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

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-,.-, - .-.-

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

Every place he was billeted, the

So on the night he was telling

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

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
