statement. These people look at themselves first, natural ly, and they consider their countries their own, not ours. UNRRA proposed to go in and set up things for them, but it has not gone any .where yet, and Italy, held now for some months, has been handled by the army and the civilian administration it prepared for that purpose. As matters now stand the army apparently intends to handle the rest of Europe the same way. . Neor the Track THROUGH the censorship enough fragmentary light Is developing in the press reports to raise a question whether the line our officials have been dinning into us chiefly on the radio for months is even near the right world-feeding track. Upon landing in Normandy, our troops found no destitution, but eggs, milk and vegetables (even wine) more plentiful than in the England they had just left. Paris reports, since the lib eration, uniformly suggest the people look and claim to be in good health. But this only proves we do not know, and not necessarily that feed ing is unnecessary. An adult may live well on a cereal diet, but a "check of the Parisian chil dren hospitals might disclose a different result in tuberculosis. For Italy, the North African wheat supply has "been lost by failure of the crop, but thrifty farmers in the mountainous regions there are reported to have buried their grain, concealing It - from the nazis during occupation. Indeed, the published reports attribute the Italian food shortage to administrative mismanagement and poor handling by our army people or civilian followers. Denmark has been reported to have a larger dairy cattle population than before the war, but these reports seem - questionable because Denmark relied entirely on imported protein feed from us, and no one can see where she could have received a war supply. These reports lend some credibility to one inside government story that Mr. Roosevelt suspected this condition and gave Lehman the relief job mainly so he would not be out of work after leaving the governorship of New York. . A very small appropriation was given Lehman, most of the government buying being done by the commodity credit and farm credit outfits. It may be too much, however, to say UNRRA has folded for lack of business. Government bureaus never fold. They are merely super seded by other bureaus and. allowed to draw their pay thereafter in perpetual obscurity, as far as possible from the public eye, Well, 'In a sense, yes. SIDE GLANCES Questions Concerning Army Demobilization Answered WASHINGTON. Sept. 7 m Some questions and answers on the army's plans for demobiliza- udii aiier oermany is aeieaiea: , Q. -What Is the average GI's cnance to come nome? A. Small; most of the army's strength will be shifted to the Pacific, and large occupation forces will be needed in Europe. Q. Does the QI lri Europe have a better chance for dis charge than the soldier in the Pacific? , A. No; the total of discharges will be spread : through all theaters. Q.- Which men are most like ly to be released first? A. Soldiers who have small . children at home, and have been overseas and in combat longest. Q. Will units, such as bat talions and divisions, with long combat records be released in tact? A. No; Individuals with top service and dependency ratings will be pulled out for discharge, but the unit will continue. Q. Will men qualifying as "surplus" in overseas theaters be. brought home immediately and released? A. Probably not; shipping will be diverted to supply the Pacific war, and eligible soldiers may have to wait months before ships are available to bring them to the United States. Q. Assuming that, say, 200, 000 men are to be discharged, will the army release the top 200,000 ratings on a service and dependency basis? A. No; soldiers with special quamicaiions needed in the f a cific war will not be released, no matter what their length of service ana corneal record. Q. Will any one branch of the service release more men than tne others? A. The biggest Initial reduc tion will be in the ground forces, such as infantry and artillery; some of these, however, will be transferred to air. and service forces to be trained as reDlace- ments for men in those branches with higher service ratings. Q. Does any particular ratine make a soldier automatically eligible for discharge? A. No; requirements for the pacific war get lirst considera tion, and the rating becomes im portant only when the army de. cides the individual is not needed in tne .paciiic.

WHEAT CHICAGO. Sept. 7 AP The wheat futures market turned strong In late trading today and moved to new night for the session, showing gains of oc-ven-eighths to two cents a bushel pear the cloie. Continued itrength of wheat at Min neapolis was a disturbing factor, trade sources reported, and short scrambled to cover. - Firmness of 'wheat and buying by a prominent professional operator caused i ye futures to rally sharply a'tat they had established new ssssonal lows, rarly In the session September rye sold as much ai 30V cents lower than the high established for that delivery last January. The rally In wheat and rye found many local traders short In the oats pit and when they started to cover the market was bare of offerings.

My manager has told me I eltlior milt doing their wash or she will put mo out. Her excuse Is alio needs the lines. So I washed them indoors and hung them In my own home. But .itlll she Is wild, so she say she Is going to put out a decent motherly woman for washing for four little heroos.

Lester Johnson. Sherman county dis trict attorney, appealed to the state supreme court today from a Marlon county circuit court order dismissing Johnson's suit to prevent the "Little Townsend" Initiative from appearing on the November general election bal lot. The bill would provide mini mum ISO old-age pensions and be financed by a 3 to B per cent gross Income tax. It also would prohibit enactment of a sales tax. The measure would become part of the state constitution. Johnson contends the measure violates a constitutional provi sion that no bill may embrace more than one subject. Circuit Judffcs E. M. Page and George R. Duncan ruled that this provi sion applies only to legislative bills, and not to Initiative measures.
