Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
HOW long has it been since you've seen a
basketball game?
A lot of old-time players and fans nave lost
track of basketball in recent years, u tncy go 10
Saturday nights March o!
Dimes tilt at the high school
gym, they may find the game
has changed somewhat from
the old days, but it is still a
grand sport to watch, filled
with action and a matching of
skill. In some ways, it is a
better spectator's game than it
used to be. .
Saturday . night is a good
time for non-basketball fans to
find out about this grand
same. The Portland inde
pendent team, which has been signed-to play
the Marine Barracks five, is one of the strongest
hoop outfits in the state metropolis, while the
marines have been displaying a lot of fine ball
throughout the season. . . -
In view of the attractions of this game itself,
plus the fact that the proceeds will go to the
worthy infantile paralysis campaign cause, there
should be no trouble in filling the high school
gym to the rafters. For those who want to
make an evening of it, the game and the an
nual President's Ball which follows, offer an in
teresting double bill. Between the two of them,
there should be attraction for just about every
body. Klamath "county's quota for the infantile
paralysis fund this year is $8200. The response
to the basketball game, dance, and other
methods of contributing, should easily go well
over that quota.
Lots of Potatoes
BY the end of January, Klamath basin potato
shipments may hit 10,000 carloads. That
is 200 50-car trains, but it doesn't represent the
year's crop, by any means. There will probably
be another 2000 or 2500 carloads of potatoes
shipped from this basin by the end of move
ment in the spring. .
It appears, however, that season's shipments
will be four-fifths or more complete by the end
of the month, which is unusually high.
February shipments will continue heavy," but
the " crop " will be pretty well disposed of by
March, and this year's shipments in April
should prove relatively low.
The incentive to hold potatoes for higher
prices has been removed by the ceilings. While
ceilings for late shipments are slightly higher,
shrinkage just about takes care of that price
increase. Unless there is a chance for a sub-
stantial price boost, there is no incentive to
hold potatoes' for early spring disposal.

Lodgepole and Jackpine
A READER who-has. always called it jack--pine
asks us if lodgepole pine is the same
thing. It is in our language. Here are .Web
ster's definitions:
Lodgepole pine: A pine (pinus murrayana) of
the western Unitedi States. It is a small or
medium sized tree with rather hard wood. - -
Jackpine: A North American pine (pinus di
varicata) often forming forests in Canada. It
is a slender tree with two leaves in each sheath,
and cones having spiny-tipped scales. The wood
is used for ties, etc. b. The scrub pine of the
eastern United State's.' c. The' lodgepole pine.
Apparently, it's proper to call any lodgepole
a jackpine, but not. all . Jackpincs are lodge
poles. We are reminded of an incident that occurred :
last summer when we were riding through the. .
forests with a military visitor who was unac
customed to western trees and asked a lot about
species. Some time after they , had been identi-.
fied for him, he pointed to a specimen and in
quired: "Is that a cabin-pole pine?" - '-
Br PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, Jan.-2S Mr. Roosevelt
has been edged up to his promised meet
ing with Stalin and Churchill by a series of
foreign affairs speeches which seemed to set a
new American background for the discussions.
Pressure from underneath the situation, gen
erated by unsatisfactory political developments
in Europe, lifted the lid on the subject officially
only to a limited extent and apparently only
for a time. Yet rising courageously with new
ideas have come Senators Vandenberg, Wheeler
and Conally. and George Foster Dulles, the
Dewey advisor
These may have appeared somewhat confus
ing to the public, but together they constituted
a format affording Mr. Roosevelt knowledge
of what is wanted in various quarters and there
fore how far he can go.
For instance, the Vandenberg opus was con
fusedly interpreted as a conversion of an isola
tionist to the internationalist viewpoint. The
gleeful internationalists hailed the speech from
that standpoint, and so did the somewhat dis
appointed nationalists who seemed to fear its
import.
Actually it was only a Vandenberg plan which
did not join either side. His program, which
is even at this late date being confusingly re
ported in magazines, seemed to rue to be simply
this: ......
Want Real Freedom , ..
RUSSIA and Britain are dividing Europe into
spheres of influence, while our ideal and
our policy languishes. We want freedom for
all peoples, apparently real democratic free
dom, not just deliverance of Europe from the
bonds of fascism into the chains of commun
ism. ,
Vandenberg therefore proposed to pledge free
future use by the president of our armed forces
in the postwar world to prevent remilitariza
tion by Germany and Japan only. He did
not pledge their free use or any other kind
of use, to perpetuate 'forever the conquests
Russia is making in Poland, or the Balkans or a
British sphere of influence in Greece.
Indeed, he mentioned the possibility that
there might be an unjust peace, and ne obvious
ly did not want our armies backing that kind
of a proposition. That was the essence be
hind the Vandenberg idea.
Now Wheeler, also, I think, was not clearly
understood. He said he favored the Connally
plan for an interim council of nations, and this
was hailed as his conversion.- But Wheeler did
not want free use of our troops in any future
war for any, purpose. :
His main point was that the next war threat
is not likely to arise from Germany or Japan
but from Russia, . France, China, Britain or us
the big five with the" arms, whereas Ger
many and Japan are to be completely crushed.
It is clear therefore that both Vandenberg
and Wheeler have said only they wish to co
operate in a just peace a pledge which is some
what modified by the obvious policies of both
Russia and Britain - in Europe, and Wheeler's
additional reservations.
Vandenberg did say he would not expect full
freedom for Europe at once and seemed willing
to s accept temporarily a certain limitedly un
satisfactory European - condition .....
.i .,. .'; . : -, . j
Attack On Aloofness -
SIMILARLY the speech of the Dewey inter-
O nationalist adviser, Mr.. Dulles, was reported
' as an attack upon American aloofness in foreign
policy and was misunderstood aaan assault upon
isolationists. What Mr. Dulles said was that
current conditions "in Europe are due to Rus
sian and British policies.
Russia; as he put it, has been assigned re
sponsibility in Europe "in largo part," and
Britain "in small part." For this he held the
administration responsible.
Wheeler is the only one who came right out
and plainly imolied he did not expect Russia
and the others to agree to anything that would
be acceptable to him, but the same thought was
not absent from phe careiuny framed vanaen
benz plan or from the Dulles speech.
. Mr. Roosevelt is thus being sent forth with
what aooearS to be a popular mandate to break
power politics in Europe nothing more. To
whatever extent he-fails in that, the plan he
brings home will be in public jeopardy (judging
from the popular reaction to these talks).
Postscriptcdly, do you remember the fervent-
Iv-Dressed point of- view in the last campaign in
which a great many people were led to believe
the future. safety, of the worm aepenaea upon
defeat of the handful of isolationist senators
here? Is it not now apparent that European
events had even then carried us far beyond such
considerations, and that' the plaint was merely
political rubbish?,. ,

