We cannot deny you got your published impression of Klamath Falls. You can t deny these folks got these impressions of your lecture.) News Behind the News By PAUL MALLON , WASHINGTON, April 12 If you pull the curtains behind Senator Vandenberg, you will find a republican party concealed in a naze Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY "" .nr.n wiil for this one: H in Harper's magazine lor this month, one ' rom w h i c h there emanates varied-colored, C. Hartley Grattan has an article. on the Korth- west in which, alter a one blurb for Medford, he says: "Over the mountains is Klamath Falls, a rough and readv town, which illustrates to perfection the American capacity for achieving delap idation without achieving an tiquity." Now wait a minute Before we load up the old. -45 and start after Brother Grattan. i.n, iir f this- He rjrobably has ordinary intelligence. He EPLEV probably has ordinary eyesight. He visited Klamath Falls a few months ago, and it can hardly be denied that he must have gotten the, impression he put down in the Harper-s-piece. Of course, that statement aisonraioiouro Hartley (jraiian s capacuy win timid, orient lights, The Michigan senator is earnestly attempting to present cooperative and constructive improve ments to the administration world peace pro gram. The prominence he has attained doing it has elevated him to the pedestal of front page spokesman of the minority party on this subject. .' '. ' But the news behind the news of it is. he is not. There has been no agreement among the party leaders on a course of action. For example, the points of the Vandenberg program of amendments are similar to two of the seven . points -made by ex-President Hoover. But my information insists Vanden berg did not get them from Hoover, who indeed wants to go much further and create a regional subdivision of the new world order. - Senator Taft is an old League of Nations man who. appears not greatly impressed by anything that is-now happening in the postwar peace line, K.li on fltm slimnses that are Ex-Governor Stassen, ' who is being groomed likely to do either flattering or uoeious in justices to any subject and can miss the whole nnlnt of a ffOod StorV. In this "case, the latter has happened, and his whole' article, seeking to give clever, word pictures of the towns he visited in the north west,' is no doubt filled with examples of the fBu . Ac fnr Klamath, the interestim? story is that it is only about 25 years out of the Dewey LurKS Quietly for the next republican presidential candidacy by the New Dealers at least, has talked with some of the other republican big men, but he left them with the impression that he has an ideal rather than a program. , Indeed, his career has net put him into close contact. with foreign affairs developments. sagebrush, that it came out of the sagebrush with a glorious boom wnicn, luce ail oooms, made money but not construction beauty and permanence in the locale of its occurrence. . e e e e Let's Look At Ourselves A E ' have been steadily, bat tbbsrowIi-r" VY shedding the undesirable physical con-" sequences of that boom. Every town we have ever seen has a certain amount of delapidation, and Klamath has its share. Its public build ings, banks, theatres, and larger business build ings "compare favorably with those of most cities of similar size in this regiori,and some of them are outstanding. -.-But on the edges of . the business district, and on the edges of the residential district, are evidences -of the " sort of thing that Inspired C. Hartley Grattan's verbal; gymnastics. Furthermore, because-the general -level of property improvement and maintenance has advanced slowly, many of us have been guilty of minor neglect and careless ness that add to unfavorable impressions caused by the horrible examples. . So, . taking Grattan's comment at face value, there's-a real moral in it for those of us who- love the iown, believe in its future, and want to see it develop in public respect and in at tractive surroundings for those who live here. If we can make it, physically, equal to the grand people who reside in and around it, we will have done a job. . - - . , DEWEY is keepmg as quiet as a nwaen cat in a field of mice. His man, John Foster Dulles, refused or failed to go to San Francisco as Vandenberg's assistant, but is now going on his own as an observer. Dulles sees Vandenberg frequently, but I do not believe there is agree-ment-between -them on. a- program or. a party position. . The Vandenberg leadership, therefore, only reflects his own skilled initiative toward the establishment of a position for the. party. Frankly a great many republicans think the Roosevelt project is in the shoals already, will have to be changed, or may run aground. Sagely they are awaiting a clearer opportunity to commit