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.

Fireball Speeding Across
Sky Creates Loud Noises
By J. HUGH PRUETT
Astronomer. 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."

What would have happened to a

Because a few Japs arc flKht

JOENB ON WAR
KLAMATH FALLS. 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