THE MESSAGE
The captain sorted the mail on
his desk,
rlnnnina .antlv thmitoh it all.
Then, in puzzled wonder he read
the words
Of a note, written in childish
scrawl.
Dear God: I hate to bother you
'Cause you're awfully busy, I
know.
But couldn't you spare just a
minute
To send a message for me and
Joe? ..
There's no one but you who'd
pay tenshun
To little boys like Joe and me,
So we're depending on you, dear
God,
To send our message across the
sea.
It's to Daddy. He's been gone
such a long time.
We miss him mora and more
each day.
We'd just like to ask him, God,
How much longer he'll be away,
And send him our love; it's his
birthday.
(Dear God what makes wars so
slow?)
Be sure to sign It at the bottom
From your loving sons, Jim and
Joe.
An addess was carefully pinned
to the page;
A soldier on a far distant isle.
The captain blinked 'til the blur
was gone.
Then marked the words. With a
crooked smile
He passed it along to the radio
"Send this immediately," he said
wun a nou.
And a message went winging
out over the ocean
To hold fast a little boy's faith in
God.

FROM MR. WIARD
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (To
the Editor) A few months ago
I was arrested for placing a
check In the Enterprise irriga
tion canal by Mr. Thomas, which
Mr, Thomas swore on the witr
nes3 stand that he told me to
put this check in, but he said he
didn't tell me to leave It there,
just said so we on Kane street
and Wlard street could irrigate
but we haven't had any water
yet to irrigate with and this was
told to me before two witnesses,
Walter Miller and Jack Sullivan.
Anyway six wise men, I guess
that is what they call them
selves, but that isn't just what
I call them, found me guilty,
and they say it takes all kinds
of people to make a world and
I guess we sure have them. Of
course they know before your
trial just how it is going to turn
out, we will just find him guilty
because all Mr. Thomas has to
do is snap his finger to them
and they know which way to
decide the case.
Well. I have tried several times
to find out from the judge, who
is a very good scout ana knows
right from wrong, what my fine
was and he says, "Harry, it
isn't anything." Well, when a
person is found guilty-jio fine,
no cost, no notning, how can
that be.
People are under the Impres
sion that I was fined one hundred
dollars, don't you Mr. Humble
and Mr. Shoupe think that it
would be a good thing for you
to put a piece in the News and
Herald explaining Just why you
didn't fine me? Does the state
have to pay everything just over
one bull headed man. or did Mr.
Thomai pay it? Just to save
his own hide.
. It Is going to be spring pretty
soon and I don't want to ride
ditches this summer and Mr.
Thomas can't get help in the
spring to do the work which he
is sure loosing lots of good
weather. It may be August or
September before we get any
water. It Is quite a job for me
to keep the ditch clean and still
have to pay besides and it Is
about time now to send out our
water bills, you know we have
to pay in advance. There Is only
about 60 families that take
water out of this little ditch
which you can nearly span with
one nana.
I think the boys should have
stayed here to clean ud on the
crooked people we have In this
country, we nave soma of the
nicest people that ever lived, and
wo have some of the crookedest,
too. Many Innocent people
have been hung by .picking a
crooKea jury.