themselves. They have heard, for instance, that Stalin's direct quotes repeatedly offered at the Livadia conference were: "I am not' going to consult Albania and Ecuador" about what is to be done or have them interfere with Russian purposes. Also they have heard rumors that Manchuria was given to Stalin at Livadia (personally I do not believe this to be true, but the rumors have created a clamor in Chungking). . As a result most republican spokesmen are now rising to defend the American position in favor of the rights of small powers, and search ing to ascertain -if there are any more secret understandings, such as the agreement to give Russia three votes in the assembly to one each for the smaller powers. Most of the top Tepublicans are international ist,, yet there are a few isolationist senators left. These, too, are biding their time, expect ing that developing events will say what they would like to say now on the administration program. But they are .not yet certain whether they will vote against "a" treaty coming out of San Francisco, and are inclined to resolve all doubts in favor of it, if possible. It Inspires Loyalty THERE'S a certain something about Klamath - (that Grattan : knows nothing about1 and might not understand) which makes it attractive to real people. It was after reading Grattan's remark and we were walking down the street, thinking about it, that a young marine' officer honked his bom at us and picked us up for a nae 10 ine omee. -Tne- talk -turned to the-,.-, - .-.- weather, and the town, and the surrounding Little Opposition comitrj, and he said: - THEREFORE, it may said, the administration Tve been i here for a while now, and it's got is practically without opposition on the toe. rm sold. I was talking to the wife just;, peace matter as it was in the war. Any do last night about it: When this thing is over, mestic politics involved is purely longsighted, we would like to come here for good. , You'll and - not - in any way - an - impediment to Mr. be seeing me around." '.Roosevelt. , . -. .' He has won a victory over all opposition on Long, Boring and UnintereStina' of international cooperation, but the """. , " 3 question now is what can he do with it. f HARTLEY GRATTAN Is an easterner.:. This search into the politics behind' foreign , (need we say that?) who came throueh the northwest on a lecture tour a few months ago. He was brought to Klamath under auspices of the Rotary club, and lectured on Australia to the high school students in assembly . and to a handful of townspeople who turned " out In the evening. His evening lecture to. a volunteer audience was given largely to: empty seats in the high school auditorium, while' the . rtudents, of course, had no choice. That prob ably soured his memory of the place. We were among the absent We asked a well qualified adult today what he remembered Jbout Grattan's lecture. "He talked down to his audience," which' affairs and into the reoublican position certain ly has developed further evidence, urging the administration to delay further peace action (and the San Francisco meeting) until condi tions have settled. There is no reason why they, too, should' not wait until they see what the postwar condition is and' what " its" troubles are in Asia before attempting, to sign, seal and deliver an un amendable formula for handling both. -They may wish after the war to move far difierently. than they want to now. In the strictest truth, their formula now proposes to guarantee, forever, and without change the unknown. - LIVESTOCK aPH11 8A FRANCISCO.

Every place he was billeted, the picture went up on the wall at the head of his bed, and that made it seem like home. So on the night he was telling me about, on New Year's Eve, he was out on patrol with his squad when the Germans shelled the town where they were billeted. Some time later, orders came through for the Americans to move up, under fire. They moved up, dug in, and then the boy from Texas remembered his pic ture. He not only wanted it, but he wasn't going to abandon it In a town they might never see again. So he began timing the artillery barrages and finally started crawling backwards. For two hours he worked his way through the mud, back into the town, crawling all the wayt and never too sure where the line was. -In town, he found what had been the house where he lived. A shell had gone through the roof. There was not much left but rubble. So he started digging until he found what he was alter. The shell -had torn up the picture pretty badly, but the head was still Intact. He showed me the nirfitr just big enough now to fit inside a packBge of cigarettes. And she was quite lovely enough to pay for the trip he had made that night. , Leonardo da Vlncl was one of the first In history to believe that an image must be created in the eye.
