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are no longer valid, inasmuch as this city is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.

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. It will not matter
much which is labelled "inter-
