AaaodaUd Fna lumbar Audit fjiirMU Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY THERE is a possibility the end of the war tn Europe may take the wraps oft some of the proposed airline extensions now pending before the civil aeronautics board. Reports have been heard here mat more equip ment may be released soon to the airlines, and extension of commercial aviation activities may follow. Several applications to pro vide much-needed service to Klamath Falls are ijow before the CAB. Among these are the major line proposals of the United Airlines and Western Airlines. TTniterl hv e.a.tahllshin al ternate schedules through here, EPLEY could provide service quickly without additional flying equipment, while Western is anxious to es'tablish a route up and down the Pacific coast with Klamath as a major stopping point. Klamath has long suffered from lack of com mercial airline service. Some of the old reasons for denying applications to come through here are no longer valid, inasmuch as this city is now on a through" airway, the navigation aids are in, and the local Birport is one of the finest in the nation that can accommodate any com mercial ship. It is true the navy ia operating the field, but it is our understanding that the navy would permit regular commercial planes to use the field. Now is a good time to begin pushing again for this needed service. Klamath has a fine case for a through airline. We are getting just a little tired of receiving airmail that takes longer to reach us than ordinary mail. . Johnson Leavos Lake k E learn with regret that Vic Johnson will W leave his job as Lake county agent to take a similar position in Umatilla county. Mr. Johnson served year and a half as assistant Klamath county agent before going to Lakevlew about 1930. He has done an outstand ing job in Lake county, he and our own Charley Henderson making a grand team for this pert of the state. The Umatilla appointment is a tribute to the excellent record made by Vic Johnson in his Lake county assignment. Here's wishing him the best of luck. He will take care of the rest. .. What, No Speaker? . KLAMATH '-Union high school will graduate.. Its 200 or so seniors this week without the customary commencement speaker. School offi cials and board members will make a few re marks, and the chief speech-making will be done by students Valedictorian Jimmie Case and Salutatorlan Marjorie Huskinson. Having heard numerous commencement speakers, and having been one a few times, we are not going to deplore the KUHS deci sion. We predict very satisfactory commence ment exercises can be held without a "principal speaker." Some reader will probably come up right now with the remark that things will be all right, too, without the annual comments in this column addressed to the graduating students. True enough, and that's enough on the subject. Dunsmulr News ran an advertisement last week offering for sale a gas range and a baby "almost like new." Editor Elmer Jenks has been answering the telephone ever since, pati ently explaining that it should have read "baby buggy" and parrying the good-natured ribbing of subscribers. "Oh well," said Elmer, "it proves our paper is read, anyhow." News Behind The News By PAUL MALLOW WASHINGTON, May 21 Here is the story no one could get at San Francisco the inside story of why Sidney Hillman, Russian labor, and leftists of British trade unions hap pened to assemble their new world labor order on Oakland, across the bay, just at the very day of the opening of the world peace confer ence, and what they were up to. All inquiries were pushed aside out there with the explanation that this new world labor ' power, called the World Trade Union Congress, was merely looking for reflected publicity from its proximity to the conference, or something similarly inconsequential. It is no wonder the story was hidden securely beneath a rubble of confusing explanations be cause it would have disclosed a coup de confer ence planned by Mr. Hillman and his Russian associates a coup which was squelched com pletely in a secret meeting of the conference steering committee. Despite intervention by no less a power than Molotov himself. These are tho facts: The Oakland labor assembly was completely under control of Hillman and the Russians, with the British riding quietly behind them. The head of the Russian labor delegation at Oakland was also an official delegate for Russia in the San Francisco peace meeting and the pipeline between. Through him the Hillman crowd worked up a program whereby they would all get into the conference and into the permanent peace setup by being established as the group to handle world labor problems. They succeeded in getting the economic com mittee of the conference to approve their entry as consultants. The economic committee in cludes strong representation of smaller nations, particularly Latin America. A resolution carrying out this purpose was handed by the economic committoe to the steer ing committee which is composed of all nations. After some warm discussion, that guiding com mittee of the conference decided it would not even go into the matter thoroughly and de featcd the resolution. Championed By Molotov WHEN Hillman saw this coming he got Molotov to champion his cause, and it was the Russian foreign minister who pressed the matter as far as it went in the steering committee. By his own adroitness, Hillman thus out slicked himself and disclosed his hand. That Molotov would champion his cause was ail-too-obvious evidence to everyone on the inside that their fears and suspicions about Hillman's trade union congress had solid ground that it was more Russian than worldly. A few days later the Oakland meeting quietly adjourned without taking any noticeable action and Mr. Hillman went off to southern California for a rest. The frustration of the coup represented a victory for Bill Green, the AFL president, who has been vigorously fighting Hillman's attempt since the last election to establish with the com munist a world labor front Green demanded in resolutions passed by his executive council (May 8) that world labor be represented in the future world order by the international labor office, a successful creature of the old League of Nations. Shrewdly he did not seek the place for his own AFL world group which is represented by an organization known as the International Federation of Trades Unions. He did not seek to steal for himself the world authority and power which he would deny to -the CIO crowd, but would leave it to an established league of nations organization. His position was impregnable. a Britons Suspicious, Too I HEAR that even the British have become suspicious of Hillman's effort to align with, the communists In a front which would in some ways be as powerful as the peace setup of the nations and If Hillman's coup had gone .through able to Influence -the judgment of nations. The Russian unions are not free trade unions but subdivisions of the government I understand that even Sir Walter Citrine, the British ultra-liberal leader, is looking for open doors behind him to escape politely the agreement Hillman and the Russians effected In London some months ago establishing this new organization. The British trade unions which were unani mously represented in that London gathering have now split, and I do not expect they will go very much further with Hillman and the Russian effort to capture world labor control. Hillman, by this effort coming atop his do mestic electoral activities, has lost much ground In Washington, particularly in congress. No doubt he will try to come back and con tinue to build world labor power against the AFL's international unions, but the chances that he could become a great world control influence (as he tried domestically) seem to have been stopped definitely by the San Fran cisco action. Also in his coming world combat with AFL, I would bet against him. Totalitarian trade unions are hardly what American workmen want. His league with the Russians (especially as it loses British support) may hurt the CIO in domestic labor dealings. Furthermore, the AFL is rather powerful Internationally and able to take care of itself In most countries, although the hedgemony ac quired by Russia In eastern Europe, the Bal kans, Austria, Greece, etc., and perhaps even in the trade union movements in France and Italy, will promote a dangerous new opposition growth. Mr. Green's cry that his AFL represents American trade union concepts, however, is apt to be popular where it counts most, in the United States including Washington, the cen ter of national power. Confirmation Sent Back To Senate . WASHINGTON, May 21 OP) President Truman today sent the name of Laurence F. Arnold of Illinois back to the senate for confirmation as a member of the board of directors of the smaller war plants corporation. Although confirmed already, the White House disclosed it was necessary to return the nomina tion to the senate because of an inaccuracy in spelling. Permission To Buy Railway Sought The Central Pacific Railway company in Washington Satur day asked permission to buy the Nevada-California - Oregon rail way, which connects Lakeview with Alturas and Reno. Both lines are controlled by the Southern Pacific. The trans action, the application said, would not involve any change In operations or affect the carrier's employes.

