Associated Preu ...I9": Member Audit Bureau Circulation EPLEY Today's Roundup ! By MALCOLM EPLEY MALIN chamber of commerce held ils an nual meeting last night with about 300 Dersons present. It was an event that would do credit to a place with many times the population of Matin's 535. In the years that we have been going to them, Malin's annual chamber meetings have always been like that. Retiring -.President Ed Stastny was able to report numerous constructive activ ities in the chamber's year, and. called upon Dick Henzel to tell the story of the com munity's biggest civic enter prise, the Malin community park. This park, to be developed on a tract just outside the town, will cost approximately $132, 000. That sounds like a lot of money, but it doesn't have anyone worried. Already, $86,000 have been subscribed to the park construction fund from private sources! A park district with an assessed valuation of more than $1,000,000 has been organized under state law. and a small levy will complete the construction fund and provide for mainten ance on a permanent basis. Eschewing selfishness, the people of Malin intend to make the park a basin-wide asset. Its swimming pool, community house, picnic grounds, and other features, will be open to the use of the general public. Malin's park project in all its aspects is a model for other communities of Oregon with park ambitions. t a Yes, We Ate! ONE always comes home with a full stomach from meetings of the Malin chamber of commerce. The Helping Hand society used to throw huge banquets in the high school gym. That was be fore the war. The eating part of the program is more informal now, but none the less filling. Last night it was cracked crabs, Malin potato salad, and a lot of other trimmings topped off with those special Czech pastries that Klamath Falls women take home with them to show to: their friends. : Confusing THERE were many confusing ramifications in the situation that has resulted finally in the temporary closure of two major Klamath restaurants at a period when this city is jammed with people and public eating accom modations are at a premium. We will not try to go into all of them. OPA, which is penalizing the restaurants for violation of red . point regulations, made an original mistake by scheduling the suspensions concurrently. That didn't make sense in the situation here, and OPA then sought to rectify its error by a new order staggering the sus pensions. However, there was some confusion about the changed notices, and some one alleged ly without proper authority to do so posted the wrong suspension notice on the door of one of the. places. The management, which had made plans to close in accordance with the original notice, proceeded to close on the orig inal date, feeling that it had tardy notice of change of plans. Unless there is a new order, this, place's closure will continue for 60 days after March . 19, the date now established for beginning suspension, r . As we have said here before, we do not believe ' in condoning violation of the OPA's red point regulations. But we think that the penalties could have been worked out more intelligently in this situation. As it is,; they are working a hardship on -the public. By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Fob. 27 A government of - ficial and a magazine writer back from liberated countries in Europe met a small, trusted group of senators a few days ago with a surprising story. They reported they' had found especially trained Russian political administrations had gone into those Balkan countries (from which even our officials have been excluded frequent ly) to indoctrinate the countries with communist ways. They have made remarkable headway in Bul garia, Yugoslavia, and Rumania, if not else where by. now. Skilled in their art, they are also backed by the power of the Russian army, and protected by censorship from the outside world. We know nothing of what has gone on there. These two American authorities told the senators these Balkan governments, as well as those of Czechoslovakia and Hungary, will re flect the ascendancy of Russia, and the people will accept Russian domination as coming from their liberators. Anti-fascist forces ruthlessly have extermin ated all opposition, they said, staging not only executions but some deaths which history would class as murders (the old familiar totalitarian way of liquidating rivals.) Elections in these countries will be useless, they said, because only, one party will be allowed to vote, or, indeed, will care to vote. a Choice Threatens Japan ADMIRAL NIMITZ' choice of Iwo instead of Formosa for the next step after Manila gave solid threat to the warnings of our military leaders that we are headed toward Tokyo directly, and not as formerly planned a step- by-step sidling campaign through the China coast. It might bring an end to the Asiatic war a year or more ahead of former expectations. The Volcano, Bonin and Ryukyu islands ad jacent southward of Japan must be seized even beyond the Iwo venture to afford land bases for our planes to cover any attack upon the Jap mainland. Under this new strategy, after we get to Tokyo, we would have to chase the bulk of the Jap land armies over the continent of Asia, but certainly this can better be done by first seizing the source of Jap power and authority at home a step which has long been advo cated in this spot, and now made fully feasible by Jap weakness, (They have excellent new planes, including some of the jet type, of which wfirave none yet, but their navy is not a fighting force and they cannot match us in power either in the air or on land.) a Imply Walkover M ALL mustard seeds of detraction of General O MacArthur somehow have been finding their anonymous, mysterious way into the news. These suggest the Japs did not defend Luzon, and recapture of Manila was a walk-over, the im plication being that this was not a hard-fought or brilliant campaign. The Jap fight for Luzon and Manila was made on Leyte, and it was a vicious struggle. Listen to this. Seventy thousand dead Jap bodies were picked up and counted by us on the Leyte battlefields. Fifty to sixty thousand more were killed on land, in the air, and particularly upon their naval ships in the desperate bid they made to cut off our Leyte landing forces by using the bulk of their fleet in three striking moves. About 130,000 Japs were slain in Leyte resistance to MacArthur, and inestimable numbers of additional Japs were wounded. True, they did not have much left for the defense of Luzon, and the bulk of their force shied away to the northern end of the island. Heaviest resistance has come from that northern flank, although notice of it has been lost in the more spectacular entry into Manila. Small Jap forces also remain in Cebu, Mindoro, and two or three other Philippine spots, but they will not be troublesome without air power. MacArthur's capture of Corregidor was in line with the brilliant plan of the whole Philip pine campaign. The Japs required weeks to take it by storm at considerable loss. Mac Arthur air-pounded it daily, then surprise-captured it by paratroops, weeks ahead of normal expectations. Unless MacArthur leads the land forces in conjunction with Admirals Nimitz and Halsey handling the navy, the coming Asiatic campaign will not enjoy the enthusiastic confidence which MacArthur's record justifies.

