Remembering that Russia is
now a totalitarian despotism,
your reaction to this sentiment
may be a cynical one.
Restrain your cynicism.
Give heed to the lesson of his
tory. . ,,
Hold faith in the Russians.
Remember that at the time of
the French revolution the
French people were little tanner
away from serfdom than were
the Russians when they over
threw a czar a quarter of a cen
tury ago. In the bitterness of
their hatred, the French went to
the same bloody excesses.
But . . .
The French people lived and
grew and developed to become
Europe's strongest bulwark of
democracy and freedom of the
individual. The sane, practical
French people are probably our
greatest hope now for a decent
Europe in the critical years that
lie ahead of us.
Don't lose faith in the Russian
people. Don't judge them by
their present admittedly undem
ocratic government. Give them
time to grow up and blossom
out. History tells us plainly that
virile, hopeful peoples emerg
; mm ilnn darkness of serf
dom into the light of greater
freedom offer tremendous possi
bilities of progress toward a bet

for this world.
With bloody nazism reeling
toward its inevitable end, we
must guard against any feeling
that the war is about over.
The Pacific war is our real
war. It isn't over yet. It won't be
over until indoctrinated totali

Stick-Up Girl Blames
Magazines For Crime
(Continued from Page One)
these books paint a fascinating
picture of life. The 'con' racket
is glorified for the young girls
aim they think it's an easy way
to get money. If they'd just stop
nuiKiiiR this sort of thing attrac
tive, tneie'd be less juvenile de
linquency. 1 know. I've been
judged a 'juvenile' nine times,"
the girl said from a cell in the
county jail.
No Excuses
Betty June is a fluent talker.
She'd rather give you the
straight of it than waltz around
with lecoic excuses.
Going back to her home life,
she said her father, mother and
their three children lived in one
room in Los Angeles. She was
nine years old when she first ran
away from home. Betty June
was placed in a state reform
school for vagrancy, then later
was sent to the Good Shepherd
convent in Los Angeles for the
same reason. Later she served
time in the San Luis Obispo
county jail on a petit theft
charge and in Eureka, Calif.,
county jail for vagrancy.
Not "Wanted" .
When District Attorney Clar
ence E. Humble asked Betty
June if she was "wanted" else
where, she told him she didn't
think so.
"Somebody phoned in to Eu
reka, said I was wanted for rob
bery in Los Angeles and they
picked me up for vagrancy and
gave me 10 days, but I never
hoard any more about it," she
told the district attorney.
She said she wasn't wanted
for robbery, but that when she
left Los Angeles she was work
ing as a one-man operator of a
city railway car and when she
came to the end of the line, she
simply left the car there and
walked away with the one.trip
receipts, approximately $9, in
her .pocket. j
Wore Uniform
It was this motorman's uni
form that Betty June was wear
ing when they picked her up in
Klamath Falls after Clauson had
run her out of his store on Klam
ath. "Would you have shot that
man?" we asked her. She had
already admitted having the
gun loaded when she entered
Clauson's place.
"No, I wouldn't have shot him.
I'd have shot when he first hit
me if I'd intended to do that,"
she replied.
On Complaint
Betty June had one complaint
to make. Otherwise she was
pretty dam philosophical about
being in 1he county jail.
"Every place you go they take
care of boys. Girls haven't a
chance. There are good homes
for boys, placed where they can
readjust themselves. Vou don't
find things for girls like that,"
she said.
"Communities will concen
trate on boys to the extent where
they are prepared to take up
their- life when they get out.
When I was in the reform school,
they didn't ask me what I could
or wanted to do. For example,
I don't care about sewing. Yet
they forced me to make my own
clothes. I would like to have
worked as a nurse girl.
No Individual Reform
"Punishment is all right. They
should punish delinquents. But
they treat you as a group, not as
an individual. Reform schools
do not deal enough in occupa
tional devices. They don't devel
op talent so you can do some
thing with yourself when you
get out."
"You can say this" she said.
"Juveniles get in trouble first be
cause they read so much that
makes it appear attractive. Then
there is too much sympathy for
the juvenile, things are too easy
for them, too lax. And then
with a few tears, they can Ret