SIDE GLANCES i iv- s-. cowtmiTiitarre,ic . m tt rT. or Yr-VBTirn-l n r 1 i i "You can really save me from disaster -I lost my ration From Other Editors INTERREGIONAL HIGHWAY SQUABBLE (Eugene Register Guard) Before the Oregon state high way commission Klamath Falls, Bend and the communities east of the Cascades arc battling against Medford, Roseburg and the cities of Southern Oregon over the designation of the "in terregional highway" between the Sacramento valley and the Willamette valley. Klamath and Central Oregon want U. S. No. 97 (The Dalles California road) and the Wil lamette road (Ore. No. 58) in corporated into the "interreg ional" between Weed, Califor nia and Eugene. The people on the old U. S. No. 80 line through Roseburg and Medford are tearing their hair. Eugene (as .represented by the chamber's highway committee of which Ed Turnbull is chair man) has elected to take no part in this controversy. For more than -,15 years Mr. Turn bull and his group have worked unceasingly for the develop ment of BOTH ROUTES and It stands on that policy. Legally only one of the routes can be designated officially as "interregional" at the present time, but both ARE interreg ional, and because of the topo graphy of the Pacific coast, botn have exceptional import ance in the TRAFFIC SYSTEM connecting California and the Northwest. During the pre war period these facts were emphasized in repeated confer ences with the U. S. Army's Ninth Corps command at San Francisco in discussing trans port for defense: 1. Through the mountains which separate the Sacramento valley from the big northern valleys there are ONE TWO major gateways for railroads or highways, as contrasted with the broad valleys where there is a choice of routes. 2. Complete devclODment of BOTH GATEWAYS is a mat ter of utmost strategic and economic importance. Official designation as "inter regional" means only that the line chosen gets pavement 2 feet wider than present standard and 4-foot shoulder. But there is nothing to prevent the state from adopting a similar stand ard for any alternate route, and as far as those mountain gate ways are concerned, we believe BOTH should be brought to maximum standard. There is an illusion that de signation as "interregional means four-lane superhighway design from end to end start ing now. That is just an illu sion except where the design nated interregional passes inrougn cities or lu.uuu or more population. Such superhighways trans- continentals and laterals were discussed when the present fed eral aid bill was before con xrcss. but the idea was aban doned as premature, and the INTENT of present legislation Is merely to get fast and ade quate routes between states and through major cities. Chances are the present U. S. 00 south of Eugene will get tho call as "interregional" because it serves more cities and more population, although it must cross some five major summits where the other route has only one, and although It will be much costlier to comploto. As a matter of fact, the Klam ath-Willamette route will be virtually complete to modern standards with the first post war contracts for the section from Chiloquln to Beaver Marsh and the section from Pleasant Hill to' Lowell, where as it will take much longer to rebuild the many difficult sections of U. S. 99 south of Cottage Grove, even with such priorities as may attack tne des ignation as "interregional." To the eager rivals and to the rest of the state we would like to convey . these common sense facts: 1. BOTH ROUTES aro vital to develop maximum traffic In terchange between California and the Northwest. 2. EVERYBODY benefits if both of these gateways through tne mountains are opened wide (with the scenic Coast highway supplementing). 3. TRAFFIC FLOW between the Sacramento and Willamette valleys should be the common objective, and if we get it there will be plenty of business for U. S. 97, U. S. 99. U. S. 101 from end to end, and for all connecting roads. When, as and If, mammoth superhighways become neces sary, or economic, it is quite likely they will AVOID popu lation centers, and how such lines would be laid out Is any body's guess. In the meantime, in Oregon we should have the complete and bring to highest possmie standards all major lines of TRAFFIC FLOW. The Willamette valley cannot be hurt by development of Central Oregon's vital U. S. 97, nor can Central Oregon suffer from completion of U. S. 00 or the Coast Highway U. S. 101. These gateway routes between California and .the Northwest derive exceptional importance only from the fact that they are absolutely limited. BOTH are needed.