General Extension Division, University of Oragon Silence is a distinguishing fea ture of the hurried slipping of a small shooting star across the night. But when a dazzling speeding fireball tears the sky overhead, there is almost every thing but silence after one to three minutes, the time required for the sound to travel down to the earth. The growling, gut teral rumble is sometimes de scribed as terrifying! The huge daytime fireball over Portland, July 2, 1939, is an excellent example of the con fusion into which meteoric sounds may throw an entire city. Those Indoors thought the siding was being ripped lorcibly from their houses; those outside, that a terrible explosion had occurred a block away. Newspaper of fices were swamped by tele phone demands for an explana tion of the mysterious commo tion. One woman wrote later, I don t believe I could ever live through another such trying or deal." But knowledge that an unus ual sky noise likely is of meteor ic origin should be comforting rather than disturbing. Blame it on a harmless meteor, none of whose kind has ever caused a single recorded human death. The chances of a fatality in a bathtub are very much greater. Some assume that meteoric sounds result from impacts with the ground; many others, to ex plosions high in the air. Surely it is true that explosions are often heard by those nearest them, but only as snapping noises of minor importance. An observer near the end of the flight of the Yakima fireball of April 20, 1933, saw three rapid ly occurring bursts, then over a minute later (sound travels 15 mile per second) heard three light crackles. , The thunderous detonations sometimes come from parts of the fireball's path 40 or SO miles behind the disappearance point. The substantial part of a meteor is solid metal or stone racing through the sky often at 30 or more miles a second. The terrible atmospheric pros- sure developed in front of this body starts powerful air waves which, when reaching our ears, give us the sensation of sound. These "shock waves" are of the same nature as those produced oy artillery projectiles traveling with a speed greater than that ol sound. Soldiers on active duty aro quite familiar with these noisy overhead shells which sound like a heavy freight train rumbling through a tunnel. Sounds of another kind arc mentioned by 10 per cent of all observers reporting on fireballs to the American Meteor society. These are said to be "swishing" effects exactly like that of a sky rocket and audible at the time the meteor is in flight. This Is considered a "psychological" sound unintentionally created later due to sudden excitement and the resemblance of the me teor's appearance, usually with accompanying sparks, to the fa miliar Fourth-of-July rocket. Of two persons, side by side, one will often mention a swish while the other reports silence. Coplin Condition Reported Improved Alexander Coplin of Dorrls, Calif., who suffered a fractured skull in an altercation in the city jail early Sunday morning, is reported by Dr. Peter Rozcn dal, county health officer, as slightly irhproved today. He is still in a semi-conscious state, however, and a special night nurse has been assigned to the case. Rozcndal also stated that the oaticnt's condition was "hopeful." Elks to Honor Past Exalted Rulers Past exalted ruler's night will be observed at the Klamath Elks lodge on Thursday eve ning, beginning with a compli mentary dinner at 6:30 n. m. Frank Peyton, president of the Past Exalted Ruler's club for the last year, will preside. Nomination of officers will be a major event of the evening.

Ore., (To tho Editor) Kvory now and then, you hear someone say, "Why doesn't God atop this war? If Ho li a God of love, how con he allow so much suffering and killing?" It would bo hard to believe that such questions wero being asked If ono did not hoar them with his own ean. This war may bo God'g Judg ment but it Is not Cod's wiil. Thli war is a consequence of man's disobedience or defiance of (iod'i will. Man brings down punishment on himself when he acts in violation of God's law, and he must accept that punish ment as a coivaofiuenco of his own sin. As rain falls on the Just ami unjual, alike, so also dues suffering and losses of wur Ian on the Innocent and milltv nllko. Rain falls according to Clod's law, so, man can do noth ing about it. War la not God's will. so. man can do something about (hut. All he has to do Is live according to God will as revealed In tho teachings of His Son. Among which are "Love Ihy neighbor-' ns thyself," and "Love thlno enemies." If man would live with his followmiin In friendship.
