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.

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.

boys I'm mothering since I came
to Klnmath county.
1 nevor would give these
boyt of mine any thing
rtrangor then pop to drink In my
homo. I dine them and many a
time they stay In the apartment
all night, as I have been working
all night as a ntima at the county
leoliillon hospital, But I do man
age to do their wash every week
with my own. 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.
K I lose my roof over my head
for being kind to our boys, then
I say why send our boys over

Johnson Appeal!
Dismissal of Bill
SALEM, Sept. 7 (?) T. 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.
